So now let's take these questions that we have here. Will a woman
miss out on the extra reward if she does not pray in congregation?
Let's look at what Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
he mentioned, you know, he's mentioned all of the rewards for
praying in Masjid Nabawi. In the prophets Masjid in Makkah, and so
on. But then he said to the women of Madina, Munawwara, that her
salad in her house is superior to praying in the masjid. So, I think
if we go with what he's saying, that if you get this huge reward
of praying in the masjid Nabawi, but then he's saying that it's
superior to pray at home, then work out the mass. Right? I think
that's as clear as anything that, you know, that's as clear as
anything that you could say that it's superior. So how that
superior Allah knows best paid superior. That's what the Prophet
said Allah said. So you don't have to worry about diminishing
rewards, you trust in that narration. And in sha Allah, it's
superior for you, in everything in sha Allah.
Can one read behind someone who has done Messiah on normal socks?
Now, in this case, because we've got so many people who may be
doing this, it's not permissible to do Messiah on normal socks,
because they have to fulfill a certain criteria and condition.
And the reason for that is where the professor Larson did Messiah
on and not wash, it was done on leather socks, he was done on her
face as related by Mojito Michelle butter the alone in Bukhari and
Muslim. So when you've got something that is related, opposed
to the general ruling, then what the real Am I mentioned is that
you have to restrict it to that context. So the rhythm I mentioned
is that if you've got anything like leather socks, then it will
be valid. And what they've said is that leather socks, they have
these qualities of being able to be very durable, you can walk with
them for a while, you know, they're waterproof to a certain
degree, and so on. So if you get something like seal skins that are
like that, where they're waterproof, and they're strong,
durable, you can walk two, three miles in them, then you can do
massage on that, but normal socks, you wouldn't do it. So basically,
that is the opinion of the four schools. Right? That is the
opinion of the four schools. Now in that case, if you've got
somebody who you are suspicious of that the wash, they haven't washed
their feet, and they've done muscle over regular socks.
Throw your suspicion out of the window and pray behind them. All
right. However, if you've seen somebody,
right, then before that prayer, making muscle over their socks,
and then they're leading the prayer, then pray with them and
repeat it afterwards. If you can, if you can leave without offending
anybody then pray somewhere else. But if you know they do it, but
you haven't seen them, do it, then just hold the good opinion and
just pray behind them in sha Allah, Allah subhanaw taala will
accept your prayer. Right? So because we have to deal with this
in a way because at the end of the day, it's almost in brothers that
we're dealing with. Right? So that's the if you've seen them do
it just before so you know they're praying with that will do then you
avoid it.
Otherwise, you just pray with it. There was a an instance for me
praying salata and my daughter had got hold of a medicine bottle, I
could see her open this bottle and put a syringe in her mouth, rather
than break my salad. I rushed to stop her with this instance break
the solid. Good question. This relates to
this relates to excessive action. If she was next to you, and you
quickly went like this, got it and put it to the side. And it was
less than it takes you to Say Subhan Allah Subhan Allah
Subhanallah, then your salad is valid.
All right, so he literally just went like this and put it to the
side. However, if it required you to move and you know, more than
three Subhanallah cest away from the table and everything, then
your salad is invalid, repeated.
Right? You won't be sinful for breaking it because it's
permissible to break it for those reasons. But you'd still have to
repeat it. Is it okay to play solid with niqab where you can you
shouldn't say that your forehead is touching the ground but it's
valid with niqab there is this under there is this miss
understanding that you can't pray with niqab and but you can see if
you're outside somewhere then great with your new carbon.
Absolutely. It's valid. Right? It's not hedge where you have to,
you know, not cover your face. Closing is during solid yes or no?
What am I supposed to ticket?
exam question. Multiple choice? Yes, no. Yeah, it's Makrooh. To
close your eyes, it's undesirable to close your eyes. You don't want
that to be your norm. However, there minima have mentioned that
if you cannot concentrate for a reason, you know, you have
blinking lights so you've got something or some issue, then it's
okay to close your eyes. So it should not become a norm. Right?
But it is valid to do it if you have to do it. What do you do and
children are crying while you are praying.
You could do a number of things. Right now
I mean, if you know they're going to do that you need to make
arrangements, you know, give them lots of sweets beforehand or
whatever, right? Get somebody else to look after them. But look, I
mean, saying it is easier than then actually doing it. And this
is an issue for women and that's why inshallah they're gonna get
lots of reward. That's why they get more reward than men
sometimes, because they've got these additional things, right to
do to take care of, that's why they're status. You know, one one
Sufi che, he said that I've seen young women right after they've
gotten married. And after they've had children, they rise faster in
their spirituality than young guys who are really all geared up
making no awful prayer and so on. Because the what you have to do
the selfless act of bringing up your children, right, is really,
really incomparable to many other things that you would do where you
enjoy your, you know what you're doing, right? So it's difficult,
you just do your best, you get your concentration, you try to put
them to sleep, you know, you just try to manage your time in a way
that you tried to pray when they're asleep or whatever. And
sometimes you get caught out, you just do your best. What breaks a
lot.
Bleeding breaks your solids, urinating, defecating passing
wind, any kind of what do you call it, vomiting a mouthful, all of
that breaks or breaks your salad speaking breaks your salad turning
away from the Qibla breaks your salad. What else anybody else?
laughing aloud breaks your salad.
Excessive action, let's talk about excessive action. I was praying
Salaat once
with somebody, I think it was therapy, prayer something. So
these guys next to me, and this is what he's doing.
Lit literally like four or five times in one records. After the
Salah, they told him brother, I think you should repeat your
prayer. Because you've done excessive action. Because if you
do any action that is that takes as long as saying Subhanallah
three times or more. Then you're solid breaks. If you did a quick
action like this. And then again, like this, and then like that,
it's mcru because you're doing it
for whatever reason, but you won't break your prayer. Right? Even if
it's combined together that you don't combine, it's just
separately. But if you do it in one go, then it's like you you've
done an excessive act of that take that took that long that duration
will break your prayer. So I told him, so 100 a nice guy, he
listened. Now this is the best part of it. He started the next
two rockets. Right? So he's like this
what does that prove?
It proves that it's a habit.
You'll see the same people doing this over and over again. And you
know, there's a shaytani that is dedicated to messing you up in
solid is called
cleans up and is one voodoo that's called wala ham. Now these two are
mentioned in Hadith very clearly there are the names of other
shayateen. But they're not as strongly reported. But these two
will happen and they cause you doubts in your prayer. And in your
Whoo.
You know, those that I got this question the other day that a
friend of mine, he had a bacon or something pasty, right? And then
he touched the key he touched something and then I touched that
thing is my is my arm my fingers impure. So I'm telling him, I
don't know, because it's about physical transfer of impurity. And
I can't tell if that's happened or not. But the only answer to that
is, if you're not 100% convinced that there has been a transfer of
the impurity, because the guy wasn't touching the pork. He was
touching the pasty outside, you know, the pastry outside.
So I said unless you're convinced that it transferred and you could
feel it and see it in your definite then ignore it. And then
I was gonna write that I do not want to hear any more questions
about this. Because I have from experiences the fourth person who
was hounded me while he stopped actually, there's three others who
hounded me about these kinds of questions. It's an obsession. It's
a problem. And I pray that Allah subhanaw taala, relieve the these
people from that problem, because once it gets to you, it's really
serious. I nearly typed that and I didn't. I sent the email, I get a
response back within five minutes. Just talk Allah for a very quick
response. What about if he touched the keyboard? And then I touch the
keyboard after that.
So now, I responded. I said, I've already answered the question. You
can apply the same answer to this. Please do not email me about this
again.
There was one man, he or he's asking me about whether his wife
is divorced from him or not base
Something he said three years ago, and I'm telling him no. Two other
scholars told him no, I asked me the question over and over and
over and over again. The only way I could get away from him then is
to say, Brother, I do not know the answer. Like you don't know the
answer. No, I don't. You know, I don't know the proper answer to
you, because I didn't ask him all the details. Because you know, as
a divorce case, like that you want it's just all doubt really, in
that kind of case, he finally stopped. He would call me from all
sorts of numbers. If you've got a problem like that, see a
psychiatrist, not the shape, because seriously, it's a medical
problem, right? Don't let it get to that. Don't stop fussing over
this Canada that the hadith is very clear. Sorry, the Juris
principle is very clear. It says Eliakim Allah Zulu be shuck.
Something that is definite will not be removed by a doubt.
So unless you're 100%, that something else has happened, then
ask otherwise, if it's just a doubt, just ignore it if it's less
than 50%, or just 50%?
Does urine or feces from a toddler or solid food in the nappy
invalidate a person's salad when they're praying? If the toddler
lies on them? Good question. It doesn't. If the toddler who can
move themselves and support themselves comes and climbs onto
you and they've got a soiled nappy, you won't break your
prayer. But if it's a child that you have to support, so it's a
very young child soiled nappy and you you have to hold them, you
know, maybe they were just about to force you held them in you have
to support them, then it will break because then you're carrying
the impurity. But if they're themselves, then you want they can
control themselves, then he won't break the prayer.
Good questions. Mashallah. Can women read Salaat? Wearing
artificial jewelry, jewelry, especially rings?
That's a good question. Again. Artificial jewelry is permissible
for women, meaning all forms of artificial jewelry are permissible
for women except rings.
There's a hadith in which the Boris Ellison said nothing but
silver,
right? Or gold.
So only silver or gold, pure silver or gold is allowed for
women, metal rings, or any other artificial rings will not be
permissible. Even platinum rings are not permissible. So if you've
gotten a platinum ring from your husband, then give it back nicely
and say appreciated. But can you please get me a gold one?
Right, or with a nice diamond because I'm not gonna be able to
put this one on anymore. The reason I mentioned is that I did
get an email to this effect when I did mention this somewhere else.
So it's a question that people have, because platinum is worth
more than gold. Now white gold, yellow gold, all of that is just
gold is just colored differently. As long as it's gold, white gold
is still gold. Sometimes the Imam takes time in deciding a story to
recite, does he have to make sense of this hour?
If he doesn't read anything, if any person doesn't read anything
for three Subhanallah duration, then he would have to do the
recycle. However, when thinking if you're in that dilemma, we don't
know what to read. Next, you start reading if you do a vicar in your
with your tongue like Subhanallah or something like that, then it's
fine. It's okay.
Is it permissible to leave the no Subhanak Allahumma? Well, I mean,
when you say is it permissible? It's a sunnah to do. It's a must
to have sunnah to do. So if you didn't do it, your Salat would be
valid. But it's a bad habit to leave it because it's established
that you do it. It gets you into the prayer, you start with the
praise of Allah subhanaw taala. So if you're in a real hurry one day
and you lift it, it's understandable.
So should the sutras in the first record be longer than the series
in the second third record? Fourth record? Yes, there's a hadith to
that effect. That generally in the fourth prayers, the first records
should be longer than the second records. Generally speaking, yes.
Is there a basis for connecting the chin to the chest during the
Tasleem? I don't think so. I haven't come across anything. But
I say well, Allah, who are them? I've never seen it done. I've
never seen it related.
If you in a salad, and someone walks in front of your prayer, is
it still valid? Yeah, absolutely. Your prayer is not effected. Your
prayer is not affected by somebody walking in front of you. However,
if you can, you should stop them. How would you stop them?
In the Hadith, he mentions that you should push them, literally
speaking, that's what he mentioned. But if you try to do
that, you're gonna cause a fight. There are people who actually do
this literally, you know, then
and don't do that because that's harmful, and sometimes the person
doesn't know. So what you can do as you put your handouts, or in
another way, you just read loudly to indicate to them that you're
praying you're there because sometimes people don't know.
And best thing is after a salad, I'm gonna
Explain to them if you think it's a new person that doesn't really
know what he's doing.
In Joomla, you have a nosebleed. What do you do, if you are in the
middle,
however you break your will do, let's just say you passed when you
broke you will do, they generally end, they generally encourage that
you hold your nose. So if you've got a nosebleed, you definitely
hold your nose. But even if you broke your window, otherwise, hold
your nose and walk in front of them and get out somehow,
it's permissible to walk in front of people to
fill a gap in the front stuff. Because those who have not filled
the gap have dropped their respect in their honor, and their
position, so you can walk in front of them. But when you have to
leave, to stand there and carry on prayer is haram. It's wrong. So
that's why you go in front, and you leave in the closest possible
spacing that you find. But you hold your nose like that. So
people know people think it's a nosebleed and not something else
that you broke your salary.
So that's what that's what it says.
Having said that,
excessive let's talk about movements.
Let's just say somebody broke this a lot in the front of
or it was starting. And somebody didn't fill in that one space in
front. What should you do with that, but you've got options, the
person next door can move up, and you're supposed to move towards
the middle. So if you're on the right hand side of the email, you
move this way, if you're on the left hand side, you move this way.
The other option to make it easy. And rather than have the whole
line move one by one, the person at the back is allowed to move
there. Now understand how this, this is done, you can take up to
two steps.
If you take three or more steps, your salad could break. So what
you do is you go you kind of slide one step, if you're if you're in
this row, and there's a space in this row, you kind of go halfway
and stand there, then you just to make it even safer, because once
you stop, then your movement has stopped. Then you take another
step and you enter into that into that place. And a person behind
you can do the same thing. Preferably keep it as minimal as
possible. But you could take two steps, but generally you don't
want to take more than
one line, because they might be considered excessive. So you want
to be as minimal as possible, but it's allowed to move like that
slowly.
How would you pray the catch up? Salaat Why do some Imams included
to our when praying Salat al with them? Now insalata Witter there's
different ways of praying it's in the Hanafi school. There's
evidence to show that the Witter the Quileute was done before the
salaat. Sorry, before the Roku,
but the chef is they do it after the Roku. And they raise their
hands and they do the keynote loudly. But well, if you're
praying alone, you do it silently. So it's just about before or
after,
in Fajr is the same thing. So you've got both of these
narrations that show before or after? And it just depends on
whichever one you follow. Right? Is it okay to mix and match mud
hubs in different muscle?
It's not permissible to do that, unless there's an absolute need to
do that. Right. And there's two opinions among the element about
this. Some say that it's okay to do it, even for individuals for
individual issues. But others say that you can only do it for
communal reasons where the other man will get together and say,
look, the Hanafis can't follow this particular opinion this
because it's too difficult. We need to take from another mother,
like, for example, in the Hanafi. School, it was the famous opinion
is that if a woman's husband disappeared, like without any
sign, you don't know if he's dead or alive. If you know that that's
a different story. Right? Then you become a widow. But if you don't
know, like, you know, in an Israeli prison, for example, you
don't know whether they're alive or not, or anywhere like that.
They just disappear. What should you do? What becomes so in the
form of hubs is different opinions in the Hanafi. School?
It was that you had to wait until all of his contemporaries pass
away.
Which means 7080 years, right? What's the point of marriage after
that? Right? So you have to wait, then you do your ADA, your waiting
period, then you can remarry. And by that time, you might be dead as
well, you know, so it was a difficult one. And these issues
had were happening. So the scholars of India they got
together. And the Maulana Hakimullah Manasa, returned me and
they wrote to different medical scholars around the world. And the
Maliki school has the very lenient opinion. You wait for four years,
because four years is a sufficient time for
the husband to come back with some some knowledge or otherwise you
just have to assume he's dead. So you wait for four years, then if
there's no sign, you do your ADA then
The call the will will distribute your marriage. And then you can
get married again.
Then obviously, if you just show up, then what happens. So there's
a discussion there as well. But don't worry about it unless it's
happened to you. Because we're, we're talking about solid right
now. So in that case, they've had to give a fatwa on the Maliki
school. And the reason why it's a problem to mix and match is
because you are taking
different methods of interference and HD heard. And you're mixing
and matching in this in the in the results of those interferences.
Now, that may sound a bit complicated, but what I'm trying
to say is that if Imam Shafi based on the methodology,
the principles and the Maxim's that he developed on how to look
at these different Hadith, he reached the conclusion that if a
man touches his wife, his widow will break, he also reached the
conclusion that if a man if somebody bleeds, the will do will
not with the widow will break, so it will not break the Hafeez.
Using their methodology, and they're Maxim's they reach
opposite conclusions in both of them. If you touch your wife, you
will do does not break just by mere touching, when she touches
you, because there was a lot of Salon, he used to kiss, shatter
the alarm and go go for Salah didn't refresh his will do.
And if you bleed, though, it does break your window. So it's
opposite on both sides. Now, if you say I like this one, and I
like this one. So wife touching, no problem doesn't break your
window, I'll take the 100 views on that one. And I'll take the
sharpies on this one, then what you're doing is you're taking the
results of two different methodologies. And that's not
fair. Is it? That's cheating? Isn't it? Yes, cheating, because
this methodology, if you were to use it here, which you used here,
it would come up with a different solution here. So technically
speaking, it's bad, spiritually speaking, could be very bad as
well, because then you just start taking what you think is easy, and
so on. Now, let me say another thing. You know, those people who
condemned the four schools and say that you shouldn't follow the four
schools, you should actually
look at the Quran and Sunnah directly, not telling me honestly
speaking, how many of such people actually look at Quran sunnah
directly and derive their Messiah?
How many, very few, just a few of the scholars do it, the common
person that follow them, don't do it. So what do they do? They
follow somebody, whether they follow a ship with a mean, whether
they follow shekel Bernie, whether they should follow shake up bars,
whether they follow, you know, Medina University, some scholars
there, whatever,
literally, I mean, if you look at this, in reality, what they're
doing is they're just following a fifth madhhab.
Because that's what it is. Yet, they're not deciding it for
themselves. They're following someone. So why do you want me to
leave Abu Hanifa or Shafi or Merrick for a scholar of today, as
great as he may be? These people are closer to time of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam, they lived in a time and scholarship
with us at its peak, and it stood the test of time. Why do you want
me to give that up and follow somebody now who's who may still
be alive or he may have just recently passed away? Why should I
do that? Another thing is
if I today give up madhhab and I say
I'm going to follow Quran sunnah directly. So I get all my database
out and all the Hadith and everything. And I come up with a
conclusion that in this issue, this is the fatwa that I have
reached. If that fatwa, or that ruling goes against what their so
called Imams have said, they still will reject what I'm doing. If my
result if my research takes me to a different conclusion to them,
even though I say I'm following Quran and Sunnah, they will still
reject what I say.
Because it's not about following Quran and Sunnah directly, it's
about following it through their eyes. Were saying we're doing the
same thing. But through the eyes of these great individuals, these
great scholars who have stood the test of time. So really, it's all
about a fifth method.
Right, and
I'll give you a test
mentioned to me
for any letter, give me give me the names of five
scholars, famous scholars that most of us will have heard of,
don't give me obscure names give us five famous scholars from more
than 100 more than 100 200 years ago, right. And from after the
Bukhari and Muslim and after those callers and after the emails,
right, so go on, throw me five names.
Sorry.
Imam Novi Okay, let's let's put that down in Novi. Right.
Sorry
Ibaka see
if Mohajer right the last Kalani.
Somebody from up there. Sorry.
Ignore Tamia.
I went to one place. And the only two names they could come up was
was Edna Tamia and they just could not come up with another scallop.
They could only come up with Alberni and ignore Damien, which
were recent last 100 years, you know, last 20 years.
Imam Ghazali Jazak Allah here, that's the great one.
Right, so we've got no worry. Who's around sixth seventh century
Ibaka Thea, who's a student of urban Potamia. You got him? No.
Hydroflask Kalani seventh century, great Shafi scholar ignore Tamia
who's was a humbly scholar. His father was a humbly scholar, his
grandfather was a humbling scholar, mage duty Nibbler Tamia,
they three got together and wrote a book on humbly console. And the
man was early died in 505. So he's, he's the reviver of the
sixth century.
If you look at every one of these now, these are scholars that most
of us have heard about.
Now, what was their problem? They all follow the mother.
Right, one month, excepted no Tamia, who had many differences of
opinion with his humbly mother, but he was a humbling. So you have
no way. He was a Shafi iblue Cathedral. Shafi though he was a
student of even Taymiyah. He's actually buried right next to him.
And he's buried in the University of Damascus grounds in Damascus,
right next to his teacher, and it's kind of obscure Greg, nobody,
not many people know about it. Even 100 as Kalani, he is
a Shafi scholar if no Tamia is a humbly scholar, yes, he had many
differences, just like even though hydro actually had some
differences with the Shafi school as well. But that's fine. At that
level. You can have your own HDL, but they didn't give up the school
and say we don't follow a method. And Imam Ghazali was a Shafi
primarily he had differences of opinion as well, as for example,
in this video today, he says put your hands up to here like the
Hanafi stew, right, even though the Shafi is actually saved down
here, so he has his own peculiarities. But that's what you
see, you can bring me the name of any of the great scholars like
that. Right that are agreed upon scholars, you will find that they
were following up. Right. Okay, one last point. Did we have any
more questions? Right, one last point. The last point is,
I want us to take away something from here. Right? Which one of you
is a Sahiba 13th.
What that means is which one of you has less than five prayers or
none, to make up where they've got all of their prayers sorted since
they've become mature, they've never missed the prayer. Or if
they've missed the prayer, which many of us may have, they've made
it up again, and they've got less than five prayers in their
balance. That's a big deal, not to have any color press. So what I
want us to take away for the rest of us is that I want us to make an
estimate
of how many prayers we may have missed since we become mature age
of 12 1314. Whenever we can mature, if you don't know when you
physically became mature, then the eight by ages 14 years and seven
months, right, but most likely, most will become mature before
that. So we want us to estimate that I have missed this many
prayers, this many prayers, this many prayers, right. And we want
to start making them up.
And the reason is,
it's an agreed upon opinion among the four schools of thought that
Miss press, even if Miss by accident need to be made up.
Forget accident, if they even if they missed on purpose need to be
made up. The reason I say this is because there is an opinion
floating around nowadays, that if you've missed them on purpose, you
can't make them up. The only thing you can do is Toba, because it's
such a heinous crime, that you can't make them up and it's not
going to do anything. You need to
you need to just make Toba. That opinion is based on IGNOU hasm
Other Hades opinion, even though hasn't a VA he was a literary
scholar. He wasn't his mouth did not run he was not agreed. You
know people didn't agree with his opinion as much because he said
things like he took all the Hadith literally. So for example is one
narration, which says La Taboola Nephi filma rocket, do not urinate
in Stillwater. Now what does that mean? Can you defecate in
Stillwater then?
If you're told don't urinate in here does that mean you can go and
defecate in there? Right? Clearly if you can't urinate, you can't
defecate because he's gonna pollute it more conclusively. He
said. You can't urinate but you can defecate because that's what
the prophecy was an absolute literalism. Right just
Medical understanding it's so it's his opinion based on some
narration that he's come up with that opinion. And there's people
today who have taken that opinion. And that is where the problem lies
because the format helps. Pretty much everybody else you want it to
be another's, they've made it very clear. For example, Imam No, he
says, I'll just read this out to you. He says there is a HMR a
consensus of the scholars whose opinion counts, right. So now you
know, if there's anybody that's heretic, we're not going to worry
about them, that whoever leaves the prayer intentionally must
still make it up above Muhammad Ali ignore hasm differed with them
on this saying that such an individual cannot ever make them
up, and it is not at all valid to make them up. Rather, he said one
must do good deeds and voluntary prayer in order that one scale be
heavy on the day of judgment, and one must speak, seek Allah's
forgiveness and repent. This position of his along with being
in opposition to scholarly Ishmael and consensus is invalid even in
terms of its proof. And he goes on to discuss the proofs that
the Imam Louis refers here to the Hadith later but understudy Allah
one that whoever forgets a prayer must perform it when they remember
it as related by Bukhari and Muslim in Malawi says this hadith
contains evidence that the obligatory prayer which has been
missed must be made up because the person was just that it was
missed, regardless of how it was missed to general narration.
Regardless if we're left it due to a valid excuse, such as sleep of
forgetfulness, or due to no valid excuse.
The hadith mentions only the excuse of forgetfulness due to it
being set after the occurrence of a specific event, but it is to be
applied generally, it is necessary for the one who has a valid excuse
to make up the prayer. It is even more so required for the one who
has no valid excuse. Therefore, the hadith is informing us of this
by means of using the lesser thing to alert of the greater thing.
And Sheikh no hurry Salman he says that the words of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam that a debt to Allah has has better right to be
fulfilled. So this is a debt to Allah, you should fulfill it. A
Hadith related by Bukhari and Muslim and
to
Imam Kirby says the same thing he says the jurist of the four
schools of thought are agreed that it is obligatory to make up the
missed obligatory prayers, regardless of whether one left
them due to a valid reason, such as sleep of forgetfulness, or out
of negligence and laziness.
The thing here is this, if you look at it, practically speaking,
there were clearly people who it was possible that they missed
their Salaat by mistake. By sleeping, even the professor
Lawson did that. Once they were coming back from a journey. They
made camp somewhere. They were very tired, but Mr. Lawson told me
a lot of the Alon, you stay awake and wake us up for Fajr
poblado the hola Juan he fell asleep as well. And he says what
woke them up was the Sun, which means that they missed Fudger all
of them. They made a Kadar prayer of the Mercado Jama of the press.
So that means they missed it. Then during the Battle of the Trench or
the trench that there was some solid Miss then and they made the
jump up afterwards.
Now if the mafia as I mentioned earlier, were also coming to the
masjid to pray but allow it lounging around the back. Would
you expect anybody to miss a prayer on purpose? Like as a hobby
to miss prayer purpose or the profits? I was gonna make a Mr.
Prayer on purpose. So where are you going to get evidence that
they're going to miss a prayer on purpose? It's just unthinkable.
You know, nowadays, do you know which place in the world has like
a over 90% rate of attendance of congregational prayer in the
masjid for the men.
The only place that I've heard about is the south of Thailand.
This is a guy from there, he actually showed me statistics that
and there was the bliss. So they all go to the shop was 30 as well.
Right? So and the 100% occupancy rate in salad.
Right? That's quite amazing. Well, now I've never seen it myself, I
don't know. So don't take me to task for it. But
when you can't see the possibility of a Sahabi missing a prayer on
purpose. It is very difficult. You know, there's one about Zina,
there's all of that, but prayer just seems very difficult, right?
So you're not going to find evidence for that. And when the
four schools have agreed, all the alumni have agreed, except this
literary scholar, why do you want to go with that opinion? You make
up that and so going back to our situation, let us calculate how
many prayers we've got to make up and let's start making them up. So
this is make a vow now that this is what we're going to do. And
there's ways that you could do this, right? So let's just say
that you've got a 25 years, you know, $10, maybe 15 officers, then
just start calculating and your intention should be that Oh ALLAH
I'm making my first Miss Fisher I
I'm making I'm making my first I'm making up for my first Mrs. Doll.
So every time you make that intention, the next one will
become the first one the first one, right? You can either make a
Fajr with every Fudger you make and it's also permissible to make
cooperates after fajr prayer and after after prayer as well. So
although it's my crew to make sooner during that nuthall During
that time, it's okay to call up but don't do it in the masjid as
people grab you in the Hanafi mosque and say, Well, will you
come pray right now and you're telling me his cover? And you
shouldn't be telling people you've missed prayer?
Right because you shouldn't be revealing your sins
that's why Imam ignore Aberdeen he writes that if you have to make up
your winter prayer, because you have to make up your winter
prayer, then you know in the third Ricard you do Allahu Akbar for the
winter for the Quaaludes. And if you're doing Casa of winter, don't
raise your hands just say Allahu Akbar, Allah who may notice that
you're gonna suffer, you don't have to raise your hand because
it's similar to raise your hand and to tell people that you're
doing a cover of your winter, because you got to wonder why
you're raising hands, you become Sheffy Yo, what's going on? Right?
So that's why you shouldn't raise your hands. So either you make one
cut or pray with every cut or prayer, or another way to do it,
is you calculate all your features, okay, I've got 20
features, I'm just going to do Fajr marathon, you know, one after
the other one after the other. I'm going to, I'm going to do five
features a day, I'm going to finish it then I'm going to do the
hard that I'm gonna do also, believe me, it's possible.
Right? It's possible. Now some of you might be thinking I've got
five years of prayer
10 years of prayer, and believe me, there have been people like
that 10 years of prayer. Don't be daunted by it. Don't be Don't
Don't be set back by that fact started. If we're to die in
between, then at least we can say to Allah subhanaw taala look, I
tried I started my intention should count. You've got some
argument about it. Right. And any new prayer Do not miss it. Make it
up straightaway make that keep that balance clear. And start
working on the backwards. Now you can't miss a sentimental Mark
Santa Monica for that. But you can miss your knuffel you can replace
your knuffel for that. And you can miss your as soon as their marcada
the non emphasize sooner like the photocards before answer instead
of those do a Assar cada if you've got one Tahajjud prayer do cover
at that time inshallah you'll be rewarded for the hedger because
you're waking up specially but do cover at that time. Likewise, a
shrub time, do cover at that time get that over and done with the
Hanafi school, you can still do nothing and Sunnah. If you want to
send a marker that you have to do, just to mention the Shafi school
to you with the Shafi school. If you gotta cover prayer, you're not
allowed to do a sunnah pray You better do your cover first. Right?
But that's the show. That's a Sheffy opinion. So may Allah give
us the Tofik to to reckon with our Cuddles, how many we've got
regardless of how many there are. And may Allah give us the Tofik to
start doing them and allow us to complete them before we pass away
and Forgive our mistakes. Forgive our and one final question.
Somebody asked me orally, I told him to write it down. I don't
think he sent it is that he said it's from a Shafee background,
from where he originally comes Sri Lanka, but he's here and most of
the access he's had is to Hanafi scholars. So can you just go by
Harvey scholars? So yes, you can. If you're 100 feet and you're in
an area where you've just got access to shuffle ease, or
Maliki's or Humphries go with whatever you've got access to.
Nowadays, I guess, with the internet and books, and you have
access to everything anyway. Right? So it's not as much of a
problem as it is, but you can't keep changing every week. You can
change once in a while.
When we say internet, you can't just trust Google. You know, just
like that you obviously have to find reliable so what I would
suggest is that you ask a scholar that you trust to recommend
certain resources. Best bet is to actually get in contact with a
scholar that you trust and keep it keep it like that. Now for more
solid, like if you want to learn how the thick of solid we weren't
able to cover everything. We did cover a lot beyond the evidences.
But if you go to zamzam academy.com We've actually got the
whole of the book of solid in detail as audio, the book of
Tahara as well and others as well. So you can just listen to that. If
you have any questions you can email
