Alright, so the final session we're going to summarize some of the other congregational prayers others more known to you than, than others like the fear prayer, which you probably will never get to do. But others which are obviously you're very eager to do like the Eid prayer, happy days, when it comes round and everybody gets excited for it.
And the APRA, of course, to atrial flutter, and each other, and the dates, or the first of Chawan and the 10th of the hedger for other the Adel feta, the word itself or eight means to come around and it's our celebration because it keeps returning every single year. I will fit her because it is the breaking of the fast of after the month of fasting and alcohol because of the adhere, which is the sacrifice which is offered in the code here as a prayer, the ruling on this two unit Juma esque type prayer, was it the whole actual event is very jamaa ask in that it is two units prayed out loud, there is a hotbar but there are some important differences in terms of the actual ruling on
it, unlike Joomla, which is an absolute obligation. And I didn't mention by the way, on Joomla that is an obligation upon the males only again male residents, so it's not obligatory upon females is not obligatory upon travelers, it's not obligatory, of course upon children. Whereas the APRA the a number of scholars only considered it to be a pseudonym or aka the Hanafi school considered to be a wajib and a number of scholars considered it to be a fourth Keifa which seems to be the correct position we should take it at least as seriously as an obligation although frankly, this is about the only prayer that I couldn't care less having to give a ruling for right is the one that I could
call it non recommended sunnah and everyone will treat it like any the for the Wolfers so don't need to motivate people for this one. All right, so it's good fortify I'm happy to keep with everyone comes out for the Ebro Masha Allah. So this two unit prayer when is it offered unlike the Juma prayer, it is offered in the Doha time, and actually,
quite a few prayers are offered into the Doha time. It's an open period that lends itself nicely to this kind of event gathering temperature wise outside as well. It's not something which is prayed in a masjid. The Sunnah is to pray, the Eat Pray outside in Muslim countries, we all know about the eager the open land that people occupy his reason for that as well because the event is trying to be as inclusive as possible and we spoke about ministration and the issues that it brings with the masjid and the scholars not liking that either. And the prophets lie Selim himself would encourage those that are menstruating and those that are in the in a situation where they normally wouldn't go
to the masjid to also attend and also those that might not even have enough clothes and and you know, the people were encouraged to lend and to borrow to other men and women you know closer they can also attend a big big big atmosphere big party, big party atmosphere.
The prayer itself has no other and has no abama has no sunnah has no units before it after it's a straightforward Street in the Imam gathers a lot of people says You guys ready and then knocks out the prayer. That's the big difference with the Juma that the prayers first and the chutzpah is afterwards. The exception to this would be of course if in a rainy kind of season or situation, it is being offered insight. If it's being offered inside the Masjid. Then some scholars then said you should offer the hatred masjid, although I will, I will add a number of scholars also advised that this be kind of
what's the word not avoided, but because people will get become confused, because you're not meant to have sooner but then if you keep walking in and then praying sooner, how are they going to differentiate between you praying to hit your machine for the masjid while you know that it's not for the aid but then they're all stand up and start praying? So there's an argument there as well that either you educate people actively, or you know, you you refrain from praying that to hear to the masjid and I think that that's something which is has got good basis, the tech reroutes will aid Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allah ilaha illa Allahu Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Allah Hill Hamed is a
very emphasized sunnah and allowed and a proud sunnah of all people, men and women to be done from the beginning of the day depending upon of course, the the form of the aid and and those are of course details, which are not of this level. But in any case, those that are to be repeated and they are to continue until the Imam takes the member. So that's like the final acts. The final act is you and your tech, we're not coming to an end and the Imam turning around and addressing the people and the Imam would tell the people
Right, we're about to pray first. Okay, we do the hotbar afterwards. And I want you to focus and maybe give a message or two and anything that needs to be said.
The,
the Imam might want to also explain the prayer as well, because the prayer itself has a few changes to a normal to raka units. I told you there's no Zan or Karma. It's just a two unit loud prayer like Juma. But when it starts off, it has extra tech beers. Now, we've all experienced that we've all seen it, the evidence basis for it maybe we're not aware of, but there are a number of a hadith that the scholars took. And they differ over Imam Malik, for example, his position is that
and you know that in both units is going to be extra two years. What does it mean? Like the salah to janazah Salah to eat very, very similar in that the Imam after starting the prayer will just suddenly go Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar certain number of times and then continue right in each unit, but the number of tech beers, the location of these tech beers, the hand positions on these tech beers, all of these are points of difference, where the differences come from, mostly based upon Hadith of the process alum and the companions. So we have headed from Aisha Radi Allahu anha, in which she said that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam in the first raka will do seven Takbeer.
And then in the second Racker, five tech, we're including the tech Vir, of the in addition to the tech we are of the rakura. So if you think about that, you know immediately in the second that is going to be five extra tech periods is very clear. However, she didn't clarify whether in the first part when she said seven, that she means seven, including the tech version of RAM, or seven in addition to tech virtual RAM. So that's one reason for a difference of opinion. The Molokhia they took it as that first tech beer is taken from the seventh. So their opinion is that it's six and five. So the humble is and a number of scholars they said seven and five, the Molokhia said six and
five, that matter is flexible. This is an in addition to the normal tech videos that you would make the tech guru interCall, particularly from et cetera. The Hanafi is they have their own opinion. Again, based upon some narrations and Hadith, some which are authentic enough, others maybe not authentic, in either case, enough to establish their position. This is a three and three approach. The three extra tech rewrites in the first rocket according to the majority of their evidences should happen before the Fatiha
from a you know, basic apna understanding we understand that that is after Subhanak Allahumma, of course, is not after Subhanak Allahumma is at the beginning of the prayer Father to her being the initiation of the prayer. So before resuscitation, there are three techniques. And then in the second raka these three tech fields are in a deadly position the worst position that human mankind can ever have put any two fields it is before you go for record man's have been called out by that many a time, many a time. So so in a Hanafy way, this is how the Hanafi Salah would go the Imam will tell everybody Imam would actually be very nice turn around, even tell them what Nia they have to
make, and actually read it out for them. And then make sure that they will know exactly what he's saying. Then he goes Allahu Akbar, right? When he goes Allahu Akbar everyone is not getting a chance to say Subhana Allah homophobia, Hamdi, Cotabato. Chrismukkah All right, and then the Imam will go, Allahu Akbar, and everybody will then repeat Allahu Akbar behind, okay, and then Allahu Akbar, and then everyone will do it silently. Of course, not out loud to people who do it out loud. They're making a mistake in the first place. Nobody ever has had it narrated that they should be saying out loud. And then Allahu Akbar three extra tech peers, then the fighter has thoughts, then he will
recite, so this will be called Allah, whatever he recites, then Allah Hogberg what he won't do that, obviously, this is the this is a, this is the Hanafi approach. Right? Then we go into the court, straight back up says that says that says don't come straight back up, stand back up straight into Fatiha straight into surah. And then that's when you get done because he goes Allahu Akbar, but we will go down and he goes like that, right? Okay, so there's three more and then Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. And the free press finish, that's the Hanafy method. According to the and my position, by the way, is six and five, okay, my class position is six and five, the hadith of seven and five for my
understanding, and a number of the scholars is that it is incorporating the taxpayer to a haram by death. By that definition, then, this is how the prayer would go. person starts off with Allahu Akbar. And then the Imam will will start out with Blackstone Rajib Subhan Allah handshake, and it will either he wants to start the prayer with and then before he enters into the fountainhead itself, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.
oh six tech Virat, then recite Fatiha recite Surah into CO backup going to search the back end search the stand back up Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar. Now five more as per the Hadith, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar was introduced Mandarin
was being between 100 and 100 hours, I mean, and then then go to * finish the prayer of go into everything done. So the three imams are with the Integra at the beginning. And they only differ in seven and six at the first recarpet. They agreed on the five. And Abu Hanifa is three and three within the first unit at the front, and then the second unit just before. All right, so that's that issue of that. Now, let's talk about the tech beers themselves. Should for example, it'd be taken from a loose position or straight from where your hands are, both of the opinions. They agree that it should be from this position, even though some scholars said that the basic position is to be
hands at the side, and then you lift up from there. And that you should return back to it all goes back to why should hands go back to a base position. Everybody agrees? Yes. But they said what is the base position? What is the default position? When you're standing? Is it has biocides or is it hands here? This seems to have a good base. And this also has an acceptable base, both young and acceptable position. But in either case, hands will go back, hands will go back or hands will go to the side, hands will then go to the side after every tech beer. All right. The next is
are the hands raised. According those who have raised their hands, they raise their hands according to those that don't, they won't raise their hands as and there are some differences even in the Hanafi school with that as well. The some of them said this is actually one of the including Janaza one of the only times that we will accept the raising of the hands but again, that's a discussion beyond the scope of this class.
Then the speed
it is given clear. There is a few seconds in between and these few seconds the scholars have been invited to make some thicker ionic themselves to panela stuff a lot of stuff because we said there's never any silence in the prior you just hanging around in between. That is what you would do. Okay, everybody. So that is the general
structure of the prayer in terms of the content of the prayer Subhan Allah because Allah and Hal attack a hadith of Russia, or cough and Tamar, very, very similar to what has been narrated with respect to Juma opera. What happens if the Imam forget some or misses some of the tech fields? Nothing, because this is not an obligation or an obligatory aspect of the prayer. It's an additional sunnah. What about a person who comes late and misses, you know, some of the tech periods and he arrives he only had the first rocker and he's already had four or five go by scholars differed over this, but I said you just do whatever you catch with the Imam and carry on because it's a sunnah.
Anyway,
the other interesting difference between this and Juma is that when the Imam finishes the prayer, he turned around and he actually the prophesy Selim turned around and said that whoever wants to stay can stay where he wants to go can go, which indicates immediately that the heartbeat is not an obligation. Then he would remind the people say something which is relevant to sittings, just like the two two hotbeds with the sitting in between, just like Joomla. And then the other interesting thing is that the proximal Isilon would after the hotbar would finish he would then give a separate address to the women, he would speak to them separately, he would gather them together, and he would
address the issues that they might have an opportunity because all of them are out and he's available. And so that is a an opportunity for them.
You often you might hear the Imam use the tech V rod in the chutzpah he in the hotel repeat Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allah Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah but Allah but Allah, Allah, um, this has no basis. This has no basis, the tech period is not something and is part of a worship point. For the prayer itself, or the hood by itself. It is part of the day not linked to the prayer, or the chutzpah, couple of scenarios we have cancel out to the eid be done in different places in the town at the same time, in principle, of course not. The whole thing is that it is meant to be one big gathering congregation that everybody attends. That's why we do it outside of the mosque. And that's
why all these initiatives that you see in the cities, and you know, to gather the people there great. Politics, of course, ensures that doesn't happen. People don't like to pray behind other people. People want to collect the money that people are giving very generous, obviously donations. People have contracts with charities, it gets ugly now is that again Yeah, and even worse, and then they want to be able to have access to their more middle class kind of audience. There's a messy stuff out there. Guys, it really is. In any case, all of that is out there. And
it stops unfortunately, the single big gatherings and in
fairness, we don't always have the legal permission. Also the weather does dictates a lot of that. And so unfortunately, we have to have multiple congregations, multiple times of prayers, even though there should only be one in mosques where it shouldn't be. All of this is permissible because of the need. But in principle, no, none of this should be done in principle. Okay. I've covered the rest of the scenarios in terms of women of legal excuse me, administration, they should attend the gathering. They don't pray, of course.
And the other thing is, what about if you missed the prep? Okay, what if you missed the Eat, Pray, what should happen other than obviously, jump, you know, into the river and whatever, because that's probably what people do. They don't jump into the river. It is only a recommended act to repeat in the Hanafi. School is not something which is done afterwards. But a number of the scholars said that the prayer is important enough that you should do it again, yourself. Some scholars even said that it can only be done in the Doha time, so you've got to do it the next day and Doha time? I mean, I'm not gonna lie. This is the advantage of having either in a couple of disparate days, right? You miss
it. You miss it one day, you can get a cheeky opportunity the next day, especially if you follow the opinion that it can only be restricted to the Doha time, which is an opinion, which is an angle. All right. And finally, is a traveler obligated to pray stuff and eat if he's not obligated to pray? Why on earth would he be obligated to pray Salat will eat so keep that in mind?
