In this program, in this series of halaqat,
the voluntary or the power of voluntary prayers
in Islam.
And tonight we'll be talking inshallah about salat
al-tasbih, or sometimes it's called salat al
-tasbih, and also sunnat al-zawal.
I'm sure that many of you are not
familiar with it, but we'll talk about it
and see if it is sunnah or not,
or what's the disagreement about it.
So there are highly confirmed sunnah, highly stressed,
and they are confirmed through authentic ahadith.
And there are other types of sunnah, they
are confirmed but not highly stressed.
You can call it a regular sunnah.
Confirmed through authentic ahadith, but not highly stressed.
That means if you miss them, it's not
a big deal.
So we're going to review all the sunnah
that we talked about during this series.
But 5 halaqat, right?
5 series, 5 sessions, from November 1st till
now.
This is the 5th halaqat.
Presentation, what is highly recommended, what is regular
sunnah, and what is controversial.
Right?
Bi-idhnillahi ta'ala.
So talking about salat al-tasbih, or as
I said, some people call it salat al
-tasbih, the Muslim scholars have 2 different opinions
about it.
2 different opinions about it.
The first group of scholars, they believe that
this prayer was prescribed and the hadith should
be accepted, maqbool.
Why they said maqbool?
They said we know that the chains of
narration, chains of transmission are weak, all of
them are weak.
But if you put them together, they empower
each other.
It's a very technical matter that the ulama
of hadith talk about it.
But it doesn't work all the time.
Because if they are very weak or fabricated,
even if you put them together, they don't
empower each other.
Right?
But if the weakness is light, then yes.
If the weakness is light, then you can,
if you put them together, you have different
chains of narration, then maybe they empower each
other.
That's the main disagreement of the ulama about
salat al-tasbih.
And also, it is a weird prayer.
It is not usual.
The format of the prayer is broken in
this prayer.
And we'll talk about it, I'll tell you
about the hadith about it.
So, the second group of scholars, these are
their arguments.
This salat should not be approved, it shouldn't
be accepted, because the hadith are either fabricated
or very weak.
Even if you put them together, they don't
empower each other.
Okay, that's the argument of second group of
scholars.
But what is salat al-tasbih?
Listen to it.
This is the hadith of Abdullah ibn Abbas,
r.a. Rawa Abu Dawud wa Tirmidhi.
So, the hadith is found in Sunan Abu
Dawud, in Sunan Tirmidhi, but not everything in
Sunan Tirmidhi is authentic, and not everything in
Sunan Abu Dawud is authentic.
A hadith could be found in these sources,
but still weak or very weak.
Right?
It cannot be accepted.
And these scholars did not do it on
purpose.
Scholars, when they come to salat al-tasbih,
they say, this is what we have in
salat al-tasbih.
So, they include it in the book, but
they mention they have comments, like Imam Tirmidhi
will make a comment.
Imam Tirmidhi will say this hadith is gharib,
is weak, cannot be sahih.
So, they have their own comments.
But they did not follow the methodology of
Imam Bukhari.
Imam Bukhari has a different methodology.
Imam Bukhari, when it comes to his book,
the sahih, he said that will include only
the authentic hadith.
Imam Muslim did the same thing.
But Imam Bukhari himself, he authored other books,
for example, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad.
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad is another book that
was authored by Imam Bukhari.
And he authored other books, but in the
other books he did not follow the same
methodology.
He did not.
He collected many ahadith that are not very
strong.
They are very weak.
And maybe himself was aware that they are
weak, but he said these are the only
ahadith related to this subject.
But when it comes to his book Al
-Sahih, he said, no, in this book I
will include only authentic ahadith.
Al-Jami' Al-Sahih.
And it's a famous book.
All Muslims use it worldwide.
Allah SWT has granted him acceptance when it
comes to this book.
And it is the best book of hadith.
The hadith of Sahih.
The book is called Sahih Al-Bukhari.
That is called Sahih Al-Bukhari.
So these ulama are not doing this on
purpose, but they said, when it comes to
Salat Tasbeeh, this is what we have.
And they have their own comments about these
ahadith.
So, An-Nur Rasulallah ﷺ قال لعمه العباس
بن عبد المطلب So he came to his
uncle.
This is the story.
Could be fabricated.
Could be weak.
But the chain of narration is very weak.
Allahu alam.
But this is the story.
That is highly controversial between Muslim scholars.
يَا عَبَّاسِ يَا عَمَّاهِ أَلَا أُعْطِيكَ أَلَا أَمْنَحُكَ
أَلَا أَحْبُوكَ أَلَا فَعْلُ بِكَ عَشْرَ خِصَالٍ إِذَا
أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ ذَنْبَكَ أَوَّلَهُ
وَآخِرَهُ قَدِيمَهُ وَحَدِيثَهُ خَطَأَهُ وَعَمْدَهُ صَغِيرَهُ وَكَبِيرَهُ
سِرَّهُ وَعَلَانِيَتَهُ عَشْرَ خِصَالٍ So Rasulullah ﷺ came
to his uncle Al-Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib
We know that two of his uncles accepted
Islam The first one is Habza ibn Abdul
-Muttalib And the second one is Al-Abbas
ibn Abdul-Muttalib At the time when he
was sent as a prophet Four of his
uncles were alive Two of them did not
accept Islam Abu Talib and Abu Lahab But
the other two, Al-Abbas and Hamza Both
of them, Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib Both of
them accepted Islam He used to respect his
uncle Al-Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib He used
to love him and respect him And Al
-Abbas of course lived after the death of
the prophet ﷺ Al-Abbas was alive رضي
الله عنه So he told him, O Abbas
This is what the story was narrated How
the story was narrated O Abbas, O dear
uncle Shall I not give you?
أَلَا أُعْطِيكَ Shall I not offer you?
أَلَا أَمْنَحُكَ It's a beautiful introduction Shall I
not favor you?
أَلَا أَحْبُوكَ Shall I not produce for you
ten things?
I will tell you about, inform you Which
means I will inform you about ten things
If you act upon them Look at the
big, beautiful, very beautiful promise If you act
upon them, Allah will forgive your sins First
and last, old and new And voluntary and
voluntary Small and great What is secret and
what is open What is private and what
is public All sins will be forgiven if
you do this Right?
It's a beautiful statement They said there are
ten things You should pray four rak'ahs
reciting in each one Fatiha al-Kitab and
al-Surah Nothing unusual This is fine, right?
Four rak'ahs together, that's okay There are
some ahadith They're not very strong but But
they say that, they suggest that Rasulullah ﷺ
might have prayed four rak'ahs together So
four rak'ahs you recite in every rak
'ah And al-Surah Alhamdulillah, everything is fine
When you finish the recitation of the first
rak'ah You should recite fifteen times While
standing So after you recite the Surah And
you recite the Fatiha And then you recite
the Surah While standing up We recite these
four phrases of dhikr Four phrases of dhikr
And then you should make ruku' And in
the ruku' you recite the same phrases ten
times Unusual here He didn't mention the tasbih
of ruku' Subhana rabbiyal azeem Right?
Or the other dhikr Forms of dhikr that
we recite in ruku' He told him to
recite these four phrases Of dhikr ten times
In ruku' Subhana rabbiyal azeem Then he told
him You should make You should raise your
head After bowing After ruku' And say them
ten times You just raise your head And
then recite the same four phrases ten times
And then you should make sujood And say
the same phrases Of dhikr ten times In
your sujood In your sujood While prostrating yourself
And then you raise your head From sujood
And you recite these four phrases of dhikr
Ten times And then You go back to
sujood And you recite these four phrases Ten
times And then You should prostrate yourself And
then say ten times And then you should
After you raise your head From the second
sajda Usually in the salah what do we
do?
After we raise our head From the second
sajda We stand up right away This is
what is usual in our salah Here he
told him You recite the same phrases Ten
times before you stand up Before you stand
up ten times This is unusual And then
he told him You should do all of
these things Four rakahs All four rakahs You
recite all these Four phrases of dhikr With
this number of time Fifteen times while standing
up And ten times in each ruku And
sujood and so on and so forth In
every rakah And he said you can observe
it one time Once daily Look at the
choice The freedom of choice It's very wide
here You can observe it once daily Yeah
do it If you can do it He
said do so If not then once weekly
If not then once a month If not
then once a year If not then once
in your lifetime From daily going to once
in your lifetime Very very flexible here The
freedom is not usual Because sharia usually Sharia
in Islam Or something is very beneficial Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala or his messenger Will
give us clear Clear You know Recommendations I
would say Clear You pray four rakahs before
dhuhr Or two rakahs before maghrib If you
wish Or two after maghrib highly recommended Very
clear instructions So you know what to do
Right When something it is very beneficial Right
But here no He is giving you a
choice Like either once daily Once weekly Once
a month Once a year If not then
once in your lifetime So this prayer is
rejected By many Muslim scholars Because of many
reasons I will summarize their reasons here The
first reason They said all chains of transmission
Are weak or very weak That's it So
some of them concluded that The hadith could
be fabricated Some of the ulema Concluded that
the hadith could be fabricated The other scholars
they said We cannot say fabricated But it's
weak or very weak So for this group
of scholars Even if you put all these
chains of transmission together They don't empower each
other The second reason They said the format
of this prayer Is completely changed Reciting four
phrases of dhikr 15 times After completing the
recitation of the Quran Is not usual Is
found only in this prayer Reciting the four
phrases of dhikr in ruku And then after
you raise from ruku During sujud While sitting
between the two sajdahs After you raise your
head This is very weird, unusual You raise
your head from the second sajdah And it
is not found in any other prayer So
the whole format of this salat They said
is completely different And it is not usual
And in their opinion it should be rejected
The third reason They said the last sentence
is weird You know, the freedom The freedom
of choice Is not usual in the area
of ibadah As I said if something is
very beneficial Then Allah SWT will tell us
to do it How to do it And
just that's it Do it everyday if you
wish We are talking about voluntary prayers Like
for example the twelve rakahs The twelve daily
rakahs Clear instructions How to do them Their
timing And that's it If you don't do
them That's your choice But at least if
you want to do them Then the instruction
is to do them on a daily basis
And inshallah you get a new house For
doing them on a daily basis Now the
second group of scholars Who believe that this
salat Could be prescribed as a sunnah prayer
They said As I said Yes the chains
of transmission are weak But they empower each
other And it could be hasan The hadith
could be hasan Hasan meaning sound And therefore
it should be accepted The second argument They
said yes this salat has a different format
This is their argument It's a very good
argument But there is a problem with it
About the format of the salat They are
replying Refuting the argument of the first group
of scholars They said yes the format of
this salat is different But they said think
about the eclipse sunnah prayer Has also a
different format Sunnatul khusuf Salatul khusuf Salatul khusuf
The eclipse sunnah prayer What is different about
it?
The khusuf Salatul khusuf Do you know what
is different about it?
Two ruku' It's better to say two ruku'
In one rakah So in one rakah you
do two ruku' What is usual is to
do one ruku' In one rakah Right?
So salatul khusuf The format from this perspective
is different And yet it is widely accepted
It is confirmed By all the ulama The
sunnah of the khusuf This is their argument
But the problem is The problem is Look
at the ulama how they discuss these things
They said yes we agree with you That
the eclipse prayer Or the eclipse sunnah prayer
Has a different format But it was confirmed
through ahadith That are highly authentic Found in
Bukhari and Muslim When the ahadith are authentic
That's it We accept the message from Rasulallah
We don't argue about it We're not supposed
to argue about it Sunnah of the khusuf
is found in Bukhari and Muslim That's it
Rasulallah said It is confirmed that Rasulallah prayed
The sunnah of khusuf this way But you're
talking about the ahadith We're not sure if
it is authentic And it has a complete
different format This unusual Completely different format Should
not be accepted through ahadith Hadith that is
shaky It's not solid Highly controversial We're not
sure if it is hasan or not All
the chains of narrations Are weak or very
weak And some ulama they said It could
be fabricated So that is their argument Their
response You know to the argument to those
scholars So as a conclusion I'll tell you
about my choice here I follow the opinion
of the first group of Muslim scholars That
this prayer is not confirmed As a sunnah
prayer Salat al tasbih or al tasabih Because
of the situation The conditions of this hadith
But at the same time I would add
something Imam Ahmed rejected this salat He was
asked about it And he rejected this salat
They told him why He said because there
is nothing authentic about it That is his
opinion But Sheikh Islam Rutaimi One classical scholar
He said the other three imams Imam Abu
Hanifa, Imam Shafi'i, Imam Malik They didn't
know about it They didn't talk about it
at all It is not discussed in their
books So now when the four imams Are
not aware of this salat I don't care
about it Because these are great scholars And
they spend their whole life Talking about fiqh
And teaching fiqh And studying fiqh If they
didn't know about it That means it is
very shaky here It is not very solid
So I follow the opinion of those who
said You know that this salat is not
confirmed As a sunnah prayer And I have
never done it There are some other ulama
in town Our imams in town they do
it With their congregation Some of them in
Ramadan I don't have problem with that Why?
Because there is a legal discussion here There
are some other legal opinions There are qualified
scholars Who believe that the hadith could be
hasan So it is a matter of disagreement
Between scholars And I believe it is a
legal disagreement It is not like bid'ah
Bid'ah has no origin There is no
hadith There are no fatawas of muslim scholars
Highly qualified scholars That could be sunnah It
is different than bid'ah Innovation Something new
That has no origin That has no basis
But this one here It is a matter
of disagreement About the status of this hadith
Some ulama they believe No this hadith cannot
be hasan Some other ulama they reach another
conclusion Good for them This is how you
treat this matter If there is another imam
doing it With his congregation And that is
his opinion And he is comfortable with the
other opinion That is fine There is no
problem But if I am in that masjid
I will not do it Because I am
not convinced I mean seeking Allah's forgiveness There
are many ways to seek Allah's forgiveness Right?
So how do you do a prayer That
is weird Unusual And it is not confirmed
Through an authentic hadith And it is a
long prayer It takes time to Maybe to
finish it And it will take you maybe
half an hour Providing that Provided that you
You recite only short surahs If you recite
long surahs And then reciting all these phrases
Dhikr 15 times 10 times 4 rak'ahs
Maybe you need a good half an hour
45 minutes To finish it Anyway So this
is the conclusion about Salat at tasbeeh It
is common I think popular in some communities
Allah knows Back home In my back home
People don't talk about it at all I
know in Saudi Arabia The ulema there They
don't accept it They don't follow the They
don't do it Maybe in some areas of
the Muslim world Some different Some countries Maybe
it is popular People do it I don't
know if they do it at home They
do it in the masjid But I am
talking about Calgary here I know at least
one masjid They do it in Ramadan One
masjid I respect the imam And I respect
his choice As I said But this is
disagreement about this Salat Salat at tasbeeh Or
at tasabeeh The sunnah of zawal The sunnah
prayer of zawal I am sure you are
not familiar with it It is another sunnah
prayer That is controversial The ulema don't have
one opinion about it It is not popular
prayer Many Muslims as I said Are not
familiar with it And those who believe that
It is a confirmed sunnah They believe that
The messenger of Allah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
Is called the sunnah of zawal Because they
believe that He used to pray four rakahs
Immediately after zawal Separate from the other four
rakahs Highly confirmed Highly stressed Four rakahs that
we are supposed to do before dhuhr These
are separate four rakahs So basically if you
do them And you do the other four
The total will be eight before dhuhr prayer
But people are not familiar with this Most
of the people would do either two Following
the hadith of Abdullah ibn Umar Or they
do four We concluded in the past that
It is better to do four To complete
the twelve rakahs Right before dhuhr But this
is another extra four rakahs Right?
It is a sunnah prayer within the shafi
'i madhab Only Within the shafi'i school
of thought And there are some other scholars
Like Imam Ibn Qayyim He is not shafi
'i But that was his conclusion That this
could be a sunnah Prescribed sunnah Imam Ibn
Qayyim Another respected Highly respected Classical scholar Ibn
Qayyim al-Jawziya And within the shafi'i
school of thought This is a prescribed sunnah
Majority of Muslim scholars They believe this is
not a prescribed sunnah What is the root?
What are the roots Of this disagreement?
What is the reason for this disagreement?
There are a hadith For example The hadith
of Abdullah ibn al-Sa'ib May Allah
be pleased with him Sahabi He said that
The Messenger of Allah Used to pray four
rakahs After the sunset Before dhuhr And he
said It is a time when the gates
of heaven open And I like to have
good deeds in it So this hadith is
sahih Abdullah ibn al-Sa'ib May Allah
be pleased with him He said that The
Messenger of Allah Used to pray four rakahs
After the sunset And before dhuhr And he
said He used to say The Messenger of
Allah It is an hour during which the
gates of heaven are opened The Messenger of
Allah used to say this The gates of
heaven are opened And I like that my
good deeds should rise To heaven at that
time So the hadith is sahih It is
found in Termini The ulama they said it
is authentic So what is the problem If
the hadith is authentic?
The interpretation So sometimes the hadith is weak
And the disagreement about the status of the
hadith Here they don't disagree about the status
of the hadith They disagree about the interpretation
of the hadith The majority of Muslim scholars
They said these four rakahs are the same
four rakahs That we are supposed to pray
before dhuhr And they are part of the
twelve Twelve rakahs that we do as a
highly stressed sunnah They are the same four
They are not a separate four Separate set
of four rakahs That is the majority The
opinion of majority of Muslim scholars When we
say majority So we are talking here about
the Hanafi school of thought Maliki school of
thought Hanbali school of thought All these scholars
believe to these three schools With the exception
of Imam al-Shafi'i Or the Shafi
'i school All of them majority They believe
this is not a separate prescribed sunnah Sunnat
al-zawal Have you heard about it before?
Raise your hand if you heard about it
before One, two Ok So this is the
disagreement And I follow here the opinion of
the majority of Muslim scholars Why?
I told you before That Rasulullah salallahu alayhi
wa sallam Used to pray his voluntary prayers
at home At home So his wives were
very familiar with the sunnah that he prayed
at home Especially Aisha radiallahu anhu And she
said he used to pray four rakahs before
dhuhr In my house Four rakahs Four In
my house Before dhuhr To go pray dhuhr
with people He used to come back after
dhuhr to my house and pray two rakahs
Aisha clearly said it Hadith sahih, Sahih Muslim
Right?
This is what she said She was familiar
with his prayer If it was an extra
prayer He would be He would have prayed
like eight At least eight in her house,
right?
So she said four So this is the
opinion of majority of Muslim scholars Said no,
there is no sunnah that is called the
sunnah of zawal It's only There are only
four rakahs Part of the twelve sunnah Or
daily sunnah prayers So basically this is disagreement
As I said I personally Follow the opinion
of majority of Muslim scholars The majority And
I don't believe that there is a separate
sunnah that is called the sunnah of zawal
If someone He said ya shaykh No, I
believe there is a sunnah of zawal And
I follow the shafi'i madhab May Allah
make it easy for you Good for you
That's okay It's a valid disagreement Between scholars
Interpretation They had a disagreement about the interpretation
of this hadith That's fine You want to
follow this opinion?
Alhamdulillah Extra prayers You want to do some
extra prayers?
Good for you Alhamdulillah Beautiful If you have
the time You want to offer eight prayers
before dhuhr Eight rakahs before dhuhr That is
your choice And that is your decision Walhamdulillah
Rabbil alameen Now let's review What we did
in these five sessions Bi idhnillahi ta'ala
The slides are not moving ya shaykh Hamza
So We started I guess this program by
talking about the twelve rakahs The twelve rakahs
I think it's here And we said twelve
versus ten rakahs If you remember We go
with the twelve Why?
Because we said this is the opinion of
the wives of the prophet Umm Habiba and
Aisha radiallahu anhu Both of them they were
familiar with his sunnah And Umm Habiba clearly
said it She told us about all these
prayers Umm Habiba radiallahu anhu She said the
twelve rakahs If you pray them everyday Then
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will build a
house for you in jannah And we said
most likely it is a new house for
every twelve rakahs Not one house for praying
these twelve rakahs for your whole life It
is a huge difference Here you're talking about
one house The second opinion talking about thousands
of houses And that's why we said it
is a kingdom It's not jannah, it's kingdom
You're building a kingdom You're not just building
a small house, mansion and that's it And
you spend your whole life forever, eternity in
that house You are building a kingdom That's
why Allah called it in the Quran mulk
Right?
You're going to spend your whole, I mean
everyday Every week you spend your time in
a different house, in a different mansion Life
will be different there And I strongly believe
that it could be this case For every
twelve rakahs there will be a new house
Wallahu ta'ala alam So we started with
this, we call them ratiba The plural form
of ratiba is rawatib Sometimes people say ratiba
sunnah prayer Sometimes they say rawatib In Arabic
it's a plural Plural form of ratiba So
twelve rakahs everyday, not ten Ten, that's the
opinion of Abdullah ibn Umar We said he
was a sahabi He was trying to count
these rakahs Radhiallahu anhu But he was not
like the wives of the prophet They had
access to his private life And he used
to pray the sunnah at home Because he
encouraged Muslims to pray sunnah at home Alayhi
salatu wassalam So two before fajr And we
talked about their excellence We said they are
extremely important And if you miss them before
salatul fajr You should make them up after
fajr Immediately, one choice The other choice is
to make them up after sunrise You have
to wait When sunrise comes You wait at
least ten minutes Don't pray before ten minutes
After sunrise But preferably make them like twelve
or fifteen minutes But ten are okay Ten
minutes are okay, it's fine So you make
up those two rakahs If you miss them
after sunrise Or immediately after fajr Four before
dhuhr prayer We said two by two Two
after dhuhr prayer And two after maghrib prayer
And two after isha prayer So these are
twelve rakahs And they are found in hadith
of Umm Habibah Radhiallahu anha And also Aisha
radhiallahu anha Confirmed many of these prayers Radhiallahu
anhum ajma'in So this is highly confirmed
Highly confirmed means sunnah muakkadah Highly stressed The
reward are masha'Allah excellent A new house
for every twelve rakahs The dhuhr prayer, highly
confirmed There is no disagreement about it Dhuhr
prayer And it's called salatul awwabeen So we
got this name confirmed in hadith sahih That
is found in sahih muslim Who are the
awwabeen in English?
The penitent Those who keep turning to Allah
all the time With tawbah and istighfar So
they are good people Whenever they make a
mistake They are very sensitive about their relationship
With Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Whenever they
make a mistake They right away make tawbah
They make istighfar Those who keep turning to
Allah With tawbah and istighfar and dhikr They
have a special good relationship with Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala Salatul awwabeen So we didn't
make it up It is found in a
hadith in sahih muslim That is called salatul
awwabeen The timing we said 10 to 15
minutes after sunrise At the starting time You
have to do it 10 or 15 minutes
before zawal Zawal today for example is 12
.28 I think 28 right?
So it has to If you want to
pray salatul dhuha You have to finish dhuha
at least 10 minutes before Before zawal Before
12.28 So 12.18 That's the end
Minimum number of raka'as Is 2 raka
'as Minimum And there is no limit for
the maximum number of raka'as Because of
the hadith of Aisha She said he used
to pray 4 And sometimes he would pray
more And it's authentic in sahih muslim So
Aisha told us He used to pray more
than 4 But she didn't tell us specific
number She didn't say 6 or 8 or
10 or That's dhuha You have time, you
want to do it It's beautiful, minimum is
2 raka'as If you do 2 raka
'as That's good It could be difficult to
do it at work But if you are
able to do it in your office It's
your choice Of course at home it's easy
It's easier But if you have a musalla
in your company Then maybe during the break
At 10 o'clock The best time is
Like after The first quarter of the day
The day In the islamic terminology From sunrise
For example let's say from sunrise till maghrib
Divided into Into 4 parts So after the
first part Is over then the best time
For dhuha Let's say these days around 10
10 o'clock Or half way between sunrise
And zawal Half way between sunrise, that's the
best time But you can do it at
any time Even 15 minutes After sunrise We
said people call it sometimes salatul ishraq Sunnah
of ishraq Or sunnah of shuruq It's the
same dhuha prayer But it has 2 names
Because it is done After sunrise immediately But
if it is done at 10 o'clock
It is not called shuruq Or sunnah of
shuruq or ishraq It's called only dhuha It's
got 1 name if you do it It
will get only 1 name if you do
it at 10 or 11 After shuruq If
it is done after shuruq It has 2
names Ok so this is dhuha Highly recommended
This is the opinion of many scholars Not
all of them said highly recommended Highly stressed
The other scholars They said it is recommended
But they didn't say highly stressed But some
of them, many of them They said it
is highly stressed Greeting the masjid Tahiyyatul masjid
Tahiyyatul masjid We said there are only 2
rakahs This prayer is 2 rakahs The requirement
is waived So before you When you enter
the masjid Before you sit down You are
supposed to pray 2 rakahs But if you
pray Another rakah after entering the masjid Then
this requirement Is waived, you don't have to
pray tahiyyatul masjid One brother came To me
After we prayed salatul dhuhr or salatul asr
Or maghrib, I don't remember And he said
oh imam I missed tahiyyatul masjid Can I
make it up after Because he said when
I came, you're praying Salah was taking place
The congregation The jama'a was taking place
So I missed tahiyyatul masjid Can I do
it now after the salat?
No You don't have to do it Because
when you came in The jama'a was
taking place You joined the jama'a, this
is what you are supposed to do And
that's it, the requirement is waived Because you
prayed before you sat down This is the
requirement For tahiyyatul masjid You pray before you
sit down If you pray another salat Let's
say sunnah The highly confirmed sunnah before dhuhr
That's fine, you pray faridah That's fine, the
most important thing Is that you don't sit
down in the masjid Before you offer any
prayer If you decide to You have more
time, decide to pray The greeting of the
masjid And then you pray the other sunnah,
that's your choice You'll be praying extra Extra
rak'as What I'm saying here, I'm not
saying If you come to the masjid And
if you are praying The other sunnah The
highly confirmed sunnah prayer Before dhuhr Then you
don't pray tahiyyatul masjid You're not allowed, I'm
not saying that What I'm saying is you
have the choice here Either to pray tahiyyatul
masjid By itself And then you pray the
other highly confirmed sunnah Four rak'as let's
say, before dhuhr Or let's say before Before
fajr, two rak'as You pray the tahiyyatul
masjid And you pray the sunnah for fajr
That is your choice So you'll be doing
four, tahiyyatul masjid And the other choice Is
to ignore tahiyyatul masjid You ignore it and
you pray only The sunnah of fajr, two
rak'as That is another choice And it
is fine and it's up to you And
you get the reward Of praying tahiyyatul masjid
Because you didn't sit down before Offering a
prayer So here people talk about combining the
intention And that's ok, this is what they
mean What they mean when they talk about
Combination, combining between two intentions Even if you
don't Think about tahiyyatul masjid You will be
fulfilling The requirement of praying Before you sit
down in the masjid Is that clear, yakhwan?
So if the jama'a Is taking place
then there should be No greeting of the
masjid And the greeting of the masjid could
be offered During the forbidden prayer times Awqatul
nahi When the salah is forbidden That is
the opinion of Imam Ahmad and Imam Shafi
'i And most of the scholars Nowadays Those
who are independent I would say They follow
this opinion They feel that this opinion is
the right opinion I know in the Maliki
madhab In the Hanafi madhab They don't offer
any prayer During these forbidden Prayer times They
don't I have to be clear with you
Because this is the opinion of Imam Abu
Hanifa And Imam Malik He said don't do
it It's not time for prayer Imam Shafi
'i and Ahmad Ibn Hanbal They said no,
you do it Because it has a specific
reason This is what I follow And this
is what many Muslim scholars In contemporary times
In our times follow, many Those who study
And they follow The sunnah, they like to
follow the sunnah They are not Neuro-minded
What did we say A long time ago
when we had a About the removal of
blame From the great imams We said we
respect our imams We love them We appreciate
their efforts We believe inshallah That they will
be in the best place in jannah Our
imams, right Imam Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi'i
and Ahmad But we don't Encourage blind following
Right We don't encourage blind following And there
are enough proofs That these specific prayers Which
have a reason You can do them during
these forbidden Prayer times, can you leave the
question till the end After maybe 10 minutes
Inshallah So So Greeting the masjid Here
when it comes to a mas'ala like
this Do you pray during the forbidden prayer
times You don't You cannot say both of
them are right This is an example where
you can't Either you pray or you don't
pray There is no third choice So one
of them must be wrong And that's ok
When you say this The opinion of another
Two imams or another imam Could be wrong,
that's fine You're not degrading the status of
the imam You're not Because in that halaqa
you remember We said even some sahaba missed
some Knowledge, no one is perfect No one
is Infallible, this is our aqeedah Even some
sahaba Missed some knowledge and they themselves They
said yeah I missed this hadith I missed
this hadith I missed this hadith That's fine
It doesn't, it doesn't You're not showing disrespect
To these imams Here you have to make
a choice Either you pray tahiyyat al masjid
During these forbidden times Which is between asr
and maghrib Between sunrise and fajr Or you
don't So two opposite opinions And you have
to choose one of them You come inside
the masjid after asr What are you going
to do?
If you pray tahiyyat al masjid that means
you're following The opinion of imam Shafi'i
And imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal If you don't
pray that means you're following the opinion of
imam Abu Hanifa and imam Malik But as
I said there are enough Proofs that this
salat If it has a specific reason Let's
say after asr Rasulallah made up a sunnah
He missed the sunnah The sunnah of dhuhr
After dhuhr He prayed it after asr It's
a time of forbiddance And he offered this
sunnah after asr And when people are doing
umrah Or hajj Doing tawaf The two rakats
of tawaf They have a specific reason I
didn't see anyone waiting Say no There's one
hour before maghrib I'll wait I'll pray them
after I don't know if some other people
are doing that But to the best of
my knowledge I've never met anyone, any muslim
Saying I have to wait One hour after
maghrib After sunset I will pray these two
rakats All muslims when they finish Tawaf they
think immediately About these two rakats During this
Even if they are praying them During this
time of forbiddance Wallahu ta'ala A'lam
The sunnah of ablution We said it is
Confirmed It is a confirmed sunnah right We
mentioned three hadith if you remember And all
of them are highly authentic One of them
in Bukhari and Muslim One of them in
Bukhari the other one in Muslim All of
them highly I said highly authentic But the
sunnah is not highly stressed It is a
confirmed sunnah But it is a sunnah You
make wudu, finishing wudu You want to pray
two rakats As a sunnah of ablution Alhamdulillah
And we mentioned the beautiful story of Bilal
Ibn Rabah He said I am wondering Ya
Bilal what do you do Do you have
a special deed Because I heard the sound
of your sandals In front of me in
Jannah In paradise Maybe during the The journey
Of Isra or Mi'raj maybe Or in
his dream Allah Ta'ala I am not
sure about it exactly But what he said
Ya Bilal I heard the sound of your
sandals in Jannah In front of me what
do you do And Bilal told him about
the sunnah of wudu He said whenever I
make wudu I pray, I offer He didn't
say two rakats He said I pray to
Allah as much as I can So that
is why we said The maximum number There
is no limit for the maximum number For
the maximum number Of rakats because of the
story of Bilal But the other ahadith he
mentioned two rakats And again because it has
a Specific reason it could be Offered during
the forbidden prayer times Wallahu Ta'ala A
'lam The night prayer highly Stressed, highly Confirmed,
it's a beautiful sunnah Rasulallah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
used to do it Every time, some ulama
believe Maybe it was wajib Upon him An
obligation upon him to offer The night prayer
So he used to do eleven rakats sometimes
Two by two And one single rakat at
the end That is the famous hadith of
Aisha In Sahih Muslim We studied We discussed
this hadith Last time, eleven Sometimes he would
do thirteen Eight rakats by themselves Two by
two, eight And then five together In a
row That would be his witter Five, so
eight plus five Thirteen, that's his choice Most
of the time is eleven or thirteen Other
times He did, he prayed Night prayer in
a different way Nine rakats, eight plus one
What do you mean by eight plus one?
Eight together in a row Plus the tashahud
Tashahud without salam And then he would stand
up For the last rakat, number nine He
would do one rakat and then make salam
Tashahud and salam Right?
So this is one way, not very common
maybe But he did It was confirmed by
Umm Salama I think she is the one
who narrated this This form of salat if
I'm not mistaken Seven rakats in a row
That would be like his witter and night
prayer Now, is it permissible Or not permissible
to pray more than thirteen?
Of course, definitely It's permissible Because of the
famous hadith In Bukhari and Muslim, when he
was asked About the night prayer He said
two by two If you are worried about
fajr Then you end your salat with one
single rakat, witter He said two by two,
famous hadith That's why we have many brothers
and sisters They pray in Ramadan Twenty rakats,
that's five Twenty Twenty three rakats If they
add witter to it That's fine, you want
to do twenty That is your choice, if
you want to do thirty That is your
choice Because he said two by two He
said, and if you are worried about When
you are worried about fajr Then end your
salat with one rakat And that would be
your witter This is a famous hadith But
talking about his personal choice His personal choice
It was eleven, thirteen Most of the time
So sometimes nine rakats Sometimes seven in a
row But Aisha radiallahu anha Stressed The sunnah
of praying Eleven rakats, maybe because This is
what he used to do at her house
In her house Wallahu ta'ala And we
said the witter prayer Could be One rakat
or more More like not two Witter cannot
be two, it has to be A number
So it's either one rakat Or three, most
of the people They do three, most of
the people do three But we said three
in a row Or two plus one You
do two, ikhtashahud, salam And then you add
the third one Wallahu ta'ala alam So
this is the night prayer The daily sunnah
prayers Confirmed but not highly stressed The other
ten that we are supposed to do If
you wish Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he
said If you wish, especially about the two
rakats Before maghrib, the two rakats before isha
He said if you wish So they're not
highly stressed It's a regular sunnah But it
is confirmed through authentic ahadith The ten So
now the two rakats After the ratiba of
the dhuhr prayer What is the ratiba After
the dhuhr prayer How many rakats?
After Two So now you add another two
There will be eight So six will be
highly confirmed Six will be four before dhuhr
Two after dhuhr, these are highly confirmed Part
of the twelve rakats Another two Confirmed but
not highly stressed If you wish But the
hadith is authentic He said Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam Whoever prays He said whoever prays
Four rakats before dhuhr And four rakats after
dhuhr Then Allah will protect him from The
punishment of hellfire So four before Four after
The total is eight So how does it
work?
Six are highly confirmed The other two Are
confirmed but not highly stressed Confirmed meaning the
hadith is authentic But not highly stressed It
is your choice Four rakats before the asr
prayer So not highly confirmed But Rasulallah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam used to do that sometimes
He said May Allah have mercy on someone
who Prays four rakats before asr prayer Two
rakats before maghrib The two rakats before maghrib
Meaning after the adhan Between the adhan and
the iqamah Be careful There is no salah
before maghrib Before the time of maghrib is
in It is forbidden to pray during this
time But it is between The adhan and
the iqamah Before you pray maghrib The sahaba
used to do that But Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said they are optional If you
wish to do them Offer two rakats He
used to tell them Pray before maghrib At
the end he would say Three times and
at the end he said If you wish
It's up to you So that means they
are not highly stressed But the hadith is
confirmed Because it is in Bukhari and Muslim
It is authentic And the two rakats before
isha So the total there are ten extra
prayers For those who have the energy For
those who have the time For those who
have the desire To pray these extra prayers
You want to get closer to Allah You
want to have a better relationship with Allah
These are beautiful options Highly confirmed I wouldn't
say I don't want to confuse you They
are not highly stressed But they are confirmed
through authentic hadith And they are an option
for you And for all Muslims Jazakumullah khair
Now highly controversial sunnah prayers Now this is
the last slide We said the prayer of
need Salatul haja It is not confirmed The
way It was described In the ahadith of
salatul haja We said two of them are
fabricated The other two Are very weak With
the duas Even the supplication we said they
are ok The duas used in this ahadith
Their meaning is ok But the ahadith are
not confirmed But what is the alternative If
you are dealing with a hardship If you
want to achieve something What is the alternative
Is to pray And it is confirmed In
a hadith sahih Whatever Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa
sallam Is facing Dealing with an issue Or
whatever he Faced a hardship Or he dealt
with an issue He would pray He would
seek refuge In prayer He would pray to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And ask Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala to make it easy
for him That was his sunnah Without a
specific format Without specific dua You can communicate
with Allah in your own language If you
wish In your own language we said this
is permissible And this is ok Because Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala Knows all the languages
And this is one opinion And we said
the majority Overwhelming majority of prophets And messengers
used to speak different languages The prophets and
messengers used to speak Arabic language Are only
four One of them is our prophet Muhammad
salallahu alayhi wa sallam Now the prayer of
After maghrib prayer Six rakahs is not confirmed
All the hadith are very weak They are
weak But there are people Who believe in
it and they do it After they pray
the highly stressed Sunnah two rakahs They pray
this extra six rakahs It's their choice but
the hadith are not authentic The sunnah prayer
Of zawal we talked about it today It
is confirmed in shafi'i madhab Only All
majority of muslim scholars they said there is
no Sunnah Such a sunnah that is called
the sunnah of zawal And the sunnah of
tasbeeh Tasabeeh Or tasbeeh we said the hadith
is highly Controversial Some of them saying hasan
some of them saying weak Some of them
very weak some of them say fabricated So
the hadith The status of this hadith is
not confirmed And it is The format of
this hadith is not usual The format of
this prayer Sorry This prayer is not usual
Is not completely different We are not familiar
with it as muslims So I mean I
follow the opinion That says this salat Is
not prescribed It shouldn't be treated as a
sunnah prayer Is what I follow Wallahu ta
'ala alam If I hear about another imam
doing it Another person doing it I will
say khalas alhamdulillah if you are following The
other opinion that is your choice Wallahu ta
'ala alam Jazakumullahu khairan We have ten minutes
left As I said this is the last
halaqa in this program But next week we
come back With a different halaqa And the
halaqa the title for the halaqa Next week
What happens when we die There is some
interesting information I would like to share it
with you From a religious and scientific Perspective
What happens When we die Insha'Allah that
is the subject of our halaqa Next week
Biiznillah ta'ala This coming Friday December 13th
and December 20th We are supposed also to
talk about another subject Insha'Allah Still have
to confirm it It is another interesting subject
especially for our youth But insha'Allah we
will let you know Biiznillah ta'ala next
week So today we are ending this program
The series of halaqat I didn't talk about
kusuf I am sure you are familiar with
that Eid prayer Because these are Eid prayers
And the kusuf prayer The eclipse prayer Is
not something that we do on a daily
basis Right Kusuf prayer we do it once
in a while Eid prayer we do it
once every year The two Eid prayers And
you are familiar with them alhamdulillah And they
are either highly confirmed In the opinion of
majority of Muslim scholars The Hanafi Muslim scholars
They believe that it could be wajib Right
It is important they are important Eid prayer
is important And you know the format You
are familiar with the format And the sunan
of Eid prayer So I prefer to talk
about Speak about the sunan that we need
them On a regular basis And that was
the content of this program May Allah accept
us all We start with you Because I
promised that I will answer your question Go
ahead Mohammad Noor Mohammad Noor
Okay I heard about this opinion I heard
about this opinion The opinion of Noor Uthaymeen
Or another scholar And I respect this scholar
I respect him a lot He is more
knowledgeable than me There is no doubt about
it right But I disagree with him Because
Rasulullah clearly said If you come to the
masjid don't sit down before you offer a
prayer.
This is the hadith of Rasulullah ﷺ.
As I said, with due respect, with love
and respect to this scholar, I disagree with
him.
And he is more knowledgeable than me, there
is no doubt about it.
But the hadith of Rasulullah ﷺ is very
clear.
So what I do, and many brothers do,
if there is one minute, they keep standing
up.
That's fine.
That's fine if you stand up for one
minute, waiting for the adhan.
If you want to offer the prayer, right?
You offer the prayer.
You said between the adhan and the iqamah,
right?
This is what you are talking about.
So you are waiting for the iqamah.
Now, let me finish.
Let's say you decided to pray the greeting
of the masjid.
And here, the solution that I will give
you, is the solution of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen
himself.
And I agree with him, it's a beautiful
solution.
The same scholar that you mentioned, he mentioned
a beautiful solution.
He said, let's say you started Tahiyyat al
-Masjid.
And we make iqamah.
If you are in the first rakah, quit
the salat.
Because the jama'ah, the mandatory prayer, has
a priority.
Right?
It's more important.
Quit your salat.
Quit the greeting, the sunnah of the prayer.
And there is nothing wrong with that.
And you join the jama'ah.
You are not sitting down before you pray.
Because you are going to join the jama
'ah.
You are still standing up.
So you didn't violate, or you didn't go
against the nasihah, or the advice of Rasulullah
ﷺ, the recommendation of Rasulullah.
He said, if you are in the second
rakah, quickly finish your salat.
He said, you are doing the second rakah,
quickly finish your salat, and then you join
the jama'ah.
Because he said, in the second rakah, most
likely you will be able to join the
Fatiha, for example.
Right?
You will be able to join the jama
'ah, while the imam is still reciting the
Fatiha.
So you don't miss a lot.
That is a solution that he suggested himself.
And I feel, it's very reasonable.
This solution.
Instead of sitting down, Rasulullah ﷺ said, don't
sit down before you pray.
I mean, if you do it, it's not
a sin.
But you will be going against the sunnah.
Highly recommended sunnah.
Can we give another chance to another person?
It's related to the same point.
But it's a different question.
Okay, sister, go ahead.
Okay, Rasulullah ﷺ used to do, when he
travels, he used to do the fajr prayer,
all the time.
Which prayer?
And he used to offer qiyam al-layl,
while praying.
The other sunnah, if you are shortening dhuhr,
let's say you are praying dhuhr too.
The ulama, they said, you don't pray sunnah
prayer.
You don't do them.
Because even the dhuhr prayer, you are shortening
it.
Isha, you are shortening the isha prayer.
You are praying isha two rak'ahs.
Then you don't pray the sunnah.
But Rasulullah ﷺ used to pray salat al
-fajr, sunnah fajr.
Because it's extremely important.
This is what he said.
They are extremely important.
He used to do them while traveling.
The two rak'ahs before fajr, and the
winter prayer.
So, we should follow his sunnah.
By the way, praying, brother Ali, I'm sorry.
Our brother asked me about praying on the
rahila while driving, right?
He asked me last time, doing the sunnah
prayer, or qiyam al-layl while driving, right?
Majority of Muslim scholars, they said a Muslim
is not supposed to do it while he's
local.
They said it's only allowed when the person
is traveling.
He asked me this question, I think, in
one of the halaqat, you remember?
Yeah, you remember?
So, they said, majority.
And I follow their opinion.
I follow the opinion of the majority.
When you are local, you don't do it.
If you are driving in town, you want
to pray the naafil, qiyam al-layl, while
driving a taxi driver at night.
You should find, if you want to pray
qiyam al-layl, you should find a location
where you have the coat, go inside and
pray.
Or you go home, do a night prayer
if you want to do a night prayer.
Or you finish before fajr, one hour, and
then you do the night prayer in the
last part of the night, which is the
best time.
So, while driving, majority of Muslim scholars said,
if you are local, you're not supposed to
do it.
Because we don't have a proof that Rasulallah
ﷺ did it while he was local.
He did it only when he was traveling.
Praying with his camel.
Not al-faridah, not the mandatory prayers.
The qiyam al-layl, the witr prayer and
qiyam al-layl.
Yes, another question?
Yes, go ahead sheikh.
Juma'a ala safar, the ulema said, if
you are beside a masjid, and it's easy
for you to offer juma'a, you join
the juma'a.
If it is difficult for you to join,
then you are relieved from this obligation.
You can pray dhuhr.
Because you are a musafir.
And a musafir is relieved from the obligation
of attending salat al-juma'a, but they
said it is better if you are in
an area, and Muslims are praying salat al
-juma'a in a masjid, and you are
there, it's better for you if you have
the time, and you are able to attend,
to attend salat al-juma'a.
Yes.
If you are in a...
No, no.
If you are in an area where there
is no jami'a, there is no masjid,
you don't pray too.
Of course, if you are staying less than
four days, I follow the opinion of majority
of Muslim scholars, if you are staying in
one area less than four days, right?
Four days or less, then you benefit from
this concession of shortening the prayers.
But you go for 15 days, and you
know you have your ticket, and if you
stay 15 days, stay 20 days, you know
when you are going back, you become like
the local people.
And you don't shorten, you complete the prayers.
So dhuhr in this case you pray it,
four rakats.
Wallahu ta'ala alim.
Yes.
Yawm al-jumu'ah, we said, there is
no prescribed sunnah before jumu'ah.
Rasulallah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said, in
some beautiful ahadith, talking about the rewards of
those who came early.
He said, makes wudhu, put perfume, he dressed
up, then he comes to the masjid, the
person came to the masjid, and prayed whatever
Allah has decreed for him to pray.
He didn't mention any specific sunnah.
So you come to the masjid, you want
to pray two rakats, sit down and read
Qur'an, that is your choice.
You come to the masjid, you want to
offer eight rakats, ten rakats, before the imam
comes to the minbar, that is your choice.
Rasulallah salallahu alaihi wa sallam did not specifically,
he did not mention a specific number of
rakats.
Right?
After jumu'ah, he said, pray four rakats,
in one hadith.
In another hadith, he prayed two rakats at
home after jumu'ah.
So, I, allahu alam, it could be, both
of them, both options are okay.
Either you pray two rakats, or four rakats.
But he said in a hadith that is
sahih and sahih Muslim, he said, offer four
rakats.
If you don't have time, you can do
only two.
Wallahu ta'ala.
Now, sisters, let's try to be fair.
Twelve.
Yeah, go ahead.
Of course, definitely.
If you are traveling, in the plane, definitely,
if you are praying in the plane, you
can benefit from all these, processions.
You shorten, and you combine.
While you are sitting, I'll tell you about
what I do.
I try to talk to the people.
Those who serve the food.
I tell them, if the plane is big,
if it is a long journey, from here
to Europe, usually the plane is big, and
there are some corners, beside the kitchen.
I tell them, I need to offer my
prayer.
So I stand up, I offer proper ruku
and sujood.
Because there is a place, there is a
space.
There is a space, and they allow you.
Some companies did not allow me.
So I prayed in my seat.
Fortunately, some of them are Muslim companies.
Unfortunately.
But if the plane is small, going from
Calgary to Toronto, usually it is very small.
There is no space.
Even if you go beside the kitchen, you
will not find a space.
So you pray in your seat.
But, there is one thing very important.
Maybe we can, inshallah, maybe in the future,
we do a halaqa, about the prayer of
the travelling people.
Prayer of the travellers.
If you are able to pray on the
ground, before you leave, or after you reach
your destination, this is what you are supposed
to do.
It is an obligation, because you will be
able to do proper ruku, and proper sujood.
Let's say you are in Calgary, in the
airport.
You are travelling after one hour, and the
dhuhr is in.
You pray dhuhr.
You have enough time, to pray dhuhr in
the Calgary airport.
Now the musalla is, mashallah, there is enough
space in the musalla, in the Calgary airport.
And it is fully dedicated for Muslims.
They removed all the other stuff.
They put them inside.
I think there is a big number of
Muslims, who are working in the airport itself.
And they are doing juma prayer there.
So alhamdulillah, there is no excuse.
Or even if there is no musalla, you
can pray in any corner.
But you pray on the ground, in the
airport.
Right?
If it is possible, this is what you
are supposed to do.
Now if it is possible to do it,
when you reach your destination.
Let's say, you did pray dhuhr, and you
reach Toronto area, after asr.
But you have enough time.
When you reach there, in the airport, you
have one hour, one hour and a half,
before maghrib.
So you have enough time to pray dhuhr,
and asr.
So you delay them.
You don't pray them in the plane.
You delay them.
When you go to the airport, you go
to the wudu, washroom, make wudu, and find
a good spot, and you pray dhuhr and
asr.
And you are travelling, then two by two,
shorten dhuhr, shorten the maghrib, combine them together,
and you are good.
Sorry, you shorten the dhuhr, and you shorten
the asr prayer.
Two by two.
Maghrib, you cannot shorten maghrib, you cannot shorten
fajr.
So the only three prayers, who can be
shortened, is dhuhr, and asr, and isha.
So if you are able to pray on
the ground, this is what you are supposed
to do.
Otherwise, if it is not possible, let's say,
you are going towards Toronto, and you reach
there, during maghrib time.
Then you don't have a choice.
Maybe you have to pray asr, if you
didn't pray it, in the plane, or dhuhr
and asr, if you didn't pray them.
Wallahu ta'ala.
If you fly here from night time, ah,
ok, some of the prayers are very difficult.
Like, I would say, maghrib and isha are
easy.
Because, when you are travelling, you just pay
attention to the darkness, around you.
If it becomes dark, it's time for maghrib
and isha, and put them together.
Maghrib three rakahs, isha two rakahs, and then
you do dhuhr one rakah, and that's it.
If it is dark around you, so that's
time, it's night time.
So pray maghrib and isha.
The problem is fajr.
Fajr then you have to, what I do
when I look at the map in front
of me, try to calculate, and see, and
check the timing of some other cities.
So it's a matter of ishtihad, to be
honest with you.
Because sometimes you try to look outside, and
it's very, you're not sure, if it is
fajr or not, and it's not easy.
So I look at the, you know, how
much we are traveling, and how many hours,
and the towns, different towns, and it's a
matter of ishtihad.
But maghrib and isha should be easy, and
also dhuhr and asr, it could be easy.
Most of the time they are easy, because
we know if you are, after twelve, after
one o'clock, in one area or two
o'clock, and you know the timing in
that area, it's easy too.
It's time for dhuhr and asr.
You can put them together.
Wallahu ta'ala alam.
Any question here?
I will give a chance to the brothers.
Yes.
I mean, someone raised his hand.
Yourself or the, yeah, go ahead.
You recite one ayah?
In one rakah?
This is permissible.
Or repeating one ayah?
In one rakah you repeat the same ayah?
Let him explain himself.
Could you clarify your question?
Qiyam al-layl and you repeat in every
rakah?
You pray the same, you recite the same
ayah?
It is permissible, but it's better to, it's
better to recite, you know, a number of
ayahs.
It is permissible.
Technically, your salat will be accepted.
Right?
One ayah.
What kind of ayah, give me an example.
Yeah, there is a hadith.
She felt emotional about that ayah.
I don't know exactly which ayah, but I
know the story, yeah.
She felt emotional, and she liked the meaning
of the ayah, she kept on reciting it.
She wanted to, you know, spend time, more
time with this ayah.
That's permissible, that's fine.
But it is better to, you know, recite
a good number of ayahs, because if you
number 10, you will be, inshallah, recorded on
that night.
You will not be recorded among the people
of ghafla, the people of heedlessness.
If you recite 100 ayahs, you will be
among the qanitin, the obedient people.
And then, more than 100, the more you
recite, inshallah, because for every harf, for every
letter, you get 10 hasanat, and you will
be able to spend more time with the
Qur'an, with the ayahs of the Qur
'an.
But as I said, what you mentioned is
permissible.
Fadlul muhammad.
You pray the 2 rakats, quickly.
You do the tahiyyat al-masjid quickly, highly
confirmed, and then you listen to the khateeb.
Sister, fadli.
There are some ulema who mention that, yeah.
You stand up and then you sit down.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not sure if it is a requirement
or agreed upon.
I'm not sure about it, but I heard
about this fatwa.
I need to look into it, yeah.
That you stand up, you say allahu akbar,
and then you sit down.
I'm not sure about it.
Jazakallah khair.
Yeah.
Fadlul.
Maalish, can we, because I talked to you.
We had a discussion.
Go to him, we come back to you,
inshallah.
Before?
Okay.
If you want, you can.
It's not a good time for prayer, but
as I said, when there is a specific
reason, you can pray.
10 minutes, for example, but 5, I mean,
if you want to wait, that's your choice.
If you want to pray, that's fine.
Yeah, maybe some people do it 3 minutes,
you find them 3 minutes, 4 minutes, standing
up, looking through the window.
Yeah, there are people who do it this
way.
That's their choice.
But if you want to pray, that's fine.
If you want to offer, let's say 2
quick rakahs, with al-fatiha only, in each
rakah.
You don't even recite al-surah.
You see what I'm saying?
That's another choice.
Should be fine.
Because there is a specific reason for it.
Allah Ta'ala knows.
I promised brother Ahmed.
For the night prayer?
Yeah, that's a personal choice.
If you do 2, 4, 6, 8.
I told you about what Rasulullah ﷺ used
to do.
But when he was asked about qiyam al
-layl, the night prayer, he said 2 by
2.
He himself did not.
He used to pray more.
But when he was asked, he said 2
by 2.
So 2 is okay, 4 is okay, 6
is okay, 8.
And then he said, if you are worried
about fajr, then you end it with 1
rakah.
So 2 would be fine.
Whatever you pray, you will be rewarded.
You get the reward of your prayer.
Right?
Whatever you do.
But of course, if you want to do
more, it's better 4 or 6, if you
are able.
If you are able to do 4, that's
good.
6, good.
8, good.
Alhamdulillah, whatever you do, it's your life.
Your choice.
Yes.
Surat?
Surat Qaf?
In the fajr prayer?
On Friday?
On the Mimbar?
Or during the Jum'ah?
During the Jum'ah prayer, yes.
It is one of the options, one of
the sulams.
But here, I'll tell you something.
We have a problem here in Calgary.
We give long speeches.
Why?
Because we feel that majority of people don't
come to the halaqat.
The only time you need to share a
good message with the community is well, during
Friday prayer.
So we, people have to go back to
work.
It's not a holiday.
If we recite surat Qaf, or long surahs,
it will not be easy.
So what we do is, we recite short
surahs.
We know we are not following the sunnah,
but we are not going against the sunnah.
There is a difference between doing something else
because you believe this is the right thing
to do, and you go against a clear
sunnah, and between missing the sunnah because of
other reasons.
You see what I'm saying?
So here we give long speeches during the
khutbah prayer, because overwhelming majority of people don't
come to the halaqat.
The only time they hear something, I mean,
there are people who listen to halaqat in
their, you know, from YouTube or social media,
but I'm talking about the halaqat in the
masjid.
The only time they come to the masjid
is for Jumu'ah prayer.
So we speak for like 20-25 minutes,
and then we don't want to recite long
surahs.
We recite short surahs because we know that
people are worried about work.
They want to go back to work.
So this is our situation in Calgary.
But it is one of the sunnah, yes.
Reciting surah qaf.
Fadhal.
To be feet to feet, and shoulder to
shoulder, it is what is preferred, what is
recommended.
But the minimum requirement is to line up,
to make straight lines.
Yeah, if there is gaps, the salah is
accepted.
It is makrooh, but the salah is disliked,
but the salah is accepted.
Right?
So there is minimum requirement, and there is
what is preferred, and what is recommended.
But don't push.
Don't push your neighbors.
Be reasonable.
Fadhal.
Could you say it again, please?
I mean, if you want, yeah, if you
remember.
Like you sit down, and then you sit
down, and you say, Oh, I missed taheet
al-masjid.
You stand up and do it again.
Yeah, that's fine.
That's fine.
Sisters, you don't have questions?
Okay.
Another question?
Fadhal.
Because today, mashallah, we're staying till 9.15.
I think two, the last two questions are
khalas.
Yeah, go ahead.
There is no special, no, there is no,
no extra recommendation during night of Juma.
The hadith is not authentic.
To single out the night of Juma with
extra prayers, hadith is not authentic.
Rasulullah ﷺ used to pray the same way
for the whole week.
Right?
Fadhal.
If you are staying four days, or less.
Yeah, that's another madhhab.
That's a Hanafi madhhab.
Yeah, majority, they say four days, or less
than four days.
Yeah, I know.
If you follow that, allahu a'lam, that
should be fine.
There is no, these are matters of ijtihad.
No clear instructions when it comes to travelling.
The instructions are not very clear.
So, the ulema, they start to, they try
their best to understand the practice of Rasulullah
ﷺ when travelling, but there is no clear,
like if we have a clear hadith telling
us that, you know, four days, or, we
don't have, this is the ijtihad of the
ulema.
They made the effort to calculate this timing,
and to calculate the distance, and, so they
have their, they have their own ways of
reaching this conclusion.
Right?
So it shouldn't be a big problem if
you follow the other opinion.
But it is in the Hanafi madhhab, yeah.
Jazakumullahu khair, mubarakallahu feekum.
We see you next week with a new
halaqa, biidhnillahi ta'ala.
