Now brothers and sisters,
regarding Salat al Witter,
let us understand
that
the matter of Witter is very flexible.
Okay?
There are 3 main ways of praying withers.
There is the Hanafi way which is to
pray 3 with 1 taslim at the end.
You pray 2 rakah,
then you sit for
tashahood, you stand up, you read Surah Fatihah
loudly.
After Surah Fatihah, you read some Quran, maybe
Surat Qulhu Allahu Ahad, then you say Allahu
Akbar in a standing position
with raising your hands, and this is wajib
according to the Hanafi madam. And then after
that,
you do unut, short unut, quietly.
Some Hanafi scholars allowed also, loud
congregational
unu.
In a standing position, after you say Allahu
Akbar
with raising your hands
after,
which is in the 3rd raka. And this
is what? Before the Rokkur.
So this is the Hanafi way.
The Jumhur,
they pray witter,
in a different way. 2 rakah,
sit, make the sleep, stand up, and then
you do
one rakah alone.
The shafi' is so the Jomor, this is
the Malekis and the Hanabilah, Although Hanabilah have
different ways.
The Malekis, they prefer this, which is what?
2 raka,
do taslim,
stand up,
no unut,
and do 1 raka.
And they consider any way other than this
is macro as far as I,
understand or as I remember.
The shafi'i
is the opposite.
They they,
prefer
3 consecutive rakas
without sitting in between. So first raka, second
raka, you don't sit for tashahhut at all,
continue for the 3rd raka,
and then you do the qunut
after
the,
after the,
3rd raka, after ruku of the 3rd raka.
So now as you can see that there
are 3 main ways.
All of them are valid,
every single madhab has its own daleel for
that.
The agenda support all of them.
To say brothers and sisters, I know that
unfortunately
prominent
du'aat and prominent, you know, you may call
them scholars,
they say that the Hanafi
madhab is against Sunnah. You cannot say this
because it is impossible
to have
a school of thought that is followed by
thousands
of scholars, and they are doing something that
is against sunnah. I don't want to go
now into the discussion regarding their daleel for
that. Every single madhab, my dear brothers
and sisters whenever it is adopted by the
madhab and the scholars in that madhab, they
don't deny it,
then you cannot say that it against sunnah
brothers.
Be careful, please. So don't say that
the Hanafi witter is against
sunnah. This is maybe in of itself is
a problematic statement.
Okay? So these are the 3 main ways
of doing witter.
I strongly recommend
that in a multicultural,
in a multicultural
society,
in a multi,
a multi madhub society,
salafis, you have Hanafis, you have Hanafis, you
you have shafis. Of course, that doesn't mean
that the salafis are against the hanafis or
they are different. I have my own view
about it that Hanafis and Shafis and,
Malikis are all Salafis. Okay?
To distinguish them from Salafis, this is another
story, but anyway.
You have in each masjid all.
So
what to do?
I strongly prefer
that we as imams
need to teach
all
the congregation
that there are different ways of praying wither
and that
and that the imam is accommodating
always and is
accommodating
the whole congregation.
So one time pray as Hanafi, and this
is what we do in our Masjid in
Darul Hasan. One way pray Shafi'i,
one way
pray Maliki. In Dar al Hassan we have
not yet prayed Shafi'i way, but we've been
praying,
Maliki,
because one of our imams, Jazalullah khairam, is
Maliki. We want to cater for him as
well. And for them it is Magrukh to
pray the 3 raka'ah,
which is the shafi'i way. Yeah? So anyway,
the the the I strongly prefer that, especially
our main masajid,
the big masajid. They should pray wither in
different
ways. One time Hanafi, one time Shafei, one
time,
Maliki,
and they can alternate
between that, my dear brothers,
and sisters. The I I think this will
help us to be united, will help us
to,
be tolerant to each other. And as we
said, that the matter is very flexible. The
prophet
gave us,
he
said
and the prophet
also prayed the 3 together. There is 1
narration and 5 together, and that gave the
flexibility
in,
how to pray Salatul Uyghur.
