Number one,
time has to be in. Okay, before prayer, you have to make sure the
time is in purification of yourself, you have to make well do
purification of place and clothes, your clothes, and where you pray,
have to not have any ninjas on them. If they do have an agenda,
and you discover this in the prayer, simply move that into
Jessa off. If it's a garment like a jacket, you can just take the
jacket off, if your body is still covered. If it's on your shoe, you
just take your shoe off in the middle of the prayer. If it's on
your mat, you just move over in the middle of the prayer. And then
number two, Jessica,
good Qibla you have to be facing the Qibla you have to really sure
yet, you don't require to face it, you're required to put out an
effort to find it. Okay, to Sahaba were traveling at night. And it
was too cloudy to determine the Qibla. So each one estimated what
they thought was the parabola and they put arrows they made arrows
in the sand in the direction of their prayer. They then
they then
woke up the next day and found out they were both wrong about the
direction of the prayer. So they went back to the Prophet peace be
upon him that day. And they explained to him what happened.
And he accepted their prayer as it was because they put the effort
out. Okay, you got to put the effort in the middle of your
prayer. If you discover that the Qibla is wrong. You simply someone
turns you or you turn yourself in the middle of the prayer. If you
finish your prayer and you realize the Qibla was wrong, then ask
yourself is the prayer time still in? If the answer is yes, then
repeat the prayer. If that prayer is out, then you do not need to
repeat the prayer. Okay, so I prayed Aisha in the wrong Qibla I
went somewhere else and they told me or someone came and they said
no, this code is wrong. It's this way. What do I do? I repeat the
prayer so long as Aisha is still in. Now, right five salon times
and a
void one is a sign that void is in and out
to show
good once this zenith at the zenith basically the top though is
in and then the two there are two opinions about when voters out
either the shadow is equal the object of its length or double.
Alright, the dominant opinion is that the shadow equals the object
of its length. Now one note here, the equals the object of the
length, along with the shadow that exists when the sun is at the
zenith. Now, it's a bit confusing, but
the only area of the earth in which when the sun is at the
zenith, the objects have no shadow is that the equatorial region,
okay, the equatorial region, the objects will have there will be no
shadows at that moment, because the sun is directly above the
object. However, if we're in the north northern hemisphere,
when the sun is at the zenith of the horizon, there is a slight
shadow. Okay, so that's the default shadow. Now you need to
add that length to the objects linked right to the object to know
that the hood is out. But anyway, in summary abstract is that the
shadow equals the length of the object. All right, and Anna for
maguet, one is negative in
to disappear. Good. So after the sun has already set, the instant
that you don't see the sun on the horizon anymore. Negative is in
negative is out when you can see any light on the western horizon.
If you could still see any light colors or anything on the western
horizon, where the sunsets Magnum is out in Asia is in remember,
motherhood is the only prayer that does not have an expanse of time,
in the actual prayer itself. So when you when mother comes in, we
are sinful If we delay not going to, whereas the hurt, there's an
expense of time you could pray and you're not sinful. But margutta
prayer, we're actually carry a sin If we delay if we do anything
besides prayer. When negative comes in. The prayer will still be
valid, but we're sinful for delaying it. Whereas in all the
other prayers it's merely frowned upon to delay the prep.
All right, prohibited times of prayer Lena.
Good after Fechin after Ossur these are the traditional times
that the pagans used to pray to the sun so the Prophet forbade us
to pray at that time. For causes of lesser ritual impurity Matt
arch
Anything that comes from the front or the back, plus a lot of blood
or vomit.
Sorry, not a lot of blood, just a lot of blood, if you lose a lot of
blood requires will do if you just lose a little bit of blood, it's
okay. But anything that comes from the front or the back brakes, your
will do. All right, number seven,
Miraj.
The answer to this, who knows the answer to this good loss of
consciousness through heavy sleep or fainting
lose we do there's only one type of sleep. There are two types of
sleep that don't cause you to lose your will do
the light sleep where you can actually still hear people, right
but you're asleep if you know that light sleep really light sleep.
That doesn't cause you to lose your will to also the middle sleep
sitting down. If you're sitting on a plane and you have a good sleep,
but not so heavy, right? Like you didn't sleep for two hours in a
row that light sleep or middle sleep sitting down you it's
impossible to lose your will do while sitting down even if you're
asleep so
that those are two exceptions.
The next one touching the male organ with the inside of the house
or entrance of fingers into female Oregon eight touching in what case
is touching her heel you know that's
good if pleasure is intended or derived. Okay. Pleasure is
intended or derived
three kinds of water.
All right. Who has the answer that let's go to Red Juana? Three kinds
of water
here
are two who so I gave you the kind Now you give me the description of
it.
What is the description of it?
Good and what's the condition of that?
Color? Or
taste smell? color and taste haven't changed. Okay, and this
discounts minerals, additions of minerals. Like you can might taste
like a type of tap water that are just that's the way the tap water
tastes Right? Or a mineral water. And that's just how the water
tastes that's that's discounted from here. Alright, number 10.
What's the name of that type of water?
Or the description of it?
The description
name
good. And in English what is
good. So what's the what's the real purpose of this breakdown of
water? That type of water what's the implication regarding the
prayer
goods good so if that water is on you, is your jacket is soaked with
it or your your clothes is soaked with that fluid. That is altered
taste, color and smell but there's nothing impure about it. Then you
could pray with that water on you or with that fluid on you. Okay,
someone has a big stain of coffee or milk or tea on his pants that
does not disqualify his prayer at all. In contrast to the net, just
water that's what makes our renders our prayer invalid. Okay,
you haven't adjusted on your clothes, skin or place of prayer,
that whole prayer is invalidated.
Now right let's go to seven obligations of will do in Kate
Miraj.
Say again the seven obligations of will do?
No
arms, fingers fingertips to arms that will be number 12 What's
number 11 The first thing that you have to do?
Intention good. You have to make the intention. See not all acts of
worship in Islam.
require intention. Right? Let's take an example what what act of
worship in Islam does not require your intention in order for it to
be valid. Does anyone know?
Well, you, you can make the intention that but you still have
to make the intention. There is an act. In Islam, there's one of the
pillars of Islam.
Close, very cool. Zika Zika is valid. Without intention, you
don't get you won't get rewarded. You might not get rewarded. But
it's valid. So what does that mean? How could you do something
without intention? Well, Zika if the state is a cat collector comes
to your farm every year, and and audits your animals for you.
Right? And let's say the farmhand shows him where all the animals
are. Then he looks at the chart and says, Okay, you have this many
camels, this many sheep, this many cows, this many goats. Alright,
then I need to take this, this, this and this, right? And then he
goes in, he takes them. And you come home that day. And you say,
Well, what happened today, and your farmhand tells you there's a
cat collector came and took this many sheets, and here's the
receipt. Right? You did not intend to give that as a car. Right? It's
still valid, right? You don't get the reward unless you intend it.
And you could retro intended, you could say, okay, good. So I intend
that to be for Allah sake. Right? But the point is that Zika is the
only pretty much I'm pretty sure it's the only act of worship, that
is valid without any intention. Okay, let's say you have a savings
account. And
it's basically set on auto, that whatever wealth has been there for
a year 2.5% is withdrawn after a year. Right? You can easily make a
software that does that, right? So you're a rich guy, and you don't
pay as a cat ever does a cat just comes out of your bank account,
right, like automatic deposit, or automatic withdrawal. You never
made any intention. But on the day of judgment, it counts that you
did it. Right, valid. So that's a cut. But we'll do requires
intention. face, arms, fingertips to arms, hair, wiping feet to
ankles, especially the heels.
What's number 13? Who knows?
This is not a body part.
Do I know those are also in this?
Okay, well that's continuity. That's good. That's there.
Rubbing.
Rubbing.
Why did the early Imams and the people of Medina say this? Right?
They said this to make sure that you got all of your body part.
Right? Let's say if your arms, you just run your arm under the tap?
How do you really know where the water got? Right? So you need to
actually move it there with your hand as you're doing your face. If
you just splashed the water on your face. How are you sure your
whole face got washed? You need to move it there with your fingers
with your hands.
All right, how to do TMO
who wants to raise your head and give this one?
You know, okay.
Two taps on the ground. Okay.
Okay, twice, rub your feet or once rub your face, it's sufficient,
then what? Then tap again, and then just do your arm.
Simple as that. And in this case, you do not need to make sure that
you got every inch, because this is symbolic. So TM, you're not
going to go and leave Tammam with a face covered in dirt. Right?
This is not the purpose of Tambu. So you're going to rub your hands
twice on the dirt, hit them together to make sure any big
parts come off, and then just gently rub your face. Now Tim can
also be done with Iraq, in which case, nothing will come on your
hands or on your face. In West Africa.
TMM is a very big deal, because these are nomads who go for for a
whole day without water several times a week. Right? And they'll
only be using the water for drinking. Right? And they have
permission by the Prophet peace be upon him. If your water is solely
for drinking make Tambu right so if you're a soldier, and you're
out there and you got that one little, you know, little key
canteen that they show in the Vietnam and the world war two
movies. Okay? You got that little canteen around your chests,
right? You're not gonna make will do with that water you die of
thirst, you drink and you make the Prophet peace be upon him said
that to the Companions. Yeah
Yes, it shouldn't be anything that the human being has come upon and
change for example a brick brick is just soiled mud that they
thought they cooked basically. Right? So we wouldn't use a brick,
you'd want to use something natural. Anything natural
Yeah, same thing. Let's say you're a soldier in the middle of the
desert or in the middle of the jungle and there's no water. And
you had a * that night. What are you supposed to do? You
make Tim? Yeah, that's it. TMO you can't carry TM from one prayer to
the next. So you can't make TM and say okay, I didn't go to the
bathroom. So I'm going to pray the next prayer to every prayer you
have to make Tamil and you cannot pray Joomla with Tamil, okay? The
reason being is that if you're praying Joomla you're in a massive
masjid, right? Or you're in a masjid with locals. If that's the
case, there should be water at hand. So Joomla is not accepted.
For with Tam.
Remember, Tam is not just the traveler who doesn't have water,
the sick, the ill, or someone who broke his leg who can't reach
water. Or if water is blocked by a dog or a lion or a bobcat. Or if
you're in a dangerous area, then you don't want to step out of your
car and go into the gas station. You're just scared for your life.
Okay, you can make to him. So everyone should have in their car.
You should have a bottle of water.
A straw mat, a soft mat. And why do you need a straw mat and a soft
mat? Because if it's wet out that little prayer mat that they sell
us, right? That's gonna get soaked. So you need a straw mat
and on top of that, put the regular prayer mat. Straw Man is
pretty rough. And then you need to get yourself something to you do
TM with right such as
in Mauritania, they go around carrying a rock. Okay, they'll
have a rock in their sach satchel, because they always come upon no
water.
Any other questions on Tammo?
All right, now let's go the four prohibitions on clothes. Okay.
Both genders clothes cannot be tight, tight. In other words,
showing the shape of a person's thighs and rear end and chest and
whatnot 15 It must not be what else
see through okay, cannot be see through material. It must not be
excessively bright, so as to attract attention. And of course,
this at this point is relative. If you go to Saudi Arabia, if a woman
in Saudi Arabia or Iraq or one of these places, maybe not Iraq, if
you go to if you're a woman and you're in Saudi Arabia, if you're
wearing navy blue, it's bright. Okay, because they all wear black.
If you go to the stores in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Gulf states.
I'm amazed at how these stores run businesses. You go to the stores,
the black, the full thing is called eBay. That's what they like
to wear. Black eBay, black eBay with the white stripe, black eBay
with white buttons, black eBay with red buttons, black eBay with
a little gold trim. It's all one type of garment that's just
adorned differently. That's their culture. If one if a Kuwaiti girl
or a Qatari girl right a local
wears anything besides a black obey this question was like, why?
That's just how their culture is. Right? Just like in America in the
West, most of the world. If a man goes to work without not wearing
pants, if you go to work in
if you if you go to corporate America in orange pants, or
anything besides black, navy blue, gray or brown pants, you're looked
at as odd, right? So that's how they are everything is black. So
it's culturally it's relative. Here it's it's different. You can
wear orange and it's not necessarily standing out. So
there's some cultural relativity there. Lastly, it must not have
what
holes close with holes was discussed early in the time of the
Prophet peace be upon him and also they add you can add to that holes
and noise making
beads or what have you set when you walk, you're making noise like
and attracting attention. So holes and anything that making noise or
whatnot, the PA,
what are those coordinates in called?
Oh, those those things, well, maybe those will pass, but some of
these clothes that have beads that are hitting against each other,
and making noise all the way down the aisle or something. So these
are prohibitions upon both genders
the imagery, we would say that such clothes with imagery is
probably frowned upon. And I would only venture to say that if it is
a full creature,
right or a human face, then a person should cover up for the
prayer. Right? So what is prohibited is the image
or the status of the full creature if it's just like a tiger face?
It's actually not for forbidden, forbidden or anything. If it's a
full animal,
then it's questionable. Definitely in the realm of statues, like in
the realm of statues, what's prohibited the statue that is a
full creature, like a complete horse. But if it's just the chest
and the face of a horse, that's not forbidden. Okay, it's frowned
upon.
Okay, so we should make the distinction between what's
forbidden and what's frowned upon what's forbidden is the complete
creature
either as it is as a statute. Okay. In terms of drawings, it's
frowned upon to have anything like that in in your prayer, and human
human images like Bob Marley smoking or weed or something.
Okay. Is
Devon is definitely it should be covered in the prayer.
People will get those
threads showing it's probably better not. Yeah, that's part of
clothes with holes, right clothes, with holes in them such that
I'm not looking at you, but I could see what kind of skin you
have under there. That's actually from the Forbidden character
categories. Okay. Speaking of T shirts, the name of Allah
on T shirts, verses of Quran on T shirts. Is it permissible is
permissible, however, there is something prohibited about it,
namely, going to the bathroom with it. Okay, sometimes you see the
Muslim Student Association of Colleges, they'll make a t shirt
and they'll put a verse of Koran on the back. Right? What do we
tell such students, you got to wear a sweatshirt over that when
you go to the bathroom, you cannot go to the bathroom with that
exposed on your T shirt. Right? And you can't sleep on the floor
with that exposed on your T shirt. Basically, we should stay away
from putting Koran everywhere. That could be disrespected.
Another thing that got popular in the past putting Bismillah R
Rahman r Rahim on your car, top of windshield or the back windshield
of the car. Well,
looks good. But birds could come and defecate on them. Right? So we
it's best to be avoided. Like your religiosity doesn't need to be
cheapened in that respect, all right, cheapen in that respect.
Okay.
Same thing as graves. If you have a gravestone, the gravestone
that's flat. Firstly, all graves, it's preferred. So no, the profit
is to make it flat, not to erect something tall. Why? Because a
it's a waste of money, the person is dead. Secondly, it makes class
distinctions. It makes for class distinctions. Okay. Now, in
contrast, though, the Ottoman government in the past they had
actually sponsored every graveyard. There was a type of
Tombstone, put on every graveyard, every man got a pillar and a hat
based on his profession, right, based on his profession. If a
woman had a profession, she got the hat to if she didn't have a
profession, she had a flower arose for every child that she had. So
in that case, it was equal. Everyone got a stone, but still,
for our purposes, the putting up stones, they create class
distinction and it's frowned upon.
If it's flat if it's Tombstone is flat and you have a wood or marble
thing, you also should not
Put a verse of Quran on it. Someone could walk on it, an
animal could come and walk on it a bird could could defecate on it.
It's just not the place for the divine word.
All right, let's go to to preconditions of the travelers
prayer.
Jessica, do you have the answer to this?
Or should we pass it to Raheel?
Raheel.
Okay, good. The journey has to pass 48 miles, and what's the
first part?
Good. The journey has to be for a permissible purpose. And you might
think, well, what is that? Well, of course, a journey could have an
impermissible purpose. A guy who's traveling down to Atlantic City to
gamble, right?
And you don't think this happens happens all the time. Many, many
Muslims think if you're gambling for pennies, at the small level,
then it's it's it's
Hello. Right? But we say no. If it's haram to gamble for 1000s of
dollars, it's also haram to gamble for pennies. It might not be as
harmful, but it is because it creates everyone. Today they know
that gambling is really a addictive behavior. So they get
you on the penny gambling, gambling for nickels and dimes.
You get addicted and then you go to the real thing. All right, last
thing soon as before and after the obligations. What's before fetch
or someone blurted out
to two to four before the hook what's after the hook.
We're talking all the sudden is not just a confirmed once, two to
four, two to four before awesome. What's after maghrib
two to six, two after Asia two to 10 A shefa. And then one as
winter.
Alright, good. Any questions before we move on to chapter 46?
All right, good. All right. Well, he'll read us read for us chapter
14.
