We praise Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
We send peace and blessings upon our beloved
Muhammad
upon his family, his companions, and those who
follow them until the end of time.
It's great again to be with Center DC
as we kind of march through,
this important introductory text,
into the Maliki School. It's great to see
everybody,
again, Alhamdulillah.
I just wanna go over a few things
because last week, honestly, I wasn't, I just
came off a trip, so I was sort
of out of it. There's some points,
that I wanna make sure we cover.
And you can find a a,
like, more
shinier recording of this
on my YouTube page.
I'm not saying better. I'm just saying shinier.
Masha'Allah. Shinier.
So we stopped at the chapter on salah.
And there's a few important points that need
to be made about
especially a madhab before we
jump into this. And there's one important point
that I think that is crucial.
And that is that, you know, it is
said that the reason
Americans
are
failing
in politics these days is because they no
longer look at politics from the lens of
policy,
but they look at politics through the lens
of identity.
I would add to that to say that
one of the mistakes of people who follow
a Medheb
is to restrict that medheb to only
a certain cultural
representation.
This is law.
It has nothing to do with any one
certain culture.
Whether it's Egypt, Saudi Arabia,
West Africa,
Pakistan.
That that actually is a grave mistake in
what that does when we restrict
the application of the MedHab and our understanding
of a MedHab to a certain cultural aesthetic,
then that limits our ability
to then synthesize that meth head into our
own communities,
into our own cultures.
This is something that I see sometimes
amongst some of our brothers and sisters
is that
a madhab is kind of presented
in a certain cultural way,
but this is law.
And very seldomly does law touch on issues
of culture.
Right? The majority of of of things that
you find related to law or perm, culture
are permissible.
So just as people are mistaken when they
look at politics
through the lens of identity.
Right? People also make mistakes when they look
at
Islam
through a culture
instead of looking at culture through the lens
of Islam especially law. Because law is something
that
has
throughout human history largely when it's successful been
divided from
creating kinda like cultural
superiority.
So just something for you to think about.
That's a that's a that's a discussion we
could have. Right? Of course,
at its own session. But I think that
especially for those of us who have embraced
al Islam,
we have to make sure that we think
about how do we then synthesize these things
into our given communities so that we can
be people as prophet said, Qariyaqomi,
my people.
How do I speak to my people?
The Sheikh he says, Rahim Muhola Foslofil Awkat.
And we talked about what Foslof means, it
means a section Awkat is the plural of
waqt which means times, the times of prayer.
He said,
That the preferred time of Zohr is from
the time the sun reaches its zenith
until your shadow is equal to your length.
There are 4 words I need us to
really think about,
before we jump into reading this quickly because
we already read this, but there's some things
that need to be said.
Number 1 is the word ada.
Ada means that I have performed the prayer
correctly.
That I performed it correctly.
The second word is al iyada. Iyada means
I performed a prayer but then I found
out that I had done something
that
either
compels me to repeat the prayer again
or is recommended for me to repeat the
prayer again. We're gonna talk about that maybe
in a second,
Depending on the school that you follow.
The third word is with
means
that I'm making a prayer
that I'm I missed its proper time to
pray.
So I
pray fajr after a sunrise.
That's
Qadah.
So these these three words,
I hope we can we can remember. Number
1, Al Adah. You can write it in
English right? To perform the prayer correctly.
Number 2,
from the same word as
from the same word as Eid are holidays
because holidays return.
So i'adah means like to return, to do
it again.
And then the 3rd
is Al Qadah.
You remember last week that we talked about
2 times of prayer in the Maliki school.
And means the time I have
I can delay their prayer a little and
I won't be sinning.
So for example, the time of Duhr is
from the time of the sunset, the sun
at a zenith, excuse me, till the shadow
was equal to my body length.
That's the time of Ikhtyar.
And Sheykh Abdulazaki asked me a question, why
doruri
you hooma?
I remember his question. He says, why does
it say that they both have a doruri?
Because the doroori time for Dhuhr
is going to be
the time that the shadow is equal to
my length until Maghrib.
We talked about that as well.
But what I forgot to mention
is that ada in the Maliki Madhab Fazuhr
is from the time that the sun
is at its zenith to Maghrib.
So different than what most of us know.
Before people get too excited
What that means is that I can pray
But if I for some reason
actually for no reason
delay
it till Duroi I'm a sinner
Even though it's still ada,
it's not qada.
So to wait till the Duroori time
and dourri is from the word darar which
means harm.
So I'm harming myself by not praying SubhanAllah.
I have no choice I have to obey
Allah
Azza Wa Jal.
If I reach to walk to Duroori without
a legitimate reason, what would be a legitimate
reason? You're in an exam at school,
you may be going through medical examinations
to check your health,
you may be scared
to pray
in a situation.
Younus brought up trying to watch, you know,
a slew of children.
So all those are kind of like what
are called Hajjat.
Legitimate reasons
to delay the prayer. As long as it's
not done
consistently as I talked about I believe last
week. I don't really remember so I'm just
going over things.
So if
I reach say Zohr
after Asar time and I'm stuck in an
exam or I'm giving a seminar and they
won't let me out, I'm not a sinner.
I prayed it's eda.
But if I'm so excited that Russell Westbrook
has joined the Los Angeles Lakers,
along with Carmelo,
and LeBron,
and AD.
And I'm like you know what man I
just cannot
miss this pre season game man.
So I delay Thor
into the
now this is sinful behavior.
Even though it's still edat.
And that's why he says, I believe
that everything outside of every prayer time which
is either
highly recommended
or you have to pray it, the times
outside of that are to make up the
prayer.
So, let me repeat this one more time.
In our madhab,
we have a time which we're allowed to
choose
we have the time that we are able
to choose when to pray. So for example
when
the sun reaches its zenith until my shadow
is equal to itself, I can delay the
prayer
because I have that time.
But if it's Asar time and I've delayed
till that time without a reason
then I'm sinful,
I'm negligent.
Allah says
don't be negligent.
If however I delayed it because of some
something happened
or some kind of pressing issue
not a necessity.
I am not a sinner but both of
them are considered eda.
If I were to pray zuhr after Maghrib,
would that be ada or qadah?
That will be a because I'm praying it
now
outside of the time,
outside of the
If I were to pray fajr
after I had
my fruit loops,
gluten free,
dairy free,
whole foods, Fruit Loop,
$85 box cereal
with lactose free milk at 10:30 in the
morning.
Would that be
That would be a qadah because I'm praying
it outside of its time.
So now that gives us kind of the
framework to look at the chapter. We're gonna
move through it quickly because we have a
lot to cover. We have like less than
35 minutes before Maghrib.
So I have a lot to do today.
The Sheikh, he says rahim muhola, but at
the same time someone doesn't need to feel
blameworthy.
Right? Like, sometimes things happen. You get caught
up in exam. You get caught up at
work. You have
sometimes I said when I first converted, sometimes
I had to join prayers because of my
family.
Right? It wasn't it wasn't,
not unsafe, but it just wasn't stable
for me to pray.
I used to pray outside, man, in the
backyard behind the wall.
So those kind of challenges people face. And
fiqh, mashAllah, one of the beautiful qualities of
fiqh is that it's malleable.
That it works with people.
It doesn't completely bend over because it does
demand responsibility,
but it does make efforts, alhamdulillah,
to facilitate.
That's very important. That's very very important to
know.
And I'm making sure my chat is open.
Excellent. And Freddie's grabbing us all dinner. Thank
you, Freddie.
So
he
says, right? That the the preferred the preferred
time to pray Duhr is from the sun
at a zenith till it's equal to my
shadow. Here's something to think about. I'm almost
6 foot 6, right? So my shadow is
long.
What if what if someone down the street
is 556?
Does he have to wait for my time
or do I wait for his time?
Like, we're not together,
but can I call him? He's like, I
just prayed the door. I'm like, dude, it
ain't Zohar yet.
My shadow's not equal to my length. Would
his Zohar still be accepted?
And we take a great axiom.
No he did it right. His shadows
aligns with his height and there's an important
axiom that comes from this
that fatwa can change according to people. There
you go, that's the axiom right there in
front of you. What if we're together
and we wanna pray Zohr, what do you
think we should do? So it's me and
a brother that's 56,
I'm almost 65 whatever,
and we gotta praise the Lord. What do
you think we should do?
We both we both we both we both
setting out to see the time. His shadow
is equal to his length, but my shadow
is still not there.
So what should we do?
We're together, we're together now.
Exactly. Wait until the tallest persons.
But if there is a mausala or gamet,
and
the calls the prayer.
You don't have to go to the and
be like, yo, how tall are you dog?
Right. That will be difficult. That will be
difficult. So it says,
Yeah.
There you go with the Amir, but that
would be why would they do that? The
Med Heb says you shouldn't, but why would
they do that? Like, why are you making
it hard on the person?
You know, I'm not I'm never gonna say
that. So I'm not gonna be boxed in
to having to say that. But I would
say stick with the emir. That's why you
have an emir when you travel.
Right. So the amir's decision is what we
stick with.
See that answer? No matter how tall he
is.
And
he says the time that's recommended to pray
Assar is that when
the shadow is the same as your body
length. So that means in the Maliki Medheb
that Asr and Lohur actually share a time.
Although there's a difference opinion on this is
massive,
but,
you you find it talked about in the
Medheb.
Well, dorori yuhumayilalhurub
and the dorori time for dhor and Asar
is until sunset.
So right now if I hadn't prayed Asar,
you you know, I should pull away from
the class, go pray.
I'm not allowed to to to delay it.
And the time for Maghrib, as we talked
about before, the muhtar is the time it
takes to pray Maghrib along with the conditions
needed to prepare for prayer, meaning wudu or
using the restroom.
Unless someone camps out in the restroom,
right? That's not a good thing. Like to
hang out with the gens,
Hey, that's their business.
Right? But ideally, the normative time it would
take someone
to perhaps alleviate themselves, make will do it
and pray.
After that is
And once the redness is gone from the
sky, you have the of
Maghrib of Isha, excuse me, until the 1st
3rd of the night.
And after the 1st 3rd of the night,
the the Maghrib and the isha adururi
until fajr
until subah.
Then the Sheikh he says because maybe someone
reads this and like, oh wow I can
just like delay prayers and you know just
have a free for all. One of the
challenges of of this age is that people
say God is love and then when they
say God is love they say that's why
God doesn't care about haram and halal
and God doesn't care about, you know, obedience.
But that's the subtle form of idolatry. That's
not you that's not God loving you, that's
you loving God.
And there's a difference between being in love
with someone or loving someone.
And the love of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
as mentioned we talked about this a few
years ago in a class we did on
Bound by God over Sidi Zalruks text,
the love of Allah
when I say I love Allah I am
now agreeing to certain conditions
to obey him
and to follow his commands as best I
can.
Say if you love Allah follow me.
So this is kind of a new age
religion thing which for me is once again
kind of a bastion of like self idolatry.
That I'm so in love with God that
I can tell God what God's love means
to me.
That's what one of the old heads used
to call Islam or Harslam.
They used to tell us from the Dara,
man, the brothers from Dara used to say,
be careful of Islam and her Islam.
It's Islam.
So the sheikh he says
We talked about this last week, so no
need to go over it again. And there's
a video that has more detail on my
YouTube page
where the
the recommended time, the preferred time of Fajr
is is
after the sun has you see the line
of the sunset across the horizon this is
Fajr As Sadiq
until you start to see that light in
the sky and after that
is what's called a doroori until
the sun rises.
The sheikh he says, woman
Whoever delays the prayer
until the time of prayer is out
that person what he means
right whoever delays their prayer without a legitimate
reason
and there is a great sin.
Unless the person is asleep
or the person has forgotten and we talked
about other exceptions, a person is
scared, a person under duress.
I would include like I got a job.
You know this happens sometimes with brothers and
sisters that are illegal
man. We don't talk about the fiqh for
the people who are under DACA. They have
in many ways their own fiqh.
For example, if they ask I even saw
people work for Muslims have this problem. If
they ask time off to pray, they would
fire them.
So they would be forced sometimes at convenience
stores and gas stations
and other places to actually have to join
the prayers.
Someone asked what about going to a
a protest?
Does going to a protest count
as a reason to join the prayers?
The answer is no.
And if you think about it, I'm engaged
in physical protests but I can't protest shaitan.
Ideally, right? I'm engaged in a protest against
injustice but I can't even establish salah to
oppose the injustice of my heart.
So there is a contradiction there that's very
problematic
in most situations.
In most situations.
Someone asked what if I can't find water?
It's not possible? Make Tayamu.
And Alhamdulillah Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala in the Quran
he says about those people in jihad,
When you meet the army of your enemies,
pray.
So if there is a salah for people
on the battlefield,
my goodness.
What about those of us walking with some
Gatorade, man, some sea salt,
Appalachian sea salt in our water to keep
our electrodes going.
We can't pray.
And that is not the the tradition of
an Abdul Azak. He's coming out of this
tradition. He can chime in on us. This
is not the way of our spiritual ancestors
in this country.
Right, Sheikh?
They were about praying.
You can feel free to chime in. The
old heads in this community,
I remember a brother subhanAllah
who had a heroin problem.
And he was the teacher of my teacher.
And I asked my teacher,
Sheikh Abdulrahman Busir, may Allah bless him. He's
now almost 85.
How did
how did you learn to pray because when
you first become Muslim this is hard, right?
I said how did you become how did
you habituate 5 prayers?
He said, man, I had a brother that
was my friend who taught me how to
pray who was addicted to heroin.
And the reason I knew that he wasn't
high is because it would be during the
times of prayer, during the day.
And he used to say the only time
I shoot heroin is at night because I
have to establish salah. Allahu Akbar, man.
What about
nowadays?
I just wanna play the new NBA 2
ks dude, I can't pray bro.
Like compare that to those who came before
us. If you look at the letters of
Malik Shabaz
to his followers, what does he tell them
to learn how to do?
Pray.
Learn to say the prayer properly.
And then when you read about the slave
revolts in Bahia, Brazil
of those Sufi sheikhs from Senegal and Gambia,
what is it that they would do
to keep their sanity, man,
is salah.
I remember Sheikh Abdelkrim Zayden. Man, he's one
of the great great scholars of the last
20 or 30 years, Rahim O'Houllah. He has
a great book called Usur'u Da'wah,
and he came to the United States in
the mid nineties.
And I remember I met some brothers who
had just met him.
And though I don't know if people remember
that book, Hiznul Muslim that used to be
given out free with all like the duas
and prayers
that you could learn. So I had that
book
and I was saying to one of the
brothers, like, man,
it's hard to remember all these.
These little, like, supplications that we make in
the evening, in the morning. He said, SubhanAllah,
Sheikh Abdul Kim Zayden,
when we were at the Masjid
before Asar and after Fajr he would sit
and be alone. And then one day we
were like just goofing around and having fun
and then he said to us, Do you
know what like I do every day?
They said what? He said, I make the
morning and evening remembrances.
And and he was in his eighties. These
were guys who were, like, our age in
their twenties at that time. And he said,
what's weird to me is you guys feel
like you don't need this.
I'm just visiting your country and I'm in
my eighties and I feel overwhelmed
by the, you know, the power of America.
And he said, like, I'm 80. You know,
I mean at 80, your enoughs are sorta
in check because you got 1 foot in
the grave.
But he was like, you guys,
you're still in your twenties.
Like, you're still,
an, you know, electric company. You know, you
still got a lot of zeal. And he
was like, I feel like in this country,
like I need Ibadan
more than I need the country.
And one of the dangers of being young
in the West
is the nomenclature of the West at a
cultural level,
at an entertainment level,
at a leisure level
is violently
tipped towards anti godness.
And the the idea of things not being
sacred.
Everything's a joke.
So when we talk about salah,
we have to remind ourselves like, yo, I
need this, man.
So that brother told me he learned to
pray 5 times a day because the brother
he was with would never miss salah
and in fact, that's how he began to
slowly weighing himself
off of a heroin addiction.
That's the Quran.
Salah will keep you away from bad stuff
if
I make salah a priority
and that's why we see over and over
and over again Sayyidina Umar al Mulkhatab
in his letters to people. What does he
always say? Arabicum bis salah, Arabicum bis salah.
Established a prayer, established a prayer, established a
prayer.
Whoever looked after his prayer and guarded it
has looked after and protected his or her
religion.
And whoever allows their prayer to be lost
then they have lost themselves.
And Allah says
in
the
Quran
I'm with you
as long as you pray.
I am there for you as long as
you turn to me. And Allah warns us
of those generations who neglect prayers.
Then there came after them a group of
people who lost a prayer.
We ask
So the Sheikh he says,
If the entire Ummah established a salah,
there will be no global warming.
If the entire Ummah established salah, there will
be no dictators in a number of some
world.
Insha Allah,
if entire Ummah established salah,
the entire world will be a very different
place. Read the book of Abu Hassan Nadawi,
What the world lost with the fall of
the Muslim mean?
What the world lost when the Muslims
allowed themselves to be
removed from positions of authority.
Then he says
and no one should pray nafil
after
which we know as fajr, until the sun
rises.
And after Asr till Maghrib, nobody should pray
based on the hadith of the prophet about
this being the time of the shaitan.
And no one should pray after fajr except
for the person who needs to pray what
they normally pray at night. So let's say
for example someone prays tahajjud like
for
you know a number of months, they start
to pray in the night and then one
day they miss it, they can make up
that miss tahajjud and witter after fajr prayer.
That's what he means by wird.
The word wird actually is from a word
like wird
which actually means
a measurement of water that is needed to
live in the desert for a day. That's
called wird.
Weirdulmaa.
So the idea here is that a person
performs enough Ibadah
and enough dhikr
to preserve themselves in the desert of the
dunya during the day.
That's why it's called weirdo Quran
and the weird of thikr
And I used to say to my students,
in English.
I used to say to my students, if
you don't
regularly observe the weird, you become weird.
Weird.
You become weird.
And we talked about when the Imam sits
on the mibbar in the madhab,
a person shouldn't pray. We know there's a
lot of discussion about this.
And someone should not pray nafil in the
masjid after Jum'ah until they leave. Although he
said there are differences about this. Number 1,
it's only for the imam.
Number 2, it's for people who are not
gonna sit in the masjid or stay in
the masjid. Then we added to this nowadays,
most people going back to work.
Right? So this is a kind of a
different situation.
Then the sheikh he says
he
says that if you pray
outside of the or the time or out
of their
or times or Maghrib or Isha outside of
their ikhtiyyah or dorori times, this is kada.
And at that point when you make that
prayer, you have to have the for kada.
So I I have that in my heart
that I'm observing kada of this certain prayer,
that I missed.
Nam.
Then he then he moves on to shorut
al salah. The word sharut actually is from
a word which means
something whose its absence demands the absence of
an act.
Meaning like wudu,
wudu is a shard of salah.
If I don't have wudu,
there's no prayer,
but if I make wudu that also means
prayer doesn't have to happen.
So this is called a condition.
And in the
we have 3 types of conditions. Number 1,
obligatory
To observe, for example, like the zenith of
the sun.
For example,
being
an adult coming into an adulthood,
that's beyond my ability, That's called shorl to
wajub.
For example, Islam, why? Because Islam is beyond
your ability.
SubhanAllah I didn't guide myself Allah guided me
to Islam
Allah says you didn't do any favors by
being Muslim and you didn't guide yourself Allah
guided you.
So Islam is actually
We'll talk about that maybe in the future.
So the first type of conditions are those
I have to observe, but they're beyond my
ability. The second are those things I have
to observe that I can do what's called
shorutu seha, and shorutu seha is related to
the act being accepted.
So, we'll do for salah facing the Qibla
covering my aura.
So the sheikh he says
some of the conditions of prayer is to
be physically
meaning ritually pure, right?
Based on the hadith of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam
Allah will not accept a prayer of any
of you if you
break your purity until you make
and Allah says,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
said if you came from having sexual relationships
with your wife, you should
purify yourself.
If you can't find any water then make
Tayamom so now we see the three forms
of Tahalat,
Al Hadithasugra,
Walqubra,
Wanaiba'inhuma,
right. Wudu, Husu, and Tayamum that's why we
talked about them before.
Khalas that's the first condition.
But for somebody let's say somebody who makes
wudu and they have a prosthetic
problem,
prostate problem, excuse me, or they have a
like earlobe bowel syndrome.
So in that situation they're unable to stay
pure,
right? In that situation
that person just prays.
So let's say the person makes wudu, it's
time to pray, they go to the masjid,
the is about to be called and they
experience something that's beyond
their ability, physically, that breaks their wudu, they're
exempted.
We talked about this at the very first
or second class, that what is beyond the
ability of a person is usually
the obligation of that is removed.
The same thing with
that the area around you should be pure.
But there's a point to be made in
the
That the hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam related by Abu Dawood.
That a person Abdullah ibn Omar says the
prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam said we're not
allowed to pray like on dung hills or
in the Madbaha,
you know, the slaughterhouse
or the hamam.
The madhab says, Meaning
that it's not you have to you'll be
your prayer won't be accepted it's dislike to
pray in that place.
Why is that important? I talked when I
read Al Aziyat to Sheikh Mostafa years ago,
Al Azharih.
And I told him we have sometimes converts
they have to pray in the restroom.
I said, but you know the restroom could
be like dirty.
He said, yeah, but think about what Ibn
Arafa is a great scholar said
I don't wanna make too hard for people
but meaning when you purify a place to
pray it means the place where your limbs
are touching.
SubhanAllah.
So that person can actually pray in a
place like that if they ensure that their
knees and their hands and their face and
their feet are not touching something which is
filthy.
See, see, hear something. That's important for people
to know
especially sometimes you gotta do what you gotta
do when you pray at work
or you're at home or at school,
we've all been in those situations.
Right? So Chabath is purifying the area around
me, my clothes, and so on and so
forth.
Right? To cover my private parts and for
a man and the man have his private
parts are from his belly to his knee.
And for women, nakedness is everything except her
face and her hands.
And to face the Qibla notice in the
Quran Allah says,
So to Baqarah
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says that turn your
face shutter the word shutter means nusf,
half.
Alhamdulillah, Allah didn't say
Allah
didn't say turn your face directly to the
Kaaba.
And also this verse is a proof of
prophecy
that the Ummah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam will move beyond a localized
community
to an international one.
If the verse said,
that means that there's no like
for Islam. There's no universal message just
It's just for the people of Mecca.
But Allah says,
What does that mean? From
here, if this is the Kaaba right? From
here
to here.
If I can't see the Kaaba, Alhamdulillah
I have this kind of
leeway Alhamdulillahi
rubbilalamin.
Although now with the apps and everything,
Ruben Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has made it
so much easier for all of us but
it's like a nice point the taisir,
the facilitation of Islam
in establishing acts of worship.
And not to talk.
And we take this from the hadith of
Jubeirah ibn Martim who when he became Muslim.
Masha Allah and Sahih Muslim.
It was right before Azar prayer and the
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wa'arihi Wa Sahih Wasallam
he
taught him to say, You're hamak Allah if
somebody sneezes.
That's the first thing he learned. Then we
know that when we first become Muslim Masha'Allah.
The first thing we learn Alhamdulillah,
we get excited about Masha'Allah.
So they started to pray Asr
and this is also proof that the ghusl
is
not an obligation for a new Muslim because
he joined the Asr prayer without ghusl.
He mimicked someone else's wudu.
And then he joined the prayer and somebody
sneezed and then he yelled, Yal Hamakkalah.
And nobody responded to him. So he became
angry. He said, What's wrong with you? You're
hamak Allah, you're hamak Allah. He started screaming.
Then he said, your mother should have miscarried
all of you. Your hamakkumullah.
How
does that work? May Allah have mercy upon
you, your mother should have miscarried you. It's
brutal man. Then he said, they started to
beat their knees and I knew they were
telling me to be quiet and then they
turned
and like kinda looked at me like this
and I got quiet and then afterwards the
prophet salAllahu alaihi wasalam after the salami he
said, who
said it?
He got scared.
Here's the new Muslim.
How do we treat new Muslims who are
learning or people who are struggling to learn
new things? How do we treat them? He
said,
He said, I never saw anybody nicer than
him.
He didn't insult me.
He didn't hit me. He didn't even He
said the Prophet didn't even go like this
to him.
And he said,
That this salah people are not allowed to
talk,
it's only to say SubhanAllah
Alhamdulillah
Illa Illa Hilalah.
Maybe we have some new Muslims here
Mashallah we're so happy to have you Mashallah
And they don't
they have not yet learned
what to say in salah. And of course,
it's very intimidating.
A man he came to the Prophet alaihis
salatu salam. This hadith is authentic.
And he brought up this matter to the
blessed Messenger alaihi salatu wasalam and the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, Anyone from amongst you
who doesn't have pira'a mean they don't know
how to pray a property, Fahmatilla
should say Alhamdulillah
or SubhanAllah
or La ilaha illallah.
So those new brothers and sisters that are
coming into the religion
or brothers and sisters who've come back to
the religion and maybe Arabic is not their
language and they struggle
initially you can teach them to say Alhamdulillah
SubhanAllah
La Illa Hillel Allah.
Khalas, this hadith is a good hadith.
Nasayikh he says, The other condition of salah
is that you leave off a lot of
movements.
With speech he said, Absolute no speech, Right?
Except what we say in prayer, of course.
But with movements, he said a lot because
there are some times when someone may be
praying especially we know if we have toddlers
where you had to make some moves.
One time, SubhanAllah, I was in Oklahoma. Here's
a Oklahoma story.
And I was praying asar in my mother's
house,
my brother's old room, Allahu
Akbar.
I'm praying, right?
Next thing I know man, I see a
snake
right in front of me like this.
Do you think I said,
oh wow, I'm non confrontational
burning my
awesome cool
chipotle smelling incense in my hemp based thobe
and my,
you know, organic made turban.
Man, I grabbed a broom and took that
snake straight to Jahannam where it belongs.
That's a dangerous snake, man.
Before anybody gets upset, that wasn't one of
those cute snakes on The Brady Bunch.
This was the snake on Knight Rider
or MacGyver.
This is the snake that will kill you.
So Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.
So I had to move. Actually, I had
to make my prayer up again.
But there are times when I've been praying
and my daughter decides to like, you know,
let me eat the roach
repellent
or let me go outside.
Right? And then you kinda gotta.
That's allowed. What's the evidence for this?
Say that Aisha said the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam,
Someone put note to self, Oklahoma is off
limits.
I love and one time I got bit
by a fiddleback spider in St. Jude.
Oklahoma's crazy, man.
Never going back there. I'll take the rats
in New York City any day
or in DC over the spiders and snakes
in Oklahoma.
But, and I know we don't have much
time. I think we have to either start
later or something man because we gotta get
this done.
But there are times in the Hadith of
Sayyidina Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallallahu Alaihi Wa
Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam
Saydai Aisha said he was praying at night
and he would move into sujood, he will
push my leg out of the way.
So there's evidence that movement is allowed in
salah and touching your spouse doesn't break your
wudu.
And the aura of a man is from
his belly to his
knee.
And the woman, her entire aura, her nakedness
is everything except her face and hands.
What are the evidences for this the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sakhi wasallam said about men
that you should not look like at the
thigh of a living or dead man.
Alayhi Salatul Salaam.
What are the evidences that a woman should
wear hijab? And I understand this is unfortunately
now a controversy, at least this is not
there's no controversy amongst Islamic
community, Islamic law throughout history. This is a
relatively new thing.
And that's because we are
forced as a community
to be authorized by sinners.
Right? The West compels us to be ordained
societally
and publicly by people who do not adhere
to our religion,
And that puts us a lot of that
puts a lot of pressure on us, man.
So, acceptance is going to be and Allah
says
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said, do never, never
obey the ones who are negligent of us
and have forgot us, but that's what we
are. In order to be popular,
how do I have to act?
In order to be accepted,
It doesn't also mean I'm like hardcore going
off on people. No. But even at some
greater levels, I will leave certain vestiges of
the religion
agreed upon principles
over a 1000 years.
In the name of anti colonialism and decolonialism,
I'm going to reject the ulema and the
scholars, but isn't colonialism about rejecting ulama and
scholars?
Isn't that contradictory?
So in order to remove white supremacy from
my life, I'm going to reject the ulama
who for the majority of the main white.
That's
a blatant contradiction, that's postmodernity.
So if we look at every single madhab
of Sunni Islam, hijab is photobed.
I don't think we should go around and
bully women also, that's another issue, right? But
if you ask, you have to say this
is the opinion,
it's not easy, women are, I don't have
to wear hijab, I understand that, Completely get
it
as best I can as a man. My
job is to support and encourage people. People
that have studied with me, people in my
community, I don't go around and hijab people
at the door.
But is it far? It's far.
What's the evidence to process
Allah will not accept the prayer of a
menstruating person, woman here
unless she's in the word means to cover.
To cover.
And that's why it's called hamar.
Hamar is alcohol
because hamar metaphorically covers her brain.
The chimar
literally covers the head.
Someone asked, does that mean that men are
allowed to go outside without a shirt as
long as their belly is covered? From here
to here, Like
in the Like in the time of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam there were people who
prayed because they didn't have enough clothing,
even their showed.
But again, we don't have to identify our
relationship with Allah vis a vis other genders,
that again is another construction of the west.
I identify my relationship with Allah based on
what the text tells me,
and that's that's my problem with the nomenclature
and epistemological
framework of the west is that it compels
us to do religion through a 1000000 different
lenses instead of doing those lenses through religion.
And maybe somebody says, but there is a
component of patriarchy in religious interpretation.
Absolutely.
That needs to be unpacked.
That needs to be criticized.
That needs to be rightfully looked at, but
we don't throw the entire religion out the
window.
That deconstructive
moment is
really an action if you will, an extension
of the colonial mentality.
And also the hadith in Sahih al Bukhari
where the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said to
Saudah bin Zama
when there was a debate about who her
family was,
And there was a doubt about this child.
Was it her relative or not?
Even though the prophet ruled that that child
was her relative, he said
Tajib is a command you must cover in
front of him.
Somebody says I don't accept Bukhari, that's okay,
but then you're not Sunni,
you're who you are, That's fine. You could
be who you wanna be. I I I'm
not gonna get into an argument with you.
I'm not gonna force you.
I don't believe in that. People go through
different phases. I still love you. I don't
agree with you. I still respect you. It's
all good,
But orthodoxy is clear.
The path of orthodoxy is clear.
We can be compassionately
orthodox.
We don't have to be intimidating,
but the hadith is very clear.
Then we look at the interpretation of the
early Muslim women of the verses of the
Quran.
Those three verses we find in the Quran
about hijab, how did they implement those verses?
How did they how did
they implement those verses? And the same thing
with men. We see sometimes young brothers
showing they chest, showing they abs instead of
worrying about your 6 pack abs worry about
the 5 pillars bro.
Brother wants to show his show his 6
pack, put it on one of the dating
apps.
That's foolishness, man.
You can expect women to adhere
to your understanding of
what's proper when you don't have any limits
yourself.
I remember man, the OGs used to tell
us wear a kufi, even wear a kufi
to work, wear a kufi to school, wear
a kufi everywhere brother. And we used to
say, why Sheikh? Let me not be a
hypocrite here. And we used to say, why
Sheikh? And he said, because you need to
feel a drop of what it feels like
to be a sister.
We're like, what do you mean? They said
sisters, most of the sisters who wear hijab,
they don't have a choice to take it
off.
But you guys, when you take off your
your kufi,
I'm William from Oklahoma who kills snakes and
spiders.
So I always appreciated
that about our early community
that they had us
wearing kufis
everywhere we went.
And I forgot this may Allah forgive me
just now
remember those moments
and and what did the Sheikh say to
us? That this you getting looked at, you're
gonna feel strange, people may not talk to
you, you may not have the same social
utility
that you think you would with your gel
and your fresh Ryan Gosling looking haircut,
but you will experience
a drop of what it's like to be
a Muslim out in the west.
And we need to talk about how young
brothers and old brothers are not covering their
with the same passion
and honesty and integrity when we go off
on a diatribe about women.
That's not that's not appropriate.
So we see brothers
that are carrying themselves in the wrong way
a
lot. That needs to be addressed too.
But we don't craft our identity
through the western prisms of I am this
and you're not this. No. I craft my
religion
through God has commanded me to be his
servant.
And what does it mean for me to
be a servant to Allah?
As understood
by
balanced mainstream scholarship.
Understand but I just need to keep going.
So people who need to pray I'm a
roll with a Hambly
Maghrib time today
but or the Jaffari time,
and people asking can you talk about that
time to pray soba? I already talked about
that
in the beginning.
But be a ally to your sisters, man.
Right? And and formulate your allyship
through observing your deen
in that way.
So that now there's an affinity for one
another. It's not easy, man. You talk to
some people
who have to
observe certain practices like hijab.
They go through a lot of mistreatment and
we're not there to support each other as
a community.
And number
there's a lot to say about that but
we need to hurry and finish.
Then he says
What that means is a dislike for you
to pray as a man just in a
pair of pants with your shirt off. The
question was asked earlier. And the salaweeel actually
are like MC Hammer pants.
Remember MC Hammer pants? Kinda like the in
Pakistan.
Right?
Those wide awesome super roomy pants
that you can tie up to here you
gotta use a toothbrush to pull the rope
out, OG style,
that
is
unless the person
has
they're wearing something over themselves
except all of our fasting.
Ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala be Barakat Siya
Amina Insha'Allah,
and You Fada
We ask Allah by this fasting Alhamdulillah
to accept all of our fasting
and to
make this a
for brothers and sisters in Afghanistan
and Algeria
and other parts of the world. But specifically
now we think about
SubhanAllah,
so many people in Afghanistan and the challenges
that they're facing. And no one's talking about
climate change in Afghanistan and how it's impacted
farming there.
So if I'm praying without a shirt
and I have my MC Hammer pants on
in Haiti, thank you.
I was listening to someone today saying that
in Haiti man,
the hospitals
are in
like shipping containers.
And I did a fundraiser 2 days ago
for Haiti SubhanAllah Need to post it again.
And you know, if you wanna study the
disaster of imperial aid
under the guise of NGOs,
just look at the last 25 years in
Haiti man, what America and other countries have
done to Haiti
man.
So we ask Allah
And for somebody who only has dirty clothes
and they can't find any other clean clothes
and they can't find any water to clean
those clothes and they're worried that the time
of prayer is gonna go out, they should
pray.
Takdim Al Maqasida Alawasaiyin.
We talked about this before.
And it's not allowed to delay the prayer
because they don't have tahara.
No, I have to make tahara and pray
on
on.
Has disobeyed Allah
And if somebody cannot find and we talked
about some of the sahaba, they didn't have
enough clothing to cover themselves but they still
had to pray.
Imam Manawi has a very hypothetical situation in
Al Majmon. He says somebody goes to pray,
goes to take a bath in the river,
and then somebody
takes their clothes.
And the time of salah is going out
what should you do? He say he should
pray in the water, the water is his
clothes.
Somebody asked how can I study the Maliki
Medheb? That's what you're doing right now.
That's like eating food and saying yo I
need to eat some food but you're eating
food right now.
Every Thursday, hamdulillah,
7 o'clock PM
Eastern Time. And you can find all the
recordings on my YouTube page, Introduction to the
Maliki Medheb
with amazing, fun, super interesting questions from our
Center DC friends.
Gosh darn it.
It's amazing.
Then he says,
And whoever
mistakenly
prays the wrong direction
they should repeat the prayer. It's recommended to
repeat the prayer they don't have to. For
kulul iyada fardila. We have a very important
axiom that anything that falls under repeat
is like
it's it's a meritous act.
In the time,
So I still have time to make up
for it. So let's say at the beginning
of Asr, I prayed the wrong direction then
later on, I found out I prayed the
wrong direction and it's still that Asr time.
Right? I can it's recommended for me to
do.
That's why he says,
as I just said.
If we can just take a few minutes,
my apologies.
Just to
talk about the obligatory
condition The integrals of prayer. What are called
Farahidu
al Salah.
I'm reading Al Akhtari.
Farahidu
al Salah.
It's a basic text that I'm like, oh
man, this is someone asked, are you reading
the Muwata? Man.
That's high level stuff.
I'm just here
at the grassroots.
Sorry, Uzema, if you can just give me
like 5 minutes or so. That's okay.
Yes sir.
Hold on, let me grab my Bismillah, one
more baba.
So what's understood from the text is
any time after that Ikhtyar is Dourori.
Right? So he mentions the Ikhtyari time of
Fajr. You see it, that's what I mentioned
earlier.
Anything after that until sunrise
is Drori.
It's inferred.
Nah, great question, man. Great question. The Sheikh
he says
What is Fora? It mean also integrals, integrals
of prayer.
And one of my teachers is now in
prison in the Egypt, Mellah, free him Alhamdulillah.
Never had a trial, never been charged but
just sits in prison. Had COVID in prison.
He's almost now 70 years old.
And not involved in anything, man. He's just,
you know, just a teacher, man.
He said to me that you know the
difference between
conditions
and Fara'id is that conditions happen outside of
the act. The fara'id or Mahiyat al Amal
happen in it.
So the fara'id of salah are those things
that happen
inside
inside the actual
act itself.
So the first is my intention, and when
I make the intention it has to be
for the specific fard prayer I'm praying.
So at Maghrib I, I intend, Usali salat
al Maghrib
lillahi alzawajal, for example. I pray Maghrib for
God. So in my heart I have it
in English.
Or Fajr.
I am praying Fajr for a subh. There's
no problem in the titles. I'm praying subh
for Allah, Khalas, that's in my heart.
So
What's the evidence for that?
Every action is by intention.
Right? That I have been commanded to
worship Allah sincerely.
The second
is the opening takbir. In the have
we make takbir with our thumbs by our
ears.
Is it called taghbirah to Ihram?
Why is it taghbirah to Ihram? Because it's
like the Ihram and Hajj.
Because when we make ihram and hajj, we
make things forbidden for us that we're allowed.
And when I say
for salah,
and put my hands here or here however
you do it,
I'm making things haram on me that were
allowed.
That's why it's
called That's why the prophet said
right? That you open the the the key
to prayer is purification.
And now what puts me in a state
of prayer
is what?
Allahu
Akbar.
The word Akbar
is a superlative.
It's called
and usually you say it like
with what's called tamiz.
I usually bring a noun after it to
show
what I'm comparing it to. So if I
said,
I have more
property than you. Property, right?
I have the most
property.
I can say I am the most tall
in body size.
But if you think about it here in
the tafbir it says, Allahu
Akbar and it doesn't mention anything
Because nothing can be compared to the greatness
of Allah SubhanAllah.
For Allahu Akbar means kulli shayi.
So when you say,
Allahu Akbar and when you say, Allahu Akbar,
you should gain confidence in yourself, why?
Because you just admitted
Masha'Allah
that Allah is greater than your nafs,
greater than anything that tried to keep you
from salah,
greater than anything they tried to distance you
from his
And that's why outside of the Madhub you
have Dua Ul Istiftah.
Means the supplication of looking for fat, an
opening
because when you say
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave you an opening,
a victory.
Allah said to the Prophet we gave you
a great victory.
Now what's the victory?
Allahu
Akbar
on my nafs,
on shaitan,
on anything that tried to keep me from
worshiping Allah
That takbir, that first takbir is we
have an axiom in the Methheb,
every takbir
except the
first takbir
is sunnah,
is sunnah.
And you should be standing when you make
the takbir, why? Because the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam said,
Pray standing.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
The Maliki's do not have
because the chain of narration that reached Imam
Malik was weak.
Although Sayidna Imam Atirmidi
narrates Duaal Istiftah the opening supplication
from Saydna Amaral Nukhattab
with a chain which is Hassan.
So the Malekis we
and reading
and standing while you're reading it if you
can,
Because the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, There's
no salah without Fatiha. Although we know Sayyidina
Wa'Imam Al Azam Abi Hanifa,
they differ on this issue. And as we
mentioned before for someone who's a new Muslim
or someone who doesn't have the ability to
speak or somebody that has cognitive challenges, there
are dispensation for them
that we talked about earlier.
Means to bend down like this.
And then to raise from because
Allah says in * Hajj,
and also the famous hadith of the prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam
where he taught the men how to pray.
What did he tell him?
Kabir, right? Say Allahu Akbar,
didn't recite from the Quran, this is the
evidence for the Hanafis by the way Sheikh
Abdul Razak, they say he didn't tell him
you have to read Al Fatiha, he said
Quran
Read what's easy for you. Some people respond
to say because this guy is new,
right? He doesn't necessarily have all that whatever
he knew of Quran it may not have
been Fatiha.
So it's like an interesting back and forth
on this issue.
And then he told him
There is a narration by the way, he
says read Fatiha.
Then make Ruku and then raise from Ruku.
The next is sujood.
Is here,
his facial area,
my hands,
my kneecaps,
and my feet.
There's a difference of opinion on certain things
but I'm just making it as easy as
I can.
Because Allah says wasjudu
and the prophet said to him, then
make sujud.
And this is a order.
And the Prophet says
pray as you see me praying, that's how
the Prophet prayed. Sallallahu
alaihi
wa sallam.
Well, yeah, tidal means that when I come
from ruku
and in Ruku,
and coming from Ruku, like, I'm, you know,
I'm straightened out.
I'm not like,
this is not interval training, man.
Means that in each movement of the prayer
when I stop,
I I experience like tranquility.
And to follow the right order. It's followed,
of course. When I first became Muslim I
thought you started in sujood.
I was like man, why they start standing,
they got it wrong. I was like, oh
I have to learn this.
And Imam Al Ishmael
says,
to say,
not or
salaams,
right? But to say
And to be sitting why I'm saying Assalam
because that sitting the the the amount of
time and this submission in Ishmael's text also.
The amount of time it takes me to
say salaam is what that last and final
sitting that's the link that has to be
at a at the minimum.
So let's go through these obligations of prayer
quickly before we let everybody go.
Number 1 is yes sir?
So so,
yeah. Let me answer the first question if
you don't mind. So the first question is
that in that situation right where someone's holding
a baby, they can sit and they can
stand.
Now if we're talking about the person that
had the baby, that's a different issue. They
may not be able to sit and they
not may able be able to stand, especially
if they tore during birth.
But to make it as simple as possible,
if I can physically stand, and if I
can physically
sit, I have to.
Khalas.
Yeah. What's this?
If you're praying in jama'a, the imam, you
should say it out loud if you're praying
by yourself, you say it out loud enough
you
hear it. You can hear it yourself.
So is the takbir to ihram do you
have to say it out loud? You should
say it to the point you can hear
it.
And if there's people praying with you, they
should hear you. The other question is can
people start standing and then sit? It depends
on a person's physical ability. So if I
have the physical ability to stand but I
don't have the physical ability to go and
seduce and sit, then I can sit on
a chair. And the opposite, even though it
sounds strange,
have seen this where I don't have the
physical ability to stand but I have no
problem bending down, making sujudice and suddam. Khalas,
alhamdulillah.
What about women that are super pregnant? Can
they sit? Absolutely.
You know, my wife, honestly, the last 2
months of pregnancy could barely walk.
I had to help my wife, right, on
the train in New York City. Absolutely. You
don't need to make this hard on yourself.
And you know if you if you if
you're not able to do these things
as you normally would and if in fact
sometimes I've seen a I remember one time
her pregnant sister fell down.
She got light headed,
right? Because the circulation issues
she had to sit. It's not don't don't
make things difficult on yourself.
Right? Let's quickly remove
review the obligations of prayer and then we'll
take any questions people have Insha'Allah.
So he says number 1 is the intention
I intend that given salah. These are great
questions by the way.
And to be standing when I do it
if I can.
What's the evidence for if you can?
The hadith of Abu Hurairah
who said that the Prophet said what I
commanded you to do, do it as best
you can do
it. Somebody asked, but what if we're lazy
doing salah like Tarawee by sitting with our
we're not talking about the nafil prayers right
now, we're talking about Fard,
We're not talking about Tarawee or any of
the sunnun, it's a great question, that's a
different issue. But the scenario now, one of
the things that you appreciate
when you read the books of fiqh is
how precise they are on the subject. Right
now it's just the obligatory
prayers that I'm talking about.
Halas?
Well and that's my fault I didn't make
that clear.
Reading Al Fatiha
and standing while reading it and we said
if someone's a new Muslim they can say
If they can't say that they can sit
quietly,
if they can only say 1 it's okay,
If they can only say Allah, Allah, Allah,
it's okay. Allah says
remember the name of your Lord.
Leave let leave them alone, man. Let them
go slowly.
How did I learn how to pray, by
the way? In my novel prayers, I used
to hold the book on how to pray.
Not in the Fard prayers. In the in
the voluntary prayers, I would hold the book
on how to pray and I would read
it. That was my prayer and I did
that for like a year
and then I had it down.
Welcome Miriam nice to see you as always
Alhamdulillah.
To make ruku
and then
to rise from it.
And to make sujud as we said earlier,
most important parts of our body,
7 parts and then
to rise from it and sit.
To rise from it, excuse me.
Here. Means between the sujood.
When I sit, I sit like this. Doesn't
mean to be straight in ruku or
aphan, it means when I'm sitting.
So I come from sujud
Yeah. And to be calm in my salah.
To observe the obligatory components of prayer
We know it's only one Salaam Alaikim we'll
talk about that next week Insha'Allah.
And to sit long enough for me to
do As Salaam Alaikum.
Any questions Insha'Allah
before we jump off? Yes sir.
So if
if
and Afon, I I made a mistake also.
Tidal actually means when you rise from Ruku.
And when you rise from the the
jalsa. Yeah. You
and
the.
Not only in the sitting. Sorry, my brain
started to fry after about an hour of
this man.
So you would
No, no. So if they're not saying this
salaam correctly you need to correct them.
You need to teach them.
Right? You need to tell them, listen man,
don't say it like that. You know what
I meant. It's like, excuse me brother, Mashallah,
Zakkallahu Khayar, Yaqiraa is like subhanAllah it's so
beautiful and Mashallah what is that profuse? Is
that Egyptian mosque brother? Mashallah. You know brother,
you have to say Salam Alaikum with Ariflam.
Unless you find another madhab
that allows someone to do it without Ariflam,
then you don't need to be hard on
them because maybe they follow the other madhhab.
Right? But if they say they're Maliki and
they're going salaam alaikum or salaams,
that's a problem then you need to you
need to tell them this is incorrect and
then you probably wanna pray again.
Yeah,
Yeah, because the prophet said,
And when he would pray he would say
Assalamu alaykum the narration of Sayyidina Atir Midi
and Imam Abu Dawood
at the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would say,
Assalamu
Alaikum once. You know there's other narrations he
said twice, this other meh haves, no problem.
But
to my knowledge those narrations are Allah aliflam
and the practice of the people of Medina
was
Assalamu Alaikum.
So yeah, you wanna you know teach the
people with kindness,
love and if they're like new or something
like that you know,
you wanna take it easy on them Insha'Allah.
Yeah. And I'll I'll and also also sometimes
look. Let's be honest, man. Sometimes you gotta
make an assessment.
If I if I go and tell this
individual, is it going to create more drama
and more headaches?
Or is there like another time in the
future maybe they ask me to teach a
class there?
Or I'm answering questions and I can say,
I can even act like, oh, I just
got a question. There's not a nothing oh,
I just got a question that says, is
it allowed to say salaams
when I finish my prayer?
And then you can be like, you know,
actually no we have to say
Assalamu
Alaikum.
Right?
And my experience and I don't mean to
be too cynical is usually when I correct
people on these kind of issues they're like,
no man I said it, I said it.
Okay, okay, okay. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Right. No problem. You said it. You said
it. You said it. Haruf Hashem Siya. I
gotta go.
I can see the sun.
Masha Allah.
Any other questions? Yes, Freddie. Where where's my
dinner, man? Where's my dinner, Freddie? I also
got a coffee for Iftar, man.
Alright.
Yeah. You should you should try to avoid
stacking them. So the question is, like, you
know, sometimes
you just wanna get them all in so
you delay Asar right or before Maghrib or
Duhr right before 'Asr and Maghribay before 'isha.
You wanna try to avoid that because Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the Quran
Right? Those people who neglect their prayers mean
they delayed the times without a reason.
So you want to try to avoid stacking
them man. Someone's asking how do you move
your finger in the Maliki Madhub?
You know, there's actually 3 opinions but we're
going to talk about
the stronger opinion next week Insha'Allah Ta'ala.
Yes, sir.
Yeah. We have a whole
can I stop you? We have the end
of the book is all it's gonna talk
about. Masha'Allah.
I got you. I got you. So when
do you Asajj al Sahwa, how do you
do the prayer of forgetfulness and how do
you
actually Al Akhdarih does things in his text
that even like Khalil doesn't do.
Masha'ab on this subject like he really unpacks
it so I didn't mean to cut you
off but that's coming.
That's coming around the mountain. It's coming around
the mountain.
No
no yeah
Barakalahu Faikum Assalamu alaikum I gotta jump off
man
So the question on Instagram is I grew
up with my mom 30 years later. She
wants to be in my life but is
extremely
entitled and acts like her absence is nothing.
What are my obligations part of Islam's sin's
question? I mean, you have to make sure
that you stay in touch with her,
see if she has any needs but if
you feel that it's best to keep some
distance away from her, to protect and preserve
yourself that's okay in your family. Your family
comes first before even your parents. Your wife
and children or your husband and your children
come before your parents.
Yes. Any other questions on on Instagram before
I let people go? I see a few
questions here as well.
What's the Islamic word regarding suicide by someone
who is diagnosed with severe mental illness?
No.
Then someone's asking, did the prophet
show his stomach in the battle?
As far as I know it's not authentic
but the other question about if someone commits
suicide and they were diagnosed as being someone
who is mentally compromised insha'Allah
and by the way the strong opinion is
that someone who kills themselves is not going
to be in * forever. The context of
the Hadith that people have confused is someone,
like on a battlefield, right? So,
you find that's why in the Maliki Medhat
we pray on the person who kills himself
except for the the imam, someone else prays
on them.
So you find that in the Madhab. But
we also don't wanna say this in a
way that may encourage people to do that,
it's a grievous sin we ask Allah Barafiya.
Any other questions Insha'Allah
here on Instagram,
before we let you guys go.
And in Haiti may Allah SWANTAWA blessed and
protect them and accept our fasting those of
us who are fasting
and raise their status.
