Suhaib Webb – Maliki Fiqh Part Two Ishmawi’s Primer (Lesson Fifteen) Tayammum

Alhamdulillah.

I hope you're doing wonderful. Alhamdulillah.

Welcome back to the workers

workshop. Alhamdulillah.

As Allah says Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, after

Allah says those who strive,

strive in our way. How do we strive

in the way of Allah? One of the

ways is we strive with devotion,

right? We push ourselves.

Allah says who does that? Allah will guide

them. And

the study of fiqh

is not the study of Islamic law. It's

the study of perfecting as best we can.

So we are commanded to worship Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala and then Allah provides us the

means to worship him, alhamdulillah.

And one of the means is through the

teachings of the Quran, of course. And secondly,

through the teachings of the Prophet

We have reached the chapter of Bab at

Tayam mum. We already talked about the 4

obligatory components of Tayam mum. And Tayam mum

is very powerful. It's a very important chapter.

On the surface, it may seem very simple,

but when it comes to the

kind of philosophy, falsafa

attashariyah

of Islamic law,

This chapter is extremely important. This chapter and

the chapter on Hayd administration,

as mentioned by al Qari Abu Bakr ibn

al-'Arabi.

And we said that the word Tayamu means

al kast,

right?

Intention,

seeking something, having an objective for something. And

we learn something really beautiful from this, that

with the niya of a person,

dirt becomes water.

SubhanAllah.

That with the niya saw lihah lillahi subhanahu

ta'ala

a person befadlila

yurayiratrab

ilalmaa.

You need that

with our intentions,

the material world

loses its definition

by the rahma of Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala.

SubhanAllah.

So Masha'Allah

is really incredible.

We also learned something else that

the Sharia

Islamic law rests between two things what's called

Al Azima

and Ar Rojas.

Azima are those things we have to do

in normal situations

like fasting the month of Ramadan. The ruksa

and those of you who understand Arabic, Ruksa

is actually a license

but here it means a dispensation a license

towards ease. If I'm sick in Ramadan,

the Ruhsa is I don't have to fast.

If I am travelling in Ramadan,

the Ruhsa is I don't have to fast.

If I have water, the Azima is wudu

and the rugsa is tayamum.

So we see that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

Ar Raziq Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has provided us

everything we need to worship him. Now you

understand.

We read this already. Alhamdulillah

That the obligatory

components of Tayamum

are for

the niya,

right, to

of course cover the hands

and the face, alhamdulillah, to your wrists,

to hit

some source of earth, as we talked about,

means everything, right, On the face of the

earth with our hands once. And then, of

course, to touch one of those substances that

has

touched or is part of the face of

the earth in the Maliki school. So the

wall, the floor, you name it, this this

desk

right? The Quran says what means the form

Faiil

oftentimes

means what? Masood

Very similar to the word

sahi. I don't like when people say a

sound hadith. No. It is authenticated.

Sahi means musaha.

Then the sheikh, he says

he says,

He says that the sunin are 3. The

sunin

of Tayamun. Sunin, of course, is the plural

of sunnah.

The first is to follow the proper order.

Right, to follow the proper order.

The evidence for this is Qiyas Al Wudu

that is considered, you know, Sunnah to follow

the order of making Wudu

as the prophet did it. So

if someone says like, where's the daleel? I

want the evidence. It's very important to remember

as sunnis

As Sunnis.

We believe that the agreed upon evidence is

what Imam al Birji calls

Al Asl.

Right? It's

Quran, Sunnah,

Qiyas, and Ijma'ah.

And that's why we have to be very

careful

of Sunnis who

take out

and take out

from the discussion.

The ones who take out ijma' tend to

be the irresponsible

conservatives.

The ones who take out ijma' tend to

be the neo liberals.

SubhanAllah,

Yani, we have to be very careful that

Qiyas protects us from hyper liberalism

and that Ijma saves us and protects us

from falling into Hawa.

We can see from the philosophy of Islamic

law, subhanAllah, something incredible.

So when someone asks like, Tartib ul Mas'

how was that a sunnah?

This is how the prophet did it.

In wudu, so therefore the qiyas follows

the Tayamun. Why? Because Tayamun we say is

taharatun

naibetun

right is a representative form of purification

that

steps in when we are

unable to make wudu. We'll talk about that

more in the future

Insha'Allah. The second sunnah wal mashu minalqawayi

ilal Mirfaqi.

This is something maybe you haven't heard before

but it is to

wipe from the wrist.

Right? From the the wrist all the way

to the elbow.

So I'm

making I don't stop here.

I wipe all the way here. This is

in

the

according

to the

Right? The predominant opinion.

We say the mashhur

Right?

Most of the people supported it, and it

has strong

evidence. But that's not gonna hold water here,

as we're going to see in a second.

And I may give you an opinion that

goes against what's considered Mashhur in the school.

Follow the school. Right? If you feel comfortable.

By no means would I ever attack that

but I also want to expand our mind

and allow us to move away from fanaticism.

As Sheikh Ahmed Taharayan said to me, we

are not

Muhammad

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

I studied with him

for 6 years. Allahu Akbar.

We did the khalil, we did sharhassareer,

we did the Muata. Mashallah with the Sheikh.

May Allah bless him and give him the

highest level of gender Alhamdulillah.

What is the evidence for this?

Sheikh Al Rumari, he actually wrote a very

very awesome text, which gives all the evidences

for

al Ishmaawiyah. Although sometimes he gives evidences that

the madhab doesn't use, but we don't need

to talk about that in this course, insha

Allah, because we want to make it

easy

for everybody.

But this is because of a hadith related

from Sayyidina

Amrrah

who says that the Prophet said,

The hadith is rated by Imam Dara

Dara Kutni.

That it is related that Sayna Amar said

that the prophet said that

is 2 strikes.

Right? Meaning here. Right? So boom boom.

Then again from here to here.

This Hadith is related by the daughter

Kutni.

That, you know,

that that some some scholars, they said this

hadith is sound and he agreed with him.

A sheikh, he says everything that's been related

that says this actually is not strong.

It's not Sahih. It's

So the sheikh is saying listen it's not

farmed.

That's why it's in the Sunan.

Even though it's phrased in this way because

of the weakness of the hadith, but at

the same time it is put under the

sunan because in the usul of the Maliki

madhab and this is something

that has been kind of clouded in recent

years. It is allowed to use a hadith

that are not super weak.

And we see people practicing them in their

early generations in fiqh, not just in fada'il.
