The speakers discuss the importance of worship and practicing etiquette in Islam. They explain the obligations of Tayam mum, the prophet who gives the license to step away from fasting and wear a car. The actions of Tayam mum are not to remove impurities, but to make prayer troublesible. The main difference of opinion is the legal theorists and lawyers. The main difference of opinion is the difference of opinion between the legal theorists and lawyers.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Just making sure I got it all together
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			here.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			You will never guess how many times
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			we've recorded things and then found out something
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			is wrong or or or whatnot. So
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			But welcome to our class on worship. Let's
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			step back. Center yourself. Get in the mood.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Right? Allow yourself don't feel intimidated. You know,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			religion.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			No. No. Relax.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			Chill. Get
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			into
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			a good place. Think of good thoughts. Think
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			of good places.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Imagine every breath
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			in this moment, you're being rewarded by Allah
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			for trying to be one of those who
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			who, like, lives.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			You alone we worship and you alone we
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			seek for help. May Allah make us from
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			those people.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			We have been reading from the text, the
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			introductory text,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			and we reach now at chapter. He says,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			babuatayamum.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			The word bab literally means a door. In
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			Arabic,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			So why would scholars
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			call chapters Bab? Because metaphorically, the idea here
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			is
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			that I'm I'm I'm I'm moving from a
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			state of ignorance to knowledge. So I'm going
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			into a new place. Also, it reminds us
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			of etiquette because when I walk into someone's
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			home through their door as a guest, I
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			have certain etiquettes,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			and they are going to greet me with
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			certain etiquettes. Thus, the word bab encapsulates the
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			etiquettes of the student and the teacher. SubhanAllah.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			And also a bad door reminds us of
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			Abwabul Jannah, the gates of Jannah. So the
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			student and the teacher are reminded to be
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			sincere
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			in their efforts to teach and learn.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			The word
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			actually is from a word which means to
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			to intend something.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			Like don't want filth.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			Don't want evil.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			In Islamic law,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			is defined
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			as a form of tahara done with dirt.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			Which includes wiping the face and the hands
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			with intention.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			So one more time
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			that this is a form of
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			purification,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			which is using dirt,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			which is going to include
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			wiping the face and wiping the hands to
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			the wrist,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			with
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			the intention.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			It tells us a lot about this act
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			now.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			A falls under what's called
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			with
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			are those
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			acts which are allowed
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:14
			by Islam
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			to replace
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			a regulatory
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:18
			act like
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			fasting the month of Ramadan a regular act,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			excuse me, like fasting the month of Ramadan,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			like wudu. Those are things that we have
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			to do on default. But there are times
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			when we are allowed
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			to step away from performing them in that
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			way because of legitimate reasons
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			identified by Islamic law that is called a
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			ruksa.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			In Arabic means a license like
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			to drive a car.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			So here Allah is giving us license, if
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			you will, dispensation
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			to avoid making wudu for whatever reason we're
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			gonna talk about soon, insha Allah.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			And now observing a Tayam mum, a license
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			to step away from rusl
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			and make Tayamom
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			for certain reasons.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			Okay? Because this is an act of worship
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			that is taught to us mentioned in the
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			Quran
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			and
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			also in the practice of the prophet
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			there are going to be obligatory components.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			There are going to be components of it
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			that are sunnah,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			right, which are were constantly practiced by the
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:22
			prophet
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			And then there are going to be what's
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			called al Fadila. We talked about this before.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			Those things which he did from time to
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			time, but not all the time.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			For the shayikh, he says
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			If you take Arabic with me, you see
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			doesn't have tanween. Why? This is
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			Why? Because
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			that form. This is for students who take
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			Arabic with me. I like to teach thematically,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			so sometimes I may mention something in another
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			course
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			just so we can tie things together and
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			give each other the opportunity
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			to practice. So if you go take Arabic,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			you're probably going to see me in the
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			section on
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			like and
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			found in our fit class. So they were
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			able to tie it together. So the sheikh,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			he says
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:30
			obligations
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			of Tiamum
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			as for the obligations of Tiamum, excuse me,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			therefore.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			So what are we going to talk about
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			today are the obligations
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			of Tayam mum, those four obligations,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			with their evidences, Insha'Allah.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			The first he says, Aniya
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			is intention. Why? Because the prophet
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			said in the hadith of the hadith of
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			the hadith of the
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			Then he says wahiya. And this is very
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			beautiful. This is like a what's called jumlahatafsiriyah.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			It's going to explain how to make niyyah.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			Because of course, someone may say, like, what
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			do I intend when I make tayamum? I
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			know when I'm making wudu, I intend to
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			make wudu so I can pray.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			So
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			he
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			says, that with
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			the you do not seek to remove the
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			impurity,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			but you seek to make prayer
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			permissible.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			This is different. With wudu, I'm seeking to
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			When I make wudu,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			I'm intending to remove the impurities so I
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			can pray.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			And here you get into something kind of
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			cool. I'm not gonna elaborate on it too
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			much now, but here you can see how
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			these are the minds of legal theorists and
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			lawyers,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			and that is that the say
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			does not remove the impurity. The impurity is
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			still there.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			But what it does is because of its
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			intention,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			the intention of observing as
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			it was taught to us in the Quran
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			and sunnah,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			this permits you to enter the prayer. Right?
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			You can pray, but it doesn't remove the
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			impurity. That's why later on when you find
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			water, I find water, we have to wash
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			off that impurity.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			Something like kind of cool. And you find
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			that there's a difference of opinion amongst
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			the on this, as well as in the
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			Madhab as we're gonna talk about like right
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			now. Now. He says
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			He says because
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			does not remove the impurity.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			Means when you hear the word
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			in the Maliki books, it means that there's
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			a difference of opinion.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:45
			And
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:46
			the
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			We say that Mashor is as mentioned by
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			Imam Sahib Al Hashiyat,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			the Hashiyyah on,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			on Abi Zaid, I can't remember his name
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			now. Imam al Saeedi,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			that
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:08
			the
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			excuse me. That
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			Mashhur means what most of the scholars agree
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			on and what the evidence supports. Like there's
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			more evidence for it, but there is a
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			difference of opinion within the med heb. So
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			he says, what's the difference of opinion over
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			Does Tiamo remove the impurity? So, like, if
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			I make Tiamo, do I have to wash
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			later or not?
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			Or does the nia remove the impurity, which
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			means
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			the impurity is still there, but I'm allowed
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			to pray. And that's the majority of the
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			Malekis.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			What's the evidence for this is the hadith
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			of Amr Maas,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:43
			who mentions,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			that he was dispatched
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			for a battle
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			during the time of the prophet.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			And, you know,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			during
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			this time he experienced, he says,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			he says that he had a *.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			He said, I had a * and
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			it was extremely
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			cold.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			Extremely cold.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			He said, so I was scared that if
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			I made rusul, I would die.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			So I made tayam Here we see something.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			You know, Amr al Ma'als is not known
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			as being a faqih
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			amongst the Sahaba. He's not someone that has
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			taken fatwa from from the Sahaba like, Salamah.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			For example, we take fit from her.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			But still, the prophet's community
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			has enough freedom to think
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			and to live. Now we see religious discourse
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			in the Muslim community, it shuts people down.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			And the reason it shuts people down is
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			perhaps people are so insecure because they haven't
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			scaled and scaffold by educating people.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			Even though he is
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			a not known as a or
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:08
			a Mufti.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			Still, he see, he's been educated in a
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			way that allows him to navigate difficult issues.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			Are we educating Muslims in North America and
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			other parts of the world to use religion
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			to think through difficult issues? No.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			And that's a disaster.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			Allah says,
