We welcome you to another episode of ask
the imam,
question and answer and session.
So we have a quick,
quite a few questions. As you know, if
you want
to pause your questions
or your questions to be answered, please send
us an email
at ask the imam
at the masjid.org.
That is ask the imam at the masjid.org.
So we'll start with the first question, Sheikh
Khourid.
We welcome you.
I I hope you like the coffees. I
love it. Thank you. Alright. I need some
water coffee. Come to,
to the chef's office. Okay.
So, we have quite a few questions.
I would like to begin with the, you
know, many a question that many brothers
and sisters have asked about prayer,
praying Jannazzar and absentia.
What's your,
what's your understanding of it, and what are
the ruling,
Islamic ruling in this regard?
If somebody passed away,
it is his right upon the Muslims that
Salat al Janaz to perform upon this person.
Mhmm. And this is, Farooqifaya.
If some Muslim did it, it became just
highly recommended for the rest to do it.
Is
a collective
Obligation. Obligation.
Yes. Or took the Muslim, he must do
it. Right. So like the adhan. Not everybody
called that adhan. If somebody called that adhan,
it would be something. And if if nobody
did it, it becomes a responsibility
upon all the Muslims. Right? Yes. So if
somebody passed away and there is some Muslim
prejudice on them,
no obligation was fulfilled.
The question will be, can some other people
do the salah
on this person even though the salah was
performed on this person
by people who are absent from his place,
like in another city, another
you know country or something like that.
And the answer for those is what we
look at the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, we
will find 2 things, One, what's reported in
Bukhari Muslim
that in Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, when
in Najashin zai'ed in the Pisidian, Nabi sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam told us, let's go out,
and they went out and they prayed Janazah
on him even though he was absent
and he said,
today
this righteous
king died, and, you know, and he prayed
Janazah on him.
To make the point also that he's a
Muslim.
From this hadith, some of the Fauhaha said,
so it is allowed for you to pray
Janazah on someone who is not present in
front of you.
And the Shafi'iha,
that this is their, possession,
that that is allowed.
But also when we look at the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's life, we found that
in Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa
sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi
wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu
alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, many of his friends died
in other kind of countries or traveling or
other cities or Like Zayhi bin Harithah and
and Jafar.
Yeah. And
then never prayed Janazah on them, and that's
like large number of incident. Or he never
told the Sahaba in Mecca to do this.
They also
himself when he died.
They did not pray Janaz on him in
Mecca, on on
other cities. Right. He was coming to Medina
to pray group after group, did not pray
Janaz on him in Awal in Medina or
or Yeah. Something like that, But they all
come came and they pray in the prophet
in his own presence. Yes. So from this,
you will have the the malikiya became more
strict, and they said no salatuljanazah
on a raib. You know, as long as
the basic The prayer has been Performed on
hand Yes. There is no point because we
look in the process like also that's a
position of Faridim Ahmed Rahim Allah in another
narration that he said the same thing. Mhmm.
But he tried to reconciliate
between both.
And that's the opinion that's been to me
and Abdul Qayyim have chosen. The the second
of the prophet Muhammad Radha he said, you
only pray Janaza on someone
and is absent even
first, if nobody prey on him or her,
2, like somebody died in a number of
land or, like, die in a place Mhmm.
And lost the body. Nobody knows who he
is. So Drowning or something like this. Right?
So, that's one second. He said,
to combine between evidence, we say that you
pray Janazah on the person who is known
to be a righteous, somebody has great influence,
you know, like what the did with An
Najash.
But then if I He said this is
this sort of said,
like, a king, a right
senior
scholars. You know? Like I remember when Shaykh
Mun Basrah died, he prayed Janaz on him
in Madinah, they prayed Janaz on him on,
in Al Aqsa, in many places around the
world. They did not do that with other
than Sheikh Mohammed Ali. Even when Grand Muftis
died, they never did that. But he has
that special place in the heart of Right.
Right. Some grandiose, like, kind of status.
This can be option, not just
and and I can say
an uncle or, like, a Islamic center imam
or, like, necessarily everybody died, Somebody who really
have
shaved the the the or would have a
great Yeah. That's one opinion. But you might
argue back, said, Sheikh, what about Jafar? He's
a great
Exactly. Great Sahabi. He's a you know, all
these companion died also great Sahabi.
Also
Nabi
himself so you can push back on that
opinion and I do believe that has
only performed performed
on people
who are,
did not receive a Janazah prayer. If they
receive a Janazah prayer, the best thing to
do is to make to offer them, to
make sadaqa on their behalf Exactly. To make,
you know, to increase your dua. And you
mentioned you learned from their live and mentioned
their legacy and so forth. So I do
believe that this is the right thing to
do,
but also if somebody choose the other opinion,
we should not say it is haram or
like be, I I think this is one
of the issue. What is the khilaf? You
see a big split between the.
Right. So,
we take it easy. I mean Yes. The
people Yes.
But but I think, you know, to,
to add to this is that Anur Jassy
was probably the only Muslim within his,
circles.
And and, at that time, I think all
of the Muslims like Jafar and the other
Muslims had left Abyssinia.
So he probably the only Muslim there, and
there was nobody to pray on him. And
even if there is a Muslim, he hide
his slap. Exactly. Yeah. So they they do
will not even be allowed to touch his
body because Right. King, there is a certain
process
to go through the body and to deal
with him according to their culture. So there
is no way Muslim will have an access
to it. And that that's
good argument for those who take the Exactly.
That yeah. That's why the prophet prayed Janazah
on him because there there hadn't been any
Janazah prayed on him where he died. Oh,
yes. The argument is very strong toward that.
Yes. Alright.
Alright. Thank you for watching,
this episode. Again, we remind you it is
send an email to ask the imam, all
one word, at the masjid.org.
Alright.
