Yaser Birjas – Just Follow The Imam

			hamdulillah Avalara means to allow some of our accountability Muhammad and my dad or cyber salam to
slim and teratoma bad. Are you allowed to pray behind an imam who's Hanafy?
		

			As your mom,
		

			can you pray behind the demand was Hanafi.
		

			Stop for all right.
		

			How dare you even ask the question, right? No, but that's a serious, serious matter. Because if you
read in books of history, books of faith, as a matter of fact, there was a time in the Muslim ummah,
where unfortunately, this question which we laugh at today, was a serious question
		

			they asked you is, is it okay for a chef at pray behind? 100 400 per Yuan Shafi? What's the premise
of that question? Where did this come from? Anyway, it came from the fact that they thought look,
the Hanafis they believe in certain areas in the Salah, where if I am as a chef a pray like that
will be invalid for me.
		

			And the hammock they will say the same thing the chef is they pray in a certain way that if they if
I am as 100 you pray in that way, that will be invalid for me, that's the perception of this, this
is a calculation to the consumer and so on. So therefore, they came to this conclusion. And at some
point, unfortunately, that came into the actual community
		

			platform, and they start wondering if I should pray behind this imam or not be in being Shafi be
Hanafi. So that's a serious question. And subhanAllah from the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, we have what helps us sort out these issues and make these insalata easy for us. And as a
bureau they allow to Anwar Hadid number 1838 In the other side behind Karla van Ebihara 30 Allah I
know Anna Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I'll call you sir Lunella Kume van ASABE bufala ko
Wen acto Fela Kamali road Buhari. This hadith comes a short over here but it comes in a larger
context. But the point from this hadith is when the prophets of Allah Sam was asked about he was
		

			talking about actually leadership, imams and believers at a time when they will be fitted and some
of these leaders will be messing up for the Salah, meaning what they delay the salah for example for
the people
		

			they might even do things in Sarada might not necessarily compatible However, it's still not to the
extent that would invalidate the Salah. So, what do we do in this case? So the prophets or Assam
said to them, call us Soluna lecom You leaders will lead you in Salah if they conducted properly and
		

			you and they will be rewarded God when after Oh fella come where Allah him. But if they make
mistakes, you will earn that award and they will be held responsible for these mistakes. What does
that exactly mean? Now what two things here number one in terms of leadership number number two in
terms of Imam who did the Salah in terms of leadership that's what the head is speaking about.
Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he was he also mentioned as one of the signs that
will come later in the Obama he said they will be amongst yourselves, they will come at a time at a
time where the Imams and leaders you are Crona salata and walk down they will delay the salah walk
		

			away from its proper time and they make this official time. So So however there was like What did
you also do we do in this case if this comes happens to us, what do we do? This is called solo
solitary work there you pray on time and then join in for Gemma.
		

			You gotta pray twice, pray on time and join him for the GEMA so, sometimes these leaders will make
these these regulations or rules that you as a as an average Muslim in the Ummah responsible to
follow the rule. So as long as those rules do not invalidate the Salah, it should be okay. You
should be fine. So for example, again, you come to a country was predominantly Hanafis
		

			and then the leadership let's say, they assign somebody who decide so when you say certain Fatiha
this father started with Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim
		

			now, the Hanafi is and the Malik is in the humblest they don't pronounce the best Mala out loud, but
the shot very they do that. So, the Imam says Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim to me too you might be
saying Come on, I mean, as Hadith Amis is very clear that the Prophet SAW Salah Abu Bakr Muhammad
there was the recite with the hamdulillah Brahmin so while saying Bismillah R Rahman R. I was gonna
make a big deal out of this. No, just follow his example. And that's it. We're done. Because the
professor said look, if that was wrong, that was mistake. They will be responsible for
		

			me should be fine. So don't look at these differences that will make you delay or actually not
praying behind each other there will divide the OMA and again the purpose from the prophets as Sam
said his word is what? To keep the OMA United keep them together. So no one says come in with these
excuses and
		

			Not to pray behind these Imams. Now if the imam in regard to the imam who leads the Salah, the Imam
if he makes a mistake, as long as that mistake is rectified later on with the sudo. So hamdulillah
you're done.
		

			But I didn't make mistake, he did the mistake, that's fine you okay? You're still as valid.
		

			Similarly if the Imam if the but if the Imam makes a mistake that would invalidate the salah. You
need to fix your Salah. So for example, the Imam, let's say he
		

			stood up for a fifth tracker.
		

			And you keep saying, Allah subhanaw taala. And you told them, This is the fifth Raka and he insists
it's the fourth Raka and this is a regular standard for them for the fifth writer. Now some foci
they will say yes, because you don't know what the Imam is actually thinking about. Maybe he made a
mistake one of his record. And as a result is adding this one in place with the one that is
considered invalid. So just an example. That's fine. You follow the example of the Imam
		

			and then because if there was a mistake, he has a responsibility. And he do you do you do right by
following that Imam. So the Prophet Salah Salem is making it clear here that would come to the
salah. It's a public public thing. Everybody come to the masjid men, women, children, the community
gets together for the salah. It's important that we keep the Salah in order not to get divided over
the Salawat over these details. An imam might come over here, Maliki for example. They say Allahu
Akbar and they keep their hands on their side
		

			are we going to fight with him? No, you should have put your hand here we're not going to do that.
We're going to make sure that Salah is still actually in order if there was a mistake because this
mistake does not even if it's if you consider it to be a mistake still does not invalidate the salah
you should be okay in short to pray behind the Imam and not worry about these matters. Will Allahu
Taala and the question in your mind
		

			one knows not
		

			depends depends on who's speaking which might happen.
		

			Now
		

			let's ask the question from a fake point of view. If I don't attend the heartbeat of Joomla and I
pray Serato Joomla only with my salah be considered valid for other Joomla is valid? The answer is
yes. So either Joomla is valid. I know in some schools of thought they consider the hotbar part of
the Salah. So if you missed the hotbar you can produce it forever. I don't believe this is a valid
opinion. But our are correct. Okay. Might be valid but not correct. What I believe is that a Joomla
is a thorough QA. Yes, you're supposed to attend the hotbar with that, because that's the whole
purpose of Joomla anyway, but if I came late for example, or by the time I parked my car difference
		

			the hook buffers and they came with a moment of silence in the Quran, you should be fine you Juma is
still valid inshallah Tabata Kota. Now if I don't like this country, because you always, you know,
take too long, or he always talks about relevant topics or, like you said, he's always you know,
talking about praising leaders and attacking the Muslims. I don't want to listen to this thing. So
what I would do in this case, I would say still attend the football.
		

			Attend the football because not about the athlete, it's about you. You need to be in the masjid for
the football and be patient with that inshallah Tada Allah.
		

			Yes.
		

			Is it being a big problem?
		

			Yeah, I mean, the question is about basically this becoming an issue in some Muslim countries. I
personally believe these issues are where they were, there is less education.
		

			When we go to villages, and the countryside and some Muslim countries where they have not seen any
form of Islam, or than what they've been taught by the imam who comes from a specific background.
They see Islam through the lenses of the Imam, that's it. So therefore, if they see if they hear
somebody saying, I mean out loud, this is blasphemy.
		

			If this is somebody, for example, put their hands below or not, you know, on the side, they think
this has actually been a big deal.
		

			They don't see it. They don't. So basically their Islam is very, very subjective from that
perspective, and for them, I think the reason why they hold on to this very strongly, because it
becomes their identity, they identify themselves through this law or with Islam through this
particular practice. And that's what we tried to remove it becomes a big deal like we came from
Bosnia Chilango in Bosnia, they inherited some of the some of the Turkish tradition which is also
being practiced in some Muslim country out of country as well to what they call them wasn't system
was the man fish or the Salah, a ceramic Rahmatullah ceramic Rahmatullah they there is a modern
		

			somebody who's started making this music, Sarah salatu salam ala Rasulillah and and they make this
get together and they are together and so on. Now, I don't participate in that. I personally
consider this to be Vidal. Now the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, but you know what, in
their tradition, they're doing this because I believe that's what preserved Islam by the will of
Allah subhana wa Tala to the time of the communists, and also funds
		

			are respected education. But hopefully with education and shallow Tara, they will learn differently.
I remember 20 plus years ago, when I first was there in Bosnia, it was so hard and difficult to be
sitting there in the masjid. And people look suspicious at you because you're not participating. And
there'll be some debates, like you said, but nowadays after 20 plus years, with the exposure to the
other cultures and other Muslim communities and so on, mashallah, they're tolerant, and other people
also turn to them. So we'll learn it. So with education, we can remove these differences in
Charlotte. Now, the one section which is
		

			the highly educated that create the fitna, it's not about education anymore. It's about territories,
unfortunately become territorial war between them schools of thought and not for them.
		

			It's an example nonspecific and exquisite school of thought I heard that from our Messiah lecturer
at a major members they say, look, follow the Imam.
		

			Especially if you say subhanallah and the Imam insists it's not like them as confused. He doesn't
know what's going on. No, he insisted on praying. Even though it's the fifth tracker. If you realize
the Imam is insistent, that means he might be praying for a reason. This 50 Raka. Just pray with
him.
		

			And after he's done, you'll him know, hey, you prayed for Francophone Africa if he said no, they
were for and everybody doesn't know they will actually fight for a card. In this case, the salon
needs to be done again. But if he says I know, but I messed up in third America or second raka so I
might have to make this record and place of that one. Wallah. Now, yes.
		

			If you had to,
		

			if you had to, like if a man was not heeding the reminder, like Subhanallah Subhanallah Subhanallah
he's not getting it. So are you allowed to say fifth raka The answer is yes. Because this is now a
speech for Mr. How to Salah to help the Imam correct the mistake in Salah. But I'm not going to have
a conversation with him man.
		

			Seriously, like it happened one time actually with us when we were camping. So one time the Imam
made a mistake or at least the the brother was correcting the Imam and the Imam was rhetoric and so
in the like he said the researcher was working hard. I think you said luck or something like that.
So he said well occurred and the Imam says luck because Walcott so he kind of confused him then he
goes Walcott he goes yes
		

			you can imagine what happened I was alone, it was a sin.
		

			It became a conversation now.
		

			The second point though
		

			last one you remember?
		

			Did he make that intentionally or unintentionally or does the best of his ability
		

			How would he make a mistake and sort of Fatiha in terms of his adult sort of father honey halfway
through, cut it short?
		

			Okay, so if the Imam makes a mistake in the Fatiha according to majority of the fuqaha in terms of
fact that have been broken and salah or at least the Fallopian that I fall under God
		

			Sauterne Fatiha Yeah, the record is invalid.
		

			And if the Imam is insist not to bring raka in place of that raka when he gives his Salah you add an
extra car for yourself,
		

			you understand? So let's say the Imam of the first striker I said Alhamdulillah Bill al Amin denote
Surat almost takim skipped the whole thing.
		

			And people kept trying to correct him and he kept moving on. And if continued the raka so he did not
recite the Fatiha properly, and as a result, it's missing or broken. As a result, we don't count
this record to be valid right?
		

			So if the Imam does not add an extra rock at the end in place of that one, and he says Saramonic,
amatola Salah Curatola you stand up and you do
		

			that again
		

			there is no different one
		

			if you're going to feel if you're going to take a different opinion, they would say that the Hanafi
school for example, they don't consider the fact that to be rude, but it's fun.
		

			So therefore, if you miss if you miss something and it's still valid, but it's not proper, then it's
not done proper that regard so if that's the his opinion, then that's his thing. Allah
		

			Yes, because it's thorough. Now
		

			you're the Imam learning anak lenok
		

			because I'm leaving the salon right now. And I'm I'm doubting my model. I'm the Imam. I'm doubting
my model. And so what do I do in this case?
		

			No.
		

			You still need to remember the last certainty that you have. What does that exactly mean? Did I die?
I had to do that or break my model or otherwise what's the certainty what is the last thing you
remember? If you remember that the last thing I had will do. I'm not sure if I broke my model or
not. Then keep going. Keep going. Don't worry about it. Continue to Salah. But if your last
certainty is that I know I use the bathroom but I'm not sure if I made or do afterwards. Then in
this case, you need to start stop your Salah and have somebody leaders from the beginning. There's
difference between the Imam starting the Salah without voodoo, or losing the widow in the middle.
		

			If the Imams or the salah will that will do and then he remembers oh my god I have
		

			so in this case he needs to break a Salah and everybody's also salah but if the Imam breaks as we'll
do in Salah in this case he simply pulled somebody from behind them to continue the salah for the
people. I should be okay with that shallow now
		

			what I mean when he's leaving
		

			the Imam well if he started the salah if he didn't have all due to break in because it was broken
anyway Colossae but he needed to alert the people that it was broken. But if he
		

			if the Imam let's say if the Imam he did not have although from the beginning but he didn't know
		

			he finished the Salah and after he says that I'm gonna come out Allah subhanaw taala as soon as we
can he remembers oh man I don't have
		

			so in this case, does he have to announce to the public says Mr. Salas button and you have to repeat
repeat your salah the answer is no there are Salah is all valid
		

			and there are servers all correct it's his right that's not correct. And he needs to repeat his
Salah that's it. I remember one time on online I see a picture on somebody posted on on social media
the name of an image it he posted he says all the masalas of the message it should repeat their
solid roster from yesterday because I remember I didn't have all the wound Prasad rasa
		

			Are you serious?
		

			Like that I made this public announcement on the bell on the door of the masjid to steal the people
those if you prayed also with me yesterday, do it again because I didn't have although yesterday.
