Yasir Qadhi – The Fiqh of Salah #13 – Salat Al-Witr

			the second absorber Sunny, I'll Witter the second absorber Thani. The second category is the solid
elevator. The solid alligator walk to Houma Bay, Nosferatu, Nisha Well, Fajr and the timing of
Witter is between the solid of Russia and the salah of Fajr, between Russia and Fajr. What this
means, therefore, is that Witter can be prayed at any time after the timing of Russia, not after you
pray Russia. So when you're traveling, and you pray Maghrib and Isha early,
		

			then according to our author, you're not allowed to pray with her.
		

			Because why not?
		

			Is not Aisha timing it? Okay. And this is one opinion and the other opinion is that whenever you
pray, shut up until Fajr and inshallah Umbra wash or whatever you do, but according to the our
author, according to our textbook, the timing of winter is after the timing of Russia, not after you
pray Russia. So if you happen to pray Russia early, you're not allowed to pray with it because the
timing of winter is independent of when you pray to Russia. It is after the timing of Russia up
until the timing of Fudger. Now, Witter. One of the big confusions when it comes to serata Witter is
that
		

			people get confused what exactly is witted, and the books of Hadith and the books of fake seem to
use them interchangeably with salata, tahajjud and salata, Lael, and the fact of the matter is, the
salah to the waiter, in some ahaadeeth It implies tahajjud
		

			so for example, our processor and said, Oh to your Al Quran, pray the winter or people of the Quran.
And the meaning of pray the winter in this hadith is praise Allah to 200 So he called Witter 202 100
Witter.
		

			Okay. And hadith of Abu Hurayrah that the prophets are some commanded me to pray Witter before I go
to sleep.
		

			And the meaning of witted here as well is the tahajjud that Abu Hurayrah in his early years was not
in the habit of waking up at the end of the night for tagit. So he would pray tahajjud before he
went to sleep, and he would pray the whole tahajjud and then finish with Witter, and then he will go
to sleep. So he called tahajjud with it. Why is tahajjud called Witter, because, in total 200 would
be odd or even
		

			odd. And it is finished by Suratul. Witter. So some ahaadeeth mentioned WITR as being synonymous
with tahajjud. And that is valid and that's correct.
		

			And sometimes the term WITR is used exclusively for the concluding bit of salata, tahajjud which can
be independent of tagit. Is that clear? The concluding will odd number of records, which can be
independent of Salah tahajjud, sometimes the Hadith, and the books are filled to use Witter, and
they mean, the separate prayer so in our tarawih we pray eight records and then the Imam stands and
says Salah to Twitter, and then he prays a separate prayer okay. So right now, even Kodama is
talking about the separate winter not the full
		

			sorry, excuse me, right now it will Kodama is talking about the total winter which is the tahajjud
however, some books are filled some books are filled when they say Salah to Twitter, they mean
separate from the Hajj. So you need to understand and this is confusing because the same term Witten
is used for both prayers why? Because you finish 200 with the winter and the perfect winter occurs
when
		

			after 200 Okay, so because of this, because of this books of fake and books of Hadith sometimes use
them interchangeably. And this is why it is confusing to the beginning student that when the Hadith
says witted, what does it mean? When the fifth book says witted? What does it mean? You need to
understand by context you need to stand by
		

			context and a hadith sometimes do use Witter to imply only the ending so for example and it is
mentioned in your own text that our prophets of salaam said Salah to Lady methanol, methanol, that
praying at night is to to then when you think it's about to be Fudger pray the waiter.
		

			So here even the Profit System he is using within and what sense?
		

			Separate sense? Separate sense. Okay.
		

			We're getting there.
		

			So the point being that the term Witter is sometimes used for the whole package of tahajjud and the
concluding and sometimes it is used for only the separate with the salah. And which author uses it
and which Hadith uses when you need to basically scratch the surface a little bit and understand so
		

			even Kodama says what are called LU Raka. Work Thoreau, who Hedda Shara will Danelle Kamal. Sarah
betta slim attain. Okay. Well, yeah, Kuru, two fatalities about the rocker. So, the least number of
regard for winter is one Urraca
		

			and the most is 11.
		

			And the lease that will be considered perfect is three that is divided by two to Slim's, ie a
Scheffer with two to one. Okay, so it will Kodama mentions that. If somebody were to just pray one
Raka. It will constitute a type of Witter.
		

			And this is the bare minimum of Witter because where do we get this from? Because our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told that companion that the night prayer is to to and when you think
it's about to be done, then finish it with the one waiter.
		

			So by itself, so this is an explicit Hadith that the one who's praying to her Jude is praying tu tu
tu tu tu, then one is just he thinks is about to be budget, he is allowed to pray, one to conclude
all of that. Nonetheless, this praying one is not considered to be Kamal, it is considered to be
shortchanging is considered to be very lazy. You're not sinful, you can't be sinful. It's not fought
in the first place. And again, this is the humbly Shafi and Maliki all the 100 Thieves know that
witted is indeed wajib in their meta, right, but the other three do not have it as as obligatory.
And they have many evidences, by the way. And I quoted some of them the other time that you are not
		

			sinful, even for abandoning the terracotta Fajr you're not sinful, but as even Muhammad said, I
don't think any movement can give up Witter, like how can any movement not pray with it? Okay, so
the one who has Iman here, he's not saying like the cafe, but like Eman has a positive
characteristic, ie Islam, Imam Hassan, right. How can anybody who's like not a facet? How can
anybody who's a little bit of taco in his heart, how can that person not pray, Witter, and in fact,
according to some math hubs, the one who does not pray with him, his testimony will not be accepted
in the court because he's not trustworthy. Like his Eman is so low, you're not going to accept his
		

			testimony. Now, that's a bit harsh, maybe but in any case is the point is that we should not
trivialize and I need to mention a point here that
		

			was mentioned to me by one of my own teachers shortly to humble on that photo, excuse me, that he
said sometimes knowledge backfires on the one who learns it. And that when he learns that a habit of
his that he was regularly doing is Sunnah and not wajib he might abandon that habit even though it
was his regular habit. And for his case, it was better for him to remain ignorant in that case,
		

			because the knowledge did not benefit him.
		

			So the knowledge is supposed to benefit and the minute that is not benefiting then ignorance would
have been better, which means you haven't understood the benefit of knowledge here. Okay. And this
is a classic pointer that every student of knowledge a lot of times so for example, once you find
out the one witness, okay, so if you want to jump on this immediately, and tonight, Hollis for the
rest of your life, one rock I waited, so then you lost the purpose of gaining knowledge. Okay. The
point is to understand, technically speaking, legally speaking, one rock out of Witter would be Jah
is, but it is not recommended. In fact, as he himself said at the Del Kamal Salah, the minimum of
		

			having a perfect with it is three and Alhamdulillah. This is the norm that Muslims understand right
around the globe. All the medina hub, they understand the three is
		

			what Twitter is, okay, but one is John is an it is not ideal, and you are not because you're going
to be somewhat deficient, but it will be considered to be acceptable in the eyes of the Sharia. So,
what I call the hoorah will occur who who Hedda Ashura and the most is 11. The most is 11. And this
is based on the hadith of Artesia that she said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never
prayed more than 11 rakaat at night, okay, he never prayed more than 11 rakaat at night. And this is
the habit that we as well do here and many other massage that the total that we pray is 11 record,
okay, so two to two, and then we pray the three with 2222 and we pray the three with it. And it is
		

			also narrated at the process and prayed for four and three, so four with one teslim and then four
with another slim and then three, and it is even narrated at once he prayed all eight, with one to
slim, and then three. So in tahajjud and in Korean were laid and in Tarawa, and we said many many
many times tahajjud and Pamela and tarawih are the same thing except that in Ramadan we will call
tahajjud Torah we
		

			Okay, so to help Jude and pm Malay and tarawih are the same concept. But there's some minor if they
laugh and that is that not after change and that is that, especially in Ramadan, aim will lay is
sunnah to do in JAMA.
		

			That's the only difference is that clear? In Ramadan tahajjud or Korean Mala and same thing to her
gentle clamor late. It becomes sunnah outside of Ramadan. It is sunnah to pray individual.
		

			And you are allowed to pray together
		

			tahajjud so if tonight we want to do tahajjud here in NYC and we announced 3am We're going to have
to hit you This is completely jazz, nothing wrong. But the Sunnah is what you pray by yourself.
Whereas in Ramadan, the Sunnah or the more encouraged thing to do for tahajjud is to pray it in GEMA
and we then call it
		

			tarawih. Okay, we then call it Salah to Tarawa, this is the only difference otherwise, all of the
Hadith about tahajjud and crown valerian Witter, they apply to basically the same concept, and that
is the prayer between Fudger sorry, between Russia and Fajr. Okay, between Russia and Fajr. So, the
least number of recart is one the most is 11. And the lease that will be considered perfect is three
divided by two, that seems now this is the humbly madhhab. Of course, the Hanafi is the opposite of
this.
		

			The humbly madhhab says that it is mcru It is not nice, it's not recommended to pray Witter with one
Tasneem and you sit down in the second and then you stand up without the slim. Why? Because they say
you then make it look like Muslim.
		

			And there are traditions where the Profit System said don't make with the like mockery.
		

			Now the Hanafis don't view these traditions as authentic and then they say three Rakhine should have
the to just sit in the middle. So they will make it like mother that's the humble Hanafi madhhab no
problem, whoever follows it, they may follow it for the humbleness and the majority even the window
should not be like multigrip which should be a separate characteristic as Milgrim and therefore he
explicitly says that he should have three record with Tutor Slim's. So you say that a sleeve, which
is how we usually do it here at MIT. And it is also allowed to have three raka with one to slim, and
this is authentically narrated as well. So what we learn is that the night prayer of the Prophet
		

			system was varied, it was not the same. And in fact, in this his benefit in that some variety makes
you concentrate and makes you think differently as well. Okay, so sometimes it'll be four, four,
sometimes two to two, sometimes all eight. So this would, it's a little bit of variety makes your
mind more concentrating in the solid that you are doing. And according to the hammer, the madhhab
Waiapu to 3030 BARDA record, and he does pollute dry oil for note in the third record, after the
record, he does so that's a local note or note after the record and the third record. Now, do note
is the subject of quite a lot of afterlife amongst the muda hip and each Madhava has his own its own
		

			understanding. And I mentioned that the issue of the alkaloids before many times and the Shaffir is
have hundreds wanted to have gone
		

			which, after fajr sorry in the Fajr, Salah and the Fajr of the second raka are the Hanafi are
shocked at this every Salat al Fajr in a Shafi masjid, they will have a minute it is common to have
clued in Salah till Fudger in the Arab world, okay in Egypt they do it. So the first thing they do
it, they do it like every Fajr
		

			in the masjid and in theory as well how long is the 100?
		

			Just like just a law Medina human headache, they just like that. Okay
		

			okay
		

			he doesn't and budget in budget. So the Maliki madhhab. The Maliki might have has rewired so he's
probably the following the one that says at Fajr time. Okay, the Shaffir is he's Maliki the Shah. In
my husband, Shafi the Sharper Image hub says federal salah they don't have it in the with the crude.
They don't have it in Witter. The Hanafis and humble is they have it when in winter. The Hanafis and
humble is a habit in the solitude Witter okay and the Hanafis have it before the record
		

			and the humble is have it after the record. So, in reality, all formats have their own
interpretations of gurus and whichever you follow Inshallah, it is fine. And we are sticking with
the tech. So, we say that the humble Event Hub says that it is in the third record of the whole node
of the winter after the record, okay. Me personally, I am generally a humbly, but at times when I
find the evidence to be stronger, I personally follow another position and then who knows my
position is that that note is not linked with any Salah and rather it is linked with circumstances.
And so, you do note in any Salah because of something happening in the OMA and it is not a regular
		

			TA.
		

			So, the prophet system would not regularly make quote
		

			he would not regularly make kudos rather he would make connotes when something happened. So, and
this is I have to be honest, it is a sunnah that unfortunately is abandoned, it is true. So we
should make quote right now for our brothers and philosophy. Okay, we should make quotes every few
weeks for Syria like this, this would be so now this is an my and if you look at the Sierra as well,
when we did it, after the incident of
		

			the the massacre that took place of Malta and the other massacres that took place the process it did
hold for one month. Okay. So although it is not linked with a prayer so the medina had looked at
these a hadith and they said, Oh, he did gluten budget, we'll make it in future. Oh, he did. But the
reality is he wasn't regularly praying. nonetheless. Whoever wants to do Knut regularly that is
fine. And a number of a number of dramas are mentioned of them as the famous one Aloma unnecessary
Nocona when a study gonna start, we go on to why they want to talk on Matoba karate quinone article
Sarah cola who
		

			the screw cola anak Furukawa clam I took this was mentioned in a hadith. This this was mentioned in
the Hadith. And the other one that was along Medina if you've been headed wifing of human affraid
whatever learner the mentor will lead to a bad enough female athlete. This is also mentioned in
another Hadith, and what we hear in Ramadan. The regular do is that the Imam myself and others give
actually most of them are cut and pasted from a hadith. And that's why we say it regularly because
it is from the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam nonetheless, whoever is following
the madhhab so they will then do connote after the third raka sorry Yeah, after the third raka after
		

			the record of the third record, okay, so this is the second category of the five categories of the
total what prayers okay number one was raw Tip number two is a lot to do with it
