What is ruling on delaying following the Imaam to increase in Dua? Shaykh Fawzaan

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on . Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

What is the ruling on delaying (following) the Imaam whether it was during Rukoo (bowing) or whilst in the state of prostration or other than that for the purpose of supplicating , and what is the proof?

Answer:

The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The Imaam is to be followed”1 so there is no delaying (of following) the Imaam and there is no preceding him. The Imaam is followed and this is that which the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) commanded. ” Bow when he bows, prostrate when he prostrates, and when he says ‘Sami Allahu liman-hamidah (Allah heard those who sent praises to Him) say then ‘Rabbana wa lakal-hamd’ (O our Lord! All the praises are for you)”2

So the Imaam is to be followed; this is that which the Messenger  (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) commanded with.

Do i need to pray two rakaat if I left the masjid and returned a while after? Shaykh Fawzaan

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on . Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

If I exited from the masjid for a period of ten minutes then I returned is the greeting of the masjid (2 rakaat) binding upon me?

Answer:

If you exited with the intention to return and you returned soon then the greeting of the masjid is not upon you, because you take the ruling of being sat in the Masjid. As for if the time was long, then when you return you perform the greeting of the masjid because the separation was long and the first sitting has finished and this is a second sitting.

Shaykh Fawzaan: What is the meaning of the statement of Imaam Malik rahimahullah?

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Seeking Knowledge.

 

Shaykh Fawzaan was asked:

 

Question:

Is the statement of Imam Maalik rahimahullah: “Everyone’s statement can be taken or rejected except for the companion of this grave” Is this in the matters of Islamic Jurisprudence only and not in matters of Creed ?

 

Answer:

There is no (legitimate) differing in the matters of Creed (Aqeedah). There is no scope in (choosing to) take or reject (Issues of Aqeedah) because they are affairs founded upon the texts (of the Book and Sunnah) rather this (statement) is only (applicable) in the issues of jurisprudence. The speech of everyone in agreement with the evidences is taken and that which opposes the evidences is rejected. This is what Imaam Maalik (rahimahullah) intended.

Yes! Allah said this:

And this is an evidence upon the one who opposes the ijmaa, that indeed he has disbelieved.

Shaykh Fawzaan: Advice regarding parking cars…

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on . Posted in Articles, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

We have said to you more than once; do not park your cars in front of people’s gates/doors, people want to go in and out and carry things. So do not harm the people; May Allah reward you with good. It’s not a must that you park your car at the mosque; park it in (another) place, even if it is far from the mosque. Do not harm anyone and do not annoy or irritate anyone. (By parking in front of their drives,gates etc)

Shaykh Fawzaan: Whoever worships Allah with…..

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Fatawa-Rulings, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaykh Fawzaan was asked:

 

Question:

What is the ruling on those who say: We only worship Allah with love for him and we do not fear his punishment and we do not desire his reward?

 

This is a statement of the soofiyah; it is an error and refuge is sought with Allah. This is in opposition to the methodology of (all of) the Prophets (alayhimus Salaatu was Salaam).

 

Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call upon Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us. [Surah Al-Anbiya’ Verse 90]

 

Those whom they call upon [like Isa (Jesus) – son of Maryam (Mary), Uzair (Ezra), angel] desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah), as to which of them should be the nearest; and they [Isa (Jesus), Uzair (Ezra), angels and others] hope for His Mercy and fear His torment. Indeed the torment of your Lord is (something) to be afraid of. [Surah Al-Isra Verse 57]

 

Therefore, whoever worships Allah with fear only then he is a Khaarij; whoever worships Allah with hope only then he is from the murji’ah and whoever worships Allah with love only then he is a Soofi.

And (finally) whoever worships Allah with Love, Hope and Fear then he is a believer upon Tawheed.

Shaykh Fawzaan: What are the good and desired actions that are sought after in the blessed month of Ramadhaan?

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on . Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan hathidahullah was asked:

 

Question:

What are the good and desired actions that are sought after in the blessed month of Ramadhaan?

 

Answer:

The good and desired actions in Ramadhaan are many. The most important of them is to uphold the performance of that which Allah has obligated in Ramadhaan and other than Ramadhaan; such as praying and fasting, then increasing upon that to the supererogatory actions; from them: the recitation of the quran, the taraweeh prayers, tahajjud, (giving of) charity, i’tikaaf and increasing upon the remembrance (of Allah), the utterance of subhaanAllah, laa ilaaha illAllah, Allahu Akbar and sitting in the masjid for worship, and protecting the fast from that which will nullify it or that which will make it deficient of forbidden detestable actions and statements.
