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

Written by Amjad Khan 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.

Do you cry, whilst he was Shaheed (Inshaa-Allaah)?!

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Pearls of Wisdom, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

One of the sons of the pious people’s was killed in Jihaad, so he (the pious man) weeped. Then it was said to him, ”You weep, whilst he was shaheed (inshaa-Allaah)?” He said: ”Rather I weep (thinking) how he was with regards to being pleased with the decree of Allaah when he was struck by the sword” [Ath-thabaat Indal Mamaat’ of Ibnul Jawzee: page:24]

Does Fasting Bring Benefits for the Society? – Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Answer:

Yes, it has societal benefits; and from them is that the people are made aware that they are one Ummah. They eat and fast at the same time; the wealthy are made aware of Allaah’s blessings and they give to the poor. The (treacherous plots) of shaytaan diminish and there is fear of Allaah in it (i.e. by obeying His commands and keeping away from what He has forbidden), and fear of Allaah strengthens the ties between individuals of a society.

It may be that a fasting person’s share of the fast is nothing else but……

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) narrated that the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ”It may be that a fasting person’s share of the fasting is nothing else but hunger and thirst.” [Imaam Ibn Maajah: 1690; Imaam Ahmad: 8639 and declared authentic by Imaam Albaanee in Saheeh Al-Jaami 3488, 3490]

 

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

Fasting is abstinence of the limbs from sins and abstinence of the stomach from food and drink. And just as food and drink nullifies and corrupts the fasting, likewise sins curtail its reward and corrupt its fruits, so it leads him (i.e. the person) to the position of one who has not fasted. [Sharh Waabilus Sayyib of Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz, (rahimahullaah), page: 32]

 

I am fasting with a country that preceded Saudi……

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question

I am fasting with a country that preceded Saudi (in fasting), so should I end the fasting with the country am fasting with or with Saudi, knowing that I will be staying there (i.e. in that other country) till after Eed?

Answer

At present you are following Saudi, so if they finish their fasting, you finish alongside them; but if they (i.e. that other country) complete thirty days and you are about to reach thirty one days, what is the ruling on ( this)? Allaah did not (legislate) that we fast thirty-one days, rather we either fast thirty days or twenty-nine days based on the sighting of the crescent. Therefore, some of the scholars say that you should break the fasting in secret when it reaches thirty days. [Al-Fataawaa Wad-Duroos Fil-Masjidil Haraam of Shaikh Abdullaah Bin Muhammad bin Humaid (rahimahullaah) page: 473]

Who is the fasting person?

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

The fasting person is the one whose limbs abstain from sins; his tongue (abstains) from lying, lewdness and false speech; his stomach (abstains) from food and drink and his private parts (abstain) from obscenity. When he speaks, he does not speak with what harms his fasting and when he acts he does not do what corrupts his fasting. All his speech comes out useful and righteous.

Likewise his actions are of the status of that scent that is smelled by the one who sits with the seller of musk, and likewise the one who sits with the fasting person is benefited by sitting with him and is saved from false speech, lies, evil deeds and oppression. This is the legislated fasting and not merely abstaining from food and drink.[1] And it is (reported) in the authentic hadeeth: ”Whoever does not give up lying speech (false statements) and acting on those lies and evil actions etc., Allaah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink.” [2]

He Heard a voice thinking that it was the Adhaan of Maghrib

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

What is the ruling on the one who eats before the adhaan of (Maghrib), because he committed a mistake; he heard a voice and thought that it was the adhaan and then broke his fast. Thereafter, it became clear to him that the Mu-addhin did not call the adhaan yet?

 

Answer:

If the sun had already set, then his fasting is correct. And if the sun had not, then his fasting is incorrect. If he doubted whether the sun had set or not and continued upon this (doubt), then the fasting should be repeated out of precaution. Repeat this day’s (fasting), and this is (done) out of precaution.” [Al-Fataawaa Wad-Duroos Fil Masjidil Haraam of Shaikh Abdullaah Bin Muhammad Bin Humaid (rahimahullaah) page: 517] 

 

He gargled and some water enters into his throat…..

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question

A person gargled and a little bit of water enters into him (i.e. his belly, down his throat etc.); is his fasting broken?

 

Answer:

If that was done intentionally, your fasting is broken. And if that was done unintentionally, your fasting is not broken and this fasting is correct. You gargled and some water entered into your throat unintentionally, this fasting is correct. It is similar to your sniffing water (during ablution) and it entered your throat unintentionally, this fasting is correct. But if that was done intentionally, you have committed an error and it is obligatory upon you to repeat that fasting.
