Uthaimeen: Finish Any Fasts You Have to Make Up for Ramadaan [Qadaa] Before Fasting the Six of Shawwaal

Shaikh Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, said, “The Sunnah is that a person fasts the six days of Shawwaal after finishing the make-up fasts [qadaa] of Ramadaan not before.  So if he had some fasts to make-up [due to having missed some in Ramadaan] but he fasted the six days of Shawwaal before the make-up fasts, he will not obtain their reward [i.e., the reward of the six of Shawwaal], because the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Whoever fasts Ramadaan …” and it is not correct to say about a person who has some fasts from Ramadaan still incumbent upon him that he has fasted Ramadaan, rather he has only fasted some of it.”

The Shaikh on the Hadith, “Du’aa is worship …” by The Albaani Blog

Explaining the hadith, “Du’aa is worship …” Shaikh al-Albaani, may Allaah have mercy on him said, “And there is no doubt that arrogantly refusing to worship and supplicate to Him, the Most High, necessitates His Anger against the one who does not call on Him … and some of the ignorant Sufis are ignorant or feign ignorance of these hadiths under the assumption that supplicating to Allaah is to show bad manners to Him, being affected in that by the Israa’ili narration, ‘His Knowledge of my condition suffices me from having to ask!’  So they were ignorant of the fact that a servant supplicating to his Lord is not in order to inform Him of his need, for He, “… knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden,” [Taa Haa 20:7] but rather that it is in order for him to manifest his servitude [to Allaah], his need of Him and his destitution [before Him].”

A benefit extracted from Tafsir As-Si'dee rahimahul-llah

Imam Abdur-Rahmaan bin Naasir As-Si'dee rahimahul-llah (died year 1376) commented on verse 3 in Al-Baqarah {Who believe in the unseen, establish the prayer and spend out from what We have provided for them} : 

"At many times the exalted combined between the prayer and the Zakaah in the Qur'aan. This is because the prayer entails sincerity to the worshiped, and Zakaah and spending entail being good to his servants. So the rubric of happiness of the servant is in him being sincere to the worshiped and exerting effort to benefit the creation. Similarly the rubric of the unhappiness of the servant is having no sincerity nor being good" End

Al-Albaani Warning Against Native Arab Speakers Who Have Doctorates But Not Knowledge, What of Those Who Have Neither Doctorate Nor Arabic, Let Alone Knowledge? by The Albaani Blog

The Imaam said, “And in this regard, I advise the noble readers not to trust what is written these days in some of the magazines in circulation or widespread books containing Islamic research, especially those which are concerning the science of hadith, except if they are, firstly, written by the pen of someone whose [understanding of the]religion is trusted, and secondly that his knowledge and speciality in it [are trusted too]–for self-importance has conquered many of the writers of the present age, especially those who carry the title of, ‘Dr.,’ for they write about things which are not from their speciality, and about which they have no knowledge.

And indeed I know one of these individuals, he recently brought out a book before the people, most of it being about hadith and the seerah, thinking that in it he had relied upon authentic hadiths and narrations from the books of the Sunnah and Seerah! [Yet] then he [proceeds to] report narrations and hadiths in it which are unique in only being reported by the weak narrators, the abandoned narrators and those who have been accused of lying, like Waqidi and others. In fact, he reported the hadith, ‘We judge by what is apparent and leave what is hidden to Allaah,’ and he was resolute in attributing it to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم even though it has no basis [in being a narration] from him صلى الله عليه وسلم with this wording–so, readers, beware of people like these.

Where will you be praying Taraweeh?

“Where will you be praying Taraweeh then?” A common question that is often repeated throughout this blessed month. However, many are oblivious to the fact there is in fact some‘fiqh’ behind this question as will soon be very evident….

“Muhammad bin Bahr said regarding the prohibition of searching and attending Masaajid due to the beauty of the recitation of the Imam (as quoted in Badaa’i al Fawaa’id 4/111):

'I saw Abu Abdullah (i.e. Imam Ahmad) in the Ramadhan and Fadl bin Ziyaad was leading him in Taraweeh. He had beautiful recitation and thus many mashaayikh and many locals gathered together until the mosque was full. Then Abu Abdullah climbed the staircase of the mosque and looked to the congregation and said:

“What is this! Why are you all leaving your [local] mosques and attend other mosques?”

Thereafter, [Fadl] lead them in prayer for a few more nights and then [Abu Abdullah] stopped him from leading the prayers due to disliking what he saw, i.e. the emptying of other mosques. Thus it is upon the neighbour of a mosque pray in his local mosque.’ [End of quote from Badaa'i]

And from Ibn al Qayyim’s research of the principle ‘sadd adh-dharaa’i’ in his book ‘i’laam al muwaqqi’een 2/160 he says:

‘The 54th point: The Prophet [saw] forbade the man to disregard the mosque which is closest to him and opt for another mosque as is in the narration of Baqiyyah on the authority of al Majaashi’ bin ‘Amr on the authority of ‘Ubaydullah on the authority of Naafi’ on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet [saw] said:

“One of you must pray in the mosque which is closest to him and should not disregard it for another mosque.”

And that is so in order to prevent the abandonment of the mosque which is closer and to prevent the Imam from feeling abandoned and lonely.

However, if the Imam was of the habit of not performing the prayer correctly, or he was accused of innovations or openly expressed evilness, then there is no harm for a person to pray in another mosque.” [end of quote from 'i'laam]

The hadeeth which was reported in at-Tabaraani’s al Awsat as well as al-Jaami’ as-Sagheer andKanz al ‘Ummaal 6/659 as well as Majma’ az-Zawaa’id of al Haythami who said:

“Its [i.e. chain of narration] is trustworthy except for the Shaykh of at-Tabaraani: Muhammad bin Ahmed bin Nasr al Marwazi as I have not seen anyone who wrote a biography of him.” [end of quote]. at-Tabaraani also reported it in al Mu’jam al Kabeer 12/370….

And on the authority of Nawfal bin Iyaas who said: “We used to pray in the time of ‘Umar ibn al Khattab in the mosque. A group of people would pray here and another group in another place and the people would choose to pray with the one with the best voice. Thus Umar said:“I see that they have taken the Qur’an as melodious tunes! By Allah if I am able, I will change this matter. Three nights did not pass by except that he commanded Ubayy to lead them in prayer.” This was reported by al Bukhaari in khalq af’aal al ‘ibaad p.51 and Ibn Sa’ad inat-Tabaqaat (5/51) and al Marwazi in Qiyaam al-Layl.

And I have only brought your attention to this matter because it is exemplifying our circumstances today on a wide scale. Furthermore, virtuous deeds are not attained by committing prohibited deeds. And likewise because it is a trial for the Imam of the congregation. And Allah knows best.”

[End of translation]

The hadeeth of the Prophet [saw] was also declared authentic by Al-Albani to be saheeh insaheeh al Jaami’ (2/5456) which a slightly different wording as well as in as-Saheehah (2200).

And Allah knows best.

Taken from: The Clear Sunnah

Minor Sins Will be Pardoned if One Refrains from Major Sins

In the Name of Allaah, the Extremely Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy

Allaah said,

﴿إِن تَجْتَنِبُواْ كَبَآئِرَ مَا تُنهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَـتِكُمْ﴾

(If you avoid the great sins which you are forbidden to do, We shall remit from you your (small) sins,)

Al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) said: Meaning, if you avoid the major evil deeds that you were prohibited We will forgive you the minor evil deeds and will admit you into Paradise. 

This is why Allaah said,

﴿وَنُدْخِلْكُمْ مُّدْخَلاً كَرِيماً﴾

(and admit you to a Noble Entrance (i.e. Paradise).)

There are several ahaadeeth on the subject of this honorable aayah. Imaam Ahmad recorded that Salman Al-Faarisee (radhiy’Allaahu `anhu) said,

"The Prophet (salla’Allaahu `alayhi wasallam) said to me, ‘Do you know what the day of Al-Jumu`ah is?’ I said, ‘It is the day during which Allah brought together the creation of your father (Aadam).’ He (salla’Allaahu `alayhi wasallam) said,

«لكِنْ أَدْرِي مَا يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، لَا يَتَطَهَّرُ الرَّجُلُ فَيُحْسِنُ طُهُورَهُ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْجُمُعَةَ فَيُنْصِتُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ الْإمَامُ صَلَاتَهُ، إِلَّا كَانَ كَفَّارَةً لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ، مَا اجْتُنِبَتِ الْمَقْتَلَة»

(I know what the day of Jumu`ah is. Anyone who takes a bath and cleans himself as much as he can and then proceeds for the Friday prayer and remains quiet until the Imaam finishes the prayer, all his sins in between the present and the next Friday will be forgiven, as long as major sins were avoided.)'"

Al-Bukhaaree recorded similar wording from Salmaan Al-Faarisee.

The Punishment for One who Intentionally Breaks His Fast!

Ibn Khuzaymah (1986) and Ibn Hibbaan (7491) narrated that Aboo Umaamah al-Baahili (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:

I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say:

Whilst I was sleeping, two men came to me and took hold of my upper arm, and brought me to a rugged mountain. They said: Climb up.’ I said: I cannot do it.’ They said: We will make it easy for you.’ So I climbed up until I was at the top of the mountain. There I heard loud voices. I said: What are these voices?’ They said: This is the screaming of the people of Hell.’ Then I was taken and I saw people suspended by their ankles, with the corners of their mouths torn and pouring with blood. I said: Who are these?’ They said: These are the people who broke their fast before it was time to do so.’

[Classed as Saheeh by al-Albaanee in Saheeh Mawaarid adh-Dham-aan, 1509].

al-Albaanee (may Allaah have mercy on him) commented: I say: This is the punishment of the one who fasted then deliberately broke his fast before the time for iftaar had come.So how about one who does not fast at all? We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound in this world and in the Hereafter.

The Manners of Laughing فائدة .. التبسم والضحك Benefit…smiling and laughing

The Noble Sheik Abu Abdullah Abdur Rahman ibn Sa’dee, may Allah have mercy upon him, said

“Therefore Sulaiman peace and blessings are upon him, heard her (the ant’s) statement and he understood it,

“So he (Sulaiman) smiled, amused at her speech” (Chapter 27 verse 19)

So he admired her advice to her nation and the good way she expressed herself. And this is the condition of the Prophets, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon them, they had complete manners and they would show admiration or be impressed at the right times although their laughter would not go beyond a smile. Such was the Messenger of Allah peace and blessings are upon him, most of his laughter was (only) smiling.

Because verily boisterous laughing ( القهقهة ) is a sign of foolishness and bad manners and not smiling and being impressed at those things that are impressive is a sign of vile character and arrogance; and the Messengers are free from such a thing.

Standing the night of the 15th of Sha’baan in prayer and fasting during it’s day

Question: Is standing the night of the 15th of Sha’baan in prayer and fasting during it’s day legislated?

Response: Nothing firm and reliable has been established on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that he stood in prayer in the night and fasted during the day of the 15th of Sha’baan. So the night of the 15th of Sha’baan is like any other night, and if someone is a regular worshipper during other nights, then he may stand the night in prayer on this night without assuming anything special (because of it being the night of the 15th of Sha’baan). This is because specifying a time for any act of worship requires a authentic proof, so if there is no authentic proof then the act is regarded as an innovation and all innovations are misguidance. Likewise, regarding specifically fasting during the 15th day of Sha’baan, then no (authentic) proof has been established on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) to indicate the legislation of fasting on that particular day.

As for that which is mentioned from the ahaadeeth regarding this subject, then all of it is weak as the people of knowledge have indicated. However, whoever has the habit of fasting the 13th, 14th and 15th (of every month), then he can continue and fast during Sha’baan as he fasts during the other months, without assuming anything special about the 15th of Sha’baan. Also, the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) used to increase in fasting during this month (Sha’baan), however, he did not particularise the 15th day, rather proceeded as per norm.

So the night of the 15th of Sha’baan is like any other night, and if someone is a regular worshipper during other nights, then he may stand the night in prayer on this night without assuming anything special (because of it being the night of the 15th of Sha’baan). This is because specifying a time for any act of worship requires a authentic proof, so if there is no authentic proof then the act is regarded as an innovation and all innovations are misguidance. Likewise, regarding specifically fasting during the 15th day of Sha’baan, then no (authentic) proof has been established on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) to indicate the legislation of fasting on that particular day.

As for that which is mentioned from the ahaadeeth regarding this subject, then all of it is weak as the people of knowledge have indicated. However, whoever has the habit of fasting the 13th, 14th and 15th (of every month), then he can continue and fast during Sha’baan as he fasts during the other months, without assuming anything special about the 15th of Sha’baan. Also, the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) used to increase in fasting during this month (Sha’baan), however, he did not particularise the 15th day, rather proceeded as per norm.

Bid`ah Alert for 15th of Sha`baan

Specifying the day of the 15th of Sha’baan by fasting or reciting the Qur.aan or performing naafilah prayers

Question: We see some people specifying the 15th of Sha’baan with particular supplications and reciting the Qur.aan and performing naafilah prayers. So what is the correct position concerning this, and may Allaah reward you with good?

Response: That which is correct is that fasting the 15th of Sha’baan or specifying it with reciting (the Qur.aan) or making (particular) supplications has no basis. So the day of the 15th of Sha’baan is like any other 15th day of other months. So from that which is known is that it has been legislated for a person to fast the 13th, 14th and 15th of every month, however, Sha’baan is characterised unlike the other months in that (except for Ramadhaan) the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) used to fast more in Sha’baan than any other month. So he used to either fast all of Sha’baan or just a little. Therefore, as long as it does not cause difficulty for a person, it is befitting to increase in fasting during Sha’baan in adherence to the example of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam).
