Salat for Women

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Shaykh Senad Agic

Question:

Salaamalaykum.
1.According to Hanafi madhab, when a woman does Sajdah, do her shins have to touch the ground? If not how should a woman perform sajdah? And according to what authority?
2.Could you also recommend books/websites to learn fiqh according to the Hanafi madhab?
3.If salah timings clash when one is in school- r they allowed to join their salah? for example, sometimes i miss asr (at around 3:00) because i am in a lesson and i join it with zuhr.. what would be recommended to do in this situation because i don’t think its a valid situation in which one may join their salah. What should be done?
4.What parts must be covered for one to be fulfilling the condition of Hijab? and does covering the chin hold any importance because many Shia women do it for some reason..
5.Also-why is it important to learn Arabic?
JAZAKALLAH KHAYR :)

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

1.  During Sujood (prostration) her body should be drawn together with the front of the thighs touching the stomach and the back placed on the calves, the shins placed flat on the ground and buttocks should touch the heels of the feet.

2.  Al-Fiqh Al-Islami According to the Hanafi Madhhab by Shaykh Akram Nadwi

3.  If you do all that you can but still not able to offer the prayer on time, there is nothing wrong with joining two prayers, so you may join
Zuhr and ‘Asr, and Maghrib and ‘Isha’, because of the report narrated by Muslim (705) from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) joined Zuhr and ‘Asr, and Maghrib and ‘Isha’, in Madinah when there was no fear and no rain. According to the hadeeth of Wakee’ he said: I said to Ibn ‘Abbas: Why did he do that? He said: So that his ummah would not be subjected to hardship, i.e., so that they would not face any difficulty.

4. It is not necessary for her to cover that part of her face which is washed while performing Wudhu, or the hands up to the wrists, or the upper feet up to the ankles.

5.. Arabic is the language of the Qur’an. Muslims are to study Arabic on some level in order to read Qur’an in its original form and in order to pray.

Dream:Lion

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Imam Kamau Ayyubi

Dream:

Aslamwalaykum Ya Sayyidi Ya Shaykh Hisham Kabbani and E Shaykh Staff.

My cousin had a dream, who is also a mureed of Sultan ul Awliya Sayyidi Shaykh Muhammed Nazim Adil Al Haqqani. In the dream we saw a wild lion and I went up to it and started playing with it, my cousin was telling me don’t go near the lion as it will eat you, but I carried on playing with it and fed the lion. What does it mean?

Interpretation:

Audhubillahiminashaytanirajeem

BismillahirRahmanirRahim
It means to build and trust your spiritual perception (ilm al yaqeen, ayn al yaqeen).

Wallahu Alam

Salat al Fatih and Tahlil

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Salam Alaik Shuyukh,

I have 2 questions regarding Salat al Fatih and Tahlil of Ahmad Idrissi Tariqa.

1) May I know what is Salat al Fatih and is it a part or type of Ijaza? And what is the procedure of getting/doing Salat al Fatih?

2) Can we recite and practice the Tahlil of Ahmad Idrissi Tariqa with the Naqshbandi Zikr? The Tahlil is: Lā ilāha illallāh Muhammadun rasūlullāh,
fī kulli lamhatin wa-nafasin, ‛adada mā wasi‛ahū ‛ilmullāh, which means “There is no other God than Allah and Muhammad (saw) is his Messenger, in every glance and every breath, as numerous as all that is contained within the Divine knowledge.”

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
You may read the descriptions already given on this forum. No ijaza is needed for Salawat. Salat on the Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) is a universal Divine order incumbent upon all existence and we are born not only with that permission, but with every cell in our being ordered to make magnification of him in every possible way. So do little or do much, “Never shall the tongues of creatures be able to exhaust the praise enjoined upon him.

Baya taking and leaving

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Assalamu alaikum.I am interested to take baya either to Moulana shyakh Hisham Kabbani or Moulana shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani.Preferably MSN.First onlime then whenever l get the opportunity to meet them then directly face to face. If l take the baya now and after sometime if l wish to dscontinue,can l discontinue and get disconnected ?

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

It makes no sense to take baya` with the expectation of later breaking it. That is like getting married with the intention of eventual divorce. Baya` is done only to the living Shaykh of the Tariqah. If you are serious in taking the hand of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani you may do so at Online Baya` on the Naqshbandi website.

Regarding Bayah

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Assalamualikum wr wbr,

Hope this finds you in best of health and goodness ,In sha Allahu ta’aala.

I have heard something called bayah owaisi….or bayah without being physicaly present in front of Shaykh…Please,shed some light on it.
Jazakumullaha Khayr

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

This can happen if the Shaykh appears to you and gives you baya` in a dream or even stronger, in a vision. Otherwise you must do it traditionally, or online, but renew it when you meet physically.

See The ‘Uwaysi’ Transmission of Spiritual Knowledge at naqshbandi.org.

Dream: Collapse of a building

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Imam Yassir Chadly

Dream:

My personal building, a duplex, partially collapsed but alhamdullilai, no member of my family got injured. It was fearful for me.

Interpretation:

Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm:

This dream can mean that you are going to spend some finances on your building and had fear of over spending. Do the dikr of Hasbunal lahu wa ni’mal wakeel at least 300 times a day. Your fear will disappear,  insha’Allah.

And Allah knows best.
