Question:
Assalamualykum,
Can you please help me understand and implement the practical aspects of what we hear in Mawlana Shaykh Hisham’s suhbas – for example he mentioned about shuyukh overcoming sleep by praying two rakah nafl and asking Allah’s help to not sleep each time they feel sleepy and to do this for forty days. After 40 days of this mujahida Allah grants it to them.
To do this do we need Mawlana’s verbal permission or asking in muraqaba is enough?
Mawlana said for women the duration between their two consecutive menstrual cycles is enough for any wazifa – will this apply for this kind of mujahida too?
Thank you very much.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Yes to both (need explicit permission because it is seclusion), and Allah knows best.
