📝🔹Question:

Is it permissible to perform the 'Adhaan' the call to the prayer in the ear of a newborns after the labour?

📩🔸Answer:

It's not permissible, and the narration in its regard is unauthentic.

Albaani, may Allah have mercy upon him, used to declare it authentic then he saw it to be unauthentic and then declared it as such.

Where does one look in the prayer?▪️

Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shu'ayb - may Allah preserve him- said:

“Where does the one praying look during his prayer?
The opinion of the majority of the Scholars is the recommendation of looking at the place of prostration in all the prayer, except for the position of Tashahhud. He looks at his index finger [in this position]. They have for this opinion Ahaadith, however all of them are weak except the fact that looking at the place of prostration is closer to Khushoo’.

As for looking at the index finger in the position of Tashahhud, then there is the Hadith of Abdullah ibn az-Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him):
كَانَ إِذَا قَعَدَ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ بَصَرُهُ إِشَارَتَهُ
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat to say the tashahhud, he placed his left hand on his left thigh and pointed with his forefinger, and his gaze did not go beyond he finger with which he was pointing.

Reported by Ahmad (4/3), Abu Dawood (no. 990), and Nasaai (no. 1274). Graded authentic by al-Albani.

The Malikiyyah took the opinion to look forward. Their proof is:

1. The Hadith of Baraa ibn ‘Azib (may Allah be pleased with him):
‎وَكَانَ، غَيْرَ كَذُوبٍ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا صَلَّوْا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَامُوا قِيَامًا حَتَّى يَرَوْنَهُ قَدْ سَجَدَ‏.‏
Whenever we offered prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he raised his head from the bowing, we used to remain standing till we saw him prostrating [Bukhari no. 747]

2. The Hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the Eclipse prayer:

‎قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، رَأَيْنَاكَ تَنَاوَلُ شَيْئًا من مَقَامِكَ
O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! We saw you trying to take something while standing at your place [Reported by Bukhari no. 748]

So in these Ahaadith is the evidence that those behind the Imam look at their Imam.

Bukhari placed a chapter: (Raising the eyes to the Imam in prayer)
Ibn Battal rahimahullah said: “In this Hadith is evidence for Malik that the gaze of the one praying is towards the Qiblah”

Hafidh Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy upon) said: “It is possible that the meaning of the chapter is that the origin of the one behind the Imam is to gaze at the place of the prostration because that is desirable for Khushoo’ except if he needs to look at what the Imam is doing to follow his example. And Allah Knows Best” [Fathul-Bar (2/233)]

He also said: “It is possible to separate between the Imam and the one who is behind the Imam. So it is recommended for the Imam to look at the place of prostration. Likewise the one behind the Imam except when he needs to observe his Imam. As for the one who is alone, then his ruling is the ruling of the Imam” [Fathul-Bari (2/232)]

Al-Albani rahimahullah said: “It is a good combination [between the evidences]”
[Asl as-Sifah (1/233)]

▪️Prayer beads▪️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shu'ayb - may Allah preserve him- on the 8th, Jumada Al-Aakhirah, 1440H

📝🔹Question:

What's the ruling concerning prayer beads?
And does it reach the level of innovation or is it an affair of permissible differing?

📩🔸Answer:


Performing the remembrances with it is considered an innovation upon that which correct and chosen in this affair.
And upon this are the fatawaa of Al-Albaani and Al-Waadi'ee, may Allah have mercy upon them, likewise Shaykh 'Abdulmuhsin Al-'Abaad, may Allah preserve him, declared the beads to be an innovation, and when we investigate the affair we find the narrations which mention using pebbles in the remembrance of Allah all to be unauthentic.
Likewise it has not been authentically affirmed from neither Abu Hurayrah nor other than him from the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, to have used pebbles in the remembrance of Allah, rather it has been authentically established from Ibn Mas'uud and Abu Moosa to have rebuked the individuals that had a circle of remembrance in a masjid using pebbles to count their remembrances, whereby Ibn Mas'uud is reported to have said: "count your sins".
And those that have fatawaa permitting this rely upon unauthentic narrations and likewise upon (istihsaanaat) bettering an affair.

And the best of guidance and example is that of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and he would use his hand in counting the rembrances.

▪️A traveller shortened and combined the prayers, he then went to sit in the Masjid and they prayed but he didn’t pray with them▪️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shu'ayb - may Allah preserve him- on the 10th, Jumada Al-Aakhirah, 1440H

📩🔹Question:

There is a traveler who has shortened and combined the prayer due to him being a traveller and then entered the masjid before the 'asr prayer and sat through the 'asr prayer and did not pray with the congregation, and when I enquired concerning this he replied "I have already shortened and combined [the prayers]".

What's the ruling of this action of his?

📩🔸Answer:

Him sitting in the masjid while the people are praying is a mistake, the correct thing to do was to pray the prayer with the people and it would've been supererogatory.

▪️Plucking white hairs▪️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shu'ayb - may Allah preserve him- on the 23rd, Shawwaal, 1440H

📝🔹Question:

What is the ruling of plucking white hairs from ones head?

📩🔸Answer:

It's disliked upon the position of the majority of the people of knowledge.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
(لَا تَنْتِفُوا الشَّيْبَ، فَإِنَّهُ نُورُ الْمُسْلِمِ، مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَشِيبُ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةٌ، وَرُفِعَ بِهَا دَرَجَةً، أَوْ حُطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةٌ)
"Don't pluck the white hairs, for it is the light of a Muslim, there is not a Muslim that grows a white hair while in a state of Islam except that Allah writes for him a reward, and raises him by way of it a level or removes a mistake from him by way of it."
[Reported by Ahmed, Abu Dauud, by way of 'Abdullah bin 'Amr]

And Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
"It's disliked for a man to pluck his white hairs from his head and beard."
[Reported by Muslim]

▪️Opposing the truth and it's people has a detrimental affect and it reduces a person's standing▪️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shu'ayb - may Allah preserve him- on the 28th, Sha'baan, 1439H

📝🔹Question:

We heard your warnings from Shaykh Rabee' Al-Madkhali, whereby you said he is not upon correctness and that he has disunited the callers in Yemen due to his approach on affairs, but do we free ourselves from him and his followers and deal with them in line with the principle of Walaa wal baraa (allegiancing and disallegiencing for the sake of Allah)?

And what do we understand from the statement of Al-Albaani: "we are with Rabee' in knowledge but not in approach."?

📩🔸Answer:

Ahlusunnah likewise, until very recently, were with Shaykh Rabee'. They venerated and loved him, until he aided the trialed Baraamikah in their assault against the dawah of our Shaykh, Shaykh Muqbil and the dawah of our Shaykh, Shaykh Yahya and Dammaj, the centre of knowledge, as well as the men of the Salafi Da'wah in Yemen. So this bore its affect on him, and aid is sought with Allah.

▪️ Which is more virtuous, to lead the prayer or performing the athaan?▪️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shuayb - may Allah preserve him- on the 4th, Saffar, 1440H

📝🔹Question:

Our sheikh Abu Hamza may Allah bless you, which is more virtuous, the imaam or the mua'thin (the one who makes the call for prayer)?

📩🔸Answer:

The people of knowledge have differed in regards to which is more virtuous into various opinions:

The first of them:
That leading the prayer is more virtuous, this is the mathab [the position] of the Hanafeeyyah (those who attribute themselves to Abu Haneefah) and the most commonly known opinion of the Maalikeeyyah (those who attribute themselves to Imaam Maalik) and some of the Shaafi'eeyyah (those who attribute themselves to Imam Ash-Shaafi'ee), and it is one of the reported positions of Ahmad.

The second:
That making the Athaan (call to the prayer) is more virtuous, this is the opinion of Ash-Shaafi'ee and the majority of his companions, and it is one of the reported positions of Ahmad, and this is the opinion that Imaam An-Nawwawi and Shaykhul Islaam have chosen.

The third:
They are both the same in virtue, this is one of the opinions of the Hanifeeyah and Maalikeeyah and Shaafi'eeyah.

The fourth:
If he knows that he is able to fulfill all the rights of being the imaam and all of its characteristics then it is more virtuous, and if he is not able, then the Athaan is more virtuous, this has been said by the Maalikeeyah and Shaafi'eeyah.

Those who have given preference of the Imaam over the Mua'tthin have used as evidence that the Prophet ﷺ and the rightly guided caliphs were Imaams and were not from those who performed the Athaan and likewise the major scholars after them.
And also from the evidences they use is that only the one who is most fit and most virtuous is to be chosen to lead (unlike the athaan) as it has come in the hadeeth of Maalik Ibn Al-huwayrith - may Allah be pleased with him - whereby he said: the Prophet ﷺ said to us:《"...one of you perform the Athaan and the eldest of you should you lead the prayer."》
And the hadeeth of Abi Mas'ood Al-Ansaari -may Allah be pleased with him- said: the Prophet ﷺ said:《"the one who is well versed in the book of Allah is to lead the people (in prayer), and if they are equally versed, then the most knowledgeable of them of the sunnah, if they are equal in that, then the one who made hijrah (migration from the lands of sin and disbelief to the lands of obedience and Imaan) first, and if they are equal in hijrah then the earliest one to accept islaam."》

And those who have preferred the Athaan have used as evidence, all of that which has been affirmed from the Ahaadeeth which show the virtues of the Athaan.
And they have answered ( to which was previously mentioned) of the adherence of the Prophet ﷺ to leading and likewise those who came after him from the caliphs and the scholars that they did not perform the Athaan as they were busy rectifying the affairs of the muslims, the job which nobody could have done except them, so they had no time to do the Athaan nor keep track of its time, as for leading the people, then they would of had to pray, and that which supports this explanation is the statement of Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab -may Allah be pleased with him- reported by Al-Bayhaqi with a authentic chain of narration that he said "if i could have endured the responsibilities of the Athaan whilst being a caliph then I would have performed the Athaan." End of speech from the book 'Al-majmoo3' (3/78)

Shaikh Al-islaam -may Allah have mercy on him- said:
"as for his leadership ﷺ and the leadership of the rightly guided caliphs, then this was something assigned for him, for it is indeed a job for the greatest Imaam, and it was not possible to combine between being the Imaam and performing the Athaan, thus being the Imaam in their respect was more virtuous than the Athaan due to their specific roles, even if it may be that the Athaan is better according to the majority of the people"
