Warning about Friday prayers in homes
*Much questions/calls* about Friday prayers in countries that prevented prayers in the mosque for fear of Corona Virus
The answer was to pray *dhuhr* in their homes and where they were, and it is not suitable for a separate Friday in the houses.
This is the fatwa of the permanent committee and the fatwa of our Sheikh Abdul Mohsen Al-Abbad and our Sheikh Yahya bin Ali Al-Hajouri, may Allah Almighty protect them.

▪️Questions sent from America concerning the CORONAVIRUS▪️
Our Shaykh, Muḥammad ibn Ḥizām -may Allāh preserve him- was asked the following questions:
📩 QUESTION 1:
Is it permissible for a Muslim to avoid attending the congregational prayers as well as the Jumu'ah prayer in the masjid due to fear of Coronavirus - bearing in mind that the effect of this virus and its spread is something proven/true?
📝 ANSWER:
If the virus has spread amongst the people in that community and he strongly believes that he may be infected, then he is excused from attending the congregation.
However, in reality, this affair has been blown out of proportion.
Firstly, the spread/transmission of this virus (from one person to the next) is not something certain; everything is the hands of Allah.
Secondly, the number of people infected by this virus is very few, in comparison to those are un-infected.
Therefore, it's not appropriate for a Muslim to leave off attending the Friday prayer as well as the congregational prayers due to this. He must place his trust in Allah and take the precautionary measures; such as, avoiding physical contact, wearing a face mask, and avoiding mixing with people (unnecessarily). As for leaving off the congregation, then a Muslim should not do so.

📩 QUESTION 2:
Is it permissible to combine between the prayers due to the coronavirus?
📝 ANSWER:
No, they must not combine between the prayers. One must place his trust in Allah ﷻ along with taking the necessary precautions that were mentioned previously, and he must offer each prayer at its appointed time.
{قُل لَّن یُصِیبَنَاۤ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰنَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡیَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ}
Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

📩 QUESTION 3:
In light of the authorities restricting public gatherings to a maximum of fifty people, is it permissible for us to establish more than one Friday prayer, I.e. fufty people attend the first khuṭbah, then another fifty in the next, and so on?
📝 ANSWER:
What is correct is that it is not not legislated to establish more than one Friday prayer in the same venue. If the authorities have placed these restrictions, then they should pray in different locations. As for establishing more than one Friday prayer in the same venue, then there's no proof for this.
I see that they should pray in different locations; some of them should pray in the masjid, and others elsewhere.
May Allah relieve us and you all.

📩 QUESTION 4:
Some of the masjids which establish the congregational prayers (in these times) do so in a strange manner; that is, they say, due to this virus, eveyone must line up three feet apart from each other. So, is this considered a congregational prayer and is the prayer offered in this manner valid?
📝 ANSWER:
This is incorrect.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
((رصوا صفوفكم، وقاربوا بينها وحاذوا الأعناق))
"Stand close together in your rows, keep nearer to one another, and put your necks in line."
Straightening the rows is by standing next to one another with the ankles in line.
Whereas, these people are leaving gaps between the rows, and the Prophet ﷺ clearly said:
((لا تذروا فرجات للشيطان))
"Do not leave gaps for Shayṭān."
And he ﷺ said:
((ألا تصفون كما تصف الملائكة عند ربها؟" فقلنا: يا رسول الله وكيف تصف الملائكة عند ربها؟ قال: "يتمون الصفوف الأُول، ويتراصون في الصف))
"Why do you not stand in rows as the angels do before their Lord?" We asked: "O Messenger of Allāh! how do the angels stand in rows before their Lord?" He (ﷺ) replied, "They complete each row beginning with the first and filling all the gaps."
So everyone should stand feet to feet.
Furthermore, this virus is not (commonly) transmitted by standing feet to feet. It is transmitted via the mouth and the nose, or even the eyes, and also through hand contact. As for it being transmitted by feet contact, then this is unrealistic.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Due to the ongoing outbreak of Covid-19, it is with regret that ALL our weekly lessons at The Selby Centre are CANCELLED until further notice.
As believers in Allah we are required to take our precautions in trials like these, whilst returning to Allah and increasing in actions.
From the objectives of the Islamic Sharee'ah is the Preservation of Religion and Preservation of Life. These are matters ordained by our Creator which we remind ourselves and the Muslim Community. After taking advice from our Senior Brothers, we decided to cancel all classes. Taking this decision and consulting each other is something advised in the Quran as Allah says,
"And consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah . Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him]" .
Surah Imraan, 159.
Aswell as relying upon Allah we have to take precautions, as Allah says,
یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ خُذُوا۟ حِذۡرَكُمۡ الآية
Oh you who believe! Take your precautions...(4:71)
So based on this and the fact that this disease can spread rapidly in a place where alot of people gather, as well as not knowing whether the Selby Centre would continue to be open or closed as they are not giving us certainty and the partial suspension of public transport; We have therefore, with regret, decided all lessons and talks at TOTTENHAM DAWAH are cancelled untill further notice.
I ask Allah to aid the muslims and make a way out for us from these times of calamities.
Jazakamuallahu Khairaan for your patience with us and our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

▪️What do you say when the mu'adhin says, "Aṣ-Ṣalātu khayrum min-an-Nawm" & "Ṣallū fī buyūtikum"▪️
Our Shaykh, Muḥammad ibn Ḥizām -may Allāh preserve him- was asked the following question:
📩 Question:
The questioner says: What does the one repeating after the Mu'adhin say if hears him say,
((الصلاة خير من النوم))
'Prayer is better than sleep'
(which is said in the first adhān of Fajr)?
📝 Answer:
Nothing authentic has come in this regard, so the correct opinion is that one remains silent.
As for what some individuals say; "Ṣadaqta wā bararta" [you have spoken the truth], then there is nothing to support this.
Also, one should not repeat (these words) after the mu'adhin, because the purpose behind repeating after the mu'adhin is for people to follow (and repeat) after the rememberances, however, "prayer is better than sleep" is not considered a rememberance, as opposed to, "Allāhu Akbar" [Allāh is the greatest!] - which is a rememberance.
Hence, when the mu'adhin says, "Ḥayya 'ala-ṣ-Ṣalāh" & "Ḥayya 'alal-Falāḥ" [come to prayer & come to success] one does not repeat these statements (after mu'adhin) as the Sharee'ah has substituted that with a rememberance; "Lā hawla wa Lā quwwata illā Billāh" [there is no power and no strength except with Allāh]. And this is an appropriate substitution, because the slave does not undertake any act of worship except with the help of Allāh.
The meanings of 'Hayya 'ala-ṣ-Ṣalāh' and Hayya 'ala-l-Falāḥ' are 'come to prayer', 'come to sucess', and because it is not appropriate for one to repeat after the mu'adhin in this instance, it has been replaced with a word of rememberance, '"Lā hawla wa Lā quwwata illā Billāh" .
As for the mu'adhin's saying, 'prayer is better than sleep', no substitution has come in this case; not "Lā hawla wa Lā quwwata illā Billāh", or anything else, so one remains silent upon hearing this.
Similarly, when the mu'adhin says, 'pray in your homes' or 'pray in your residence', this takes the same ruling; meaning, you should not repeat them after the mu'adhin - unlike the rest of the adhān, and -in shā Allāh--you will get the full reward.

Seeing as most of us are going to be offering our prayers at home/offices with our families/ colleagues, here's something to bear in mind:
JAMĀ'AH FORMATIONS
1⃣
If there are 2 MALES praying together, then all, but a few, of the scholars have said that the Imām stands on the left and the one being led stands on the right of the Imām, in line with him.
The proof for this is the Ḥadīth of Ibn 'Abbās, may Allāh be pleased him, where he said:
"I prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) one night and stood on his left side. Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) caught hold of my head from behind and drew me to his right and then offered the (night) prayer and slept. [Bukhāri & Muslim]
Most of the scholars have also said that if the one being led stands on the left of the Imām, instead of the right side, the pray is still valid, but he has opposed the Sunnah. The proof for this is the fact that, in the aforementioned Ḥadīth, the Prophet ﷺ did not instruct Ibn 'Abbās to restart his prayer, but rather, after the Prophet ﷺ drew him to the other side, he continued on with his prayer.
NOTE:
Everything mentioned above applies to women. So, if there are two women praying together, the one leading stands on the left, and the one being led stands on the right.
2️⃣
If there are 3 males praying together, the Imām stands at the front, and the rest form a row behind him.
The proof for this is the long Ḥadīth of Jābir which is reported by Muslim towards the end of his Ṣahīh. In the Ḥadīth, Jābir was standing on the right of the Prophet ﷺ in prayer, then, another Ṣaḥābī by the name of Jabbār ibn Ṣakhr, joined in and stood on the left of the Prophet ﷺ, so the Prophet ﷺ took them (Jābir & Jabbār) both by their hands and drew them back.
If there are more than three males praying together, then there is ijmā' (consensus) that everyone stands in line behind the Imām.
3️⃣,4️⃣,6️⃣,7️⃣&8️⃣
Anas, may Allāh be pleased with him, narrated:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed in the house of Umm Sulaim; and I, along with an orphan stood behind him while Umm Sulaim (stood) behind us."
[Bukhāri & Muslim]
If a man is praying with a woman, then -according to the Ḥadīth of Anas above- the woman stands behind the men/Imām. If another male joins this congregation, he goes and stands on the right of the Imām, and if a third male joins, the Imām should take a step forward so that the two men can form a row behind him, and in all of the above cases, the woman remains alone behind the males. If another woman joins this congregation, she will stand in line with this woman.

If another male joins this congregation, he goes and stands on the right of the Imām, and if a third male joins, the Imām should take a step forward so that the two men can form a row behind him, and in all of the above cases, the woman remains alone behind the males. If another woman joins this congregation, she will stand in line with this woman.
