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.

The Ruling on People Making Adhaan in the Streets and Above their Houses to Ward off the Coronavirus


Question : Assalamu Alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu O, our Shaikh

May Allah be good to you

It is found in some lands that people are making Adhaan in the streets and after the 'Isha prayer above their houses as a way to ward off this epidemic [i.e. the Coronavirus]. Does this action have an origin in the Legislation? May Allah reward you.

Answer:

"Wa Alaykum us-Salam wa rahmatullahi wa baraktuhu

This is from ignorance. The Adhaan has its well-known position [in the Religion] based on evidence from the Legislation. The Adhaan is a communal obligation used to announce the entrance of the time for prayer. Some of the Scholars have also permitted it be recited in the ear of the newborn and the likes. As for people performing the Adhaan in the streets or above their houses in order to ward off this epidemic, then this is from ignorance!

Just yesterday some people in the Arab countries performed what resembled a demonstration. What resembled a march! People gathering together and walking in the streets with Takbeer and likes. Such an action more closely resembles displeasure [with Allah and His decree] than it resembles humility towards Him. This is ignorance. This is not humility [before Allah] nor is supplication made like this. Such people should be treated kindly and taught what to do. It is necessary that they:

- Be patient
- Seek the reward of Allah
- Have Imaan that what is decreed for them will occur
- Repent to Allah, the Exalted
- Increase in seeking refuge in Allah
- Increase in the remembrance of Allah, Tasbeeh, Tahmeed, Tahlil, Takbeer, Hawqala (saying La huwa la wa la Quwatta ila billah), sending salutations on the Prophet (ﷺ)
- Guard the remembrances which are specific for the morning and evening and when sleeping
- Guard the obligatory prayers and likewise the Sunnah ar-Raatibah
- Be keen on giving charity and supporting the poor and the needy
- Have humility before Allah
- Make dua especially in the times when it is answered and the likes of that from the righteous deeds

O my brothers, may Allah grant you success, write posts in every language about this matter. I have written a summarized article on performing Qunut [in regards to this epidemic illness] which will be published soon in Shaa Allah.

So I urge the Students of Knowledge of every land to write in every language on the correct stance in relation to this epidemic illness [i.e. the Coronavirus] and spread it through social media to the people, even if it be in a summarized manner such as this post, in order to teach them.

May Allah grant us all success towards all that is good.

🌱 *Sunnah to Fast in Sha'ban*🌱

It is narrated from Usama ibn Zayd (رضي الله عنه) that he asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ):
“ *I have never seen you offer fast in a month as you do in Sha'ban*.”
To which, the Prophet (ﷺ) replied:
“ *It is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that people disregard. In that month deeds are presented to the Lord of the Worlds, so I like my deeds to be presented while I am fasting*.” (Nasai)

Aishah (رضي الله عنها) reported:The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) did not observe voluntary Saum (fasting) so frequently during any other month as he did during Shaban. He observed Saum all of the month of Shaban.
And in another narration: He (ﷺ) observed Saum during the whole month of Sha
ban except a few days.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

🍃 *Clarifying the Doubt of Fasting the Second half of Sha'ban*🍃

Imaam Al-Nawawi (رحمه الله) said: “He used to fast all of Sha’ban and fast all of Sha’ban except a few days.” The second phrase is an explanation of the first, pointing out that by *“all”* what is meant is *“most”*. 

This hadeeth indicates that it is permissible to fast after halfway through Sha’ban, but only for one who joins that to what came before the halfway point. 

An exception from this prohibition is also made for one who is making up missed Ramadaan fasts. 
📚 *Source:*
Al-Majmoo’ (6/399)

🔦 *Benefits of Fasting in the Month  Sha'ban*

Fasting Sha'ban gives one the opportunity to start preparing for the month of Ramadan. When fasting, one must wake up early at Fajr time, and spends the day without eating and drinking, training himself for the fast of Ramadan.
Also reading the Noble Qur'an more in Sha'ban will aid one in reciting it in Ramadan. If one becomes accustomed with sitting and reading Qur'an in Sha'ban, by the permission of Allah, it will be easier for him in Ramadan.
Likewise, in this month the deeds of a person are presented in front of Allah, the Most-High, therefore, it becomes more beneficial if the deeds are presented at such a time when a person is in the condition of fasting.

And Allah knows best.

Class - 28/03/2020 8pm GMT LIVE

In a world full with immoralities and indecencies, the believer is tested and we all err.
The time to turn back to Allah, our Creator, is now.

This session given by our brother Abu Atiyah will, by Allah's Will, remind us of the importance of repentance and the fruits that it brings forth.

We ask Allah to forgive us for our shortcomings.

You can join the class at: www.taalib.co.uk/classes.
The disbelievers are in a state of dire need. I therefore advise the callers to Allah to take advantage of the opportunity to call them toward believing in Allah and his Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم because verily we notice that many of them see Islam as the solution.

Therefore with clarification and gentleness and supplication good would result from that. And when things were difficult for the Quraish they asked the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم to supplicate for them.

The Epidemic: Punishment or Blessing

The coronavirus outbreak has caused a global crisis with economies in loss and a worldwide lockdown. Muslims in many countries are unable to pray in mosques and there is fear that the mosques will continue to be closed during Ramadan.

During this testing time, we reflect upon the state of the believer when afflicted with trials and ponder on whether this epidemic is a punishment or a blessing for the Muslims.

The story of 'Umar Bin Al-Khattāb burying his daughter alive◾️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hatim Yusuf Al-'Inaabi Al-Jazaa'iree - may Allaah preserve him - on the 8th, Jumādl Ūwlā, 1438H

📥Question:

What's the authenticity of the story of 'Umar burying his daughter alive?

📤Answer:

📝Munkar and inauthentic, it hasn't got a chain of narration which can support it.
And (He) Al-Fārūq, may Allah be pleased with him, had Hafsa, may Allah be pleased with her, during the pre-Islamic Ignorance.

📌Perhaps this story is from the fabrications of the Shee'ah against him.

The ruling of circumcision for women◾️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hatim Yusuf Al-'Inaabi Al-Jazaa'iree - may Allaah preserve him - on the 9th, Jumādl Ūwla, 1438H

📥Question:

Is circumcision obligatory upon women?

📤Answer:

📝In Sahih Muslim, on the authority of the 'Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Prophet ﷺ said:
(إذا جلس بين شعبها الأربع ومسّ الختان الختان فقد وجب الغسل)
"If he sat between her four limbs and the two circumcisions met, then the ghusl becomes obligatory."

↪️In this hadith is a proof that the women would circumcise at the era of the Messenger ﷺ.

📍And in the two Sahihs on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said:
(الفطرة خمس: الختان..)
"The Fitrah are five: Circumcision..."

Until the end of the hadith.

↪️This (the mention of Circumcision) is general, it includes both the male and female circumcision.

📌Circumcision in regards to the women is [also] called:
(خفضاً) (Khafd)

📌And there is no differing on it being preferred, as mentioned by Ibn-Ul-Qayyim and Ibn Hazm has relayed a concensus upon this.

📍Its obligation (however) was differed upon, and the most correct position is that it's Mustahab (preferred), and there is nothing established which points to it being obligated.

And Allah knows best.
