When Is It Best To Start Congratulating Each Other For Eid – Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah

Question:

When is it best to start congratulating each other for Eid?

Answer:

It should be on the day of eid after the prayer as it comes in some narrations

بإسناد حسن عن جبير بن نفير قال ” كان أصحاب رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – إذا التقوا يوم العيد يقول بعضهم لبعض : تقبل الله منا ومنك

Hafidh Ibn Hajr rahimahullah said:

“With a Hasan chain from Jubair ibn Nufayr said: The Companions of the Messenger sallahu alayhi wa salam if they used to met on the day of eid they would say to one another: May Allah accept from you and me”

[Fathul Bari]

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah was asked:

Question:

Is the greeting on Eid and what the people say: Eid Mubarak and what resembles that legislated or not? If it does have an origin in the legislation, then what is said? Please give us a verdict may Allah reward you.

Answer:

As for the greeting on Eid, each person says to the other when meeting after the Eid prayer: Tabbaqal Allah Minna wa Minkum and Wa Ahalahul Allahu Alayka and what resembles that. This has been reported from a group of the Companions radiallahu anhu and they allowed it. However, Imam Ahmed said: I do not initiate it to anyone. If someone initiates it with me then I respond to it. That is because responding is obligatory. As for initiating the greeting then it is not a Sunnah ordered. It is also not something prohibited. So whoever does it, then he has an example and whoever leaves it off, then he has an example. And Allah Knows Best”

The Ruling On Making Takbeer After Each Salaah During The Days Of Tashriq

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The Lajnah (Permanent Committee For Scholarly Research And Ifta’) were asked the following question:

Q: I hear some people reciting Takbir (saying: “Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]”) after each Salah (Prayer) during the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) until the ‘Asr (Afternoon) Prayer of the third day. Is this correct or not?

A: It is prescribed to recite an unrestricted [in terms of time. Ed] or a restricted Takbir during ‘Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice). The unrestricted Takbir can be recited at any time from the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah until the last Day of Tashriq. The restricted Takbir should be recited after the Obligatory Daily Prayers starting from the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer of the Day of `Arafah until the ‘Asr Prayer on the last Day of Tashriq. The evidence for the permissibility of doing this is the Ijma‘ (consensus of scholars) and the practice of the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with them).

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!

The 3 days following Eidul Adh-ha are known as the days of 'Tashreeq' because they used to cut the meat in strips and leave them to dry in the sun. [Fat-hul Bari]

And just like the day of 'Eid, fasting these 3 days is also forbidden; because the Prophet ﷺ said:

((أَيَّامُ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ، وَذِكْرٍ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وجل))

“The days of Tashriq (i.e. the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah) are days of eating, drinking and remembrance of Allah, the Most Great and Glorious."

[Muslim (1141)]

BENEFIT 184: Response to the one who claimed that some of the Salaf rebelled against the rulers due to the books of 'Aqeedah not being widespread during that time

Abu 'Atiyyah Mahmud حفظه الله

BENEFIT 186: Five key points to keep in mind when scholars differ on a religious matter

1⃣. Two opposing view points cannot both be correct.

2⃣. When there is disagreement, we are obligated to return the affair to the Qur'ān & Sunnah.

3⃣. The correct opinion is what coincides with the Qur'ān & Sunnah

4⃣. The scholar that errs in their ijtihad is still rewarded.

5⃣. The blindfollower who follows a scholar in their erroneous ijtihād, despite knowing it contradicts the Qur'ān and Sunnah, is sinful and blameworthy.

An important reminder for us all.

BENEFIT 194: Some people treat others harshly claiming that this is the way of the Salaf!

Question: You have mentioned that we should treat others gently, but some people are harsh with my friends and say that some of the Salaf like Shu'bah and Wakee' were strict and used to treat people harshly?

Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh:

The proof is in the example of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, not in Wakee' or Shu'bah. Exalted is Allah, how can one leave the example of the Prophet ﷺ and the examples of Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, and Zubair, and instead turn to the example of Shu'bah, may Allah have mercy on him, or Al-A'mash? Suppose they were harsh in their teachings or had a stern approach with their students. The Salaf were indeed gentle, adhering to the Quran and Sunnah. However, due to the large number of students and persistent requests, you might observe some strictness from their teachers, which led to the mistaken belief that they were harsh with others. This is not correct!

The Salaf As-Salih were the most eager to adhere to the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ. Shu'bah was among the leaders of guidance and lamps of darkness, but sometimes circumstances with their students, like the overwhelming number of sessions and students' demands, caused them to be stern. A person is human and feels pain just like others. They might have done this to test their students. Those truly dedicated to Hadith would endure the harshness and strictness, while those indifferent might say, "I won't seek knowledge from him."

However, we must adhere to what has been confirmed by the Prophet ﷺ: "Be gentle," as he said in the Hadith. We should follow what Allah and His Messenger love. The Prophet's message, from beginning to end, was based on gentleness. Even when someone would grab his garment harshly, causing a mark on his skin, the Prophet would smile at them.

As we call for gentleness and recognise our need for it, some individuals, upon becoming religiously upright, become harsh with their parents. They think they're are righteous and that's enough. No, my brother, be gentle with your mother and father so they may join you in righteousness. Be gentle with your siblings so they may follow you in the righteous path. Condemn wrongdoings within the boundaries of Shari'ah with the best approach. Why jump to harsh methods from the get go?

Why not start by educating people, teaching them, guiding them, and inviting them? Once they know, as Allah says (interpreted meaning): "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in the best manner."

Didn't the One Who say (interpreted meaning), "argue with them in the best manner" also say before this (interpreted meaning), "with wisdom"?

Wisdom involves gentleness, kindness, and endearing the religion to them, endearing knowledge and the Sunnah to them. Similarly, good admonition is necessary. If you see someone turning away, bring them proofs that deter them, and so forth. Argue with them in the best manner, which could sometimes involve the sword for those in authority and others.

We must progress gradually in our invitation and adopt the best possible attitudes. "Gentleness is not found in anything except that it adorns it, and it is not removed from anything except that it disfigures it." (hadith)

There is no conflict between gentleness and uprightness. Some think that gentleness is a form of Tamyee' (laxity). No, it is not. Legitimate gentleness is not Tamyee'.

Tamyee' is misguided gentleness. Legitimate gentleness is following the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ in returning greetings, in good speech, in good conversation, in good advice, in wishing well for others, and in inviting them to goodness. This is a legitimate matter.

Allaah Will Build A House In Jannah For The One Who Does This

Al-'Allaamah Al-'Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy upon him 

Umm Habeebah, may Allaah be pleased with her, narrated that Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

"مَنْ صَلَّى فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ ثِنْتَىْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ."

"Whoever prays twelve rak'ah in a day and night, a house will be built for him in Paradise: Four before Dhuhr, and two rak'aat after it, two rak‘aat after Maghrib, two rakʿaat after 'Ishaa, and two rak‘aat before the Fajr prayer."
