بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ.
أَمَّا بَعْدُ:

فَقَدْ ثَبَتَ فِي «الصَّحِيحَيْنِ» مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِذَا جَاءَ رَمَضَانُ فُتِّحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الجَنَّةِ، وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ، وَصُفِّدَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ».
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: «وَسُلْسِلَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ».

وَقَدْ أَشْكَلَ عَلَى بَعْضِ النَّاسِ وُقُوعُ المَعَاصِي فِي رَمَضَانَ مَعَ هَذَا الخَبَرِ الصَّادِقِ، فَتَكَلَّمَ أَهْلُ العِلْمِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي بَيَانِ ذَلِكَ، وَذَكَرُوا فِيهِ أَقْوَالًا، يَجْمَعُهَا أَنَّ تَصْفِيدَ الشَّيَاطِينِ لَا يَلْزَمُ مِنْهُ انْعِدَامُ الذُّنُوبِ بِالكُلِّيَّةِ.

أَوَّلًا: أَنَّ التَّصْفِيدَ لَا يَقْتَضِي انْعِدَامَ المَعْصِيَةِ بِالكُلِّيَّةِ
قَالَ الحَافِظُ ابن حجر العسقلاني رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي «فَتْحِ البَارِي»:
قِيلَ: المُرَادُ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ بَعْضُهُمْ، وَهُمُ المَرَدَةُ، لَا جَمِيعُهُمْ.
وَقِيلَ: المُرَادُ تَقْلِيلُ الشُّرُورِ فِيهِ، وَهَذَا أَمْرٌ مَحْسُوسٌ؛ فَإِنَّ وُقُوعَ ذَلِكَ فِيهِ أَقَلُّ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ.
فَوُقُوعُ المَعَاصِي لَا يُنَافِي الحَدِيثَ؛ لِأَنَّ التَّصْفِيدَ تَقْلِيلٌ لِسُلْطَانِهِمْ، لَا رَفْعٌ لَهُ بِالكُلِّيَّةِ.

ثَانِيًا: أَنَّ المُصَفَّدَ هُمُ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ خَاصَّةً
قَالَ الإِمَامُ القرطبي رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ:
إِنَّمَا تُصَفَّدُ المَرَدَةُ مِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ، وَهُمْ أَشَدُّهُمْ إِغْوَاءً، وَأَمَّا غَيْرُهُمْ فَيَبْقَى تَأْثِيرُهُ.
فَيَقِلُّ الشَّرُّ فِي رَمَضَانَ لِكَبْحِ أَعْظَمِ أَسْبَابِهِ، لَكِنَّهُ لَا يَنْعَدِمُ.

ثَالِثًا: أَنَّ الذُّنُوبَ قَدْ تَصْدُرُ مِنَ النَّفْسِ الأَمَّارَةِ بِالسُّوءِ
قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: ﴿إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ﴾[يُوسُفَ: 53].

وَقَالَ شَيْخُ الإِسْلَامِ ابن تيمية رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ: "إِذَا اعْتَادَتِ النَّفْسُ الشَّرَّ وَصَارَ لَهَا طَبْعًا وَسَجِيَّةً، صَدَرَ مِنْهَا الشَّرُّ مِنْ غَيْرِ احْتِيَاجٍ إِلَى تَحْرِيضِ شَيْطَانٍ."

فَلَيْسَتِ المَعْصِيَةُ مُتَوَقِّفَةً عَلَى وِسْوَسَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ قَدْ يَكُونُ بَاعِثُهَا الهَوَى وَالعَادَةُ وَضَعْفُ الإِيمَانِ.

رَابِعًا: أَثَرُ العَادَةِ المُتَرَاكِمَةِ قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ
قَالَ الحَافِظُ ابن رجب الحنبلي رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي «لَطَائِفِ المَعَارِفِ»: "مَنْ اعْتَادَ المَعَاصِيَ فِي سَائِرِ العَامِ، لَمْ يَنْقَطِعْ عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ بِمُجَرَّدِ دُخُولِ رَمَضَانَ."

فَالقُلُوبُ إِذَا أَلِفَتِ الذَّنْبَ، احْتَاجَتْ إِلَى مُجَاهَدَةٍ صَادِقَةٍ لِتَرْكِهِ.

خَامِسًا: أَنَّ أَثَرَ التَّصْفِيدِ يَظْهَرُ فِي حَقِّ مَنْ حَقَّقَ حَقِيقَةَ الصِّيَامِ
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَنْ لَمْ يَدَعْ قَوْلَ الزُّورِ وَالعَمَلَ بِهِ، فَلَيْسَ لِلَّهِ حَاجَةٌ فِي أَنْ يَدَعَ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ» (رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ).

فَدَلَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَنَّ الصِّيَامَ الحَقِيقِيَّ هُوَ صِيَامُ الجَوَارِحِ وَالقَلْبِ، لَا مُجَرَّدُ الإِمْسَاكِ عَنِ المُفْطِرَاتِ.

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ، وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.
To proceed:

It is authentically established in the two Sahih from the Hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ said: “When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.”
In another narration: “and the devils are shackled.”

This has raised a question for some people regarding the occurrence of sins in Ramadan. The scholars, may Allah have mercy upon them, have spoken regarding its clarification and mentioned several explanations. All of them agree that the chaining of the devils does not necessitate the complete absence of sins.

First: That the chaining does not necessitate the total absence of sin
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (may Allah have mercy upon him) said in Fath al-Bari:
It was said: What is meant by “the devils” are some of them, namely the rebellious ones (al-maradah), not all of them. It was also said: What is meant is a reduction of evil therein, and this is something perceptible, for the occurrence of such matters in it is less than in other than it.

Thus, the occurrence of sins does not contradict the Hadith, because chaining implies a reduction of their influence, not its complete removal.

Second: That those chained are specifically the rebellious devils
Imam al-Qurtubi (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Only the rebellious devils are chained, and they are the most intense in leading others astray. As for others, their influence remains.

Therefore, evil decreases in Ramadan due to the restraint of its greatest causes, though it does not entirely disappear.

Third: That sins may originate from the soul that commands evil
Allah, the Exalted, says: “Indeed, the soul is surely prone to commanding evil” (Yusuf: 53).

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “When the soul becomes accustomed to evil and it turns into a natural disposition and trait, evil may proceed from it without the need for incitement by a devil.

Thus, sin is not dependent solely upon the whispering of Satan; rather, it may be driven by desire, habit, and weakness of Iman.

Fourth: The effect of accumulated habits before Ramadan
Al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (may Allah have mercy upon him) said in Lata’if al-Ma’arif: “Whoever becomes accustomed to sins throughout the rest of the year will not cease from them merely by the entrance of Ramadan.”

Hearts that have grown familiar with sin require sincere striving in order to abandon it.

Fifth: That the effect of chaining manifests for the one who fulfills the true reality of fasting
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever does not abandon false speech and acting upon it, Allah has no need of him leaving his food and drink” (reported by al-Bukhari).

This indicates that true fasting is the fasting of the limbs and the heart, not merely abstaining from food and drink.

And Allah knows best. May Allah send peace and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

مِنَ اللَّيَالِي الَّتِي يُرْجَى أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيهَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ: لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ

وَرَدَتْ آثَارٌ عَدِيدَةٌ عَنِ السَّلَفِ تَدُلُّ عَلَى تَحَرِّي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ، وَمِنْهَا:

ثَبَتَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ».

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ لِي بَادِيَةً أَكُونُ فِيهَا، وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فِيهَا بِحَمْدِ اللهِ، فَمُرْنِي بِلَيْلَةٍ أَنْزِلُهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ. فَقَالَ: «انْزِلْ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ».

وَفِي صَحِيحِ مُسْلِمٍ: ذَكَرَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي زَمَنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَتْ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ.

وَثَبَتَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُوقِظُ أَهْلَهَا لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ.

وَثَبَتَ فِي الْعِلَلِ لِلْإِمَامِ أَحْمَدَ (بِرِوَايَةِ ابْنِهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ): أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا كَانَ يَرُشُّ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ الْمَاءَ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ.

وَكَانَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ يَجْتَهِدُونَ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ اجْتِهَادًا خَاصًّا.

Among the nights in which Laylat al-Qadr is hoped to occur: the Night of the Twenty-Third

Numerous reports from the early generations indicate that they would seek Laylat al-Qadr on the night of the twenty-third. Among them are the following:

It is authentically reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Seek Laylat al-Qadr on the night of the twenty-third.”

It is reported from Abdullah ibn Unays al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have a dwelling in the desert where I stay, and I pray there by the grace of Allah. So instruct me regarding a night on which I should come to this mosque. He replied: “Come on the night of the twenty-third.”

In Sahih Muslim, Abdullah ibn Unays (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that Laylat al-Qadr during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ occurred on the night of the twenty-third.

It is also reported by Ibn Abi Shaybah from al-Aswad ibn Yazid, from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), that she would wake her family on the night of the twenty-third.

It is recorded in al-‘illal of Imam Ahmad (in the narration of his son Abdullah) that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) would sprinkle water on his family on the night of the twenty-third in order to awaken them.

And some of the companions of Ibn Mas’ud would exert special effort in worship on the night of the twenty-third.

الحمدُ لله ربّ العالمين، والصلاةُ والسلامُ على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين، نبينا محمد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين، أمّا بعد:

بمناسبة حلول عيد الفطر المبارك لهذا العام (1447هـ)، يسرّني أن أقول: عيدُكم مبارك، وتقبّل الله منا ومنكم صالحَ الأعمال.

أسأل الله لي ولكم التوفيق والسداد.


All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all worlds. May peace and blessings be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

On the occasion of the blessed Eid al-Fitr this year (1447 AH), I am pleased to say: Eid Mubarak. May Allah accept our righteous deeds and yours.

I ask Allah to grant us all success and guidance.

أَحْيُوا سُنَّةَ التَّكْبِيرِ

قالَ اللهُ تعالى: ﴿وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ﴾

قالَ ابنُ عبَّاسٍ رضيَ اللهُ عنهما: «حَقٌّ على المُسْلِمينَ إذا رَأَوْا هِلالَ شَوَّالٍ أَنْ يُكَبِّرُوا».

التكبيرُ في عيدِ الفِطْرِ:
- يُشْرَعُ التَّكبيرُ المُطْلَقُ مِن مَغيبِ شَمْسِ آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِن رَمَضانَ إلى خُروجِ الإمامِ إلى الصَّلاةِ.
- صِفَةُ التَّكبيرِ المَشْهورةُ عندَ أكثرِ الصَّحابةِ كابنِ مسعودٍ وغيرِهِم رضيَ اللهُ عنهم، وهي الأفضلُ:
(اللهُ أكبرُ اللهُ أكبرُ، لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ، واللهُ أكبرُ اللهُ أكبرُ، وللهِ الحمدُ).
- والأمرُ واسِعٌ في صِيَغِ التَّكبيرِ.
- لا يُوجَدُ تَكبيرٌ مُقَيَّدٌ بَعْدَ الصَّلاةِ في عيدِ الفِطْرِ، كما ذَكَرَ ابنُ تيميَّةَ رحمهُ اللهُ في مجموعِ الفتاوى.

#عيد_الفطر


“Revive the Sunnah of Takbeer.”

Allah, the Most High, Says:
“And [want] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.”

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said: “It is a duty upon Muslims, when they see the crescent of Shawwal, to proclaim Allah’s greatness (takbeer).”

Takbeer on Eid al-Fitr:
- The unrestricted takbeer is prescribed from sunset on the last day of Ramadan until the imam comes out for the Eid prayer.
- The well-known form of takbeer reported from many companions such as Abdullah ibn Masud (may Allah be pleased with him), and it is the preferred form, is:
“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi al-hamd.”
- There is flexibility in the wording of takbeer.
- There is no specific takbeer after the obligatory prayers on Eid al-Fitr, as mentioned by Ibn Taymiyyah in Majmu‘ al-Fatawa.

إظهارُ الفَرَحِ بالعِيدِ عِبادَةٌ

قالَ ابنُ حَجَرٍ في فتحِ الباري: «إظهارُ السُّرورِ في الأعيادِ مِن شِعارِ الدِّينِ».

وقالَ ابنُ تيميَّةَ في مجموعِ الفتاوى: «وسُنَّ في العِيدِ السُّرورُ والانبساطُ».

عاجل:
ثَبَتَتْ رُؤْيَةُ هِلَالِ شَهْرِ ذِي الحِجَّةِ فِي المَمْلَكَةِ العَرَبِيَّةِ السُّعُودِيَّةِ، وَغَدًا أَوَّلُ أَيَّامِ شَهْرِ ذِي الحِجَّةِ، وَهِيَ أَفْضَلُ أَيَّامِ الدُّنْيَا، كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْضَلُ أَيَّامِ الدُّنْيَا أَيَّامُ العَشْرِ»؛ أَيْ: الأَيَّامُ العَشْرُ الأُوَلُ مِنْ ذِي الحِجَّةِ.

وَيُسْتَحَبُّ عِنْدَ رُؤْيَةِ الهِلَالِ أَنْ يُقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأَمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ، وَالسَّلَامَةِ وَالإِسْلَامِ، وَالتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى، رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ»؛ رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.

وَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ، يَكُونُ يَوْمُ الأَرْبِعَاءِ المُقْبِلِ، المُوَافِقُ ٢٧ مِنْ شَهْرِ مَايُو، أَوَّلَ أَيَّامِ عِيدِ الأَضْحَى.

وَفَّقَنَا اللهُ وَإِيَّاكُمْ لِشُكْرِ نِعْمَتِهِ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِهِ.

The sighting of the crescent moon of the month of Dhul-Hijjah has been confirmed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Tomorrow will be the first day of Dhul-Hijjah, the best days of this world, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The best days of this world are the ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah).”

It is recommended upon sighting the crescent moon to say: “O Allah, let this moon appear over us with security and faith, safety and Islam, and with success in that which You love and are pleased with. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah.”
Narrated by Talhah ibn Ubaydillah رضي الله عنه and collected by al-Tirmidhi.

And, by the will of Allah, Wednesday, May 27, will be the first day of Eid al-Adha.

May Allah grant us all success in showing gratitude for His blessings and excellence in His worship.
