Dought & clear, - Innovated wayof doing wudoo’

Share

when i do my wudhu for prayers i start with bismilah and continue by saying nawaitu toharatil wudhuee, while i recite this to all the parts that need to be washed, i know you have given the recitation for wudhuee but i just wanted to know can i only say recite what i have been reciting all time instead of the recitation that is given by you, of course if you tell me otherwise i'll follow your advice.
Praise be to Allaah.
When worshipping Allaah, the Muslim must worship Him in the manner that He has prescribed. The basic principle regarding acts of worship is tawqeef (i.e., acts of worship are to be based solely on Qur’aan and saheeh Sunnah with no room for personal opinion). No kind of act of worship is prescribed except with daleel (evidence from sharee’ah). Whoever comes up with something that was not prescribed by Allaah or His Messenger has introduced an innovation into the religion of Allaah, and this action of his is to be rejected, because in order for a deed to be acceptable (to Allaah), it must meet two conditions:
1- It must be sincerely for the sake of Allaah alone. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allaah, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him)”[al-Bayyinah 98:5]
2- It should be according to the way of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the message he brought. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)”[al-Hashr 59:7]
So it is not permissible to innovate any kind of act of worship that was not prescribed by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does an action that is not in accordance with this matter of ours (Islam) will have it rejected.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2697; Muslim, 1718).
Al-Tirmidhi narrated from Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal from the hadeeth of al-‘Irbaad ibn Saariyah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the Rightly-Guided Khaleefahs. Adhere to it and bite onto it with your back teeth (i.e., cling firmly to it). And beware of newly-invented matters, for every newly-invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is a going-astray.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi,al-Sunnah, 3991. Al-Albaani said inSaheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, no. 3851, it is saheeh). So the Muslim should not go beyond that which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) brought and prescribed.
The Sahaabah transmitted the description of the wudoo’ of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and none of them transmitted this (the action mentioned in the question) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so we should follow that which he brought.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said concerning the matter of speaking the intention (niyyah) out loud:
“It is not mustahabb to utter it out loud, because that is an innovation (bid’ah) that was not narrated from the Messenger of Allaah or from his companions, and the Prophet did not command anyone among his ummah to utter the intention out loud; he never taught that to anyone among the Muslims. If that had been prescribed, the Prophet and his companions would not have neglected to convey it, because the intention is something that the Muslims must deal with every day and every night. Rather speaking the intention out loud is indicative of a defect in reason and religious commitment.”(Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, vol. 22, p. 231)
Elsewhere he said:
“All the things that people have innovated such as speaking the intention (niyyah) out loud before saying ‘Allaahu akbar’, before reciting the Talbiyah, when purifying themselves and in all acts of worship, are all kinds of innovations which were not prescribed by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Everything that is innovated in prescribed acts of worship, such as doing extra things that were not prescribed by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is a form of bid’ah (innovation) because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to do those acts of worship without doing these extra things. So doing them and persisting in doing so is a form of innovation and misguidance.”
(Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, vol. 22, p. 223)
With regard to the dhikr which is said before or after wudoo’, please see the answer to question no. 2165
So the Muslim should give up anything that was not brought by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and keep away from innovations introduced into the religion, because following innovations implies imitating the People of the Book. And the Muslim should strive to learn about his religion so that he will not fall into bid’ah. And Allaah knows best./- -*-

Foundation of religion, Islam is on knowledge (Ilm)and Noble Character (Akhlaq). When we study the life and times of our beloved Ahlul Bayt (as), we notice that the main weapon they used in carrying out their mission of spreading the message of Allah (SWT), was knowledge on one hand and Noble Character on the other. Our 6th Imam, Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) narrates that, "Anyone who is devoid of knowledge (Ilm) and Noble Character (Akhlaq)is like an orphan who has lost both his parents." Our Fuqaha (scholars) are apt examples of the height of character one can attain. It has been narrated about the spiritual station of our great Marja, Ayatullah Muhammad Husein Burujerdi (d.1961), that he had made a vow (Nadhr)that if he ever uttered inappropriate words when angry, he would fast for a whole year (to train his soul). Indeed, he had a very lofty station because of his excellent character. He himself has said, "Before I came to Qom, I used to hear the voices of angels." He was a Marja whose credentials as a supreme authority had been endorsed by Amir al-Mu'mineen, Imam Ali (pbuh) himself. Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: I seek refuge in Allah (SWT) from knowledge that brings no wisdom, from a heart that lacks kindness, from desires that bring discontent, and from supplications that go unanswered. Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "Teachers and students both share in rewards but other people are deprived of them." Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "He who searches for knowledge is similar to a person who fasts during the day and keeps vigil at night and is busy worshipping. If a person acquires a branch of knowledge, it is better for him than possessing as much gold as the height of Abu Qubais Mount which he would distribute in the way of Allah (SWT)." Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "The virtue of knowledge is more beloved with Allah (SWT) than the virtue of worship." Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "The Noble Qur'anis Allah's (SWT) university; so, learn as much as you can in this university." Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "Fie upon that Muslim who does not allocate (at least) one day a week to the study of the details of his religion and to explore (the affairs) of his religion." Imam Hassan (as) said: "Teach your knowledge to others and (try to) learn yourself the knowledge of others." Imam Baqir (as) said: "Try to learn knowledge because learning it is a good action and study is itself a worship." Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: "Be careful of your knowledge and see from whom you get it." Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: "Try to obtain knowledge and ornament it with patience and dignity; and be humble for the one who learns knowledge from you." Share

Hajj & Umrah, - There Is Neither Rafath)Sexual Relations(, nor Disobedience nor Disputing During Hajj - II

}and no disobedience{
Disobedience is forbidden at all times, but it is even more forbidden duringHajj.
Disobedience is failing to obey Allaah The Almighty, and to exceed His due limits. There is difference of opinion about what is meant by it in the Quranic Verse:
The first is to call each other offensive nicknames, as confirmed by Allaah The Almighty in His statement )what means(:}and do not call each other by ]offensive[ nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after ]one's[ faith.{]Quran 49:11[
The second is to insult one another, due to the statement of the Messenger of Allaah,:“Verily, insulting a Muslim is disobedience, and fighting with him is disbelief.”]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
The third is to cause harm and be rude )to others(. That is taken from the statement of Allaah The Almighty )what means(:}Let no scribe be harmed or any witness. For if you do so, indeed, it is ]grave[ disobedience in you. And fear Allaah . And Allaah teaches you.{]Quran 2:282[
The fourth is to slaughter for the sake of idols, as was the habit of the people of the pre-Islamic era, who used to slaughter animals during the season ofHajjfor the sake of their idols. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:
*.}And do not eat of that upon which the Name of Allaah has not been mentioned, for indeed, it is grave disobedience.{]Quran 6:121[
*.}Or it be ]that slaughtered in[ disobedience, dedicated to other than Allaah.{]Quran 6:145[
The fifth, which is the correct opinion, is that the disobedience meant in the Noble Verse includes all sins. Ibn ‘Umarsaid,“Disobedience means all sins to be committed, with which Allaah The Almighty is disobeyed, whether it is catching game or any other sin.”He also used to say,“It is to commit the sins with which Allaah The Almighty is disobeyed in the Sanctuary.”
According to Ibn Katheer“The correct opinion is that of those who say that disobedience includes all sins. Similarly, Allaah The Almighty forbade injustice during the Sacred months, and although it is forbidden at all times, forbidding it during them is more confirmed. That is the significance of His Statement )which means(:}of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them.{]Quran 9:36[As regards the Sanctuary, Allah The Almighty Says )what means(:}and ]also[ whoever intends ]a deed[ therein of deviation ]in religion[ or wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.{]Quran 22:25[
It is proven from the Messenger of Allaah,, that he said:“He who performs Hajj, in which he neither has sexual relations nor commits sins, will come out as sinless as a newborn child just delivered by his mother.”]Al-Bukhaari[
}and no disputing during Hajj{]Quran 2:197[
Disputation duringHajjis to fall into unnecessary useless quarrels and arguments about the rites ofHajj,which develops feelings of resentment and grudge. Allaah The Almighty clarified those rites in detail, and any dispute or argument about them afterwards is of no significance. It is related that it was the habit of the Quraysh that whenever they gathered in Mina, some of them would say to each other,“Our Hajj is more perfect.”Others would say,“No, it is our Hajjthat is more perfect.” It is reported that they used to argue with each other about the days ofHajj,and say, “HajjIs today )and not any other day(.” Allaah The Almighty forbade them to do so.
It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas‘ood and Ibn ‘Abbaasthat they said,“Disputation during Hajj is to argue with your companion until you provoke his anger.”It is narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Umarthat it means to curse and quarrel with each other. According to ‘Ikrimah“It is to make a Muslim angry with you.”
}And whatever good you do -- Allaah knows it{
When He The Almighty forbade them to do anything shameful, in word and deed, He Urged them to do what is good, and told them that He knows it well, and will give them the best reward for it on the Day of Judgment. Allah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And whatever good you do - Allaah knows it.{According to Al-Qurtubi“It is to urge and encourage them to adhere to good in word rather than lewdness, and righteousness and piety in deed rather than disobedience and disputation.”
}And take provisions{
Allaah The Almighty here commands )the pilgrims( to take provisions with them. It was revealed in connection with a group of Arabs who used to come to the House of Allaah without provision, and say,“We are reliant on Allaah: how should we come to perform Hajj to the House of Allaah and He feeds us not?”In this way, they were dependent on people. But they were forbidden to do so, and rather commanded to take provision of flour,Saweeq)powdered barley(, cake, and so on.
}but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allaah{
When He commanded them to take the worldly provision that sustains the body, He guided them to the provision of the Hereafter that sustains the heart, and clarified that it is the best and the most advantageous provision, as confirmed by His statement )what means(:}O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best.{]Quran 7:26[
}And fear Me, O you of understanding{

Hajj & Umrah, - There Is Neither Rafath)Sexual Relations(, nor Disobedience nor Disputing During Hajj - I

Share

Allaah The Almighty mentioned in His Noble Book ofHajjobligations, acts of theSunnah)Prophetic tradition(, etiquettes, pillars and favorable things that indicate His care for this great act of worship and glorious rite. He clarified this matter in detail, and with perfect clarification; Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}Hajj is ]during[ well-known months,so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein ]by entering the state of Ihraam[there is ]to be for him[no Rafath )sexual relations(and no disobedienceand no disputing duringHajj.And whatever good you do - Allaah knows it.And take provisionsbut indeed, the best provision is fear ofAllaah. And fear Me, O you of understanding.{]Quran 2:197[
In this Quranic Verse, Allaah The Almighty pointed out the months ofHajjin which it is valid to assumeIhraam)sacral state( forHajj, i.e.Shawwaal, Thul-Qa‘dah, and the first ten days ofThul-Hijjah, according to the correct opinion of scholars.
Many CompanionsandTaabi‘is)Followers(liked to dedicate those months toHajjalone. That is why they disliked performing‘Umrahduring those months. This is narrated from ‘Umar, ‘Uthmaan, Ibn Mas‘oodAl-Qaasim, Ibn Seereenand others.
Allaah The Almighty mentioned that whoever intendedHajj)by assumingIhraam( has indeed made it binding upon himself, which requires him to abide by its restrictions and rulings according to the Quran andSunnah)Prophetic tradition(. In his comment on the following Statement of Allaah The Almighty )which means(:}so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein ]by entering the state of Ihraam[]Quran 2:197[Jareersaid,“There is consensus among the scholars that what is intended by obligation here is to make it due and compulsory upon oneself.”
According to Ash-Shaafi‘i and Ahmad“Intention alone is sufficient to assume Ihraam for Hajj.”
}there is ]to be for him[ no Rafath )sexual relations({]Quran 2:197[
That is, whoever makesHajjor‘Umrahdue on him, let him avoidRafathwhich means sexual relations as shown by the Statement of Allaah The Almighty )which means(:}It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives ]for sexual relations[.{]Quran 2:187[ This also includes foreplay such as touching, embracing, kissing, and so on. It also includes talking lewdly to a woman about sexual intercourse, like,“Once I remove Ihraam, I will have sexual relations with you, and do such and such with you.”
In this way, the termRafathimplies every kind of ill speech, lewdness, flirting with women, and talking about sexual intercourse.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeensaid,
No doubt, sexual intercourse is the Ihraam’s most grievous proscription that has the greatest negative effect on Hajj, and it has two cases:
When it is before the first stage of coming out of the state of Ihraam, i.e. before throwing Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah, shaving and performing Tawaaf Al-Ifaadhah on the day of Nahr; and it has two outcomes:
a-The obligation of a ransom, which is a camel or a cow to be sacrificed and distributed entirely to the poor, and the worshipper should eat nothing thereof.
b-The invalidity of the Hajj in which sexual intercourse takes place. But it has to be completed and compensated in the coming year without delay.
However, the Hajj would not be invalidated if any of the other proscriptions occurred.
The other case is when sexual intercourse takes place after the first stage of coming out of the state of Ihraam, i.e. after throwing Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah, shaving, and before performing Tawaaf Al-Ifaadhah, in which case, Hajj is valid, but two things are required according to the prominent opinion: that is, to go to the area that is beyond the borders of the Sanctuary and reassume his Ihraam, and to put on a set of Izaar )upper garment( and Ridaa’ )lower garment(, and after that to perform Tawaaf Al-Ifaadhah while being in the state of Ihraam.
