says the salaam at the end of two rak'ahs of qiyaam [Taraweeh], they
raise their voices insaying tasbeeh ("Subhaan Allaah wa bi hamdihi
Subhaan Allaahal-'Azeem/Glory and praise be to Allah, glory to Allah
the Almighty"), and they do this between each two rak'ahs until the
imam finishes the prayer, thenthey all recite a certain du'aa' and a
certain wird. Some of the brothers have tried to inform the people,
adhering in that to wisdom and gentleness, and quoting evidence from
the Qur'aan and Sunnah that this action of theirs is contrary to the
Sunnah and that it isnot the way of the Salaf.But they did not respond
to the truth and they persisted in that. What should we do? Should we
leave them or should we stay with them and remind them from time to
time?Please note that they are insisting on their action and the
matter is getting very serious, as many people have stopped praying
Taraweeh in the mosques on the grounds that it is Sunnah accompanied
bybid'ah and that wardingoff bad things takes precedence over doing
good things. Please advise us, may Allah preserve you.
Praise be to Allaah.
In the answer to question number 50718, we stated that what some
people do of reciting dhikr in unison after every two rak'ahs of
Taraweeh is an innovation which was not done by the Messenger
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or by any of his
Companions.
You have done well to teach the people the Sunnah and denounce
innovation. What they should have done is return to the teaching ofthe
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), which is the best
and most perfect of guidance.
You should continue to pray with them and call them to the Sunnah,
andyou will find, with Allaah's help, some who accept the truth and
are keen to follow it, even if others reject it."But if these
disbelieve therein (the Book, Al-Hukm and Prophethood), then, indeed
We have entrusted it to a people (such as the Companions of Prophet
Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم( whoare not disbelievers therein"
]al-An'aam 6:89[.
But if you find that the people in the mosque are stubborn and
arrogant and reject the truth, then if you can pray in another mosque
where the people are keen to follow the Sunnah and to avoid
innovation, that is better. But if that is not possible, then your
praying in this mosque isgood, and you have done what is required
ofyou and perhaps they will be guided."(The preachers) said: 'In
orderto be free from guilt before your Lord (Allaah), and perhaps they
may fear Allaah'" [al-A'raaf 7:164].
If the followers of the Sunnah were to forsake the mosque because of
such innovations, that would be a cause of innovation increasing and
becoming more widespread, and it would lead to the Sunnah being erased
and dying out. So you have to pray in the mosque and explain the
Sunnah to the people, adhering in that to the advice of the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to bekind and gentle to the
one who is ignorant.
May Allah help you to do all that is good.
And Allah knows best.
