TAQLEED (PART IV)

Below Are Some Questions Regarding Taqleed

1. Why do we do Taqleed for Furoo-e-din and not Usool-e-din?

Roots of religion cannot be followed blindly or by inheritance. One should have belief in these facts through understanding and reasoning but without any compulsion. Furoo-e-din are the laws directly given to us by Allah through his Messenger Prophet Muhammad (S) and the Holy Qur'an and one needs to follow them and since they are the laws of Allah, one is not allowed to do as one wishes.

2. Is it necessary to utter the Niyyat?

No, it isn't necessary to utter one's Niyyat; however, it has to be done with one's Mujtahid in mind. Upon becoming Baligh, one must do Taqleed immediately.

3. What happens to my A'maal if I do Niyyat for Taqleed late?

This depends on the Mujtahid A'lam, if he says it's fine then your A'maal are accepted otherwise your A'maal are BATIL and Qaza has to be done.

4. As Qur'an is one of the sources of guidance, how does it manage tomeet the changes in our needs?

Our Holy Prophet (S) has said:

"..... The Qur'an has a beautiful exterior and a very deep interior. It has nofinal limit. After every apparent limit comes another limit. Its wonders haveno end and its freshness does not fade".

Imam Ja'far as Sadiq (A) has said:

"The Qur'an has not been revealed for a fixed period, or for a particularnation. The Qur'an is for all ages and for all the human beings. Hence it isever fresh and new for the people.

Apart from the Qur'an, the Mujtahids use Hadith. Ilmul Hadith is the study ofnarration of a Hadith, different sources of a Ahadith, whether or not thenarrators are reliable, trustworthy or false.

The four famous books of Hadith which are the reliable source for Shia scholarsare:

1) al Kafi - by Shaykh Kulayni

2) Man laa Yahdhuruhul Faqih - by Shaykh Sadooq

3) al Istibsaar - by Syed Tusi

4) al Tahzeeb - by Syed Tusi

There are a few differences in Fatawa of Mujtahideed and this is, briefly, due to:

1) Difference in understanding the interpretation (tafseer) of Qur'an.

2) Difference in understanding the context Hadith.

3) Difference in judging the chain of narrators.

4) Difference in understanding Usul-ul-Fiqh.

In Islamic History, since Ghaibat-e-Kubra began, many Marja's have passedthrough the chain and played important part by contributing to the study of Fiqh(Islamic Jurisprudence) and general Islamic Studies. We must make an effort tostudy the life histories of these great figures including that of our present Marj'a.

FIQH CLASS 9 - LESSON 2

GHUSL (Detail)

Seven kids of Ghusl are Wajib:

  1. Janabat
  2. Haidh
  3. Nifas
  4. Istihadha
  5. Mayyit
  6. Mas-e-Mayyit
  7. Ghusl of Nazar, Qasam or Ahad

There are two ways of performing Ghusl:

  1. Tartibi (Systematic)
  2. Irtimasi (Immersion)

GHUSL-E-TARTIBI (SYSTEMATIC)

In this way of Ghusl, the body is washed in three stages. First, the head down to the collar bone is washed, including the face and neck. Second, the right side of the body is washed from the shoulders down to the feet. Third, the left side of the body is washed likewise. This Ghusl is preferable, even if you are bathing in a pool or river or sea.

GHUSL-E-IRTIMASI (IMMERSION)

If one has the intent of performing Ghusl-e-Irtimasi, and he/she enters the water (pool, sea) gradually or dives into the water and his whole body goes under the water, the ghusl is correct. It is important that the whole body should be clean (Paak), before one enters the water.

Important Rules of Ghusl:

  1. All the rules essential for wudhu e.g., clean water, mubah water etc. are also essential for ghusl to be correct. However, in ghusl-e-tartibi, it is not essential that after washing one part, the other part should be washed immediately. If someone washes the head and neck, then pauses, then washes the right side, and then after an interval, washes the left side, it is acceptable.
  2. If one is under obligation to perform several ghusls, one can make Niyyat for all of them, and take only one ghusl. Although he can take ghusl separately for each of them.
  3. After doing ghusl-e-janabat, one should not perform wudhu for prayers. However after other Wajib ghusl (except Middle Istihadha), doing wudhu is recommended, but not required. (according to Ayatollah Seestani)

FIQH CLASS 9 - LESSON 3

MASAILS OF JABIRA

JABIRA - The material or the medicine used for bandaging wounds.

JABIRA E.G.

Wudhu Al-Jabira
This is when you perform Wudhu on the bandage or splint that has been put on those parts of your body that are related to Wudhu.

You would perform wudhu al-jabira when:

-The Jabira cannot be removed

-Water is harmful to the wound

-When there is an un-bandaged wound

-When there is an un-bandaged fracture

How Would You Perform Wudhu Al-Jabira

For the unaffected areas, Wudhu will be performed as usual.

For the affected areas:

-If water is not harmful, then you will pour enough water for it to go through the Jabira (#335)

-If water is harmful you will place a Tahir piece of cloth over the wound and pass a wet hand over that area, (#332)

-Also, if the Jabira is Najis, you will place a Tahir piece of cloth over the Jabira then pass a wet hand over that area.

FIQH CLASS 9 - LESSON 4 & 5

SHAKIYAAT-E-SALAAT (Part I & II)

Even though Muslims try to pray their Salaat with the utmost care and concentration, sometimes we doubt about how a certain part of the Salaat was prayed.

There is every chance that we made an error in our prayers. If anybody should have doubts about their Salaat, they should think for a moment about their doubt and try to shake it off. If this fails, then they should act according to the rules set down.

There are 23 cases of doubts (Shakiyaat) that may arise during Salaat:

You Should Ignore Doubts That Arise (#1176)

-After the Salaat has been finished.

-After the event has been performed. E.g. To have a doubt in Sajdah as to whether you did Ruku

-After the time has passed. E.g. To have a doubt at the time of Maghrib, as to whether you prayed Asr.

-By too much doubt (once in three prayers or three doubts in one prayer)

-Either on the part of one who leads the prayer (the IMAM) or on the part of the follower. In this case if the question arises as to who should be treated as extra sure, the leader or the follower, the person in doubt should follow the one who is sure.

-During a Mustahab prayer.

Your Namaaz Is Batil And Has To Be Offered Again If You Have A Doubt (#1174)

-In a 2 Rakaat Namaaz like Fajr or if you are praying Qasr, then Dhohr, Asr and Eisha

-In a 3 Rakaat Namaaz, i.e. Maghrib

-In a 4 Rakaat Namaaz, before the 2nd Sajdah, as to whether it is the 2nd or 3rd Rakaat

-In a 4 Rakaat Namaaz, the number of Rakaats already prayed

-IN A 4 RAKAAT NAMAAZ, AS TO WHETHER IT IS THE:

-1st, 2nd or 3rd Rakaat

-2nd, 5th or higher Rakaat

-2nd, 6th or higher Rakaat

-3rd, 6th or higher Rakaat

You Can Correct The Following Doubts Without Having To Pray Again If

-The doubt occurs in a 4 Rakaat Namaaz (#1208)

WHEN?
/
DOUBT WHETHER?
/
DECISION?
/
CORRECTION?
After 2ndSajdah of 2nd Rakaat / 2nd or 3rd Rakaat / Take it as 3rd /
After 2nd Sajdah of 2nd Rakaat / 2nd or 4th Rakaat / Take it as 4th
After 2nd Sajdah of 2nd Rakaat / 2nd, 3rd or 4th Rakaat / Take it as 4th /
AND
After 2nd Sajdah of 2nd Rakaat / 4th or 5th Rakaat / Take it as 4th /
After 2nd Sajdah of 2nd Rakaat / 3rd or 4th Rakaat / Take it as 4th /
OR
Qiyam before Ruku / 4th or 5th Rakaat / Sit down at once AND Finish Namaaz /
OR AND
Qiyam before Ruku / 3rd or 5th Rakaat / Sit down at once AND Finish Namaaz /
AND
Qiyam before Ruku / 3rd, 4th or 5th Rakaat / Sit down at once AND Finish Namaaz /
Qiyam before Ruku
/ 5th or 6th Rakaat / Sit down at once AND Finish Namaaz /

& = Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat (standing/sitting) = Sajdah-e-Sahv

Exercise:

  1. What doubts should be ignored in four raka’at prayers?
  2. What doubts make the Salaat Batil?
  3. What would you do under following circumstances?

Doubts occurred in Maghrib prayers whether it was the 2nd or the 3rd raka’at.

In a four raka’at prayer, doubt occurred whether it was the 3rd or the 4th raka’at

A doubt occurred after both Sajdah whether it was 2nd, 3rd or 4th raka’at.

A doubt occurred after both Sajdah whether it was 2nd, or 4th raka’at

Doubt occurred while in Qiyam whether it was 5th or 6th raka’at.

FIQH CLASS 9 - LESSON 6 & 7

SHAKIYAAT-E-SALAAT (Part III & IV)

Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat & Sajdah-e-Sahv

Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat (#1224)

After finishing Salaat without looking away from Qiblah or doing anything that makes Salaat Batil, you remain seated or stand up depending on what is required AND:

-Do Niyyat: "I am praying Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat 1 (or 2) Rakaat(s) Wajib Qurbatan ilallah."

-Then do Takbiratul Ehram.

-Recite only Suratul Fatiha

-Finish Namaaz as usual

  • If you have to recite 2 Rakaat then you should stand up for the 2nd Rakaat after Sajdah.
  • Recite Suratul Fatiha only
  • Finish Namaaz in the usual way.

Sajdah-e-Sahv (#1245-1271)

Sajdah-e-Sahv becomes Wajib, when (#1245)

-You talk by mistake in Namaaz

-You recite Salaam at the wrong place, by mistake

-You forget Tashahud.

-In a 4 Rakaat Namaaz you have a doubt after the 2nd Sajdah as to whether it is the 4th or 5th Rakaat or 4th or 6th Rakaat

-You added or left out by mistake any such thing, which is not Rukn.

How To Perform Sajdah-e-Sahv

Soon after finishing Salaat:

-Do Niyyat: "I am doing Sajdah-e-Sahv in lieu of Tashahud (or Salaam or Sajdah or Qiyam, etc; as the case may be Wajib Qurbatan ilallah".

-Then go to Sajdah and say the following once.

  • "BISMILLAHI WA BILLAHI ASSALAAMU ALAIKA AIYUHAN-NABIYYUWA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATUH".

-Then rise from Sajdah and sit, but don't recite anything.

-Then go to Sajdah again and recite:

  • "BISMILLAHI WA BILLAHI ASSALAAMU ALAIKA AIYUHAN-NABIYYU WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATUH", as you did in the first Sajdah,

-Then rise from Sajdah

-Recite Tashahud and Salaam.

If after the prayer, but before the Qadha of Sajdah or Tashahud, any actions are done which invalidate Salaat, then it is necessary to do Qadha and Sajdah-e-sahv and then repeat the prayer.(#1264)

If you have forgotten Tashahud or one Sajdah in the Salaat, it is Wajib to do Qadha at once after Salaat; then do Sajdah-e-sahv.(#1270)

Exercise:

  1. How do you recite one rakat & two rakat Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat ?
  2. When does Sadah-e- sahv becomes Wajib?
  3. How do you perform Sadah-e- sahv?

FIQH CLASS 9 - LESSON 8 & 9

SALAAT – E – AYAAT (Part I & II)

Salaat-e-Ayaat is WAJIB when any of the following occur (#1500)

-Solar and Lunar Eclipse:

  • Even if the sun or the moon are

eclipsed only partially and it

does not create fear in any person.

-Earthquake:

  • even if Iit does not cause fear.

-Any natural disaster that is likely to

create fear in people.

  • E.g.: Cyclones, devastating storms, etc.

Timing Of Salaat-e-Ayaat

During a Solar or Lunar eclipse (#1504)

-the prayer can be recited at any time from the beginning of the eclipse till it is completely cleared.

If a person does not recite their Salaat during this time (#1505)

-One should recite it whenever possible BUT with the Niyyat of Qadha.

In other natural disasters, Salaat-e-Ayaat:(#1507)

-must be prayed soon after the disaster is over.

HOWEVER,

-if a person does not pray immediately s/he is committing a sin; AND

-s/he still has to offer this prayer BUT,

-unlike the case for the eclipses s/he will not pray with the Niyyat of Ada or Qadha.

A person who did not know that there was an eclipse until after it was over:

-will offer the prayer with the Niyyat of Qadha if it was a total eclipse,

HOWEVER,

-if it was just a partial eclipse then it is not Wajib to offer

Salaat-e-Ayaat.

Method Of Reciting Salaat-e-Ayaat (#1516-1524)

NIYYAT (I am reading two raka’at Salaate-e-Ayaat Qurbatan ilallah)

TAKBIRATUL EHRAM, (Allaho Akbar)

recite SURATUL HAMD and any other SURAH

then go to RUKU'. Your 1st RUKU is complete.

rising from RUKU’, recite SURATUL HAMD and one SURAH

go into RUKU' again. Your 2nd RUKU is complete.

Likewise, you should do FIVE RUKU.

After rising from the 5th Ruku, say SAME ALLAHU LEMAN HAMIDAH

go to Sajdah - Complete 2 Sajdahs as usual

rise for the 2nd Rakaat.

recite the 2nd Rakaat in the same way as you did the first, & finish the salaat as usual.

NOTE:

It is Mustahab to recite Qunoot before every 2nd Ruku, but it is enough if Qunoot is recited only before the 10th Ruku. (#1521)

Short method of Reciting Salaat-e-Ayaat

You should divide the second surah into five equal parts. The best one is Surah Ikhlaas.

NIYYAT (I am reading two raka’at Salaate-e-Ayaat Qurbatan ilallah)

TAKBIRATUL EHRAM, (Allaho Akbar)

recite SURATUL HAMD and 1st part of SURAH (Bismilla………)

then go to RUKU'. Your 1st RUKU is complete.

FIQH CLASS 9 - LESSON 10 & 11

SALAAT – E – QASR (Part I & II)

How The 17 Rakaats Are Reduced

PRAYER

/

RAKAATS RECITED DAILY

/ RAKAATS RECITED BY TRAVELLER
Fajr / 2 / 2
Zohr / 4 / 2
Asr / 4 / 2
Maghrib / 3 / 3
Isha / 4 / 2
Total / 17 / 11

It is recommended that a traveller should say thirty (30) times after every prayer:

"Subhanallahi walhamdu lillahi wala ilaha illallahu wallahu Akbar".

To recite dua after Zohr, Asr and Isha salaat is highly recommended; and to recite the above sixty (60) times rather than thirty (30) after these three prayers.

  1. Traveling Distance - TOTAL distance covered during the journey is 8 farsakh (28 miles) or more.
  2. Niyyat - Before starting the journey, there must be a firm intention (Niyyat) of traveling 28 miles or more.
  3. Traveler should not change his mind while on his way. If he changes his mind, or is undecided before covering 4 farsakh (14 miles), he should offer full prayers.
  4. Traveler does not intend to pass through his home town and stay there, or to stay at some place for 10 days or more, before he reaches a distance of 8 farsakh.
  5. Length of Stay - The intention (Niyyat) to stay must be for less than 10 days. The stay of 10 days means staying minimum from: Sunrise of 1st day to sunset of 10th day; OR Zohr of 1st day to Zohr of 11th day.
  6. Purpose of Journey- The journey should not be Haraam or for a Haraam purpose.
  7. Traveling not a profession- The traveling is NOT the normal journey which a person does on account of work.
  8. Town/City Boundary – HADDE TARAKH-KHUS - The traveller should be out of the boundary of the town orcity.

Now, lets apply these rules to everyday life by studying the lives of different people leaving in Greater Los Angeles.

Case 1 - Fatema

She lives in Los Angeles but is currently studying law at the University of San Diego. She stays at University dorm, as this saves her commuting everyday but comes home during the weekend and holidays.

Traveling Distance / She travels a total of 80 miles on average from her home
Town/City Boundary / She is going San Diego. She travels 40 miles one way from home.
Niyyat / She has made a niyyat to go to University of S.D.
Purpose of Journey / She is going to study – Halaal
Length of Stay / She is to stay there for 4 years to finish her course
Destination – WATAN / University will be her temporary home
Journey Frequency / As and when required
Decision / She will pray full namaaz
Reason / She is going to stay there for 4 years

Case 2 - Haider

He has just moved with his family to Riverside from Anaheim. He moved because both his sons are studying at the UCI Riverside. He however comes to work here in Anaheim.

Travelling Distance / More than 28 miles
Town/City Boundary / Outside hometown
Niyyat / He has made niyyat to make homes in both cities
Purpose of Journey / Moved so that he can accommodate his sons – HALAAL
Length of Stay / Indefinite
