Removing
Grit during Ṣalāĥ
1. It is Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī to remove
grit during Ṣalāĥ.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
493, vol. 2) (Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 493, vol. 2)
Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Jābir رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ said that when he
asked the beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ
تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم about touching grit during Ṣalāĥ, the Holy
Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ
وَسَلَّم replied, 'Once, and if you avoid
doing so, it is better than a hundred black-eyed she-camels.'
(Ṣaḥīḥ
ibn-e-Khuzaīmaĥ, pp. 52, vol. 2, Ḥadīš 897)
However, if Sajdaĥ cannot be
performed according to Sunnaĥ due to grit, removing it once is allowed.
Further, if any Wājib cannot be performed without removing the grit, removing
it is Wājib in this case even if there is the need of removing it more than one
time."
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
493, vol. 2, Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 493, vol. 2)
Cracking
Knuckles
2. It is Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī to crack
knuckles during Ṣalāĥ.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
493, vol. 2)
Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Khātim-ul-Muḥaqqiqīn Ḥaḍrat 'Allāmaĥ
Ibn-e-'Abidīn Shāmī رَحْمَۃُاللّٰہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہ has mentioned a narration with the reference of
Sunan-e-Ibn-e-Mājaĥ that the beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, 'Don't crack
your knuckles during Ṣalāĥ.' (Sunan Ibn Mājaĥ, pp. 514, vol. 1, Ḥadīš 965)
Another narration with the reference of 'Mujtaba' says that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
prohibited from cracking knuckles at the time of waiting for Ṣalāĥ. One more
narration says that knuckle-cracking was forbidden for the one going for
offering Ṣalāĥ. On the basis of the foregoing Aḥādīš, the following three
rulings were proved:
a) Cracking knuckles during Ṣalāĥ as
well as Tawābi'i (connectors of) Ṣalāĥ such as is going for offering Ṣalāĥ or
waiting for Ṣalāĥ is Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
625, vol. 1)
b) Cracking knuckles unnecessarily when
not offering Ṣalāĥ (nor even during Tawābi'i Ṣalāĥ) is Makrūĥ-e-Tanzīĥī.
c) When not offering Ṣalāĥ, cracking
knuckles out of a need such as giving rest to fingers is Mubāḥ.
(Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp.
493-494, vol. 2)
3. Tashbīk, i.e. intermixing the
fingers of one hand with those of the other.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
493, vol. 2)
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, 'The one
proceeding to Masjid should not do Tashbīk i.e. he should not intermix both
hands' fingers with each other, (as) verily, he is in Ṣalāĥ.'
(Jāmi' Tirmiżī, pp.
396, vol. 1, Ḥadīš 386)
Tashbīk is Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī at the
time of waiting for Ṣalāĥ as well as going for offering Ṣalāĥ.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
625, vol. 1, Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp. 493, vol. 2)
Placing
Hand on Back
4. Placing hand on back during Ṣalāĥ is
Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī. One should not place hand on the back i.e. at the middle of
both the sides without a reason even when not offering Ṣalāĥ.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
494, vol. 2)
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said that placing
hand on back is the comfort of those who would be in Hell.
(Sharḥ-us-Sunnaĥ-lil-Baghawī,
pp. 313, vol. 2, Ḥadīš 731)
In other words, it is the practice
of the Jews who would be in Hell; in reality, there would be no comfort for
those who would be in Hell."
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
618, vol. 1)
Looking
Towards the Sky
5. It is Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī to raise the
eye-sight towards the sky during Ṣalāĥ.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
626, vol. 1)
The beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
said, 'How are those who raise eyes towards the sky during Ṣalāĥ; they had
better refrain from it or else their eyes will be plucked.'
(Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, pp.
265, vol. 1, Ḥadīš 750)
6. Seeing here and there by turning the
face (whether completely or partially) during Ṣalāĥ is Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī. Seeing
here and there unnecessarily just by turning eyes without turning face is
Makrūĥ-e-Tanzīĥī; and if it is rarely done out of a need, there is no harm.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
626, vol. 1)
The Prophet of mankind, the peace of
our heart and mind, the most generous and kind صَلَّى
اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, 'The mercy of
Allāĥ remains attentive to the Muṣallī unless he sees hither and thither; when
the Muṣallī turns his face, His (Allāĥ's) mercy also turns.'
(Sunan Abū Dāwūd, pp.
344, vol. 1, Ḥadīš 909)
7. Men's keeping their forearms laid
(on the ground) in Sajdaĥ.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
496, vol. 2, Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 496, vol. 2)
Looking
Towards the Muṣallī
8. To offer Ṣalāĥ facing the face of a
person is Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī. For the other person, it is impermissible and sin
to turn face towards the Muṣallī. If someone starts offering Ṣalāĥ facing the
face of a person who was beforehand sitting in that direction, the one starting
Ṣalāĥ will be sinner and will be accused, otherwise, the one turning face
towards a Muṣallī will be sinner and will be accused.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
496-497, vol. 2)
All those who look back after the
Salām of Jamā'at is performed, facing the face of the Muṣallī offering Ṣalāĥ
just behind them or those who stand facing him and wait for him to perform
Salām so that they could go back or those who make announcement, deliver Dars
or Speech sitting or standing just in front of the Muṣallī, all should repent.
9. To cover the nose and the mouth
during Ṣalāĥ.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
511, vol. 2) (Fatāwa-e-'Ālamgīrī, pp. 106, vol. 1)
10. Clearing throat, i.e. bringing
phlegm to the mouth unnecessarily.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
511, vol. 2)
11. Yawning deliberately during Ṣalāĥ is
Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī;
(Marāqil Falāḥ, pp.
354)
but if it is spontaneous, there is
no harm in it; yet it is Mustaḥab to stifle it. The beloved and blessed Prophet
of Allāĥ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ
وَسَلَّم said, 'If someone feels the need of
yawning during Ṣalāĥ; he should stifle it as long as possible, because Satan
enters the mouth.'
(Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp.
1597, Ḥadīš 2995)
12. To recite the Holy Qurān in the
reverse order (for example, reciting Sūraĥ-e-Laĥab in the first Rak'at and
Sūraĥ-e-Nasr in the second)
13. Missing a Wājib. For example, going
down for Sajdaĥ without standing erect in Qawmaĥ or going for the second Sajdaĥ
without straightening the back in Jalsaĥ is Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
629, vol. 1)
A large number of Muslims seem
involved in this sin. Remember! It is Wājib to repeat all such Ṣalāĥs.
14. Reciting the Holy Qurān in any other
unit of Ṣalāĥ except Qiyām.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
629, vol. 1)
15. Completing Qirā-at having bent for
Rukū'.
(ibid)
16. Muqtadī's bending for Rukū' or going
down for Sajdaĥ etc. or raising head prior to the Imām, all are
Makrūĥ-e-Taḥrīmī.
(ibid)
Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Imām Mālik narrates
via Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Abū Huraīrah رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ
عَنْهُthat the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ
تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, 'The one who raises and lowers his
head before the Imām does, the hair of his forehead are in the hand of Satan.'
(Muwaṭṭan
Imām-e-Mālik, pp. 102, vol. 1, Ḥadīš 212)
Similarly, Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Abū
Huraīraĥ رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُnarrates that
the Holy Prophet صَلَّى صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى
عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, 'Does the person raising his head
before the Imām not fear that Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ
turns his head with the head of a donkey?'
(Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp.
228, Ḥadīš 427)
