How
is it to Offer Ṣalāh wearing a Half Sleeved Shirt?
Despite having other clothes,
offering Ṣalāh wearing a half-sleeved shirt is Makrūh-e-Tanzīhī. Ḥaḍrat
Ṣadrush-Sharī'ah, Muftī Muḥammad Amjad 'Alī A'ẓamī عَلَيْهِ
رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ القَوِيّ says, 'Offering Ṣalāh wearing a half-sleeved
shirt or a vest despite having other clothes is Makrūh-e-Tanzīhī; if there are
no other clothes, there is no repugnance.'
(Fatāwā-e-Amjadiyyah,
pp. 193, vol. 1)
Muftī-e-A'ẓam Pakistan Ḥaḍrat Qiblah
Muftī Waqār-ud-Dīn Qādirī Raḍavī عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ
اللّٰهِ القَوِيّ says, 'A half-sleeved shirt is assumed as labour-clothes (and a
person, in labour-clothes, normally hesitates in coming in front of the
nobility). Therefore, the one who hesitates to come in front of others in the
labour-clothes, his Ṣalāh will become Makrūh-e-Tanzīhī whereas the one who does
not hesitate to do so, his Ṣalāh will not become Makrūh-e-Tanzīhī.'
(Waqār-ul-Fatāwā, vol.
2, pp. 246)
The
Excellence of Last two Nafl of Ẓuhar
It is Mustaḥab to offer four Rak'at
at a blessed Ḥadīś says, 'Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ
will render fire Ḥarām for the one regularly offering four (Rak'at) before and
four (Rak'at) after Ẓuhar.'
(Jāmi' Tirmiżī, vol.
1, Ḥadīś 428)
Commenting on the foregoing Ḥadīś,
Imām Ṭaḥṭāvī عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ القَوِيّ
says that such a person would not enter fire at all, his sins would be deleted
and Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ would make the one
whose rights he may have violated pleased with him. Or the Ḥadīś implies that
Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ will enable him to
perform such deeds which will not lead to punishment. (Ḥāshiya-tut-Taḥṭāvī ala
Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp. 284, vol. 1) Ḥaḍrat 'Allāmah Shāmī عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ القَوِيّ says, 'There is a
glad-tiding for him (the one offering two Nawāfil of Ẓuhar) that he would die
with faith and would not enter the Hell.'
(Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp.
547, vol. 2)
Dear Islamic brothers! اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ! We offer ten Rak'at
of Ẓuhar Ṣalāh daily; if we offer two more Rak'at Nafl Ṣalāh at the end,
completing twelve Rak'at in connection with the sacred number of twelfth of
Rabī'-un-Nūr, it would take much time. Make the intention of offering two Nafl
Ṣalāh regularly.
Imāmat
There are six pre-conditions of
Imāmat for leading those who are not disabled, i.e. leading those who do not
have Shar'ī disability. The pre-conditions include:
1. Being a Muslim with correct Islamic
beliefs
2. Being an adult
3. Being Sane
4. Being male
5. Being correct in recitation of the
Holy Qurān
6. Not being disabled.
(Nūr-ul-Iidah, pp. 73,
Bahār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 560, vol. 1)
Conditions
of Following an Imām
1. Intention
2. Doing Iqtidā (act of following an
Imām) and making its intention at the time of Taḥrīmah. The intention can be
made before the Taḥrīmah as well provided no such irrelevant act that separates
the intention and Taḥrīmah is done.
3. The Imām as well as Muqtadī's being
in the same place
4. The Ṣalāh of both (the Imām as well
as the Muqtadī) has to be the same or Muqtadī's Ṣalāh has to be inclusive in
Imām's Ṣalāh.
5. According to Muqtadī's school of
thought, Imām's Ṣalāh's being valid
6. The Imām as well as Muqtadī's
considering the Ṣalāh valid
7. A woman's not standing next to a man
(Subject to certain conditions).
8. Muqtadī's not being ahead of the
Imām
9. (Muqtadī's) Being aware of Imām's
Intiqālāt (transitions)
10. Muqtadī's knowing that the Imām is a
resident or a traveller
11. Muqtadī's participating in
performing the units of Ṣalāh
12. Muqtadī's being equivalent or
inferior as compared to Imām in performing units of Ṣalāh
13. Similarly, Muqtadī's not being
superior to Imām in attributes (of Ṣalāh).
(Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp.
338, vol. 2) (Bahār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 562, vol. 1)
The
Imām should make the Following Announcement after Iqāmat
Straighten the Ṣaf (row) by
positioning your heels, necks and shoulders in the same alignment. Leaving
space between two men is a sin. Making the shoulders touch with others' is
Wājib. Straightening the Ṣaf is Wājib. Unless the front Ṣaf is complete up to
its ends, deliberately starting Ṣalāh at a rear Ṣaf is the abandonment of a
Wājib, Ḥarām and a sin. Do not let minors (aged less than 15 years) stand in
the Ṣafs, nor ask them to stand at the corners of the Ṣaf; the Ṣaf for minors
should be made at the end.

Jamā'at
(Congregational Prayer)
It is Wājib for a sane, adult, free
and capable person to attend the primary Jamā'at of the Masjid. The one missing
Jamā'at even once without a valid reason is a sinner and deserving of
punishment. If he abandons Jamā'at many times, he is a transgressor and
unqualified to give evidence and he will be punished severely. If his
neighbours remain silent (did not adopt any strategy to reform him) they will
also be sinners.
(Durr-e-Mukhtār,
Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 340, vol. 2, Ghunyah, 508)
Some of the Honourable Scholars رَحِمَهُمُ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی say that the one
waiting for the Iqāmat staying at home having heard the Ażān is a sinner and
his evidence will not be accepted.
(Fatāwā Raḍawiyyah,
Jad Īd, pp. 102, vol. 7)
Twenty
Valid Reasons for Missing Jamā'at
1. The patient having difficulty in
getting to the Masjid.
2. A disabled person
3. The one whose leg has been cut
4. A paralysed person
5. The one who is too old to get to the
Masjid.
6. A blind person, even if there is
someone who can take the blind person to the Masjid by holding his hand.
7. Heavy rain
8. Too much mud (that is an obstruction
for the Muṣallī to get to the Masjid).
9. Chilly weather
10. Extreme darkness
11. Tornado
12. Fear of the loss of possessions or
food
13. Fear of a creditor and he is not in
a position to pay back
14. Fear of an oppressor
15. Intense need of defecating
16. Urinating or
17. Breaking wind
18. Presence of food (with a desire of
eating).
19. Fear of the departure of caravan
20. Looking after a patient who will be
distressed and confused if the attendant goes to offer Ṣalāh with Jamā'at.
All these are the valid reasons for
not attending the Jamā'at.

Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 347, 349, vol. 2)
