The excellence of wearing a blessed ‘Imâmah on Jumm’ah

It is recorded in Majma az-Zawâ’id:

The Beloved Rasūl şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam said, Indeed, Allâh Almighty and His Angels send Durūd [blessings] upon those who wear an ‘Imâmah on Friday.

Protected from calamities for ten days

Sadr-as Sharī’á Mawlana Amjad Alī Aazmi rađiyAllāhu ánhu says,

A blessed Hadīth mentions that if an individual trims his nails on a Friday then Allâh Almighty protects him from calamities until the following Friday plus three extra days, ten days in total. (Tadkira-tul-Mawdu'aat li ibnil Qaisrani, Hadīth 765) 

Another narration mentions that if an individual trims his nails on a Friday, mercy will arrive and sins will depart. (Tanziya-tush-Sharia-til-Marfu'ah, vol. 2, pp. 269, Dar U-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut & Bahar-e Shari'ah, Part 16, pp. 195, Madīnah-tul-Murshid Bareilly Sharif)

It is further stated in Radd Ul-Muhtâr:

It is preferable to have ones hair cut and nails trimmed after the completion of Friday Salâh.

Salāt al-Janāzah of a Wahābī

From al-Malfūdh, Pg 95:

Question

What is the ruling of the Shari’ah on a person who performed the Salāt al-Janāzah of a Wahābī that prescribed to anti-Islamic beliefs?

Answer

There is no Salāt al-Janāzah for a Wahābī, Rāfdī, Qadiyānī all heretics whose Kufr has been established, Salāt al-Janāzah is for a Muslim who holds correct Islamic beliefs and not for the Kuf’fār or an apostate. After knowing this fact and to still read Salāt al-Janāzah for such a person is kufr.

Imāms of Tafsīr

From al-Malfudh, pp. 326,

Question

There are many places where the comment of the Imāms of Tafsīr are not accepted, e.g. Qādī Baydāwī and Khā’zin both have specified that Towrāt still has comprehensive details of everything.

Answer

Qādī Baydāwī and Imām Khā’zin rađiyAllāhu ánhuma are not Imāms of Tafsīr. To be an Imām of Tafsīr is one thing and to compile a book on the subject of Tafsīr is totally a different thing altogether. The Imāms of Tafsīr are the illustrious Sahāba rađiyAllāhu ánhum and only the distinguished ‘Ulamā amongst the Tāba’īn rađiyAllāhu ánhum. Not every Tāba’ī is an Imām of Tafsīr, only the most knowledgeable amongst them who have specialised in this field are regarded as Imams of Tafsīr. Imām Mujāhid rađiyAllāhu ánhu was certainly an Imām of Tafsīr and he perfected the field under the tutorship of Sayyid al-Mufassirīn Jabar al-‘Ummah, Sayyidunā ‘Abdullāh ibn Abbās rađiyAllāhu ánhu. His commentary will certainly be accepted as authentic and unquestionable.  

Ladies attending the Mosque

From al-Malfudh , pg 350 – 351:

Question

If there are women performing salāh and behind theme there is a wall. What is the condition of the salāh of the men standing behind this wall?

Answer

If the wall is so low that the men are able to see the heads or chest of the women in front, then salāh [performed by the men] is not accepted.

Question

What if the women are elderly?

Answer

Old or young, it is forbidden for women to go to the Masjid. It is stated in a blessed Hadith, “For women, salāh performed in a [secluded] cellar is better than that performed in their [private] room. Salāh performed in her room is better than that performed by her in the veranda [of her home]. Salāh in her veranda is better than the salāh performed in the courtyard [of her home]. And the salāh performed in the courtyard is better than the salāh performed in my Masjid [Masjid al-Nabawi Sharif].”[1]   

Thus, women are exempted from performing salāh with the congregation in a Masjid. In fact, it is forbidden by the Sharī’āh for women to perform salāh in a Masjid. Their association and intermingling with men is never empty of Fitnah. Look around you today! What is the moral situation of the Muslim society? Does this not open the eyes of the Muslim?

---

[1] In this hadîth, Sayyiduna RasulAllah sallallahu alayhi wasallam emphasises that the more a woman hides herself in performing salāh, the better and more excellent it is for her.

A reason for decrease in ones provision

Sadr-as Sharia' Mawlana Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali Aazmi radi Allahu anhu says, 

'It is desirable to trim one's nails on Friday but if they are very long one should not wait for Friday because letting one's nails grow in length is a cause for decrease in one's provisions.' (Bahar-e Shariah, Part 4, Pg 195, Madina-tul-Murshid Bareilly Sharif)
