Pertaining to the rulings of the supermoon eclipse

aljamaykee Leave a comment

Pertaining to the rulings of the supermoon eclipse:

Among them is that we do not pray it unless it is seen and we do not infrom others of its occurence beforehand.

Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen rahimahullah was asked:

Question: Is it more deserving to inform about the promise of an eclipse so that the people can prepare?

Answer: “What is more deserving in my opinion is not to inform because the coming of the eclipse suddenly will fall more severely in the souls of the people. So like this, we find that when the people knew about the physical means of the eclipse and they knew about it before its occurrence, the affair became weaker in the hearts. So like this, the people, before knowing these affairs, if an eclipse occurred were very afraid and went to the masaajid fearful and their hearts trembling. And in Allah aid is sought”

[Majmoo al-Fatawa wa-Rasaail no. 5931]

Also the Shaikh said rahimahullah”

Issue: If the astronomers say: there will be a eclipse, then we do not pray until we see it with a regular sight because the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam said:

إذا رأيتم ذلك فصلو

If you see that, then pray

[Bukhari no. 1058 and  Muslim no. 901]

As for if Allah favors us that we do not see it in our land except through a telescope, then we do not pray”

[Sharh Mumti’ (5/180)]

The Shaikh also said:

Issue: Is it better to inform people about its occurrence before it occurs?

Answer: “No doubt its occurrence suddenly is more severe upon the souls and if the people speak of it before its occurrence and calm the souls for it and prepare for it, then the affair becomes a natural affair. Like the Eid prayer which the people gather for. So like this, we do not find a benefit in informing about it, rather it is closer to harm than benefit”

There is not a heart from the hearts except it has clouds like the clouds of the moon.

The Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam said:

ما من القلوب قلبٌ إلا و له سحابةٌ كسحابةِ القمرِ ، بينما القمرُ يُضيءُ إذ عَلَتْه سحابةٌ ، فأظلَم ، إذ تجلَّتْ

“There is not a heart from the hearts except it has clouds like the clouds of the moon. If the clouds cover the moon when it is shining, it turns dark and when it goes away it appears”

[Saheeh Jami no. 5682]

Imam San’aani rahimahullah said:

“That is the hearts. Sometimes it is bright and the meanings are recalled and it remembers its Lord. Sometimes is is dark and does not realize anything”

[Tanweer Sharh Jami as-Sagheer]

Imam al-Munaawi rahimahullah said:
 
“The reason for the Hadith was mentioned in al-Firdaws that Umar asked Ali about a man who is speaking then forgets [what he is saying] then remembers. So Ali said he heard the Messenger sallahu alayhi wa salam said the following narration”

[Fayd ul-Qadir (5/466)]

This is very interesting as it explains that phenomena when we suddenly forget what were saying in a middle of a conversation. The full narration mentions the following:

Ali said radiallah anhu said:

 وبينا الرجل يحدث الحديث إذ علته سحابة فنسي ، إذ تجلت عنه فذكر 

“While a man speaks some speech, the clouds cover [his heart] so he forgets. When it clears, he remembers”

Darussaafi's avatarSalafiyyah

Shaikh Muqbil Ibn Hadi al-Wadi’ee rahimahullah:

Question: What is the ruling on the reciting Takbir in unison on ‘eid?

Answer: “This has not been reported from the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam. So we do not advise this and if anyone did this we advise them not to do it. And we cannot rule that this person is an innovator and in Allah aid is sought.”

Question: What is the ruling on sending peace and blessings upon the Prophet and his wives between the Takbirat of eid?

Answer: “I do not know anything reported on this from the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam”

[http://www.muqbel.net/fatwa.php?fatwa_id=2650]

Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen rahimahullah was asked:

Question: It is found in some Masaajid in the city on the day of eid before the prayer that the Imam makes Takbir through the microphone and the congregants make takbir with him. So what…

An Unauthentic Wording for the Eid Takbeerat – Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad

Darussaafi's avatarSalafiyyah

Question: In our land, if the people gather for the Eid prayer and the Imam makes Takbir in the following form:

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilahi illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, walilahi al-Hamd. Allahu Akbar Kabeerah, wa Alhamdulliah Katheera, wa Subhanallahi Bukhratan wa Aseelah. Then the people repeat this after him. So what is the ruling on this action and is this remembrance established?

Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad said in regards to the wording:

“It is has come from some of the Companions the wording: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilahi illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, walilahi al-Hamd. Also Allahu Akbar Kabeerah has come. As for the wording: La ilaha illalah wahda, sadaqah wa’dah, wa Hazamal-Ahzaab al-Wahdah. I don’t know about it being reported “.

Surah Yusuf, Verse 38:
وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ آبَائِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ مَا كَانَ لَنَا أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِاللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ذَٰلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ

“And I have followed the religion of my fathers, – Ibrahim (Abraham), Ishaq (Isaac) and Ya’qub (Jacob)], and never could we attribute any partners whatsoever to Allah. This is from the Grace of Allah to us and to mankind, but most men thank not (i.e. they neither believe in Allah, nor worship Him).

Let us hasten to seek Allah’s reward while hastening just as fast to seek His forgiveness, let’s not take a beautiful opportunity like this for granted and let it pass us.

May Allah overlook the shortcomings of our brothers and sisters who passed away, and may He grant our brothers and sisters across the globe istiqamah, salaam and sakinah, ameen
