Translators Notes
Dear Islamic brothers! Dawat-e-Islamis Majlis-e-Tarjim, a department
responsible for reproducing Shaykh-e-arqat Amr-e-Al-e-Sunnat,
founder of Dawat-e-Islm Allma Mauln Muammad Ilys Ar
Qdir Razavs
books and booklets into various languages
of the world, is pleased to present the book Namz kay Akm in
English under the title of Laws of Salah.
For the ease of the reader and in an effort to reconcile the
pronunciation of Arabic letters into Latin, a transliteration chart has
been added to represent those letters correctly.
Terms of Islamic Jurisprudence have not been translated as a
caution because in most cases, an English word cannot be a fully
justified substitute. However such terms have been defined to some
extent in the glossary.
For the citations of the various sources, the APA citation style has
been used. The pp. and p. in the citation stand for the page number
and vol. stands for volume. The bibliography has also been given at
the end of the book.
No doubt, this translation has been accomplished by the Grace of
All Almighty , by the favour of His beloved and blessed Prophet

Method of Wu
Method of Wu (anaf)
It is Mustaab to sit on an elevated place facing Qibla. To make
intention for Wu is Sunna. Intention means to intend by heart.
Verbal intention is preferable provided the same is present in the heart.
Therefore, make intention as, I am performing Wu in order to fulfil
the commandment of All and to attain purity. Recite
as
, as angels will continue
it is also a Sunna, rather say
writing good deeds as long as one is in the state of Wu. (Majma-uzZawid, pp. 513, vol. 1, ad 1112) Wash both hands up to the wrists three
times each and afterwards do Khill (to intermix fingers of both hands
to dampen the gaps) of the fingers (with the tap closed). Now use
Miswk three times in right & left, upper & lower teeth and after each
cycle, rinse the Miswk. ujja-tul-Islm Imm Muammad Ghazl
J says, Whilst using a Miswk, make intention to clean mouth
for the recitation of the Holy Qurn and for the ikr (Remembrance) of
All . (Iy-ul-Ulm, pp. 182, vol. 1)
Now rinse your mouth three times with handfuls of water (closing the
tap each time) using right hand making sure that water reaches all parts
of the mouth and gargle as well if you are not in fasting. Now sniff water
three times in nose up to soft flesh using three handfuls (now half
handful is sufficient) of right hand (closing the tap each time) and if not
in fasting, snuffle water up to the inside end of the nose. Now clean the
nose by left hand (keeping the tap turned off) and insert small finger
inside holes of the nose. Wash the whole face three times such that
water must flow on every part from the top of the forehead (the point
where the hair naturally begins to grow) to the bottom of the chin and
5
www.dawateislami.net
Laws of al
from one earlobe to the other. If one has beard and he is not in the
state of Irm (Special state for aj / Umra) then do Khill (with the
tap turned off) of beard by inserting the fingers into the beard from
the neck and bringing them out towards the front. Now wash the right
arm from the tips of the fingers up to (and including) the elbow three
times and then wash the left arm in the same manner. To wash up to
half of the upper arm is Mustaab. Most people take a small amount of
water in their hand and pour it over their arm towards the elbow three
times. But in this method, there is risk that water would not flow over
the edges of wrist and arm. Therefore, wash arms as mentioned. Now
there is no need to pour a handful of water over the arms. In fact, doing
this (without a valid justification) is wastage of water. Now (with the tap
closed) perform moistening of the head. This should be done by joining
the tips of the three fingers, other than the index fingers and thumbs,
of both hands and placing them on the top of forehead. Move back
these fingers from forehead to the back of the neck without letting the
palms touch the head. Each palm should then be placed on either side
of the head and pulled across the sides back towards the forehead.
During this, the index fingers and thumbs should not touch the head
at all. Now use the index fingers to wipe the insides of the ears, the
thumbs for the back of ears and the small fingers should be inserted
inside the holes of ears. Now moisten the back of the neck using the
back of fingers of both hands. Some people, in addition, wipe the front
of the neck, the forearms and wrists; this is not Sunna. Make a habit
of turning the tap off before wiping the head. To waste water by
leaving the tap open fully or partially is a sin. Now wash both feet
three times, first the right and then the left, beginning from the toes up
to the top of the ankles. It is Mustaab to wash up to halfway up the
shin. To do Khill between the fingers of both feet is Sunna. The tap
should be kept turned off during Khill. Its Mustaab method is to
start doing Khill from little toe of the right foot to its big toe using the
6

Method of Wu
small finger of the left hand, and then, doing Khill from the big toe of
the left foot to its little toe using the same small finger of the left hand.

Definition of Washing
Washing an organ means flowing of at least two drops of water on each
part of that organ. If the organ is simply moistened by rubbing a wet
hand over it, or if only one drop of water flows over a section of it then
it will not be considered washed and the Wu or Ghusl will not be
valid in that case. (Fatw Raawiyyah (Jad d), pp. 218, vol. 1, Bar-e-Shar'at,
pp. 288, vol. 1)

21. Using both hands for washing the face
22. Starting from the fingers when washing the hands and feet
23. Wiping away droplets of each organ by hands after washing so
that drops of water may not fall upon body or clothes especially
when one has to enter a Masjid because dripping of Wu waterdrops on to the floor of the Masjid is Makr-e-Tarm
24. Remembrance of the intention for Wu at the time of washing /
wiping of organs
25. Reciting Durd Sharf and Kalima-e-Shadat in addition to
at the beginning
26. Do not unnecessarily mop the washed organs and if mopping is
necessary, avoid drying them completely i.e. leave some wetness,
because on the Day of Judgement it will be weighed with the pious
deeds.
27. Do not jerk hands after Wu to remove droplets of water as it is
Satans fan.
28. Sprinkling water on that part of Shalwr (A type of loose trouser)
which is closer to urinary organ.
When sprinkling water on to the Shalwr, it is better to keep the
front part of the Shalwr hidden under the kurt. In fact, keeping
this part of the Shalwr concealed during the whole Wu and at
all other times using Kameez or a shawl is closer to modesty.
29. Offering two Rakat Nafl al after Wu if it is not a Makr
time. These Nawfil are called Taiyya-tul-Wu. (Bar-e-Sharat,
pp. 293-300, vol. 1)

Beloved Rasl of All (

night to offer al, you should clean your teeth with a Miswk because
when you recite the Qurn an angel places his mouth on yours and
anything coming out of your mouth enters the mouth of that angel.
(Shubul mn, pp. 381, vol. 2, ad 2117) There is a report narrated by arat
Sayyidun Ab Ayyb Anr
in the book Kabr written by
Imm abarn
that there is nothing more troublesome for
both angels than seeing their companion offering al with pieces of

Blood, pus or yellowish fluid came out, flowed and it could reach
to a part of the body that is Far to be washed in Wu or Ghusl,
Wu will become invalid. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 304, vol. 1)
2.
If the blood just emerged on the surface and did not flow, for
example when the skin is cut slightly with the point of a sewing pin,
knife or while using a toothpick or Miswk to clean your teeth or
while biting an apple causing impression of blood on apple or if
traces of blood seen on finger after inserting it into nose but not
capable of flowing, Wu will not be affected. (ibid)
3.
If it flows but not onto the surface of skin that must be washed in
Wu or Ghusl (e.g. you have a spot in your eye that bursts but
the fluid remains within the eyelids or you feel bleeding inside
your ear canal but the blood stays inside), Wu will not be affected.
(ibid, pp. 27)
4.
Even if the wound is quite large and the fluid is visible, Wu will
not become null (invalid) unless the fluid (pus/blood) flows from
the wound. (ibid)
5.
If one kept on cleaning the emerging blood from the wound and
did not let it flow, then ponder whether the cleaned quantity was
capable of flowing or not. If yes, Wu will become invalid and
otherwise, not. (ibid)

Similarly, when liquid glucose is injected into veins via a drip, the
Wu will no longer remain valid because in such cases blood
rises into the tube in the amount that could flow. If somehow,
blood does not enter the tube, Wu will not be affected.
4.
Getting blood out of body through a syringe for a blood test will
also nullify the Wu. This blood is as impure as urine. Therefore,
do not offer al with a bottle of blood in pocket.
Tears that flow out due to an infection or illness of the eyes are
impure and would also nullify Wu. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 310, vol. 1)
Unfortunately, many people are unaware of this ruling and they
mop away such tears like ordinary tears with their sleeves or clothes
thus making their clothes impure.
2.
The fluid discharged from the eye of a blind man due to disease is
impure and nullifies Wu. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 306, vol. 1)
Any fluid that is discharged from the human body but could not
nullify Wu is not impure. Examples are blood or pus that cannot
flow, or vomit that is less than a mouthful. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 309,
vol. 1)

Ad warning against wastage. Read them and tremble with Alls

1. Wastage at Canal
The Prophet of mankind, the peace of our heart and mind, the most
generous and kind
passed by arat Sayyidun Sad
who was performing Wu. Beloved and blessed Rasl of
All
asked, Why is this wastage (of water)? arat
Sayyidun Sad
replied, Is wastage of water accountable in
Wu? He
replied, Yes, even if you are at a water
course. (Sunan Ibn Mjah, pp. 254, vol. 1, ad 425)
Fatw of Al arat

Al arat, Imm-e-Al-e-Sunnat
comments on this ad
saying, This ad proves wastage of water even at a canal and wastage
is disliked by Shara. The verse
Verily, those who spend wastefully are not liked by Him (Allah).
(Part 8, Al-Anm, verse 141) [Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)]
has addressed wastage in absolute sense, hence this wastage (in Wu)
will be condemned and prohibited. Assertion for negation of wastage
in Wu is present in ad Sharf and negation actually desires
Tarm (prohibition) [i.e. commandment for prohibition of wastage
in Wu exists and this prohibition demands to declare it arm].

Wrongdoing / Offence
*
A Bedouin asked the beloved Rasl of Allah (
) how to
*
perform Wu. Makk Madan Muaf (
) demonstrated
by performing Wu and washed each organ three times. Then, he
*
(
) said, This is how Wu is performed, anyone who
increases or decreases in this has done evil and offence. (Sunan Nas, pp.
31, ad 140)
www.dawateislami.net
Method of Wu
Dear Islamic brothers! One who does not prevent himself from wasting
water should use his own water e.g. he may perform Wu by his
domestic water. All forbid, it doesnt mean that there is no
binding on wasting ones own water. Rather one must learn Shar Wu
by exercising intensively at home so that he may not commit a arm
by wasting water at Masjid.
2.
The handful does not always have to be filled to the top with water;
one must think as to for what purpose he is taking the water. For
instance, only half a handful of water is needed for sniffing into
the nose, then what is the purpose of taking full handful; a full
handful is not needed even for rinsing the mouth.

6.
While using a ewer for Wu, the stream of water should be moved
from the nails towards the elbows / ankles constantly so that all
parts are washed only once in one go, otherwise the slow movement
of the organ will result in water being poured on the same spot
several times (which will result in a sort of wastage).
32
www.dawateislami.net
Method of Wu
7.
Some people pour water from the nails towards the elbows (or
toes to the ankles) and then keep flowing the water as they bring
it back to the nails to start a second wash and then bring it back
(with the water still flowing) for a third wash whereas in fact this
results in washing the organ five times instead of three. Instead of
this, the jet of water should be stopped when it reaches the elbows
or ankles, it should be resumed from nails again. Washing from
nails towards elbows/ ankles is Sunna and not the reverse one
(To wash from elbows/ankles towards nails is not Sunna).
A comprehensive saying is that one should be moderate. Imm
has very rightly said, With moderation, a little
Shfi
is sufficient but without moderation, even ample amount of water
does not suffice. (Fatw Raawiyyah (Jad d), pp. 765-770, vol. 1)
Ask repentance (towards All ) for unlawful wastage done in
the past and make every possible effort to avoid it in the future.
2.
Think and plan well for arrangements that may lead to performing
of Wu and Ghusl according to Sunna with minimum
consumption of water. Make yourself fear the fact that the
accountability of each drop and even a tiny particle will be held
on the Day of Judgement.
3.
While doing Wu, turn the tap on carefully. During Wu, keep
one hand on the tap as long as possible and keep turning the tap
off when water is not needed.
4.
www.dawateislami.net
Laws of al
Make the habit of turning the tap off perfectly so that not a single
drop of water leaks during Miswk, mouth wash, gargling, nose
wash, Khill of beard and fingers of hand / foot and Mas
(moistening).
6.
7.
While making foam from soap for washing of hands / face, make
careful use of water. For example, for washing of hands, a few drops
of water may be taken in handful for making foam of soap. Opening
of tap with soap in hand may cause wastage of water.

To Strengthen Memory
Dear Islamic brothers! Miswk has many benefits in this world and the
Hereafter. Miswk contains many chemical ingredients which protect
the teeth from many infections. It is quoted in the margins of av:
Use of Miswk strengthen memory and eyesight, cures headaches and
relieves the veins in the head, eliminates sputum, improves digestion,
increases brain power, increases birth rate, delays aging and strengthens
the back. (shiya-tu-aw Ala Marqil Fal, pp. 69, Bb-ul-Madna, Karachi)

Whenever the Holy Prophet (

home, he would use the Miswk first. (Sa Muslim, pp. 152, vol. 1, ad

many germs grow in the gums. These germs spread up to the stomach

arat Sayyidun Junad Baghdd

said, Once I had nocturnal emission so I intended to
perform Ghusl. Since it was an extremely cold night, my Nafs (psyche)
lazily suggested, A long part of night is still remaining; what is the

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you see! Our past saints would bear severe
pains to thwart evil plans of Nafs. The foregoing parable contains a
great lesson for the Islamic brothers who, in case of nocturnal emission
at night, miss the Jamat of Fajr or (All forbid) even miss al
out of laziness feeling shyness from their family members ignoring the
horrible shame of the Hereafter. Whenever Ghusl becomes Far and
time of al starts, one should immediately perform Ghusl. A ad
Sharf states, Angels do not enter the home in which there is a portrait,
a dog or a Junub (a person for whom Ghusl has become mandatory
due to sexual intercourses, nocturnal emission, or ejaculation of semen
with lust). (Sunan Ab Dwd, pp. 109, vol. 1, ad 227)

cautions. Neither talk during Ghusl nor recite any invocation. After

uselessly, otherwise wiping will not be sufficient. If it is not possible to

although opening the bandage is possible, he would not be able to

the age of complete 15 years according to ijr calendar. (Fatw Raawiyyah

And if wiping is done with palm and fingers jointly, Tayammum will
still be valid whether traversing is done from fingers towards elbow or
vice versa. But this would be contrary to Sunna. Tayammum does
not require wiping of head and feet. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 353, 354, 356, vol. 1)
The thing that neither turns into ash nor melts and nor softens on
being burnt is classed as earthen and may be used for Tayammum.
Tayammum is allowed with sand, limestone, kohl, sulphur, stone,
emerald, and other gems, regardless of whether or not dust is
present on them. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 357, vol. 1, Bar-ur-Riq, pp. 257, vol. 1)

3.
The dust, stone etc. that is being used for Tayammum must be
pure i.e. there should be no traces of impurity on it. Further, even
if the impression of impurity had disappeared due to evaporation,
it is not allowable for Tayammum. (ibid, pp. 357) If a piece of land, a
wall, or mud on the ground becomes stained with impurity but
the stain then dries and vanishes due to the blowing of the wind
or the heat of the sun, they are considered pure for al, but
cannot be used for Tayammum.

Mere suspicion that it may have been impure is useless and not
applicable. (ibid, pp. 357)

14. If it is suspected that the caravan will go out of sight (or train will
leave) because of searching water, Tayammum is permissible. (ibid,

15. One was sleeping in the Masjid and Ghusl became Far (because
of nocturnal emission), he should perform Tayammum instantly
at the same place. This is the most cautious way. (Fatw Raawiyyah
(Jad d), pp. 479, vol. 3) He must then instantly leave the Masjid. Any
delay is arm. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 352, vol. 1)
16. If the available time for al is too short that the al would
become Qa (i.e. its stipulated time would elapse) in case of making
Wu or Ghusl, perform Tayammum and offer al. Then
repetition of that al is must having performed Wu/ Ghusl.
(Fatw Raawiyyah (Jad d), pp. 307, vol. 3)
18. If a person is present at such a place where neither water nor any
earthen object is available for Tayammum, he should perform all
acts of al within that al timing without making intention
for al. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 353, vol. 1) On having access to water
or earthen object, that al will have to be offered after performing
Wu / Tayammum.
19. The method of Tayammum in place of Wu and Ghusl is same.
(Al-Jauarat-un-Nayyra, pp. 28, vol. 1)
www.dawateislami.net
Method of Ghusl
21. The acts that nullify Wu or Ghusl will also nullify Tayammum.
Access to water will also nullify Tayammum. (ibid, pp. 360)
22. If a woman is wearing some jewellery in her nose she must remove
it; otherwise the part of the nose beneath the jewellery would not
be wiped. (ibid, 355)
23. The part of the lips that is visible when the mouth is closed in a
natural position (not too tight) must be wiped. If someone shut
his mouth so tightly that some part remained un-wiped,
Tayammum will not be valid. (ibid) The same ruling applies in case
of closing the eyes very tightly. (ibid)
24. If one is wearing ring or watch, these must be removed to wipe
beneath them. Islamic sisters should move their bangles in order
to wipe the skin beneath. More care is to be taken whilst performing
Tayammum as compared to Wu. (ibid)
25. If a sick or such a disabled person who does not have hands and
legs cannot perform Tayammum himself, somebody else should
help him perform Tayammum. In this case, the helping person
does not need to make intention; instead, the one being helped in
performing Tayammum will have to make his intention. (ibid, 354)
(Fatwa-e-'lamgr, 1982, pp. 26, vol. 1)
Madan Suggestion
Going through the booklets Method of Wu and Method of al
will be useful in learning the rulings concerning Wu and al
respectively.
O All , make us read, understand, and explain to others the
ruling of Ghusl over and over again and make us perform Ghusl

O believers! Let not your wealth or your children make you negligent from

remembrance of All refers to the five daily al, therefore, the
one who does not offer his al at its specified time because of his

Wearing such thick skin-tight clothes that do not expose the colour

Method of al
Some women wear such thin shawl made of muslin etc. that reveals
the blackness of their hair during al or wear such dress through
which the colour of body-parts is visible; the al offered wearing
such a dress will not be valid.
3. Istiqbl-e-Qibla
Istiqbl-e-Qibla means facing towards the Qibla during al.
1.
If the Muall (the one offering al) turns his chest deliberately
from Qibla without a valid reason, his al will become invalid
even if he turns back to Qibla instantly. However, if his chest turns
unintentionally and he turns back to Qibla within the amount of
time in which can be uttered thrice, his al will not be
invalid. (Munya-tul-Muall, pp.193) (Bar-ur-Riq, pp. 497, vol. 1)
2.
If only face turned from Qibla, it is Wjib to turn the face back
towards Qibla instantly. Although the al will not become
invalid in this case, it is Makr-e-Tarm to do so without a valid
reason. (Al-Marja-us-Sabiq)

Seven Fari of al
There are seven Fari in al.
(1) Takbr-e-Tarma (2) Qiym (3) Qir-at (4) Ruk (5) Sujd (6)
Qada-e-khra (7) Khurj-e-Biuni. (Dur-re-Mukhtr, pp. 158-170, vol.
2) (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 507, vol. 1)
1. Takbr-e-Tarma
In fact, Takbr-e-Tarma (also called Takbr-e-Aul) is one of the
pre-conditions for al but it has also been included in the Fari
because it is closely attached to the acts of al. (Ghunya, pp. 256)

If the Muqtad finds the Imm in Ruk and bends instantly for
Ruk uttering the Takbr, i.e. he finishes the Takbr after he had
already bent down to such an extent that his hands would touch
his knees if he stretched them, his al will not be valid. (Fatwae-'lamgr, pp. 69, vol. 1) (Rad-dul-Mutr, pp. 176, vol. 2) (What he should
do on such an occasion is to utter the Takbr-e-Tarma whilst
standing erect and then do Ruk uttering
. If he manages
to join the Imm in Ruk even for a moment, the Rakat will be
counted, but if the Imm stands up before he joins the Imm in
Ruk, the Rakat will not be counted.)

Beware!
Beware! The people who offer their Far al sitting due to any slight
pain, injury etc. should consider the foregoing ruling of Shara; it is
Far to repeat every such al offered sitting despite having the
strength to stand. Similarly, it is also Far to repeat all such al offered
sitting despite the fact that they could have been offered standing by
leaning on a staff, wall or with the help of a person. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp.
511, vol. 1) The same rule applies to women, i.e. they are not allowed to
offer al sitting without Shar permission.
7.
Some Masjid provide chairs on which some old people sit and
offer al despite coming to the Masjid on foot, they even talk
with others standing after the al; if such people offer al
sitting without Shara permission, their al will not be valid.

Warning!
Just a little practice is not enough for the one unable to pronounce
letters correctly; he must practice hard day and night. If such a person
can offer al led by the Imm reciting correctly, it is Far for him to
do so, or he must recite only such Ayas that he can recite correctly. If
both the aforementioned cases are impossible, his own al will be
valid during his learning period. Regretfully, these days a lot of people
have this shortcoming. They do not know how to recite the Qurn
correctly and do not try to learn either. Remember, this ruins al.

Disadvantages of Carpets
It is difficult to perform Sajda properly on the carpet; carpets cannot
easily be cleaned either. Therefore, dust and germs accumulate inside
them. In Sajda, dust and germs enter the body by means of breathing.
All forbid, the fluff of carpet, in case of sticking to the lungs as
result of inhaling, could give rise to the danger of cancer. Sometimes,
children vomit or urinate on the carpet; similarly, cats, rats and lizards
also excrete on them. In case of carpets being impure, it is not even
bothered to purify it. Would that the trend of using carpets in Masjid
die out!

After the completion of all Rakt of al, it is Far to sit in Qada
for the amount of time in which complete Tashaud ( ) up to

has not yet performed the Sajda of the fifth Rakat, he has to sit down.
However, if he has performed the Sajda of the fifth Rakat (or in case
of Fajr, did not sit after two Rakt and did the Sajda of the third
Rakat or in case of Maghrib, did not sit after the third Rakt and did
the Sajda of the fourth Rakat), the Far al will become invalid in
all these cases. In these cases, he should add one more Rakat except

is present in the Jamat). Further, he should also intend to say
Salm to Kirman Ktibn (angels deputed for writing deeds) as

the Fari; there is no harm in the pause taking place as a result of going
home to offer them at home. However, the pause due to contradictory
acts should be avoided; such a pause will result in the loss of the awb

of al nor it is aimed at rectifying al. Doing the act seeing
which from distance seems as if the doer of that act is not offering
al or if there is strong likelihood that he is not offering al,
that act is Amal-e-Kar. If the one watching from distance is in

Ab urara
that the Holy Prophet (
) said,
The one who raises and lowers his head before the Imm does,
the hair of his forehead are in the hand of Satan. (Muwaan Imm-eMlik, pp. 102, vol. 1, ad 212) Similarly, arat Sayyidun Ab

narrates that the Holy Prophet (

said, Does the person raising his head before the Imm not fear
that All turns his head with the head of a donkey? (Sa
Muslim, pp. 228, ad 427)
Donkey-Resembling Face
Once arat Sayyidun Imm Nawav J \ went to Damascus
to listen to a ad from a very famous person who used to teach his
students keeping his face covered. Imm Nawav J \
learnt a
lot from him for a long time but did not see his face. After a long time,
when the Muaddi (the famous person) realized that Imm Nawav
was very eager to acquire the knowledge of ad, one day
J \
he unveiled his face. To Imm Nawavs utter astonishment, the face of
the Muaddi was like that of a donkey. The Muaddi said, Son! Fear
from preceding the Imm during Jamat (i.e. lowering head for Ruk
or raising it from Ruk or raising head from Sajda prior to Imm);
when I got to know about this ad, I considered it Mustabad
(unauthentic) due to the unreliability of its narrators and preceded the
Imm deliberately, which resulted in my face being distorted in this
state that you are seeing now (i.e. my face has turned into the face of a
donkey). (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 560, vol. 1, Mirqat-ul-Mafatih, pp. 221, vol. 3)

31. Offering al wearing such clothes that have the image of an
animate being is Makr Tarm. Wearing such a dress is not
permissible even when not offering al. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 627, vol. 1)
32. If the portrait of an animate being is displayed above Mualls
head i.e. at the ceiling, the place of Sajda, at his front, his right or
left side, it is Makr-e-Tarm. If the picture is displayed at the
rear side, though it is also Makr, yet it is less severe than the
previous cases.
151

Laws of al
If the picture is lying on the floor and Sajda will not be performed on
it, there is no repugnance; if the portrait is of an inanimate object such
as river, mountain etc., there is no harm in it.
If the portrait is so tiny that if it is put on the ground and someone
sees it standing, the clear shape of facial organs will not be visible, like
the portraits of the scene of the awf of Kaba are so tiny, such
portraits are not the cause of repugnance in al. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp.
627, 628, vol. 1) However, if the face of even single person becomes clearly
visible in the picture of awf-crowd, it will remain prohibited.
There is no harm in the pictures in which the body-organs except face
such as hand, foot, back, the rear part of face are visible. Similarly, there
is no harm in the picture of the face whose eyes, nose, lips etc. have all
been erased.

the Qibla is not a condition even at the time of the beginning of

If he has offered Sajda of the third Rakat then he must add another

Method of Missed al
An Incident
An Islamic brother told me (Sag-e-Madna
), We, a few Islamic
brothers, were passing by a lane calling ada-e-Madna using a
megaphone at the time of Fajr al. Meanwhile, interrupting us, a
person said that his child who could not sleep all the night had just
slept. He requested us not to use the megaphone. We got annoyed
with that person as to what type of Muslim he was. We were awaking
people for al and he was preventing us. By chance, the next day we
again moved towards the same lane calling ada-e-Madna. The same
person was standing in gloom at the verge of the lane and said to us,
Today again my son had not slept all the night, he has just gone to
sleep, I am standing here to request you people to pass by this lane
silently.
This incident shows that ada-e-Madna should be called without using
megaphone and even when calling without it, one should not raise his
voice so loudly that it disturbs Islamic sisters offering al or reciting
the Holy Qurn inside homes, patients, aged people and children or
those who have fallen asleep after offering the al in its earlier time.
If someone prevents us from calling ada-e-Madna we should humbly
apologise to him rather than making arguments with him; further, we
should have positive opinion about him as surely no Muslim can
oppose awaking people for al; most probably, he would be facing
some genuine problem. Even if he is an abandoner of al, we are
still not entitled to behave aggressively. Instead, we should entice him
towards al politely making our individual effort on any other
appropriate occasion.

Definition of Faqr
A Faqr is the one who (a) possesses some assets but they are less than
the worth of Nib (b) or the one who possesses assets valued up to the
amount of Nib, but the same are engaged in his basic necessities (i.e.
by means of his assets, his basic needs are being fulfilled) e.g. a house
for living, household items, animals (or scooter, car) for travelling, tools
for a craftsman, clothes for wearing, slaves for servitude, Islamic books
for the one interested in religious study but not more than the
requirement, (c) Similarly, if someone is in debt such that on deduction
of debt, the remaining assets would be less than the worth of Nib; he
is also Faqr, no matter, he possesses multiples of Nib. (Rad-dul-Mutr,
pp. 333, vol. 3 etc.)

Definition of Miskn
A Miskn is the one who does not possess anything and he has to beg
others for food or clothes for covering the body. Begging is all
(allowed) for him. It is arm for a Faqr (i.e. the one who possesses
meal for eating of one time and has clothes for wearing) to beg without
need and compulsion. (Fatwa-e-'lamgr, pp. 187-188, vol. 1, Bar-e-Sharat,
pp. 924, vol. 1)
Dear Islamic brothers! It became obvious that the beggars who beg as
a profession without need and compulsion despite being capable enough
to earn livelihood are sinners; further, those who donate such people
despite being aware of their condition, their Zak and charity go to
waste and they become sinners as well.

Refulgent Attire
Once a saint saw his deceased brother in a dream and asked, Does the
supplication of the living people reach you (the dead)? He replied,
Yes. By Allah ! The supplication comes to us in the form of
refulgent attire that we wear. (Shar-us-udr, pp. 305)

A Well for Umm-e-Sad
arat Sayyidun Sad bin Ubda
asked, Y Raslull
*
(

adaqa (charity) on behalf of her), which adaqa would be the best
*
for her? The Holy Prophet (
) replied, Water. So,
Sayyidun Sad
got a well dug and said, This is for Sads
mother. (Sunan Ab Dawud Sharf, vol. 2, pp. 180, ad 1681)
Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyidun Sad
declared that the well
was dug for Sads mother, which meant that the digging of well was
aimed at donating awb to the mother of Sad
. The foregoing
narration also made it clear that there is no harm for the Muslims in
relating a goat or cow etc. to saints by saying sentences like, This is the
goat of Sayyidun Ghau-e-Pk
as it also means that the
sacrifice of this goat is aimed at just donating its awb to Sayyidun
Ghau-e-Aam
. Normally, people also relate sacrificial
animals to each other; for example, if you ask a person who is wandering
along with his sacrificial cow as to whose the cow is; he will reply,
Mine and it is not considered objectionable either. Therefore, if there
is no objection to saying such sentences, no objection can be raised to
saying This is the goat of Ghau-e-Pk as well. In fact, Allah is
the real Owner of each and every thing. Moreover, whether it is the
sacrificial cow or the goat of Ghau-e-Pk, the name of Allah is
mentioned at the time of slaughter of each sacrificial animal. May Allah
remove satanic whispers!

One may make the Il-e-awb1 of each and every deed such as
Far, Wjib, Sunna, Nafl, al, fasting, Zak, ajj, delivering
a speech or Dars, travelling with a Madan Qfila, acting upon
Madan Inmt, call towards righteousness, studying a religious
book or making individual effort etc.
2.
Holding gathering for the recitation of the Holy Quran and serving
meal to participants on the 3rd, 10th and 40th day of someones
death or solemnizing his death-anniversary are all commendable
deeds, as these are also the means of Il-e-awb. By Shara,
the absence of the proof of impermissibility about holding such
rites is itself a proof of permissibility. Moreover, living peoples
making supplication for the deceased is proven by the Holy Qurn
and the whole concept of Il-e-awb is based on this Quranic
proof. Therefore, verse 10 of Sra ashr, part 28 says:
! # $ %

And those who came after them make the plea: O our Lord! Forgive us
and our brothers who preceded us in faith.

The expenses for the meals served on Sawyam (the 3rd day of
demise), death anniversary etc. can be paid from the bequest of
the deceased provided all the inheritors are adult and they all give
consent either. If even a single heir is not adult, it is extremely
arm to do so. However, an adult inheritor can arrange for the

The meal served for sending awb to the saints is called Nar-oNiyz (in Urdu). This Niyz (meal) is Tabarruk (Sacred) and

Amad Raz Khan L #
as well as all other Muslim men and
women!
12. Whether awb is donated before the meal or after the meal, it is
correct in both ways.
13. If possible, reserve 1% money of your total daily sale (rather than
daily profit) for the Niyz of Ghau-e-Aam; the employees
should save at least 3% of their monthly salary with the same
intention. Either distribute religious books or spend this money
on any virtuous act. +,- . you will see its blessings for yourself.
14. To establish a Masjid or Madrasa is adaqa-e-Jriya (Perpetual
Charity) and a best mode of Il-e-awb.
15. Dstn-e-Ajb, Shazday k Sar, Das Bbiyon k Kan,
and Janb-e-Sayyida k Kan etc. are all fabricated and false
tales; never read them. A pamphlet entitled Waiyat Nma
(Will) consisting of the dream of a man called Shaykh Amad is
distributed; it is also false. This pamphlet mentions the benefits of
getting it photocopied and distributed in a particular quantity and
harms otherwise; do not believe it at all.
16. Even if awb is donated to innumerable Muslims, it is hoped by
the grace of Allah that complete awb will be given to each of
them. It is not so that awb will be divided amongst them. (Raddul-Mutr, vol. 3, pp. 180, Derived from Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, Part-IV, pp. 850)
17. The awb of the one donating awb is not reduced at all; rather,
it is hoped that he would get awb equal to the total amount of
awb he donated to each and every person. For example, someone
278
www.dawateislami.net
Method of Ftia
performed an act of piety for which he was given (the awb of)
ten good deeds which he donated to ten other deceased Muslims.
Now, each of the deceased would get ten good deeds and the
sender of awb would get one hundred ten. If he donated awb
to one thousand deceased, he would get ten thousand ten and so
forth. (Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, Part-IV, pp. 850)
18. Il-e-awb may be made to the Muslims only. Making Il-eawb to a disbeliever or an apostate (Murtad) or calling them
Marm is Kufr (blasphemy).

Whenever Niyz or any other type of ceremony is held at your home
and the time of congregational al approaches during the ceremony,
take all the guests to the Masjid for al with Jamat making individual
effort provided there is no Shar prohibition. Ceremonies should be
scheduled at such a time that the time of al does not fall within the
scheduled program so that the participants would not miss Jamat
due to laziness. There will probably be no difficulty in offering al
with Jamat if lunch is served immediately after uar al or dinner
is served after Isha-al. Even then, if the time of al approaches,
the host, the cook, the guest and those involved in serving the food
should all offer al with Jamat. Missing the Jamat of al just
