Arguing on Fiqhi <strong>is</strong>sues,<br />

claming that to be establ<strong>is</strong>hing the Sunnah<br />

Deputy Chairman: Abdul-Razzaq Afify<br />

Chairman: Abdul-Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn Baz<br />

Permanent Committee Fatwas: Group 1: Volume 12: Fatwa no. 5981<br />

Question: Many youth, today say: "We should forgo some acts of<br />

Sunnah in order to avoid d<strong>is</strong>agreement among the people, for example,<br />

placing of hands (in Salaat), ra<strong>is</strong>ing of hands (in Salaat), Jalsatul-Istirahah<br />

(a brief sitting after prostration and before standing for the next Rak'ah).<br />

They argue: Islam has priorities, and these <strong>is</strong>sues are those, which<br />

come during later stages - <strong>not</strong> in the initial stages; especially Jalsatul-<br />

Istirahah. They think that if you apply an act of Sunnah, and people begin<br />

looking at you with d<strong>is</strong>content, then th<strong>is</strong> will be a Fitnah (trial).<br />

They began using as proof (the verse): "Fitnah <strong>is</strong> worse than killing."<br />

(and the saying of the Prophet) "Fitnah <strong>is</strong> asleep. Allah has cursed those<br />

who awaken it." These are their proofs, (they say that) t he Prophet <br />

has commanded us to follow him, especially during times of<br />

d<strong>is</strong>agreement… "Whoever lives after me, will see a lot of d<strong>is</strong>agreements,<br />

so keep to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs,<br />

who will come after me." …and so on. (Please adv<strong>is</strong>e).<br />
