But the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), who is the second legislator by the judgment of the Noble Qur’an, taught us thus. We come to the word Sunnah that arouses different opinions among the religious scholars. Some Jurists say there are enjoined acts, obligations and Sunnah; the Sunnah means practices if done you will be rewarded, if not you will not be punished, that is called adherence to the Sunnah of Judgment. As the two rak‘ahs you offer before the Subh Prayer; if you performed them you will be rewarded, if not you will not be punished. But as for the three rak‘ahs of the Maghrib Prayer you perform them acting upon the Sunnah of Proof not that of Judgment. Acting upon the more reliable course In the Hajj duty some people performed certain acts before others, postponed or done earlier. Upon asking the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) he said: “Do and there is no harm.” Such matters neither belong to the Sunnah of Proof nor that of Judgment. Hajj must make way for aspects of difference. But the performer of the Obligatory Hajj, in other words the First Hajj, should not depend on the easiest but the more reliable way. As for the Voluntary Hajj, performed after the Obligatory one, ease in it is broader and adopting the more reliable in acts of worship is an obligation, for pilgrimage to be more promising of being accepted by Allah. If you are offering prayers and do not know whether you offered two or three rak‘ahs we tell you to consider that you offered two rak‘ahs in order to adopt that which is more reliable. www.islambasics.com 76
For instance, in circumambulating the Ka‘bah and Al-Hatîm, which is the arc where Tawâf [The devotional act of circumambulating (i.e. walking around) the Ka‘bah seven times while reciting prayers and supplications. Tawâf should begin and end at the Black Stone] is performed outside it, you should not say that you would perform Tawâf just around the construction of the Ka‘bah, because originally its construction ended at this arc. At the time the Arab came to reconstruct the Ka‘bah, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was twenty-five years old; they pledged themselves to build it from honest money only. They gathered the honest money but found it insufficient except for the current space of the Ka‘bah construction. So, they decided to build that which the honest money could afford, whereas the rest would have a border built for it only. These borders that resemble an arc are part of the Ka‘bah. When you perform Tawâf, you not only circumambulate the erection of the Ka‘bah but also the additional parts outside the arc. If you perform Tawâf at the close circle, your Tawâf is valid. And if you perform Tawâf at the wide circle, your Tawâf is also valid. But when you perform Tawâf at the close circle, you will leave a part from the Ka‘bah. Because, it is definite that the part encircled by the arc, having no construction, is from the Ka‘bah. Obligatory Prayers are not permissible to be offered in it, because Obligatory Prayers are not permissible inside the Ka‘bah but only outside it while facing it. Therefore, it is wiser to circumambulate the whole Ka‘bah and face the whole of it in your prayers. In every enjoined duty you must behave prudently by offering extra, not less. Slaughtering the sacrificial animal Slaughtering has no explicit textual rule; therefore, you adopt the easily done judgment. www.islambasics.com 77
