my trained hound. Then what is lawful for me to eat?" He said, "As for what you have mentioned about the people of the<br />

Scripture, if you can get utensils other than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their<br />

utensils and eat out of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it. and if you hunt<br />

something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it, and if you hunt something with your untrained<br />

hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it."<br />

EIGHT:<br />

69:17 - And the angels will be on its sides and eight will that Day bear the Throne of thy Lord<br />

above them. 56505651<br />

5650 The whole picture is painted in graphic poetical images, to indicate that which cannot be adequately described in<br />

words, and which indeed OUT human faculties with their present limited powers are not ready to comprehend. The<br />

angels will be on all sides, arrayed in ranks upon ranks, and the Throne of the Lord on high will be borne by eight<br />

angels (or eight rows of angels). That will be the Day when Justice will be fully established and man be mustered to<br />

his Lord for reckoning. (69.17)<br />

5651 The number eight has perhaps no special significance, unless it be with reference to the shape of the Throne or the<br />

number of the angels. The Oriental Throne is often octagonal, and its bearers would be one at each corner. (69.17)<br />

69:7 - Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and Which He imposed on them for seven<br />

long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as<br />

they were hollow trunks of palm trees.<br />

Fiqh 3.71a<br />

The Preference of the Majority Opinion Over That of ash-Shaf'i<br />

The author of ar-Rawdah an-Nadiyyah says: "Distributing all of the zakah to one group is more benefiting to the realization of<br />

the word of Allah." In brief, one may say that Allah made zakah applicable only to the eight specifically mentioned categories<br />

The number of rak'at of Tarawih<br />

Ibn Khuzaimah and Ibn Hibban have recorded in their sahihs on the authority of Jabir that the Prophet prayed eight rak'at<br />

Fiqh 4.47<br />

Funeral Prayer for a Martyr<br />

A martyr is one who is killed in a battlefield fighting the enemies of Islam. All the hadith on this subject are quite explicit that<br />

no funeral prayer may be offered for a martyr.<br />

There are, however, some hadith that are equally explicit and state that a funeral prayer should be offered for martyrs.<br />

Bukhari reported from 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir that one day the Prophet, peace be upon him, went out and offered a funeral prayer<br />

for the martyrs of Uhud, eight years after their death, as if he were bidding farewell to both the living and the dead.<br />
