I ask Allah The Lord of the Mighty Throne to make us from those that tread upon this path, the path of legislative knowledge, and acting upon it, and steadfastness upon it, and may Allah reward our brother the virtuous Ustaadh Abdul’aleem for his good hosting and his welcoming, him and others from his brothers, those that are running this blessed Markaz, which we hope that Allah brings about good through it, and through these excellent faces, for indeed the continuing of legislative knowledge and the steadfastness of the student of knowledge upon this will bring about – with the permission and success of Allah – great good, as the Ummah is in need of callers to Allah The Mighty and Majestic, who give insight to the people to the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, and clarify the path to Allah The Mighty and Majestic to them, and clarify what will be a blockage and a barrier to them from reaching what is with Allah The Mighty and Majestic and what He has prepared for the righteous.

And all praise is to Allah lord of all that exists.

So congratulations to those who use this fleeting time to earn what is with Allah and what He has prepared for His righteous slaves. The Prophet ﷺ clarifying the value of time, health, and the importance of not wasting these blessings. As it comes in the authentic hadith narrated by Ibn ‘Abbas, the Prophet ﷺ said: “Two blessings that many people squander: health and free time”.
Time is a great blessing, as is health. If you do not use it in the obedience to Allah, and at the head of this is seeking legislative knowledge, they may fade away. And if these blessings are removed from you, the path to Allah The Mighty and Majestic will be removed from you. And Allah has clarified in the Qur’an that He removes blessings from those who do not show gratitude:
(لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ)
“If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.’ “
[Ibrahim:7]

Strive O student of knowledge upon steadfastness upon this great blessing, and the making use of your time. The making use of your days and nights to acquiring legislative knowledge, because it is the path to security and safety in both this Dunyaa and the Aakhirah. It is also the way to protection from trials and tribulations. This is your path which through it will obtain what those that compete – compete for.
It is your path to Jannah. Whoever desires the shortest path to Jannah, then upon them is to commit to the path of seeking legislative knowledge, and being steadfast upon it, and Allah The Mighty and Majestic has facilitated for you the likes of these great centres, where you obtain legislative knowledge, knowledge of the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet ﷺ, so praise Allah for this great blessing, and thank Him Exalted is He through making use of this time and making use of this blessing to achieve legislative knowledge, which is your salvation in the dunyaa and the aakhirah, and Allah The Mighty and Majestic promised His slaves salvation and aid if they tread upon this path:
(وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝ إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ۝ وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ)
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers.[That] indeed, they would be those given victory. And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome”.
[As-Saffat:171-173]

And He, may He be Exalted, said:
(ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نُنجِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ)
“Then We will save our messengers and those who have believed. Thus, it is an obligation upon Us that We save the believers”.
[Yunus:103]

And He, may He be exalted, said:
(يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِن تَنصُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ)
“O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet”.
[Muhammad:7]

And He, may He be exalted, said:
(إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلْأَشْهَٰدُ)
“Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand”.
[Ghaafir:51]

If you want Allah’s support, if you want salvation in the dunyaa and the hereafter, then the greatest of the means you can tread in this is, striving and steadfastness upon legislative knowledge: “Whoever treads upon a path seeking therein knowledge, Allah will make a path to Jannah easy for them through it”.
Then what do you think is the case for those that are firmly settled on guard in the centres of Ahlus-Sunnah, in their days and nights, obtaining legislative knowledge, intending therewith the face of Allah and achieving His pleasure and what He has with Him, and this is more deserving to be from those that Allah The Mighty and Majestic promised salvation and aid in the dunyaa and the aakhirah.

349◾️The reconciliation between the Ḥadīth: (Make the last Ṣalāh of yours during the night the Witr) and between the Ḥadīth: (Al-Nabī ﷺ prayed 2 Rakʿahs after Witr)◾️****

Answered by Fadeelatushaykh Abu Hatim Yusuf Al-'Inaabi Al-Jazaa'iree - may Allah preserve him -

*?Question:*

"How is reconciliation made between the Ḥadīth: (Make the last Ṣalāh of yours during the night the Witr) and between the Ḥadīth: (Al-Nabī ﷺ prayed 2 Rakʿahs after Witr)?

*?Answer:*

"The Ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar, may Allāh be pleased with them both, in the Ṣaḥīḥayn, "Make the last Ṣalāh of yours during the night the Witr", points towards it being Mustaḥab for a person to end his night prayer with the Witr, with it being permissible to perform Ṣalāh after that as a reconciliation between the evidences.

Imām Ibn al-Mundhir said in his book, "Al-Awsaṭ" (5/201):
"Performing Ṣalāh is permissible at all times except the times the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbidden performing Ṣalāh in. And the times the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade performing Ṣalāh in include: Time of Sunrise, Time of Zawāl, and the time of Sunset. And Ṣalāh at the rest of the times is unrestrictedly permissible, it's not for a person to forbid that except with evidence, and there is no evidence with those who say it is disliked to pray after Witr, and this action of his points towards that his statement : "Make the last Ṣalāh of yours during the night the Witr," is optional, and not obligatory.

Verily, we say it's Mustaḥab for a person to make his last Ṣalāh the Witr, and we do not make the Ṣalāh after the Witr disliked, and the one who takes this is someone who has taken both the reports entirely." End of Speech.

Imām Ibn Khuzaymah, may Allāh have mercy upon him, entitled a chapter heading in his "Ṣaḥīḥ", saying: "The chapter of mentioning the proof that Ṣalāh after Witr is permissible for all who wish to perform Ṣalāh after it, and the two Rakʿahs al-Nabī ﷺ used to pray after Witr were not exclusive to al-Nabī ﷺ, to the exclusion of the Ummah. As al-Nabī ﷺ ordered us with two Rakʿahs after Witr as a preferred and virtuous command, and not a command of obligation and Farḍ." End of speech.

And from that which points to its permissibility is the Ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah may Allāh be pleased with her, that he (ﷺ) would perform Witr and then perform two Rakʿahs whilst sitting, and if he wished to make Rukūʿ, he would stand and make Rukūʿ.

So al-Nabī ﷺ would perform these 2 Rakʿahs in a specific manner, and he would read in them Sūrah al-Zalzalah and al-Kāfirūn, as reported by Aḥmad, from the Ḥadīth of Abī Umāmah may Allāh be pleased with him, which is in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Musnad.

And from that which proves the permissibility of performing Ṣalāh after Witr:
That it has been established from multiple companions that they would pray Shafʿan (in twos) after the Witr.

Their reports were reported by Ibn Abī Shaybah in "al-Muṣannaf", and from those companions are:
ʿAmmār Ibn Yāsir, Ibn ʿAbbās, and ʿAmr Bin ʿĀʾidh, may Allāh be pleased with them.

He (Ibn Abī Shaybah) said: Wakīʿ narrated to us, who said: Shuʿbah narrated to us on the authority of Qatādah, on the authority of Khilās Bin ʿAmr al-Hajarī, on the authority of ʿAmmār who said: "As for me, then I perform Witr, and if I wake up, then I pray in twos, and I leave my first Witr as it is."

Wakīʿ narrated to us on the authority of Shuʿbah, on the authority of Abī Jamrah, on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās and ʿĀʾidh Ibn ʿAmr who said: "If you performed Witr in the first part of the night, then do not perform it during its last part, and if you perform it during the last part, then do not perform it during the first part."

Wakīʿ narrated to us, who said: Ḥammād Ibn Salamah narrated to us, Ḥafṣ narrated to us, on the authority of Ibn Jurayj, on the authority of ʿAṭāʾ, on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: "Whosoever performs Witr in the first part of the night, and then he wakes up, then let him pray 2 Rakʿahs, 2 Rakʿahs."

Check, also "al-Awsaṭ" of Ibn al-Mundhir.

So whoever rules Islam upon the grave worshippers who live in the midst of the Muslims, and to label them Mushriks: stipulate the establishment of the evidences upon them whilst they are turning away from Tawheed.

Then they are falling into opposition of the evidences of the Book and the Sunnah and the Consensus of the Muslims, and have exited the way of the believers.

Because they with this have established the Madhab of the people of Irjaa, by restricting disbelief to those stubborn, and have laid waste to making Takfeer due to turning away and other than this of what the people of knowledge have unanimously agreed upon of labelling the title Mushrik upon those that commit it due to their negligence and turning away from the guidance of Tawheed, due to them seeing the people of Tawheed opposing them, and they don't give any care to this nor ask about their religion, rather you find them hating the people of Tawheed and labelling them Wahabis and calling them bad names, as is the affair of their predecessors, the Mushriks at the time of the Prophet ﷺ, with the Prophet ﷺ and his companions, may Allah be pleased with them all.

[Page 56]

And in the clarification of this the Allaamah Ishaaq bin Abdurrahman, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: "How will the grave worshippers have the evidences established upon them, whilst they are not Muslims, nor enter into what is the essence of Islam. Do any actions remain alongside Shirk, whilst Allah the most high said:
(وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلْجَمَلُ فِى سَمِّ ٱلْخِيَاطِۚ)
"nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle".
[Al-A'raf:40]

(وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِى بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى مَكَانٍ سَحِيقٍ)
"And he who associates with Allah -  it is as though he had fallen from the sky and was snatched by the birds or the wind carried him down into a remote place".
[Al-Hajj:31]

(إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِۦ)
"Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him in worship"
[An-Nisaa:48]

(وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلْإِيمَٰنِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُۥ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ)
"And whoever disbelieves in faith -  his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers".
[Al-Ma'idah:5]

Until other than this of verses". .

And turning away from learning Tawheed -by unanimous agreement of the Ummah- can take place from an ignorant individual, or someone with misinterpretation, or a blind follower, and the likes of them, as stated by Shaykh-Ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah and the Allaamah Aba Butayn, may Allah have mercy upon him:

The Allaamah Abdullah Aba Butayn, may Allah have mercy upon him, said in (p.62): "And he may Allah have mercy upon him asserted [i.e Shaykh-Ul-Islaam] in many places, the disbelief of those who commit what he mentioned of the types of Shirk, and he relayed the unanimous agreement of the Muslims on this, and he didn't make an exception for the ignorant and their likes. And the most high said:

(إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِۦ)
"Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him in worship"
[An-Nisaa:48]

And He said that the Maseeh said:

(إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ)
"Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire".
[Al-Ma'idah:72]". End of speech.

So disbelief with Ahlussunnah could be a statement or an action or a belief or leaving something or doubt.

And from the scenarios of disbelief through leaving is turning away from Tawheed.

Imam Ibn-Ul-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: "...punishment is deserved through two reasons. One of them: Turning away from the evidence and not wanting it and not acting upon what it necessitates. The second: Stubbornness after it has been established and leaving wanting what it necessitates. The first is disbelief of turning away, and the second is disbelief of stubbornness". (p.414).

And this is the condition of the grave worshippers which live amongst the Muslims and attribute to Islam whilst they are committing the greatest of nullifiers of Islam and its opposite.

The Allaamah, Abdurrahman bin Naasir Al-Si'di, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: "Said regarding the explanation of the statement of the most high:

(بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّۖ)
"But most of them do not know the truth".
[Al-Anbiya:24]

"I.e: they only did what they were upon, out of blindfollowing of their predecessors, arguing without knowledge nor guidance, and the lack of their knowledge isn't due it being obscured and hidden, but it due to them turning away from it, because if they were to turn to it with the least amount of turning, the truth would've become clear from the falsehood to them, with clear manifestation, for this reason He said:

(فَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ)
"so they are turning away".
[Al-Anbiya:24]. End of speech from .

1. That the Imams of the Da'wah in the Kingdom, and at the forefront of them:

▪️The Imam, the Mujadid, Muhammad bin Abdulwahaab, may Allah have mercy upon him, as he ruled upon those that worship the grave of Al-Badawi in Egypt of being disbelievers and Mushriks, upon the outward of their affair, and that this is his ruling upon all that worship other than Allah, without restriction. And with the permission of Allah we will relay his speech in this at the fifth point from the twelfth subject matter.

▪️What will also come (p.71) is the speech of the second Mujadid after his grandfather: The Imam Abdurrahman bin Hassan, may Allah have mercy upon him, and his ruling upon those that veneration occurs towards the dead and the worshipping of them in Egypt and Shaam and Iraq, that they Mushriks.

▪️Similarly the speech of Imam Abdulazeez bin Baaz, may Allah have mercy upon him, as found in (1/241).

So will they be Takfeeris! Oppressors! For making Takfeer of people that are Muslims who pray and make Hajj - as is the claim of those that have this doubt - and they called them Mushriks whilst they are in other countries than their own which was specified in the evidences being established to the exclusion to others!!

Will they be upon misguidance due to opposing the way of the believers which the person of this claim came to know, whilst they didn't know this.
Or are infact they who are the pretenders of knowledge who are transgressing against the Imams and their rulings which is built upon evidences and what the Salaf established.

(فَأَىُّ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِٱلْأَمْنِۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ)
"So which of the two parties has more right to security, if you should know?".
[Al-An'am:81]

And there is no doubt that he's more deserving to be labelled with oppression and ignorance and opposing the way of the believers, I ask Allah for well-being.

1. That the people of knowledge have unanimously agreed upon that from the nullifiers of the Islam is:

Turning away from learning the foundation of the religion which is Tawheed, turning away from leaving what opposes Tawheed and this is Shirk.

As mentioned by Imam Muhammad bin Abdulwahaab in his book "The nullifiers of Islam" which he only relayed therein what the scholars unanimously agreed upon, and the greatest of nullifiers of Islam is: Major Shirk.

And what's intended with nullification is, those who testify and pray and fast and manifest Islam, then what is at the forefront of what nullifies their Islam is them committing Major Shirk.

For this reason Imam Ibn Baaz, and the scholars of the standing committee, may Allah have mercy upon them all, as preceded stated: "All that believe in the message of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and everything else what has come in the legislation, if after this they were to prostrate to other than Allah; a wali or someone in a grave, or a Shaykh of a Tariqa, they are considered to be disbelievers, apostated from Islam, a Mushrik making Shirk with other than Allah in worship, even if they uttered the Shahadatayn whilst prostrating, due to perpetrating what nullifies their statement in their prostration to other than Allah". End of speech.

Let the extent of flailing be known of those that claim that those that are ruled to being Mushriks and Disbelievers, and called as such, are only those that are originally Disbelievers and Mushriks!!

And that those that manifest Islam do not have the title Islam removed -with this person- even if they commit Major Shirk until the evidences are established upon them!! Whilst this is removing Major Shirk from being a nullifier, and drawing the curtains on the nullifiers of Islam!!
