Resolution No.(134) (14/2009): "Ruling on the Second Sa`y in Hajj-at-Tamattu"

 

Date: 30/12/1430 AH, correspondng to 17/12/2009 AD

 

 

All perfect praise be to Allah. Blessings and peace be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon his family and companions.

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed, in its fifth session held on (30/12/1430 A.H)-(17/12/2009 A.D), the question concerning the Islamic ruling on offering  the  second Sa`y, after Tawaaf Al-Ifadaah, by the pilgrims who are performing the Tamattu type of Hajj.

After careful study and deliberation, the Board determined the following: 

In principle, a pilgrim performing the Hajj of Tamattu must assume the Ihraam of Umrah first and perform all its pillars and obligations such as: Tawaaf (circling the Kabbah), Sa`y, shaving hair, or shortening it , then get into  the state of  Tahallul (freedom to take off the Ihraam or leave it). After that, he must assume the Ihraam again for Hajj, and perform all its pillars and obligations such as Tawaaf, Sa`y and else since Hajj and Umrah are two independent acts of worship which can`t make up for each other. Allah, The Exalted, Says in the Holy Quran (What means): “And complete the Hajj or ’Umra in the service of God." {Al-Baqarqh/196}. Therefore, the Sa`y which he offered during Umrah doesn`t compensate for the Sa`y of Hajj since each act of worship must include a Sa`y of its own.

The above is the opinion of the four juristic schools: the Hanafites, the Malikites, the Shafites, and it is the preponderant opinion of the Hanbalites. In the Harams of Mecca and Medinah, Fatwaas are delivered in line with this opinion based on what the Prophet`s companions, who performed the Hajj of Tamattu, did at his time. He (PBUH) said (what means): “Make the intention of assuming Ihraam for Umrah first, and perform all its pillars and obligations, then get out of the state of Ihram. Afterwards, assume the Ihraam again for Hajj and perform all its pillars and obligations. “{Bukhari}. Allah, The Almighty, Said in this regard (What means): “He must make an offering, such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, He should fast three days during the hajj and seven days on his return." {Al-Baqarah/196}.

It is incumbent on every Muslim to follow what has been confirmed in the authentic Sunnah and applied by the Muslim jurists because it is more cautious in performing acts of worship such as Hajj since a Muslim sacrifices the most precious to perform this great act. Therefore, he needs not risk his Hajj and violate the followed opinions of the Muslim jurists. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the expiation for perjury?

One who commits perjury should repent, seek Allah`s forgiveness and offer an expiation which is: feeding ten indigent persons, or clothing them, or giving a slave his freedom, but if that is beyond his means then, he should fast for three days. Allah, The Almighty, Says in this regard (What means): "Allah will not call you to account for what is futile in your oaths, but He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths: for expiation, feed ten indigent persons, on a scale of the average for the food of your families; or clothe them; or give a slave his freedom. If that is beyond your means, fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths ye have sworn. But keep to your oaths. Thus doth Allah make clear to you His signs, that ye may be grateful." [Al-Ma`idah/89].

Does excessive sleep during Ramadan invalidate fasting?

Sleeping a lot in Ramadan does not invalidate the fast, but a Muslim may miss out on great rewards from prayer, Quran recitation, and acts of worship due to excessive sleep.

What is the ruling on combining (jam‘) and shortening (qaṣr) prayers when travel is repeated on a daily basis?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
A traveler is permitted to avail himself of the concessions of shortening and combining prayers once the distance of his journey reaches (81 km) or more. This is on condition that his journey is a permissible one, and that he begins shortening and combining only after setting out and passing beyond the built-up limits of the city in which he resides, or beyond the administrative boundaries of the area where he lives.
Accordingly, if the distance between one's workplace and one's place of residence reaches the distance upon which the concession of combining and shortening depends, then combining and shortening are permissible once he leaves the built-up area, even if this travel is repeated on a daily basis.
Ash-Shirbīnī (raḥimahullāh) said: "It is permissible to combine Ẓuhr and ‘Aṣr, either as an early combination (taqdīm) in the time of the first, or as a delayed combination (ta'khīr) in the time of the second; and likewise Maghrib and ‘Ishā' — either early, in the time of the first, or delayed, in the time of the second — during a long, permissible journey, in following [the Prophet's practice]. As for the delayed combination, it is established in the two Ṣaḥīḥs from the ḥadīth of Anas and Ibn ‘Umar (raḍiyallāhu ‘anhum). As for the early combination, Ibn Ḥibbān and al-Bayhaqī graded it ṣaḥīḥ from the ḥadīth of Mu‘ādh, and at-Tirmidhī graded it ḥasan." [Quoted with slight abridgment from Mughnī al-Muḥtāj, Vol.1/p.529]
The conditions for combining and shortening have already been explained in Fatwa No. 14 and Fatwa No. 842. And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.

How should I deal with the whispers of the devil with regard to ablution and purity?

Whispers in ablution are from the devil, and so you should take refuge in Allah from the devil`s evil suggestions that aim to distort the religion. Thus, once an organ is completely pure, don`t question its purity since having whispers doesn`t mean that the purity is invalid as it has already been established.
