:sl: brothers and sisters!

ever since i was little i have been told and have been kissing my thumbs and touching my eyes whenever the prophet name is said or recited.
u will see this mostly with the adhaan when they say ash haa du anna muhamadurasuullulaa..

is there any hadith for this? i have asked my parents but they get upset about it etc saying im turnin into a ****** LOOOL!!! may allah bless my parents..

another thing is is about jumraat (thursday evening), yes i made a thread about this before but what i want to know is, when i meant by praying on thursday evening i meant as in cooking food on thursday evening and reading dua over it etc!
my mum use to cook halwa or kheer and then my dad use 2 read dua.
is this wrong? i myself have stopped doing it as i think myself this is wrong as you are singling out this day.

while we are on the subject on jumraat may i also ask one last question and that is about khatam..
my grandparents have passed away and every year my family calls the imam and he does a dua for them etc!
is this also allowed?

why not post more than one mazhabs view on this or any other matter? if all four are correct then you've just "proved" that Shafi'is are innovators, by quoting just from *W* sect

after all this is supposed to be an Islamic forum (inclusive of 4 mazahib) not just an Islamqa mouthpiece!

salaam

good point but most people dont actually bother with the 4 madhabs opnions. These days, pity realy.

peace,
 
In his book Dua:The Weapon of the Believer, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi states that this is an innovation.
 
Have you read them akhi
Sh. Uthaymeen Fataawa (i.e, rulings/verdicts) are based on the Manhaj of Ahlu Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah which is evidenced from Qur'an and Sunnah. He has about fifty compilations to his credit.

^^ so where does that leave the mantra of "all 4 mazahib are equally correct"?

Doorsters do you think it is right to label this great scholars such as shaikh Uthaymeen, shaykh bin Baaz raheemahullah, shaykh Al-Albaani raheemahullah wahbis is ok akhi? what does wahbis mean Akhi we must follow the evidence and give it priority over the views of all people.
 
if you think they are infallible, then are you not on the verge of man-worship?

P.S. have you any knowledge of Islamic history in general and founding of Saudi Arabia in particular?

no akhi they are not infallible all sons of adam sin and are not perfect but they are respected scholars and the scholars of this ummah and a Muslim is obliged to accept the teachings of Islam, and act upon them. When he hears of some word or deed which is based on evidence (daleel) from the Qur’aan or Sunnah,
and this scholars bring that yes there are some fatwas others dont agree one but who are you to call them wahbi who are you to talk bad about this great scholars? May Allah forgive us Ameen'

if the prophet didnt do it or the rightly-guided successors (al-khulafa’ al-raashidoon) then it shouldnt be done i havent seen or heard that we should kiss on our thumb and wipe it on their eye and to make a day a special day that is a bidah the prophet said in his last sermon i have completed your deen

the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who said:

“I urge you to adhere to my way (Sunnah) and the way of the rightly-guided successors (al-khulafa’ al-raashidoon) who come after me. Hold fast to it and bite onto it with your eyeteeth [i.e., cling firmly to it], and beware of newly-invented matters.”
Allah Knows best

lol on topic:blind:

i never thought there would be a day i would bring a thread on topic :D but hooray

basically bro hussain, it is a innovation, the whole story evolves from a narration which many a scholar, have said is a weak narration and even if it was a strong narration it was only for that time and scenario, what happen was Hadhrat Abu Bakr (ra) saw the Prophet (Saw) reflection in his thumbnails, and he kissed them, because he saw the Prophet (saw) reflection in them,

NOW in todays time, we unfortunately dont see the Prophet (saw) let alone his reflection, so kissin the thumbs now is pointless, and also they kiss their thumbs when they hear "Ashadu ana muhammadur rasoolAllah" in the adhaan, which has got nothin to do with anythin, its not narrated that any sahabi kissed their thumbs after they heard the Prophets (Saw) name so why should we do it:D

thats me two cents

the book or something they said in the book is innovation

Sheikh Yasir Qadhi wrote a book called Dua:The Weapon of the believer. In this book, he informs us that kissing of thumbs is an innovation and its basis is a fabricated hadith with an Isnad full of unknown names narrating on the authority of Khidr (who lived thousands of years before the time of Muhammad!). :)

I haven't visited your link, so maybe it says the same thing.

Do the 'Ulema tell us that all 4 Madhabib are always equally correct? I'm not sure about that - please clarify Inshaa'Allah.

I just want to mention that Imaam As-Shaafi'ee said:
My opinion is correct with the possibility of being wrong and the opinion of my opponents are wrong with the possibility of being correct.
​
I think that's a very healthy attitude for us all to have Inshaa'Allah. :)

I believe one of the Madhabib also told us that, if we found anything they said to be in contradiction with the Qur'an or Sunnah, then we should leave what they have said. I can't remember which one it was who said this.

:w:
