A girls madrasah has organized durood competitions.

Question

A girls madrasah has organized durood competitions. Prizes are handed to the girls for their abundant recitation of durood. Are these competitions permissible?

Answer

The 'durood' competition is among the worst of Kabeerah sins. It comes in the Hadith regarding the signs of Qiyaamah: "The dunya will be searched with the amal of the Aakhirah."

Durood Shareef is among the great acts of ibaadat. It is an amal purely for the Aakhirah. It is a personal amal to be executed in privacy. The shaitaani management of the madrasah has converted this amal of the Aakhirah into a worldly and a nafsaani objective. Just imagine the spiritual rot in these people. They dangle worldly carrion bait in front of children, making a mockery of ibaadat.

The huffaaz of the dunya who also sell their Imaan, have the money as an incentive to perform Taraaweeh. They recite the Qur'aan Majeed for the sake of the money, and so do the fussaaq qaaris recite the Qur'aan Majeed for money. These competitions are HARAAM.
