Question
Some Tabligh brothers discourage us from performing Awwaabeen Salaat when they are giving a bayaan. A Tablighi Aalim said that the reward of listening to the bayaan is better than a thousand raka'ts Salaat. Is this correct?
Answer
Relative to Salaatul Awwaabeen the 'aalim' spoke drivel. Awwaabeen is a Sunnah practice which has preference over the bayaan. There is no obligation to join in the Tabligh Jamaat's bayaan. This attitude is ghulu'– haraam excess which leads to bid'ah.
