Aslam o alaikum, I'm a student and I pray duhur in my university timings.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu 'alaykumwarahmatullāhiw barakātuh. If your teacher does not facilitate for you to perform salaah in congregation, you will be excused to perform salaah by yourself after the classes." (End of fatwa)

I always understood that if one wishes to meet Allah as a Muslim on the Day of Judgement as a Muslim he should perform Salah in the Masjid and according to certain Sahabah (Radiallahu Anhum) Salah without Jamaat is no Salah at all. In addition, Salah with Jamaat can only be missed if there is a valid excuse such as fear or illness.

How then can the Mufti lower the standard and assert publicly that it is permissible to perform Salah individually to acquire dunya knowledge in the den of zina, i.e. a university. Please clarify if this is a baatil view or not.

ANSWER Muslims have made the Deen subservient to the dunya, and even subservient to haraam worldly pursuits. The Deen has become a hobby and a secondary activity which Muslims have made the handmaid of secular and material objectives. That is precisely why Allah Ta'ala has imposed kuffaar domination on the Ummah.

In the eyes of even the Ulama who are supposed to be the Heirs and Representatives of Rasulullah ( s a l l a l l a h u a l a y h i wasallam), Salaat is of secondary or even lesser importance. This is tantamount to Istikhfaaf with the Deen, and this is an act of kufr. The Muftis of today lack the ability to apply their minds constructively to uphold the Deen. They generally seek baseless loopholes and produce untenable arguments to ensure that the Deen remains subservient to worldly objectives.

Can you imagine the Sahabah abandoning Jamaat Salaat for secular studies imparted in a haraam university in a haraam immoral environment which is rife with zina?

The one who professes to be a Muslim yet accepts to forgo Jamaat Salaat on the instruction of a faasiq/ faajir secular teacher should examine his Imaan. The Mufti who has issued the haraam fatwa is a moron to say the least. He treats the Deen lightly, yet he is supposed to be aware that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"This dunya has been created for you, and you have been created for the Aakhirat."

In this temporary worldly abode of trial and misery, there will always be conflicts between the Deen and the Dunya. This world is the arena for the conflict between Haqq and baatil. The Mu'min is supposed to shun and abandon baatil without batting an eyelid. He does not require a fatwa, especially the type of fatwas issued by today's maajin (moron) muftis to understand Haqq and b a a t i l . R a s u l u l l a h ( S a l l a l l a h u a l a y h i wasallam) said: "Seek a fatwa from your heart." Now the heart of a sincere Muslim rebels against a rendition of the Deen to make it subservient to the dunya. How can a genuine Mufti ever advise Muslim students at a haraam institution to forgo Jamaat Salaat. The correct answer / fatwa is: Confound the teacher! Confound the educational brothel! Disobey the shaitaani teacher and perform Salaat with Jamaat, and abandon the university.

Zulfiqar's haraam shenanigans

According to the Hadith of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), among the Signs of Qiyaamah is the pursuit of the dunya with the amal of the Deen. To gain worldly and nafsaani objectives, an outer deeni veneer will be presented. The following is an 'i'tikaaf' form of peer Zulfiqar which those desiring to participate in his mass i'tikaaf merrymaking function have to submit:

The English translations of the silly questions and requisites of this stupid nafsaani form have been inserted by The Majlis.

This is indeed an ugly i'tikaaf function which requires such a stupid form with a conglomeration of corrupt requisites. What relevance has secular education with I'tikaaf, and what relevance do all these silly questions have with the ibaadat of I'tikaaf?

This deviate peer has commercialized I'tikaaf and has made it a worldly act for merrymaking and nafsaaniyat. Whilst I'tikaaf is an ibaadat of seclusion to solidify the bond with Allah Ta'ala, this deviate peer for nafsaani motives has ruined and bedevilled this wonderful Ibaadat designed for spiritual enlightenment and gaining greater proximity with Allah Ta'ala. What relationship is there between all these ludicrous commercial and secular conditions and the lofty Ibaadat of I'tikaaf? Will any of the Sahaabah pass the satanic test of this deviate's i'tikaaf form? As far as Ameerul Mu'mineen Hadhrat Umar Ibn Khattaab (Radhiyallahu anhu) is concerned, his only secular qualification is that of a shepherd.

The Saudi regime has bedevilled the Ibaadat of Hajj and Umrah with commercialisation. The Carrion certifiers have commercialised the term 'halaal'. The munaafiq qaaris have commercialized the Qur'aan Majeed with their qiraa't competitions. Other entities too have commercialized various aspects of the Deen. Now this deviate peer has commercialised I'tikaaf. All of them are signs of Qiyaamah in terms of the Hadith.

This peer fellow has been booted out of Zimbabwe and banned by even the moderate and liberal ulama of South Africa. His shenanigans are too brazenly haraam for even the palates of the liberal molvis. He is now arranging his mass i'tikaaf in his home place in Pakistan.

Rasulullah

(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "For many a fasting person, the fast is only hunger." Hadhrat Khwaajah Muzaffar Kohistani (Rahmatullah alayh) said: "The primary fasting is that of the Soul and the Heart, i.e. to focus these two entities on the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala. Second is the fasting of the Aql (the mind), i.e. not to indulge in any act in conflict with intelligence. Third, is the fasting of Nafs-e- Ammaarah (the nafs which commands evil), i.e. to combat this nafs in food, drink and desires."

R a s u l u l l a h (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Saum (Fasting) is half of Sabr, and Sabr is half of Imaan."
