In some Musajid, the imaam has a bayaan or tafseer programme immediately after the Fardh Salaat.

Question

In some Musajid, the imaam has a bayaan or tafseer programme immediately after the Fardh Salaat. Many musallis feel prevented from engaging in Sunnat and Nafl Salaat after the Fardh. The custom prevails on them to sit and listen to the talk. Please comment.

Answer

The practice of having ta'leem immediately after Fardh thus delaying the Sunnatul Muakkadah, is another bid'ah. Musallis are under no obligation to sit and listen to the talk. After Fardh, they should become involved with their Sunnat and Nafl Salaat. So-called learned people are introducing one bid'ah after the other. It is indeed quite lamentable to observe that while the Ahl-e-Barelwi have put a hold on their bid'ah practices, that is, they do not create new ones, rather they adhere to their meelaad, urs, etc. our own molvis of Deoband are today in the forefront introducing one bid'ah after another. They are beginning to surpass the Barelwis in the profession of bid'ah.
