sleeping on the stomach

Sometimes I find it hard to take from Tablighi youngsters as they they have no daleel. Where as you have the trained Salafi, who all they talk bout is Daleels.

A quote from The Greatness of Knowledge and Ulama by Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb


[quote] Now the situation is such that everyone is a mufti. Muftis of this type are for muft (free), they do not possess knowledge. A Had�th states:

أَجْرَأُكُمْ عَلَى الْفُتْيَا أَجْرَأُكُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ

(سنن الدارمي، ج: 1، باب الفتيا وما فيه من الشدة)


"The person who is audacious in issuing fatw� is audacious to enter the Hell-fire."

Such "free" muftis express their views on every issue and say: "This is my view on this issue." Today, even a person pushing a wheel-cart will say: "This is my view on this issue." Ask these who are intellectually blind if a "view" is acceptable in Islam? Is Islam something which is based on views? 'All�mah Sh�m� rahimahull�h states in his book of jurisprudence, Kit�b ash-Sh�m�, that Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) said that the person who is very audacious in giving a ruling without investigation is very audacious in entering Hell. You should first consult books, if you do not understand, go and consult your teachers and qualified 'ulam�'. Go to them like a beggar, not like a person who is going to make objections. Ask them in a respectful manner: "Hazrat, I have a question to ask." Ask them as though you are a student. It is essential for the masses to reduce themselves like students when they ask the 'ulam�'.
