My bother just had an operation and his situation is critical. So,
what my mom decided to do is perform khatam shifa which is basically
saying ya salaamu 12500 times, reading some dua, reading Surah Yaseen
and Surah Ar-Rahman 40 timeseach, feeding the poor andgiving away
goats. Is is something from our Rasul Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam.
Another question is regarding the mosques in Bangladesh. They do a lot
of bidah that includes asking wasillah, teaching acts mentioned above,
celebrate milad in nabi and I can keep going on for ages. Is it
permissible to pray behind those imams who teaches such things?
Sometimes, when I try to talk to them, whether they get angry and they
do not reason and give sahih daleel to their arguments. They always
say that some alims taught them and they are better than us and we
should follow them without question. We are facing this diellma to
either be quiet and allow them to follow what they will.
Sometimes it ends in quarrel and at times ruins
relationships/friendship.... because as much as we trythey always say
that the alim is far better and knows what he is preaching.
Finally, what should I do to explain my family and friends?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
With regard to what is called "khatam shifa", it is an innovation
(bid'ah). TheProphet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"The worst of matters are those which are newly invented (in
religion). Every newly invented matter is an innovation, every
innovation is a going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire."
With regard to these soorahs and adhkaar (dhikrs) that are mentioned
in the question, this is somethingfor which there is no evidence
(daleel), and it is not permissible to do these things for which there
is no evidence in theBook of our Lord or the Sunnah of our Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
What is prescribed in our religion is to offer supplication (du'aa')
for the sick person and to ask Allah to heal him and purify him. That
will have the greatest impact in taking away the disease and bringing
about rapid healing. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be
pleased with him)that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: "Whoever visits a sick person whose time (of death)
has not yet come, and says to him seven times 'As'al Allah al-'Azeem
Rabb al-'Arsh al-'Azeem an yashfeeyaka (I ask Allah the Almighty, Lord
of the Mighty Throne,to heal you)', Allah will heal him of that
sickness."
Narrated by Ahmad (2137), Abu Dawood (3106) and at-Tirmidhi (2083);
classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
So you should offer supplication (du'aa') for him in the wording
mentioned in this hadeethand other saheeh hadeeths.
The same applies to givingcharity. There is no doubt that spending for
the sake of Allah is something that brings good. It was narrated from
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that theProphet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "There is no dayon
which people wake up, but two angels come down and one of them says:
'O Allaah, give more to the one who spends,' and the other says, 'O
Allaah, send destruction upon the one who withholds.'"
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1442) and Muslim (1010).
So spend and give charity, and be optimistic about compensation from
Allah, may He be glorified.
Secondly:
With regard to praying behind an innovator, Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn
Taymiyah] said in Majmoo'al-Fataawa (23/355):
With regard to praying behind an innovator, this is a matter
concerning which there is a difference of opinion and it is subjectto
further discussion. If you cannot find any other imam apart from him,
such as in the case of Jumu'ah prayer which is only held in one place,
or Eid prayer, or prayers during Hajj behind the imam who is in charge
of Hajj, these prayers are to be offered behind anyone, whether he is
righteous orotherwise, according to the consensus of Ahl as-Sunnah
wa'l-Jamaa'ah. Rather the ones who refrain from offering theseprayers
behind the imams are the followers of innovations such as the Raafidis
and others like them, who do not attend any Jumu'ah prayer or prayer
in congregation. If there is only one mosque in the village, then
prayingin congregation behind animmoral person is better than praying
on one's ownat home, lest that lead to giving up prayer in
congregation altogether. But if it is possible to pray behind someone
other than the innovator, that is undoubtedly better and preferable.
But if he prays behind him, there is a scholarly difference of opinion
concerning his prayer.
