The Ruling on Saying: “O Allah, make this gathering of ours a blessed gathering, and our parting thereafter a protected parting” – Salih
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the one who says, “O Allah, make this gathering of ours a blessed gathering, and our parting thereafter a protected parting”?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; it is good. “Make our gathering a blessed gathering” means that mercy descends upon all of them, upon all those gathered for obedience and worship, for gathering in obedience is a cause for mercy. As for “our parting thereafter,” there is no evidence for saying this; some imams say it, but there is no reason for it and it was not transmitted. “Our parting is a protected parting” — people differ in opinions, they differ in deriving rulings and evidence, and they separate physically after the gathering, so they are in need of protection, in need of protection from error. Yes.
