Question : What should a Muslim do if he wants to go out to the prayer ground, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer : It is recommended for a person on the night of the festival to recite the takbir. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:185] So he says: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. He does this aloud in the markets, mosques, and homes. As for the woman, she does so quietly. He goes out to the festival reciting the takbir as mentioned, and it is recommended that he go out looking presentable and wearing perfume, wearing his best clothes. He should beware of forbidden clothing, such as wearing gold rings or wearing silk. The questioner says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man with a gold ring on his hand, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took it off him and threw it away, saying: "Would one of you take a piece of fire and put it in his hand?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away, and it was said to the man, "Take your ring and benefit from it." He said, "By Allah, I will not take a ring that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) threw away, or he said, 'threw away.'" It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Musnad Ahmad 365Sahih hadeeth] (Darussalam) It is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) that he threatened those who let their garments hang below the ankles, saying: "Whatever is let down below the ankles is in the Fire." This indicates that letting the garment hang below the ankles is among the major sins. A person should be grateful for Allah’s blessing upon him in what He has made easy for him in clothing, and not make it a means to disobey Allah, thereby losing in his religion and his worldly life. Among the things done in this prayer is that the imam strives to make supplication, supplicating for the Muslims with what brings them happiness in this world and the Hereafter. Umm Atiyyah said: "We were ordered to go out, meaning the women, the young girls and those who stay in their rooms, to witness the good and the supplication of the Muslims." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the menstruating women to stay away from the prayer ground, in a prayer ground between... Thank you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit the Muslims with you.
