The Book of the Learned Imam's Will
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 18983 )
Q: I have a book titled: ( The Will of the Learned Imam ) which narrates
the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): ( Abu Hurayrah - The Numerical Prayers and the Supplication of the Night of the Middle of Sha'ban and ( The Party of Seeking Nearness ) by Imam al-Shadhili ). It contains nonsense and illogical things, and I want your opinion on it. May Allah reward you with all good.
A: Nothing is established regarding the Supplication of the Night of the Middle of Sha'ban, and worshipping through it and seeking nearness to Allah through al-Shadhili - all of that is among the religious innovations and newly invented matters in the religion that are not permissible to believe in or to call people to. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
