The ruling on sitting in the mosque after Fajr and the virtue of moving to seek knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon His servant and Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The questioner:
We present these questions to the Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan. This questioner says, Honorable Shaykh, it is saidMishkat al-Masabih 971 that Allah has a house for him in Paradise. Is there an authentic hadith regarding this? And if he moves to a second mosque to attend a lesson or the like, does he receive this virtue?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is mentioned in a hadith that whoeverMusnad Ahmad 1219Hasan because of corroborating evidence] (Darussalam) prays Fajr and remembers Allah the Exalted and Majestic until the sun rises, then prays two rak'ahs, is written for him the reward of Hajj and 'Umrah. The hadith is not strong. Or, whoever does that, this is a righteous deed and the reward returns to him.
As for moving to another mosque to listen to a lesson, this is good and another righteous deed, different from the deed for which he sits in his prayer place. This deed may be better than his sitting in his prayer place. If he goes to seek knowledge and attend the lesson, this is better than his sitting in his prayer place, and he has the reward of seeking knowledge.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon His servant and Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
