The Ruling on the Prayer of the Traveler and the Blind Person with the Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes, yes.
The presenter:
No, but may Allah bless you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
O Shaykh, may Allah bless you. The hadith in which the woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I am exposed," and he said, "If you wish, I will supplicate to Allah for you, and if you wish, you will be patient and you will have Paradise." Does this not indicate that if she is patient, she has a reward, and if Allah answers the supplication and removes the affliction from her, that is sufficient for her and she has no reward?
The Shaykh:
It does not apply to taking medicine. Taking medicine, patience, and seeking reward do not apply to taking medicine. It does not apply to this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for her, and she was patient (may Allah be pleased with her and have mercy on her). He supplicated for her that the affliction not be removed. This is what is indicated by the many proofs pointing to the legitimacy of means.
The presenter:
The hadith does not say this either, that she has no reward, but rather it is the supplication of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
If you wish, be pleased and you will have Paradise. A poem greater than that of the people.
The presenter:
No, or at, or slaughter
The Shaykh:
If you wish, be patient and you will have Paradise. I supplicated for you. And if you were patient, you would have Paradise. She said, her satisfaction is that it not be broken. So he supplicated for her that it not be broken. Um, um.
The presenter:
He sold from the most afflicted of people, the best and the best, so the best.
The Shaykh:
Welcome, yes.
The questioner:
He traveled to his country and stayed there for three days. Is it permissible for him to interpret? And regarding the adhan?
The Shaykh:
No, he does not pray alone. He prays with the people. One does not pray alone. He prays with the people, whether he is a traveler or not. And if he prays with the people, his matter is completed. He does not pray alone.
The presenter:
Mm-hmm.
The questioner:
Shaykh, may Allah bless you. An old man who is not blind, he is blind, and he has no guide, meaning there is no guide with him to lead him to the mosque. So he prays at home.
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he pray with the people. It appears that the Muslims, if Allah wills, will agree with his neighbors and guide him.
Yes, yes.
The presenter:
No, but may Allah bless you, O Shaykh.

Yes.
