The Ruling on Competitions for Memorizing Hadiths
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. That is the last question, if Allah wills. What is the ruling, Shaykh, on holding a competition, for example, for memorizing the Forty Nawawi Hadiths, where we say that whoever memorizes them gets, for example, twenty cassettes of Shaykh Al-Albani? Is that permissible?
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : It is not permissible. No. May Allah bless you, Shaykh, and lengthen your life.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : It is not permissible. No. May Allah bless you, Shaykh, and lengthen your life.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
