Ruling on spreading a vision calling on the people of the Gulf to recite Surat al-An'am
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: The questioner stated that in recent times, the spread of certain messages via mobile phones has increased. Among these is the message that we will unify our supplication against the enemies at dawn today. It also says that there is a good vision calling on the people of the Gulf. Huh? And Allah, he has left. Thank you. A good vision, a good vision. Yes. It calls on the people of the Gulf to recite Surat al-An'am tonight, and the question is: Is it permissible to believe in and spread such words?
Answer:
No, this must be removed and denied; because it is a bid'ah (religious innovation), meaning this is among the innovations, and the innovators promote innovations by any means. It has become widespread among the people, and they have started spreading innovations in them, so beware of them and warn people against this. No rulings are prescribed based on a vision; no rulings are prescribed based on a vision, such as saying "it is recommended to do such and such" based on the vision that was seen, or "it is obligatory to do such and such," or "do such and such." There is no legislation after the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); legislation ended after the death of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So whoever comes and tells people, "Do such and such, I saw such and such, do such and such on such and such a day, recite such and such a surah," this is from the seven innovations. The hardship is present, it seems that agreement is not needed. Supplication: every Muslim supplicates, it does not require agreement, every Muslim supplicates according to what is easy for him.
