Exaggeration in describing officials and distributing dates at the Eid prayer ground
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Inform us. This writer says that one of the female writers in a local newspaper says in her article about the officials that they do not give Allah what He has commanded, so they do what causes harm. Is this correct? And what is your advice to your friend regarding this?
Answer:
This is exaggeration. This is describing the angels. Allah described the angels and the created beings, the children of Adam, with this description. This is part of the exaggeration of hypocrisy and flattery. There is a difference between the one who distributes al-Kahf in the mosque before the Eid al-Fitr prayer and the one who distributes food to the worshippers? By Allah, this is a matter of exposure, a matter of exposure, a thing distributed in the Eid prayer ground. What is reported is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat dates before he went out. This is what is reported in the Sunnah. It is not reported in the Sunnah that there is a custom of dates in the mosques or in the Eid prayer grounds. Yes, and we do not go beyond what is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, so whoever wants to seek fame, let the preachers eat a sheep before their Eid. If he wants to follow the Sunnah on the day of Eid al-Fitr, let him eat dates before he leaves his house, following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
