Question:
Give it to me, the beautiful one. The first question is: What is the meaning ofSunan Ibn Majah 279Da'if (Darussalam)? This is the first question. All right.
The second question is a continuation of the Shaykh’s (may Allah preserve him) words, citing Allah the Exalted:[Ali 'Imran 3:103]. Explain to us the interpretation of this verse in an age where disagreement has increased and trials have appeared. This is the second question. All right. The third question: May Allah prolong your life. What are the factors that help one remain steadfast in the religion in our present time, amidst the trials that surge through the Muslim community? May Allah protect you. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. May Allah bless you. May Allah bless you, O Professor Abdullah. The first question of the brothers is: What is the meaning of Sunan Ibn Majah 279Da'if (Darussalam)?
Answer:
Yes, only a believer maintains the proper performance of the ablution, its completion, and its perfection. This is among the characteristics of the believers: caring for the ablution, performing it properly, completing it, having a sound intention, and recognizing that it is the key to the prayer. Purification is the key to the prayer; the prayer is not valid without purification, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 60Sahih (Al-Albani)
