The ruling on one who says shirk (associating partners with Allah) phrases during tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We hear from some pilgrims during tawaf, we hear from them some shirk phrases. For example, “Al-Maddad” (O Help), “Ya Rasool Allah” (O Messenger of Allah), and others. Are they disbelievers or Jews?
The Shaykh:
You know.
The questioner:
Due to ignorance in that matter.
The Shaykh:
It is explained to him. It is possible he is ignorant and does not know, or he hears people, or he is told this speech because they have with them misguided rituals in which shirk is taught, and may Allah protect us from that. So he is considered ignorant, and it is explained to him. If he persists and does not accept, then he is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah).
