The Form of the Basmala in Wudu and Giving Precedence to the Right
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad. Is it not true that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is called upon to give precedence to knowledge with a noble verse?
The Shaykh:
And the beneficial one. What was the lesson? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the precedence of the fetus. This passed us by in this lesson. Hmm? In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Put the papers away. What is the question?
The questioner:
Is it not true that the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is specific to knowledge with this word?
The Shaykh:
It is not specific as an explainer of the noble verse. It is not specific in the sense that the verse is general and the hadith specifies the generality. There is a contradiction between the verse and the hadith until it specifies. Rather, it is said to be an explainer of the verse. It is not from the category of recommendation. Giving precedence to the right is from the category of recommendation, as evidenced by his saying, "It pleased him." It pleased him. The hadith of Aisha: "He would give precedence to the right in his purification." His saying "it pleased him" is evidence of recommendation. Yes.
The questioner:
The Shaykh said: Allah. Did she say the Basmala? In the name of Allah. The saying of Allah.
The Shaykh:
"In the name of Allah" is sufficient, and if he says "the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," there is no harm. But if he restricts it to "In the name of Allah," it is sufficient. Hmm? There is no preference; all is permissible. And although the apparent text indicates that he says only "In the name of Allah." Because they said regarding the slaughtered animal, what is said at the time of slaughter is not "the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," but rather only "In the name of Allah." Because the place of slaughter and ritual slaughter is not a place of mercy, so it is not said. At the time of slaughter, "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," but rather only "In the name of Allah."
The questioner:
Or standing. So that it is said from above in the text.
The Shaykh:
The text does not have a text that specifies. So if he says "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" at the beginning of wudu, there is no harm. And if he restricts it to "In the name of Allah," this is what is sufficient. There is no objection to mentioning "the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" here, unlike the takbir (proclaiming the greatness of Allah) in zakat, where there is an objection, and that is that the place is not a place of mercy. Yes.
The questioner:
Our father in something, and I mentioned that he was truthful from the great of the Tabi'un.
The Shaykh:
It is a channel except for a channel, yes.
The questioner:
And the commentator al-Atab mentioned from behind Shaykh Hamid al-Zanki and Mustafa ibn Jun, how is the difference between this?
The Shaykh:
Or authentic or unknown from the imams of the Tabi'un, as in Subul al-Salam and others. If Shaykh Hamid said this, then it is a slip of the pen or lack of attention or a typographical error. Allah knows best. Yes.
