The Way to Restore the Circles of Knowledge to the Houses of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! What is the way to restore these circles to the houses of Allah?
Answer:
I know no way to this except for mutual exhortation among the scholars, or for the state to mandate it, if it is an Islamic state, by obliging the scholars to restore these circles at appropriate times. After 'Isha' may not be suitable for many people, but between Maghrib and 'Isha', after 'Asr, after Fajr, and after Zuhr are all suitable times.
So the upshot is that the scholars should remember this matter, look into the appropriate times, and take turns in doing so, so that the people know what Allah has prescribed for them, so that they understand their religion at times that are suitable for both the teacher and the student. The times that do not suit the teacher are difficult for him, and the times that do not suit the student are likewise difficult for him, but they should exhort one another and consult on the times that are suitable for everyone. And if there is an imam in
the state or his representative in the country, it is his right to oblige them to do so and order them to do so, if it cannot be achieved except by compulsion, because teaching the people and instructing them in what Allah has made obligatory is a necessary matter. It is incumbent upon the rulers to carry this out through the people of knowledge. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
