What is reported from the Companions regarding actions and statements at a specific time or in a specific place: is it said to be recommended or permissible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. What is reported from some of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : I say: What is reported from some of the Companions regarding some actions and some statements at a specific time or in a specific place, provided it is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with us, is it said to be recommended or permissible, O Shaykh, or is it said otherwise?
The Shaykh : This varies depending on the variation.
The questioner : No one is known to have opposed it, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I want to say: Is it a worldly action, or is it mixed with being an act of worship?
The questioner : It is an act of worship.
The Shaykh : If it is worldly, the original ruling for things is permissibility. And if it is otherworldly, and it is from the jurists of the Companions, and there is no one who opposed it in it, then these are people whose companion does not suffer, is that clear?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : It is recommended, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : With the condition. Here, memorize the condition.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Fine, O Allah. Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I testify that there is no god but You.
The Shaykh : Do not look at your feet. Stand straight as Allah created you, okay? Not like this, no, like this. Then turn toward the imam. If you see his chest slightly protruding, that is fine. If you do not see it, move forward. Do not do it like this, and then like that. The row is not straight now. Straighten up as you were commanded, if Allah wills.
