The Shaykh Al-Albani's comment on those who hold that the Sunnah is not to exceed eleven rak'ahs in the standing prayer, while he permits exceeding that in the Tarawih prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Then he said, when he counted the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) practice in the Tarawih prayer, he said: "Either he would pray five, or seven, or nine," and then he said, "And the most he would pray was eleven." So how does this reconcile with the word "the most," when the Shaykh actually permits increasing the number in Ramadan?
The Shaykh : ... but rather he went back! It is all contradiction upon contradiction.
The questioner : ... with al-Hashimi, he will greet you. I conveyed your greetings to him, and he said his wife is pregnant and needs to give birth during his absence.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So I asked him what name was in mind for your family name, and he said Rashid. I said, by Allah, my brother, Rashid means, as far as I know, I have no knowledge of the names, and this is not a condition at all, but I am telling you, you should look into it. I mean, I say in the Sunnah, but as far as I know, this name has not passed me by, nor the names that...
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner: - May Allah have mercy on you - The beloved names in the Shari'ah are known, so I have no knowledge of this, and it is not a condition as I told you, but look into it so that you do not get into the trouble of naming a name that is not from the Sunnah, especially since you are a scholar of da'wah, and there is good in you, O professor. And choose names that bring us back to the guidance of the Salaf. When we say Mu'adh, we remember Mu'adh, Bilal, Sa'd, Saeed, Abd al-Rahman, Abd Allah, the righteous Salaf. May Allah be pleased with them, and the Tabi'un, who truly we are still at the table of their goodness and their clear knowledge. So the best thing is if we bring new names and sit down to philosophize about them: "Rashid is from rashad (guidance) and..." These names do not all contain rashad. I tell him... the Sunnah. So rashad, rashad, and irshad are all in the Sunnah.
The Shaykh: My Salafi brothers, the information they have obtained is not sufficient... .
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, the Shaykh is correct. Our Shaykh Abu Malik is always, as you say, may Allah reward him with good.
The Shaykh: He applies it.
The questioner: A lot, I mean, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: ... and doubts.
The questioner: Ah, may Allah reward you with good. You brought a Shaykh and you brought a Shaykh, each has his own circumstances, correct? But in general, it means we have demolished the verses and hadiths on this topic.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: ... . One, two, three.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner: Yes, indeed, may Allah reward you with good. By Allah, I was pleased when you said you are like this, one who is married and has a problem.
The questioner: The brother Abdullah's statement when he cited that, by Allah, now accidents are frequent with cars, and it is not permissible to ride in a car, planes are not riding in a plane, this argument may be a bit far-fetched for some minds, or...
The Shaykh : From which aspect?
The questioner: That is, the relationship of these cars, these cars, what is the relationship between them and the problems of marriage, and there may be apparent rulings or something like that.
The Shaykh: The point, my brother, is clear. What does he intend? It is as it happens in riding a car, a problem occurs in riding the second woman.
The questioner: Yes, indeed, may Allah reward you with good, and this is the intended meaning.
