The Shaykh : It was decreed for me to travel to some foreign countries, including Britain, for the sake of da'wah. There, we connected with the many Muslim communities, including Arabs, non-Arabs, Turks, Pakistanis, Indians, and so on. I witnessed a very strange phenomenon there and said, quoting his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) I drew from this hadith regarding that phenomenon. I found people who were fanatical about the Hanafi school, among the Turks, Indians, and Pakistanis, who rented a house from the houses of disbelief and turned it into a prayer hall where they prayed Jumu'ah. This prayer is invalid by the consensus of the schools of jurisprudence because it is in a house of disbelief. There is no permission from the imam. Where is the imam of the Muslims today? According to one of the opinions of the jurists, the Jumu'ah prayer is not valid in any Islamic country because there is no Muslim ruler. But, but, yes, may Allah save us from these opinions based on the Sunnah. So I said, these people were dragged to Paradise by the means of its chains, despite their noses, and they contradicted their school of jurisprudence because they did not find it very reasonable that Muslims come to lands of disbelief and neglect establishing the Jumu'ah prayer once a week. So they were compelled to adopt what is in the Salafi jurisprudence. And this is what most Islamic preachers do today: they take from our jurisprudence what they see as beneficial, not because the correct knowledge led them to this jurisprudence. And as it is said here "So this is the difference between us; every vessel emits what is in it" This is the answer to the question, otherwise.
The questioner : My Shaykh, this is related to the same issue, even if it means another chapter.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : One of our brothers called me yesterday. He asked me about some well-known sheikhs who issue fatwas for us in Zarqa. He asked him where he prayed the 'Id prayer. He said, "By Allah, I prayed it in such-and-such a mosque because it was not feasible for me to go to the open prayer ground." They said, "You did well." He said, "Why? The Sunnah is to pray in the open prayer ground." He said, "The Sunnah is to pray in the open prayer ground, but it is a condition that there is the imam's permission to pray in the open prayer ground." So this means it is from the same previous chapter, also without any
The Shaykh : Yes, that is so.
The questioner : Yes, it is a ruling without evidence.
The Shaykh : Yes, and Allah is the One to be sought for help.
Indeed, your Lord is amazed at a group of people who are dragged to Paradise in chains.
