Continuation of the explanation of the author's statement: (… and those who take the graves as mosques)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is a form of foolishness. Indeed, it is even greater than that that some people are deficient in prescribed matters but are active in matters of religious innovation. Yes, you will find them active in matters of innovation, expending wealth, bodies, and tongues to establish them, but in matters of the Shari'ah, they are sluggish and not active. This is a form of affliction.
… deeds also differ in rank in terms of quantity, quality, and type. The obligatory is better than the voluntary, just as the type of prayer is better than the type of charity, because prayer is the best of bodily deeds. This is what the evidence indicates, and it is the position of the people of the Sunnah and the community: that deeds differ in rank, even faith in the heart, in which people differ, is that not so? A person feels in himself that at some times he finds in his heart a faith that he does not find at other times. How is my faith, and the faith of Zayd, 'Amr, and Khalid… greater? Yes. This is the summary of the chapter: it is obligatory to stay far, as far as possible, from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and its means, and to be strict, and very strict, with those who worship Allah at the grave of a righteous man. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "worshipped Allah" This includes prayer and others. The hadiths he cited are about what? About prayer. But he (may Allah have mercy on him) seems to have analogized others to it. So whoever claims that charity at the grave is better than elsewhere is severe, or rather, he has taken it as a mosque, because he believes that this place, or the one in this place, has a status that makes it superior to others. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) generalized, but the evidence is specific. What is known among scholars is that one does not use the specific to prove the general, meaning that the ruling cannot be broader than the evidence. However, one uses the general to prove the specific, using the general hadith for a specific ruling.
It is said: The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) intended by this that the operative cause is the exaltation of this place because it is a grave. This exists in prayer, and it also exists in other acts of worship. Yes. Shall we read the issues? Fine.
"In it are issues:
The first issue" Who will read it to us? 'Abdullah, or do you prefer? Fine, if you prefer, we will read it. We will read it.
