Question:
Is religion specific to certain rituals, or is it comprehensive for all matters of life? And what is the ruling on one who says: that religion is specific to the mosque, or that it does not intervene in transactions and politics and the like?
Answer:
Religion is general; it encompasses the mosque, the house, the shop, travel, residence, the car, and the camel. It encompasses everything: [al-Baqarah:208]. That is, in all of Islam.
So the servant must fear Allah in everything, and submit his face to Allah in everything, not only in the mosque, but in the mosque and the house, with his family, his guests, and his neighbors, and in the markets with his brothers. In the place of buying and selling, he must sell as Allah has prescribed, and he must beware of riba, lying, betrayal, and deception, and so on in all his circumstances.
Religion is general in everything; religion is with you in everything, in your house, in your shop, in your travel, in your residence, in hardship and in ease. You must adhere to the religion; it is not only in the mosque. This is what the misguided say; it is what the secularists, the callers to misguidance, and the callers to atheism say. Religion is with you in everything; you must adhere to the religion of Allah in everything, and be upright upon the religion of Allah in everything. So the Muslim adheres to the religion of Allah and is upright upon the command of Allah in all matters. It is not specific to the house or the mosque, nor to travel or residence, but in all things. You must obey Allah, perform His obligatory acts, refrain from His prohibitions, and stand by His limits wherever you are, in your house, in the air, in the sea, in the market, or in any place.
