To be honest, at first it wasn’t easy for me at all when I started to pray again: it would make my heart beat fast, I wasn’t used to doing it everyday. But make sure you don’t give up. Then Allah will help you as Allah helped me until you get so much better at praying.
wow two amazing debates, I agree with both, I will try not to miss anymore prayers to stay away from acts of belief so Allah does not see me as a disbeliever, but at the same time, if I ever do miss one it wont stop me from re making my shahada and containing my daily prayers.
Abdullah bin Shaqiq said: "The Sahaba of the Prophet s.a.a.w. did not hold the abandoning of any action to be disbelief except for the prayer." Reported by At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim, who declared it sahih according to the conditions of Al-Bukhari and Muslim." Ibn Hazm mentioned that it has been related from Umar, Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, Mu'adh bin Jabal, Abu Hurayrah and other then them from the Sahabah. He said, "We do not know of anyone from the Sahabah who differed with them." That is all that is needed. If the Sahaba says that abandoning prayer makes one a kaffir then who is anybody after them to contradict them of any scholars. Sahaba > Everybody else.
This is a ijma dhanni which is a lesser form of ijma and can be disputed, because Abdullah ibn shaqiq did not meet all the Sahaba so he is only talking about those he met.
Abu Ubadah Ibn Samit (Ra) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “Allah (SWT) has made five prayers obligatory. If anyone performs ablution for them well, offers them at their (right) time. and observes perfectly their bowing and submissiveness in them, it is the guarantee of Allah that He will pardon him; if anyone does not do so, there is no guarantee for him on the part of Allah; He may pardon him if he wills, and punish him if He wills.” (Abu Dawood). Shaykh al-Albānī answers: “The one who abandons the prayer has two states: either he believes in its legislation, or he denies its legislation. So regarding this second state, he is a disbeliever by the consensus of the Muslims. And likewise, whoever denies a matter from the religion that a Muslim cannot be ignorant about - for example, whoever denies (the legislation of) fasting, Hajj and whatever else there is of matters known by all the Muslims to be necessities of the religion - then he is a disbeliever. So there is no difference of opinion about this: whoever denies the legislation of the prayer is a disbeliever. But if there is a man who does not deny (the legislation) of the prayer and who acknowledges its legislation, but with respect to action, he does not perform it, he does not pray - maybe he does not pray at all and maybe he prays sometimes - so in this case, if we said that this man has disbelieved, this statement would not apply to him at all, because kufr (disbelief) is denial, and he is not denying the legislation of the prayer, as (Allāh), the Most High, said with regard Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) answers: “This is not the first hadeeth in which it is said that whoever does such-and-such has disbelieved. You have the famous hadeeth ‘whoever swears by other than Allaah has disbelieved,’ but we don’t say that whoever says ‘by the life of my father’ has apostatized from his religion. And you know, for example, thehadeeth of ‘Umar bin al-Khattaab in Saheeh al-Bukhaari when the Messenger (of Allaah) (‘alayhi ssalaam) heard him swearing by his father, so he (‘alayhi ssalaam) said: ‘Don’t swear by your fathers; whoever of you swears, then let him swear by Allaah or keep silent.’ And in the hadeeth of (‘Umar’s) son ‘Abdullaah bin ‘Umar, he said that the Messenger (of Allaah) (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Whoever swears by other than Allaah has associated partners with Him,’ and in another narration, ‘he has disbelieved.’ So it is not necessary for the occurrence of the expression ‘whoever does such-and-such has disbelieved’ to mean that he has disbelieved with the disbelief of apostasy. Rather, it can have many meanings, such as for example: ‘he has disbelieved’ can mean that he is close to disbelieving, that he has disbelieved with the disbelief related to (only) actions (i.e., minor kufr), and such meanings that the people of knowledge were obliged to (apply) in order to reconcile between the texts.
Masha Allah!!! May Allah grant you goodness in the 《《Dunya》》 as well in the 《《Aakira》》 Ameeen...Your family and our families and the 《《Ummah》》 at large Ameeen...And May He grant us 《《Jannatul Firdous》》 Ameeen...
Very simple view, a BELIEVER those who understands what does it mean to call themselves MUSLIM means surrender, would understand and agree with sheikh Assim, While those who lacks Imaan, sometimes pray and sometimes skip, out of laziness they forgot the sholah, busy dancing on tiktok and watching anime.. would prefer to go with Bilal Phillips because it gives them a sense of security. Alhamdulillah for those who follow Qur'an and Sunnah, in the day of judgement the first question is about your Sholah.
For those who are saying brother bilal Phillips doesn't have prove, don't know what "proof" is. what he is quoting is from the scholars of the past which is proof as well as analogy and logic. Both are respected views. I would be inclined to believe bilal Phillips on this one though as this is what I've been told before. Secondly, bilal Phillips did give proof from Quran and hadith.
No ? Statements of scholars are no proof in islam my dear brother. Only Koran sunnah ijma (sahaba) and kiyas. when a scholars claimes something he has to proof it from Koran and Sunnah. A statement from a scholar is no proof. But im not talking about the debate. I only saw the first minutes yet, so please dont understand me wrong ;) Salam alaykum
You know what is so funny...Shaykh Assim is on the broad of education for the online Islamic University of Bilal Philips. So its just a good conversation between the two...simple. The title pf this clip is wrong...its not a debate...to the since of Team Assim or Team Philip. Respect both views as they both have more knowledge in their finger than any of us.
Finally it boils down to less knowledgeable people to conclude, as there was no conclusion! Those seeking every single word with absolute clarity from Scholars will remain confused and lost! However, those who have the ability to make a decision, must have automatically taken the more comfortable position, and can remain hopeful upon the mercy of Allah...
When they [hypocrites] are told,dont cause corruption on earth,they say, we are only putting things right.NO indeed ,they are the corrupters QURAN suratul baqara ,11-12
I would like to call this as a discussion rather than a debate. What I took from this is importance of Salah. There is 2 opinion on this matter among scholars. So even if those who think it won't lead to disbelief, still consider a slight chance other opinion may correct, use that fear to maintain Salah without missing
Disgusting how the video is titled to instill hatred and dislike among people's heart for these Shaykhs. Anything for the views and money. May Allah protect this Ummah from the Mufsidoon.
No wounder this ummah is soo confused 😕 May Allah swt have mercy and protect us from the Fitnah of this Dunya Ameen. Remember in the land of the blind the one Eyed is the King Dajjal!
I love both Shaykhs for the sake of Allah SWT. Regarding Salat & As-Salat...I have a hadith of Umar RA where he simply mentioned Salat instead of As-Salat. So, the debate ends more with Shaykh Assim Al Hakeem's stand and evidences than Shaykh Bilal Phillip's. There is no place in Islam for him who gives up Salah Feroz Abu La’lu’ah, an enemy of Islam, stabbed Umar (RA) during the Fajr prayer. Umar received several deep wounds in the abdomen and was taken home. As a result, he fainted. It was thought that he was going to die that very moment. But when he came to himself, he looked around and said: “The Salah? O Allah! There is no place in Islam for him who gives up Salah.” And though he was profusely bleeding, he performed Wodhu & offered the Fajr prayer he had missed. Umar (RA) died during the following night. In my personal opinion...If it wasn't about believe and disbelieve of a single Salah...Umar (RA) wouldn't get up in that very dire situation and offer his Fajr Salah by clearly saying he whosoever give up Salah there is no place for him in Islam.

Dr Bilal Phillips makes sense an is giving the whole Ummah a chance to unite and stop people from labeling and judging people as disbelievers. The Quran mentions there is no compulsion in religion - so why would anyone force them to pray with the threat of Death - Muslims need to get a grip and start promoting Islam in a unified way.
As a fellow brother mentioned below, Dr philips, i believe is inline with true Balanced islam. Allah forgives everything except shirk. Killing someone or judging someone for not praying is not our duty. We can only suggest to them to pray. Forcing them puts us in a position of Authority. Authority is only for Allah (SWT). His/Her judgement is with his/her creator Allah (SWT)..

praying is a must but humans will be humans sometimes i miss prayers while sleeping the point is only god can judge me what about those khawaarij whos prayers u cannot compete with them and they call some muslims kaafir if u call any muslim kaafir it comes back 2 u my understanding of the hadith is 2 scare us so that we could not leave the prayer of the most merciful
@@naseemweathers8358not allowed to sleep if it results in missing an obligatory salah. This is a gross misunderstanding of the ruling you are mentioning. If you sleep near the start time of dhuhr and wake up half an hour before Asr (BEFORE the time ends) this is fine. If you sleep deliberately and do not take any measures to wake up and pray on time this is a major sin which some scholars would even say it takes you out of the fold of Islam (Imam Ahmad رحمه الله)
"Athee ullaha wa'athee u'rrasool" Fear Allah and the Prophet peace be upon him. Only Quran cannot guide you It is essential to look supporting evidence from authentic hadiths.. There are many hadiths of Prophet (pbuh) giving us understanding the importance of Salah. Do not pick random verses from Quran to support your argument.
My dear brother Bilal, you have NO evidence for the argument that you have presented gainst Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem. So, his argument is vivid and based on Daleel from the Quran and the Sunnah. May Allah the Almighty bless you both ameen! Reply 1
Salaams Greenbird. Brother Phillips brought the most definitive evidence. He showed the actual meaning of the Hadith with the Arabic. “As Salah” he clearly showed that it is taken to be The prayer. Not a prayer. And that was amongst others!. He just stuck to the main point that the sheik never addressed. Allah knows best.
Ibrahim Noonan I thought that he had stronger evidence. However, I do admit that in these matters it depends on the backgrounds and influences of both speakers. Sheikh Assim is from a more conservative Saudi background which plays a major factor in these debates since Saudi form of 'sharia' is mainly according to the desires of the king, which he cannot oppose. Therefore, he has the dilemma of upholding strict Saudi values as well as his own religion. On the other hand, Sheikh Bilal does not have that pressure which makes his arguments a lot more smoother and logical. To summarise, evidences do not always lead to conclusions and so the issue of a person being killed for not praying definitely needs more clarification from Sheikh Assim.
thank you for your response , the Qur'an says لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ So how can you be killed for not praying , or being lazy . I agree that those who dont pray are not following Islam and even they could be called kafir , but to kill someone for not praying this makes Islam very barbaric
If a person if proved kafir he should be executed according to the hadith “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2794) and Allah knows best.
i think you have misunderstood the verse, as there is a distinction made by the classical scholars between compulsion once one enters the religion, and compulsion when one is outside the religion (i.e a disbeliever)
We Should Stop Fighting Over Peanuts . DO NOT BE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE IN ISLAM. WHY DON'T THIS SCHOLARS OF ISLAM SPEAK OR GIVE LECTURES ABOUT THE CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION N MONETARY POLICIES ARROUND THE WORLD. WE WANT SCHOLARS WHO CAN STAND UNITED N FIGHT THE OPPRESSOR ( U.S & ISRAEL ).
*No, Dr. Bilal Philips. I am NOT among those, who agree with you. Alhamdu li llah for the Hikma of Sheikh Assim al-Hakeem, whom I trust for my life. Then we could, according to Dr. Philips pray as we please and NOT as Allah Azza wa'jal asks from us. These are "americanised" new ideas and you should stop implanting that in Muslim's minds!!!!*
Karimah Bint Yusuf beleive what you want but have some respect for the scholars of this ummah. When you have scholars like shaykh uthaymeen, Abu hanifa, Malik, shafi (r.a) etc who are upon that opinion, how can you ever accuse someone of having "Americanized" ideas.
you made a good point except the end where that was a rude statement and angry. but you made the point that, Allah swt does not bend his rules for us and that we have to go with the rules and thats it. dont be angry just explain
The Ruling on the one who abandons Prayer - Shaykh al-Albaani Part 1 source: silsilat ul-hudā wa nnūr ~ the series of guidance and light ~ tape no. 8 Question #5: “What is the ruling on the one who abandons the prayer? And what is the difference between al-kufr ul-ʽamalī [1] (the disbelief related to actions) and al-kufr ul-ʽitiqādī [2] (the disbelief related to faith)?” Shaykh al-Albānī answers: “The one who abandons the prayer has two states: either he believes in its legislation, or he denies its legislation. So regarding this second state, he is a disbeliever by the consensus of the Muslims. And likewise, whoever denies a matter from the religion that a Muslim cannot be ignorant about - for example, whoever denies (the legislation of) fasting, Hajj and whatever else there is of matters known by all the Muslims to be necessities of the religion - then he is a disbeliever. So there is no difference of opinion about this: whoever denies the legislation of the prayer is a disbeliever. But if there is a man who does not deny (the legislation) of the prayer and who acknowledges its legislation, but with respect to action, he does not perform it, he does not pray - maybe he does not pray at all and maybe he prays sometimes - so in this case, if we said that this man has disbelieved, this statement would not apply to him at all, because kufr (disbelief) is denial, and he is not denying the legislation of the prayer, as (Allāh), the Most High, said with regard to the disbelievers: {And they denied them (those Āyāt)…, though their ownselves were convinced thereof}. [3] So if we take as an example so-and-so from the people who does not pray, but when he is asked ‘Why don’t you pray O my brother?’, he says to you, ‘Allāh will forgive me, by Allāh the worldly life has kept me busy, these children have kept me busy,’ and this type of talk. Of course, this talk is not an excuse for him at all, but he presents us a benefit which we didn’t know because we can’t know what is in his heart. He presents us a benefit that the man believes in the legislation of the prayer, as opposed to if the answer was, may Allāh forbid: ‘O my brother, the time for this prayer is gone; this was during a time when the people were not educated, they were unclean, they were in need of a specific nature of cleanliness, purity and exercise, and now the time for this has gone; now there are new means that free us of prayer’ - this (man) has disbelieved and thus (goes) to {Hell, and worst indeed is that destination}. [4] As for if the answer is the first (example): ‘Why don’t you pray?’ (and he says,) ‘Allāh will forgive us, may Allāh curse the shaytān,’ and this type of talk that informs us that the man is not denying the legislation of the prayer, then if we said that this man is a disbeliever, we would be contradicting the reality, because this man is a believer, a believer in the legislation of the prayer and a believer in all of Islām, so how can we declare him a disbeliever? Therefore, we say that there is no difference between the one who abandons the prayer and the one who abandons fasting and the one who abandons Hajj and the one who abandons anything from the acts of worship related to actions - (there is no difference) with regard to (judging whether) he is to be declared a disbeliever or not. When is he declared a disbeliever? If he denies. When is he not declared a disbeliever? If he believes. So it is not allowed - by consensus - to declare the believer to be a disbeliever. And many narrations have come in accordance with this…: ‘(Allāh will say:) Make whoever (sincerely) said lā ilāha illAllāh (none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh) enter Paradise,’ while he does not have a (good) deed equal to the weight of an atom, but he has the weight of an atom of īmān (faith), so this īmān is what prevents him from dwelling in the Fire forever, and he enters Paradise even if it is after he becomes a black coal. [5] However, this is the one who bears witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allāh, and he believes in all that has come from Allāh and His Messenger ; but he does not pray, or does not fast or does not perform Hajj or the like, or he steals or fornicates - there is no difference with regard to all these affairs when placed on the scales of disbelief related to actions and disbelief related to faith [because since he has faith, these impermissible actions do not fall under disbelief related to faith / major kufr]. For instance, a man commits fornication; do we declare him a disbeliever? You will say, no. I say, no. Don’t be hasty. We have to see, does he say that zinā (fornication) is prohibited? Does he say as some of the ignorant ones say: ‘there is no harām and there is no halāl’? If he says to me (such a) statement, he has disbelieved. Likewise, the one who steals and any (other) sin - for example, the man who backbites people, and we say to him: ‘Fear Allāh, the Messenger (of Allāh) said: ‘Backbiting is you mentioning about your brother that which he dislikes,’6 and he says: ‘There is no ‘the Messenger said’ and such-and-such,’ (then) he has disbelieved. In this manner, (the same applies to) all the Islamically legislated rulings, whether it is a positive ruling, i.e., one of the obligatory duties, or a negative ruling, i.e., the prohibitions that he must keep away from. So, if he regards any of these prohibitions to be permissible in his heart, he has disbelieved. But if he falls into it by way of action while believing that he is disobeying (Allāh), he has not disbelieved. So there is no difference with regard to this between all the Islamically legislated rulings, whether they are from the obligatory duties or prohibitions. The obligatory duties must be carried out and it is not permissible to leave them off, but whoever leaves them out of laziness, it is not allowed to declare him a disbeliever. Whoever leaves them out of denial has disbelieved; whoever regards any of the forbidden things to be permissible has likewise disbelieved. There is no difference with regard to this at all between the obligations and prohibitions.” 1 i.e., minor kufr 2 i.e., major kufr 3 Sūrat un-Naml, 27:14 4 Sūrah Āl ʽImrān, 3:162 5 Sahīh al-Bukhārī #7439, #7510, #6560; Sahīh at-Targhīb #3639, #3641 6 Sahīh Muslim #2589

the guy from mecca is crazy. he divides people into us vs. them. this is pure hatred. why is 'bless the scholars soul' stated all the time? they must've been bad people if they need blessings all the time.
dr. Philips has a Christian heart. He promotes mercy and gentle approach. if it wasn't for people like him, Allah's religion would turn into a heartless and robotic exercise. so the guy from mecca never missed salat? please.

When is he declared a disbeliever? If he denies. When is he not declared a disbeliever? If he believes. So it is not allowed - by consensus - to declare the believer to be a disbeliever. And many narrations have come in accordance with this…: ‘(Allāh will say:) Make whoever (sincerely) said lā ilāha illAllāh (none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh) enter Paradise,’ while he does not have a (good) deed equal to the weight of an atom, but he has the weight of an atom of īmān (faith), so this īmān is what prevents him from dwelling in the Fire forever, and he enters Paradise even if it is after he becomes a black coal. [5] However, this is the one who bears witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allāh, and he believes in all that has come from Allāh and His Messenger ; but he does not pray, or does not fast or does not perform Hajj or the like, or he steals or fornicates - there is no difference with regard to all these affairs when placed on the scales of disbelief related to actions and disbelief related to faith [because since he has faith, these impermissible actions do not fall under disbelief related to faith / major kufr]. For instance, a man commits fornication; do we declare him a disbeliever? You will say, no. I say, no. Don’t be hasty. We have to see, does he say that zinā (fornication) is prohibited? Does he say as some of the ignorant ones say: ‘there is no harām and there is no halāl’? If he says to me (such a) statement, he has disbelieved. Likewise, the one who steals and any (other) sin - for example, the man who backbites people, and we say to him: ‘Fear Allāh, the Messenger (of Allāh) said: ‘Backbiting is you mentioning about your brother that which he dislikes,’6 and he says: ‘There is no ‘the Messenger said’ and such-and-such,’ (then) he has disbelieved. In this manner, (the same applies to) all the Islamically legislated rulings, whether it is a positive ruling, i.e., one of the obligatory duties, or a negative ruling, i.e., the prohibitions that he must keep away from. So, if he regards any of these prohibitions to be permissible in his heart, he has disbelieved. But if he falls into it by way of action while believing that he is disobeying (Allāh), he has not disbelieved. So there is no difference with regard to this between all the Islamically legislated rulings, whether they are from the obligatory duties or prohibitions. The obligatory duties must be carried out and it is not permissible to leave them off, but whoever leaves them out of laziness, it is not allowed to declare him a disbeliever. Whoever leaves them out of denial has disbelieved; whoever regards any of the forbidden things to be permissible has likewise disbelieved. There is no difference with regard to this at all between the obligations and prohibitions.” 1 i.e., minor kufr 2 i.e., major kufr 3 Sūrat un-Naml, 27:14 4 Sūrah Āl ʽImrān, 3:162 5 Sahīh al-Bukhārī #7439, #7510, #6560; Sahīh at-Targhīb #3639, #3641 6 Sahīh Muslim #2589
Part 2 source: silsilat ul-ahaadeeth is-saheeha - the series of authentic narrations - hadeeth no. 87 ~ Hudhaifa bin al-Yamaan (radiAllaahu ‘anhu) said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Islaam will be erased just as the decoration of a garment is (worn out and) erased, until it will not be known what is fasting, nor prayer, nor the rituals of Hajj, nor charity; and the Book of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, (i.e., the Qur’aan) will be taken away (from the mus-hafs[1] and breasts of the people)[2] in one night such that not (even) an aayah from it will remain on earth. And groups of people will remain - the old people - saying: ‘We saw our forefathers upon this statement: ‘laa ilaaha illAllaah (none has the right to worshiped but Allaah),’ so we also say it.’” (Then), Silah bin Zufar said to Hudhaifa: ‘What will ‘laa ilaaha illAllaah’ benefit them when they don’t know what is prayer, nor fasting, nor the rituals of Hajj, nor charity?’ Hudhaifa turned away from him. Then (Silah) repeated it to (Hudhaifa) three times, and every time Hudhaifa would turn away from him. Then he turned toward him on the third time and said three times: ‘O Silah! It will save them from the Fire.’”[3] ~*~*~*~ Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) comments: “There is an important benefit of fiqh in the hadeeth, which is that bearing witness that laa ilaaha illAllaah (none has the right to be worshiped but Allaah) saves the one who says it (sincerely) from dwelling forever in the Fire on the Day of Resurrection, even if he didn’t use to perform any of the other pillars of Islaam at all, such as prayer and so on. And it is known that the scholars have differed about the ruling on the one who abandons the prayer especially while believing in its legislation. Sothe majority was of the opinion that he has not disbelievedby that, but rather disobeyed Allaah; and Ahmad - in a report - was of the opinion that he has disbelieved, and that he is to be killed due to apostasy, not as a prescribed punishment. And it is has been authentically narrated from the Companions that they did not consider leaving any of the actions to be disbelief except the prayer; at-Tirmithee and al-Haakim reported it.[4] And I believe that that which is correct is the view of the majority, and that what was mentioned from the Companions does not clearly state that they meant by ‘disbelief’ here to be the disbelief which will make its possessor dwell forever in the Fire and for which it is not possible that Allaah will forgive him. How can that be when this is Hudhaifa bin al-Yamaan - who is one of the foremost of those Companions - responding to Silah bin Zufar, who was about to understand the affair as Ahmad’s understanding of it. So (Silah) said: ‘What will ‘laa ilaaha illAllaah’ benefit them when they don’t know what is prayer. . .,’ then Hudhaifa replied to him after his turning away from him, saying three times: ‘O Silah! It will save them from the Fire.’ Therefore, this is a clear statement from Hudhaifa (radiAllaahu ‘anhu) that the one who abandons the prayer is not a disbeliever [if he believes in its legislation], but rather a Muslim who will be saved from dwelling forever in the Fire on the Day of Resurrection. So be mindful of this, for indeed you may not find it in other than this place.” [1] the actually plural word in Arabic for mus-haf is masaahif, i.e., copies of the Qur’aan [2] this explanation and detail in the parentheses was mentioned by Shaykh ‘Abd ul-Muhsin al-‘Abbaad in Sharh Sunan ibn Maajah, tape #293 [3] also refer to Saheeh ibn Maajah #3289 [4] Saheeh at-Tirmithee #2622
Part 3 source: silsilat ul-hudaa wa nnoor - the series of guidance and light - tape no. 81 ~ Question #10: “What about the hadeeth: ‘whoever abandons the prayer has disbelieved’?”[1] Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) answers: “This is not the first hadeeth in which it is said that whoever does such-and-such has disbelieved. You have the famous hadeeth ‘whoever swears by other than Allaah has disbelieved,’[2] but we don’t say that whoever says ‘by the life of my father’ has apostatized from his religion.[3] And you know, for example, thehadeeth of ‘Umar bin al-Khattaab in Saheeh al-Bukhaari when the Messenger (of Allaah) (‘alayhi ssalaam) heard him swearing by his father, so he (‘alayhi ssalaam) said: ‘Don’t swear by your fathers; whoever of you swears, then let him swear by Allaah or keep silent.’[4] And in the hadeeth of (‘Umar’s) son ‘Abdullaah bin ‘Umar, he said that the Messenger (of Allaah) (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Whoever swears by other than Allaah has associated partners with Him,’[5] and in another narration, ‘he has disbelieved.’ So it is not necessary for the occurrence of the expression ‘whoever does such-and-such has disbelieved’ to mean that he has disbelieved with the disbelief of apostasy. Rather, it can have many meanings, such as for example: ‘he has disbelieved’ can mean that he is close to disbelieving, that he has disbelieved with the disbelief related to (only) actions (i.e., minor kufr), and such meanings that the people of knowledge were obliged to (apply) in order to reconcile between the texts. ‘Whoever abandons the prayer has disbelieved.’ (But also) we say, ‘whoever sayslaa ilaaha illAllaah[6] (sincerely) will enter Paradise;’[7] ‘whoever says laa ilaaha illAllaah (sincerely), it will benefit him some day,’[8] [9] as mentioned in thehadeeth of al-Bazzaar and others. (Another hadeeth mentions that) ‘whichever slave runs away from his master has disbelieved.’[10] These expressions are very numerous: ‘he has disbelieved, he has disbelieved.’ And there isn’t any hadeeththat is interpreted like this upon its apparent meaning if it comes with the expression: ‘he has disbelieved.’ This hadeeth - ‘whoever abandons the prayer has disbelieved’ - is treated the same way as the other narrations which share the saying ‘he has disbelieved’ with the hadeeth about prayer. So here, many interpretations can occur for this text as for many (other) narrations. For example, ‘the tale-carrier[11] will not enter Paradise,’[12] (but) does that mean that he has disbelieved because of his tale-carrying? The answer is: if he considers that to be permissible by his heart, then Paradise has been forbidden for him. And if he acknowledges the forbiddance of that, and admits that he is wrong, a sinner and an evildoer, then his affair is with Allaah, as He, the Mighty and Majestic, said: ‘Verily, Allaah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills.’[13] So abandoning the prayer is an action that leads its doer to die upon other thaneemaan (faith) - and Allaah’s protection is sought. And abandoning the prayer is from the characteristics of the disbelievers who don’t pray and don’t give thezakaah(obligatory charity). Hence, if the Muslim does not pray, he has resembled the disbelievers. So his disbelief here is the disbelief related to actions [as long as he believes in the legislation of the prayer]. And the narrations which must be explained (with regard to their true meanings) are very numerous. For instance, during the farewell pilgrimage, (the Prophet) (‘alayhi ssalaat was salaam) ordered Jareer bin ‘Abdillaah al-Bajalee to quiet the people down and make them listen, and he (‘alayhi ssalaam) said while addressing them: ‘Do not return to being disbelievers after me by striking the necks of one another.’[14]And he (‘alayhi ssalaat was salaam) said: ‘Insulting a Muslim is disobedience (to Allaah), and fighting him is disbelief.’[15] But if a Muslim kills or fights another Muslim, has this (person) apostatized from his religion? The answer is: no, because Allaah said: {And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both. But if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which outrages till it complies with the Command of Allah}.[16] He considered each of the two groups - the one outraging and the one being outraged - to be from the believers, although the Messenger (of Allaah) said in the previous hadeeth that ‘insulting a Muslim is disobedience (to Allaah) and fighting him is disbelief.’ So how is disbelief interpreted here? It is minor disbelief; it is disbelief related to actions. And the narrations about prayer - which declare that the one who abandons the prayer has disbelieved - are also (interpreted) likewise: either it is said that he is close to the disbelief related to faith (i.e., major kufr), that he is close to dying upon other than the religion of Islaam, or (it is said) that he has disbelieved with the disbelief related to actions. This interpretation is necessary so that we don’t contradict the narrations of the Messenger (of Allaah) (‘alayhi ssalaam) with one another.” [1] Saheeh at-Tirmithee #2621 [2] Saheeh at-Tirmithee #1535 [3] swearing by other than Allaah can become major disbelief when the one swearing believes that the one whom he falsely swears by has the ability to avert harm from him and the like; refer to The Methodology of the Saved Sect by Shaykh Muhammad bin Jameel Zaynoo, p. 101 [4] Saheeh an-Nasaa’ee #3775, Saheeh aj-Jaami’ #1923 [5] Saheeh at-Tirmithee #1535 [6] none has the right to be worshiped but Allaah [7] Silsilat ul-Ahaadeeth is-Saheeha #2355 [8] i.e., even if he first enters the Fire to be punished therein [9] Saheeh aj-Jaami’ #6434 [10] Saheeh Muslim #68 [11] the tale-carrier is the one who spreads the speech of the people among one another with the intention of causing corruption, such as you going to someone and saying: ‘such-and-such person insulted you, and he said such-and-such thing about you, etc’ so that you separate between them; refer to Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen in Noorun ‘alaa ddarb tape #48a and Silsilatu Liqaa il-Baab il-Maftooh tape #93a [12] Saheeh al-Bukhaari #6056, Saheeh Muslim #105 [13] Surat un-Nisaa, 4:48 [14] Saheeh al-Bukhaari #4405 [15] Saheeh al-Bukhaari #6044 [16] Surat ul-Hujuraat, 49:9
Part 4 source: silsilat ul-hudaa wa nnoor - the series of guidance and light - tape no. 323 ~ Question #23: “Our Shaykh, I am asking you about the issue of proofs with regard to the ruling on the one who abandons the prayer. In the treatise ‘The ruling on the one who abandons prayer’ by Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, he is of the opinion that the one who abandons the prayer is a disbeliever, and he has many proofs, such as Allaah’s statement about the mushrikoon:[1] {But if they repent, perform salaah (the prayer), and give zakaah (obligatory charity), then they are your brethren in religion}.[2] So he says that what is understood from the aayah is that if they don’t do that, they are not our brethren; and the religious brotherhood isn’t negated by sins even if they are great, but it is negated when one leaves Islaam” Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) answers: “Yet he is not saying that if the person prays but doesn’t give the zakaah that he is (likewise) not a Muslim and that he has disbelieved by that. May Allaah guide you, you are bringing his proof but I would like to turn your attention to (the fact) thatthere is no proof in it because he is not saying about the one who abandons thezakaahthe same as he is saying about the one who abandons the prayer. You didn’t just narrate his opinion, rather you narrated (both) his opinion and his proof, but I would like to turn your attention to (the fact) that this is not a proof for him, because the aayah includes zakaah along with the prayer, [yet he is differentiating between the one who abandons the former and the one who abandons the latter].” Question #23 (continued): “What is the ruling on this man who has abandoned the prayer, not out of denying (its legislation) but out of laziness? And what is thedaleel (evidence)?” Shaykh al-Albaani answers: “This (man) is one who is rebellious and disobedient (to Allaah), and not a disbeliever. The daleel is that ‘Whoever says laa ilaaha illAllaah[3] (sincerely) will enter Paradise,’[4] and the daleel is that ‘Allaah has prescribed five prayers upon (His) slaves, so whoever performs them and does them well, and completes theirrukoo’ (bowing), sujood (prostration) and khushoo’ (submissive humility and attentiveness), then he has a covenant with Allaah that He will enter him into Paradise, and whoever does not perform them and does not complete their rukoo’,sujood and khushoo’, then he does not have a covenant with Allaah; If He wills, He will punish him and if He wills, He will forgive him,’[5] and if he was a disbeliever, He would not forgive him because Allaah says: ‘Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills.’”[6] [1] those who associate partners with Allaah [2] Surat ut-Tawbah, 9:11 [3] none has the right to be worshiped but Allaah [4] Silsilat ul-Ahaadeeth is-Saheeha #2355 [5] Saheeh ibn Maajah #1158, Saheeh at-Targheeb #400, Hukm Taarik is-Salaah p. 46 [6] Surat un-Nisaa, 4:48
