The Magnificent Virtue of Sending Ṣalāh Upon the Prophet ﷺ — Your Name Is Presented Every Time You Say It: An Honour Many Neglect on Jumuʿah! Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

Shaykh Sulayman ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: • Many questions have reached me regarding what is better in fasting the six days of Shawwāl: should they be consecutive or separated? And when should one begin? • The answer is: it is permissible to fast them consecutively, and it is also permissible to fast them separately. And it is permissible to begin from the second day of Shawwāl or later, as long as six days remain from the month. • What is better is to fast them consecutively, as that is hastening to goodness and racing toward it, and a person does not know what may come up. • As for what is better in beginning them: if there is a benefit in delaying them until people have finished the customary days of Eid—such as participating with family, pleasing their hearts, and not putting people in hardship—then that is better. • But if there is no benefit that outweighs delaying them, then hastening to fast them at the earliest possible time is better. • And the Muslim should beware of procrastination. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

When Eid and Jumuʿah Coincide: What Must a Muslim Do? — A Scholarly Explanation! Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: O assembly of believing men and believing women, in this night and in what remains for us of Ramaḍān, I advise myself and you to have Taqwā of Allah and to supplicate with persistence and certainty for yourselves, and for your relatives, and for those whom you love, and for your rulers that Allah guides them to that which He loves and is pleased with, and that He preserves them, and strengthens them upon goodness, and for the scholars who are firmly grounded—callers to Tawḥīd and the Sunnah and correct understanding of the religion and upright daʿwah—that He aids them and writes acceptance for them, and for the men of security that Allah guides them, and preserves them, and rewards them, and enables them against everyone who intends evil for the land, and for your countries that Allah establishes security within them, and preserves the unity, and suffices them from the evil of the callers to evil and those who spread trials. [An advice by which Ahl al-Sunnah rejoice, and by which the people of desires are shaken, and indeed by this we draw closer to our Lord.] https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

قال الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله: Shaykh Sulayman ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: هل تخرج زكاة الفطر نقدًا؟ • Is Zakat al-Fitr to be given in cash? النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فرضها طعامًا • The Prophet ﷺ obligated it to be given as food. النبي أخرجها طعامًا حتى مات مع حاجة الصحابة للنقود • The Prophet ﷺ gave it as food until he passed away, despite the companions’ need for money. الصحابة أخرجوها طعامًا • The companions gave it as food. اتفق العلماء على صحتها طعامًا، واختلفوا في صحتها نقدًا، وأكثرهم على عدم الصحة • The scholars unanimously agreed on its validity when given as food, but differed on its validity when given in cash—and most of them held it is not valid. تُخرج صاعًا من أي طعام، مع أن قيمة الأطعمة تختلف، فالقيمة لا مدخل لها • It is to be given as one sā‘ of any food, even though food prices differ—so monetary value has no role in this. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

Two Stations of the Believer as Ramaḍān Departs: The Sorrow of Farewell and the Joy of Allah’s Blessings! Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: “‘The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.’ (Al-Qadr 97:3). The Night of Decree is better for the believer in its blessing, its reward, its virtue, and its goodness than a thousand months that he lives in which there is no Night of Decree. Meaning: that the Night of Decree equals for the believer in its blessings and its reward eighty-three years and a third in which there is no Night of Decree. Allāhu Akbar! If you do well, are sincere, and strive in the Night of Decree, and you are accepted, then that is better for you than if you were to live eighty-three years and a third, and most people do not live this lifespan.” [Transcribed from an audio clip of the Shaykh] https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

Glad Tidings to the One Whose Heart Softens as Ramaḍān Departs: A Call to Return to Allah in Sincere Repentance! Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: Tonight is the night of the twenty-seventh, and it is the most hopeful of the nights for Laylat al-Qadr. For it is from the last ten nights, and from the remaining seven nights, and it is an odd night. And the Prophet ﷺ greatly exerted himself in it, and he gathered his family for the night prayer in congregation, and he prayed with his companions in congregation, and he lengthened the prayer in it from after the ʿIshāʼ prayer until close to Fajr. And the evidences regarding it are more than regarding other than it. So the deprived one is the one who wastes it. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

Shaykh Sulayman al-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: Tonight is the night of twenty-five from the last ten nights “Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the last ten nights”, and it is an odd night “Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten”, and it is a night from the last seven “Whoever is seeking it, then let him seek it in the seven remaining nights”, and it is a night in which the Prophet ﷺ prayed the night prayer with his companions in congregation and extended the prayer until half of the night. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli
