The Ruling on Asking Allāh for His Bounty Upon Hearing a Rooster and Seeking Refuge Upon Hearing a Dog Bark Imām Muqbil—may Allāh have mercy on him—was asked: Question: "What is the ruling on asking Allāh for Paradise upon hearing the rooster, and is it an obligation or a recommendation? Likewise, when seeking refuge upon hearing the barking of dogs, is that repeated every time we hear it, even if that is more than once at one time?" Answer: "As for when hearing the rooster or the crowing of the rooster, then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: فما سمعنا الصارخ “So when we hear the crowing” The intent by that is the rooster. So if one hears it, then it is necessary to ask Allāh for His bounty. [1] This is considered recommended and not in the form of an obligation. Likewise is seeking refuge from Shayṭān when hearing the barking of a dog. If the barking repeats continuously in one sitting, it is not necessary for him to say every time he hears the dog: أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 'I seek refuge with Allāh from the accursed Shayṭān' After some time, if another dog barks or that same dog barks again, then he seeks refuge with Allāh from the accursed Shayṭān. As for if it is continuous, then it is sufficient to seek refuge once. And in Allāh is aid sought."

However, the ḥadīth itself is muttafaqun ʿalayh (agreed upon), meaning that it is narrated in both Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, with the wording: “إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ صِيَاحَ الدِّيَكَةِ”.

The Ruling on Wealth Derived From Both Ḥalāl and Ḥarām Sales Imām Muqbil—may Allah have mercy on him—was asked: Question: "If a Muslim sells in his store some ḥarām things, is all of his money ḥarām?" Answer: "No, in accordance to what he sells. The wealth remains with suspicion and ambiguity. Piety/cautiousness (al-waraʿ — الورع) is to leave it off. As for him, then the sin [on him] is to the extent of what he sells of ḥarām. The Messenger (ﷺ) said, as in the Musnad of Imām Aḥmad from the ḥadīth of Jābir and Kaʿb ibn ʿUjrah, and the meaning is similar: إيما جسد نبت من حرام فالنار أولى به "Any body that is nourished from ḥarām, then the Fire is more deserving of it." [Al-Ṣaḥīḥ al-Musnad, no. 260] However, for other than him, piety/cautiousness is to leave it off. Otherwise, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to deal with the Jews, and the Jews used to call him to food, and he knew that they used to deal with usury."

"The people of the Sunnah are those through whose hands Allāh will bring about goodness, and through whom He will grant victory to Islam and the Muslims."

Imām Muqbil’s Praise of Imām al-Albānī Imam Muqbil—may Allah have mercy on him—used to say about Imām Al-Albānī: “There is no one similar to him in this time in regards to the knowledge of the Ḥadīth and the Sunnah.” And he used to say: “It is not befitting for the student of knowledge that he do without the books of Imam Al-Albānī.” And he used to say: “A library which doesn’t have in it the books of Ash Shaykh Al-Albānī is a poor library.” And he used to say: “And I advise all of the students of knowledge the researchers that they acquire all of his books.” [الفتاوى الحديثية لعلامة الديار اليمانية (2/323)] ——— Translated by: Abū ʿĀʾishah Majīd https://t.me/Muqbil_Eng https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaHVDfO2kNFjO6CnyX3r

Al-Ijmāʿ (Consensus) Is Not Proof Imām Muqbil—may Allāh have mercy upon him— said: “The issue of the proof of consensus is an issue which has been differed over in the past. So the majority of the scholars took the opinion that it is proof and from the people of knowledge are those who said it is not proof . . . And what is correct is [the evidences] are the Book and Sunnah only. As for consensus, then one pays attention to it, but it is not binding. Likewise, al-Qiyas (analogy). It is permissible for an insightful scholar to make analogy. However, it is not binding. And consensus is not proof and that is what we believe and worship Allah with it”.

Imām Muqbil on al-Ijmāʿ: Is Consensus an Independent Proof? Question: “To what extent is al-Ijmāʿ (consensus) proof, and is there an authentic consensus which is considered? We hope for some examples, may Allāh reward you with good.” Imām Muqbil—may Allāh have mercy on him—answered: “I do not hold the view that consensus is proof because Allāh, the Exalted, said: {وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ} “And in whatsoever you differ, the decision thereof is with Allāh (He is the ruling Judge).” [42:10] And He said: {فَإِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِنْ كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ} “(And) if you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allāh and His Messenger, if you believe in Allāh and in the Last Day.” [4:59] And Allāh says: {وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ} “While He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you.” [6:119] So the explanation in the Book of Allāh and in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) is sufficient. As for their use of the statement of Allāh as evidence: {وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَىٰ وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّىٰ وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا} “And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way. We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell—what an evil destination.” [4:115] Then the intent is he opposes the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) and the believers. So the opposition here is disbelief and turning away from the path of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the path of the believers. Al-Shawkānī (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said in his book Fatḥ al-Qadīr and his book Irshād al-Fuḥūl which he preceded to say in a chapter that the issue in which there is a consensus on it brings more tranquility to the soul. Its meaning is that consensus is paid attention to. As for us saying that the evidences are the Book, the Sunnah, consensus and analogy (Qiyās), then no. Rather the evidence is the Book and the Sunnah. {اتَّبِعُوا مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ قَلِيلًا مَا تَذَكَّرُونَ} “[Say (O Muḥammad) to these idolaters (pagan Arabs) of your folk:] Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the Qurʾān and Prophet Muḥammad’s Sunnah), and follow not any Awliyāʾ (protectors and helpers, etc. who order you to associate partners in worship with Allāh), besides Him (Allāh). Little do you remember!” [7:3] Despite the fact that most of the consensuses declared are mere claims as Imām Aḥmad (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said: “Whoever calls a consensus after the Companions, then he has lied. What does he know, perhaps they differed?” Some of the people of knowledge said that the consensus of the Companions is considered. Abū Muḥammad ibn Ḥazm (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said: “We have agreed to the proof of the Book and the Sunnah. So we take what we have agreed on such as the consensus of the Companions in relation to the obligation of prayer, their consensus on Zakāh, and their consensus on affairs which have established proofs.” Then they say that consensus must be based on proof just as they say that analogy must have an original issue and a subsidiary issue. The analogy made for the subsidiary issue is based on the original issue. So we take the proof for which this consensus is based on if it is proof. From the implication of the speech of Imām Aḥmad and other than him from the people of knowledge is that they affirm the consensus of the Companions. And Allāh Knows Best”.
