Eidgah

Ahâdîth
  • It is narrated by Hazrat Abu Sa'îd Khudri that on the Day of Eidul Fitr and Eidul Adha, Nabî Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam used to go out to the Musallâ [Eidgah]. The first thing he commenced with was Salât and thereafter he would turn facing towards the people for delivering the Khutbah whilst the people remained seated in their Saffs.
  • It is narrated by Hazrat Abû Hurairah Radhiallahu anhu that it rained on an Eid Day, so Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam performed the Eid Prayer for the people in the Masjid.

Commentary:

  • From the first hadîth we come to know that this was the common practice of Nabî Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The Eid Salâh A,as performed on the outskirts of Madinah Munawwarah in such a place which was stipulated for this, as if the Eidgah land was stipulated. At this time it did not even have four walls around it, it was just an open land. Its distance was approximately 1000 footsteps away from Masjide Nabawi. (Mariful Hadîth, Vol. 3, P.399)
  • From the second hadeeth we learn that only on one occasion due to rain Eid prayers were performed in the Masjid of Nabî Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

 

Masa'il Regarding the Eidgah & the Eid Salât

  • Complying to the Sunnat, performing of the Eid Salâh on the outskirts of the town is better and more virtuous, than performing it in the town. (Fatâwâ Darul Ulûm, Vol 5, P. 208)
  • The Eid Salâh should be a huge gathering on the outskirts of the town. In this way the might and power of Islam is manifested. In the big cities it is difficult to make Eidgah on the outskirts of the city, therefore a huge open plain should be chosen for the Eidgah or according to the need, it can be performed in the Masjid, which will be correct. But as far as possible, one huge gathering is more superior compared to many small Eidgahs. (Ahsanul Fatâwâ, Vol. 4, P. 119)
  • Performing of the Eid Salâh in the Eidgah is Sunnat-e-Muak'kadah. Without any valid excuse, the one who does not perform his Eid Salât in the Eidgah is worthy of being reprimanded and taken to task and this kind of a person is a sinner. If the Eidgah is a distance away and it is inconvenient for the old and sickly, then the Jurists have given permission for them to perform Eid Salât in the Masjid. (Fatâwâ Rahimiyah, Vol. 1, P.276)
  • The Eid Salât performed in the Masjid is complete, but performing it in the Eidgah is Sunnat. Without any valid excuse, not to read the Eid Salât in the Eidgah is contrary to the Sunnah. (Fatâwâ Ddrul Ulûm, Vol. 5, P.2261

The one who revives a Sunnah in the time of corruption will
receive the reward of 100 martyrs (Hadîth)

Taraweeh 20 or 8 Rakaats!

Definition of Taraweeh

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (R.A.) (died 852 a.h.) says in Fathul Baari - commentary of Bukhari:

“Taraweeh is the plural of tarwehah which means one occasion of rest similar to the word  ‘tasleemah’ from ‘salaamah.’ Salaah in Jama’ah (congregation) in the nights of Ramadhaan  is called taraweeh, because initially when they gathered upon it they needed to rest between every 2 sets of slaam (i.e. between every 4 rakaats) [Fathul Baari vol.4 pg.294]. 

Allamah qastalani (R.A.) in his commentary in bukhari “Irshaadus Saaree” mentions the very same definition as above (Irshaadus Saree vol.4 pg.575).

Moonsighting

These days many Muslims, feel that the sighting of the moon for the commencement of the new Islamic month, Eid and Hajj is an outdated practice which should be done away with. This booklet outlines the basis for this practice.
 
Introduction
 
These days many Muslims, ignorant and ‘enlightened’, feel that the sighting of the moon for the commencement of the new Islamic month, Eid and Hajj is an outdated practice which should be done away with. They accuse the Ulama of being backward and being against progress and scientific inventions. They claim that life would be much easier if we instead submit to modern day instruments of observation and observatory reports regarding the sighting of the moon.

  1. To perform every Salaah with Jama’ah in a Musjid (For males). Females should perform their salaah at home.

  2. To wake up a little earlier than the exact time of Sehri and to perform the Salaah of Tahajjud. There is no prescribed number of the Tahajjud prayer. It is better to perform 8 Rak’aats.
