Going with the culture of the Age: The Hadith of Safwan ibn Muattal -Mufti Abu Layth

does this lab really permit us to go with let's say the culture of the age of people are saying if some people are saying look I'm struggling with that so what I mean get up to it this is an obligation this is a fair criticism that somebody could make somebody could say look what's wrong with you guys look if a law says it's thought what the hell is wrong with you rise to the obligation and I would say that is a very criticism if they were not an answer for it in the Sunnah of the Prophet now there is now if you go you will find a very interesting

hadith I have cited before by safar Nick no mister sorry about Safwan yep no more adult sorry not mister now no more at all now this companion of the prophet sallallaahu allison is the one whose wife complains about him she tells the Prophet that he does not pray she complains about a few things but one of the key criticisms on a focus on is she complains that he does not pray Fletcher he does not pray sober he wakes up after sunset I'm sorry after sunrise and you

know he misses fudger so he is cool to the Prophet and think about he is his people are just outside of medina they're not in a distant they're not like in Switzerland or something you know they are within the outskirts of within that kind of this tool with integers now he comes to the prophet and the Prophet asks him look what are these complaints and the Prophet asks him what's this D do you not wake up for Fajr and he says ya rasulallah in oman last a little elaborate relations that

we are a people we our culture my you know my tribe or my little my settlement where we live how I coach and think about it this is a very micro culture with images within the arabian culture he says in oman we are people who do not wake up except after sunrise did the Prophet say to him shame on you I said Allah said and you said this did the Prophet say rise to the challenge what did the prophet salaallah some actually say to him the Prophet said to

him either stay cut for something when you wake up then pray see that is a very interesting idea because he shows that look the Deen even with him a very similar the arabian culture was quite much i mean that there was you know quite a bit of I mean it wasn't monolithic but there was a lot of similarity between the different tribes they were still very similar compared to non Arabs yet within this you have this

microcosm of where a small part of a tribe has a different culture where they don't wake up early and it's not just him his people don't do it so he says in that moment and the Prophet catering for that summer long I know someone is an absolute I mean it epitomizes that the verse war ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan that we have not sent you except as a paragon of mercy for the world for the for everybody for everything and that a

dinner you serve this Deen is one of these people so I'm not saying that look people need to stop what they're doing and fast like this I'm not saying that at all I'm actually commending people who are doing the fast time but I'm making dua for them that are doing the lengthy fast and doing all of these things may Allah bless us all may he make us all capable may he give us the strength but people who want to choose option B where they extend let's say that's still similar to option a but those who want to choose option C where they just want to estimate a set number let's say a minimum being 13 and they

just want to fast 13 hours of the day anything above that that they can that that several allama have said that that is permissible I feel that it is permissible for them to take that fatwa and we are not allowed to really criticize them or condemn them we're not allowed to shame them not allowed to guilt trip them and it shouldn't bother us you know it comes back to that thing that my Dean is my Dean my relationship with allies my relationship if I feel that look what's wrong with that person why can he far 17 hours like me no you should be concerned

about you and a lot and you're fast and hamdulillah it's not you know Lester Eileen Beamer say that you're not in charge of them you know they if they are fasting according to an understanding that has been explained to them then they have the right to do so I hope that's been of some help people right so cool let's move on to right I got quite a bit actually to cover here oh my god is that the time yes alarm yes Allah okay people let's take a quick

look at this hadith on this hadith to do with the if a person drank alcohol he saw lies not accepted then why am I going through this hadith I've seen this hadith being cited quite a bit where people have said right so somebody has asked that does the school of Medina in my understanding this is in line with the principles and the 'soul of the school of medina of masala masala of Idina you saw that's in line with that I would agree that that fatwa is permissible for people to take I would agree with that option I would give the

fatwa that it is permissible to take that first one if that makes sense I mean I haven't made up this ruling I haven't come up with it I'm what I'm saying is it is a valid ruling within Islam for people to take if they felt that that life was that difficult for them to fast and each to their own and let's not judge people okay you can't just because you can do something doesn't mean you have the right to judge other people and say that why can't they do it that's not how this thing works and that hadith perfectly illustrates that the hadith of the person not waking

up their people not waking up for Sabah right
