What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Daniel Haqiqatjou's post claimed that a woman praying in a closet revives a Sunnah and that this is better for her than praying in the Prophet's mosque.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth introduces a post by Daniel Haqiqatjou showing a prayer mat inside a clothes closet, which he calls despicable. In the post, which Mufti reads out, the author says he found his wife had been praying in the closet, reviving a Sunnah, and quotes reports that a woman's prayer in her room is better than in her courtyard and her prayer in her closet better than in her room, and the report that Umm Humayd [?] was told her prayer at home was better than in the Prophet's mosque, after which she prayed in the darkest part of her house until she died. Mufti restates the claim as being that it is a Sunnah for women to pray in closets and that this is better for them than the Prophet's mosque, mocking it as a 'wonderful wardrobe of Narnia'.

let's get to Daniel haqiqa Jule let's get to his post so basically people what's happened right you know I made that post today saying I'm going to be speaking about amongst the topics will include Daniel have Pikachu and women praying in the wardrobe but what I want what I told somebody to do but they couldn't do because I was kind of preoccupied was I wanted to put up some pictures of you know front of mom you

0:39

know how idea also use mom as a kind of a brand that they have so mom is my hashtag of mafia ballet Maliki al-maliki so I wanted to get some mal wardrobes from Ikea and put them up in the pictures so this is so despicable honestly honestly I find this so you know what it is it's not the okay so what's happened is here's a picture right if those of you that can see right you can probably see better they it's like inside a kind of closet you can see

1:19

some clothes hung up in the background and you can see a prayer mat on the floor now if you saw that picture on its own there'd be nothing to it however Danny Boy our Daniel haqeeqat Jim Wright you know for somebody who's quite very anti anti anti everything and anti everything Jewish conspiracy and listen it's just an interesting name that's all think of the truth I walked by the closet in my home this morning and I was

1:56

surprised I was surprised because there was a pre Model T apparently my wife Alma harlot dare I say her name due to modesty if I mentioned her name she would that would be of a loose character so we always never mention women's names right

2:24

but anyway that's his own person that's not the problem oma harlot had been praying in the closet rather this was news to me because she doesn't typically pray thee turns out she's reviving an amazing Sunnah Allah the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said a woman's prayer in her room is better than her prayer in a courtyard and have prayer in her

3:01

closet is better than her prayer in her room another hadith reports that only a maid came to the Prophet she said o Messenger of Allah I like to pray with you he is reported to have said I know that you like to pray with me but your pray in your room is better than it's better for you then you'll pray in the courtyard and your pray in your courtyard is better for you then you your praying in your house and your prayer in your house is better for you then your prayer in the mosque and your

3:41

prayer in the mosque is better than you pray in my mosque so she issued orders that a prayer place be prepared for her in the furthest part and the darkest part of her house and she used to pray there until she met Allah eg died I need I need a drink right so so let's get this clear what what Daniel is saying here

4:18

what Daniel is saying is that one it is a sooner sooner a teaching of the Prophet for women to pray in closets in wardrobes and cupboards right - it is better for her to pray in a closet than to pray in the prophet's mosque so the prophet's mosque is less virtuous for her than her wonderful wardrobe of Nonya

4:58

right so this is according to start start cheerful Islam Allah metal what for people awesome Daniel hockey got you right so right so this is the the the claim that's a for women they don't need to pray in the prophet's mosque they just need to Crane wardrobes they sustain their hotel room climb into the cupboard and it should just pray there

5:32

so first of all first of all first of all apart from the fact that these hadith are ridiculously weak unacceptable absurd clash with the teaching of the prophets of the Prophet clash with the practice of the Prophet and his wives they clash with the hadith in the other books ah he Muslims I Hadi they go against the lifetime of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi Salam and the clear teachings in the Quran but do not show any of these kind of distinctions right not only that many of these
