PERMISSIBILITY OF FAATIHA-TEEJA-DASWAN AND CHALISWAAN

RECITATION OVER THE FOOD/FATHIHA

Hafidhh Ibn-Kathir writes :One day Prophet [Saws] was invited to someone’s house. Prophet [Saws] accepted the invitation and he bought a lot of companions with him to the house. There was a very short amount of food for the people. The Prophet [Saws] said to bring the food out. Prophet [Saws] read whatever Allah wanted on the food and du’a was also done on the food and the food was given to the people. After the people had eaten the food, there was still the same amount of food left as it was before the people started to eat. (Tareekh Ibn Kathir & Siraat un Nabi Chapter of Mujizat)

From this narration it proves that to do Du’a on food is not an Innovation but it is Sunnah and is only done for the purpose of Barakah [blessing] and so the food does not be short.

Hafidhh-Ibn-Kathir writes:When Allah Almighty revealed this verse of the Qur’an which states ‘ O Beloved, warn your nearest Kinsmen’, the Prophet [Saws] said to Ali ‘O Ali, sacrifice a goat and cook that meat and bring milk and fruit with the cooked to my house for a party’. At the party, Muhammad [Saws] said ‘I am a Prophet of Allah, I have been sent to guide you to the right path, so become a Muslim’. When the family heard this, they started to laugh and they left the house. This happened for three days continuously. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah Al-Shuara, under verse 214]

ALLOWED TO HAVE A MOSQUE NEAR THE GRAVE

Imam Tabari and Hafidhh-Ibn-Kathir write, in the 88th year of Hijra, the room of Aisha [ra] where there are graves of the Prophet Muhammad [Saws] Abu-Bakr [ra] and Umar

[ra]

were joined to the mosque of the Prophet Muhammad [Saws]. (Tareeh Tabari and Tareeh Hafidhh Ibn-Kathir, Chapter of Government (Valid-Ibn-Abdul-Malik by Imam Tabari and Hafidhh Ibn-Kathir) At the time of this, some companions and students (Tabeen) were alive and since then, no one has objected to this, which means it is allowed to have a mosque near the grave.

MAKING INTENTION OF VISITING THE GRAVE

Qadi Shawkani writes that:After the Prophet’s (Saws) death, Bilal settled in Syria. He had a dream where he saw the Prophet (Saws) and the Prophet said what kind of friend are you that you do not come and visit my grave? The next morning, Bilal made a journey to Madina to see the Prophet’s (Saws) grave. At that time the companions were alive and they did not object to this. This narration is authentic.
