Best of you

3. "The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest of mankind." [Dâraqutni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

The Ruling on Saying Bismillaah before Wudhu'

 


Question:

I make ablution and I forget to say Bismillaah until after I have finished washing my hands, and whenever I remember, I repeat it again; what is the ruling on this?
Answer:

The majority of the scholars agree that Wudhu is correct even without saying Bismillaah, while some of the scholars hold that the Tasmiyyah is obligatory, so long as one knows and remembers it, based upon what was reported from the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam):
áÇó æõÖõæúÁó áöãóäú áóãú íóÐúßõÑö ÇÓúãó Çááåö Úóáóíúåö

"There is no Wudhu for the one who does not mention the name of Allah upon it." [At-Tirmithi no.25 and Ibn Majah nos.397, 398, 399.]

But whoever left it due to forgetfulness or ignorance, his Wudhu is correct, and he does not need to repeat it, even if we accept that the Tasmiyyah is obligatory, because it is excused due to ignorance or forgetfulness, and the proof for that is in Allah's words:

ÑóÈøóäóÇ áÇó ÊõÄóÇÎöÐúäóÇ Åöä äøóÓöíäóÇ Ãóæú ÃóÎúØóÃúäóÇ

"Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error." [Al Baqarah: 286]

And it has been authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) that Allah, the Most Glorified, Most High has answered this supplication.
