Some Ayahs Explained

 

THE AAYAH MENTIONING MARYAM AND HER 'MIHRAAB'

Ans

What is meant is her private room where she prayed.

Imaam as-Syootee compiled a book "I'laamul 'Areeb
bihudoothil Mahaareeb" in which he collects texts showing 
that the Mihraab (Prayer Niche) in the mosques is an
innovation.

THE AAYAH [AL-WAAQI'AH AAYAH 79] LAA YAMASSUHU ILLAL
MUTAHHAROONA

Ans.

The Book is described in the previous aayah as being
'Maknoon' (Hidden), and the Qur'aan is not hidden.

Imaam Maalik in his Muwatta in tafseer of this aayah
says: "That the best that I have seen regarding this
aayah is that it is like:

FEE SUHUFIN MUKARRAMATIN - MARFOO'ATIN
MMUTAHHARATIN - Bl'AIDEE SAFARATIN - KIRAAMIN
BARARATIN [Sooratul 'Abasa ayaat 13-16]

It is not permissible for the people to call
themselves 'mutahharoon' (made pure/purified), but rather
'mutatahharoon' (those who cleanse themselves) - as in
the aayah that Allaah loves the mutatahhareen and the
aayah concerning the people of Qubaa.

This is the saying of Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim in his
book "Aqsaamul Qur'aan".

Ans. Rather we should be pleased with Allaah's creation,
as He says:

WA RABBUKA YAKHLUQU MAA YASHAA'U WA YAKHTARU
(Sooratul Qasas aayah 68)

); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">The ruling regarding making condition before starting
Hajj or 'umrah: "Allaahumma Mahallee haithu habastanee" 
(O Allaah my place is up to wherever you prevent me), and
what if this condition is not met?

Ans. It is permissible and if one does so and has to
leave ihraam then there is no sacrificial animal due upon
him if he is prevented from completion of the Hajj or
'Umrah, but he still has to make Hajj again the following
year even if it is not his first Hajj.
