‘Eid or Jumu’ah?

If ‘Eid happens to be on a Friday then it is not compulsory upon the one who prayed the ‘Eid prayer to also pray the Friday prayer. The only exception for this is the Imaam.  It is compulsory for him to establish the Friday prayer given that the required amount of people actually do attend.

It is mentioned that Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal had two opinions with regards to whether or not it was obligatory for the Imaam to establish the Friday prayer on such a day.  Those who say it is not compulsory are ash-Sha’bi, an-Nakha’i and al-Awzaa’ee. It is even said that this is the opinion of ‘Umar, ‘Uthmaan, ‘Alee, Sa’eed, Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbaas and Ibn Zubayr.

The majority of the Fuqahaa (scholars) are of the opinion that it is still obligatory in this case, due to the general verses and hadiths that illustrate this point. (And they argue saying) both prayers are obligatory and one does not take the place of the other, another example of it would be  the ‘Eid prayer and the dhuhr prayer.  (i.e. you do not leave one for the other)

Our – Hanbali – opinion is that which was narrated by Iyaas bin Abee Ramlah ash-Shaami:

“I was with Mu’aawiyah when he asked Zayd bin Arqam ‘Were you ever with the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم when ‘Eid was on a Friday?’ Whereupon he replied ‘Yes I was’ So he asked, ‘What did he (the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم) do?’ he replied ‘He صلى الله عليه وسلم  prayed the Eid prayer and made the Friday prayer optional and said, ‘Whoever wishes to pray he can pray’ (Shaykh al-Albaanee said, it is authentic  Sunan Abee Dawood 1/295)

 [Reported by Aboo Daawood and by Ahmad with the wording Whoever wants to pray the Friday prayer may do so’]

Aboo Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم  said:

“Today the ‘Eid will be on a Friday, whoever wishes to pray the ‘Eid prayer instead of the Friday prayer may do so, however the Friday prayer will be established”  (Shaykh al-Albaanee said, it is authentic  Sunan Ibn  Maajah 1/392)

 [Reported by Ibn Maajah, and similar reports have been narrated by Ibn ‘Umar and Ibn ‘Abbaas]

[Take from al-Mughnee, by Imaam Muwaffaq-ud-Deen bin Qudaamah al-Maqdasi]

Treasure

Friday approaches once again many of us might read surah Kahf, yet how much of its wisdom escapes us? The story of Muusa and Khidr shows the importance of seeking knowledge and even the etiquttes that should be present in the student. A very beautiful point that might not be clear to many of us is the following I read in the book Taqyeed al-'Ilm by Imaam al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadee

On the authority of Sa'eed bin Jubayr that Ibn 'Abbas said concering the verse:

وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُ كَنزٌ لَّهُمَا

And underneath it [ie the wall] was a treasure belonging to them [the orphans]

[This treasure] was neither gold nor silver, rather it was scrolls of knowledge.

Al-Hasan ibn Saalih said:

And what treasure could be better then knowledge!
