Question

A Madrasah justifies its jalsahs on the basis of Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) having slaughtered a camel when he had completed Hifz of Surah Baqarah. I have been invited to participate in a Jalsah. Please advise.

Answer

Do not respond to the invitations. These jalsahs are not per-

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "There are 360 joints in the human body. It is a person's obligation to give Sadqah for each joint (that is on a daily basis)." The Sahaabah asked: "O Nabi of Allah! Who can afford this?" Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Cleanse any mucus lying in the Musjid and remove any obstacle from the road. If unable, then at least perform two Raka'ts Dhuha Salaat."

"He who is steadfast in observing two raka'ts Dhuha, will be forgiven all his sins even if as numerous as the bubbles on the ocean."

"Allah will build a palace of gold for the one who performs 12 raka'ts Dhuha Salaat."

missible. They are wasteful, merrymaking, haraam functions. The argument of Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) these miscreants present is utterly baseless. Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) did not organize a stupid jalsah inviting even women to come out from their homes. He simply distributed the meat to the poor. So, they should follow his example. They should not cite him to halaalize their haraam merrymaking function. Distribute food to the poor unostentatiously without a merrymaking stupid function.
