To Perform Namaaz in T-Shirt
(Darul Uloom Amjadia, India, Printed in Monthly Kanzul Iman-India)
Q: Is it allowed to perform Namaaz in a T-shirt whose sleeves are at or above elbow?
A: Hozoor Sadr-u-Sharia Aleh Rehmat says that the one who has proper clothes and still performs Namaaz wearing a T-shirt or a Vest it is considered
Karahat-e-Tanzeehi and if one does not have proper clothes than there is no Karahat in it, it is allowed. (Fatawa Amjadia Part 1, Page 193) Allah Ta’ala Knows the best.

Wearing Metallic band watch during Salaat
(Darul Uloom Amjadia, India, Printed in Monthly Kanzul Iman, India)
Q: How is it to wear a watch with metallic band? Most of the Imams wear such watches and take them off during Namaz, what is the verdict on such Imam?
A: To wear a metallic band watch and perform Namaz in it is not allowed. Like Alahazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Muhaddis-e-Barelvi (Rehmatullah Alaih) wrote: Watch’s band of Gold and silver for Man is HARAM and of other metals is prohibited. To perform Namaz or do Imamat wearing prohibited things is Makrooh-e-Tehreemi (Must repeat Namaz)-(Ahkam-e-Shariat, Part two, page 170) and it’s OK to perform Namaz behind Imams who wear such watches but take them off during Namaz. Hazrat Sadru-sh-Shariat Alaih Rehma used to perform Namaz wearing a watch and for the question on Imamat he said: If watch’s band is of some metal like Gold, Silver, Brass etc. then Namaaz will be Makrooh. Namaz should be performed after removing them. (Fatawa-e-Amjadia, Part one, Page 137)–Allah Ta’ala Knows the best.
Folding pant’s hem and performing Salah in it
(Darul Uloom Amjadia, India, Printed in Monthly Kanzul Iman, India)
Q: If the pant’s hems are at ankles can they be folded before performing Namaz?
A: If pant’s bottoms are at ankle it is not allowed to fold them to perform namaz, perform the Namaz without folding them. If pant’s hems are kept below ankles because of pride, it is HARAM, in this case Namaz will be Makrooh-e-Tehreemi (Wajib to repeat Namaz) otherwise it’s only Makrooh-e-Tanzeehi which is Khilafe Aula in Namaz. Same is written in Fatawa-e-Rizvia in part three on page 448. In case of folding the pants hems in Namaz will definitely be Makrooh-e-Tehreemi which will make it Wajib to perform the Namaz again. It’s in Hadees *. Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasslam said:” I was ordered that not to fold hair and cloth (In Namaz)” ted in Darr-e-Mukhtar with Shami Part one page 473. art one, Page 137)-Allah Ta’ala Knows the best.
To say and write Prophet Mohammad and Hazrat Ghous Pak as benefactor and helper
(Darul Uloom Amjadia, India, Printed in Monthly Kanzul Iman-India)
Q: Bakr says “to benefit and to help is limited to ALLAH Ta’ala only. To say and write Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him and Hazrat Ghous Pak radi ALLAH anhu as benefactor and helper is wrong”. Zaid says it is right. Which one of them is right?
A: In this described matter Zaid is right. Because to benefit and to help is personal quality (zatee sift) of ALLAH Ta’ala. Prophet Mohammad’s peace be upon him and other Ambiah karam’s and Awliah Uzzam’s quality to benefit and to help is given (to them) by ALLAH Ta’ala (which makes it ataee). Which means these qualities are given by ALLAH Ta’ala with HIS authority. ALLAH Ta’ala says 1* Part 29 Surah Dahr Ayat 2; ( ‘ALLAH Ta’ala created human (insaan) ‘Samee’ (one who hears) and ‘Baseer’ (one who sees). ‘Samee’ and ‘Baseer’ is also mentioned for ALLAH Ta’ala. It has been said 2* Part 15 Surah Bani Israel Ayat 1;(ALLAH is ‘Samee’ and ‘Baseer’ means He sees and hears). So It means that ALLAH Ta’ala’s quality of ‘Samee’ and ‘Baseer’ is personal (zatee) because to hear and see HE is not dependent on any one. But Human’s (insaan) quality of ‘Samee’ and ‘Baseer’ is given (ataee) by ALLAH Ta’ala and are not personal because human is dependent on ALLAH Ta’ala to see and hear.
Similarly ‘Raoof’ and ‘Raheem’ are also from ALLAH Ta’ala’s qualities (Sifaat). ALLAH Ta’ala says 3* Surah Baqara Ayat 143. ALLAH Rabbul Izzat also mentioned Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him as ‘Raoof’ and ‘Raheem’ in 4* Part 11 Surah Toba Ayat 128; ([your Rasool] is ‘Raoof’ and ‘Raheem’ on Muslims. So it means that ALLAH Ta’ala’s being ‘Raoof’ and ‘Raheem’ is personal (zatee) and Prophet Mohammad’s (peace be upon him) being ‘Raoof’ and ‘Raheem’ is given by ALLAH Ta’ala. In light of these Ayahs Hazrat Allama Ismail Haqqi Alaihe Rehma says with the reference of Taavilaate Najmia 5* Tafseer Roohol Bayan Part three page 544. Similarly ALLAH Ta’ala’s ability of to benefit and to help is his personal quality and authority and Ambiah karam and Awlia Uzzam’s ability to benefit and to help is given to them by ALLAH Ta’ala. Just as in Quran-e-Azeem ALLAH Ta’ala mentioned his Rasool and People of Iman as Muslims helpers, ALLAH Ta’ala says 6* Part 6 Surah Maayda Ayat 55. Therefore to say and write, Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) and Hazrat Ghous Pak (radi ALLAH anhu), as benefactor and helper is RIGHT. Allah Ta’ala Knows the best.

To say Aameen aloud or quietly when others are praying
(Darul Uloom Amjadia, India, Printed in Monthly Kanzul Iman, India)
Q: When Imam recites Ayate Durood after Jama’at the followers (Muqtadi) priase Durood aloud. Due to this some people say that since you say durood aloud you should also say Aamin aloud after Surahe Fatiha. So what is the Shara’i Verdict on such people. Some people do not say Aameen at Imam’s Dua but they say their own duas quietly. So the followers (Muqtadi) should say their own dua or say Aameen on Imam’s Dua?
A: If Muqtadis praise Durood or say Ameen with such intensity that it breaks the concentration of other people who are still praying Namaz then it is definately not allowed. If some one does that then it is given that he should be stoped forcefully, such is mentioned in Fatawa-e-Rizvia in part three on page 596. Therefore if they (who question loudness) say because of this reason then they are right (on Haq) but if no one is praying Namaz at those times than it is permissible to be aloud.
Dua is definately Amre Mehmood (likeable deed). However performed, it is allowed. ALLAH Ta’ala says 1*. But is better to say Aameen at Imam’s Dua than perform Dua alone. Because if mutiple people would say Aameen at Imam’s Dua then Dua will be Aqrab Baqabool (better chances to come true). Alahazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Muhadis-e-Brelvi radiallah anhu writes,”There is blessing in Jama’at and Dua of a group of Musims is Aqrab Baqabool. Scholars mention that wherever there are 40 True Muslims gathered among them one is a Wali (ALLAH Tala’s beloved) for sure. (better chances to come true). Fatawa-e-Rizvia, Book 9, Part one, Page 157.
Allah Ta’ala Knows the best.
