Can we perform lazim with the same tayamum as the one we performed for the\u00a0wazifa?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>There is a point of divergence on this subject. The main rule is as follows: in the same way that a tayamum is needed for each prayer (according to the Malikite school), it is also needed for each litany because they have the status of a pious vow and therefore that of an obligatory deed. (Sheikh Idriss El \u2018Iraqi)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The point of divergence concerns the lazim recitation with the tayamum of the\u00a0wazifa, and the accomplishment of both with the tayamum of obligatory prayer. Some forbid it and others authorize it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among those who forbid it are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Sidi Muhammad Ibn \u2018Abd al-Wahid an-Nazifi in\u00a0<strong>ad-Dur- ra al-<\/strong><strong>h<\/strong><strong>arida<\/strong>,<\/li>\n<li>Sheikh Muhammad Ibn \u2018Abdullah Tasfawi in\u00a0<strong>al-Fat<\/strong><strong>h<\/strong><strong>\u00a0ar- rabbani<\/strong>,<\/li>\n<li>Sheikh Muhammad al-hafiz in\u00a0<strong>Qa<\/strong><strong>s<\/strong><strong>d as-Sabil<\/strong>,<\/li>\n<li>Sheikh Nazifi totally forbade the recitation (of the litany) or the prayer with a previous tayamum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The author of al-Fath ar-rabbani forbade the recitation of Lazim with the tayamum of the obligatory prayer. He also forbade the recitation of\u00a0wazifa, lazim and \u2018asru with a single tayamum. He said nothing about reciting\u00a0wazifa\u00a0with the tayamum of prayer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The author of Qasd as Sabil authorized the recitation of\u00a0wazifa\u00a0with the tayamum of the prayer. He forbade the recitation of lazim with the tayamum of the obligatory prayer. He also forbade the recitation of\u00a0wazifa\u00a0with the tayamum of lazim. Sheikh Nazifi agrees with him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The author of Fath el Rabbani agrees also with them, except concerning the accomplishment of the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0with the tayamum of the obligatory prayer. This was authorized by Shinqiti who said: \u201cThe\u00a0wazifa\u00a0may be recited with the tayamum of the obligatory prayer, because its \u201crank is less superior to that of the lazim\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He agrees with the prohibition of the recitation of lazim with the tayamum of the obligatory prayer. He said nothing about the prohibition of the recitation of lazim with the tayamum of the\u00a0wazifa, because this is obvious.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Sheikh and Sultan of Marocco \u2018Abd al-hafiz in his book\u00a0<strong>al-Jami\u2018a al-\u2018irfaniyya<\/strong>\u00a0also forbids it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a person is reciting litanies othen than the esssential ones and the recitations of the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0begins, should he interrupt his recitation?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>Yes he should interrupt himself and join the brothers for the recitation of the\u00a0wazifa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Questions<br \/><\/strong>a) If a person is reciting lazim or\u00a0wazifa\u00a0on a rainy night and people plan to gather both Maghreb an Icha prayers as mentioned in the shari\u2019a.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">b) What about reciting\u00a0wazifa\u00a0out loud near a group who is reciting the Hizb of the Quran<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">c) What about a person whose ablutions are invalidated at the time of the closing formula \u00abInna-l-Lah wa- mala\u2019ikatahu yusalluna\u2026\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answers<br \/><\/strong>a) He should interrupt lazim or\u00a0wazifa\u00a0to perform the obligatory prayers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">b)\u00a0Wazifa\u00a0should be accomplished, whenever possible, in a special place and not in a place where we could disturb other people praying and evoking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">c) See Question 12.

He is not required to recite the closing formulas because they are not part of the pillars. He will recite them when he has completed all the pillars. However, there is no harm in reciting the closing formulas with the brothers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">b) He should wash his clothes, or remove them if he has others and continue lazim or\u00a0wazifa. This is also the case for the prayer. The person who only notices the impurity after finishing lazim or\u00a0wazifa\u00a0is advised to begin them again as long as he is in the time of accomplishement, although they both remain valid. (Sheikh an-Nazifi)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>What do you think of adding salat Fatihi in the prayer during the standing posture, the prostration, while sitting, during the first and the last tachahud, and also after the Qunut in the subh prayer?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>The salat Fatihi should only be recited (during the obligatory prayer) during the prostration (and during the last tachahud) and nowhere else. Allah said: \u00abdo not commit excess in your religion\u00bb (Surat 4, The women, verse 171) After the words \u00ab \u2026 His servant and His Messenger \u00bb during the first tachahud after the invocation of Qunut, salat Fatihi should not be recited.

(Sheikh Nazifi)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>Should we recite this \u00ab Sayyiduna Muhammadun Rasulu-l-Lah \u2018alayhi salamu-l-Lah \u00bb at the last beads of haylala (3rd pillar of both Lazim and\u00a0Wazifa) ? Some say that we should not use the word \u00ab Sayyiduna \u00bb, is this right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>After the last bead of haylala, you should recite \u00ab Sayyiduna Muhammadun Rasulu-l-Lah \u2018alayhi salamu-l-Lah \u00bb or \u00ab Sayyiduna Muhammadun Rasulu-l-Lah salla-l-Lahu \u2018alayhi wa-sallama \u00bb.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The purpose of the word \u00ab Sayyiduna \u00bb is a sign of respect towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). You should know that the word \u00ab Sayyiduna \u00bb is, for all for Sufis, a duty required by the Book, the Sunna, consensus (ijma\u2019) (agreement of the Muslim community).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ALLAH (The Glorified, The Exalted) said : \u00ab Do not make [your] calling of the Messenger among yourselves as the call of one of you to another.\u201d (Surat 24 The Light, verse 63)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said : \u00ab Without arrogance, I am the \u00ab Sayydi \u00bb Master of the sons of Adam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the consensus, the scholars of both apparent and hidden knowledge are unanimous regarding the use of the word \u201cSayyid\u201d, in prayer as well as other forms of evocation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the greatest demonstrations of this is the salat Fatihi which is not a human composition. It was sent down upon Sidi Muhammad al-Bakri (May ALLAH be pleased with him) and written with the pen of the Almighty on a tablet of light.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It descended accompanied by the word \u00abSayyid\u00a0\u00bb. The Truth (The Glorified, The Exalted) named his Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the word \u201cSayyid\u201d, likewise we should show respect to him by using the word \u201cSayyid\u201d and venerating him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the important figures who have used the word \u00ab Sayyid\u00a0\u00bb after haylala, in lazim,\u00a0wazifa\u00a0and also \u2018asrou, are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; Sidi Ibn Baba in\u00a0<strong>al-Munyat<\/strong>.<br \/>&#8211; Sidi Ubayda in\u00a0<strong>Mizab ar-Ra<\/strong><strong>h<\/strong><strong>ma<\/strong>.\u00a0<br \/>&#8211; Sidi Umar al-Futi in\u00a0<strong>Rima<\/strong><strong>h<\/strong>.<br \/>&#8211; Sidi Arab\u012b Ibn as-Sa\u2019ih in\u00a0<strong>al-Bugya<\/strong>.<br \/>&#8211;\u00a0 Sidi Ahmad Bibi in\u00a0<strong>Bulug al-amani<\/strong>.<br \/>&#8211; Sidi Makki Badr Salama in\u00a0<strong>an-Nafa<\/strong><strong>h<\/strong><strong>at al-Fa<\/strong><strong>d<\/strong><strong>ila<\/strong>.<br \/>&#8211; Sidi Ahmad at-Tijani as-Sinqiti in\u00a0<strong>al-Futu<\/strong><strong>h<\/strong><strong>at ar- rabbaniyya<\/strong>.<br \/>&#8211; Sidi Abd ar-Rahman as-Sinqiti in\u00a0<strong>Sahadat al-Jani<\/strong>.<br \/>&#8211; Sidi Muhammad Hajjuji in\u00a0<strong>Taysir al-amani<\/strong><br \/>&#8211; Sheikh Nazifi in\u00a0<strong>Ad-Durratu al-<\/strong><strong>h<\/strong><strong>arida<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sidi Muhammad Ibn Hasan al-Jakani said (may ALLAH be pleased with him) :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00ab The scholars were asked whether it was preferable to conform to the following phrase \u00ab Allahumma salli \u2018ala Muhammad wa-\u2018ala ali Muhammad\u2026 \u00bb or whether, demonstrating more respect, it was preferable to say: \u00ab Allahumma sali \u2018ala Sayyidina Muhammad\u2026 \u00bb.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They said: \u00ab\u00a0It is correct to show respect as it is indicated in the story of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may ALLAH be pleased with him), when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (during his sickness) instructed him to finish guiding the Prayer in congregation. He did not comply and out of respect, he stepped back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer and asked him: \u201cWhy did you not complete the prayer?\u201d Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may ALLAH be pleased with him) replied: \u201cAbu Quhafa should not stand in front of the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings be upon him)\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If some people are outside of the time frame for the accomplishment of\u00a0wazifa\u00a0(it has therefore become a debt) can they gather (gather together) to accomplish\u00a0wazifa?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>No they cannot. Each person should accomplis it individually. (Sheikh Nazifi)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a person joins the group for the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0and this same group notices an omission in one of the pillars (of\u00a0wazifa) and goes back to that pillar in order to complete it, should the person who had joined them also go back with them to the incomplete pillar?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>Yes, the person who joins the gathering should follow them in accomplishing the incomplete pillar and continue with them until the end. Then he should make up for what he missed before the incomplete pillar. (Sheikh Nazifi)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a group is reciting\u00a0wazifa\u00a0and adds something by mistake, of which some of them are sure and others have doubts, what is the rule?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>If a person is accomplishing\u00a0wazifa\u00a0in congregation and he is sure that something is added to one of the pillars, he should not follow them. He should warn them by a gesture and if they do not understand, he can speak to them because it is authorised to speak in order to correct the prayer. If they continue in their mistake, he should not follow them. If he follows them despite being sure that they are adding something, then his\u00a0wazifa\u00a0is invalid and theirs is not. On the other hand, if a person has doubts, he should follow them and has nothing to repair. (According to al-Yawaqit wa-l-jawahiru al-mudi\u2019a written by Hajj Makki)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a group has finished accomplishing\u00a0wazifa, and goes to visit a muqaddam and find another group reciting\u00a0wazifa, and joins them, should they afterwards catch up what they missed?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>If a person has accomplished\u00a0wazifa\u00a0in congregation, he is not required to do it again as long as the first\u00a0wazifa\u00a0is valid. If he joins another group (of this muqaddam for example) then this comes under the following hadith (then this is conditioned by): \u201cIf you come across a heavenly garden, then celebrate\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not necessary to catch up what he missed but if he does, he will be rewarded because we are encouraged to perform zikr abundantly. On the other hand, if he had accomplished\u00a0wazifa\u00a0alone and then joined a group, he is recommended to perform\u00a0wazifa\u00a0again with them, and in this case he should catch up what he has missed. (According to\u00a0<strong>al-Hidaya ar-rabbaniyya<\/strong>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a person is reciting\u00a0wazifa\u00a0in congregation and he has doubt (whereas the other members of the group do not) and so he alone adds something in order to dissipate this doubt, does he need to repair?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>When the group performing\u00a0wazifa\u00a0doubts the number of recitation in of the pillars or is sure of a lack then they should base their recitation on that of which they are certain (the minimum value), then they perform the remaining pillars, in the correct order, which is a necessary condition for validity. The person who adds recitation alone does not need to repair with a hundred \u201castaghfirullah\u201d when he has finished. However, when the entire group makes a mistake, repairing the zikr by one hundred \u201castaghfirullah\u201d is required.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>When we want to catch up what we missed of the\u00a0wazifa, having finished with the group, should we recite the formula of intention?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>No, it is not necessary to recite the forumula, neither when we join the group, nor when we catch up what we missed. If a person does recite it, no reparation is necessary.

(Sahadat al-Jani)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In these cases, If a person is reciting alone, and as long as it is a mistake (not on purpose otherwise\u2026), he should repair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The pillars of the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0are not the responsibility of the muqaddam, Each disciple should accomplish each pillar entirely for the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0to be valid (that is to say istighfar, sal\u0101t \u2018ala-n-Nabiyy, haylala, the Baraka of the group covers any missing beads (a few) of one its members in any of the pillars as informed by Sheikh Idriss El \u2018Iraqi)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a person has begun\u00a0wazifa\u00a0alone, and then a group joins him to perform it, should he stop reciting or should he raise his voice in order to invite the group to join him?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>He should raise his voice, and the group should join him. Once they have finished, those who had joined should make up for what they missed. This also applies to haylala (or \u2018asru).

But the person, who is neglectful without valid legal cause, commits a sin, which if he does not repent, can take him outside (exclude) of the tariqa.

On the other hand, if he only remembers later, or his ablution are invalidated or he has performed an act of adoration in the meantime, then he should do the whole\u00a0wazifa\u00a0again.

Then he should repeat (perform again) Friday\u2019s\u00a0wazifa\u00a0because everything should be done in the right order. If, on the other hand, he performs Friday\u2019s\u00a0wazifa\u00a0after sunset, he should only repeat Thursday\u2019s\u00a0wazifa. So it is not necessary to repeat Friday\u2019s\u00a0wazifa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a person habitually performs\u00a0wazifa\u00a0in the evening and wishes to perform it in the morning instead, what is the rule?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>Only one\u00a0wazifa\u00a0is obligatory per twenty-four hours, so he who wants to change with or without reason, has the right to do so. On the other hand, if he recites it twice a day, the rules concerning recitation and catching up are the same as for lazim. (al-Yawaqit wal-Jawahiru al-mudi\u2019a de Hajj Makki)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a person thinks that he has performed the Asr prayer and recites\u00a0wazifa\u00a0and then he realizes that in fact he has not yet performed Asr prayer, what should he do?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>Sheikh Nazifi said what signifies: \u201cHe should do it again after having performed \u2018Asr prayer because\u00a0wazifa\u00a0should be accomplished from the accomplishment of \u2018Asr prayer onwards (until \u2018Asr prayer of the next day). The time of the accomplishment of the (evening) lazim also begins after the performance of \u2018Asr prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a person who is performing\u00a0wazifa\u00a0in congregation sneezes, yawns or coughs, and because of this, finds himself two beads behind the others, what should he do?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>In the case where the disciple finds himself behind the others by one or two beads &#8211;for example two beads of istighfar or two of salatoul fatihi or two beads of another pillar &#8212; he should continue the zikr with them and when they have finished the pillar in question of the\u00a0wazifa, he makes up for what is missing while they are reciting the formulas of glorification. If it is only a matter of one or two beads, he may also whisper quickly to catch up with them, but if he is afraid of disturbing them then it is better to follow the group and then once the pillar is complete, he may catch up the two missing beads and no reparation is due for this. (Sheikh Idriss El \u2018Iraqi mentions that even if the missing beads are not caught up, the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0remains valid because of the Baraka of the group).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If a person says \u201cAKH!\u201d during the recitation by mistake or necessity, no reparation is needed. If it is done deliberately, his\u00a0wazifa\u00a0(or his lazim) is nullified. (al-Kawkab al-wahhaj by Sukayrij)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If someone is prevented (due to some impediment) for the whole day to perform\u00a0wazifa, is it authorized to perform it at night (before Fajr) in the same way that it is authorized for the lazim ?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>This is only authorized if he recites\u00a0wazifa\u00a0twice a day: he brings forward (performs in advance) his morning lazim and then his morning\u00a0wazifa. If he only recites\u00a0wazifa\u00a0once a day, this is not authorized (because he has 24 hours to perform it).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is said in certain books of the Tariqa: \u201cWe have a day and a night to perform\u00a0wazifa\u00a0one time, either during the day or during the night, but it is better to accomplish it twice a day, and in this case, one of the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0is meritorious. The best time to accomplish it is between Maghreb and Isha prayers (following in the footsteps of Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) towards the end of his life.\u201d (Futuhat al-minan de Sheikh Abu Bakr \u2018Atiq)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Question<br \/><\/strong>If a person has not accomplished the \u2018Asr prayer and joins the recitation of the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0in congregation late, and then a group enters and performs the Asr prayer, should he interrupt his\u00a0wazifa\u00a0and joint them?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer<br \/><\/strong>If a person has not accomplished the \u2018Asr prayer and joins the recitation of the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0in congregation late, he takes note of what he has accomplished and joins the group of \u2018Asr prayer. On completion of the \u2018Asr prayer, he returns to the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0group and completes it with them. Then he makes up for what he has missed beginning with that which he missed while performing the \u2018Asr prayer and then returning to catch up the beginning of the\u00a0wazifa\u00a0that he had missed because he was late.
