Waajib Actions in Namaaz
The Waajib actions of Namaaz are:
· To say the word اﷲ اکبر ‘Allahu Akbar’ in the Takbeer-e-Tahreema
· To recite ﷲ الحمد Alhamdulillah (Surah Faateha). In
other words to recite its entire seven verses, as recitation of every verse is
Waajib by itself. To omit even one verse or one word in it is to omit a Waajib.
· After reciting Surah Faateha, to join (i.e. follow) with
one other Surah, such as be reciting one short Surah such as اِنَّاۤ اَعْطَیۡنٰکَ الْکَوْثَرَ ؕ﴿۱﴾ Surah Kauthar, or three short
verses of the Qur’an such as ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ﴿ۙ۲۱﴾ ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَ بَسَرَ ﴿ۙ۲۲﴾ ثُمَّ
اَدْبَرَ وَ اسْتَکْبَرَ ﴿ۙ۲۳﴾ [Surah 74, Verses 21-23], or to recite one or two verses
which are equivalent to three small verses.
· In a Fard Namaaz, it is Waajib to make Qira’at in the
first two Raka’ats.
· It is Waajib to recite Alhamdu and a Surah in the first
two Raka’ats of a Fard Namaaz and in all the Raka’ats of the Nafil and Witr
Namaaz.
· To recite Alhamdu before the Surah.
· To recite Alhamdu in every Raka’at only once, before the Surah.
· There should be no foreign action separating the Alhamdu and
the Surah.
· The ‘Aameen’ is subsidiary of the Alhamdu and the
Bismillah is subsidiary to the Surah. It is not regarded as being foreign.
· To go into Ruku immediately after completion of Qira’at.
· For one Sajdah to be performed after the other, whereby
no action separates both of them.
· Ta’deel-e-Arkaan: in other words to remain in Ruku,
Sujood, Qauma and Jalsa at least for the duration of saying Subhaan’Allah once.
· Similarly, Qauma (is Waajib). Qauma is to stand upright
after coming up from Ruku.
· Jalsa (is Waajib). Jalsa means to sit upright between the
two Sajdahs.
· Qa’da-e-Ula (sitting for first Tashahud), even if it is
in a Nafil Namaaz.
· Not to add anything after the Tashahud in the Fard, Witr
and Sunan Rawaatib (Sunnats before and after Fard Raka’ats).
· To read the entire Tashahud in both Qa’das. Similarly to
read the entire Tashahud in all the Qa’das of a Namaaz. If one leaves out even
one word of the Tashahud (At’tahiyaat) when reciting it, it will be regarded as
‘Tark-e-Waajib’ (omitting a Waajib). To say the word اَلسَّلَامُ ‘As Salaamu’ twice and the word عَلَیْکُمْ ‘Alaikum’ is not Waajib.
· To recite the Dua-e-Qunoot in the Witr (is Waajib).
· The Takbeer of Qunoot (i.e. to say Allahu Akbar and raise
the hands for Qunoot).
· All six Takbeers of the Eid Salaahs.
· The Takbeer of Ruku in the second Raka’at of the Eid
Salaahs.
· The word Allahu Akbar to be proclaimed for this Takbeer.
· For the Imam to recite Qira’at with Jahr (audibly) in
every Jahri (audible) Namaaz.
· To recite Qira’at softly in non-Jahri Salaahs.
· For every Fard and Waajib to be done in its correct place
(i.e. order of sequence).
· For Ruku to be performed only once in every Raka’at.
· For Sujood to be done only twice in each Raka’at.
· Not to perform Qa’da before the second Raka’at.
· Not to perform Qa’da in the third Raka’at of a four
Raka’at Namaaz.
· To perform Sajdah-e-Tilaawat if any Ayat-e-Sajdah (Verse
of Sajdah) has been recited.
· To perform Sajdah-e-Sahw if there has been any such error
(which requires Sajdah-e-Sahw to be performed).
· For there not to be a pause equal to three Tasbeehs
between any two Fard (actions) or two Waajib (actions), or between a Fard and a
Waajib (action).
· When the Imam makes Qira’at, be it aloud or softly, the Muqtadi
should remain silent at this time.
· With the exception of in Qira’at, for the Muqtadi to
follow the Imam in all other Waajib actions. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.66; Durr-e-Mukhtar &
Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.307 etc.]
Sajdah-E-Sahw
Law: If one forgets any part of the
Tashahud in any Qa’da, it is Waajib for him to perform Sajdah-e-Sahw. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.313]
Law: If one recited Ayat-e-Sajdah and
one mistakenly delayed the Sajdah for the duration of three verses or more,
then one should perform Sajdah-e-Sahw. [Ghuniya pg.291]
Law: If one recited, the Surah first
and thereafter recited Alhamdu (Surah Faateha), or if one paused (or hesitated)
for a lengthy period, i.e. for a duration equal to saying Subhaan’Allah thrice,
Sajdah-e- Sahw becomes Waajib (compulsory). [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.309; Fatawa Razviyah
vol.3 pg.630]
Law: If even one word of Alhamdu has
been left out, Sajdah-e-Sahw must be performed. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1
pg.307]
Law: Those things which are Fard and
Waajib, are Waajib upon the Muqtadi to do with the Imam, on condition that
there is no interference to any Waajib (he is still completing), and if it
causes an interference, then it should not be left out. However, it should be completed
and only then should one follow (the Imam in the nextaction). For example, if
the Imam has already read the Tashahud and stood up already, and the Muqtadi has
not completed it yet, then in this case, it is Waajib upon the Muqtadi to
complete the Tashahud (At’tahiyaat) and then stand up. It is Sunnat to follow
in Sunnat (Namaaz), on condition that there is no interference, and if there is
any interference, he should leave it out and follow the Imam, such as in the
case where one is in Sajdah Ruku or Sajdah and he has not said three Tasbeehs
yet and the Imam raised his head. Then in this case, the Muqtadi too should
follow (immediately). [Raddul
Muhtar vol.1 pg.316]
Law: If one forgets a Sajdah of any
Raka’at, he should perform it once he remembers, even if it is after turning
Salaam, as long as no other action, which is negating is performed. Thereafter,
one should perform Sajdah-e-Sahw. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.311]
Law: If one performed 3 Sajdahs in one
Raka’at and forgot to perform Ruku or Qa’da-e-Ula, he should perform
Sajdah-e-Sahw. [Durr-e-Mukhtar
vol.1 pg.315]
Law: When mentioning the words of
Tashahud[1],
it is necessary to have in mind its meaning and diction, so as to say that you
are Glorifying Almighty Allah, and sending Salutations (salaam) upon Nabi صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم, and upon yourself and upon the Awliyah Allah, and note this,
that you should (merely) keep in view the account of the Me’raj. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.67;
Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.347]
Law: If after the Tashahud in the Qa’da-e-Ula
of the Fard, Witr or Sunan Rawaatib, one only said اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ ‘Allahum’ma Salle Alaa Muham’madin’ or اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی سَیِّدِنَا ‘Allahum’ma Salle Alaa Say’yidina’, then if this was done by mistake,
one should perform Sajdah-e-Sahw and if it was done deliberately, then to
repeat the Namaaz is Waajib. [Durr-e-Mukhtar & Raddul Muhtar vol.1
pg.343]
Law: In the Qa’da-e-Ula, if the
Muqtadi recited the Tashahud (At’tahiyaat) before the Imam (completed reciting
it), he should remain silent and not read Durood and Dua (i.e. he should not
read anything else), and one who is a Masbooq, should recite this slowly with
slight pauses in the Qa’da-e-Aakhira, in a way whereby he is able to complete
(the Tashahud) at the time when the Imam is turning his Salaam, and if he completes
before the Imam (turns Salaam), he should repeatedly recite the
Kalima-e-Shahaadat[2]
(i.e. the words of Shahaadat). [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.343]
[1]
Since the words of Tashahud are expressions of
Glorification and Salaam and not merely depicting the incident of the Me’raj,
then to call out to Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی
علیہ وسلم, which the wahabiya (wrongly)
regard as Bid’at and shirk; is so clearly permissible and it is actually Waajib
in Namaaz (to do so).
[2]
If one repeats the words, اَلسَّلَامُ
عَلَیْکَ اَیُّھَا النَّبِیُّ in this situation, there is also no objection to it. [Fatawa
Razviyah vol.3 pg.314]
