Laws of Jurisprudence
Law: To make Qailullah[1]
is permissible, and actually Mustahab. [Alamgiri]
Perhaps this is for those who stay up
performing Namaaz at night, engrossed in Zikr-e-Ilahi[2],
or those who spend (lengthy periods at night) going through Kitaabs or those
engrossed in studying religious literature, so that the fatigue that is felt
from staying awake at night may be alleviated through Qailullah.
Law: To sleep at the start
of day or to sleep between Maghrib and Esha is Makruh. In sleeping, it is Mustahab
(desirable) to sleep with Tahaarat (wudu) and to sleep for a short while on the
right side, by keeping the right hand under the cheek, facing the direction of
the Qibla, thereafter one may sleep on the left side. When going to sleep, think
about sleeping in the grave, as there, you will have to sleep all alone. With
the exception of your A’maal (deeds), no one else will be with you. When going
to sleep, engross yourself in the remembrance of Allah. Recite Tahleel, Tasbeeh
and Tamheed[3] (i.e. recite the Kalima declaring
Oneness of Allah, Glorify Allah and Praise Allah), until you fall off to sleep
doing this, for a person rises in the condition in which he sleeps. A person
will be raised on the day of Qiyaamat in the condition in which he dies. Rise
before dawn after sleeping and on awakening, immediately remember Allah by
reading اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّـذِیْۤ اَحْیَانَا بَعْدَ مَآ اَمَا تَنَا
وَاِلَیْہِ النُّشُوْرُ . Immediately (after reading this), make a firm intention that you
will live piously and be Allah fearing and that you will not cause trouble to
anyone. [Alamgiri]
Law: There are three
circumstances related to conversing after Namaaz-e-Esha: (1) The first is
pertaining to knowledgeable discussions. This is to query regarding an Islamic
Ruling from someone, or to give the answer to an Islamic query or to do research
or analysis regarding it. This type of discussion (conversation) is more
virtuous than sleeping. (2) The second is pertaining to narrating false stories and tales, clowning
and sitting around making jokes. This is Makruh. (3) The third is
pertaining to having mutual conversations, such as between husband and wife, or
to have a conversation with a guest to make him feel welcome. This is
permissible. When having such conversations, then end them with the remembrance
of Allah and by making Tasbeeh and Istighfar (repenting from all sins).
Law: For two men to sleep
naked, covered with one sheet is not permissible, even if one is sleeping on
one end of the bed and the other is on the other end of the bed. Similarly, it
is also not permissible for two females to sleep naked, covered in one sheet. The
prohibition regarding this has been mentioned in the Hadith.
Law: When a boy and a girl
reach the age of ten, they should be made to sleep separately. In other words
when a boy becomes grown up, he should not be allowed to sleep together with
his mother or sister or with any other woman. He can only sleep together with
his wife or with his handmaid (Baandi). Actually a boy of that age should not
even be allowed to sleep together with boys of the same age or with other men
as well. [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Raddul Muhtar]
Law: When a husband and
wife sleep on one bed, then they should not allow a ten year old child to sleep
with them. When a boy reaches the age of lust, then his ruling is the same as
that of an adult male. [Durr-e-Mukhtar]
Law: None has the right to
leave the (common) road and walk (i.e. to trespass) on the property belonging
to someone else. However, if there is no road there, then he may walk on the
property, until such time that the owner of the property prohibits it. One is
not permitted to walk on that property (if prohibited by the owner). This rule
is only pertaining to a single particular individual. However, if there are
many people (walking there), then unless the owner of the property is not
pleased with it, they should not walk there. If there is water on the road and
the property is alongside the road, (then) in such a situation one may walk
there. [Alamgiri]
The land is already cultivated at times, and it is obvious that
walking there causes loss to the farmer. In such a circumstance, one should never
trespass (walk there). At times the farmers even place thorns alongside the
edges where there is likelihood of (people) trespassing. This is clear proof
that he is prohibiting anyone from walking there, but some people do not even
take heed to this. They should know that to walk there in such a condition is
prohibited.
