𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵❓
I would like to know the ruling
on messages in WhatsApp asking for forgiveness before the month of Ramadan
begins.
𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️
Praise be to Allah.
All righteous deeds – whether
they are acts of worship that are for Allah alone, may He be glorified and
exalted, such as prayer, fasting and so on, or are acts of kindness towards
other people – are all required at all times.
They are particularly encouraged
at times of virtue, and these times are only given virtue so that people will
compete at these times in doing all kinds of righteous and good deeds.
One of the righteous deeds that
are encouraged and enjoined is to forgive one another and dispel rancour.
It is proven from the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he said: “If one of you starts
his day fasting, let him not engage in any obscene or ignorant speech, and if
someone insults him or argues with him, let him say: I am fasting, I am
fasting.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1894) and Muslim (1151).
Hence, it is recommended for
people to refrain from persisting in disputes, settling scores with opponents
and answering back, and not to respond to offensive treatment in kind.
As the Muslim is striving to
increase his righteous deeds at those times, and there is the fear that rancour
may prevent his good deeds from being taken up to Allah, it is prescribed to
ask people to forgive him.
Muslim (2565) narrated from Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The people’s deeds are shown (to Allah)
twice every week, on Mondays and Thursdays, and every believing slave is
forgiven, except a slave between whom and his brother there is some grudge. It
is said: Leave these two until they reconcile.”
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah
have mercy on him) said: Undoubtedly conflicts and disputes among people are a
cause of good being withheld. The evidence for that is the fact that the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) went out one night to his
companions in Ramadan, to tell them about Laylat al-Qadr, but two men among the
Sahaabah were arguing, so the knowledge of when it was in that year was taken
away.… Therefore the individual should strive not to have any resentment in his
heart towards any of the Muslims.
End quote from al-Liqaa’
ash-Shahri, no. 36.
The one who spreads a spirit of
tolerance, asks people to forgive him and strives to right wrongs and to fulfil
his duty towards others, and encourages others to do that, in Ramadan or
otherwise, is undoubtedly following righteousness and doing good.
CONCLUSION
It is clearly recommended to ask
people for forgiveness and to try to right wrongs at this special time.
There does not seem to us to be
anything wrong, in sha Allah, with point this out on these occasions, or
reminding others of that and encouraging them to do it.
And Allah knows best.
