#FatwaMonday – Kissing the Mushaf?

December 25, 2015 by Sajid Umar 1 Comment

#FatwaMonday (Delayed)

Question:

​Sheikh Sajid Umar, I have a habit of kissing the Mushaf after reciting it and was told today that doing so is an innovation. I have never heard this and request ​some clarification. Jazakallah.

Answer:

باسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وأصحابه ومن والاه

May Allah bless you.

The scholars have varying views with regards to the described practice with the mushaf. The preferred opinion, in my humble view, and Allah Almighty knows best, is that it is better to leave this practice. If one has a habit of doing it however as a form of exaltation whilst not believing it to be a sunnah; I would not call this an innovation and would advise that this act not be a consistent recurring practice to avoid others adopting this as a constant practice believing it to be a sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ

Before ending off I would like to remind myself and every reader that true exaltation of the book of Allah Almighty happens in the form of us reciting it daily and studying it to the best of our ability. It is no doubt better for you to understand much of the Qur’an as opposed to kissing it whilst having little knowledge of it’s teachings.

May Allah Almighty raise us all with the family of the Qur’an on the day of Judgement. Ameen.

Your brother,

Sajid Umar

    Assalmu’alaikum Sheikh,

    I have just attended your 2 day talk in Kuala Lumpur on the 99 Names of Allah. Truly, it was inspiring and has given me much to reflect upon and In sya Allah, act upon. I pray that Allah always preserves you and your family.

    Today, under the theme “Mercy and Compassion”, you mentioned that Allah swt said “Seek forgiveness for your sins and consider it forgiven”. However, I have been told and have also read that if your sins are with a person, you must ask for forgiveness from that person and if the person does not forgive you of your sins, then your sins are not forgiven. Is there any truth to this? I understand you have taught us that Allah will always forgive so long as you repent and ask; and that He is ever so merciful but I cannot help but wonder on the above question as it is something I have heard so many times.

    I hope you can help clarify it for me. Jazakallah khair.
