Salam bro,
First, let me ask, are you following the hanbali madhab?
The hadith you are quoting, in fact the site you are quoting, most salafis follow this, why? Because it’s convenient for them. The site also mentions that if Eid falls on a Friday, the Jumaah salaat is not obligatory.. That was the view of Imam Ahmad. BUT keep this in mind, Imam Ahmad was a scholar, a scientist, he understood deen more than we as a group ever will. On this point, scholars mention that the time of Prophet (pbuh), the villagers and people from out of city used to come for Eid prayer, that is why the Prophet(pbuh) used to say to THOSE people tha if you wish you can leave or stay and listen to the khutbah. Same thing for the hadith about jummah coinciding with eid day, since it is not wajib on the villagers …he prophet(pbuh) said if you wish to leave, then leave, jummah is not wajib on you..
also
Usman (radiallanhu) said..
Anyways, the point is, if we start picking and choosing from our deen, then we will no diffrent than those christians and jews who took what they liked, what they found convinient…and what happened? They have lost touch with Allah and His deen!!
Bro, this last bit was not directed at you but to myself first and to the rest of brothers n sisters..
Nice point but not clearly driven though. I think its not about taking bits and pieces of religion but rather using a ruqsah when you have no need for it (or are not genuinely in a situation where it is justified) and then justifying our lack of passion for deen as something we are allowed to do.
Many of us tend to remove all the conditions with the allowances we have been granted in our deen and take those allowances as universal or unconditional.
I agree with what you intend to say. Good point.
