GHEEBAT (BACKBITING) AND ITS TREATMENT: 17 (a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB)

 It is Fard (Compulsory) to pray Salah on time

 

For example, a doctor’s wife told me that “my husband is a very good person but he does not pray Salah during clinic timings. I say to him that when the Salah time comes during clinic hours, just pray it then. But he replies that ‘I am serving people and this is part of Huqooq al-Ibad (rights of people). How can I start praying when patients are sitting in clinic?’ Therefore, when he comes home at night after finishing the clinic, then he prays Asr, Maghrib and Isha all at the same time. He says, ‘I am serving humanity, and if you Qada (delay beyond prescribed times) Salah because you are serving human beings, then there is no harm in it.’”
