 أردت أن أسأل لك شيء أكثر من ما I've noticed between me and my friends who are not Shi'a بعد that we perform the second Sujood, we get up and we go back to the resting position and then we go for Qayam, then we stand up and I've noticed my friends who are not Shi'a in the first Raqaa, if there's no Tashakhud after the second Sujood they get up and they stand up straight away so could you explain in terms of what they say, I'll say the larger what he has to say in regards to this in the first and third Raqaa of the Salaa where there are no Tashakhud except the third Raqaa of Maghrib that's the exception, but in overall it's not Tashakhud in between as floors of the house must sit up after the second Sujda the third says it's as a precaution that you must sit up let's say for 2 seconds 3 seconds, motionless stationary and then you get up for the next Raqaa unlike as we've mentioned other sects of Islam when they quickly from the Sujood they get up and head for the next Raqaa without any resting position as it's mentioned the name of this act in Salaa جلسة الاستراحة or جلوس الاستراحة so you sit for a few seconds you take a rest and then you get up for the next Raqaa we had similar thing in between the two Sujda so when you head up from the first Sujda you also sit for 2 seconds 3 seconds and you go back to the Sujood again for the second Sujda here is no after the second Sujda and before going to the next Raqaa so you must sit up for 2-3 seconds and you take a rest and then you get up for the next Raqaa it's a Wajib and unlike other sects who would not consider it as a Wajib what for us we have to sit up as a resting position and then head for the next Raqaa شخناء you said that Sujood is a Roqa of Salaa what if one person cannot perform the Sujood for whatever reason is he allowed to abort it is he allowed to leave it out of the prayer if one is not able to perform the Sujood fully in other words to bow down all the way and place his forehead on the ground on the Turba in this case he does his best as much as he can to reach the Turba however if there are let's say for example pains in the back on the neck for example there are injuries for example and he's not been able to reach the ground with his forehead then he can place his forehead on an elevated Turba so he raises the Turba up he puts it on a chair or a table and he prays on the Turba he prays on that Turba which is elevated and raised on a table and such like that's a solution for those who cannot perform the full Sujood although they can perform other acts in Salaa like رقوع like standing upright for example all are fine it's just the Sujood you just have to raise the position of the Turba and pray on it and of course it is wajib for them to put all the other six massage on the ground so both palms on the ground the two big toes of the feet on the ground what else we had the two knees again on the ground they all must be on the ground as well it's just a forehead that requires a bit of elevation of the Turba from the ground that's fine they can perform the Salaa in this way أحسنت ما شاء الله شيخنا what's the ruling if one raises his head from Sujood in voluntary this might happen sometimes for those who some people who might be praying fast so they actually heading down from رقوع towards the Sujood sometimes they would bang their forehead on the Turba on the ground and that causes bouncy bouncing his head on the ground if the head bounces on the Turba the first second or time in which the head touches the Turba and is removed from the Turba without the control of that person he should try to actually avoid reaching the Turba again okay so that's counted as one Sujood although he had said nothing no the curve nothing just you know placing the head on the Turba yes and then removing without his control bouncing on the Turba in this situation he must make sure that it doesn't reach the ground again okay because that's count as first Sajda yes so he sits up and then he goes back to the second Sajda however if he has no control or she has no control and that individual touched the Turba twice you know it's like bouncing twice on the Turba without his control the second Sajda is also done bouncing so in this situation it's all counted as one Sajda and he sits up again or she sits up again and they perform the second Sajda and that should be fine masha'Allah I've never gone through that experience but we do encourage our viewers please do not rush the Salah and make sure you take your time and etiquette and you know while you're and I mean take precaution while you're praying your Salah and insha'Allah you won't have any problems insha'Allah إخنا it is very very well known that non sheers do not prostrate on a Turba but on carpet is there any circumstances where the sheers are allowed to prostrate to perform Sujood on the carpet we have a secondary role or حكم ثانوي as the ulama state in their fiqi books and that is تقية تقية is to conceal conceal your own faith when there's a danger your life is threatened and you try to protect yourself your blood yourself your family for example so you pretend to be like them like the other opposite an opponent sects of Islam or other religions for example in this case you can apply تقية with regard to prostration on the carpet yes if you are in the state of danger and you fear your life or your family life in this case you can prostrate on the carpet or rug as they do so and even you can even hand fold it you stand and you do the salah that's fine it's all part of the تقية you have no choice however if you see them praying on the straw mats the mats in which made by some of the trees by the leaves of some trees the palm trees by the branches or trees and so forth you must pray on that mat because that's what we are allowed to pray on these types of mats otherwise yes you can apply تقية in this situation and you pray on the carpet or the rug is there any issue with the color of the طربة changing I mean when you use a طربة I've had a طربة for quite a long time in my house and it's not it's not its original color it's a lot darker is there an issue performing سجود on that well it is mandatory and wajib that when the one prays in the salah there should be no obstacle between the forehead and the place of سجود in other words if you want to pray on the طربة you make sure there's no scarf on it let's say if you're wearing a hat yes it doesn't cover all your forehead you have to make sure that the forehead is visible yes if the sisters are wearing the بورق or the قاب for example they remove the part in which the forehead is and to allow the سجود to be done on the forehead and not on the نقاب or the بورق so anything else it could be a child covering the طربة with his hand for example so you have to make sure you pray on the clay or the soil or the طربة itself and nothing else on it and of course with regard to the color of the طربة if it changes that's fine as long as there is no mass that is visible and covering the طربة it's like the gel if you apply the gel yes let's say بازلين if you apply thick gel and you can see there's a a cover of mass and thick oily material on that طربة then you can't pray on it but if it's just a color just a bit of a few just a bit of in the remaining of the foreheads let's say oil and so forth you know the sweat and so forth that's fine but if it's constituted of a thick mass of dirt then you have to remove it with the sand you know sandpaper exactly the sandpaper and then that should be fine that's sand شخنة what we do so Jude is it important that that area is طاهر طاهرة is one of the main conditions in every worship you must be طاهر and pure in all the worships be it in Hajj be it in عمر when you go there to perform the طواف the daily prayers even fasting before you enter the day of fasting you must make sure the غسل واجب the جناب غسل for example and such like for the sisters the واجب غسل after their periods and so forth these are all واجبات for the purpose of the ibadah to be in a pure state so likewise yes the position of the sujood the tourbah or the clay you pray on or the wood or the grass you pray on must be طاهر and pure and if one side was نجس you can turn on and pray on the side in which it is طاهر that's fine so it's important that we have to consider أحسنت ما شاء الله شخنة what can we and what can we not perform sujood on well it's mandatory to perform the sujood on the soil initially the clay the soil the earth what is known as the earth itself that's واجب and of course anything that grows from this earth that cannot be eaten so the grass we don't eat the grass yes some of the the tree leaves that we don't eat for example the wood the branches and the twigs of the the trees for example I think that I think that we don't eat also we don't wear them okay so so fabrics mainly fabrics we wear them usually yes you know we cannot pray on them so that's the issue just a quick question it's a personal one are we allowed to do sujood on because because a cake is a stone but we wear that stone so are we allowed to do sujood on it? no we cannot but there's exception I'll come inshallah later on but as a first initial hukum you cannot pray on them anything you wear even metal yes they use it as a shield they wear it in war yes in battlefield for example I mean anything you look around you the gold the silver you're not allowed to pray on them but other than the earth itself the earth and other materials in which are grown from the earth then we can even sometimes today's technology that they produce from for example from the cotton they produce a tissue for example yes you can't pray on tissue for example even made from cotton although you can't do sujood on cotton because it's it's fabric it's worn exactly but you can't pray on the tissue itself yes on the paper you know the piece of paper you can pray on for example on the wood and so forth so Shayna my next question is then what is the best and most highly recommended thing to post straight on? the most recommended and rewarding حديث صادق عليه السلام with this regard he says إن السجود على تربة أبي عبدالله عليه السلام يخرق الحجب السبعة he says prostrating on the clay or the sand or the soil of أبي عبدالله أي ألحسين in كربلا yes عليه السلام removes the seven veils there are seven veils between us and the throne of Allah in which the عمال and especially the praise when they are raised by the angels when we pray the angels raise this this deed towards Allah so the best way to make sure that it reaches to that level and stage and breaks through and penetrates through the seven veils of Allah he puts then is to prostrate and do the سجود on تربة الحسين عليه السلام which is brought from كربلا I said ما شاء الله ما شاء الله you know this is amazing how important and how blessed is you know the the earth and the land of كربلا where أبي عبدالله عليه السلام he sacrificed his life for this religion thank you very much شيخنا for another wonderful episode and thank you to all the viewers for joining us إن شاء الله سلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
