QASR AT NYSC ORIENTATION CAMP AND DURING SERVICE YEAR :A CRITICAL ANALYSIS

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DURATION IN WHICH A TRAVELLER IS ALLOWED TO OBSERVE QASR WHILE ON A JOURNEY

By Rasheed Adekunle Haashim

INTRODUCTION

Qasr has been technically defined as the shortening of the obligatory prayers of four Rakats to two Rakats while on a journey. This is enjoyed by travellers alone. It is only applicable to Zuhr, Asr and Ishai prayers. There are avalanche of evidences for its legality in Al-Qur’an, As-Sunnah and the deeds of our pious predecessors(Salaf). Imam Ibn Qudamah in his book Al-Mughni volume 3 page 105 has even reported the consensus of the Muslim scholars that a traveller is allowed to shorten four Rakats prayers to two Rakats.

There are certain rulings surrounding the observance of this Qasr such as traveling distance for Qasr, where does Qasrstart, the duration for Qasr among others. It is on these rulings surrounding the Qasr that Muslim jurists have presented divergent views. One of such rulings where much controversy has been expressed is the duration for which Qasr lapses. The question of how many days can a traveller observes Qasr after which he will complete Salat thus arises. The issue of the duration in whichQasr lapses has also generated a lot of arguments and controversies at different NYSC orientation camps among the Muslim corps members participating in the NYSC scheme on whether they can observe Qasr throughout the camp exercise or not? The writer of this article experienced this too during his NYSC camp activities and thereafter. Many questions relating to this have been asked by Muslim corps members especially those who have read my books: “ Travellers Guide” and “Facing the Challenges of the NYSC Scheme”. On the 22/04/2007, a Muslim corps member from Ebonyi State asked this question through text message: “What is the duration for which a traveller is allowed to pray Qasr?”. Another corps member on 01/05/2009 asked: “ Should Qasr and Jam’u(combination of two Salat) be observed during and after camp?” These are just parts of those questions being raised.

I now deem it fit to write something on the issue hopefully that Allah(S.W.T) through it may guide some Muslims (especially Muslim graduates participating in NYSC) to what is closer to His will.



THE DURATION FOR QASR: THE AUTHENTIC VIEW

It is a conspicuous fact that almost all Muslim corps members partaking in the NYSC Scheme are from different cities and towns other than their orientation camp. It is the NYSC Scheme that has brought them together for accomplishment of a task. They still maintain the name ‘travellers’. While at NYSC orientation camp for weeks or some days, the Muslim corps members would continue shortening the Salat for they are still on journey. The ruling is that whenever one is on a journey, one is still entitled toQasr. Likewise if one stays in a particular place for the accomplishment of a task without the intention of taking such place his residence, according to the most authentic view, one is still a traveller and entitled to Qasr even if he spends months there. This is the case for Muslim corps members too. There is no direct and authentic proof in the Qur’an and Sunnah stopping them from observing Qasr or restricting it to certain days, three, four, five, ten etc. The fact that the noble Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) had not observed Qasr for more than twenty days does not mean that one can not offer Qasr for more than such days, if the days of one’s journey are more than that. In fact, some learned Sahabah the like of Sa’d bn Abi Waqaas, Abdullahi bn Umar, Abdur Rahaman bn Samrah (R.A) etc. observed Qasr for more than twenty days as will be presented soon. This seems to be the correct interpretation to the different ahadith of the Prophet (S.A.W) and the deeds of his Sahabah on the issue. Here are some of those narrations.:



1. Ibn ’Abbas (R.A) narrated: “ The Prophet (SA.W) once stayed for nineteen (19) days and prayed Qasr. So when we traveled (and stayed) for nineteen days, we used to shorten the prayer but if we travelled (and stayed) for a longer period we used to offer the full prayer” (Bukhari No. 1080)

2. Yahya bn Abi Ishaq narrated: “I heard Anas (R.A) saying : “We travelled with the Prophet (S.A.W) from Madinah to Makkah and he offered two rakats (for every prayer) till we returned to Madinah. I asked : Did you stay for a while in Makkah? He replied: “We stayed in Makkah for ten days”. (Bukhari No. 1081 and Muslim No. 693).

3. Jabir (R.A) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) stayed for twenty days at Tabuk shortening the prayers”. (Abu Dawud No. 1235. Authenticated by Al-Albani in Irwa’ul Ghalil No. 574).



The hadith of Jabir just quoted has the highest number of days in which the Prophet (S.A.W) observed Qasr. Despite this, he did not legislate against observance ofQasr for more than those days. The narrations and practices of his companions corroborated that. Her are few of those narrations:

i Abdur Rahman bn Miswar narrated : “ We were with Sa’d (bn Abi Waqaas) (R.A) in Sham (Syria) for two months. We would complete the Salat and he would offerQasr” (Musannaf Abdir Razaaq No. 4350. Authenticated in Adabus-Safar wa ahkamuhu page 127 by Muhammad Al-Alawi).

ii. Nafi’u narrated: Ibn Umar stayed for six months at Azrebaijan offering two rakats, for there was snow blocking the pass.” (Baihaqi 3/152. Classed as Sahih by A-Albani in Irwa’ul Ghalil No. 577).

iii. Al-Hasan (R.A) related that we were with Abdur Rahaman bn Samrah (R.A) for two years in parts of Persian cities, and he would not combine Salat but did not offer more than two rakats”. (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaibah 2/454. Authenticated by Shaik Muhammad Al-Alawi in above quoted reference)

The above quoted narrations and others not quoted here – due to limited space – reveal that people on journey are entitled to Qasr as long as they retained the title 'traveller'. The Muslim corps members are entitled to this too while at NYSC orientation camp of twenty – one days or less as they do not intend taking that place their residence. Imam Ibnul Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah after he cited some of the narrations quoted above in his Zaadul Ma'ad volume 2 page 294 then remarked: "This is the guidance (Hadyu) of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) and his companions as you can see. And this is the correct stand".

VIEW OF MUSLIM SCHOLARS ON THE DURATION OF QASR

The early Muslim jurists have expressed more than ten different views on the duration for which a traveller is allowed to offer Qasr. The most prominent of those views are briefly presented here:

Imam Ahmad opines that one is entitled to Qasr if he intends to stay for four (4) days or less. In a case where he intends to stay for more than four days, he would observe complete Salat thereafter. In another view from Imam Ahmad, a traveller is entitled to Qasr if he intends to stay for period that will be sufficient to offer twenty – one (21) Salat after which he will offer full Salat. This view of Ahmad coincides with that of As-Shafii and Malik except that the day he (traveller) entered and the day he got out of such place would not be counted as part of those four (4) days.

Imam Abu Hanifah, Ath-Thawri and Al-Mazni were of the view that if one intends to stay for fifteen(15) days, he should complete the Salat. If he intends to stay for less than fifteen days, he should offer Qasr.

Al- Hassan and Qatadah hold that a traveller will continue shortening the prayer as long as he has not intended to stay permanently in a place. This view was later supported and strictly adhered to by Shaykul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and his student Ibnul Qayyim.

Ishaq bn Rahwayh asserts that if he intends to stay for nineteen (19) days or more, he would offer full Salat but if he intends to stay for what is less than that, he would observe Qasr. This same view has been authentically reported from Ibn Abbas (R.A) as contained in the hadith cited above.

Rabi'ah opines that if one intends to stay for a day and a night, he would offer full Salat.

Al-Hasan bn Salih's opinion was that if one intends to stay for ten days, he would offer complete Salat. The similar opinion has also been related from Ali bn Abi Talib (R.A).

Ibn Hazm Az-Zahiri opines that whether a traveller intends to stay or not, he is entitled to Qasrfor twenty (20) days after which he must complete the Salat.

All the aforesaid are some of the opinions presented by the early Muslim jurists on the issue in question. There are other views not presented in this write-up. Some of these opinions are closer to Sunnah than others.

THE GENESIS OF THE CONTROVERSIES

The genesis of all these divergent views among the early and present Muslim Scholars on the duration in which a Qasr is to be observed is that it is an issue on which direct texts are not found to establish a ruling. Islamic jurists only attempted to study and analyse various narrations in which the Prophet (S.A.W) observed Qasr and the days he spent. They later gave different interpretations to those narrations and based their divergent verdicts on their own understanding of those narrations. This is Ijtihad from them and a reward is certain as contained in a tradition from the Prophet (S.A.W). The beloved Prophet (S.A.W) has never said in any hadith to his followers that if you have travelled for so and so days offer full Salat. Likewise, he has never mentioned in any narration that one cannot observeQasr for more than the days he observed Qasr while on journey. The best guidance is the guidance of the Muhammad (S.A.W).

QASR AFTER NYSC ORIENTATION CAMP

The conditions of travellers vary from one to another likewise their rulings. Abu Abdir Rahman Muhammad Al-Alawi in his book Adabu- Safar wa ahkamuhu page 126 has highlighted four different categories of travellers and their various rulings as follows:

1. “A traveller that is proceeding without staying on the journey route, this kind of traveller will shorten the prayer. This is agreed upon by the scholars.

2. A traveller who does not intend to stay but expects accomplishment of a need, he says “ I will leave today or tomorrow”, this kind of a traveller too will shorten the Salat as agreed upon by the scholars.

3. A traveller that travels to a city but does not have the intention of such stay that will make him not to be on journey like the condition of the Prophet (S.A.W) in battles of conquest of Makkah and Tabuk. This person will offer Qasrwithout any specific time. This is the most authentic statement of the scholars..(This is similar to the condition of Muslim corps members while at NYSC orientation camp).

4. A traveller that travels to a city other than his own city but intends to stay there such stay that will make him not to be on a journey by taking that city as a place of residence for him. Such a traveller will offer full Salat and not Qasr for he is not a traveller. The pious predecessors used to change their residence by moving from one city to other seeking for knowledge. One of them may be given appellation of Al-Makkiy, Al-Madaniy or Ash-Shamiy and they would complete the Salat. One of them may even become Imam of the city he moved to with his intention to return to his original city, but since he had the intention of such stay that will make him not to be on a journey, he offered full Salat”.

Going through the classification given above, the condition of a Muslim corps member who is serving in a city other than his own city or that of a student who is studying in a town other than his own town is the same with the number 4 of classification above and thus takes its ruling. The ruling is that if such Muslim corps member or Mulsim student has settled and intended to stay in that environment, such stay that will make him not to be on a journey by taking that city as a place of residence for him, he will offer full Salat not Qasr. He can only offer Qasr after orientation camp before he gets settled or before he gets accommodation in that environment. He can as well observe Qasr whenever he travels out of his new place of residence for one activity or the others. The view presented here seems to be the most convincing to the present writer. This same view is held by some eminent contemporary scholars the like of Shaykh Nasirud-din Al-Albani, Shaykh Ibn Baz, Muhammad Al-Alawi, Abdullahi bn Salih Al- Abilan, Abu Malik Kamal bn As-Sayyid Salim and many others. Another point that makes this view more convincing is that both observance of Qasr and breaking of fasting in the month of Ramadan are two of the permissibilities while on a journey. If one is right at a particular point of time other is as well right. But one will not be comfortable telling those Muslim corps members who have settled in their new environment to be breaking fast during the month of Ramadan.

However, there is another view on this issue which says that a traveller will continue shortening the prayer as along as he has not intended to stay permanently in such a place. Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taimiyyah in volume 24 of his Fatawa has extensively argued for this view. The one presented above seems more convincing. Allah knows best.

CONCLUSION
From the foregone explanation, it is crystally clear that Muslim corps member are allowed to offer Qasr while at NYSC orientation camp. They can as well combine Zuhr and Asr or Maghrib and Ishai prayers together either during the time of the first one or the second one. This is known as Jam’u. They may as well limit themselves toQasr alone without Jam’u as Jam’u has a wider application than Qasr and it is not restricted to journey alone.

After camp, the most authentic view presented here is that they will offer full Salat after they have got settled in their new environment. This is what our research has revealed to us. Utmost respect is given to opinion of other scholars.

The writer of these lines has in no way claimed knowledge or perfection for himself as that belongs to Allah. He has only put together the views of eminent Muslim scholars on the issues and the ones that seem closer to the Sunnah of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Allah knows best and He is encyclopedia of knowledge, the Omniscient, the Omnipotent.

May He accept this little effort from us as an act of Ibadah and forgive our shortcomings.

Subhanaka Allahumo wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlailaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk.

please make findings again. it's not permissible to shorten solat during nysc orientation camp. some people might hold unto this your article which you will always have a share of their mistake.

ibkayee:
I will never endorse breaking another person's home

However, girls should not feel bad for not wanting a broke man.

Be 'patient' with an 'upcoming' Nigerian man at your own peril, 8.5/10 times he won't extend you the same privileges if he had the upper hand. Whilst he is with you at his lowest he is preparing himself for who he really wants, and you will find that the new girl sha has even higher standards than you.

I'm not totally against all cases of staying with a broke man because there will always be exceptions, but do at your own risk and most definitely don't feel bad about it or obligated.

When the sun shines it gives some people light while others receive opposite. Life is opportunity but I don't agree to this.

MrBrownJay1:
bro, if you cant cater for your own LIFE NECESSITIES (feeding/housing/clothing etc) then you are indeed a broke boy, regardless of what oloshos are doing.

Good one

They call us ''broke dudes'' because they hang out with married men that can buy them the latest samsung or iphones.

They call us "Dull boys'' because the married men don't last long in bed, still buy them lands and take them on vacations.

They call us ''Small boys'' because they hang out with people's husbands who have forgotten their duty to the women, which they swore on the alter to love and die for.

In the end of it all, they come back to us the broke ass, Bleep boys, small boys, and bug us for marriage....kolewerk!!!

E be like say una no sabi say we sef we be sugar daddy to some girls growing up, while you were busy looking for iphone, there is a little girl looking for just Tecno.

While you were looking for brazillian hair, there is a small girl looking for just #2,500 just to make her hair, so when you call us broke ass, someone out there is proud calling us daddy.

So, please don't be mad when you see your supposed hubby, getting married to a girl two times younger than you.

In all of these, remember there are 3 stages in a man's life:

Learning period
Earning period
Give back to the society
Can you be just patient when he's learning and earning a little till he has enough to give back to the society. A good man remembers a woman who has been through thick and thin with him.

Though and truthfully, life is not a bed of roses, so why run after what you don't need forgetting what is so essential to your life. Something that will diminish in no time.

So, think and look before you leap.

Tobechuckwu:

U said churches don't care about their members, please how much is ur offering in a year that u are running ur mouth?
Churches have been Donating nd giving their members foodstuffs since the start of lock down.
Go and join other religions to see what they are doing to their members.
Check out other religions to see what they've done so far?
Churches here nd there are the best thing to happen to Nigeria as a country, remove the impact of churches nd see what will be left of Nigeria.

Removing the impact of churches has no effect in the country. Arabian countries had no church but are doing fine than this sh**hole. I swear removing their impact will be good cos part of the problem of nigeria has been solved.

Ganiyu of abaranje

lovecode248:
It's really time to move on. I'm a single mother of one. 29years,
Never been married, setting up my own business and developing myself.

If you're matured, you also want to try to love again, you're ready for something serious, you're a Christian and you're sure you can have extra love to extend to my 6years old child without any sentiment, . Then, let's give it a try.
If you have a kid as well, it's fine.

Please, married men, guys looking for sugar mummy stay away.
Thanks

I think this really worth my comment despite that I dislike commenting

Everyone should stop dragging Islam to the topic. Whereas Muslims dislike it as well. Condemn the act and stop wailing About what the other will do.

Is this not the dino that said he will kill himself and put police in trouble

Dear Op,
It easy for people to tell you take the child and go to your parent's house,
1- You both have the child, it won't be easy to train the child alone, since he is not sending you out of the house and he his responsible for the upkeep don't leave the house.
2- This is just reality you have experienced, Remain with him, get a job after your baby must have grown enough, achieve your goals cos the only way you can get his attention is by becoming financially bouyant.
3- Don't leave his house except if he ask you to do so. Majority telling you to leave are single without experience, some even date married men.

I think he is defending his age

The world’s first self-flying taxi was launched at the Jumeirah Beach Park in Dubai, United Arab Emirates today. The Autonomous Air Taxi (AAT) of Dubai was the brainchild of Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA).

According to Dubai Media Office, the two-seater AAT, capable of transporting people without human intervention or a pilot, has been supplied by Volocopter, a Germany-based specialist manufacturer of automated air vehicles.

The AAT, expected to be put into use in the fourth quarter, is powered by electricity and is highly safe. Its design comprises 18 rotors to ensure secure cruising and landing in case of any rotor failure, said RTA.

“It is environment-friendly as it is powered by clean electricity, and it has very little noise. It has a maximum flight time of approximately 30 minutes at a speed of 50 km per hour, and a maximum air speed of 100 km per hour,” according to RTA.

“After the remarkable success of the first driverless metro in the region, we are glad to witness today the test flight of the Autonomous Air Taxi,” said Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum.

“This is another proof of our commitment to positive change. We are constantly exploring opportunities to serve the community and advance the prosperity and happiness of society,” he added.

Faleyimu had said that the Jenifa star should ‘ pray deeply so as to have children, because without special prayers, she won’t have a child before she dies. ’
Speaking with Encomium, the Minister said, “ Yes, it’s God that revealed to me that she’s destined to be famous and wealthy but no child, but if she’s very prayerful, she will eventually break the yoke of barrenness and become a mother .
“ That same message has also been repeated. Even, if she doesn’t seek the face of God, her enemies don’t want her to have a stable home despite the fact that she has remarried. That means the marriage can still crash unless she’s prayerful.
“ God has also repeated it this year, that for her to have a child, she needs to be closer to God. People are now attacking me here and there that why did I say that?
“ Some said I should have written a letter to her or invited her privately instead of making it public. But I am not a kind of prophet that predicts because of money. I am an anointed prophet. My calling is to deliver message as sent by God.
“ But some people don’t know the difference between prophets and anointed ones. It’s in the Bible and Qur’an how the prophets of God operate. They’re not prophets of nowadays that only came to collect money from the government, high and mighty in the society and others.
“ As a prophet, deliver God’s message and move on. You don’t need to be on anybody’s neck.
“ I read in one of these Yoruba magazines that Funke Akindele is waging spiritual war against me because of the prophecy; nothing can happen unless God didn’t send me.
“ I don’t regret on what I said. All she needs is to pray very well, I have nothing against her. I am 40 years as a prophet. That means I have been predicting since 40 years ago and I have never regretted any of my prophecies.
“ I am used to all these criticisms about my prophecies. Even, at times, some would curse me but at the end of it all, all I said will come to pass.
