Also brother, some advice, the passage you have highlighted regarding 200 years ijma, is taken from Fatawa Rizawiya and the reference, given in Shaykh Saqib's book. Therefore, it would be best if you did not speak out against it.
I do not see the benefit of commenting further on this subject when people who have not read the book are criticising Shaykh Saqib and not realising that in reality, they are criticising the passages from Fatawa Rizawiya of Ala Hazrat ra.
Brother Unbeknown, I would request you to read the book again, and for those who have not read it but are passing judgements already (perhaps propelled by their personal vendetta against Shaykh Saqib), please read the book in its entirety.
If you do not understand certain aspects, or feel that certain rulings are against the frame works of Ahlus Sunnah, go and meet with Shaykh Saqib, the way I did – I had no problem in meeting with him on several occasions to discuss the book, seek clarification from the author, after all it is a specialist subject. Failing that, you can seek a fatwa from a Mufti against him?
Brother 'unbeknown' I am dumbfounded by your response. Raza Academy, Mumbai, published 1000 copies of this book. Before publishing, the book was presented to Hazrat Taj ush Sharia - Perhaps you know better than the specialists, that belong to this field?
according to Waqarul Fatawa (volume 1, pg 167), a prayer behind someone who listens to qawwali is makrooh and must be repeated.
for the sake of argument, even if you ignore the poor mr.harmonium and make it halal, does the maslak e iytidal permit the rest of the samaa (atmosphere) in the so-called majlis-e-sama'a?
fussaq who sing fasiq poetry otherwise, become devout naat-singers with mr.harmonium of course. so under the guise of (regardless of its being a contention) permitting mazameer, they permit the whole thing.
all that remains is break-dance that tahir permitted as raqS.
okay. alahazrat and taj al-shariah's position are clear.
let's hear more excuses and more endorsements.
Before publishing, the book was presented to Hazrat Taj ush Sharia - Perhaps you know better than the specialists, that belong to this field?
You’re throwing a lot of stuff around. Do you have proof of this? Being presented a book and being asked to endorse a book are different things completely. You expect us to believe that Huzur Tajush Shariah (hafizahullah) was presented this book and he agreed with its contents?
add the following:-
men wearing gaudy embroidered clothes, looking like women: everyone does it - they still look like men!
men wearing dupattas: so what, he still looks like a man!
photography (youtube, TV et al) even when not forced by law: hey, there is ikhtilaaf on this - that digital is NOT considered a photo!!!
banners and posters with photographs - not digital: this is the need of the times; let's forget the hukm of the hadeeth for the noble cause!
spending 2 hours doing make-up to appear before TV; aw - come-on! this is part of the job!.
the list is growing:-
prostration to the peer sahab: bro, there is ikhtelaf in this too!
free mixing of sexes in religious gatherings: check history - women were allowed to come to mosques earlier!
reply to the claim that Alahazrat is alone in declaring fist-full beard wajib:
