Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, a Barelvi cleric and the president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, took part in the celebrations on the International Day of Yoga at the Grand Mufti House near Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat.

"I have supported yoga but opposed Surya Namaskar. Muslims cannot perform Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar is an act within yoga. Every man and woman should do yoga. Yoga should be done in madrasas and mosques too. But Surya Namaskar is bowing to the sun, worshipping the sun. Islam forbids all these things."

salam
but maulana sikandar warsi sahab said it is permissible because you don't have to do it facing the sun and can do it opposing it.
so would kufr be an appropriate ruling considering the difference of opinion? I don't think even maulana shahbuddin sahab called it kufr in the article۔

Bro please stick to good old fashioned knuckle push ups, decline push ups, and clap push ups and don't use steroids. You'll be in super shape and won't have to bother with this qn ever again, trust me.

On another note, even Kung fu, ninjitsu, samurai sword fighting, tai chi etc are related to japanese and Chinese religions and temples.

With all due respect hazrat, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. My point was regarding declaring it kufr. You titled this thread "yoga ok but surya namaskar is kufr" and I said that in light of the difference of opinion would it be appropriate to declare it kufr when even mawlana shahabuddin sahab didn't declare it such.

Apologies but I didn't quite get what you meant here. Do you mean that they are kufr as well? If so then couldn't one make the same argument for yoga (which you called fine)? Couldn't one also say that the parts which don't involve worshiping buddha (or whatever buddhists do, since I am assuming most, if not all of these, are of buddhist origin) are okay but the ones that don't aren't

I came across this as well.
A few questions arose in my mind after watching this.
1) Is this okay? Is this disrespect of wudhu?
2) is it okay to say "activating the energy of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam"?
3) Is it okay to do this in the masjid? I have heard that wrestling which was performed in the blessed time of the best of creation sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam was due to training for jihad.

Here is another one which explains more clearly what this martial arts is about.
The first time i saw this was here on eventbrite, posted by guidanceHub:

Bro, my contention: Mawlana called it "haram" only in light of the media consumption. It will be kufr if consciously done in the direction of the sun as the mushrikeen do it as their ritual, it is similar to greeting their idols.

As the other mawlana said, doing it in another direction would make it just an ordinary exercise.

No I just noted a point that they too have their linkages to other far eastern mushrikeen and their temples. Any specific religious ritual of theirs too would be kufr. You might know that Muslims who learn martial arts, dont bow to their opponents, just nod the head or something.

if done as imitation then it is biddah - prophet forbade imitating ways of mushrikeen in Hadith Dhat al Anwat. With intention of tazeem for sun it is Kufr. With intention of worship on basis of creed it deserves ... Its Shirk.

Forbidden to worshio at time of sunrise. Surya Namashkar typically was done at the time of sunrise. It was way to worship sun back in the day. So least judgement on it is Biddah.

I wouldnt perform Yoga if people paid me to stand still calling it, yoga yakti stance. You ill revert to reliogion of ur fore fathers... Arabs will go for their forefathers n our forefathers were Hindus we will return to that root ... Yoga is just one step maybe first step toward that ...

You will revert to religion of ur fathers Hadith ... In my understanding is in context of world wide phenomena ... European turning to atheism n than back to 'spiritual practice of ancestors' that Christianity wiped out. I see small communities in rural areas begining to return to celebrating winter solstice n other pre christian paganism.

Ummah as whole will remain free from the Shirk mentioned in Hadith ... Wind ... Will blow take life of all Muslims n Momins ... Then people. Will revert to religion of their ancestors ... Some of these people who will do that, will be born raised muslims but who would leave Islam.

Long story short yoga a step closer to ... Halle luya Krihna mata kaali ... Har har cow god ... Crap will become norm in pakistan bamgladesh ...
 
This is a scan page from a book of the BAMS syllabus (Roga Nidana). In it, it is written:
“It is accepted that Almighty God resides in the nadis (pulse); that is, Brahmā resides in the vāta nāḍī, Śaṅkara resides in the pitta nāḍī, and Viṣṇu resides in the kapha nāḍī.”
If an examiner asks a question on this and a student writes the same answer in the examination, what would be the ruling of Sharīʿah regarding that student?

Judgment is based on BELIEF/CREED person professes with tongue and instilled in heart and mind. By answering any exam questions as you have been taught warrants no blame, or detriment to your Aqeedah.

However IF you make Niyyah - O Allah I learn about Hinduism so that I can REFUTE it more intimately. You will be absolved of any and every wrong doing, IF there is any wrong doing.
