THE HONOURABLE SHAIKH MAAHIR MAIQILY IS A MUSAAFIR
----------------------------------------------------------
REPEAT YOUR ZUHR AND ASR SALAAT!

On Wednesday, 22 March, 2012, the Honourable Imaam of Musjidul Haraam, led Zuhr and Asr Salaat.  The Honourable Imaam combined Zuhr and Asr  Salaat, performing two raka'ts for Zuhr and two raka'ts for Asr.

Residents – those who are muqeem or not musaafir – had also joined  in and performed  Zuhr and Asr behind the Honourable Imaam. The Ruling in terms of both the Hanafi and Shaafi' Math-habs for the residents is as follows:

Both Zuhr and Asr Salaat were not valid for them. It is Fardh for the Hanafis and Shaafis to repeat (make Qadha) of the Zuhr and Asr Salaat of that particular day (Wednesday 22nd).

THE REPREHENSIBLE TREATMENT METED OUT TO THE HONOURABLE SHAIKH MAAHIR MAIQILY
On Wednesday, 22 March 2012,  the Honourable Shaikh Maiqily attended a jalsah organized by  At-Tauheed Centre at the Civic Centre in Lenasia South. Due to the unpredictable idiosyncrasies of the human alimentary canal, the Honourable  Shaikh developed an imperative need to  pay a visit to the Baitul Khala or the House of Necessity where offensive material is off-loaded unceremoniously.
However, the uncultured organizers of the  jalsah deemed it appropriate to physically prevent the Honourable Imaam Saahib from responding to the natural summons of the forces controlling his alimentary canal  In simple  terms, they did not allow the Honourable Shaikh to go to the toilet  despite him having expressed his urgent desire for executing this lawful mission.
The organizers of the jalsah were more concerned with their  jalsah items. They insisted that the Honourable Shaikh should  witness each and every item of the jalsah and to hell with the urgent natural call of nature. The Honourable Shaikh was thus compelled to sit through the farcical proceedings in great discomfort.
The bottling up of the offensive matter in the alimentary canal was the direct cause for the  indisposition  of the Honourable Shaikh, which led to the cancellation of  the Honourable Shaikh's  next two or three  programmes.  The organizers of the jalsah have the obligation of apologizing to the Honourable Shaikh for the zulm  they have committed on the noble Imaam of Musjidul Haraam.  Was-salaam
