CALLING ‘AS-SALATH JAMIAH ‘FOR SALATUL KASOOF’
By: Allama Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullah Bin Baz
QUESTION: It occurs in Hadith that announcement for “Salatul Kasoof” will be made by calling “As-Salatu-Jamiah.” Shall this statement be called only once or repeatedly. Further, if repetition is a requirement of Shriah, what are limitation of this repetition?
ANSWER: It is proven from the Tradition of the Holy Prophet (may blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) that he (may blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) ordered to make announcement for Salat-ul-Kasoof by calling “As-Salatu-Jamiah”. The tradition is such that the announce will repeat this statement time and again, till the time that he is sure that people have listened the announcement. To that extent of our knowledge, no limits are fixed for this repetition. However, Allah is the supporter of the adaptation.
