Question
Is it necessary to kiss the fingers and rub the eyes with the fingers after hearing the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) Mubarak during the call to prayer? Some people in our area do this and if someone doesn't do it, they call him a Wahhabi. What is the Shari'ah ruling on this? 4793973932
Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
Kissing the finger and putting the eye on the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) during the call to prayer is not proven by any Marfoo Saheeh hadeeth. It is wrong to consider this work as sunnat. However, some scholars in the past have done this as a treatment to relieve eye pain and increase vision. Yet if one does this for the benefit of the eyes without giving importance to Sunnah or Mustahab, then one can do so. But the condition is that if someone does not do it, he will not feel bad and will not be able to say Wahhabi etc. If he thinks it is bad or says Wahhabi etc., then it will become completely Haram and Najaiz. Because it is not permissible to go too far with mustahab. And this period is not desirable. Rather, it is just a kind of treatment. So it is extremely foolish to exaggerate. 4341238777
