Question: In Cape Town a Salaatul Istisqa’ is being organized by a group at Masjidul Quds in Gatesville. Should we join this Istisqa Salaat? Please comment.

Answer: It is not permissible to join in a mock function plastered with an outer veneer which conveys the idea of the function being an Islamic one. The Islamic term, ‘Istisqa’ is deceptively used to entice ignorant and unwary Muslims to participate in a haraam function.

The function contemplated by the wayward group is bereft of even a semblance of a genuine Salaatul Istisqa’. These morons have heard the word, ‘Istisqa’, but lack understanding of what exactly Salaatul Istisqa’ is. They are ignorant of the conditions and etiquettes and circumstances necessary for a valid Salaatul Istisqa’.

IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE TO JOIN IN THIS MOCKERY OF ISLAM. THE FUNCTION CALLED ‘ISTISQA’ BY THE MISCREANT GROUP IS A MOCK ‘PRAYER’ ORGANIZED AS A PURE PUBLICITY STUNT.
