Ash-Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan, hafidahullah, was asked the following,
Question:
“What is the ruling on making a call for the night prayer during Ramadan by saying ‘Salaatul Qiyaam athaabakumullah’? Please clarify the ruling for us and may Allah reward you with good.”
Answer:
“This has no basis for it [from the Deen]. This is an act of innovation. It is not permitted to make a call for the night prayer during Ramadan, no matter what words are used. This is not permissible.”
End.
Ash-Shaykh Bin Baz, rahimahullah, was asked the following question,
سماحة الشيخ! الذين ينادون في صلاة العيد وفي صلاة الاستسقاء بقولهم: الصلاة جامعة، هل عليهم في ذلك من شيء؟
Question:
Oh eminent Shaykh, in relation to those who make a call for the eid prayer and the rain prayer by saying: “as-Salaatu Jaami’ah”, would they be committing anything wrong by doing so?
الجواب: لا نعلم لهذا أصلاً، والذي ينبغي تركه؛ لأنه في الحد الشرعي من البدع، فلا ينبغي أن يقال: الصلاة جامعة، ولا صلاة العيد، ولا صلاة التراويح، كل هذا لا ينبغي، إنما يقال هذا في صلاة الكسوف: الصلاة جامعة فقط،جاء في الحديث الصحيح عن رسول الله ﷺ: أنه أمر أن ينادى …. الصلاة جامعة هذا خاص بالكسوف. نعم.
Answer:
We do not know of any basis for this [action] and what is more appropriate is that it be left off since it falls islamically under what is defined as an innovation. Therefore, it is not appropriate to say ‘as-Salaatu Jaami’ah’, whether it be for the Eid prayer or for the Taraweeh prayer. This is all inappropriate. Rather, saying ‘as-Salaatu Jaami’ah’ is only said for the eclipse prayer. It has been reported in an authentic hadith that the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that the wording ‘as-Salaatu Jaami’ah’ be called out and this was specific to the eclipse [prayer].”
End. [Reference]
