f:156 - Reciting Fatiha
Country : India, Name : submittername
Question: What would be the reply to the person who says that reciting Fatiha and going to Dargah is Shirk?
.....................................................................................................................................
Answer:
Fatiha is in reality gifting of reward to others (Isaale Sawaab) and is established by the Hadith and visiting graves is a Sunnah. Declaring what is established by the Sunnah to be wrong is either ignorance or disobeying the Shariah. This in itself is a sin and invites the displeasure of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala). Calling this as Shirk is trying to slander Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala).
And Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) knows best.
