\n\tAnswered by <\/strong>Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs 40 days Tabligh derived from the Quran or Hadith<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is not clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran that one should go for 40 days Tabligh. However, 40 days holds a significant importance in our Deen, in terms of it being a number which builds about a change in a person.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFor example, in the Holy Quran Allah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu said:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"We appointed 40-nights for Musa." (Surah Baqarah v.51)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFurthermore, it is mentioned in a hadith narrated by Saaiduna Anas Bin Malik \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu "<\/strong>Whoever prays to Allah for forty-days<\/strong> in congregation, reaching the opening Takbeer, will have immunity from two things: freedom from the Fire and freedom from hypocrisy." (Sunan Tirmizi)<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRegarding your second part of the question, spending time for Tabligh, just purely looking at it from a literal point of view will be considered as "fee-sabeelillah"<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tImam Bukhari \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h has mentioned a hadith that who so ever goes in the path of Allah (fee-sabeelillah) <\/strong>and dust gathers on their feet, then Allah will forbid the fire of Hell on them. (Sahih Bukhari p.124 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn this hadith Imam Bukhari has included the going towards the Jummah prayer as "fee-sabeelillah" (Inaamul Bari p.79 v.4)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom this we can derive that any travelling with the intention to gain nearness to Allah like seeking knowledge, purely from a literal point of view it will be considered as "fee-sabeelillah".<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
