Beating Pot On Member-e-Rasool?
It is not a matter of Halal-Haram, but rather a matter of etiquettes. Before commenting on such matters, we need to first study the whole incident as to its how , where , when and why . In the absence of complete information, it is not appropriate to give a blanket statement in this regard. A few principles should be kept in mind though: – There is no absolute prohibition of music or beating pots in Islam. Many scholars give sermons in a melodious voice in different mosques across the Pakistan. Also there is no prohibition of reciting Naats in a mosque. – The custodianship of mosques in Islam is given in the hands of the state. Because of non-application of this principle, many such objectionable incidents happen. Mosques do have a certain sanctity that need to be observed and states can ensure that provided they have administrative control of the mosques. – If it was a sermon of Friday, then as per established Sunnah of the Prophet, there are two sermons of Juma ; the first one is for reminder (tazkeer-o-Nasihat) and the second one is for praise of Allah (hamd-o-sana) and for Prayers (‘dua‘) . – If some Imam is seen violating any of above requiements and has shown non-seriousness in this regard, then he should be advised in a civil manner to be more careful in fulfilling the reqirements of the sermon and that he should also be respectful to the emotional sensitivities of the Muslims.
