The importance of studying religious knowledge

EXAMPLE OF ABAL-ABAL IJTIHAD: MAY CONTINUE EATING SAHUR AT Fajr ADZAN In the science of ushul fiqh, direct ijtihad in the Qur'an and hadith is the domain of scholars who are qualified with a heavyweight set of knowledge. Not all the so-called ulama are worthy of performing ijtihad, most of them are only worthy of joining the ijtihad of other scholars who are more expert. Moreover, it is not a cleric, then it is not the place to do ijtihad at all. If forced, it will become fake ijtihad. It is as if ijtihad when only the absurd exist. There is one example of fake ijtihad that usually appears every Ramadan, namely the question of being able to eat / drink during the dawn call to prayer. You can laugh, it's already dawn how come you continue eating? Hahaha ... Yes the name is fake too, naturally. This fake fatwa is based on the following hadith: إذا سَمِعَ أَحَدُكُمُ النِّدَاءَ وَالإِنَاءُ عَلَى يَدِهِ فَلاَ يَضَعْهُ حَتَّى يَقْضِىَ حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهُ "If one of you hears the call to prayer while the food container is in his hand, then don't let him put it down until he has finished his hajat (eating)." (Narrated by Abu Daud) "Well, it seems correct, isn't it that you can eat when you have the call to prayer? The Prophet himself said. You stupid people all this time even made a heresy to forbid what the Messenger of Allah did. Want to join ulama who are not infallible or follow Rasulullah That is? "Approximately this is the mind of the abal-abal mujtahid who felt that he had discovered a new hadith that he thought the scholars for 14 centuries did not know about it. In fact, an-Nida 'or the call to prayer there is not the dawn call to prayer as he thought, but the call to prayer from Bilal's best friend to wake people up before dawn. At the time of the Prophet there were two call to prayer; The first call to prayer is Bilal's adhan before dawn and the second is Ibn Ummi Maktum's call to prayer which is done at dawn.
Prophet Muhammad's instructions to his companions regarding each call to prayer are as follows: إِنَّ بِلاَلًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ ، فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُنَادِيَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ "Verily Bilal made the call to prayer at night, then keep eating and drinking until Ibn Ummi Maktum call to prayer". (Narrated by Bukhari) Well, obviously not, the Prophet Muhammad did not order people who want to fast to continue to eat and drink when they hear the sound of the dawn call to prayer. It is impossible for this to happen because the verse has so clearly stated the limits of permissibility to eat are as follows: حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ "And eat, drink until it is bright for you that the white thread of the black thread is dawn ..." (Surah Al-Baqarah: 187) So, where is it clear that it is not the fault of the fatwa to continue eating during the dawn call to prayer? That is an example of fake ijtihad performed by abal-abal mujtahid. If you find it milling about on WhatsApp, Facebook or other social media, then smile because you can be a witness to history that people pretend to know about religion exists.
