Salamalaykum akhi,
Sitting Etiquette:
Kneel on one’s shins and front of the feet OR
Keep the right left upright and sit on the left
can you please quote the relevant hadith for the above sitting etiquette?
assalam alaikum student of knowledge :)
suggestion please, to put the references at the bottom as it ruins the flow of the article with so many inline links
jazakAllahu khaira katheeran!
@Imtiaz, Jazakallah Khair. I found this in the referenced Darus Salam book “More than 1000 Sunan for Every Day & Night”. The author brings evidence for most of the topics. However, in regards to the description of sitting while eating, he mentions that this is preferred as explained by Ibn Hajar in Fath Al Baree. So I have removed the description for now, until we find the full details of the issue
WaAllahuAalam
@Abdullah
What would you suggest? How can we link each item with the corresponding evidence hadith? Also link the relevant dua from makedua with each item. Should we use footnore kinda idea i, ii, iii ?
ok I added some javascript to toggle evidences :)
this is nvery nice every-one should obey.
