Sunnahs and manners of applying oil and combing hair

Dear Islamic brothers! Let’s listen to Sunnahs and manners of applying oil from the booklet ‘163 Madani Phool’, written by Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه:

  ٭Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُ has said that the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would often apply oil to the blessed head and comb the blessed beard and he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِـهٖ وَسَـلَّم would often put a cloth over the blessed head, even to the extent that the cloth used to remain dampened with oil.      (Ash-Shumaail-ul-Muhammadiyyah, pp. 40)

  ٭When the one who uses mustard oil takes the cloth, cap or turban off, sometimes smell emanates. Therefore, whoever can afford, should apply fragrant oil to head. An easy way to make fragrant oil is to add some drops of your favourite ‘Itr into the bottle of coconut oil and dissolve it, fragrant oil is now ready to use. Wash the hair of head and beard with soap from time to time.

Announcement

Remaining Madani pearls of applying oil and combing hair will be mentioned in the Tarbiyyati Halqahs [learning circles]. Therefore, do attend these Tarbiyyati Halqahs in order to learn them.
