            CHAPTER 10: THE TENTH STATEMENT
            "Prayers are not obligatory on the wives; Do not pray." 



              
            The knowledgeable and the lay Muslim alike, whether male or female, 
            know Allah decreed the five prayers as obligatory. The one who 
            denies its obligation or the obligation of even one rak^ah of it is 
            undoubtedly judged as a blasphemer, as was mentioned by Ibn Hajar 
            al-Haytamiyy in his book "Al-I^lam" and others. Allah said:
             
            (Al-Baqarah, 43)
            which means: [Perform the prayers.] Imam Ahmadnarrated that the 
            Prophet said:
             
            which means: <<Allah made five prayers obligatory on the slaves.>> 
            The nation holds the consensus on that and it is known by young and 
            old alike.
             
            Despite the explicit texts and the consensus of the nation, when one 
            of Nazim Qubrusi's students asked him, "What are our wives' 
            responsibilities?" He answered (page 70-71, MercyOceans):  
                "Three times shahada, every day, and to be clean always. And, 
                for beginners, one sajdah, five times a day, at the time of the 
                regular prayers. At each prayer, only one sajdah. It is enough." 
                [A student questioned:] 
                "What if they want to do the whole prayer; is it all right?"
            [He answers:]
                "For beginners, one sajdah is enough. As they are stepping 
                forward, they will ask. This command is from my Grandshaykh. 
                Also, they should love only believers, not unbelievers. They 
                should sit with believers, and not with unbelievers." 
            Isay: This is a misguidance beyond any doubt. How could it be 
            anything else? The Prophet ordered us otherwise in his saying:
             
            which means: <<The most important matters of Islamare five: the 
            Testification of Faith, performing prayers,. . . >> Sheikh Qubrusi's 
            words mean the prayers are not obligatory on the wives. This is 
            something unheard of !!
