That Allaah guided me to Islaam or pardoned me from these desires.’

The Hurooreeyah were Extremists
The Consequences of leaving the Scholars
From Muhammad bin Sireen –rahimahullaah– who said: ‘Indeed there were a people who left seeking knowledge and the gatherings of the scholars. They took to praying and fasting a lot, so much so that their skins had become dried on to their bones
Then they opposed the Sunnah and they were destroyed. They spilt the blood of the Muslims.
I swear by Allaah whom there is none other worthy of worship, no one did an action based upon ignorance except that he caused more evil than rectification.’ [al-Istidhkaar by Ibn Abdul Barr 8/616]
‘Are you a Hurooreeyah (from a sect of the Khawarij)?’
From Muadhah: I asked Aeysha: ‘How is that a woman who had her menses has to make up fasts which she missed [in Ramadan] and does not make up the prayer?’
Aeysha said: ‘Are you a Hurooreeyah (from a sect of the Khawarij)?’
I replied: ‘I’m not from the Hurooreeyah (from a sect of the Khawarij), I was just asking.’
Aeysha said: ‘Menses would occur to one of us, and we were ordered to make up the fasts but not to make up the prayer.’ [Collected by Muslim]
Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen said: ‘This Hadeeth also shows the concern the Salaf as-Salih had for the sharia rulings and reasons, this is because this woman had knowledge, that the woman who is on her menses and misses the fasts of Ramadan needs to make up the fasts, but she wanted to ask about the wisdom behind this.
So Ayesha -RadhiAllaahu anha- explained the wisdom is that, this is how it is presented in the Sharia, that women at the time of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, and he ordered them to make up the fasts and they were not ordered to make up the prayer and that was sufficient as its wisdom.
However, the souls want to know the reasons, so what is the reason? The scholars said: The reason for this is that fasting only occurs once in the year and the prayer is repeated regularly so it becomes difficult to make up, that every month seven days a week to make up the prayer along with the current prayer.
Therefore, if the prayer is prayed after the menses and after becoming clean, then that dispenses from having to make up the prayer.
As for Aeysha saying: ‘Are you a Hurooreeyah (from a sect of the Khawarij)?’
This is proof that the Khawarij hold the view that the woman in her menses makes up her prayer just like she makes up the fasts of Ramadan, that is because of their being harsh in the Deen and them being far from the truth, so that is why they held that opinion.
Hurooreeyah is an ascription to Huroora which is a place on the outskirts of al-Kufa. The Khawarij gathered there to attack Ali bin Abi Talib RadhiAllaahu anhu.’

عواقب ترك علماء
قال محمد بن سيرين رحمه الله 《إن قوما تركوا طلب العلم ومجالسة العلماء ، وأخذوا في الصلاة والصيام حتى يبس جلد أحدهم على عظمه ، ثم خالفوا السنة فهلكوا ، وسفكوا دماء المسلمين ، فوالذي لا إله غيره ، ما عمل أحد عملا على جهل إلا كان يفسد أكثر مما يصلح ».
القارئ : وحدثنا عبد بن حميد أخبرنا عبد الرزاق أخبرنا معمر عن عاصم عن معاذة قالت : ( سألت عائشة فقلت ما بال الحائض تقضي الصوم ولا تقضي الصلاة فقالت أحرورية أنت قلت لست بحرورية ولكني أسأل قالت : كان يصيبنا ذلك فنؤمر بقضاء الصوم ولا نؤمر بقضاء الصلاة ) الشيخ : هذا أيضا الحديث فيه حرص السلف الصالح على معرفة الحكم والعلل الشرعية لأن هذه المرأة كان عندها علم بأن الحائض تقضي الصوم ولا تقضي الصلاة ولكن أرادت أن تسأل عن الحكمة ، فبينت عائشة رضي الله عنها أن الحكمة ورود الشرع بذلك أن هذا يصيب النساء في عهد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيأمرهن بقضاء الصوم ولا يأمرهن بقضاء الصلاة وكفى بذلك حكمة لكن النفوس تتطلع إلى معرفة السبب فما هو السبب ؟ قال العلماء : السبب في ذلك أن الصوم لا يتكرر يأتي في السنة مرة والصلاة تتكرر فيشق قضاؤها أن تقضي كل شهر سبعة أيام تضيفها إلى صلاتها الحاضرة ثم إنها إذا كانت تتكرر فما أتى بعد الحيض وبعد الطهر يغني عن القضاء وفي قولها : ” أحرورية أنت ؟ ” دليل على أن الخوارج يرون أن الحائض تقضي الصلاة كما تقضي الصوم وذلك لتشددهم في الدين وبعدهم عن الحق فكانوا يرون ذلك وحرورية أصلها نسبة إلى حروراء وهي مكان في ظاهر الكوفة اجتمع فيه الخوارج لمحاربة علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه نعم ، وفي الحديث شيء من الإشكال وهو قولها : قد كانت إحدانا تحيض إحدى هنا بمعنى واحدة يعني قد كانت الواحدة منا تحيض وليس معنى إحدانا دون الباقيات بل المراد إحدانا أي الواحدة منا تحيض والنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يعلم بذلك ولا يأمرها بقضاء الصلاة.

[1] The Hurooreeyah were a sect from the Khawarij.
From Bukayr bin Abdullaah bin al-Ashaja that he asked Nafa’: What was Ibn Umar’s opinion about the Hurooreeyah?
‘Ibn Umar held the opinion that they were the evilest of the creation of Allaah, and he said: ‘Indeed they rushed to the Ayaat that were revealed about the Kuffar, and they applied those Ayaat to the believers.’
[Bukhari reported it without a complete chain in his Saheeh, and it has also been reported in ‘Fathul- Bari’, but it has been reported with a connected chain by at-Tabari in ‘Tahdeeb al-Aathaar’, Ibn Wahb in is ‘Jaima’ ‘like it is mentioned in ‘Tagleek at-Taleek’ by Ibn Hajr.]
