 What Does Fard Mean?

What is fard?

Answer:

Fard

(الفرض)

is an Arabic word. Fard is what the Lawgiver strictly requires to be done, and whose obligatory character is proved by definitive evidence.

Someone who denies the fard is considered a disbeliever (kafir), as he or she is denying what has been ordained by clear-cut and decisive texts. Fard is separated in to groups:

Fard al-ayn (Individual duty):

Fard al ayn is the group of tasks that are every Muslim is required to perform individually as a duty, such as daily prayer salah, hijab or the hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca at least once in a lifetime.

Fard al-kifaya (Sufficiency duty):

Fard al Kifaya is a duty which is imposed on the whole ummah. One is not required to perform it as long as a sufficient number of community members fulfil it. Kaynak: http://askaquestionto.us - What Does Fard Mean?
