Is Shaykh Muhammad Subbayil the imam that would pray taraweeh in a wheelchair a few years ago?

- HR Staff - said...

No, that was not sheikh Subayyil.

Anonymous said...

Do you know who that person in the wheelchair was then?

sheikh hudhaify is the luckiest imam than the others he had led prayer in makkah for 10 years and morthan 20 years in maddinah may allah protect tehm all and i wish sheikh hudhaify to be back in makkah again.

Anonymous said...

No, luckiest is probably Sudais... Almost 30 years in Makkah, THE Holiest site.

Anyway, Juhany was in Madina in 1419. That means he started leading in the Haramain at the age of... 19?!

MYK said...

To the last anon:

Did Sheikh Juhany lead in Medina as in Masjid Nabawi,Prophets Mosque?

Im pretty sure Sh. Juhany was imam in Masjid Quba, Medina.

Sheikh Juhany did lead Taraweeh for sure in Masjid al Nabawi, as well as Masjid Quba and Qiblatain.

Assalāmu'alaykum Warahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

I suggest the word "died" is changed to "passed away". I think it's just more polite.

Jazakallah khoiron katsiiron.
