Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Shaykhuna!

Wa Alaykum As-Salam Ya Akhi,

 

I have some questions for you:
What acts during wird/wazifa nullify them?

Acts such as breaking your wudu or talking or reciting something else.

Is facing the Qibla a wajib during Dhikr?

No, it is only highly recommended.

 

If somebody calls you during the wird/wazifa, how should you act? (e.g. parents are calling you to dinner).

You may answer your parents only by talking (if they are unaware of the Adab of Dhikr and will be angry by your not responding). You may not answer anyone else, except by a gesture to indicate that you are busy reciting.

Can you resume your wird/wazifa if you had to interrupt it for some reason?

If it was a short and valid interruption (such as a few words to a parent or joining Jama’ah Salah), then you may continue from where you stopped. If it was a long or unacceptable interruption, then you must start over again.

How to act if you lost your wudu?

You should start over the whole Dhikr again.

How to act if you lost count?

Continue from the minimum number that you are sure you recited. After being done with the Wird or the Wazifah, recite 100 Istighfar as atonement.

 

What if you did some more Adhkar then expected e.g. you did the Salat-ul-Fatih 103 times?

Recite 100 Istighfar as atonement.

 

Are mistakes like forgetting to say Alayhi Salam-Llah after Muhamadun Rasul Allah forgiven?

Yes. But do not become careless with them. Small mistakes become big when done continously.

 

Can I do the wird/wazifa sitting on chair?

It is better sitting on the floor as per the Sunnah of the Habib (SAW) and as an act of humility. Nevertheless, it is allowed to recite the Wird or the Wazifah sitting on a chair, except from the 6^th Jawharah, when it becomes mandatory to sit on the floor in honor of the Messenger of Allah (SAW).

Of course, old or sickly persons can recite the whole thing sitting on a chair. Allah and His Prophet (SAW) have excused them.

Jazakum Allahu Taala khayran.

Afwan. Know also that there are some differences between the Ulama of the Tariqah regarding some of these minor issues. I have only mentioned the more prevalent view as per my knowledge and research. I also take the practice of Mawlana Sahib al-Faydah (RA) as the final word, for he had said:

“And this poor Slave is the Door of Shaykhuna Ahmad al-Tijani (RA).

Whoever I accept, Shaykh Ahmad Tijani accepts, and whoever I reject, Shaykh Ahmad Tijani rejects”.

wassalam.

Wa Alaykum As-Salam

Servant of the Tijani Door,

Fakhruddin bin Ahmad al-Tijani
