Commentary
This narration has been discussed for its narrator, Kathir bin 'Abdullāh is regarded as a weak narrator and his narration cannot be accurate and acceptable, but the theme of this narration is correct.
As it involves an element of waiting for another person's death, for this reason it has been called 'Ruqbā'. According to 'Allāmah Alī Qārī, in view of Imām Abū Hanīfah and Imām Muḥammad, Ruqba is not approved. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhī, v. 2, p.284.) According to 'Allāmah Ibn Hajar most of the scholars deem Ruqbā and 'Umrā' to be the same. In view of Imām Abū Hanīfah, Imām Malik, and Imām Muḥammad and Imām Abū Yūsuf, Ruqbā is not lawful. (Fath Al-Bārī v. 5, p.295.)
