What it means to give ijāza (permissions) in Hizbul Bahr?
One person who had pledged on the hands of Maulāna Thānvī Rahmatullah ‛Alayh requested ijāza for the recitation of Hizbul Bahr. Maulāna answered that there was no need to seek ijāza in this matter. He insisted that he seeks ijāza for barakah. So Maulāna said “Very well, I make du‛ā’ that Allah gives you ability to practice upon it and accept that deed of yours.”
