A Muslim is commanded to do the duties as much as he can, and to leave all the forbidden things; if he does that, then he has succeeded, even if he does not do many voluntary acts of worship.
On the authority of Jabir: “A man asked the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said: Tell me, if I pray the prescribed prayers, fast Ramadan, make lawful what is lawful, and make unlawful what is unlawful, and do nothing more than that, will I enter Paradise?”
He said: (Yes).
He said: By God! I will not add anything more than that.” Narrated by Muslim (15).
Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"This hadith indicates that whoever performs the obligatory duties and refrains from the forbidden things will enter Paradise. There are many hadiths from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) with this meaning, or something close to it." End quote from "
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said
"Loving falsehood is a deficiency, but not all people are commanded to be perfect, and that is not possible for them. If they do what will allow them to enter Paradise, then what does not prevent them from entering it is not forbidden to them.
He said:
"Allah, may He be glorified, does not punish for what He has permitted, but rather He punishes for abandoning what is commanded and doing what is forbidden.
Based on this, if a Muslim, when he is free from his studies or work, occupies himself with permissible things, without neglecting an obligation or committing a forbidden thing, then he should consider:
If these permissible things are of significant benefit in this world, then this is praiseworthy, and if he has a good intention in them, he will be rewarded for them, such as practicing some permissible sport, or sleeping for the sake of rest, or watching something beneficial in which there is nothing forbidden. Or he takes a walk for a walk, or visits a friend or relative until he calms down and returns to his studies or work energetic.
The scholars only condemned the one who is busy with something permissible that is of no benefit.
Al-Shatibi said:
"Likewise, amusement and play, and freeing oneself from all work, if it is not in a forbidden way, and does not result in a forbidden thing: then it is permissible, but it is condemned, and the scholars did not approve of it, rather they hated that a man does not see himself in improving his livelihood, or in improving his afterlife; because it is spending time in something that does not result in any worldly or otherworldly benefit..."
This condemnation is not by way of prohibition, but rather it is guidance for the Muslim on what he should be like in terms of being busy with important matters and avoiding trivial matters.
That is why Ibn Qudamah said
"And all other games, if they do not involve harm, or distraction from an obligation, then the basic principle is that they are permissible.
Nothing from the games is forbidden except for what is proven by evidence, and this is confirmed by the principle: that the basic principle regarding things is permissibility and lawfulness.
Some of them mentioned that the basic principle of our school of thought is that “amusement and play are originally permissible, contrary to Malik.”
I do not know of any of the companions who said this statement; but it is a matter that the basic principles of things are not forbidden.
The bottom line is that the basic principle regarding amusement and play is permissibility, if it does not include anything forbidden and does not lead to it.
Some students indulge in amusement and play to the point of neglecting their studies, which is followed by cheating to get rid of poor results, or angering their parents and disobeying them by neglecting their studies.
Some employees indulge in amusement and play after work until late, then in the morning they go to work in a state of idleness, thus neglecting the duties they are charged with. All of this is forbidden.
It is better for a Muslim to occupy himself with permissible and beneficial things, and to make the most of his life in what benefits him in his religious and worldly affairs, and let his amusement, fun, and play be an aid to him in attaining the truth that he is striving to seek.
