......................It is not anyway compulsory and rather it is
routine
that because of our other engagements many of the jamaat does not spend full 3 days.
that because of our other engagements many of the jamaat does not spend full 3 days.
At some
places even it is permanent (like some campuses where there is 5 day week) that
Jamaat goes for 2 days only, at some institutions specially in Islamic Madarsas it goes from Thursday Asar to Friday
Magrib only.
At
Aligarh Muslim University, the system is as follows : Jamaat goes on friday
after juma they return on Saturday morning for attending classes and again go
after classes till Sunday evening/ Monday morning.
(As for
40 days) again it is not mandatory I have gone in jamaat for 10 days, 13 days,
there is nothing fixed, Sometimes brothers go in jamaat after giving
competitive exam as they are waiting for results they come back after
declaration of results for taking admission or attending classes, may be at
6,8,24,31…………………………. or whatsoever number of days. Work has an open door for
all 24 hours 365 days. Anyone can check these facts.
As Sheikh Salih al Uthaiymeen has also said
With regard to limiting da’wah to three or four days, or to
two or four or six months, or two years, there is no shar’i evidence for
that. But they think that this has to do with organization. If a person
goes out for three days, and knows that he is limited to these three days, he
will focus his mind and forget about worldly matters. This is the matter of
organization, and is not an act of worship or a matter of sharee’ah.

As all
of us has family and Job commitments so if you are going preplanned it becomes
comfortable as you can apply for your leave for certain number of days ,Your
family will remain informed that you are returning on a particular date.
Likewise so many system benefits are ther.
Say for example .. a group of say 5 brothers were sent to Calcutta from Delhi and nothing is fixed, and one brother said he has come for 3 days, two for 6 days, one for 20 days and another 40 days.
It would be rather problematic. Actually if you sent them anywhere it would be problematic.
This is the reason that a fixed time is specified so that it is easier to organise a jamaat so that they will be together all the time,
However there is no restriction on going for 1 day / 2 days / 4 days / 1 month etc make the responsible brothers aware the time that you intend to go for so it's easier to send them in an appropriate jamaat.
