حراسہ (پہرہ دینا)

الحراسة

Hirasa (guarding) means keeping a thing safe continuously, and the term keeps this meaning in law. ¹ It differs from ribat, which is residence at a frontier to strengthen the Muslims, and from himan, the reservation of a plot against grazing. ^{1 2} It takes the five rulings: obligatory, as when part of an army guards another during the prayer of fear; recommended, as in guarding a frontier or a volunteer raid; permitted, as in guarding fruit or markets; and forbidden, as in guarding places of unlawful amusement. ² Using a dog for guarding is generally allowed, and the guard's liability is disputed. ³
