"Is there any basis for the practice of Rebo Wekasan? This is Buya Yahya's view."

Buya Yahya explains about the practices carried out on Rebo Wekasan.
Dream - The practice of Rebo Wekasan is still widely performed by a number of Muslims at the end of the month of Safar according to the Hijri calendar. However, many also question and debate the practice of Rebo Wekasan because there is no supporting evidence. The term Rebo Wekasan is taken from the last Wednesday of each month of Safar. People who still practice Rebo Wekasan believe that this day is when calamities descend. The practice involves reciting prayers with the intention of seeking safety from potential calamities from Allah SWT.
The statement, can the practice of wekasan be done without evidence? Is it true that there is no evidence from Prophet Muhammad SAW regarding Rebo Wekasan? What is the view of the scholars regarding the practice on Rebo Wekasan?
The last Wednesday in the month of Safar is often known as Rebo Wekasan. This term often refers to Javanese tradition. The word 'Rebo' in Javanese means 'Wednesday', while 'wekasan' can be interpreted as 'last' or 'end'. So, literally, Rebo Wekasan can be interpreted as 'Last Wednesday' or 'End of Wednesday'.
On the night of Rebo Wekasan, Javanese people often perform various rituals or religious activities. Some of them are visiting graves, performing ruwatan ceremonies, reciting special prayers, or reciting tahlil to honor ancestors or for other spiritual purposes.
Buya Yahya explained, actually there is no hadith guidance from the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that we must practice the Rebo Wekasan practice.
The text "kata Buya Yahya melalui kanal Youtube Al-Bahjah TV." translates to "words of Buya Yahya through the Youtube channel Al-Bahjah TV."
Buya Yahya explains that the practice of Rebo Wekasan emerged because of a story about a pious person who received inspiration that on that day a disease would occur. From that inspiration, the pious person asked for help from Allah SWT to be protected from the disease and invited others to perform prayer of need or prayer to ward off calamities. This practice aims to seek protection from disasters.
the word of the scholar who is the owner of the full name Yahya Zainul Ma'arif.
From the story, Buya Yahya assesses that if there is a pious person who is known to never commit sins and then invites others to do good, it is not wrong to follow them. People are allowed to follow their practices as long as there are no commands that contradict the shariah and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. "Following inspiration, as long as it does not contradict the shariah, is permissible," Buya Yahya continued.
However, he emphasizes that inspiration is not an argument even if it is accepted by someone famous for their piety. This means that the inspiration of a righteous person should not be used as an argument. An argument is a valid proof as a basis for the acceptance of an argument by the public. "Inspiration is not an argument," he firmly stated.
So, if a Muslim believes in the inspiration of a knowledgeable person, it can be followed with the condition that it does not contradict the shariah.
"While for Muslims who deny the inspiration of a knowledgeable person about Rebo Wekasan, they should not be condemned. Because inspiration does not necessarily have to be believed."

Performing forbidden worship is not allowed, for example, adding extra prayers or voluntary prayers with a specific intention for Rebo Wekasan. If you want to perform voluntary prayers, then intend to perform absolute prayers or prayers of need to avoid disasters and calamities. It means that all of these Rebo Wekasan practices are based on the hadiths of the Prophet, while inspiration is only a guide to the Prophet's sunnah. For example, to ward off calamities, it is recommended to perform prayers of need and give charity according to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.
