Is it for the students of knowledge to take from the charities because he is poor?

Is it for the students of knowledge to take from the charities because he is poor?

Question: Is there for the legislative student of knowledge, who does not have wealth that suffices him for his education such as the housing, the maintenance, the transportation, and he has five years of study remaining, the question: is it permissible for him to take something from the charity or it is not permissible?

Answer: If he is in need of them (charities), for the essential needs such as: clothings, or the car that he rides to go to the study, or whatever is similar to that, then it is permissible for him to take from the zakah, if he has need of it, for his clothes, or his foods or his vehicle for going to the study, and returning, then alhamdulillah, "The charities are only for the poors." [Sura At-Tawbah: 60], This is called a poor.

What's the status and virtue of People of Knowledge in Islam?

Questioned His Eminence: What's the status and virtue of People of Knowledge in Islam?

Answered His Eminence with his saying:
The status of people of knowledge has a great status, because they are the inheritor of the Prophets as-salah and as-salam be upon them, and therefore it is obligatory upon them to explain/convey knowledge and call to Allah which is not obligatory upon other than them. They are on the earth like the stars in the sky, they guide the misguided straying creation, and they explain to them the truth, and they warn them from evil and therefore they are on the Earth as the rain strikes the dead earth so it produces vegetation with the permission of Allah.

And it is obligatory upon the people of knowledge from the actions and characters, and manners that is not obligatory upon other than them, because they are an example and model. So, they are the most rightful of people and first of people to act on the legislation in its manners and its characters.

75ـ وسئل فضيلته: ما هي مكانة وفضل أهل العلم في الإسلام؟

فأجاب فضيلته بقوله: مكانة أهل العلم أعظم مكانة؛ لأنهم ورثة الأنبياء عليهم الصلاة والسلام، ولهذا يجب عليهم من بيان العلم والدعوة إلى الله ما لا يجب على غيرهم، وهم في الأرض كالنجوم في السماء يهدون الخلق الضالين التائهين، ويبينون لهم الحق ويحذرونهم من الشر ولذلك كانوا في الأرض كالغيث يصيب الأرض القاحلة فتنبت بإذن الله .
ويجب على أهل العلم من العمل والأخلاق والآداب ما لا يجب على غيرهم؛ لأنهم أسوة وقدوة فكانوا أحق الناس وأولى الناس بالتزام الشرع في آدابه وأخلاقه .

Are Adhan and Iqamah legislated fo the women?

Question: Are Adhan and Iqamah legislated for the women whether one of them did it in the urban areas or in the wild (desert), in singles or in a group?

Answer: Adhan and Iqaamah are not legislated for the women, whether in the resident or in the travel. (Because) the adhaan and iqaamah are characteristics of the men, as the authentic ahadeeth indicated to that from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam.

The ruling of laziness about some of the obligations

The ruling of laziness about some of the obligations

Question: What's the ruling one someone who singles Allah the Exalted out [with tawheed] but he is lazy upon the performance of same of the obligations?

Answer: He is deficient of the Emaan and likewise the one who does some of the sins, they (sins) decreases his emaan (as it is the ruling) with the Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama'ah. Because they say, the Emaan is the saying and the action and the belief, it increases with obedience and decreases with the sin (committing sin). From the Examples of that: Leaving of the fasts of Ramadan without excuse or some of it, so it is a great sin, it decreases the emaan and weakens it and some of the people of knowledge (apply legislation of) disbelief on him for that. However, the correct (view is) that he does not disbelief by that so long he acknowledges the obligation. But he breaks some of the days due to carelessness and laziness. And likewise, if he delayed the Zakah from its time due to carelessness or leaving of its giving out, then it is a sin and he was weak in the Emaan. Some of the people of knowledge (apply ruling) of disbelief on him because of leaving it. Accordingly if he cuts off his ties of kinship or he is being undutiful (toward) his parents, (then) this is due to the decrease in the Emaan and weakness in it. Likewise the remaining of the sins.

As for leaving of the prayer, then it negates the Emaan and it obligates the apostasy even if he did not deny its obligation according to most correct sayings of the Scholars due to the saying of the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, "The head of the matter is the Islam, and its pillar is the prayer, and its pick is the Jihad in the way of Allah," and his saying sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, "The agreement that is between us and them is the Prayer, so whoever leaves it then he has certainly disbelieved," in other ahadeeth it shows that [also].

The place of the Qunut in the Prayer [Salah]

The place of the Qunut in the Prayer [Salah]

Question: Concerning the Qunut in the Fajr Payrer, where is its place in the Prayer?

Answer: (It is) after the Rukuh (bowing), and this is the best, after the Rukuh, and if Qunut is done before the Rukuh, then there is no problem. But (it is) better and superior from the action of the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam that it is after the Rukuh, and likewise the Qunut of the Witr is after the Rukuh.

The Obeying of the Mother

The Obeying of the Mother

Question: I have a mother, Sometimes I quarrel with her, because i am not able to control myself. So what should i do? (Please) benefit me and may Allah benefit you.

Answer: The obligation upon you is the gentleness with your mother, and the fine behavior and the absence of quarreling. The mother, her right is great, and likewise the father, his right is great. Allah jalla wa 'ala says in His Great Book in many places:

"and be dutiful and good to parents"
[Surah AlBaqara: 83, Surah An-Nisa: 36, Surah Al-An'aam: 152, Surah Al-Israa: 23]

And He subhaanahu says: "give thanks to Me and to your parents. To Me is the final destination." [Surah Luqman: 14]

and He subhaanahu says: "And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. And lower to them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young."" [Surah Al-Israa: 23-24]

Therefore, the obligation upon the son is to fear Allah and to (have) gentleness with his parents and not to quarrel with them, but to be silent or to address (them) with what is best. If his father said to him a harsh word (speech) or insulted him, then he should say (to him): May Allah guide you, May Allah be pleased with you, May Allah reward you. He should not correspond with harshness nor with the bad word (speech) to even if his father or his mother insulted him, he should say (to her): May Allah reward you, May Allah be pleased with you, May Allah guide you O mother, and like this from the good speech. He should not correspond with the evil ever. And it is not permissible for him to correspond with the evil nor to quarrel nor the raising of the voice upon his father or his mother. We Ask Allah the guidance for all.

I advice you with the Fear (Taqwa) of Allah and the Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) upon every nobleness (honor/dignity).

عن أبي هريرة قال جاء رجل إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يريد سفرا فقال يا رسول الله أوصني. قال "أوصيك بتقوى الله والتكبير على كل شرف."

From Abi Hurayra radi Allahu anhu said, a man came to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam wishing to travel, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah, advice me."

The completion of the Qur'an in order to seek a cure


ختم القرآن للاستشفاء


اختم القران للاستشفاء، وانفخه على المريض هل هذا يجوز أو لا؟

لا بأس في ذلك، القرآن جعله الله شفاء، فإذا قرأته أو بعضه على نفسك وأنت مريض ترجو من الله الشفاء، أو على بعض المرضى فلا حرج في ذلك، بل في ذلك الشفاء, قال تعالى: قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاء(44) سورة فصلت. فالقرآن فيه الشفاء والخير فإذا قرأته كله أو بعض الآيات كل ذلك خير والحمد لله.

The Finishing of the Qur'an in order to seek a cure

Question: The completion of the Qur'an in order to seek a cure or to blow it upon the sick person, is this permissible or no?


Answer: There is no problem in that. The Qur'an, Allah made it a cure. So if you read it or some part of it upon yourself while you are sick hoping from Allah the cure, or upon some sick people, then there is no sin [problem] in that. But in that is the cure. [Allah] The Exalted said, "Say, it is for those who believe, a guide and a healing" [Surah Fussilat 44]. So the Qur'an, in it is the healing and the good thus if you read it, all of it or some of the verses, all of that is good and to Allah being all Praises.

Is it permissible for a man to look or shake hands with the mother of his wife?


هل يجوز للرجل أن ينظر أو يصافح أم زوجته؟

أم زوجته محرم، قال الله - تعالى -: وَأُمَّهَاتُ نِسَآئِكُمْ [(23) سورة النساء]. بينها في المحارم فله أن ينظر إليها وله أن يصافحها، لكن من غير شهوة، مصافحة العادة .... من غير شهوة.


Question: Is it permissible for a man to look or shake hands with the mother of his wife?

Answer: The mother of his wife is mahram. Allah said, "your wives' mothers," [Surah An-Nisaa 23]. The marriage with her is forbidden, so he can look at her and he can shake hands with her. But without desire. The shaking hands of habit without desire.

The Greatest Jihad


The Greatest Jihad

The Jihad is of categories, (it is) by the self [one's self] and by the wealth, 
and by the supplication 
and by the counseling, and by the guidance, 
and by the cooperation upon the good from any path, 
and the greatest of Jihad is by the self [one's self].  

Then by the wealth, then by the jihad with opinion and counseling 
and the calling (to Allah) is like that from the jihad. 

But the jihad with the self [one's self] is highest of them.

أعظم الجهاد
هل الجهاد في سبيل الله على درجة واحدة سواء كان بالنفس ، أو بالمال ، أو بالدعاء مع القدرة على الجهاد بالنفس؟ س . ص

الجهاد أقسام ، بالنفس ، والمال ، والدعاء ، والتوجيه ، والإرشاد ، والإعانة على الخير من أي طريق ، وأعظم الجهاد الجهاد بالنفس ، ثم الجهاد بالمال والجهاد بالرأي والتوجيه . والدعوة كذلك من الجهاد ، فالجهاد بالنفس أعلاها .

It is reported from Aysha radi allahu anha that she said,

When the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam used to see what he likes, he would say, Alhamdulillah allathee beni'matihi tatimma ath-solihat الحمد لله الذي بنعمته تتم الصالحات [All praises be to Allah by whose blessing the righteous (deed) is completed] and if he saw what he dislikes, he would say, Alhamdulillahi 'ala kulli hal الحمد لله على كل حال [All praises be to Allah at all conditions]."

[Ath-Sdohiha of Shaykh Albanee : 265]


Advice to the Fathers


Advice to the Fathers

I Advice to the fathers, and the uncles, and the brothers to fear Allah concerning those under their authority from the children, (and that) they order them with the prayer if they reached the age of seven, and they hit them for it - the prayer - if they reached the age of ten as is authentic in that hadith from the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam (where) he sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "Order your children with the prayer at the age of seven, and hit them for it at the age of ten and separate between them in the bed."


So, the obligation upon the fathers and the mothers and on the old brothers to order those under their auuthority for the prayer, and other that it and to prohibit them from what Allah forbade and that they enjoin upon them with that which Allaah has obligated. This is the obligation as they are trust with them.

Allah subhan ta'ala said, "O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell)". (At-Tahrim 66:6)

And also Allah 'aza wa jal said, "And enjoin As-Salât (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them [i.e. the Salât (prayers)]" (Ta-Ha - 20:132)

And He (Allah) said about His Prophet and His Messenger Ismail alayhe assalah wa assalam, "And mention in the Book (the Qur'ân) Ismâ'îl (Ishmael). Verily, he was true to what he promised, and he was a Messenger, (and) a Prophet. And he used to enjoin on his family and his people As-Salât (the prayers) and the Zakât, and his Lord was pleased with him." (Maryam 19:54-55)

Keeping the documents that mention’s Allah away from Abuse

Keeping the documents that mention’s Allah away from Abuse

Questioner says: some people write verses of the Quran, or Bismallahir rahman ir raheem (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) on wedding invitation cards or other matters.  These papers may be thrown in waste or can be abused, or get stepped on, or played by children, and there are also people who misuse document that have the name of Allah and verses of the Quran. We wish to get some guidance on such an issue.

Answer: The writer has to follow that which is prescribed, so if he writes a letter or invitation card to a wedding or others, he has to start with the Bismallah and if he mentions a verse from the Quran relevant to the matter there’s no harm.  It is upon the person receiving this letter to respect it and doesn’t put it in garbage, or in any place where it can be abused, if he underestimated it than he is a sinner.

The writer has no sin, and the Prophet Peace be upon him used to write letters with the Bismallah ir rahman ir raheem, and occasionally some verses from the Quran.  

The one who writes uses that what is prescribed from Bismallah and mentioning some verses from the Quran and hadeeths when he needs to, the one who abuse this book, or this letter he is a sinner, its upon him to preserve it, burn it or bury it. But if he put in the waste or gets abused by children, or uses it to wrap things with it, then is not permitted.

Thus, some people when it comes to magazines and newspapers use them as tablecloth or to wrap personal files that he takes him with him, all that is not permitted. This is disrespecting it, because there might be Quranic verses, hadeeths of the prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. So when he gets magazines or newspapers, it is upon him to preserve them in his library or a place, or burn it or bury it in a clean ground and same for the book of Quran if it gets ripped or can’t be used for reading anymore. It should be buried in a clean ground.. Or burned, like the way Othman bin Afan did ( may Allah be please with him) when he buried a book of  the Quran that he didn’t use anymore.

Many people don’t pay attention to this matter, we should take note of this,  the newspapers and letters that have no need either to be buried in a clean ground, or burn. If get used as wrappers, used as tablecloth or thrown in garbage cans all this evil, not permissible, wa Allahul Musta'an.

حفظ الأوراق التي فيها ذكر الله بعيداً عن الامتهان
يقول السائل: بعض الناس يقومون بكتابة آيات قرآنية، أو بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم على بطاقات الدعوة للزواج، أو لغيرها من الأعمال، وقد ترمى في النفايات أو تهان، أو يداس عليها، أو يلعب بها الأطفال، وهناك أيضاً من يهين الأوراق التي فيها البسملة أو آيات أخرى، فنريد التوجيه في مثل هذا.

الكاتب عليه أن يفعل المشروع، فإذا كتب رسالة أو دعوة إلى وليمة أو غيرها، فإنه يفعل المشروع يعني: التسمية، وإذا ذكر آية من القرآن مناسبة فلا بأس، وعلى من كتب إليه أن يحترم ذلك وألا يطرحها في محل القمامة، ولا في محل يستهان بها، فإذا استهان بها هو فهو الآثم.
وأما الكاتب فلا إثم عليه، وكان النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام يكتب الرسائل بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، وربما كتب بعض الآيات.
فالذي يكتب يستعمل ما هو مشروع في التسمية وذكر بعض الآيات عند الحاجة والأحاديث، والذي يهين هذا الكتاب أو هذه الرسالة هو الآثم، فعليه أن يحفظها أو يحرقها أو يدفنها، أما أن يلقيها في الزبالات أو يهينها الصبيان، أو يتخذها لحفظ بعض الحاجات أو ما أشبه ذلك، فهذا لا يجوز.
وهكذا يفعل بعض الناس من جهة الجرائد والصحف، يتخذها سفرة للطعام أو ملفات لحاجاته التي يذهب بها إلى البيت، كل هذا لا يجوز، فهذه إهانة لها؛ لأنه قد يكون فيها آيات وأحاديث لرسول الله عليه الصلاة والسلام فلا يجوز هذا العمل، بل هذه الصحف التي يحصل عليها إما أن يحفظها عنده في مكتبته، أو في أي مكان، أو يحرقها أو يدفنها في محل طيب، وهكذا المصحف إذا تقطع ولم يبق صالحاً للاستعمال، فإنه يدفن في أرض طيبة، أو يحرق كما حرق عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه المصاحف التي استغنى عنها.
وكثير من الناس ليس عندهم عناية بهذا الأمر، فينبغي التنبه لهذا، فالصحف والرسائل التي ليس لها حاجة إما أن تدفن في أرض طيبة، وإما أن تحرق. وأما أن تتخذ لفائف لبعض الحاجات، أو سفراً للطعام أو تلقى في النفايات، فكل هذا منكر لا يجوز، والله المستعان.

The Question: How does the Muslim attain rank of al-Ihsan?


The Question: How does the Muslim attain rank of al-Ihsan?


The Answer: By watching, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam mentioned, worship Allah as if you see Him, if you don't see Him, He sees you", always feel that your Rabb aza wa jal is watching you on every say and every action and on every manner that you deal with people, in every deal that you do with people, upon you is a watcher from Allah, Blessed and High, the cameras that the country puts in places and you know that is picturing you, it causes you to improve your behavior.

and (to) Allah is the Highest of Example, feel this accurate surveillance every minute, more  accurate from these cameras, watcher upon you during the day and the night, if you were in your house, or in the street, or in the work, or in the market, or in the university, the surveillance is very intense from Allah, Blessed and High.

So this carries and prepares the human to feel the surveillance, and surveillance is the first door from the doors of al-Ihsan, then after that perhaps you attain a higher level and be really worshipping Allah as if you see Him, Glorified and High .i.e. surveillance becomes from feeling to rank of certainty, that He watches you, and that He is present, and is aware of you and you see all that, so this is the way  to al-Ihsan in worshipping of Allah, Blessed and High.

I ask Allah to give us success and you to it, and also the scholars mention, looking in the promises and warnings, and feeling the texts of the Book [Qur'an] and the Sunnah about promises and warnings, the promise of the Jannah, the warning of the punishment, the warning of the Hellfire, and biographies of the companions gathered all of this after the Tawpiq of Allah to reaching to rank of al-Ihsan!

الجواب:السلفية:اتباع السلف؛ لأن الإنسان إما أن يكون سلفياً،وإما أن يكون خلفياً،والسلفي نسبة إلى السلف،بمعنى أنه ينتسب إليهم ، والانتساب إليهم ليس من باب النسب ولا الدم ولا الجنس ولا العرق ولا اللون،وإنما هو من باب الانتساب إلى ما كانوا عليه من الدين كما ذكر النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام عندما ذكر تفرق الأمة وبيًّن أن الفرقة الناجية هي الجماعة ،ثم بين أنه يجب على الأمة أن تكون على مثل ما كان عليه النبي والصحابة ،والصحابة هم سلفنا في الدين،فهم الذين عرفوا الدين،وهم الذين شهدوا التنزيل وعرفوا التأويل ، عرفوا الدين من حيث تفسيره ومن حيث تطبيقه ،فهم أسلافنا، ومن تبعهم في دينهم من حيث العقائد و
العبادات و الحلال والحرام والمعاملات كان سلفياً حقاً،أي كان في دينه وتدينه وطريقته وعقيدته ومنهاجه في الدين والتدين على مثل ما كان عليه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم. فالسلفية هي مثلية الصحابة،أن يماثل الصحابة ، أن يحاكي الصحابة،ما فعله الصحابة يفعله ،وما تركه الصحابة يتركه. ما اعتقده الصحابة يعتقده،وما لم يعتقدوه وأنكروه ينكره،هكذا،فإن كان كذلك فهو سلفي، وأما إن خالف الصحابة فكما قال الله عز وجل:[فخلف من بعدهم خلف أضاعوا الصلاة] فالخَلْف هم الخَلَف الذين يخلفون أسلافهم ولكن يخالفونهم فيما كانوا عليهم في الدين والمنهاج،فمن خالف الصحابة فهو الخَلْفي أو الخَلَفي،ومن وافق الصحابة فهو السلفي في أي زمان كان وفي أي مكان ،ومن أي جنس .أسأل الله أن يثبتنا وإياكم ،وأن يحشرنا وإياكم تحت زمرة السلف الكرام أعني الصحابة رضي الله عنهم وأرضاهم.

what is the ruling of pictures that are crafted, taken photographically or drawn by hand?


Question: Barak Allah feekom ya shaik, my question is what is the ruling of pictures that are crafted, taken photographically or drawn by hand?

Answer: "Pictures that are crafted from wood and stones or made of mud..etc are all haram, if their shape is similar to the shape of a living-thing that has a soul, due to its similarity and imitation to the creation of Allah. It was narrated in an authentic hadeeth that the prophet peace be upon him cursed the photographers and cursing means being snatched and distanced from the mercy of Allah. It was also narrated in a qudsy hadeeth that Allah (sw) said "And who is more oppressive than that who goes create like my creation, let them create a particle or let them create seed or let them create a grain". In another authentic hadeeth "People that are severely punished in judgment day are the photographers who imitate the creation of Allah, they will be asked to bring to live whatever they imitated". The daleeles regarding this matter are many.  Drawing with the hand falls under the type of crafting that is promised to be punished for and is from the great sins.


Regarding photographs taken by cameras it doesn't seem to me (the shaik) that is from crafting, and that is because the person who took the picture didn't try to imitate the creation of Allah. Therefore, if you show a person a picture that is taken by a camera he would not say "what a skilled crafter or creator" in comparison to the things that crafted, he will say "what an artist" or "what a great creator" and that show us the difference. This is similar to a person who draws or writes  something with his hand than he has someone prints for him or published it,  people will not associate that book to the person who printed it or published it, however they will associate it to its author. That clarifies the difference between the person who takes pictures by a camera and who crafts it. However if there's another person who comes and imitate it the drawn of another person exactly, people will say "what a good artists" or "what a talented crafter" and people might thing that the second person was the one who create it.  That distinguishes clearly between the people who takes a picture and who crafts, in way that pictures taken by a camera are not associated to the photographer. And we don't say that this has imitated the creation of Allah or created it.  However if a person take a picture of something haram, than taken a picture in that case is haram because the things that are used to get to something haram are in that case haram, And isn't permitted to take pictures for memory (for remembering) because this might fall under the saying of the prophet that angles do not enter a house that has pictures in it."


السؤال: من حضرموت المستمع عبد الرحمن يقول فضيلة الشيخ أسأل عن حكم الصور تكون التي بالنحت أو الآلة الفوتوغرافية الكاميرا أو كانت بالرسم باليد وإنا طالب بالثانوية يلزمونني بالرسم باليد جزاكم الله خيرا؟

الجواب الشيخ: الصور المنحوتة من خشب أو حجارة أو المصنوعة من الطين أو العجين أو ما أشبه ذلك كلها حرام إذا كانت على تمثال الحيوان له روح لما فيها من مضاهاة خلق الله عز وجل وفي الحديث الصحيح أن رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم لعن المصورين واللعن هو الطرد والإبعاد عن رحمة الله وفي الحديث القدسي أيضا أن الله تعالى قال (ومن أظلم ممن ذهب يخلق كخلقي فليخلقوا ذرة أو ليخلقوا حبة أو ليخلقوا شعيرة) وفيه أيضا في الحديث الصحيح (أشد الناس عذاباً يوم القيامة المصورون الذين يضاهؤن بخلق الله يقال لهم أحيوا من خلقتم) والأدلة في هذا كثيرة ومن التصوير على القول الراجح المتوعد عليه أن يقوم الإنسان بتصوير ذي روح بيده فإن ذلك داخل في التصوير المتوعد عليه وهو كبيرة من كبائر الذنوب أما التصوير بالآلة الفوتغرافية الفورية فلا يظهر لي أنه من التصوير وذلك لأن المصور لم يكن يخطط أو يحاول أن يضاهي بخلق الله ولهذ ا فنرى الناس لو عرض عليهم صورة بالآلة الفوتوغرافية على حسب ما حصل من التصوير لم يقولوا ما أجود هذا المصور وما أحدقه لكن لو عرض عليهم صورة صورها بيده وخططها بيده وظهرت مطابقة لما صور فقالوا ما أحسن هذا ما أحدق هذا فدل ذلك على الفرق بين من يرسم الصورة بيده ومن يصور بالآلة الفوتوغرافية ويدل لهذا إن الإنسان لو كتب كتابا بيده ثم وضعه في آلة التصوير وخرج من الآلة فإن الناس لا ينسبون هذا المرسوم إلى الذي صور بالآلة وإنما ينسبونه إلى الكاتب الأول وما زال الناس يحفظون الوثائق بمثل هذا ولا يقولون أن هذا الذي التقطه بالآلة مبدع متقن جيد بل ربما يكون يتولى هذا رجلا أعمي أو يتولاه رجل مبصر في ظلمة لكن لو جاء شخص وعُرِض عليه خط الرجل الآخر فجاء يقلد أخر حتى ظهر وكأنه خط الرجل الأول لقال الناس ما أبدعه ما أحذقه كيف صور هذا التصوير الذي جاء مطابق للرسم وفي هذه الأمثلة يتبين أن التصوير الفوتوغرافي ليس في الحقيقة تصويرا ينسب إلى الفاعل ولا يقال أن هذا مضاهئاً لخلق الله لأنه لم يصنع شيئا والقول بالحل مشروط بأن لا يتضمن أمراً محرماً لأن الأشياء المباحة إذا أدت إلى شي محرم كانت حراماً لأن الوسائل لها أحكام المقاصد فمثلاً لا نرى أنه يجوز أن يصور الإنسان هذا التصوير للذكرى كما يقولون لما في ذلك من اقتناء الصورة التي يخشى أن تكون داخلة في قول النبي صلي الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم إن الملائكة لا تدخل بيتا فيه صورة.

The prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said that it's from the signs of the hours that knowledge will be taken from the young ones(students of knowledge); some people in our days say that we must fallow the major scholars for knowledge and others say that we can take knowledge from the students of the major scholars as well, what is the reality regarding this, is this hadeeth about the young scholars, how can we understand the hadeeth?

Are the students of the major scholars the intended ones in this hadeeth?

The desire is from the greatest of falsehood.


هذا القلب صار منشرحاً للهوى؛ بسبب أنه غفل عن الحق، فعوقب بغفلته تلك: أن صار الهوى مشرباً له، أشرب ومعنى (أشرب) أي: صار راغباً في الهوى والباطل، والهوى من أبطل الباطل.

Question: Is it correct that the hanaabilah they are the only salafiyyoon?And what is the reality of salafiyyah?Is it an association of(upon) sternness and compulsion as some (people) circulate?

Answer: This statement is not correct.On the contrary the righteous predecessors( As salafus saalih) are the companions - may Allah be pleased with them - and whoever follows their way from the Taabe'en, and Atbaa'a Attaabe'en from the Hanafiyyah, and Maalikeyya, and Shaafe'eyyah and Hanaabilah and other than them from those who thread upon the truth, and cling to the Almighty Book and the Purified Sunnah, in the matter of Tawheed, Asmaa' was sifaat (names and attributes of Allaah) and in all the matters of the Deen (religion).We ask Allah to make us from them, and to give success to all the Muslims ,to aid goverments and peoples in all place to hold firmly to His Mighty Book and Sunnah of His Messenger, the Faithful and make them both (ie Quran and Sunnah) the judge and to appeal to them for the legal decision, and being cautious from all that contradicts them - Indeed He is The Guardian of that and The One Capable of it, and Allah is the Guardian of Tawfiq.

Question: Does the women cut the prayer of woman if she passes before her (in front of her)?

Answer: Yes, she does, because there is no difference in the legislations for the man and women except with evidence. But if she passes behind the shutrah if there was a shutrah, or behind her (prayer) rug if she was praying on a (prayer) rug or behind the place of her prostration, even though she didn't have a shutrah nor a (prayer) rug, then she does not harm and (prayer) is not wiped away (prayer is not cut/invalidated).

What is the manner of greeting [for] the blessed Eid Al-Adha, and we know that in Eid Al-Fitr


ما صيغة تهاني عيد الأضحى المبارك، وقد عرفنا أنه في عيد الفطر يقول الناس لبعضهم: تقبل الله منا ومنكم صالح الأعمال، فماذا نقول في عيد الأضحى؟

ليس لهذا صيغة معروفة، فإذا دعا له قال: تقبل الله منا ومنك، أو عيدكم مبارك، أو العيد مبارك، أو جعل الله عيدكم مبارك، سواء كان عيد الأضحى، أو عيد الفطر، كله واحد، وهكذا في الحج، حجك مقبول، تقبل الله منك، عمرة مقبولة تقبل الله منك، كل هذا وأشباهه كافي؛ لأنه ليس له صيغة معروفة، أما أعياد المشركين، والنصارى فلا يجوز تهنئتهم بها، ولا مشاركتهم بها، فإذا كنت في محل في عيد للكفار، نصارى، أو غيرهم، فليس لك أن تهنئهم فيه، ولا أن تشاركهم فيه ولا أن تحضرهم، لما فيه من التشبه بهم، ولما فيه من إظهار الرضا بعيدهم الباطل، فليس للمسلمين إلا عيدان، عيد النحر وعيد الفطر، وتسمى أيام الحج عيداً، يوم عرفة، وأيام التشريق تسمى عيداً للمسلمين، لأنها تتكرر بينهم، ويعبدون الله فيها، أما أعياد المشركين من النصارى وغيرهم فلا يجوز حضورها ولا التهنئة بها، ولا بيع البطاقات بها، كل هذا منكر لا يجوز، نسأل الله للجميع الهداية والتوفي


Question: What is the manner of greeting [for] the blessed Eid Al-Adha, and we know that in Eid Al-Fitr, people say to some of them: may Allah accept from us and from you the deeds of righteous, so what do we say in Eid Al-Adha?

Answer: [There] is not for this well known form (manner), so if he said invoking for him, may allah accept from us and from you, or Eidkum Mubarak [Your Eid (be) Mubarak], or the Eid is Mubarak, or may Allah make your Eid Mubarak, whether it was Eid Al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr, all of it one, and accordingly in the Hajj, your Hajj (be) acceptable, may allah accept from you, acceptable Umrah - may allah accept from you, all this and anything similar to it sufficient (fitting) because there is not for it well known distinguished manner.


As for the Eids of the Musrikin and christians then it is not ermissible to greet them or participate (join in) with them. And if you are in a place where their eid is celebrated then it is not (allowed) for you to greet them or join in the celebration or attend it because of what is in it of imitating them and becasue of what is in it of showing contentment with their false Eid.


The muslims do not celebrate other than two eids, Eid al-Nahar and Eid al-Fitr. The days of Hajj , day of arafah, and days of the tashreek are called Eid for the muslims, because it repeats (every year) and Allah is worshiped in these days (i.e. ibadah has more virtue).


As for Eids of the mushrikin from the christians and other than them, then it is not permissible to attend them and don't congratulate them, and don't sell tickets in them, all of this forbidden, not permissible, we ask allah to grant guidance and tawpiq to all.

The congratulation in the Eid!


التهنئة بالعيد

الأخ (ص.م.م) من واشنطن، يقول في سؤاله: يقول الناس في تهنئة بعضهم البعض يوم العيد: (تقبل الله منا ومنكم الأعمال الصالحة) أليس من الأفضل يا سماحة الوالد أن يدعو الإنسان بتقبل جميع
الأعمال؟ وهل هناك دعاء مشروع في مثل هذه المناسبة؟


لا حرج أن يقول المسلم لأخيه في يوم العيد أو غيره تقبل الله منا ومنك أعمالنا الصالحة، ولا أعلم في هذا شيئاً منصوصاً، وإنما يدعو المؤمن لأخيه بالدعوات الطيبة؛ لأدلة كثيرة وردت في ذلك، والله الموفق.

The congratulation in the Eid!


Question: The brother from Wasington, he says in his question, the people say in day of the Eid congratulating with each other: Takkab ballahi minnah wa minkum al'amal ath-solihah (may allah accept from us and from you the righteous deeds), isn't it from the best O Generous father that people make dua with accaptance of all deeds? and is there legal dua like this suitable?


Answer: It is ok for a muslim to say to his brother on the day of the Eid or other than it Takkab ballahi minnah wa minkum 'amalana athsoliha (may allah accept from us and from you our righteous deeds) and i don't know anything clearly specified in this. Rather the believer supplicates for his brother with good duas because of many daleel stated in this (i.e. supplicating for your brothers) and Allahu Almuafeq.

قبل عيد الأضحى يكبر الناس ويهللون بصوت مرتفع في المساجد، فهل هذا جائز؟


هذا السنة، ليلة العيد عيد الفطر القابلة إن شاء الله في ليلة الأحد، نحن الآن في ليلة السبت ثلاثين رمضان، في ليلة العيد السنة فيها التكبير، مع الصباح إلى انتهاء الخطبة، لقوله جل وعلا: وَلِتُكْمِلُواْ الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُواْ اللّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ فالسنة التكبير ليلة عيد الفطر في الليل وفي الصباح وعند اجتماعهم في المسجد حتى ينتهي الإمام من الخطبة كله تكبير سنة، وهكذا في عيد الأضحى السنة التكبير في الأيام العشر من دخول الشهر، من أول ليلة من شهر ذي الحجة على ليلة العيد على يوم العيد على يوم التشريق ثلاثة عشر يوماً كلها تكبير في شهر ذي الحجة، من أول الشهر إلى غروب الشمس من اليوم الثالث عشر كله تكبير، لكن في يوم عرفة وما بعده يكون تكبير مقيد ومطلق، يكبر تكبيراً مقيداً بعد الصلوات الخمس، ويكبر في بقية الأوقات، المسلم والمسلمة الرجل والمرأة بعد صلاة الفجر من يوم عرفة ويوم العيد وأيام التشريق تكبير أدبار الصلوات وفي بقية الزمان، يعني بقية النهار والليل، في منى وفي غير منى في المدن والقرى في الصحاري والسفر، السنة التكبير للمسلمين رجالاً ونساءً، وكان منهم ابن عمر وأبو هريرة -رضي الله عنهما- يخرجان أيام العشر إلى الأسواق يكبران ويكبر الناس لتكبيرهما، ويقول النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: (ما من أيام أعظم عند الله العمل فيهن من هذه الأيام العشر، فأكثروا فيهن من التهليل والتحميد والتكبير) وبهذا يعلم أن التكبير مشروع في العيدين، في ليلة عيد الفطر؟؟؟؟؟؟ وفي صباح يوم عيد الفطر إلى أن يفرغ الإمام من الخطبة، وفي شهر ذي الحجة من أول الشهر إلى غروب الشمس من اليوم الثالث عشر، كله تكبير، لكن في الخمسة الأيام التي هي التاسع والعاشر والحادي عشر، والثاني عشر والثالث عشر من شهر ذي الحجة يجتمع فيها التكبيران المطلق والمقيد وفق الله الجميع.

حكم التكبير في العيد

أخونا يسأل عن التكبير في يوم العيد، يقول: هل هو سنة أم بدعة؛ لأني ألاحظ أنه اختفى في كثير من المناسبات؟

What's the ruling on the entrace of the blind [man] upon the woman for the purpose of teaching in the schools?

Question: What's the ruling on the entrace of the blind [man] upon the woman for the purpose of teaching in the schools?

Answer: The entrance of the blind man upon the woman for the purpose of teaching, (there is) no problem with it.
Because it is permissible for the woman to look at the blind (men) as long as there are no fitna, and the evidence on this is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said to Fatimah bint Qayees, "Spend this period as he is a blind man, and you can put off your garments with him" [Reported by Muslim] and he sallallahu alayhe wa sallam permitted Aeysha to look at the Habesha while they were playing in the masjid.

But if from this, fitnah [trails] takes place (such) as enjoying of voice of the woman or comes close to her side for instance, and grasping her hand, and what is similar to that, then indeed it is not permissible. It is not becasue looking at the man is haram but becuase mixing with him is haraam.

Prohibition of Marriage between Jinn and Human beings.


وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

The Crying of the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam

The Crying of the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam

The first hadith: The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam was sitting with Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. The prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam (said), "Read to me". Ibn Mas'ud (said), "Read to you while it was send upon you."

(So), the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam (said), "I love to listen to it from other than me."

(So), Abdullah ibn Mas'ud read from Surah An-Nisa until he came to this aya, "'How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people." [Surah An-Nisa 4:41]

(Then) the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam (said), "Enough for now". Ibn Mas'ud turned his face to the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, thereupon, (I saw) his two eyes were overflowing with tears.

Benefit from the hadith:

1 - Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said to the reciter, "Enough for now" and he didn't say, "Sadaq Allahu Al'ajeem"

2 - The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam used to love listening to the Qur'an from other than him.

3 - (The third point of benefit) is that humility while listening to the Qur'an is (shown) by crying not by screaming.
