Help Them Get Married

Question 195: Some parents who have righteous children but they do not (help them) to get married, and likewise parents to whom compatible religious and well mannered men come, but they don’t marry (their daughters) to them, what is your advice to them (these kinds of parents)?

Answer 195: What we advice them with is that they should be grateful to Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala Who blessed them with children and not to waste or weaken this community. That your child is chaste is better than for him to be lost and weak far away from the [female] dogs.

A lot of women are like (female) dogs, they cannot be classified as humans, (because) they jump from one man’s (bed) to another, further to this is AIDS disease that is widespread and the doctors cannot cure it, they do not have with them except to suppress (the effect) of some of its types.

So, if Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala blesses a man with a righteous child, then it compulsory to help him (the child). And the Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said “O young people! Whoever from amongst you is able to afford the cost of maintaining a wife, let him get marry, because it is best in lowering the gaze, and protecting the private parts, and whoever is not able to marry, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari]

If Allah blesses him with a righteous woman, she will certainly aid him in seeking knowledge and upon the continuation in his studies, and upon the safety from the current corrupt and corrupting free mixing, she will help him on that. So if he is unmarried how long can he struggle with himself? And it is possible that after a while he’ll not be able to struggle with himself anymore and Allah’s aid is sought.

Wasted Salah - Must Put effort to find the direction of the Qiblah

Facing The Ka'bah

    

When the Messenger of Allaah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam stood for prayer, he would face the Ka'bah in both obligatory and voluntary prayers, and he sallallahu alayhe wa sallam ordered that, saying to the "one who prayed badly": “When you stand for prayer, perform ablution prefectly, then face the qiblah and say takbeer.”

Footnote # 1:

This is what the Shaykh has mentioned: That the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam used to face the Qiblah, meaning the direction of the Ka'bah, and that is in his sallallahu alayhe wa sallam prayers in Madeenah, but as for his sallallahu alayhe wa sallam prayers in Makkah, he used to face the Ka'bah itself. (As a result) the scholarsmay Allah have mercy upon them say: It is compulsory on the Muslim to face the Ka'bah itself if he sees it. But if he does not see it, it is sufficient for him to face the direction of the Ka’bah; because of the saying of his (the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam), "what lies between the East and the West is the Qiblah.”

Ibn Abdil Barr mentioned in Attamheed (17/45): “There is a consensus of the scholars that the Qiblah, which Allah commanded His Prophet and His servants to face in their prayer is the sacred house (Ka’bah) in Makkah and it is compulsory on everyone that sees it or around it to face it, and if he refuses to face it while seeing it or knowing its direction, then his prayer is invalid and it is upon him to repeat all those prayers.

They (the scholars) also agreed that whoever prays without facing the Qiblah and without making the effort to find its direction then his prayer has no reward and it upon him to repeat them (those prayers) facing the Qiblah, just like if he prays without tahaarah (wudhu – ablution).

And in this is the ruling for the one who prays in a Masjid while it is possible for him to seek the Qiblah through the mihraab (niche in the mosque wall that is directed to Mecca) or something similar to it but he did not do so and prayed facing a direction other than it (the Ka’bah). They (the scholars) also agreed that whoever is away from the Ka'bah, he must face its direction, the side of its location and face it, and it is upon him to whom its direction is hidden to find it by all means available to him from the stars, mountains, wind and other than these from what is possible to aid him in finding its direction.”

Be Kind Ya Husband and Wives!

Question No. 174: What is the ruling of the one who has good relations with the people (outside) but is of bad character in his home, easily angered? May Allah reward you with goodness.

Answer No. 174: What is compulsory on a woman and what we advice her with is to be good to her husband, because he faces many problems, unbelievable problems. Yes, by Allah! He faces the problems of sustenance, problems of liabilities and other problems. So, it is incumbent on her if he enters upon her, she should be good to him. She should emulate Khadeejah radi Allahu anha when the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam came to her and complained to her, “I fear that something would happen to me,” and she said to him, “Nay by Allah! Allah will never disgrace you, you keep good relations with your kin, you help all,” and she mentioned something of the character of the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam and I advise the righteous woman to be good to her husband.

There are problems that the husband is faced with outside the home, perhaps she (the wife) is not aware of them, but if he faces problems from the wife also and she is a bad housemate, then by Allah, it is a very, very bad situation.

Despite all these, we advise the man to be patient, if the woman is chaste but of bad character, we advise him to be patient, and if he is able let him marry another wife, so she (the second wife) would calm her (the first) down, and what the first wife doesn’t know, she does read nor write, and the second one can read and write. So, the first one can take her notebook and go and learn the writing and reading. And if it is the case (that he is alone), then he must calm her down alone and Allah’s aid is sought.

Leaving Salat during Wedding Night

Arabic Transcript: 

صلاة المغرب مع أن العشاء أقرب للترك ولكنه يجب عليها أن تُصلي صلاة المغرب وصلاة العشاء ولا يجوز لها تأخيرها عن وقتها لأن هذا يُنافي شكر نعمة الله عز وجل على الزفاف الذي حصل لها فالواجب أن تقوم بما أوجب الله عليها من فرائضه ولا ولم يفوتها شيء من مقصودها في النكاح. 

الجواب لا يجوز ذلك والواجب على المرأة أن تُصلي المغرب والعشاء أيضاً لأنها سألت عن 

English Translation: 

The questioner asked: What is the ruling on one who left off the Magrib Salah during the wedding night and makes it up on another time? 

Answer: The answer is: that is not allowed, and the obligation upon the woman is to pray the Magrib and the Isha also, because she asked concerning Salatul Maghrib though Ishaa is more likely to be left off, but it is obligatory upon her to pray the Magrib Salah and the Ishaa Salah, and it is not allowed for her to delay them from their fixed time. Because it negates the fact of being thankful for the blessing of Allah regarding the wedding that occurred to her, and obligation is that she carries out what Allah ordered from the obligations and nothing will pass her from the things of marriage.

It is not allowed to take anything from the Masjid

Question: is it allowed for the person to take a Mushaf (a copy of the Quraan) from the masjid for himself or substitute a Mushaf for him? 

Answer: He is not allowed to do that, it is not allowed for him to take anything from the masjid, not for himself nor he is allowed to change it (changing the mushaf he has with a mushaf from the masjid), rather it is obligatory to leave what is in the masjid for the masjid for the Muslims.

Question: Is it allowed to take any book whether Quraan, or any other book while it was written on it "endowment", is it alright to take it from the masjid? 

Answer: It is not allowed to take it from the masjid, but leave it in the masjid so whoever in the masjid from the readers can benefit from it, they read it and benefit from it; because the giver who gave it in the masjid or in the library of the masjid intended to benefit people by it. So, do not take the Mushaf (a copy of the Quraan) that is in the masjid nor the book that is in the masjid, leave it for the readers in the masjid or in the library that is in the masjid.
