Question
q1: is it allow for marriage couple in islam to live with someone in
their house, who were not relatives of either couple? q2: who is wali
in marraige? q3: what is the ruling regarding to the ownership of
properties ,such as cash, house any of such kind, and if the wife give
her any of such ,should he take and enjoy even her dawry. thank you
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
We will answer these questions in the following points:
Firstly, there is nothing wrong if the married couple live in the
house of relatives or strangers, provided that this does not cause any
religious violations like prohibitedmixing of men and women, or
entering upon non-Mahram women while there is no Marhram men, or
womentaking off Hijaab or exposing adornment in the presence of
non-Mahram men and the like.
Secondly, we have previously explained the order of the woman's
guardians in marriage in Fatwa 83338 , so kindly refer to it.
Thirdly, each of the spouses has his/her independent financial
liability and whoever gives up of what he/she has willingly while
he/she is healthy and hasa sound mind, then the other can benefit from
it.This includes the Mahr if the wife waived a part orall of it to her
husband. Allaah The Almighty says (what means): { And give the women
[upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts graciously. But if they give up
willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction andease.
} [Quran 4:4]
Also, it was narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
said: " It is not permissible to take the property of a Muslim except
with his consent... " [Ahmad]
For more benefit, kindly refer to Fataawa 162471 and 92134 , which
clarify that the wife has an independent financial liability.
Allaah Knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Warning against despair of the Mercy of Allaah

One should never despair of the Mercy of Allaah, because despair of
the Mercy of Allaah is a grave major sin.
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):
• {And who despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except for those astray?}
[Quran 15: 56]
• {Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allaah except the
disbelieving people.} [Quran 12:]
In another verse, Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {Anddo not
throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction.} [Quran 2:
195]
Commenting on the verse, some scholars said that when the slave of
Allaah commits a sin and then thinks that his sin will not be forgiven
and, therefore, he abandons seeking forgiveness and repentance to
Allaah, this is the destruction meant in the verse. We seek refuge in
Allaah form that.
In a Qudsi Hadeeth, the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
narrated that Allaah The AlmightySaid: "A slave committed a sin and he
said, 'O Allaah, Forgive me my sin.' Allaah The Almighty Said, 'My
slave committed a sin and came to realize that he has a LordWho
Forgives sins and Calls to account (the sinner) for the sin.' He then
again committed a sin and said, 'My Lord, Forgive me mysin.' Allaah
The Exalted Said, 'My slave committed a sin and came to realize that
he has a Lord Who Forgives sins and Calls to account for the sin.' He
again committed a sin and said, 'My Lord, Forgive me for my sin.'
Allaah The ExaltedSaid, 'My slave committed a sin and came to realize
that he has a Lord Who Forgives sins and Calls to account for the sin.
O slave, do what you like. I Have Granted you forgiveness.'" [Muslim]
Here is also the example of that man who used to drink alcohols and
was brought to the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
'Umar, May Allaah Be Pleased with him, narrated that he said: "During
thelifetime of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, there was a
man called 'Abdullaah whose nickname was Himaar (donkey), and he used
to make the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, laugh.
The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, lashed him because of
drinking (alcohols). One day, he was brought to the Prophet,
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, for the same charge and was lashed. On
that, a man among the people said, 'O Allaah, Curse him ! How
frequently he is brought (to the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam, for such a charge)!' The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam, said, 'Do not curse him, for by Allaah, I know that he loves
Allaah and His Messenger.'" [Al-Bukhaari]
The wording of another narrationreads: A man said: "'Why does he do
so? May Allaah Fail him.' The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam, said, 'Do not support the devil against your brother.'"
[Al-Bukhaari]
Hence, a slave should never despair of the Mercy of Allaah
TheAlmighty. Rather, whenever he commits a sin, he should ask for
forgiveness and repent to Allaah. None is infallible. Regarding the
righteous people who are promised Paradise, Allaah The Almighty Says
(what means): {Andhasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as
wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous.} [Quran 3:
133]
Indicating the characteristics of the righteous people, Allaah Added
(what means): {And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong
themselves [by transgression], remember Allaah and seek forgiveness
for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allaah? - And [who]
do not persist in what they have done while they know. Those - their
reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers
flow [in Paradise], wherein they will abide eternally; and excellent
is the reward of the[righteous] workers.} [Quran 3: 135-136]
Even a righteous person may commit a grave major sin or do an
immorality. Nevertheless, he immediately gives up the sin and returns
to his Lord seeking forgiveness and repentance.
Here is also the example of the Messengers, May Allaah Exalt
theirmention. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {Indeed, in
Mypresence the messengers do not fear. Otherwise, he who wrongs, then
substitutes good after evil - indeed, I Am Forgiving and Merciful.}
[Quran 27: 10-11]
Moosa (Moses), May Allaah Exalt his mention, who was directly
addressed by Allaah, killed a person and then said as Allaah The
Almighty Says (what means): {My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so
Forgive me," and He Forgave him. Indeed, He Is The Forgiving, The
Merciful.} [Quran 18: 16]
Even those who brought the truth and they who believed in it
concerning them Allaah Says (what means): {That Allaah May Remove from
them the worst of what they did and Reward them their due for the best
of what they used to do.} [Quran 39: 35]
The verses stand as evidence thatthey did bad actions. - - ▓███▓

Question
1)Why in Islam girls cannot go out alone , buthere in Europe is it
possible to go out alone ?

3)What are the problems bad effects of freedom ofEurope on and
American women (Like sex,bad clothes, etc.)
4) Men in Islam can have many wives, why can't women have many husbands?
Please I want full answers.
5)How can I invite non-Muslim people to be Muslims?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and
peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and
Companions.
It is unlawful for the woman to travel alone without a Mahram (a
non-marriageable man (brother, father, uncle etc.). This prohibition
is due to the fact that a woman traveling withoutMahram can encounter
a lot of difficulties, including being raped or tempted to commit
Haram acts.
It is lawful for the woman to leave her house for some need provided
she is certain that she will not be tempted or her going outwill not
cause her some misfortune.
So, she can go alone to schools, hospitals or to any other place if
there isa legal purpose for goingthere and provided she respects all
the Shari'a conditions related to this.
For the Fatwa about boyfriends and fiancé, please read 81356 .
There are many bad consequences that result from libertinism of women.
These include sexual anarchy, mixing up progenity, spreading sexually
transmitted diseases, etc.
We do not call this freedom, it is rather worshipping Satan and being
inclined to his whispers. It also makes real the bad ideas of the
ill-informed people who take every opportunity toinfluence women by
beautifying to them to perform bad acts and calling that freedom.

Fathwa, - One or two drops of blood are not consideredmenstruation

Question
My wife did not menstruate for three months. The pregnancy test she
underwent revealed that she was not pregnant. About two weeks ago, a
drop of brownish fluid was discharged and we expected menstruation
thereafter. However, she neither menstruated nor discharged other
drops or anything else.We waited for four days and then she made Ghusl
and I had sexual intercourse with her. Is this intercourse lawful
under Sharee'ah? Are we required to make Kaffaarah (expiation)? What
should we do now?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
Scholars unanimously agree that there is no limit for the maximum
period of purity (when she is not menstruating). A woman could remain
pure (not menstruating) for months, and even for years. Consequently,
yourwife is required to observe prayer and fasting. You are permitted
to have sexual intercourse with her, because she is like other
non-menstruating women.
The brownish drop of blood which was discharged is not considered
menstruation.That is because the scholars stated that the minimum
amount of blood to be considered menstruation is one gush. As-Saawi a
Maaliki scholar, said: " Ghusl becomes obligatorywhen a woman
discharges a gush of blood. As such, fasting is rendered invalid and
she is required to make up for that day. Nevertheless, in 'Iddah
(post-marriage waiting period) and verifying that the woman is not
pregnant, blood is not considered menstruation unless it continues
throughout the day or for a considerable part ofthe day. "
Consequently, one or twodrops of blood are not considered
menstruation.Your wife is required to make up for any prayers and
fasting which she abandoned for this reason. Allaah Knows best. - -

Fathwa, - A widow shaves her pubic hair during the ‘Iddah

Question
Is a widow permitted to shave her pubic hairduring the 'Iddah
(post-marriage waiting period)?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
A widow is permitted to shave her pubic hair during the 'Iddah, since
itis one of the Sunan of Fitrah (acts of natural disposition). Abu
Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet , said:" The acts of Fitrah are
five: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, trimming the mustache,
clipping the nails and plucking the armpit hair. " [Al-Bukhaari and
Muslim]
Talking about the widow's status during the 'Iddah, Ibn Qudaamah said
in Al-Mughni: " She is allowed to cleanse herself by clipping her
nails, plucking the armpithair and shaving hair which is recommended
to be shaved under Sharee'ah. "
A widow is prohibited to do anything that featuresbeautification and
adornment during the 'Iddah. Shaving the pubichair, however, is a
concealed matter and there is no beautificationinvolved. Allaah Knows
best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:-> http://translate.google.com/m/

Fathwa, - Ruling on selling liquor to non-Muslims

Question
What is the Sharee'ah ruling on selling liquorto non-Muslims in
non-Muslim countries, such as America? Whatis the punishment in this
case?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
The majority of scholars are of the view that it is prohibited to deal
with a non-Muslim in all matters which are prohibited under Sharee'ah,
whether this takes place in Muslim or non-Muslim countries. Meanwhile,
it is known that a Muslim is forbidden to consume liquor, sell it, buy
it, deal in it, and so on. The Prophet , said: " Allaah Has Cursed
liquor, the one who drinks it, the one who serves it, the one who
sells it, the one who buys it, the one whopresses it, the one for whom
it is pressed, the one who carries it, the one for whom it is carried
and the one who benefits from its price. " [Abu Daawood]
On the other hand, selling liquor, even to non-Muslims, involves
cooperation on sin and aggression. Allaah The Almighty Says (what
means): { And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not
cooperate in sin and aggression. }[Quran 5: 2] Allaah Knows best.

The secrets of patience

The meaning of Sabr
In the Arabic language, sabr means 'to hold fast' 'cease,' or 'choke'.
For example, in Bedouin Arabic, to say "one has been killed by sabr,"
means one was choked to death. Allaah the Most High Says (what means):
"And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their
Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance…" [Quran
18: 28]. Sabr in this verse means to 'hold to.'
Thus sabr means to hold one's self from anxiety (jaza') and anger
(tasakhkhut), to hold one'stongue from complaint, and to hold one's
body from disgraceful movements.
It is of three types: Patience in obeying Allaah the Most High
(namely, perseverance), patience in avoiding Allaah's disobedience
(namely, resolve), and patience inAllaah's tests. The first two of
these are related to voluntary acts, over which we as humans have
control. The last pertains to what happens to us (by Allaah's Decree)
wherein we have no choice.
The patience of the Prophet Yousuf
I have heard Ibn Taymiyyah say: [The Prophet] Yousuf's patience in
resisting the temptation of the minister's wifewas higher than his
patience regarding his brothers' throwing him into the well and
separating him from his father, for the latterhappened to him without
his choice. In such cases, a servant ofAllaah has no option but
patience. But his perseverance in avoiding the seduction (of the
minister's wife) involved his choice and pleasure (resulting from his
volitional obedience to Allaah), and struggling against his self. This
is especially true because there were factors complicating the
situation which made it all the harder for him. Not only was he young
and full ofpowerful natural desire, he also was unmarried (thus
lacking an appropriate way of satisfying those native urges). He was
furthermore a stranger in the land with no relatives or friends to be
ashamed before (had he fornicated). Moreover, he was a slave, and in
servitude one's moral restraint (wazi') is not as itis in freedom.
Further, the woman (seeking to seduce him) was beautiful, of high
status, andhis owner, and she tempted him when her husband was out. On
top of all this, she threatened him with imprisonment and humiliation
if he were not to oblige her. Yet despite all these factors, he was
patient out of his own choice, preferring what is with Allaah. How
much better it is compared to his patience in the well, wherein he had
no choice?"
He [&Ibn Taymiyyah&&] also used to say: "Patience through the
performance of righteous acts is better and higher in status than
patience in avoiding sins, for the benefit that comes from the
performance of a righteous deed is dearer to the Lawgiver (Allaah the
Most High) than the benefit that comes from abjuring sin. Likewise,
the ill that arises from the absence of righteous obedience is more
hateful to Allaah the Most High than the ill that arises from the
presence of disobedience."
He has a treatise in this matter in which he has supported this
opinion in 20 different ways, but this is not the occasion to mention
them. Our purpose here is to discuss patience, its reality, its levels
and ranks. Allaah the Most High alone gives success.
Various ranks of patience
Patience is also of three sorts: Patience by Allaah (billaah),
patience for Allaah (lillaah), and patience with Allaah (ma'allaah).
The first, patience by Allaah, consists in seeking Allaah's help and
seeing Allaah as the source of patience. For the patience of a servant
is not in his own power but is his Lord's gift, as He the Most High
Says (what means), "And be patient [O Muhammad], and your patience is
not but through Allaah. And do not grieveover them and do not be in
distress over what they conspire." [Quran 16:127].That is to say, if
Allah does not give you patience, you shall not be patient.
The second, patience for Allaah, means that the motivation of your
patience must he the love ofAllaah, the will to seek His pleasure, and
nearness to Him——not the desire to exhibit your self-control, to seek
the praise of people, or for any other reasons.
The third, patience with Allah, is comprised of the servant's effort
to keep with Allaah's religious decrees and requirements, in terms of
persevering with them, living with them, establishing them, going with
them whereverthey take one, and stopping wherever they stop. One's
patience with Allaah is to attach the "self" (nafs) to the things
Allaah the Most High commands and loves. This is the hardest and most
demanding type of patience. It is the patience of the Siddiqoon (those
of the highest degree of truthfulness and faithfulness.)
The sage Al-Junayd said: "Thejourney from this world to the Hereafter
is easy and light for a believer when compared with renouncing people
(for their rejection of faith) in front of Allaah, which is hard. The
journeyfrom the self to Allaah is harder still.
Yet to be patient with Allaah is the hardest of all. He was asked
about patience. So he said: "It is to swallow bitterness without
frowning."
It has also been said that [patience] is "the endurance of the self in
attacking adversities." And also "withstanding a calamity with a good
attitude [patience] is like enjoying peace and felicity."
The elite [worshippers of Allaah] say: "[Patience] is to stand firm on
the commandments of the Book and the Sunnah."
It has been said that the ranks of sabr are five: Saabir, mustabir,
mutasabbir, saboor, and sabbaar.The first, saabir, is the most
general. Mustabir is of the one who has earned patience and is filled
with it. Mutasabbir is of onewho forces one's "self" to it [against
all odds]. Saboor is of one whose patience is great in comparison to
others. And, finally, sabbaar, is of one who hasa great amount of
patience— greater than any of the [people meant by these four] earlier
[descriptions].
Regarding the words of Allaah, the Most High (which mean): "O you who
have believed, persevereand endure and remain stationedand fear Allaah
that you may be successful." [Quran 3:200] —it hasbeen said that this
verse proceeds from the easier [and lesser] command to the harder and
nobler. This means that sabr is less than musaabara, and musaabara is
less than muraabatah.
The word 'muraabatah' comes from rabt which means a tie or hold.
Someone is called al-muraabit because he ties his horse and waits for
the enemy's assault. Hence, this term has been used for anyone who
ties and holds his "self" in discipline and waits for Allaah's
commandments.
The Prophet Muhammad has said: "Shall I not inform you of that by
which Allaah erases sins and raises ranks? Perfecting ablution
(wudhou'), even when itis difficult, walking frequently to the
mosques, and waiting for a prayer after another [has finished]: That
is ribaat! That is ribaat!" (Muslim, Maalik, At-Tirmithi) He also
said: "Waiting patiently for a single day in the path of Allaah is
better than this world and all that is in it." (Al-Bukhaari, Ahmad)

Guided to Faith by a BlindBoy - II

I wiped away his tears with my hands and held his hand. I wanted to
take him to the mosque by car but he refused, arguing that it was
close by and that he wanted to walk to the mosque. I felt ashamed
because Icould not even remember the last time I had entered the
mosque. However, it was the firsttime I was feeling fear and regretfor
my negligence over the past years.
The mosque was full of worshippers, but I managed to find a place for
Saalim in the first row. We listened to the Friday Khutbah (sermon)
together and he prayed beside me; actually, no,I prayed beside him.
After the end of the prayer, Saalim asked me to hand him a copy of the
Quran. I was surprised: how could he read when he was blind?
I was about to ignore his request, but I responded for fear of hurting
his feelings. I handed him the copy of the Quran.
He asked me to open it and get the beginning of Chapter Al-Kahf. I
kept on turning the pages one time and searching for the page number
in the index another time until I finally found it.
He took it from me, put it before him and started to recite the
Chapter while his eyes were closed. He had memorized the whole
Chapter!
I was ashamed of myself. I pickedup another copy of the Quran.
I felt a shiver going through my body as I read more and more of it. I
asked Allaah The Almighty to forgive and guide me and began crying
like a child. I kept reading the Quran and asked Allaah The Almighty
to forgive and guide me.
There were still some people at the mosque performing the voluntary
prayer. I was embarrassed and tried to hold back my tears, but my
crying turned into weeping and sobbing.
I did not feel a small hand touching my face and wiping away my tears.
It was Saalim. I embraced him, looked at him andsaid to myself: "You
are not the blind; rather, I was the blind one when I followed some
dissolute persons who were dragging me to Hell."
We returned home to my wife, who was very worried about Saalim. Her
worry turned into tears of joy when she came to know that I had
performed the Friday prayer with Saalim.
From that day on, I did not miss any congregational prayer in the
mosque. I deserted my bad companions and had righteous companions whom
I befriended at the mosque. I tasted the sweetness of faith with my
new friends and learnt things from them that I had been too
preoccupied by worldly pleasuresto know. I never missed a gathering of
knowledge or a Witrprayer and completed the recitation of the Quran
many times within one month, by the grace of Allaah The Almighty. I
kept my tongue often busy with remembrance of Allaah The Almighty,
hoping that He would forgive me for past habit of backbiting and
mocking people. Ifelt that I got closer to my family.The look of fear
and pity that always loomed in my wife's eyes disappeared.
Now, a smile never leaves Saalim's face. Anyone who sees him would
feel as if he owns the whole world with everything in it. I praised
Allaah The Almighty so much for His favors.
One day, my righteous friends decided to visit a remote area in order
to give Da'wah. I was hesitating about going with them. I performed
the Istikhaarah prayer and consulted my wife. I had expected that she
would refuse but her answer wasthe opposite!
She was very happy and even encouraged me. She used to see me
traveling for dissolute purposes to commit lewd acts in the past
without consulting her. Iwent to Saalim and told him that I was going
away for a few days, and he embraced me with his small arms and bid me
farewell. Ileft home for three months and ahalf. During that period, I
used tocall my family whenever I had thechance. I missed them so much!
Imissed Saalim so much!
I wished to hear his voice. He wasthe only one who I could not speak
with since I had traveled for he was either in school or the mosque
whenever I called them.
Whenever I told my wife how I missed him, she laughed from sheer joy
and happiness. The last time I called her, however, she did not sound
her normal self and I did not hear her expected laugh.
I asked her to convey my greetings to Saalim. She replied, "In shaa'
Allaah (God Willing)" and kept silent.
Finally I went back home. I knocked on the door, hoping to see Saalim
opening the door, but I was surprised when my son Khaalid, who was
less than four years old, opened the door. I carried him in my arms
while he cried out in joy, "Father! Father!"
I do not know why I felt a sense of distress when I entered the house.
I sought refuge in Allaah The Almighty from the accursed devil. My
wife came forward with an unusually strained face: it was as if she
was faking her joy and happiness.
I looked at her carefully and then asked her, "What is the matter?"
She said, "Nothing." Suddenly I remembered Saalim and said, "Where is
Saalim?"
She lowered her head and did notanswer and some tears fell on her
cheeks. I cried out, "Saalim! Where is Saalim?" Thereupon, I heard
only the voice of my son, Khaalid, saying in a childish tone, "Saalim
went to Paradise...he is with Allaah…"
My wife could not bear her sorrow in silence anymore and burst into
tears. She was about to fall unconscious on the ground, and left the
room.
Later, I came to know that Saalimhad contracted fever two weeks before
my return. My wife took him to the hospital but his fever got worse
and he died. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Guided to Faith by a BlindBoy - I

I still remember the night my wife gave birth to my first son. I was
not yet thirty years of age and had stayed out with my friends in a
restaurant all night. Itwas an evening full of vain talk, not to
mention backbiting and vulgar comments. I was often theone who
instigated the comments and backbiting that made them laugh.
I remember that I made them laugh a lot that night. I had the unique
talent of mimicking others to an uncanny degree. I could change the
tone of my voice so that it became exactly like the person I was
mocking. Yes, it was my habit to mock all people, even my friends.
Some people avoided me in order to be safe from my tongue.
I remember that night I mocked a blind person I saw begging in the
market. What is even worse is that I put my foot in his way and he
tripped and fell to the ground. He kept on turning his head this way
and that, not knowing what to say. I laughed in a loud voice and my
laugh echoed throughout the market. I went back home late as usual and
found my wife waiting for me. She was in a pathetic condition.
With a quavering voice, she said, "Raashid… where were you?"
I said sarcastically, "On Mars! I was with my friends of course."
She appeared very tired and fatigued. She was overcome with tears and
said, "Raashid... I am exhausted…it seems like I am about to give
birth." Then a silenttear fell on her cheek.
I felt that I had neglected my wife. I was supposed to take careof her
and stop my evenings out, particularly as she was in her ninth month.
I quickly accompanied her to the hospital.
She entered the delivery room and was in labor pains for severalhours,
while I waited impatiently for the birth. She suffered from a
difficult delivery. I waited for a long time until I got tired, then I
went home and left my phone number in order for them to call me and
give me the good news.
An hour later, they called me in order to give me the good news of the
birth of Saalim. I immediately went to the hospital. When they saw me
asking about my wife's room, they asked me to meet the doctor first. I
shouted, "What doctor? I want to see my son, Saalim." They said, "You
have to meet the doctor first."
I entered upon the doctor and she started talking to me about
afflictions and being satisfied with fate. Then she said, "Your child
suffers from a serious deformity in his eyes and it appears that he is
blind!"
I lowered my head, trying to conceal my tears. I remembered the blind
beggar I had tripped upin the market and made people laugh at.
Glory be to Allaah! What goes around comes around! I kept silent for a
while and did not know what to say. Then I remembered my wife and son.
I thanked the doctor for her kindness and then went to see my wife.
My wife was not sad because she believed in and was satisfied withthe
divine decree of Allaah The Almighty. She had often advised me to stop
mocking people. She had often repeated: do not backbite people.
We came out of the hospital withmy son Saalim. The fact was that I did
not care much about him much and ignored his presence at home. When he
cried, I would flee to the living room to sleep. My wife, however,
showered him with love and care. As for me, I did not hate him, but I
could not love him either!
Saalim started growing and he started to crawl like all babies, but in
a strange abnormal way. When he was almost one year old, he tried to
walk but we discovered that he was disabled. This affected me a great
deal.
Later, my wife gave birth to my other sons, Khaalid and 'Umar.
Years passed and Saalim and his brothers grew up. I did not like to
stay at home and spent most of my time with my friends; I waslike a
toy in their hands and completely under their influence. My wife,
however, did not despairof reforming me; she was always supplicating
Allaah The Almighty to guide me. She never got angry at my irrational
actions, but she was greatly grieved when she saw me ignoring Saalim
and taking care of his brothers.
Saalim grew up and my pain grew as well. I did not object when my wife
asked to enroll him in a school for the disabled. Idid not feel the
passing of years. The routine in which I spent my days was: work,
sleep, eating andenjoyment in the evenings.
One Friday, I woke up at eleven o'clock in the morning. It was too
early by my usual standards. Ihas been invited to a wedding banquet,
so I put on my clothes, applied perfume and went out.
I passed by the living room – but I stopped when I saw that Saalimwas
weeping bitterly!
It was the first time I had paid attention to Saalim's weeping since
he was a child. Ten years had passed and I had never given him any
attention. I tried to ignore him but I could not. I heard his voice
calling his motherwhile I was in the room.
I turned and then approached him. I said, "Saalim, Why are you crying?"
When he heard my voice, he stopped crying. When he felt me approaching
him, he started trying to feel around him with hissmall hands. Why was
he doing that? I saw that he was trying to move away from me! It is as
if he was saying, "Now you deign to take notice of my presence! Where
were you ten years ago?"
I followed him and he entered hisroom. In the beginning, he refused to
tell my why he was weeping. It was only when I spoke gently to him
that he ventured to mention the reason behind his weeping. As I
listened to him, I began trembling. Do youknow why?
His brother 'Umar, who used to accompany him to the mosque (Masjid)
was late and because it was Friday, he was afraid of not finding a
place in the first row. Saalim called 'Umar and his mother but neither
of them answered. Thus, he began weeping. I looked at the tears
falling from his blind eyes and could not bear the sight, and so, Iput
my hand on his mouth and said, "Are you weeping for this reason, O
Saalim!" He replied, "Yes…"
I forgot my friends. I forgot the banquet. I said, "Saalim, don't be
sad. Do you know who will accompany you to the mosque today?" He said,
"'Umar, of course. But he is always late." I said, "No. I will
accompany you." Saalim was surprised and could not believe his ears.
He thought that I was mocking him, and continued to weep.

What is the ruling on paying membership feesto Islamic societies and centres in Western countries?.

I want to join an islamic society in europe. This society includes a
mosque and dars.
The shura demands a membership fee. Is this halal?
Praise be to Allah.
If the situation is as described, there is nothing wrong with paying
the fees demanded by the societyand this is their right. If the one
who pays the fee intends, in addition to benefiting from the
activities, that what he pays is to support that society, then he will
be rewarded for that intention, in sha Allah, especially since the
Islamic societies and centres in Western countries are doing important
work, such as teaching the Muslims about their religion and striving
to spread Islam in those countries. They provide a good environment
for the Muslims there, so supporting them financially and in other
ways comes under the heading of calling people to Allah.
And Allah knows best.

What should he do about his paternal uncle who unlawfully took his house that he inherited from his father, and he cannot do anything about it?.

My father had full ownership of an expensive house in Pakistan. About
10 years ago, when I was 10 years old, he had passed away, and I have
been raised by a single mother. Our financial conditions are worsening
as my education needs are growing. However, my fathers brother had
taken the house unlawfully and has been living in there since my
father's death. Whenever my mother would ask for our house back, he
would threaten to humiliate her and destroy her. Since I had moved to
Canada right after my father's death, I'm not familiar with the laws
and authorities in Pakistan, and since Pakistan is failing to govern
itself, it has poor controls of policing and other enforcement
agencies. Also, since my uncle is a very dangerous person, I am afraid
of what he would do if I go there and try to take my property back. My
question is that, in such dangerous circumstances, am I still obliged
to take my rightful property? And if yes, are there any suggestions on
how I should go about doing so?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
What your uncle has done with this act of transgression – if what you
say is true – is a grave major sin. The inheritance must be given
after the death of the deceased to the legitimate heirs without any
wrongdoing or transgression. Allah, mayHe be exalted, said after
mentioning the shares of inheritance in His Book and after giving each
one who is entitledto a share his rightful share (interpretation of
the meaning):
"These are the limits (set by) Allah (or ordainments as regards laws
of inheritance), andwhosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad
SAW) will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in
Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success.
And whosoever disobeysAllah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and
transgresses His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide
therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment."
[an-Nisa' 4:13, 14].
What is meant is: these details about shares of inheritance are the
limits set by Allah, which must be adhered to and not transgressed.
Tafseer as-Sa'di, p. 170.
Your uncle has no right to the inheritance at all, because he is
blocked from inheriting by you. Brothers and sisters do not inherit
anything when there is a child of the deceased.
Undoubtedly the right tothe house is yours, and itis within your
rights to try to get possession of itby all possible means.
But if the situation is as described, that the government's authority
in such cases is weak and you have little support or help, and
youthink it most likely that your uncle is dangerous and that he will
never give you your house except with a great deal of trouble or he
will harm you or your mother, or the like, then you do not have to try
toget it back when the situation is as described. Rather you should be
patient in the hope that Allah will give you relief and a way out, or
until you gain the power to kick him out by the help of Allah. Do not
expose yourself to trouble that you cannot bear; rather delegate the
matter to trustworthy lawyers you can trust to help you by legal
means. If that is notpossible and you give upyour rights for fear of
further harm, there is noblame on you and you do not have to try to
take it back at all.
Imam Muslim narrated inhis Saheeh (201) that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah
be pleased with him) said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of
Allah, what do you think if a man comes and wants to take my wealth?
He said: "Do not give him your wealth!" He said: What if he fightsme?
He said: "Fight him back." He said: What if he kills me? He said:
"Then you will be a martyr." He said: What if I kill him? He said: "He
will be in Hell."
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This is what the fuqaha' call an assailant, who is awrongdoer with no
justification for his wrongdoing. If what he wants is the wealth, it
is permissible to ward him off by any possible means. If he cannot be
warded off except by fighting, then he should be fought, but if one
does not want to fight and gives up some of thewealth, that is
permissible. But if what he wants is to commit animmoral action – such
as if he wants to commit zina with a man's mahram, or he wants to
commit indecent acts with a woman or a slave and the like – then it is
obligatory to protect oneself by any possible means, even by
fighting,and it is not permissible to allow him to do that under any
circumstances. This is different from wealth, which it is permissible
tolet him take, because allowing him to take wealth is permissible
butallowing him to commit indecent acts with oneself or one's mahrams
is not permissible.
End quote from as-Siyaasah ash-Shar'iyyah, 71.
Imam an-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Protecting wealth
is permissible butnot obligatory. With regard to the words of the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), "Do not give it to
him," what is meantis: you do not have to give it to him; it does
notmean that it is haraam to give it to him.
End quote from Sharh Muslim by an-Nawawi, 11/202
If you lose any of your rights and are not able to get them in this
world, then you have an issue to settle with the one who has wronged
you, and that will benefit you, in sha Allah, on the Day when there
will be neither dirhams nor dinars (i.e., no money or wealth), and
there will only be good deeds and bad deeds.
Al-Bukhaari (2449) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased
with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) said: "Whoever has wronged his brother with regard to his
honour or anything else, let him seek his forgiveness today, before
there will be no dinar and no dirham, and if he has any good deeds to
his credit they will be taken from him in a manner commensurate with
the wrong he did, and if he has no good deeds, thensome of his
counterpart's bad deeds will be taken and added to his burden."
See also the answer to question no. 92650 , in which there is a
discussion on referring for judgement to man-made laws, which is
permissible in order toget back one's rights in cases of necessity.And
Allah knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

34 hadith found in ' Sacrifice (Kitab Al-Dahaya) ' of Sunan Abu-Dawud.

2782
Narrated Mikhnaf ibn Sulaym: We were staying with the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) at Arafat; he said: O people, every family must
offer a sacrifice and an atirah. Do you know what the atirah is? It is
what you call the Rajab sacrifice.
2783
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
said: I have been commanded to celebrate festival ('Id) on the day
ofsacrifice, which Allah, Most High, has appointedfor this community.
A man said: If I do not find except a she-goat or a she-camel borrowed
for milk or other benefits, should I sacrifice it? He said: No, but
you should clip your hair , and nails, trim your moustaches, and shave
your pubes. This is all your sacrifice inthe eyes of Allah, Most High.
2784
Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:Hanash said: I saw Ali sacrificing two rams;
so I asked him: What is this? He replied. The Apostle ofAllah
(peace_be_upon_him) enjoined upon me to sacrifice on his behalf, so
that is what I am doing.
2789
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
sacrificed two horned rams which were white with black markings and
had been castrated. When he made them facethe qiblah, he said: I
haveturned my face towards Him. Who created the heavens and the earth,
following Abraham's religion, the true in faith,and I am not one of
the polytheists. My prayer, and my service of sacrifice, my life and
my death are all for Allah, the Lord of the Universe, Who has no
partner. Thatis what I was commanded to do, and I am one of the
Muslims. O Allah it comes from Thee and is given to Thee fromMuhammad
and his people. In the name of Allah, and Allah is Most Great. He then
made sacrifice.
2790
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
used to sacrifice a choice,horned ram with black round the eyes, the
mouth and the feet.
