Constitution of the Muslim Home

The Muslim home is based on a number of principles and rules that
govern it and regulate life in it. These rules make the Muslim home
distinctive as they are derived from the noble Quran, the Sunnah of
the Prophet,, the life of the Companionsand the life of
theTaabi'oon(their successors(.
The most important rules of this constitution are:

adherent to His Ordinances, avoiding what He forbade and remembering
Him a lot.
Believing in the angels of Allaah, His Books, Messengers, the
Hereafter, Divine Decree and fate. Allaah The Almighty Says (what
means):{The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from
His Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in
Allaah and His Angels and His Books and His Messengers, [saying], "We
make no distinction between any of Hismessengers."}[Quran 2:285]
Believing in the Messenger of Allaah,and adhering to hisSunnahby
abiding by what he ordered us to do and avoiding what he forbade.
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):{And whatever the Messenger has
given you -- take; and what he has forbidden you -- refrain
from.}[Quran 59:7]

(what means):{Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a
decree of specifiedtimes.}[Quran 4:103]

Almighty Says (what means):{And those within whose wealth is a known
right. For the petitioner and the deprived.}[Quran 70:24-25]

means):{O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was
decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.}[Quran
2:183]

Dought & clear - No Angels or Other Creatures Know Everything in the Heavens and Earth.

My daughter asked me: Who is the angel who knows everything in
theheavens and the earth, the number of drops of water, the number of
grains of sand? Is there any such thing?
Praise be to Allah
The one who knows everything in the heavens and on earth, and knows
the number of drops of water and the number of grains of sand is
Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. There is no angel who is close to Him
or any Prophet who was sent who has this knowledge. Anyone whosays
that there is anyoneamong the angels who knows all of this has
fabricated a lie against Allah, to Whom belongs knowledge of the
unseen of the heavens and the earth.
Allah, may He be exalted,says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib (all that is hidden), none
knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in (or on) the earth
and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but he knowsit. There is not a grain
in the darkness of the earth nor anything freshor dry, but is written
in aClear Record" [6:59].
And He, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (unseen)
except Allah, nor can they perceive when they shall be resurrected"
[27:65].
Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said:Here Allah, may He be
exalted, is instructing HisMessenger (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) to tell all of mankind that no one knows the unseen except
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and that He alone has that
knowledge, with nopartner or associate. Endquote from Tafseer Ibn
Katheer, (6/207).
Al-Bukhaari (4697) narrated from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with
him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) said: "The keys of the Unknown are five, whichno one knows except
Allah: no one knows what will happen tomorrow except Allah; no one
knows what is in the wombs except Allah; no one knows when it will
rain except Allah; no one knows in which land he will die; and no one
knows when the Hour will begin except Allah."
But Allah, may He be exalted, may inform whomever He wills among His
creation about whatever He wills of His unseen. Allah, may He be
exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"(He Alone) the All-Knower of the Ghaib (unseen), and He reveals to
none His Ghaib (unseen). Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He
has chosen (He informs him of the unseen as much asHe likes), and then
He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march beforehim and
behind him." [72:26, 27].
The scholars of the Standing Committee said: Knowledge of unseen
matters is something that belongs exclusively to Allah, so no one
among His creation, human or jinn, knows anything of it except what
Allah reveals to whomever He wills among His Angels or His Messengers.
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, (1/346).
Yes, there is an angel who is appointed in charge of the rain, and
directs it wherever Allah wills; he is Mikaa'eel (peace be upon him),
who has helpers who dowhatever he instructs them to do. But this only
happens by the will of Allah and in accordance with His wisdom and
knowledge. They do not know anything or do anything; rather they
cannot do anything at allexcept by Allah's leave. Moreover, that does
not mean that they know the number of drops of water, because their
knowledge is restricted to what Allah has taught them, and they say,
as Allah tells us:
"Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us.
Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise"
[2:32].
And Allah knows best.

Dought & clear - Can the testimony of a woman be accepted with regard to sighting the new moon of Ramadaan?.

Can the testimony of a woman be accepted with regard to sighting the
new moon of Ramadaan?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The fuqaha' differed with regard to acceptingthe testimony of a woman
with regard to sighting the new moon of Ramadaan. There are two
opinions:
1 – Her testimony may beaccepted. This is the view of the Hanafis – if
itis cloudy– and the Hanbalis, and it is one of the two views held by
the Shaafa'is.
2 –That it cannot be accepted. This is the view of the Maalikis,
andthe more correct view according to the Shaafa'is.
Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni (3/48):
If the one who brings the news is a woman, then according to the
madhhab her word is to be accepted. This is the view of Abu Haneefah
and is one of the two views held by the companions of al-Shaafa'i,
because it is news that has to do witha religious matter, so it is
akin to narration of reports, or telling peoplewhat the direction of
the qiblah is, or that the time for prayer has begun. And it may be
that it is not acceptable, because it is testimony about the sighting
of thenew moon, and the word of a woman cannot be accepted concerning
that, like the new moon of Shawwaal.End quote.
See: Tabyeen al-Haqaa'iq(1/319), al-Taaj wa'l-Ikleel (3/278),
al-Majmoo' (6/286) and Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (2/304).
The Hanafis differentiatebetween cloudy and clear weather. If it is
cloudy, the testimony of two men, or a man and two women, is
acceptable, but if it is clear then it is essential to have many
people to testify to that . See: al-Bahr al-Raa'iq (2/290).
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Some
scholars say that the testimony of a female cannot be accepted, either
in Ramadaan or atother times, because the one who saw the new moon at
the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) wasa man, and because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: "If two witnesses (shaahidayn) bear witness,
then start the fast and end the fast," and a woman is a shaahidah not
a shaahid.
The evidence of our madhhab is that this is a report concerning a
religious matter which isaddressed equally to males and females, as
males and females are equal with regard to narrating reports, and
reports are religious matters. Hence they did not stipulate that
sighting the new moon of Ramadaan should be proven by a judge, and
they did not stipulate any particular wording for the testimony,
ratherthey said: If he hears a trustworthy person telling the people
in his presence that he has seen the new moon, then he must fast on
the basis of this news. End quote from al-Sharh al-Mumti' (6/326).
As for the new moon of Shawwaal, it can only beproven by the testimony
of two men.
And Allaah knows best.

Dought & clear - Is it permissible for a doctor to break the fast if he becomes tired fromtreating patients?.

Is it permissible for a doctor under normal circumstances to break the
fast if he becomes tired from treating patients? What is the ruling if
he is doing operations, some of which take a long time? Does the
ruling vary if it is an emergency case?
Praise be to Allah.
It is not permissible for adoctor to break the fast in order to treat
patients, unless the patient is in a serious condition and his
treatment depends on the attending doctor breaking the fast. In
thatcase it is permissible for the doctor to break the fast, because
he is savingsomeone from dying.
And Allah is the source ofstrength. May Allah sent blessings and peace
upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.
