This is a translation of a fatwa that
Faleel at his shaykh Faleel
Menderkar gave
when he came to one of our masajid
here in Lesta.
We asked the Sheikh about a man that
is constantly being circulated by the people,
being ascribed to the Sheikh
Rumors
that he once gave a fitwa
or once mentioned to the people that it
is okay for them to make Hijra to
Birmingham.
And the reason why I'm retranslating it now
is simply because at the time of the
lecture,
we initially agreed that the sheikh would only
give summarized and short answers,
due to the
restriction in time and the fact that the
sheikh
gave a lecture that went well over 3
hours
and he was getting very late.
But due to the nature of the question
the Shaykh
felt that he had to
give the answer
in detail,
and because of this I didn't get the
main points that the Sheikh mentioned
down on paper,
and the translation was
not detailed how it should have been. So
inshallah in this audio, I will try to
note down and translate
every single thing that the sheikh mentioned
sentence by sentence
in order for the
individual that only knows the English language
can fully take on
what the sheikh mentioned
without
missing anything out.
The question that was put forth to the
sheikh, is it true that you once gave
a fitwa
making it permissible for someone to make hijrah
to Birmingham?
Because this is what is being circulated by
the people at the very moment.
What
I said this?
And then the people, they start bursting into
laughter.
The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam mentioned that there
is no hijrah after the conquest of Al
Makkah.
Well, then I say that it's okay for
someone to make hijrah to Birmingham
and then the people start laughing again.
The prophet
only made Hijra to 2 places, 1 to
Habashah
and the second place where he made Hijra
to was to Al Madinah,
and after the conquest of Al Makkah he
mentioned
there is no hijra after the conquest of
Al Makkah. And why did he say this?
The reason for this is because now Makkah
has become
Adar al Islam,
the lands of the Muslimen. And also Madinah
became from the lands of the Muslimen.
And all praises to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
All praises to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
then the matter finished there.
Same same
because this is now a place of
on the lands of the Muslimen, Makkah and
likewise Madinah is from the lands of the
Muslimen.
What is the difference between Birmingham and Leicester?
What's the difference between the two
places?
So what? What do we do now? Make
hijrah from this place called Leicester to Birmingham
and then we call this
hijrah
or I see myself to be then a
person that
has made Hijra?
No, O servant of Allah.
So I said to the sheikh, this is
now being spread
on numerous websites and also on forums.
The
Sheikh then replied and said,
We say to these people, bring forth your
proofs.
We say to these people,
bring forth your proofs if you are people
that are truthful.
No, O servant of Allah.
Birmingham is in Britain.
Leicester
is in Britain.
Manchester
is in Britain.
All these places are the same. What's the
difference?
The prophet
said,
there is no hijrah after the conquest of
Al Makkah.
But that which remains
is the jihad
and also making the intention.
Moving from one place to another.
For example, we
move from Kuwait to Al Madina.
Kuwait
is from the lands of the Muslimen,
and likewise, Madinah is from the lands of
the Muslimen.
But in Madina you have scholars. Isn't it
so?
And you also have the Masjid of the
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
we say to this person, Marhaban welcome if
a person wants to do this but we
don't call this a Hijra.
Rather from those that wage war on those
people that easily use the word Hijra.
I'm severe when people put forth a question
saying, I want to make Hijra
from this
place all the way till that place.
I say, no. There is no Hijra.
There is no Hijra, yeah, Sheikh.
The word
is a great legislated word with Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
The Sheikh then referred to the Muhajirun and
the Ansar.
Those that accompany the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
those that made Hisra and then those that
aided the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
And then in this time we find people
they call themselves Muhajis.
Yes. The Muhajir is the one that boycotts
and forsakes
that which Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has prohibited.
But this is not like the Hijra of
the Sahaba.
No. They passed away.
Didn't these people say make hijra to that
masjid?
Which masjid did I say again?
And tomorrow they will say to you make
hijra to Masjid Al Fulani to Fulani's Masjid.
And this is the reality that we have
today. You find people, they say this is
a sunnah mosque, a Salafi mosque.
And as for that masjid, it's a bid
a mosque.
We seek refuge in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
You Abdullah, O servant of Allah.
The Masajid
are the houses of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And pray in all of these masajid.
So I stopped the sheikh, and I said
to him, yeah, sheikh, there is an audio
in which you are saying inside this audio
whoever wants to make Hijra, then let this
person make Hijra to Birmingham, and you're ascribing
this to Sheikh Ubaid.
The sheikh then said I am not in
agreement with this speech.
I do not acknowledge
or agree with this speech that he mentioned.
So a spoke
out and said, perhaps these people, they intend
that you once gave a fit to us
saying that it's okay for someone to make
hijrah from Germany
to Birmingham.
The sheikh then said, what? I said this?
The sheikh then
mentions and and he said,
yes, I heard Sheikh Ubaid
say
this meaning,
it is okay for someone to make hijra
to Birmingham.
But the reality is, do we call this
and name it to be Hijra?
No, oh servant of Allah. We do not
call this Hijra at all.
But this goes on the
The also making the intention.
In Britain, you have that the niqab
is permitted it's allowed for a woman to
wear the niqab
and other things also
methane. For example, now I move from France
to Britain
in order
for my wife to have the ability to
wear her niqab.
This is something that is great in reward,
meaning moving from France to Britain in order
for my wife to have the ability to
wear her niqab, but we don't call this
a hijrah.
So why did these people specifically specify Birmingham?
Why don't we say the whole of Britain?
Because in the whole of England, you are
allowed to wear the niqab.
Growing your beard is allowed. Wearing your is
allowed.
Wearing the is allowed. Having masajid is allowed.
And all these things are permitted and allowed
in the whole of Britain.
We ask Allah
to make us from the munsifin,
those that are fair and just in their
speech.
And I remind you brothers and sisters
that we need to be very, very careful
ascribing things and rumors
and things that are not firm
to our beloved our
Salafi scholars,
those scholars that have spent years years
clarifying the religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And then today we come, you find some
youth
ascribing things to when
in reality the thing wasn't clear cut.
And because of this our
are being dropped.
Due to these
very childish matters
that are ascribed to the mashaikh.
We ask Allah
to make us from those that preserve our
tongues,
and we ask Allah
to not make us from those who speak
about the honor of their mashaikh.
Wallahi, the reason why we decided to put
forth this question to Sheikh Fala Ismail,
is because this is now becoming
very, very common. It's very, very easy for
today for someone to come and ascribe something
to a sheikh,
and to make us from those that I
mentioned in the hadith.
Whoever defends the honor of his brother,
then Allah
has made a right upon himself
to protect this individual from the fire.
And this hadith was authenticated by Imam Al
Albani,
Rahimahullah.
Brothers and sisters, may Allah
give you
and make us from those who preserve the
integrity of our scholars.
