00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			This is a translation of a fatwa that
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			Faleel at his shaykh Faleel
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			Menderkar gave
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			when he came to one of our masajid
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			here in Lesta.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			We asked the Sheikh about a man that
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			is constantly being circulated by the people,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			being ascribed to the Sheikh
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:28
			Rumors
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			that he once gave a fitwa
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			or once mentioned to the people that it
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			is okay for them to make Hijra to
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			Birmingham.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			And the reason why I'm retranslating it now
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			is simply because at the time of the
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			lecture,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			we initially agreed that the sheikh would only
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			give summarized and short answers,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			due to the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			restriction in time and the fact that the
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			sheikh
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			gave a lecture that went well over 3
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			hours
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			and he was getting very late.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			But due to the nature of the question
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			the Shaykh
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			felt that he had to
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			give the answer
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			in detail,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			and because of this I didn't get the
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			main points that the Sheikh mentioned
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			down on paper,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			and the translation was
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			not detailed how it should have been. So
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			inshallah in this audio, I will try to
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			note down and translate
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			every single thing that the sheikh mentioned
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			sentence by sentence
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			in order for the
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			individual that only knows the English language
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			can fully take on
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			what the sheikh mentioned
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			without
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			missing anything out.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			The question that was put forth to the
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			sheikh, is it true that you once gave
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			a fitwa
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			making it permissible for someone to make hijrah
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			to Birmingham?
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			Because this is what is being circulated by
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			the people at the very moment.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:13
			What
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			I said this?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			And then the people, they start bursting into
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			laughter.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam mentioned that there
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			is no hijrah after the conquest of Al
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			Makkah.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			Well, then I say that it's okay for
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			someone to make hijrah to Birmingham
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			and then the people start laughing again.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			The prophet
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			only made Hijra to 2 places, 1 to
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			Habashah
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			and the second place where he made Hijra
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			to was to Al Madinah,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			and after the conquest of Al Makkah he
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			mentioned
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			there is no hijra after the conquest of
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			Al Makkah. And why did he say this?
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			The reason for this is because now Makkah
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			has become
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			Adar al Islam,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			the lands of the Muslimen. And also Madinah
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			became from the lands of the Muslimen.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			And all praises to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			All praises to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			then the matter finished there.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			Same same
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			because this is now a place of
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			on the lands of the Muslimen, Makkah and
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			likewise Madinah is from the lands of the
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			Muslimen.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			What is the difference between Birmingham and Leicester?
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			What's the difference between the two
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			places?
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			So what? What do we do now? Make
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			hijrah from this place called Leicester to Birmingham
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			and then we call this
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:18
			hijrah
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			or I see myself to be then a
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			person that
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			has made Hijra?
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			No, O servant of Allah.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			So I said to the sheikh, this is
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			now being spread
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			on numerous websites and also on forums.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			The
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			Sheikh then replied and said,
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			We say to these people, bring forth your
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			proofs.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			We say to these people,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			bring forth your proofs if you are people
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			that are truthful.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			No, O servant of Allah.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			Birmingham is in Britain.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:28
			Leicester
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			is in Britain.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			Manchester
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			is in Britain.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			All these places are the same. What's the
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			difference?
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			The prophet
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			said,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			there is no hijrah after the conquest of
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			Al Makkah.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			But that which remains
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			is the jihad
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			and also making the intention.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			Moving from one place to another.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			For example, we
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			move from Kuwait to Al Madina.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:26
			Kuwait
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			is from the lands of the Muslimen,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			and likewise, Madinah is from the lands of
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			the Muslimen.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			But in Madina you have scholars. Isn't it
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			so?
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			And you also have the Masjid of the
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			we say to this person, Marhaban welcome if
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			a person wants to do this but we
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			don't call this a Hijra.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			Rather from those that wage war on those
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			people that easily use the word Hijra.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			I'm severe when people put forth a question
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			saying, I want to make Hijra
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			from this
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			place all the way till that place.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			I say, no. There is no Hijra.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			There is no Hijra, yeah, Sheikh.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			The word
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			is a great legislated word with Allah Subhanahu
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:48
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			The Sheikh then referred to the Muhajirun and
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			the Ansar.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			Those that accompany the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			those that made Hisra and then those that
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			aided the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			And then in this time we find people
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			they call themselves Muhajis.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			Yes. The Muhajir is the one that boycotts
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			and forsakes
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			that which Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has prohibited.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			But this is not like the Hijra of
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:33
			the Sahaba.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			No. They passed away.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			Didn't these people say make hijra to that
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:58
			masjid?
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			Which masjid did I say again?
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			And tomorrow they will say to you make
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:10
			hijra to Masjid Al Fulani to Fulani's Masjid.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			And this is the reality that we have
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			today. You find people, they say this is
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			a sunnah mosque, a Salafi mosque.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			And as for that masjid, it's a bid
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:31
			a mosque.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			We seek refuge in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			You Abdullah, O servant of Allah.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			The Masajid
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			are the houses of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			And pray in all of these masajid.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			So I stopped the sheikh, and I said
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			to him, yeah, sheikh, there is an audio
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			in which you are saying inside this audio
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			whoever wants to make Hijra, then let this
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			person make Hijra to Birmingham, and you're ascribing
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			this to Sheikh Ubaid.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			The sheikh then said I am not in
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			agreement with this speech.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			I do not acknowledge
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			or agree with this speech that he mentioned.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			So a spoke
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			out and said, perhaps these people, they intend
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			that you once gave a fit to us
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			saying that it's okay for someone to make
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			hijrah from Germany
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			to Birmingham.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			The sheikh then said, what? I said this?
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			The sheikh then
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			mentions and and he said,
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			yes, I heard Sheikh Ubaid
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			say
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			this meaning,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			it is okay for someone to make hijra
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			to Birmingham.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			But the reality is, do we call this
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			and name it to be Hijra?
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			No, oh servant of Allah. We do not
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			call this Hijra at all.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			But this goes on the
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			The also making the intention.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			In Britain, you have that the niqab
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			is permitted it's allowed for a woman to
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			wear the niqab
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			and other things also
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			methane. For example, now I move from France
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			to Britain
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			in order
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			for my wife to have the ability to
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			wear her niqab.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			This is something that is great in reward,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			meaning moving from France to Britain in order
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			for my wife to have the ability to
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			wear her niqab, but we don't call this
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:26
			a hijrah.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			So why did these people specifically specify Birmingham?
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			Why don't we say the whole of Britain?
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			Because in the whole of England, you are
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			allowed to wear the niqab.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			Growing your beard is allowed. Wearing your is
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			allowed.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			Wearing the is allowed. Having masajid is allowed.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			And all these things are permitted and allowed
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			in the whole of Britain.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			We ask Allah
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			to make us from the munsifin,
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			those that are fair and just in their
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			speech.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			And I remind you brothers and sisters
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			that we need to be very, very careful
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			ascribing things and rumors
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			and things that are not firm
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			to our beloved our
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			Salafi scholars,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			those scholars that have spent years years
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			clarifying the religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			And then today we come, you find some
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:52
			youth
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			ascribing things to when
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			in reality the thing wasn't clear cut.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			And because of this our
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			are being dropped.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			Due to these
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			very childish matters
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			that are ascribed to the mashaikh.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			We ask Allah
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			to make us from those that preserve our
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:13
			tongues,
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			and we ask Allah
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			to not make us from those who speak
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			about the honor of their mashaikh.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			Wallahi, the reason why we decided to put
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			forth this question to Sheikh Fala Ismail,
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			is because this is now becoming
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			very, very common. It's very, very easy for
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			today for someone to come and ascribe something
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:36
			to a sheikh,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			and to make us from those that I
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			mentioned in the hadith.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			Whoever defends the honor of his brother,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:48
			then Allah
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			has made a right upon himself
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			to protect this individual from the fire.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			And this hadith was authenticated by Imam Al
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:57
			Albani,
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:58
			Rahimahullah.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			Brothers and sisters, may Allah
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:02
			give you
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			and make us from those who preserve the
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			integrity of our scholars.
