Because they make tahakum to the Tawot or
United Nations. They are kafir because they make
tawali, allied with the kufar against Muslims, and
they are fighting against Islam. They are careful
because they
legislate, they make tashril, they make isti halal,
they make the alcohol halal, they make the
gambling halal. Millions countries, They make even prostitution
halal. You know? They make, some of them
even Saudi Arabia. They make their their interest.
The river halal as well. So there are
many reasons why they are they are Kufar.
Not just 1, but no one of them
should be allowed to be corrupted or all
the people misguided in those matters.
As you all heard the Prophet say now
That the rulers are kafir for many different
reasons.
And that Saudi Arabia they make interest halal.
Saudi Arabia, they make interest halal.
And this is something that is known with
this brahwa.
When Ustad Abdul Hasan debated him in the
Khilafah debate, he said that the lands
of Makkah and Madinah
are the lands of the Kufar.
Makkah and Madinah are the lands of the
Kufar.
Kayb.
Before inshallah ta'ala, I move on to explaining
this doubt
because there's many many different things that he
mentioned in the video as you'll have heard.
But I just want to concentrate on this
one matter,
which is the issue of Istihlal.
What what is the ruling of Istihlal?
What is the meaning of Istihlal?
How do I know when a person has
fallen into Istihlal?
This is what I'm going to go into
in a minute insha Allahu Ta'ala.
But before I do that,
brothers and sisters, why I want to make
clear here
is
the importance of clarifying
the doubts
of the people of innovation.
Clarifying the situation of the people of innovation.
You find some people they will close this
bar, this door altogether.
And they call it what? This guy is
insulting or this guy is doing Reebah. He
is backbiting.
But in reality, this is something that is
part of the religion.
And it's a form of jihad, striving.
The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he mentioned in the hadith that was narrated
by Imam Muslim.
Of when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
said,
There was never a Prophet that was sent
before me.
Except
that he had from his Umma, from the
people that were with him.
And he had companions who used to take
from his sunnah.
Used to take
and imitate his guidance.
Then
after them came people.
They used to say that which they never
done.
And they used to do the which they
were commanded with.
Then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,
for mummin.
Whoever strives against them with his hand, he's
a believer.
And whoever strives against them with his tongue,
he's a believer.
And whoever strives against them with his heart,
he's a believer.
And after that there is no mustard grain
of iman remaining.
So what does that show you? Striving against
the people of innovation
is a form of jihad. Did I say
this? The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
this, and this hadith narration is found in
Sahih Muslim. Also, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam said,
Do not let the fear of the people
prevent you
to say the truth.
If a person sees it,
Or when a person
hears it or witnesses
it. The hadith was narrated by my Muhammad
on the authority of Abi Saeed al Khudri
Radiallahu
An.
So when you hear Baatil, or when you
see Baatil, or when you witness Baatil, the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is telling you, do
not let the fear of the people stop
you from saying the Haqq.
Speaking the Haqq is a form of rifah
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala raising you.
And this is what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam
told Ubaid ibn Samit.
Ubaid ibn Samit said,
We gave our oath of allegiance to to
the prophet
in
the ease times of ease and the times
of hardship.
To listen and obey. In
times of ease and times of hardship.
And also
when there is greed against us,
when we are oppressed.
And not to go against the ruler
until you see clear cut kufr.
And the point I'm trying to get across
here is this statement.
That we say the Haqq wherever we are,
and we don't fear the blame of the
blamers.
Speaking the truth
when you see it, hear it.
And not fearing the blame. And the blame
is is what the Sahaba they gave Baya
to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam upon.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he cursed.
As Allah
mentions
Israel. Many Israel, they were cursed.
From those that have disbelieved.
That was because they used to violate
and they were disobedient.
Why did Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala curse them?
They never used to disapprove of the munkar
that they or the people used to be
in front of them.
And also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
You now disapproving of the evil that's taking
place around you is a form of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala saving you from the destruction
that might take place.
And when they forgot what they were reminded
with,
we save those who used to prohibit
the evil that used to take place. So
the issue of
is something that is known
and concrete in our religion.
Ibn Taymih Rahim Allah Ta'ala he mentions in
his Majmuh Al Fatawah, volume 28, page 231.
It was said to him that it is
hard for me.
It is hard for me to say that
this guy is like this and this guy
is like this.
This is Imam Mohammed.
It's being said to.
So he said to him, if I keep
quiet now and you keep quiet as well.
How are the people meant to differentiate between
the Jahil Sahih?
And the guy that is sick, the ignorant
guy that
is sick,
misguided individual.
And also how are the people meant to
know and differentiate
between the scholars of Bidah.
From those who have speeches
that go against the kitab and the sunnah
or
those who call to worship that go against
the Quran and the sunnah.
For indeed clarifying their situation and warning against
them,
it is wajib. It is compulsory,
unanimously agreed on by the Muslims.
It was also said to Ahmed
a man he fasts,
and he prays,
and he performs
the Iatikaf.
Is the one that fasts, prays.
And
we're talking about the Nawafil here. Is this
person more beloved to you than the one
that speaks against the people of innovation and
clarifies the situation?
If this person now prays
and he fast and he does also
This is only for himself.
He's only benefiting himself.
But when this person now speaks about the
people of innovation, makes their situation clear,
This is for the Muslims.
Yeah. I mean, this is something that is
universal. A lot of people benefit from.
And this is more
virtuous.
And he clarified and made it clear that
this brings bigger benefit
to more,
the general Muslims.
That when he does this like it brings
more benefit to them in their religion and
this is now from the forms of jihad.
So inshallah to Allah, what we need to
understand?
What is the meaning of istihlal?
When this brother now mentioned that Saudi Arabia
make Riba Halal.
None.
He has made clear of Saudi Arabia from
this angle, even though he mentioned other things
but Insha'Allah Ta'ala in
upcoming episodes we're gonna clarify every single one.
But at this very moment we need to
know the meaning of Istihlal.
Taib. Iblutimir Rahimu Allah Ta'ala he mentions in
Majumah Al Fatawah, volume number 3 page 267.
When a person now makes halal,
something that is haram that has been unanimously
agreed upon.
Oh haramal halalal Mujma'alai. Or he makes haram
something that is halal and has been unanimously
agreed upon. Oh baddala sharal mujma'alai. Or he
replaces a legislation that has been unanimously agreed
upon.
This guy is a kafir. He's a Muftad
apostate
and this has been unanimously agreed by the
fuqaha.
So, let me give you an example.
We know that pork is haram and it
is known in the religion of Al Isla
with what? With Durura. Are you there with
me?
Do Does anyone have any doubt that pork
is haram? Everybody knows this.
If I come tomorrow and I say that
pork is halal.
What have I done? I've made something that
is haram halal.
And this is the halal. Azimnataym mentioned.
Are you there with me?
To make something that is haram
halal or to make something that is halal
haram.
I know salat is halal, something that is
permissible. If I say to the people, no,
salat is haram. What have I done? I've
done this to halal.
We know that killing is haram. If I
say to the tomorrow halal. It's the halal.
May something that is haram halal. Likewise, zina.
We know it's haram.
If I come tomorrow and say it's halal,
I've made this halal. And this is kufrun.
And also he mentions,
And if someone now does something that is
haram, but he what?
Makes it halal for our kafir. This person
is a kafir be tifaq.
Unanimously agreed upon.
So is that clear? Is the meaning of
istihlal clear?
Taib. 2 things that I want the people
to understand today and they are the two
main things that
I want to speak about is what is
the meaning of istihlal? So if you understood
it good.
The second thing is how do I know
when someone now is performing istihlal or falling
into istihlal?
And the third thing all is also Ikhwani
that we need to pay attention to.
What is the issue of Istihlal?
Is it from the matters of the heart?
Is it not from the matters of the
heart?
Are you there with me? Yeah?
Is it from the matters of the heart?
Is it not from the matters of the
heart? Ibn Atayim Rahimullah Ta'ala he mentions,
If a servant now does
a sin,
At the same time he believes that Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala has
made this haram.
That when a servant, he does something now,
a sin and at the same time he
believes.
And Allah haramahu ta'ala
he has made his haram.
And at the same time he submits and
believes
that which is made haram and also that
which is made
wajib.
So when a person now is doing something
that is haram, at the same time he
knows that which he's doing is haram,
nam.
And at the same time he submits to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in the matters that
have been made compulsory, in the matters that
have been made Haram. This person is not
kafir. So now now now brings us to
example now.
If someone is drinking alcohol for 45 years,
or is performing zina for 60 years.
Pay attention here.
If someone is doing is drinking alcohol for
50 years or 45 years, however long it
might be,
Or you're doing Zina for 60 years.
He believes what he's doing is haram.
Can we call this guy kafir? We can't
call this guy kafir.
Because he knows that this is haram. At
the same time, he's doing a major sin.
Which is
It's a major sin.
So that way should be underlined is the
word
Yeah. Should be underlined.
That shows you what? That this is now
from the matters of the heart.
It is from the matters of the heart.
We can't say to a guy, you're only
drinking alcohol
because you believe it to be halal.
Because you have been drinking it for so
long, you believe it to be halal. We
can't do that. Why?
Because from the matters of the heart.
Are you with me?
Because another thing we need to understand that
they do not judge people
except with that which is apparent.
And I mentioned this last week as well.
And we don't go looking at indications this
guy has done it for so long. Okay.
This action indicates
Rather we take from the apparent.
Rather we take from the apparent. Where is
this taken from? The Qissa of Usam ibn
Azaydin RadiAllahu Anhu.
What do you call it? The man.
The Usam ibn Azaydin got hold of, he
was what? He was slicing the Muslims.
He was chopping their heads off. Are you
with me? Usam ibn Azid got hold of
him and the man said La ilaha illallah.
What does it show?
What are the indications? If we look at
it now from a very long angle, what
does it show now?
He did out of fear. He did out
of fear. And this is the exact same
thing that Usamin al Zaidin, radiAllahu a'ala, mentioned.
He only said
out of fear.
What did the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
say to him?
Did you kill him now after he said
Did you cut his heart open to see
as to what his intentions were?
Are you now with me? Even though the
indications were negative,
his actions shows otherwise.
But the fact that he said
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam addressed him
and spoke to him in the manner that
he spoke to him about simply because he
killed him after he said, la ilaha illallah.
So the point I'm trying to get across
here and derive from this is that what
the Qara'il,
the indications,
we do not judge people with indications.
And at the same time, we have to
pay attention here
that
are between 2 people.
You have the Murja
who say as long as a person says,
no matter what he does, it doesn't affect
it.
So I could be saying prostrating to a
salam or prostrating to a grave, and at
the same time be a Muslim.
Are you now with me?
I could be prostrating
to a grave at the same time.
I could say the guy is Muslim because
he says, and this is what the Murjia
say. The Ahmad has been taken out
altogether.
And
you have on the other side some of
these brothers,
those who have been afflicted
and they've been trialed with
the guy, he's only doing this because he
believes it to be halal.
The guy has been drinking alcohol for 45
years because he believes it to be halal.
Otherwise, he wouldn't do it. Why would you
do it?
When the guy is telling you, When the
guy is Ahiyawllahi,
make dua for me. I don't know why
I'm doing is wrong.
If they see a guy that says
Let's just say in a battlefield.
We refrain from him. Then after that if
there's
We find
These guys now doing acts of Kufr, Allah
says shakam changes.
Are you now with me? How we judge
them from the apparent? Then after that, they
start doing actions that go against the
the guy's changes.
We judge him from the apparent, which goes
against the Takfiris.
And at the same time the hukm changes
after kufriya become apparent, that goes against the
Muur Jahu are on the other side of
this issue. So you have Taifatan,
2 groups have understood, misunderstood
the issue of Usami ibn Zayed in an
incorrect manner. And you have Al As Sunnatiwal
Jamara who have taken a balanced approach when
it came to this matter.
And you find a lot of people, a
lot of groups taking this hadith,
explaining it
in their own way, and it causes a
lot of ambiguity
and a lot of things are unclear.
Taib. How do we know now when someone
has done?
How do we know when someone has done
istihlal?
We just mentioned before the istihlal is from
the matters of the heart.
How can one now find out if a
person now has fallen into Stihlal?
Shafal Al Fawazan and also Ibn Uthayimin,
they've got very very similar speeches.
Now I'm gonna read out the kalam of
Sharsal Al Fozan.
Sharsal Al Fozan was asked about the general
principles
that is upon Altaalib Il, a student of
knowledge to know.
So that he's able to know when making
a ruling against a guy
from the people that he's someone that is
doing his sihalal.
Lil Maasiati.
He's doing something of Istihalal
in regards to the sin. Al Mujma'ala Takhreemihah
Something that has been unanimously agreed upon.
Fajaba
wa fakahullah
wa halfiza.
So he answered by saying
The general principle that shows
that when one now is doing
The one makes it clear
with his tongue that is halal.
Sorry.
So that one makes it clear.
Either with his tongue or with his pen.
So until a person now says,
Zina is halal.
We cannot know what this person believes until
he says it with his tongue. Because we
just mentioned the kanaaba Bimnatayim When
he says
and I told you not to underline
it. From the matters of the heart, one
cannot find out what's in my heart until
I actually save my tongue. Or I write
down here on the board, nam
that reba is halal.
Are you now with me?
And that's the only way one can find
out if someone is doing istihlal.
And another zabit that I'm going to mention
insha Allah is
Waibnataymur
Rahimullah Ta'ala mentioned
when it comes to
one doing Istihlal
based upon Istihad.
He says in the 7th volume, page 71.
So, the guy now that's making something that
is halal haram,
or something that is halal
or haram halal.
If this person now is striving to try
and get the right answer,
His intention now, his purpose,
Itiba'ur Rasool.
It is to follow the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam alaihi
wa sallam.
But at the same time the truth has
become hidden from him.
And this person is fearing Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala to the best of his ability.
Like someone from the Sunna now, who fears
Allah known to be from the people of
Itiba.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala won't hold this person
to account with his mistake.
You see
he gives this person a reward for his
Istihad.
And
and this person will become rewarded
for the ishtihad
in when he tried to worship his Lord.
Are you with me? Sometimes this tihalal can
take place from
an imam. He can make something that is
haram halal.
But he does it based upon his tihal.
He does it based upon his tihal,
striving to try and get the right answer.
Someone striving to get the right answer and
he falls into istihlal and you cannot make
takfir of him straight away.
Ravadeshuroot,
there's Mawani that we need to take into
consideration.
Nam? So
I just a very very quick recap.
Five things that we need to take into
consideration. The first thing is what?
The meaning of Istihlal,
which we mentioned of the kalam of Ibn
Taymah Rahimullah Ta'ala.
The second thing, it is from the matters
of the heart.
The third thing,
they do not.
Judge the people with indications.
The 4th
thing, how do we know when someone is
falling into
Someone makes the clay either with his tongue
or with what?
With his pen. He writes it down.
And at the same time brothers and sisters,
I'm gonna make it clear,
Nam, that
we do not defend. We do not defend
those people who are falling into major sin.
Wallahi, we don't.
Rather is a kabeeramin
kabaerizdunub
To deal with interest,
and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
All you who believe, leave of that which
remains from Riba, if you are believers.
And
if you don't stop this, then you are
proclaiming war with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Riba is a major sin from the destructive
sins. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said.
Stay away from the 7 destructive sins. From
the things that he mentioned.
And there's many many
talk about the Herman Arriba.
But at the same time, Ikhwani, we need
to differentiate. And I repeat this again due
to its importance.
We need to differentiate
between me allowing my father
to go take a loan
or me telling my son go take that
loan
Or me allowing prostitution to come into my
house. Does that necessitate that this halal? It
doesn't necessitate that. If I know that's wrong,
and I say to Ahi Wallahi, I know
what I'm doing is wrong.
I believe that what I'm doing is wrong,
and I know Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has
made wajib for me.
This is a major sin and it is
not istihlal.
And this is wallah, these brava, they don't
tend to differentiate between.
Someone doing a particular action, and someone what
making something halal, which is from the matters
of the heart.
And like we mentioned time and time again,
Ikhwani.
We take the
We do not defend the rulers on their
mistakes and their major sins.
That's why when Shariah
is when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
said,
Whoever now wants to advise a ruler.
Let this person
not do this openly.
Let him take him by the hand and
seclude himself with him.
That's what the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told
us. And then he mentioned.
If he accept from you, then that's it.
The person he has established and fulfilled that
which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has. Fulfilled them
to do, told them to do. And Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala also says,
Do not dispute on those on behalf of
those who oppress themselves.
And also the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
said,
And whoever aids them in their oppression
and believes their oppression, then these people are
not from me.
And whoever now
aids them upon their oppression. And also what?
Believes them in their oppression. This person is
not from me and I'm not from him.
So is that clear? We do not defend
them on their mistakes.
We do not defend
them on their mistake.
Rather we take the asbaab sharaya.
Which is to
advise them and we don't have the ability
we write a letter to them.
And that's what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
told us. So until we find Saudi Arabia
coming out and saying,
That reba is halal either clearly with their
tongues or from a not from any damek
and harry that is basically walking in the
middle of the road. That's a surudilaha.
Official spokesman coming out and saying this halal,
this is harab.
Then until then, we're not able to judge
them with falling into istihlal and Allah
knows best.
