Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato Bismillah Al Rahman Rahim
Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. While he was
having a domain, I have received a question
which is to do with the unprecedented situation we have,
where people cannot go on prayer therapy at home at the masajid. So
they ended up without any choice except to do it at home.
And at home, they face this situation where the husband
is not a scholar of Islam is not a recital of Quran. And whether the
wife is she has, maybe sometimes she's a half either of Quran
or she can read better, she has Tajweed that she has mastered the
art of Tajweed. And she's also knowledgeable in Islam. So either
any any last ruling in Islam, allowing that woman who is to lead
her family, her husband, her children, and maybe her parents,
and maybe her brothers and sisters, at home, in therapy, is
it allowed?
Of course, the answer to this question is that you will get the
ready made answer from our
standard scholarship is that it cannot be done. You know, when
they would quote Sandra, dubious traditions, our hero will not keep
woman back, they should go back they are not supposed to. Men have
been endowed with this honor, a privilege and you cannot take it
away from men and men should be leading all the time.
Of course I agree with them, that in Islam,
we are not allowed to appoint a woman to lead us in a masjid in
Joomla. We cannot we cannot do that. I don't agree with that. And
I have given a detailed answer on this issue and you can access it.
But the question of a woman leading
for her family members who are not who are her Muharram
are no strangers to her.
Is there any allowance? Any precedent? In in in the in the
Sunnah of the Prophet and the practice of the pious predecessors
for it?
Yes, I would say there is a person for it. There is a tradition
reported Ramadan Dhabi and others. We say that Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam appointed OMO Baraka, who was the woman well known for her
expertise in the Quran,
to lead her family members in Salah
and the Prophet also appointed them for her
who was an elderly man, this is a Hadith some people have cast
doubts on it, but I will tell you others have accepted it, including
Mohammed Guna, humble and even a marine and others. When others
question the narrator they have said he is a reliable person and
the Hadees is sound. So, you cannot question the expertise of
Imam Muhammad when humble or Abram windy are, you know eminent
scholars of Hadith or critiques of Hadith? You know, so you cannot
easily dismiss this. Something in vendored or dubious or spurious?
No, it is a valid it's a sound tradition. And that is why a
number of scores including robbery, Jury recovery, who is one
of the greatest Mufasa seen, No one writes a tafsir without
referring to his Tafseer is a foundational text intercede and
also Mazuri abou Sol, and some others have also allowed this and
based on this tradition, Imam Ahmed will humble also approved
the entire army and have offered prayers where women may be more.
You have a situation of woman be more knowledgeable in Quran and
Islam. She should be allowed to lead the prayer
And this was also endorsed by another great scholar of Islam. In
mobility we are some people will cast doubts on his authenticity.
But definitely, he has been considered a shareholder Islam by
so many more than a dozen of great eminent scholars is definitely in
spite of all those criticism against him. I don't agree with
some of his views, but that was not as a minute a shower EULA,
very sad. You know, he's a man who respected who regard her highly
even RB, the suit, Sufi Sheikh, and even a TV at the same time.
Some people will say, how can you reconcile the two and this is the
comprehensive nature of showering with the hula we who whose mind
can be said both of them are only Allah has some of the best scores
of Islam. And so of course, don't dismiss Imam and Beretania even if
you accept even RMB or share a shareholder Akbar, he shareholders
even a Tamia is also a shareholder Islam. So this is a valid ruling
you can follow. And actually I came to this conclusion. You know,
when I started out in my fatwa 25 years ago, I was it was forced
upon me. Islam online forced me to give this fatwa so on their
website. So this question came, you have lot of cases of, you
know, women, Muslim women who are sometimes quarters in Islam,
marry, convert, and this person doesn't is new to Islam. He
doesn't even read fattier properly. So this question came,
can that woman lead her husband and he's able to read the Quran
properly and lead I had, I saw I probably the sources, I found
this. And then later on also, I found out that one of the greatest
callers who died a few years ago, Professor Hamidullah from Paris,
he's a great scholar of Islam, his contribution, very high
contributions to the course of Islam, on Sierra and other sources
on the works of the prophets and allowed Islam. He also came up
with this ruling, you know, because this question was posed to
him also, because he was living in Paris, and there were converts to
Islam, who did not know how to read Quran and their wife were
able to read. So the fatwa he gives the fatwa Yes, she can lead
for her family. So I will just fatwa to allow for women who are
researchers, proper researchers to run or to fall to lead the family
members, of course, only family members and variable this time.
If it was required for Omar to stand behind, then Prophet would
have told her, yes, you should lead, but go and pray stand behind
to leave them.
You know, in the Sharia, you know, when there is a need for an issue
to be explained clearly, a rule to be explained clearly. And the
Prophet did not do so. If he is silent, then we are not supposed
to impose that restriction. So she can stand afterall what is that?
She is not avoiding to distract her husband. She's not going to
distract her parents or children.
If this distraction is the point, then of course, in the Haram is
happening. We know women are praying in front of men in each
situation, and our situation. And the Prophet himself. We know from
the president of the Prophet, he used to pray and actually learn is
lying in front of him.
If you have a wife cause a distraction, how will the prophets
that allows him allow her to lie down in front of him? So I would
say she can lead and stand in front and others can follow. She
doesn't need to go forward as an auditor. If you want to do that.
That's fine. Otherwise, she can just step one step ahead, and
stand and lead others can follow. And my last one, oh, God help us.
We have said it right. It is a gift from Allah subhanaw taala and
accepted, what is wrong, may Allah forgive us. And it's an EGTRRA in
Etihad, you cannot condemn anybody. Unfortunately, our scores
are in a rush, whatever. They don't know the difference with the
condom. This is one the quality of Islamic scholarship because Islam,
one of the first principle there is to teach malaria
Hey,
Yara Militello
lumea Schumer, whoever doesn't know the difference of opinion in
issue of fake, he did not even smell it, let alone master it.
Because otherwise you are going to condemn people who hold a
different view. So, respect each other, even if we differ, this is
the precedent set by Iris by the prophets allows him also and
because resources allows him condone this differences. I will
explain it later on. And the Sahaba differ and yet they prayed
behind each other, respected each other. This is the tradition we
need to follow. A Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
