Akram Nadwi – Thursday Q&A 12-11-21

			As salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh everyone, welcome back to our weekly q&a with Jeff
welcome that we every Thursday at 6pm. UK time.
		

			Thank you for joining us. I know we already have some questions. Anyone who's new, please ask your
questions in the comment of the live stream below inshallah and we will try our best to go in order.
		

			Whoever asks first inshallah so without any further ado, let's start with
		

			Sister Amina, I think her question was asked last week as well and it's a two part question. So, I
will read it out and put it on the screen.
		

			I am a GP and I have a Muslim female patient with severe frontal hair loss that affects her marriage
and mental health there is a treatment to give her a semi semi permanent solution but it involves
human hair, she wants to know is this allowed?
		

			Can you you know just
		

			Yeah, I've seen my Raheem
		

			know if you know you know there is something for the women for the beautification
		

			you know, so, you know, not to change you know, the way they look like that allowed to for example,
like you know, the hair
		

			you know, sometimes there are extra here sometime, you know, there are people you know, the hair
falls from the from the head. So, like that they're allowed to get artificially or maybe human here,
you know, if it is possible without harming anybody, because there are some parts of the body we
don't allow people to plant to eat other people, you know, take from someone else. Because, you
know, that means really that you know, the sun, the one who is donating, he is going to miss it. But
here's like that they grow and they keep coming and going, they like a blood. So transport of the
hair like like, like like the blood. So this like verta is allowed inshallah.
		

			Okay, Inshallah, let's take a question from Rayas. And his question is, how can we understand the
Hadith in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, the people of my own my will will
legalize the illegal musical instruments.
		

			You know, that hadith is a weak Hadith. So, there's not you know, right argument though. There have
been some other arguments, you know, taking from the Quranic verses or from the other Hadith, which
seems that you know, musical instruments should not be allowed in this religion. So far, for that
reason, there are many oedema who will say major consumers are Makuta hurry mio haram. But there are
also some people like Marvin Hanalei, Harry and some others, they think there is no strong evidence,
or too far a bit. Music in Islam. So it allowed by I personally feel really at least it should be
disallowed, because when people develop these desires, they waste so much of their time. On the
		

			time, they're very, very precious. So for Muslims to be busy with something, we can occupy their
time and distract them from their normal business is not easily struggling to correct. So anyway,
consider three our opinions one is, is the Makoto Romeo haram. One is a it is allowed and one is in
middle that you know should be discouraged at least you know any people do. We don't think that
they're committing sin, but litho wasting their time.
		

			Okay, insha Allah just talking to Harsha. Let's take the next question from mine Odin. And his
question is Can zakat be given towards projects like building a mosque or is it only for the poor
needy? And can it be done? Can it be donated before Ramadan?
		

			Yonder for the mosque, we don't allow it because the most should be built from the pure money of the
believers without any zakat. Because building the mosque is not obligatory is a car that goes to the
obligatory you know, news, especially the poor people, needy people. In students, you can give her a
scholarship, but not for the mosque. You know, there are
		

			Some people love also to build hospitals and buildings shelter you know for the needy people
something like that you can do but Joe in general in Hanafi madhhab the path only should be given to
the people who can own them not for a building
		

			mesh and I mentioned that in some some period allowed this thing so, you know Benny summary thing
summary of the whole matter is you can give to the needy people you can give to the students you can
develop in a built some hospitals, but not towards the mosque. And it should be you know, given at
the end of every Islamic year to eat people gives a cart in Ramadan or before Ramadan to every year
they should give their time. And what is the Carthage do it before Ramadan, then it should be given
before Ramadan if you delay it, you don't get reward, you get less reward is a catabolic Jianjun
Chawan and you pay Ramadan, you don't get more reward, you get less reward, because you have been
		

			delaying to people have to understand that delaying the first two Ramadan does not add the value.
Reward. Yeah, if you give sadaqa Ramadan Yeah, then more more reward for that. But like for the
qualify, ideally, our miser pair throughout the year and pay them in Ramadan, I'm not going to get
more reward or get sin because I delayed it. If it was a katsu, obligatory, before Ramadan, and
direct to Ramadan, you don't get reward if you get a feeling maybe some sin because you are
deferring it and delaying it unnecessarily. But many people do this mistake, the delay they're
attached to Ramadan thinking that Ramadan, they'll get more reward No, you don't get more reward for
		

			obligatory things. If it is due before Ramadan. But for sadaqa, you can give you a few more seconds
on whether you can get more rewards.
		

			Just the follow up question shift. I remember probably a few months back when you were answering one
of our questions on ticket, you were mentioning that you can pay it in you don't have to pay it all
in one go. You can pay it, for example, if you want to give you a ticket to different
		

			various different things, you can do so and if that's spread out throughout a few months. So how
would that work then? Because when you're answering it sounds like you're saying it's June like at
one time but what if someone is spread out the payments? Yeah, you're allowed to spread out payment
but you know, if lucky, no, some some data to be going to poor people, some poor students, some
suffer something else. Yeah, you're allowed to do this. But when DealerSocket unnecessarily you
won't get more reward. If something could be getting sin in a fire just get Dillinger's the cart in
order to pay Ramadan, you know that no rewarding data. But if you did as a card, because you want to
		

			money to reach to India to some new, more needy people, and you delay for the interests of the
people, then that's fine, don't get any sin. Maybe you've gotten more reward. But those people who
delay unnecessarily just because of Ramadan or something like that. They don't get any reward, extra
reward. Or maybe they get something if it is delayed from the new people do people may be needing
before that? Is it clear? Yes, that's courageous.
		

			Okay, we have a question from John Cox. And his question is on the screen, so I can can you confirm
whether the Hadith regarding the virtue of walking to Juma prayer is authentic? And he proceeds to
narrate the Hadith for us here
		

			you know, this a particular Timothy, I'm not sure but certainly you know, there are Hadith, in Sahih
Muslim and also in other books of Hadith, that those people who leave their house and go to the
mosque very early, you know, if they're very early, the good the reward of sacrificing a camel. So,
a people who come little later they get you know, a reward of giving a cow in the path of Allah
subhanaw taala some people get a reward of giving
		

			you know, a sheep in the path of Allah. Some people get reward of leopard chicken, oh, could it be a
go something smaller in the path of life depends how early you go to the mosque. So there are also
you know, general Hadith, when people do and they walk to the masjid, then their sins are forgiven
and good deeds are added to their book of the Deity. These are these are there. So you know,
certainly you know, walking to mosque especially for the Friday prayer has a lot of reward. But that
particular Hadith, I'm not sure whether how authentic it is. In because
		

			distract me there are Hadith which are sorry, there are with some weaker Hadith as well.
		

			Okay, Inshallah, let's take a question from NASA
		

			which is can we combine prayers when traveling for example or NASA during Laura time according to
the Hanafi madhhab?
		

			Yeah, just to go over every written articles you know, in so many time timeouts. So this question do
initially in Hanafi mother, they did not allow combining between Zohar also a motivation our
traveling, but there have been, you know, some Hanafi scholars in all the centuries who allowed the
combining and many in our time the Akasha called tabula rasa Allah Tala great Hanafi scholars and
some other people I know in India, you know, they're allowed, combining between the rasa and Melody
Nisha, while traveling and I myself actually give fatwa that we're traveling people can combine
between the rasa and also Nora Venetia in the time of resort also you can combine between time or
		

			water time, anytime. Similarly, when I say you can combine after sunset, unto the Father Time,
anytime.
		

			Exactly. Let's take we have another second question, which is I have a friend who is in severe debt
and it will take him many years to repay it. Is it permissible for his friends and family to give
him Zika to help repay his debts? Yeah, so, good. paying the debt of the believer is one of the
important you know, thing where you can pay your zakat. Certainly, you know, you should give you
know, zero Sakata to your friend who is indebted, you like freeing him. So you'll get these other
things where should we spend rather than the mosque because building the mosque not obligatory on
the videos. Prayer is obligatory you can pray with all the mosque but you know, poor people needy
		

			people, paying the car to them is very important obligatory Muslim must, must actually make effort
to do this. Sometimes we spend our the cart in those money in those places, withdraw agreement
reward. If you spent years apart to, you know, pay the debt of your friend, you get more reward than
paying as a cost to build a mosque. But many people don't realize these things.
		

			Okay, we have a quite an interesting question from Sonova. Can we pray for a kind hearted person who
died as a non Muslim
		

			thing is your DUA or for another Muslim will not benefit anyway?
		

			Because Allah subhanaw taala made very clear he will not forgive anybody who's an unbeliever Oh,
Mushrik you know forgiven so and also carry has far beyond the proper Salah lesson of from praying
for nemesis, if you know, certainly he died at the Muslim Muslim, then you should not pay. But if
you don't know and you think maybe that the Muslim, his heart was better, then yeah, if you're not
sure you can make the job. But you know, certainly maybe you make Do I like that instant mention
name well as the Hautala you know, forgive all the Muslims who died or forgive the people who died
on Islam, or something like that, that will include him as in.
		

			Okay, let's take another question from Ahmed. Is it okay to have him to have female friends, I don't
do anything haram but we just talk and study together
		

			basically, you know, it's things like that we don't say to haram.
		

			But, you know, shaitan is all the time there. And some time, you know, what you think it's just
simple friendship. It could be you know, shaitan can come and can could develop in a desire to
advise you will be very, very careful about these matters. You know, and if you have to meet or
revise something, then do in public with other people out there.
		

			Because we cannot, you know, don't trust yourself. Even the prophets did not like to trust
themselves in these matters. To Who are we so be very, very careful. Otherwise, you know, you find a
male friend and your female friend finds her own female friends does a much better for the hearts of
both of you. But being together, unnecessarily, can harm both of you.
		

			Okay, it is okay.
		

			And we have another question from Feriha. At what age should I start teaching my kids have gotten
		

			older and actually, you know, in this matter, very
		

			Islamic tradition has been that when the children are reached there for age of four, they start them
teaching.
		

			You know, from age four, abortive
		

			Whatever you think there are many, many people in Islam they memorize the Quran by the time when
they were seven
		

			so after you but don't know push so much because children need to grow mentally and all this even if
a deliberative it is still fine. But you can start anytime you know after for Michelle.
		

			Chef, just another question following up on this. Of course when when children are children as
parents, you send them to Koran classes or madrasa whatever you call it. But once they're at an age,
like they're in secondary school, they're maybe 1415 And they kind of thinking for themselves and
they start to see these fine clauses as more of a they find it boring or they feel like they're
forced to go what do you advise parents to do in this in this position
		

			my fingers
		

			are able to type in my own syllabus for the children maybe I can give to you and then you can follow
it to the people who are interested in that the region is really understanding so if people study
Salam I don't understand it it just a culture it does not benefit them much So then why you know
your children grow they don't find any any meaningful to go to the mosque God did nothing. No, you
know, they don't understand anything. So you have to make effort from very beginning to teach
children everything explained to them well, so they understand you know, whatever they have learned
from Islamic base on top sound, not just the culture send the Moschino the way education has been
		

			the most should be changed
		

			in a way that you know, people think that demand is growing
		

			when religion is not understood the culture and the cultures have no value it's like a dead thing.
You know, but when the region understood then it has power. There were even Islam is I don't agree
with any religious education where people don't make effort to understand.
		

			Okay, just refresher.
		

			We have a question from SN, which position position do you personally follow Dasha regarding Allah's
attributes and his abilities to see and hear? And the question whether a man can increase or not.
		

			You know, the thing in my thinking this mortal sin is that nobody can talk about Allah and nobody
can explain his attributes better than the Quran unbuttered the professor less human language are
unable to define a lot to describe as a Hautala so the way is reading the Quran, and go deeper and
deeper, you will find early Alassane Ouattara who suffered reveals to you you understanding more and
more so you know, these were math we do share their moral debate away when you want to debate
people. If you want to understand law yourself, you don't need any of the way that I personally i
peripherally all Muslims should learn about a lot of masala from the Quran. And Francis, another
		

			person, Dallas alum, without making any approach coming between them and the Lhasa hotel and you
will see, you will learn about a lot more and more. Somebody asked the master Fiano Narottama
loudhailer that what does the mean? Is Talal Arshad Liza and Arash Oh hundreds of Allah He said
leave the people that read Quran they will know to leave the people in the prophesy. Latham did not
explain these things. The companies did not ask the person to listen, because they they understood
this human language. You know, you understand by your worship and Alibaba, to all of this team
together help you to understand a smoothie or Alibaba. You're thinking you're understanding you're
		

			reading the Quran, your prayers,
		

			I will not advise you to go either way much. We do assure you any other way. I'd advise you just be
simple groups in Procoder way of the companions that apostle Allison, read the Quran, level one,
Allah, OBEY HIM worship him, Allah will reveal Himself to you inshallah.
		

			Okay, just Dr. Hersha. We have another question. How do we treat Hadith about the Sahaba having
dreams of the dead, such as the Hadith where Ebola hubs, Ebola hub comes in a dream and says his
punishment in the afterlife is lifted a little for freeing a slave
		

			the thing really easy no, dreams are very complicated matters. First in dreams don't have you know
what you will see. Even the dreams of the prophets, prophets like in a universe now so in the dream
that is in a stars 11 Stars sun and moon they are bowing to him by does not mean that it meant
something else. The professor Sun dream that you're drinking milk might not milk it milk knowledge
to people seen that dream something better than other means even the proper messenger. Our dreams
really are in something you know, most times
		

			They're not true. Sometimes they're true. But then we have to know the meaning we don't know the
meaning. So what we know from the Quran is that unbelievers, those who enter to hellfire, Allah said
the punishment will never decrease. Quran said punishment will never decrease punishment it will
keep growing all the time. So if in a dream says the punishment is decreasing, then dream is not
right. It has another meaning because only believers when they enter to her for their punishment is
not going to decrease, increase, except somebody who dies as a believer. And then he is in the in
the Hellfire for a punishment of the since some minor major since, yeah, they will be lighter
		

			punishment or they can come out but unbelievers you know, the punishment and never can be lightened.
So don't, you know, judge on the basis of any dream, and nothing really that will have died? You
know, law? No, we are not judge. I don't really think why people should worry about Ebola and other
people, we should worry about ourselves, you know, what will happen to us? You know, when we die,
how are we going to die the believers or not, this should be more worrying than Ebola. Our smallest
sin sin for us should be more worrying than the biggest sin done by Abu Lahab. So don't worry, water
will hover first Allah knows the best.
		

			Okay, let's take the next question. Again, this question is quite interesting. How do we explain
Hadith or Anneke verses on Shiva with various things such as honey black seed Rokia within 30 hands
so on, when it doesn't work in every condition or illness?
		

			First thing really no treatment can work for in every condition all the time anyway. No, no
treatment, the worry like that. So even if it comes down to Hadith, it will be the same thing I
think can work for every treatment. The prophets Allah nucynta is a medical doctor or something like
that he the messenger he has to guide people the path which can lead them to paradise and save the
from hellfire that what he came, but you know, when he was in his time, he did their best to follow
the best way like eating drinking medical treatment of their people. So whatever medical treatment
Professor Latham has used it or of that what ours had been using, same his food, halal food is a
		

			revelation for us. But you know, the, the way they cooked our culture, if you cook differently,
they're fine to Biloxi honey, they were used, you know, in those days so much. And some of these
still have, you know, benefits. But I advise people that you can use this thing, but if you have got
any severe illness, then go to your doctor, your time, your space, you know, and they will you know,
listen to them, that will deliver should do but something small, maybe you can follow some of these
things, they can be helpful, but something bigger, you should go to Doc proper doctor of your time,
and that what a prophet would have done if they have been our time. The professor Lala, people ask I
		

			shed a lot on her. How do you know so much about the medical treatments that she said the professors
used to fall ill and the doctors are of doctors used to come from everywhere and prescribe for him
that how I learned to see the powers I used to consult the specialists of his time. Same thing we
should do don't make medical treatment. You know the way the profit either religion, treatment is a
religion, people should treat themselves but not the same one can afford the product I used to eat a
theory then our foods now viewed differently by to Harar either you Talal is to follow the Sonata
proselytism.
		

			So Jeff, would you say this still benefit in in still doing things listed in this question as well
as
		

			I think this would be benefit coalminer because people have different nature different ways even
indoors, it is not every medical treatment will be good for every single person. It for some people
like honey, some people cannot digest it, it is not good for them. So it depends how people are you
know, they should concert by
		

			like reward.
		

			No, there's been no reward in following the process and it will start you know, having the food or
the proper studies or something like that. You get rewarded because you follow hallelujah. But not
because you need three except if it is because you love the Prophet sallallahu Sallam yeah then you
got to vote for the for the love not for ETS read. Oh, oh, this medical treatment because you love
the love of the professor Latham is Alibaba that does different matter. But I advise you the love
the prophets Allah Allah Silla in the big thing like his character see the miners not hurting
anybody not harming anybody. Don't you know you don't need to do that of course a dig these people
		

			used to follow him into Alibaba you know, for the purpose that He came now people want to follow the
profit in bollocks
		

			seafood and honey and distinct that nothing in anybody can do these things. But to have a character
like that control your anger to your temper in don't hurt anybody don't hurt, don't harm anybody.
These are the big things you get so much reward for that
		

			apologies Yeah. Hi, I was muted at exactly. Inshallah we'll try and take one or two more questions.
Let's take this question from Southern club.
		

			What's fatwa would you give to those in professions where they may have to do things which are
against Islam, for example, doctors and psychiatrist that have to deal with patient want to do out
on things
		

			you know, you know,
		

			when are employed by someone, you do what what requirement is there you don't impose your religion
on the people you are not doing what you want you know, haram, somebody was haram, you know, like
you can see, you know, the Muslims used to work for the Jews in Medina, and many business of that
use used to be haram, they don't get seen for that even now, you know, what am I doing fatwa in
India,
		

			that Muslims can work in the banks. And you know, and one of the big thing in the banks is, you
know, projects on on the usury interest
		

			that allowed so when you work for someone you are not responsible for you know, everything that they
do, if you have choices don't do if you don't have choice and part of your job, you know, you can do
sublet, for example, you know, somebody hires your taxi and he takes a wine or haram thing on the
taxi to his place you he pays your
		

			you know, fair, that's fine you know up to him what you do you do not ask him to table wine or
something like that you are not responsible. Same with teachers or doctors, any people sometimes
they are required to teach or some or involve stunting, which is not allowed in Islam. To me, they
don't do with their own choice, it is just because of the job, then they will be allowed Inshallah,
I hope Allah will forgive them and they should ask Allah to forgive, we should ask Allah to forgive
us all the time anyway.
