Akram Nadwi – Weekly Q&A 14-07-2023

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Salam or aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
everyone. Welcome back to the ASI weekly q&a worship Akram nadwi. On every Thursday at 6pm BST.
Without further ado, let's begin shall we have some private questions that have come in? So let's
start with those. The first question is, is it permissible for a non Muslim man and woman to sit
together in a car for the purpose of a work journey, even if there is desire, what about traveling
alone in an elevator
		

			Okay, this one low,
		

			you know, I explained, you know, I said before the villa. So, what you need to understand is that,
you know, Allah subhanaw taala has created the men or women for testing, and he has given them space
to he wants to make them happy, he did not want to put difficulty on their life unnecessarily.
		

			But, but at the same time, because he tested them to some time, you know, there are things which can
involve sin. So Allah guide them teach them how to avoid the sin in the relationship, the men and
women, you know, when they are not married, and where they are not very close Muharram then the
advice of Islam is that they have to make a difference between private space and public space. In
private space, women were whatever they like,
		

			and non Muharram are not allowed to enter into their house, they have to talk to them behind from
behind the curtain
		

			in public space, then the women have a responsibility to private space, men have a responsibility
not to intrude upon them not to, you know, talk to the mixer behind the curtain. But in public
space, we may have a responsibility to come out with jilbab they put on a loose suit over the cloth,
and not to apply any perfume or something, or not to, you know, make the appearance more attractive.
So when they do this then allowed to use public space, like, you know, traveling in the bus, train,
aeroplane, even a car, or you know, things like that I learned safer because sometime in the
distance going to be unsafe, same thing, you know, like lift, but if they feel that, you know, a
		

			certain person is dangerous, or there could be problems, then this you have, like an even medically,
two men, it was sometimes there's somebody drunk on Ironman, too, I would avoid to be in the same
lift with him. You know, somebody's drunk. People don't like to sit there. I remember once I was
traveling,
		

			in a bus, in front in Bombay, and somebody, you know, rode the bus, everybody left the bus. Does
that mean all of the amendment. So when somebody dangerous to save women, they can use the public
space as long as they feel safe, and that no desire, but when they feel no, it will involve any sin,
or some desire or something harmful to them, then they have to judge and avoid. So then they keep it
they will be able to use public space in the future ever. But once something goes wrong, you will be
so scared that you can't do anything. So that why is best thing to be cautious in this life. So
yeah, you can use public space, no harm, but I started to realize the danger or something wrong,
		

			then be careful.
		

			Just like locate and share the next private question that we have is the Imam is strict at my local
madrasa. He said only one sized haircuts are allowed for men. So all hair must be the same size. I
mentioned there is a Hadith prohibiting men from having hair cuts where their hair differs in
length. What is the hokum on this issue? And am I allowed to have the trendy hair cuts that most men
have nowadays?
		

			Yeah, you know, is the Imam actually right? The prophets Allah has forbidden from such a hair cutter
which is called cassava. So we're, you know, the hairs are an equal, you know, there's not really
many basically that that the people in any society, they should wear the cloth and dress and here is
tile, you know, applying to the noble people or the society. So sometimes the society there are
people you know, who are just kind of, you know, her fashion, like people who are calling our
society as good people or something like that. Don't follow their footsteps, because they are not
the real example of the society to noble people, to here should be all with equal to when you go to,
		

			you know, a barber asked him to cut your hair
		

			shorter, they're equal from all the sides. How can you kind of get like I, you know, for nearly 30
years, I got a machine at home, and somebody just got zero, and the same number, you know, there are
no cost, you know nothing. And then I do my work, you know, that no, nothing to worry about the
Harrisdale anywhere in the life, there are things which are more important anyway. But some people
waste their time about the hair, about the dress about all those things to the car dwelt in the
life.
		

			Just Arklow head and check. The next question is,
		

			why do Imams lack wisdom, and sometimes just give blanket fatwas or answers? It's very misleading in
terms of Islamic knowledge about issues. And it's hard to trust who has knowledge that we can seek
guidance from? Know your question is a very, very important question. Really, the problem with
education really, you know, people think to become a mommy something easy, just memorize some Surah
or something like that. The Imam themselves don't understand this region properly and deeply. So
they just copy the fatwa, every human being is different. You have to understand their case, the
society where they live in what they can do what they cannot do. So in then you advise them
		

			according to the, you know, in a way that they can live in the society properly as a Muslim, you
know, you can't just copy a photo of India and apply to the people in a different society. So this
is a very bad education really, for the monster, even if our move to must move to extreme where the
father, you know, divided the divided believers, they have the believers, and they do so many wrong
things.
		

			You know, sometimes if somebody divorced his wife, three times in Go, then they'll say to the former
divorce, and then the woman had to marry someone in the Iranian marriage for one night or two nights
with someone. Huge problem, and it's such an ugly thing. But all the moms do this. So you know, I
myself really don't I'm not happy with the way all the fatwa going and imams are teaching it the
whole society should be concerned and the Imams the teachers should be deeper and, and they
understand the society properly. They should be trained properly, how to advise people. In addition,
understand the society that they live in. Imams should like study social sociology, they know
		

			suggest religion to society, they know how communities live, what they need, then the fatwas will be
more relevant
		

			article feature, the next question is by Fatiha who asks, Salam Nia Chef, what does he mean by those
who really strive in verse 142 of Surah Al Imran which came in the midst of the story of Oh God,
what can we have?
		

			G her or HD heard in today's life, the vast being unhappy with them and the whole Jana? Well, Amaya,
let me let her let the Naja I don't mean como ya LMS solvating.
		

			Yeah, you know, a little hot, Allah has created us to test us to, he wants to know, our good
qualities to come out, he knows everything anyway, to really say that he knows meaning they become
clear to everybody, it becomes very, very clear. So you need to be patient a Sabra, you need to
devote devoted to Allah subhanaw taala obedient to His, so difficult conditions come your life. But
on one hand, our last command on a 100 in people's command, you have to sacrifice people's command
to the Command of Allah subhanaw taala in a simplified society for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala.
And then it will be very difficult because the whole society begins do you have to be patient and do
		

			sobre when you do that, then you pass the test. And many people don't do this degree, you know, the
difficulty and a problem and they don't understand what Allah wants from them. Like even daily
prayers, Allah wants people to play all the time. But people have got their own culture, their own
custom to keep slipping. And they will live there when they wake up when their free time. So they
failed that test. So in every single matter, the way is that you have got always more than one
choice. Among those choices, one will be to either your loved ones on one will be or maybe many that
society wants your parents want you want. And now what less testing you do you go for the choice of
		

			Allah, or you go for the choice of your society, your parent or your own choice, all the time. And
then when you choose what Allah wants, you need to be patient because you know, it's difficult, not
easy.
		

			Just go ahead and check. The next question is by Samuel Islam, who asks what is guidance and how can
I know that I am guided guidance, really the knowledge, you know, the word Guidance means that you
know, you know the path where to go direction properly. So, the guidance in Islam is, first one is
the book of Allah.
		

			So you know, really what Allah says what is good, what is bad, what takes people to paradise? What
		

			digs to hellfire you know honesty is good and cheating Hara Hara on lying and everybody worth it to
this guidance, you'll get the knowledge then there's some pretty critical issue you got from the
life of the prophet Sallallahu sallam, to this kind of guidance for the knowledge. When you act upon
date with the fear of Allah in your mind not to sue the people, not because people want something
you you do because Allah or something you fear that carta Koba two people need the life Hoda and
Taqwa the turquoise in order to become a particularly you know, able to follow the path and the
knowledge about the path. So that's why Kurata says the meme that Al Kitab would ra Buffy who would
		

			do that guidance, instruction, teaching for those people who want to live a life of Taqwa. If you
want to have life of Taqwa the Quran will teach you to dead who died who died instruction teaching
it to knowledge that the Quran move light people who died light like in the darkness so you need
light to walk. So that one who dies gives you light in the darkness of the era and all the problems
		

			pass on hola Lakeisha The next question is oh yeah George and George hidden somewhere on land or are
they mixed with us and would show up once the time comes
		

			up from another human being there somewhere you know when they come they will be very, very big
problem. But actually the fifth nothing in life are not only are these modules, you know your own
desire your own knifes your own society, your own family, your wife, your husband, your children,
all of it now, Quran Kisko, your money your property, you have all the time 24 hours, you have to be
careful. So just don't worry about unseen fitness in that in the society. You live the fitness that
are around you, they are more important for you. Then we're the miter. And if you're careful about
the fitness around you, then Allah will protect you from yogic modules. So believers should live a
		

			life of piety or a fear of Allah all the time, not only when the module comes
		

			to Zack Hello Harun chef The next question is by Nisha who asks,
		

			you said that when we learn something it becomes our habit so we need to think every time we do it.
Why we need to think the same thing every time if I already in my mind, I know I know my mind why
I'm doing it.
		

			You know, because when something's become a hybrid, then the leaves in the the lose the impact on
you
		

			realized really the effect of anything happened on you where you sense it when you realize it when
you make it tension you think what you call what a property will be. But when something becomes
habit, nothing I don't know effect is there. So that vitally important that Legion nega intention to
define yemenia means to make your mind to be presentable doing the action not don't do because it
becomes a habit, but all of us do the same thing will we do this because we have got a habit.
		

			So everything not enough, we have to you have to break the habit that violates the law gives
directing the hybrid so that people realize they should be slave of Allah, not the slave of the
habit. The thinking of the very good thinking comes then everything becomes fresh and powerful. When
thinking goes and they become habit and a culture they become debt the new life in it
		

			just Arklow Herencia The next question is by Feriha who asks, Is it allowed to see non Muslims in
the social media videos when there is no ill feelings involved?
		

			Looking at the men are in this discovery learning teaching is there's nothing Haram is that people
wear proper cloth. But if they don't burden the artist problem, and and if you don't have desire, it
does happen does that become haram anyway? Even with a Muslim? If people get desire for their
brothers or sisters to live together, Father, Father these days actually there are so many cases,
you know, a problem between
		

			women and their fathers and brothers. And people told me stories which actually very strange and
shocking. So be careful when desire comes from anyway. So but when did that not that still you have
to be careful, because when disaster only can come so you have to be careful, but if somebody is a
good teacher, and you will learn from him the wisdom and you know, apparently there's nothing wrong
with that fun because you should but when you start thinking something going wrong, then then you
should be able to stop it.
		

			As an ally like a chef, the next question is by Junaid who asks, Is it permissible? Is it
permissible to sell gold to non must
		

			then men and non Muslim women who will wear it in public, will I be sinful? No, don't be sinful
because you know, you're not selling for them to use wrongly, you're selling them for good purpose.
You know, people do whatever they like, you know, people sell so many things, you sell a knife for
the kitchen, but somebody can buy your life and kill someone. They'll be responsible, you're not
responsible. You're responsible only for to what you do, you are selling something good. People buy
you can sell Circulo A Muslim man can come and buy from your silk cloth, haram for him. But maybe by
the way, if you don't know this thing, somebody asked you are driving a taxi. Somebody asked you to
		

			take him to a pub. Yeah, it should take you don't get anything. Because sometimes people just give
their address at the pub or in the pub, they have many, many business sometime building some time
repairing something, somebody helping something so many things, you are not responsible for what
people do you respond for what you do.
		

			Zach Lowe hit and shift. The next question is by forgot bit, who asks, chef, I have referred to the
Hadith regarding the creation of Adam, most placed it mentioned that Divine Creation in heaven, is
it possible that they are created before Earth and was sent via evolution
		

			was created they know in the heaven and the weather climate analyst showed him how shaitana will
misjudged him all that happened. And maybe he was very tall at that time. But there are lots of
Hautala sent to him. Maybe in many, many years, he became same size, like we are on that, and then
maybe he has be sent or maybe he came here then something happened. We don't know this is really so
that way, the best thing is not to discuss this, you know, because you're if you're a scientist, or
studying or teaching, you don't really make a difference in these things at all best thing is to be
quiet not to talk about something far which you have no knowledge, science actually does not have
		

			any firm knowledge about these matters, because science, you understand science really is only
		

			science only can talk properly about those things, which can be demonstrated in liberatory liberati
when they do the most testing properly, nobody can demonstrate evolution really which happens
millions and millions, yes, nobody can do nobody able to do this thing, it is just guessing. So is
there are fiction, in History fiction and everything. So there are lots of fiction in the science
there are something which science can demonstrate that fine they are good we can believe in that.
But our them how chemically science ignored and
		

			theories will change to best in a believer luckily, but the creation of how long or the process or
admission with a filter not many details because it too much. Actually even what happening our body
now we already evolve all the time actually we are not the same anymore. We always keep changing
since everything keeps changing. So you know the best thing is, you have to love what Allah wants
from you. He's repeating so I bother watching he's not going to ask him the Day of Judgment Did you
believe that are them evolved or not? I believe he's going to ask you you know Did you believe in me
due to worship need you to obey my command that to you know, prepare the questions for the question
		

			that allows me to ask you
		

			just go ahead and check the neck next question is there's a hadith about the learner of Allah on
people who pluck their hair and get tattoos is it Saheeh and in the Quran learner comes up only for
shirt and for killing How is that equal?
		

			Yeah, you know the cursor, you know for many many things, the problem is many a lot of what Allah
has created people are near to nature that the best creation they knew really. So something allowed
to improve like you know, he created without growth, but he you know, he wants you to wear cloth
dress, you know, he created you or your New Years ago, but he wants you to you know Cardinals you
know to the rafters he wants people to improve but many things are last year that people in a
perfect way that they are the best you know, beauty for the people. So when people change them a lot
or not like if they like change in the creation. So you know, boom dot here, which actually loved
		

			me, they remain with you. They're not bigoted. So you know things like that. The prophets Allah has
cursed the reason is defective corrupting the fitrah of Allah. So Quranic curse on the you know
Mushrikeen in extended to this period, well because she'll Camille said, that you take a law also
		

			From someone other than to you know you take from fashion from testing to some parts will be on
those people as well why you're not happy with the world has created you because that's the best
application best way gets created to people have to understand if you don't know Ask and it will
tell you which you know sometimes could be that you know some hairs are in unwanted place like on
the face or some women filled in with toughness that beauty yeah then they can remove it. But there
are hairs which are actually in the right place which Allah made beautiful. Now your concept of
beauty has changed and you want to kill the crush of Allah that that people should not do.
		

			Just glow here and check. The next question is by Munna who asks a Salam o aleikum? Is it possible
to leave the voluntary brothers such as the robotic and the 100? When in the sick condition for
someone who has been trying to make it a habit? Would the rewards be less for them know how to do
this at a personal level is seldom when the people fall ill and now they're too weak to do many
Alaba does. They will keep getting the reward of all those things, which they did when they were in
the good health. So don't worry, you do take a little because they you know in the when you're ill
if you do too much your illness will increase. So take a risk do the further pair
		

			but you will get reward of all the things that you have been doing, you know before you release
		

			BarakAllahu Figshare. The next question is by Abdul Rahman who asks, there are so many crops of the
Quran or Hadith and Moton to memorize what do you recommend the student of knowledge to focus on in
terms of memorization?
		

			This question actually can't be answered from a different variety for everybody. The best thing is
not not important to memorize everything for the Quran, people knew exactly some Surah with the
confusion, the prayers so like and if you can memorize the last use and substructure Surah from here
and there, that will be enough
		

			farther mattoni you will need to at least memorize something shorter on the one on the surf. You can
understand them and then memorize it they will be your reference
		

			the rest of the thing that you need to study really keep reading they will come to your mind you
know that for better San Fernando certainly you need to memorize them beauty because you understand
that you forget them but when you memorize them
		

			so you always can refer to them like I memorize whenever 910 year old child the know what the law
all those rules are the grandma so fresh in my mind I can recall them whenever I need. But there are
many many people who did not do this. They forgot that I can see me even all of them they do some
time very big mistake silly mistakes even the because they toto keep in mind maybe when they study
they understood. But now they don't have their mind to something shorter will be fine to tomorrow's
insha Allah
		

			to Zack Lohan and Chef, the next question is a Salam aleikum chef are Hadith that prophesized the
future problematic, in what manner should we regard them? Thank you. You know,
		

			you can't understand any any statement properly, unless it connected to the society and the time
that you live in, then you understand the language and what they mean, really. But if somebody talks
about a condition that you don't know, in the future, whatever language he uses, a language will not
be enough to teach the minute, you can learn with meanings don't live in the language.
		

			The meaning is not by reference with what they refer to, or what they refer to
		

			their why people don't understand the language of the professor's because the reference is not
there. And we're referencing that there, then you understand you get an idea. You get an idea about
the GRE about all those things, but whose job is it? Nobody can know really until it comes. So now
in our time there many people say you know, I'm reconsolidate modules, or some people say European
region modules. Some people say you're doing module system, some people say that the GRE is a system
are distinct on European civilization. They don't just making up meaning really Kadena the professor
language, you know, people misusing it, but when it will come then people know to understand
		

			properly language is only reference. If reference is not known, then the meaning is not very clear.
But you can if you don't know reference, you can get an idea there or the purpose that people get an
idea. There's something happened the future
		

			is up low head and chest. We've got a bit of a big question here. So it's shared in several parts.
I'll share them one by one and read them out. So it goes a Salam aleikum, chef, I took an enjoy your
recent format hubs course and had a question What are
		

			are the boundaries of a difference of opinion? I understand that differences are only within the
minor branches of Dean. But what determines the validity of the range of opinions? For example,
during the class you mentioned and opinion was given to a woman on the invert validity of Hanukkah
because she married a man from a different mother from her. Is that technically a valid difference
of opinion to have? Even if it's a minus lash? Not strong opinion? Or has that exceeded the boundary
of validity for an opinion? If not based on the Quran and Sunnah just
		

			minor opinions if there are minor opinions, five opinions to the whatever library some people say
you lift your head up two years after they are at this that's not a problem that people can do
anything and nothing there's no sin, but sometimes minor opinions they can affect the major but
until
		

			then, we'll find the problem too for example, like about Moon sighting you know when the month we're
going to start there are many opinions in Islam one opinion is the site of moon with your eyes if
you don't say see, then complete 30 days one opinion said you can rely on us to know me one a PSA if
you get news from somebody you can put all their valid opinions
		

			so people can follow any of them it all equal nothing really big. But if you file an opinion on it,
that divides you community then you get sin because you need to the believer the major commander the
reality also did not actually flew it out in major branch other religion so be careful follow up
with your community. They follow Saudi Arabia
		

			somehow you got opinion no we should have our own moose sighting Yeah, you have absolute right to
have your own opinion. But now if you express it and you fought for it too many people will enough
follow it and then it will be you know a divide division so are they understand i As long as your
minor opinions minor things don't affect the major one then you know you have full right to choose
but if they're affected then you know you cannot do this because in then your opinions are dangerous
The Hartford
		

			Zach Lowe head and check the next question is by under who asks, Is * mcru or haram? Some
scholars say mcru But majority says around what is the correct opinion? Nothing is there no
difference between the cruel haram anyway both don't do it. The people who send Nakuru De Pere they
don't want to use the language haram for something for which there is no clear text in the Quran
sunnah to the same accrue, people say haram because they want to say to forbidden so it bought same
thing two words, but meaning the same meaning as people should not do this.
		

			Just head and check. And the last question that we'll have for today is
		

			by no sheen, who asks, what is the ruling on drawing pictures of animals?
		

			Yeah, do you know this? Michelle, very, very
		

			severe matter in the religion. So one has to be very careful, unless somebody is obliged force
somebody to teach Sunday school in a secular school. That's your job. You can't avoid that people
like that, too. You know as long as they're limited to their jobs maybe they're allowed out of
necessity or * but if you have twice don't do this thing, because it really the Hadith about this
matter are very, very strong. So be Muslim should be very, very careful in this matter.
		

			To Zach Lowe, Hayden chef Jack located and for your time, Chef and Zach Lowe, head of everyone for
joining will be net. We'll be back next week Thursday at 6pm BST as always, if your question hasn't
