			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Everyone, welcome back to the ASI weekly q&a with Chef Akram nadwi. On every Thursday at 6pm BST,
without further ado, we'll begin. Sure, we have one private question that has just come in. The
question is, is it permissible for cousins who are teenagers to spend time together doing activities
without adult supervision?
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			since Monday,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			the people
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:51
			have the agenda, you know, they are not allowed either to have to be together
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			in a private space,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:13
			if they are not related by blood and minigrid, they are not in full brothers or sisters of you know,
like, mother and sons. So, those progression without a buy bread or buy buy milk, doesn't say they
are not one of those people. So, if there is
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:33
			just, you know, one, two cousins, one male and one female, and they are somewhere playing together
in battery space, that will not be enough. Because there are shaitan telecom anytime and create, you
know, any, any evil thought internet creative people should be
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:44
			careful about these matters. So, if there are more than one people, you know, few people and, you
know, and trustworthy, reliable,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:56
			you know, and not really privacy, then couldn't be allowed to behave properly. And, you know, the,
the pious
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			is not located. The next question is by
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:21
			voice enough, so, it's fun. Sorry, chef, is that better now? Now, typically, yeah, yeah. Okay. The
next question is by a man who asks, Is it permissible for lawyers to represent clients who have been
accused of wrongdoing? Or are found guilty?
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:38
			Or not further them to return them, but only speak the truth? You know, say exactly what you know,
they have done what to say, you know, don't teach them how to cheat and how to push the statements.
Sometimes the lawyers they, you know, they
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			direct their clients
		
00:02:42 --> 00:03:05
			to Mr. Watson. So to change something, you know, taught in teaching doesn't matter without, by their
honest Yeah, you can, anybody can be sometimes grimace, you know, they also have, they have a right
to defend. And, you know, if you can defend them in the right way, there's a love, there's no
hunger, as long as you don't lie, and don't cheat.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:18
			Because o'clock literature. The next question also about the Roman is, what is your opinion on
Muslims in the West, not prioritizing concerns regarding LGBTQ activism?
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:28
			You know, the thing is, there are so many things in the western US all over the world, that actually
Muslims
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:46
			are lacking proper attention. So it's very important to understand the purchase properly, the most
important thing the wallet leaves Tawheed, to worship Allah alone, and to avoid anything that can,
you know,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:54
			anywhere nearer to the ship. And that's the most important thing. If Muslims live with
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:24
			unbelievers, and either worshipers or people who are worship, gods or anything, and don't mind that
so much, deep in their heart, they don't understand disco friendship, which again, just because one
day discuss respecting them insanely, severely, all those things are haram in Islam, unlawful, if
Muslims make them normal, that are very dangerous, because they should not be considered dangerous.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:39
			So in in the West, and even even the one of Muslims have to understand that they have cut a message
from the board and agenda to be careful, you know, and they should not make something Kitahara
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:52
			lawful, but the problem really is in our district, LGBTQ, all those together very early stages, and
my theory that the world had not understood
		
00:04:55 --> 00:05:00
			this properly and I think that people who are secular they
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:17
			They will be in more than Sunday, about the impact of distancing more than Muslims. So, they still
have to wait to buy anyway, while waiting, it does not mean that we become inactive in the tissue of
children.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:32
			So, hold on mozzarella, and the fifth or the nature that Allah has given to everybody, what it means
to you how to understand it, to use the mind that you know or whatever is made, what the purpose
behind that
		
00:05:33 --> 00:06:02
			to nature should be understood it and also reason should apply to understand even what is the secret
behind the wisdom behind many of the conditions for this hotel, let's say Tom has said that he will
make effort to make people to change the photograph and to change the help of ALLAH. So he will do
this, you know he has been doing this will make effort, but we have to be aware, and we have to be
careful.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:22
			Ly like a chef. The next question is by MOBA, who asks A salaam aleikum, Chef, is it permissible to
draw the pictures of trees and mountains as trees are living creatures? Also, would it be helpful if
we earn money by selling these paintings, without animal and human images?
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:48
			No trees and mountains you know, you can draw them consider the picture simple there's no harm in
that, you know, when we say leading to it does not mean really, you know, potentially grow in your
life in English could mean include things which have growth, like plants, they grow, to people can
say they have life, too they have life and once one meaning, what
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:19
			is drying the pictures are the physics of life and life here means those which have gotten or sold
the spirit of proper meaning that like animals, animals and human beings, to people are not allowed
to make pictures, draw the pictures of animals for human beings, but if they make pictures of trees,
mountains, water, Sky, star, Moon, sun, all those things that know how that you can make an awesome
consultant.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:36
			Just have glow man. And the next question is by Anwar, who asks a Salam aleikum share can I do dhikr
of Allah silently in my mind not using my tongue? Also can I make dua like this? And is that the
same reward?
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			You know, the real thing really real decree is to remember in your mind that
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:54
			you know that Russian people do the Trinitarian bruh lend their mind in their heart to the hush,
they ask Allah from the heart and mind, but why we want a tongue because
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:02
			language is very helpful to make your thoughts right.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:21
			Very often people think in their mind they know something, they understand something, but when you
ask them to write it down to say to articulate it, then you consider an inability their thoughts are
not complete fourth up not rightly, to follow up for some time I write an article
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:29
			and the minister was sent to me this hallway that what I used to think even look at this is FDA I
used to think like
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:48
			to work on they have some ideas, but if I asked them okay, if you thought like that, can you write
them, when they arrived, they will realize really did nothing like that somebody thought of water
than you think, to learn which actually the language is not the only means to convey the message and
your,
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			your foster people learn
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:33
			to make your thoughts and ideas right to mind. So it's not enough that you have in mind you know,
because unless you get it right with your tongue, it will not be so that way the real thing no doubt
the mind. But when you express with your turn, then it is very clear that how what was up, the
people don't Subhanallah they have meaning in their mind. You know, it's not necessarily clear. So
by saying those words, you know, the mind and tongue become correlative, is always very important.
Most people don't understand what
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:44
			people tell them which is only for communication does not right. primary function of language is to
think language or to think to whenever you
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:59
			think if you don't have language, imagine people have known him was can you think of snow and those
who have returning with the better thinkers? You can find all the thinkers, they are the ones who
are able to articulate it
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			The ideas are better more eloquently. If somebody had deficiency in the language he will have
deficiency thinking always the language is very very important so vicar door in mind it we know
really important but you should say when you say didn't didn't clear what you're thinking to
yourself or to not to anybody else not to show up in the You mean you are known but to by saying
that it was clear to your mind what was thinking anything really just just thinking you know what
you think what your parent and then write down then you will know really that what you have been
thinking before lighting that was incomplete after watching this become much more complete, like a
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:32
			ball speed or highest point because your mother everybody who is when I read this point to many many
people just said that what they feel about their mothers but they're not able to ride them if you
ask him to give him not to be able you know somebody was able to ride them because he had an anguish
to where he put it out his torso, it will cause more more effective it was just having an ambiguous
idea in the mind. That's not actually a real thing you when you are able to explicitly state that
way the Kurata Brockman Oliver Quran Hierapolis Asana i lemahieu Breon by on different music by on a
news idea that force in the mind that national carrier when they are expressed by the tongue then
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:41
			they become clearer to biologists to create to make something clear be honest you know clarification
to that what language does that mean we next it's clear
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:58
			to Zack located on channel The next question is by Mohammed who asks, chef, I want to study
anecdotally Alama but my father is not financially stable. He wants from me to do a job what will i
What should What should I do please share guide me
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:05
			ya know, if financially there's a problem, there's a 30 year go there
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:14
			do too you know to help your parrot so what I'm advising you to find
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:43
			and make yourself financially stronger. And if you earn enough money, which can help support you
while you're a little taller, my fat fingers that fun if you don't have dentistry, you know, some
that online that people like me and read the books up, people have melodrama. So you will learn from
them. And sometime maybe holidays, you go there and spend one on one
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:54
			with some teachers and decorative armor that can be helpful but I will not lie to you to give your
private financial data in a week for the unit to pick them
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:14
			up low energy the next question is by unknown to ask a Salam Alikum shell in fact there are
different divisions of Salatin and furrows being what is the evidence of these divisions What if
someone argues that Salah is Salah is for soul and not for
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:55
			every thing in this world really there is something fundamental something or broad and everybody
knows this, but something could be sometimes it will differ in differences in everything in this
life you know when you pay people no really raising the hand and putting the hand on the chest or on
the distance or in a wonder branch Realty live in prayer to remember that the seller penisula
clinically. So in every single chapter there are things which are fundamental or something which are
actually not so important but they are important somehow. Similarly for dumbleton lesson in the
Quran that he had
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:12
			made the fasting of the month of Ramadan obligatory on the people. Then he said I looked at the
pool, so then you get your agenda from * we know really alternate that was the main part of
Ramadan that's it that way
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:42
			and Ramadan they used to that to severely Kurata Alchemist salata decreed the prayer you establish
so you're on permit to now we know the address of Elijah Realty and salah is a means to that so that
how we differentiate between full and full rock but Salah is one of those things which are very near
to those who can't say Arsalan makes it very clear to the to the to us because Salah actually is
suffering.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:59
			So you know, and you must have Deen so it is very, very close with also. So you know, somebody said
to us who didn't Don't argue them in one way. They could be right, though. Not absolutely right
because there could be occasions where you
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:22
			Have a vicar with Asana. Sometimes people cannot play while standing while sitting while but it
still decreases obligatory. So you could have declined with the hot sauna. So not necessarily all
the time in the surveys, exactly same article, but sometimes could be anywhere in on all these for
over a select the nearest one to those who the
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:42
			exact local internship. The next question is by Halima, who asks, In Islam, are women discouraged in
pursuing a career, when it is not necessary, or not another profession, I want to be a programmer,
and I'm working hard for that, should I feel guilty for that?
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:01
			Similarly, evil life is very short, it has nothing to do with a male or female, for men or women in
Islamic law, that same for everybody. So there are things which are very important, you know, they
help you in this world and after in the Hereafter, you know,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:45
			people should not busy themselves, with those sciences, like Islamic sciences, or those scientists
have been efficient crusnik community, less and less medicine, engineering, and some of those
things, you know, like computer science, it information, technology, all those things are very
useful for community and they can be helpful for the billion. So these are the things that people
should make them super busy, always studying the history. But there are some things in this world,
people have mirrored them, either in a proper discipline, and people pursue them and remote people
got the job in that in those kinds of guests. And that there are people who study in
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			political science, our international relations,
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			you know, journalism, you know, something like that.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			So,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:12
			people do all those things. But if you go deep, really, you know, how they're reported, in many of
these things are made up, no, definitely don't help you to make you potent the iPhone, so Motorola.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:58
			But if you don't get any other job, other than, you know, these things, here, so, you know, fine,
but, you know, I would advise to the Java, which can make you not only money, that means after that
you think you are more loving, more qualified, as a person, you become a better person. So, like,
for example, if you study history, and you teach history, so even if you got a job, being a
historian is simply the big thing. But if you become a journalist, still figuring out what not to do
in the courtroom here and there and just ask a question, to steal the information. And, you know, I
the end of the day, sometimes you feel guilty, the way you know, journalism works. So anyway,
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:04
			but if you don't have a job, the attending should have to do to
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:12
			collect money for you and support your family. But in this matter, I don't make a distinction
between men and women, and for men say for women.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:19:01
			Political fiction, the next question is, is by for us, who asks, if people don't have money to do
hudge, but have the money to perform Umrah so should they save more money for going to Hajj or can
they just go for on the rocks? Yeah, Cobra is not only the Father memorize on the Sunnah. So if you
can save more money and go for hydrous better, because then you also can do more. Once you have done
hygiene, you can do morale, you can do top dog Ebro faster then you can do a team. But otherwise you
save more money and look for a doctor we had more expensive, much more expensive. But anyway, thank
you can earn more money and conservative figures. And otherwise, you have to wait until you've got
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:05
			more money and then you do because the higher you can go rise
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:25
			is outflow later and shift. The next question is, says salam, is it permissible for a father to
prevent his daughter from moving away for university? He gave me his word I could do so before but
now he has said now, what's your opinion on this?
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:32
			I don't know really? What is the reason of your father to stop you from the news?
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:49
			You know, so that we can understand at some time could it be genuine comes from from your father, so
I can't say anything unless I understand what you're thinking. But generally, I would advise all the
parents, they should support their children in studying an interview with a male or female
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:59
			you know, at the same time, you know, making sure that they study in a safe environment, and that
does not harm their religion and piety.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:18
			That's a very important thing that people move to the new state and does not rely on parents think,
aid or get a lot of sois funding personality. And anybody can deceive them. No. Anybody can shoot
them or somehow shut down corrupted by their mind. So they have to make
		
00:20:19 --> 00:21:01
			sure to take a step, because it's very important to save your children's life and get on. You know
how old they are. Because sometimes people do this take, which remains to get them stuck for their
life, and then they blame their parents. What you know, my father, you were wise enough? Why didn't
you stop me? Why let me do something. So anyway, I'm not saying this is what happened in your
family, I don't know anything about your family, while your father stopped. Saying that, you know,
when your father stops, you don't know is not necessary. That is wrong. It could be something
genuine to find out what he was talking and didn't say doesn't compromise I study, but I still where
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:25
			you want me to stay on, but I want to know, so you don't, not not likely to stop your study and
study in industry. But at the same time, you know, be careful and find out the concern of your
father. And, you know, keep that in your mind that it's very important that you study and also you
build your personality properly, with either pious person.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:52
			As an ally in a crescendo, the next question is by unknown who asks a Salam Alikum shared in
Pakistan, the Nica has the close close 18 asks whether the husband has granted his wife, the right
to divorce? And if so, what are the terms decided for it? Some scholars delete this clause some
allow it, what is the correct thing to do regarding this clause? Is it a valid clause
		
00:21:54 --> 00:22:21
			I don't really think it is an eighth or something like that, you know, that you do the right to your
wife to divorce, because the wife does still have many vaccines, they can go to the court, if the
husbands run their wives, I know and then don't behave properly Yeah, then the court will cancel the
marriage or they can do it properly, but if you give right to your wife to divorce you
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:49
			So, what happens now both parties have a right to divorce the thing really anything goes anger only
thing one or one of them will use this in our life and this will be a big problem for the whole
family and then after that, they will like you know this death many many cases come to me where the
husband had divorced his wife three times. And now the husband and wife both come to me and say that
we regret and we had a problem we should not have done and
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			we want to live together
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:20
			to where her husband has this right still he Can you know go wrong. We both have this right what
will happen when an event is destroyed is certainly not wrong. It can people can give right? To
husband can give right and the divorced his wife does, right. But I don't want this to become you
know, part of the culture altered into marriage that sometime could be some cases could be
important. But generally I go to Device and Tinder
		
00:23:22 --> 00:24:05
			is a glow cleaner chip. The next question is by Halima, who asks, is it considered sinful for a
woman to dislike her husband to take a second wife? What rights does a woman have? If she is not
comfortable with her husband? Taking a second Why'd you have to dislike that your husband has second
wife, that's not a problem. It has naturally you know, people don't want your husband to be shunted
to the show by the people. So that's not probably not seen that really, by you, you don't have a
right to stop if your husband provides accommodation expensive to both wives. So all your three
wives all them equally properly, then he loves food, but I don't really understand it. In this in
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:44
			this time, especially in the rescue, you know, hardly there could be anybody who can do this to
properly most people don't have enough money even to look after one wife to provide our
accommodation and expensive then provides a for each one of them independent house with the list,
and then they're expensive and the children, you know, look after them. You know, most of us cannot
do this very. If your husband can afford to provide a condition to both wives equally, and they're
expensive, and he can be just then Islamically he's allowed to have survived.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:54
			Does that glow credit shift the next question is by another who asks chef is taking a car or home
loan permissible in Islam?
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:57
			Yeah,
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			loan debt
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:08
			loan for that new foreign banks is allowed when the necessity of needs that people have some need
for some time.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:41
			This time, in the rest, presumably, if you don't have a car, your life is very difficult, because
you have to take your filter to the disputes, maybe you need a car for your work, somebody needs and
halfway house is also more important. Because even if you're not, you don't own a house, you can
empty house people can ask you to leave. And also you don't get the house in a place where you
really want it. But if you buy a house, you can buy where you choose. So sometimes you need to take
a loan
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:55
			to the needy, you're allowed to take a note No, but to make so that you pay as soon as possible.
Because interest, I mean, just we don't allow, you know, it's a foreign to you shouldn't it should
be paid as soon as possible.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:22
			Without low credit and check. The next question says in Surah Noor Allah mentions there is no blame
on you eating together or separately. Please, if you could explain the context, and would this mean
combined gathering during marriages are allowed, as in mixed gathering? Yeah, you know, it's
Islamically really, you know, men or women, you know,
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:36
			they are in a space, which is used by everybody, not every space they eat together, in the front of
the seat on the same table, you know, without physically touching each other. So that's how I can
most
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:52
			parties are like that people sit on their chairs, and then, you know, different families together
and eat and drink. You know, and even Malik was asked, Can men and women eat together recently I've
been eating together.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:27:42
			So a woman asked my wife, Milan, tada, I'm eating with my husband. And my ex husband comes, can I
ask him to join the food? Mama, why not? In the women had been eating together. And they used to eat
from the same plate to the same plate. She's eating her husband and the ex husband or three people
in the same flip. So eating together is not a problem. Problem is invented desire and you know,
default that is our that is the problem. But otherwise, you know, people can eat together they can
travel in the same bus or train or there's so many traveling, you can use the road and you can be in
the same mosquito, the same house. What would not allow you the privacy you're not allowed to have
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:47
			privacy with a man or woman who don't have a proper relation?
		
00:27:49 --> 00:28:00
			Is that low, clean and cheap? The last question we'll take for today is by Shahab who says a salam
Wa alaykum chef Could you explain why the motto of Imam Malik isn't considered to be part of this
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			but why not okay
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			even miles a month that's really one of the best
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:21
			if not the most important book in minimum grades they only work on Monday to do the very carefully
so in order to really book you got a sound
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:26
			and sound flip it also teaches people what was the
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:33
			actual practice under the pillow Medina the time on Monday for that and even very early in Islam
