Brothers and sisters and dear friends. Welcome to
another video.
Burning hands.
Mhmm. My hands are burning
with all these criticism.
My soul is hurting. Okay. So, Alhamdulillah, you've
been working on a project,
which is
innovative.
That's obviously called bida, but this is, no.
Different.
Okay.
So basically, I'm going to check I'm gonna
I'm gonna
I'm
gonna I'm gonna congratulate you. With that. I
wanna congratulate you for, your, you know, first
step, you know, after seeing the champ, do
that.
Your footsteps. Yes. But also I want to
welcome you to my world, of criticism and
I've been already in that world. Yeah. So
so But in different ways. Yeah. So why
why are you making something that is haram
halal? That's the first question. Okay. It's clear
haram. It's clear. There's bil Ijma.
Why are you trying to make it halal?
Allah said it's haram. Why are you making
a halal? So basically That's what people say
in the comments by the way. Before we
get into like before we get into Yes.
The fakhiyat or the jurisprudential aspects of law.
Let's start off with the project in itself.
Exactly.
Because they saw the trade off. There's 3
there's 3 main things that I've,
some summed up in terms of the criticisms.
Number 1 is about the music. Number 2
is about, looking at non Muslim women's hair,
for example. Okay. Yeah. Or or other body
parts that are not covered by hijab or
jibweber or whatever it may be. And number
3 is Adia, free mixing which obviously you've
you've had your own fair share of, criticism
for as well.
But before we get into that, so burning
hands is basically Yeah. What is it about?
Firstly, where did the title come from? That's
a very interesting title. You know the hadith
basically which says that, you know, in the
end of times Oh, holding on to your
oh. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Just being like a hadith, being a stranger,
be like holding on to your religion, be
like holding on to your coals. So obviously
your hands are burning in it. So that's
where it comes from.
And it's about it's about basically this guy
is a teacher,
and he's had like a gangster past. Yeah.
And now he's kind of raising these new
kids, their new generation who's also having trouble
upbringings and stuff like that in the same
kind of way
And helping them, guiding them. I shouldn't say
raising them. I shouldn't say raising them. But
yeah. So that kind of guiding them etcetera.
Yeah. So this is what's happening. It's it's
meant to be a depiction of Muslims in
the West. Wow. Okay. Which is Not just
Muslims but ethnic people, black people, white people,
different from different backgrounds.
But obviously, the the unique selling point of
this is it's meant to be a depiction
of our unique kind of struggles That's brilliant.
Which includes basically men and women. Right? Which
includes young and old. It includes people from
all backgrounds. And it's very important for the
whole story to be told. And it's very
difficult for us to exclude and we come
to the points, the Fekhih points, but exclude
the segment of society. It's interesting though. IIII
like the fact that you made it very
it relates to everybody. You could have just
made it just Islamic and group of hijabis
etcetera. Obviously, as long as we're gonna come
to the rulings behind it. But I think
so.
Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. But the thing is it's
good hamdulillah what you've what you've done and
it is very important because people as Muslims
we think that when we go to a
specific land etcetera, it's them and us. It's
not even if you look at the prophet
he would dress the all for the people
as soon as permissible. Yeah. You don't ostracize
yourself like it is them and That's a
good way of putting it. No. Because dawah
is what actually, you you want people to
feel welcome. You want people to understand not
at the expense of obviously Yeah. Committing haram.
And but the point is it's very important
for us to for people to relate. But
I was watching that and I was thinking,
bro, this is like a sick movie. Is
this like something on a Netflix? Well, honestly,
it took it took a long time to
film. Oh, no. Tell me about that. Hours
and hours, but my life. You know what
I'm gonna say? But what I was gonna
say was that, look, you gotta think about
power in a general sense is divided into
2. It's what they teach you in politics.
It's 101 kind of thing. You've got hard
power which includes things like military, includes like
missiles, nuclear weapons, etcetera. And you've got soft
power. Yeah. Soft power is basically
the media. That's 1 of the main things.
Obviously, you got educational things as well but
entertainment and the media, etcetera. Now if if
we look at the case study of America
now, the United States of America, the reason
why it's in the place where it's at
right now is not just because of its
military power, but it's also because of Hollywood.
It's also because of its series that it
churns out on a weekly basis now almost.
Right?
It's series and it's movies and these kinds
of things. And the question that Muslim communities
have to ask themselves
is if this is a kind of power
and influence, okay?
Are we gonna engage with this or are
we not gonna engage with this? Are we
just gonna leave it to the Zionists?
Are we gonna leave it to the feminists?
Are we going to leave it to whoever
it was, liberals? Hollywood. The neo cons or
those who are antithetical to Islam and Muslims.
Are we just going to leave it to
them? We've got our own
thing going on. We've got our own narrative
going on. So are we going to engage
in this or are we not going to
engage in this?
This? And remember this question, are we going
to engage?
There's a caveat to this or there's like
a subsidiary question which is if you don't
engage,
alright,
is it likely, more likely or not likely
that Muslims around the world will still consume
They are. Bro, they are. The movies and
series. Bro, they are. This is the reality
you need to do. Would you say? If
I were to ask you a question They
do, bro. Like, let's look 2, 000, 000,
000 Muslims around the world. How many of
them
do you reckon, have watched a movie or
a series? Oh, please, man. Well, I to
even ask this question, you're living in a
coco land. Yeah. Bro, people on Netflix, Amazon,
Prime, whatever it is, they are watching bro,
they're watching these movies that are full of
filth,
discusses. And why? Because they want entertainment.
Yeah. Not that they go in and say,
I wanna do something filth. They're like, okay.
Look, even me, I like watching documentaries on
Netflix based on a true story. Yeah. Even
then, bro, there's certain things I have to
be like, skip. Skip. I don't want it.
Yeah. So bro, like for example, when Ertugrul
came out. Yeah? Yeah. It was too long.
I was like, bro, I don't wanna get
caught because when you get caught, you get
like studying etcetera. So bro, but once I
watched that, bro, people were telling me I
started praying after that. And then you've got
these
certain individuals I don't wanna get into.
People look at Islam like it's it's a
black and white box.
There's Hollywood. They're doing mass propagation. Yeah. And
what we see is the vital And the
likelihood. Yes. And the reason why this the
question of likelihood is even important from Islam
perspective is because in usulufat, they have this
this phrase
called Yes. What is most likely to happen,
most probable to happen.
And a lot of the rulings of Islam
are pinned on or hinged on whether something
is more likely to happen or not. Yeah.
The likelihood of your son, of your daughter,
of our family members watching movies, watching all
these in the series is close to, I
would say, a 100%. Of course we Close
to 95%. You've been a blah blah blah.
I'm not gonna mention the sheikh. There's a
sheikh out there. He's like, yeah. I wouldn't
be there. Why would you watch this? You
don't watch that. No. He might watch it.
No. No. What what what what what let's
go with this. You might watch it. Let's
go with Yeah. Sheikh, you don't watch it.
Yeah. How are you even the the question
that he is offended by the question being
asked. Yeah. How are you even asking me?
Shaikh, you're not living in the reality. That's
right. Just because you don't watch it, what
is the solution? Noah's haram has got music
in it. There's haras.
What's the I know. So this is the
thing. The solution, man? This is the let's
get to the point because they're gonna say,
okay, you guys are justifying. You guys do
this. Let's get to the point. There are
3 main contentious issues. Number 1 was we
said music. Yes. Number 2 we said was
the,
the seeing a Muslim's hair and stuff like
that. And people are saying, well, for every
time I look at her, you're gonna get
this sin and blah blah blah. And number
3, the free mixing issue which is has
been discussed a lot now. We'll just touch
upon that. But we'll touch upon that as
well. But there's a video I've already done
that. But with the music music issue, Akhi,
so I spoke to the production team. They
said, listen, and I've I've spoke to them
before. I'm not in charge of production by
the way. Yeah. But I said to them,
I'm the lead actor
quote unquote. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But
I'm yeah. Not in production. Because I said
no to the role. Yeah. Yeah.
So basically,
they said to me the main soundtracks Yeah.
Yeah, there's all like vocals and stuff like
that. There may be something in the background
which is musical. I don't know if that's
the case or not. There's something in the
background. But in terms of the main soundtracks
there,
you know, like human voice, beatbox, this kind
of thing. So that's
people were very offended by the trailer because
there was this kind of like machine noise
in the background. Okay. Interesting. So SubhanAllah. But
looks it looks interesting. So you when it
comes to this issue because people are saying,
okay, music. Yeah? Anything that they hear So
what what is is that they've given me
assurance. I told them already because the the
community
that we're catering for for non Muslims might
not understand this. Okay. So for us Muslims,
the the the mainstream conservative opinion, alright, is
that musical instruments are actually not allowed. Okay.
So you might not not understand that or
know that. There is of course another opinion
which is more, let's say isolated but nevertheless
it does have backing which is that music
is allowed. But like the 1 I would
say that majority of conservative Muslims and traditionalists
accept or you know follow
is the 1 that music is not allowed.
And so I have spoken to producers because
obviously
my followers,
our people,
our guys,
we
tend to take that view. Right? So I
said to them I said to the producers,
you know, we have to have like kind
of human voices and stuff like that. And
they've assured me. I did the same. Yeah.
And they've assured me. Now I don't what
is and what isn't. I can't like if
someone told me this and that, I can't
tell. You know what I'm saying? But they've
they've give me those assurances. Okay. Perfect. So
that's why hopefully, inshallah, that's sorted out. Exactly.
So just because something sounds even with my
when when I did the documentary, there was
specific element. But we had to get the
whole thing done again vocally. So just because
it may sound like it, bro, sisters. Yeah.
Because it's like the the the you'll be
surprised at what what kind of noise the
the human mouth can make.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know what I'm
saying? Exactly. Yeah. Okay. Let's get to the
first 1. Okay. Because this 1 is okay.
Fine. Now this 1 is a very juicy
bit. Yeah. The juicy bit. Because I've had
brothers come in the park, etcetera. When they
say,
an is an a hair is an hair.
Yeah. So they will come and say, you
know, for example again, they would say, okay,
in speaking of kohani, you speak with non
Muslim woman. So now what is the ruling
pertaining to? We've got we know Muslim woman,
but there's a big misconception of a woman's
head is a woman's head. There is no
Muslim or no Muslim about it. Is this
true? So here's the thing here. Like, if
you look at I'm gonna give you some
sources now. I'm gonna read them and I'm
gonna translate them. Yeah. Yeah. From your from
your photo shopping you've been doing basically. Because
we we know you. We know you. You
know you photo shop. Yeah. Let me see
where I can shop the best, etcetera. Where's
the best deal? Yeah.
But okay. So there's there's this question first.
The scholars have differed whether it's when you're
looking at a woman, a Muslim man, let's
say you're looking at a Muslim woman, to
what extent can Muslim and Muslim here because
they differentiate. Yeah. But they do differentiate. They
do differentiate. They've always differentiated. But here's the
thing. Let's say a Muslim man looks like
a Muslim woman. Yeah? Yeah.
Is he allowed to look at, for example,
let's say, her face, her hands, blah blah
blah without shahwa. Shahwa and no shahwa. Shahwa
is this idea of desire.
When he's looking at her, is it desirous
or not desirous? There is a difference of
opinion on that. Okay. So we're putting that
to the side now because in the in
the production,
the women
that uncovered their hair, they're almost liming it.
So you're not going to force them
to put on their headscarf. That's not the
kind of world we're living in and that
wouldn't even be a depiction of how we
live. Yeah? Number 1. Number 2 is so
the question is what's
that? So mum ul kiddem all the way
back to the salaf,
you'll find scholars of Islam,
okay, saying
having a different attitude towards non Muslim women
in terms of looking at them versus Muslim
women. I'll give you some examples. Right? Interesting.
I'm gonna read this out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Interesting. Alright. I'm gonna read this out.
So so
so basically,
a non Muslim woman who live in the
lands of Islam. Mhmm. Looking at them, their
dress sense because they have their own rulings
that they judge by. All of these what
I'm gonna show you now Yeah. I've checked
that they're authenticated chains of narration. Yeah. Yeah.
So I'm going back because a a lot
of people will a lot of people will
say, okay, you guys are mentioning this scholar
and that scholar, this contemporary scholar, that contemporary
scholar.
I'm going back a 1000 years here. Oh
wow. Yeah? More than a 1000 years, a
1000 years. Interesting. I wanna hear this as
well. So this is the first 1. This
is Hasan al Basri. Now, Hasan al Basri
is a terbiy.
Okay? He is seen as 1 of the
biggest zahids,
aesthetics that ever existed in Islam, the early
generation.
Okay? So he was a man of sunnah,
he was a man of tazkiyah.
Okay, listen to this.
He was asked a question, Inna nrubialkotun.
That we,
someone saying, we sell cotton.
The woman from El Ethima which I like
the Jews and Christian women used to come
to
us. Listen to what he says,
so we see their hair. He's saying what?
He's saying we see their hair. So what
does Hassan al Basri say? He says fakal
al hasanu
and Hassan al Basri says, there's
no problem with that.
Okay. This little hassle bustery. So he's saying,
look, I'm in a situation where I'm selling
cotton. There's a woman there.
Her hair is showing. This is a 1000
300 years ago whenever it was 1200 years
ago. Oh my gosh. Okay. And what's happening?
He's saying it's not he's shrugging his shoulders.
That's okay. Okay. What what are you gonna
say?
Okay. That's 1 isolated opinion.
Yeah. Okay. It's a good journalist though. It's
a good journalist. Where is an isolated 1?
Okay. That's a good 1. Yeah. But this
is where is
al dulabi.
And I've checked the chain. This is an
authentic chain of Is it easy?
It's 1 of the books of hadith. But
They also mention like the Akhwal and the
Tabas and stuff like that. I'll put all
of what I've just mentioned here. I'll put
it in the description. I haven't got a
problem here.
And this shows you that there's a difference
here because if you're looking at her generally
speaking, if you look at a woman and
you're interacting with her normally, you're not gonna
get that shawah, that sexual feeling. Okay? Sorry
to say. Only some men
are so excitable that they'll look at a
woman and you
know, just normal interaction and they start getting
excited. That's true.
If you have an issue like that Yeah.
I do agree. If you have an issue
like that, then don't look at her. Yeah.
But the issue is here is you're you're
seeing a trend that the onus is not
not a Muslim woman to do this stuff.
The onus is on the Muslim man to
look away when he feels desirous. Exactly. Okay.
So the second thing is okay, you say
that's the isolated 1. No problem.
So the second 1 here is Ibrahim Al
Nahai. You've heard of Ibrahim Al Nahai bro?
Yeah. Ibrahim Naha'i was an imam of the
salaf, bro. Okay. He was an imam of
the salaf. Is this the 1 the first?
He would have had his own madhab, okay,
himself
had it been for if his students had
collated his information. Yeah. Yeah. Huge figure. Everybody
knows who he is. So the same thing
is mentioned. He was asked
We're buying and selling and we're doing all
these things but this 1 gets a bit
further. He goes, So we see certain women.
We see their bellies
and their hairs. Yes? Wow okay. He mentioned.
They don't have any sanctity in that sense.
Meaning the Muslim woman is the 1 who
has sanctity in the sense that you you
gotta be extra careful with the Muslim woman
in that sense. But with a non Muslim
woman, it's not like that. So subhanallah, that
means that when they lived on the Islamic
lands,
their dress code Stayed the same? It stayed
the same. It stayed the same. So which
means that for example, when we have videos
where we're like, you know, understand some brothers
who are like, you know, we want to
blur them. Totally, I respect that. And by
the way, this is not a representation of
all Islamic history in all times and all
places. There's always gonna be exceptions. But there
is this romanticized
and idealized and fake understanding
of Islamic history as in, the this was
a time where everyone was walking around with
face coverings. And only no. You're talking about
Why is that? Can we can we stipulate
can an Islamic can we stipulate for them
how to dress if they're following their legislation?
There's there's always gonna be some limitations even
in the UK. If you can all can
walk away naked. Islamic ones. Like But, yeah,
Yani, there's gonna be some limitations, but not
to the point where we're asking women that
are non Muslims to keep hijab. Can we
ask them to wear hijab? No. Yani, Is
that you're going to the point of where
putting the Kaaba on and wear the hijab
on and stuff like that. Do you know
what I'm trying to say? Of course. See,
I didn't know that. How can you force
them to do a practice that's your practice,
your Islamic practice? And here's the point, if
if that was the case, why are we
seeing these aqwal of the salaf? Yeah. Okay?
Where these women are walking around in that
kind of way.
So this is I think, bro, the whole
issue of women has become taboo, especially among
Muslim men. It's taboo, bro. Anything to do
with gender. Oh, I'm seeing here. I'm seeing
all this here. Oh, I'm seeing this, bro.
Calm down, man. Okay. Relax yourself. Calm down
because in Islamic history, people have to see
that. Exactly. We're talking about here,
bro. Yes. In the time of the Sahabas,
we all know that there were ema and
stuff like that. Some of them bare chested.
Chested. Some of them were naked around the
cab and stuff. What we're talking about here,
man? They've they've turned woman into, like we
understand. It's a taboo thing. Anything to do
with woman is like, okay. Yes. We understand
this. They could be fit and intimate, but
bro, they've stretched it to live. Don't be
like that because My brothers are coming to
telling me her her her voice is.
Yeah. She cannot.
You can't live like look. Go ahead and
try and do takbih of that in the
aduwaka. Please. And that's gonna be my second
argument for a second. But this is the
this is the first thing. Yeah. Okay.
Okay. So let's go to another 1. Yeah.
And after I've got very interesting hadith, very
very interesting hadith, we're gonna come to you.
But that's more for the free mix. Yeah.
That's more for the free mix. Yeah.
Once we're done with this, very interesting
That basically, Sofia Nefuri had the same opinion
that you can there's no horma for the
woman.
And he mentioned in the ayah of the
Quran.
So he's mentioning a Sofia
Sophia nathuri. Abrikathir has mentioned that. Sofia nathuri
Thori mentioned.
Yeah.
So you know the ayah where it says
The ayah says let the Muslim woman cover
themselves. Yes. Okay. So it doesn't say let
the non Muslim woman cover themselves. So he's
Sofia Sofianath Thawl is mentioning that. Ibikathir is
mentioning that. Sofianath Thawl is mentioning that. Okay?
So that's 1 thing. Now 1 can say,
okay, well you're mentioning Sofianath Thawl, you mentioned
Ibikathir, you mentioned in Ibrahim Naha, you mentioned
Hasid al Basri.
We're still not satisfied, brother. Yeah. We're we're
still not satisfied. Let me bring it. Bring
me bring me bring me Let me bring
you Mohammed.
Oh, now now. Okay. Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Okay.
I could mention Al Hajawi. I could mention
Al Midawi. Even these gentlemen, I can
mention Al Ibn Khudama. I could mention Ibn
Taymiyyah. But no, I'm gonna mention Ahmed. Ahmed
himself.
Okay? Ahmed ibn Hanbal.
And Ahmed ibn
Hanbal has a very strict view
as this is well known with Muslim women.
He says everything is howrah.
Everything, even their nails.
Even is what he says. Actually, I might
lie to that. Yeah. That's that's it. Yeah.
I'm not Okay. With Muslim women There's a
bit of finna or some brother,
not gonna lie man. And then he says
And as for alzimma
woman, we don't say anything about them.
No. We don't it's not our business.
Well, I It's not our business, Sahar. If
you if you went and said these statements,
but he didn't quote Mohammed, they would say
to you 100%. Well, they would say to
you 100%. You you are a misguided Okay.
Individual. Okay. Someone was gonna say, these are
all Aqwal. These are all certain things. I
don't follow. This is what Mohammed says. This
is my time under the view. Whatever. Okay.
No problem. And there's by the way, just
as much as I've shown these opinions, someone
can show the opposite opinion. No problem. All
my point is What is the difference opinion?
Oh, it's a No. Thank you. All I'm
showing you is that this opinion exists. Thank
you. Alright. No problem. Yes.
But let's go to a secondary point.
There is a precept
in Usul Fikh called Ma'amat Biil Bellwah.
Ma'amat Bihi Al Bellwah is when something becomes
so pervasive,
so encroaching,
so spread
that you can't avoid it. Okay?
There are certain things that become so pervasive
that it's unavoidable.
Like the prophet told us in the hadith,
Whoever does not
consume and be touched by dust, but he
will still be touched by his dust. You
see the point? Does that mean everyone is
sinful? So this concept of Ma'amatbihilbawah
has usul
has thing.
Now the issue of
women without headscarves
or women without Uyani wearing certain clothes,
especially in the western
hypersexualized
context. Yeah?
If if there's anything that fits into that
precept, it's that.
If there's anything that fits into that precept
Now listen,
let's say for example you've got 2 concepts
in Islam. 1 of them is called adurura
and 1 of them is called
Traditionally a lot of them say is that
which leads to death.
Is that which leads
to inconvenience of a great extent.
Let me give you a couple of examples,
yeah? Let's say a man goes to the
restaurant
or to the park
or to these places. Are not really necessities.
Taking your kids out to the park is
not really a necessity. Have you ever seen
a fatwa
that says that a man cannot take his
kids out to the park because of the
likelihood,
remember we mentioned, the likelihood, the severe likelihood
that he is going to encounter a woman
who is a non Muslim and he is
going to see her without his help. Why?
But then the question is, there is no
Darula here. There is not life or death.
So then you say, the Hajj has reached
a certain level, the need,
the inconvenience of not going with your kids
to the park if you're living in the
west has reached a certain need that it's
almost the Hajj has become like a darura.
Basically bro.
Okay. So my question is and I won't
give it any answers here. To what extent
can we send this principle for our benefit
as Muslim community? Yeah. That's the question I'm
leaving to hang out there. I'm not gonna
give you an answer. Yeah. Now certain people
are gonna have more lenient view on that
issue, and certain people are gonna have more
strict view on that issue. Exactly. I remember
starting, you know, bro, like, when I was
doing the, David Wood debate in 2018. Yeah.
When it was my show. I don't know
if you remember that. I remember that. I've
never Before before I've done the David Wood
debate, people were telling me it's haram to
debate. Yeah. Bro. Do you remember this? Yeah.
Yeah. But then we started doing atheist debates
and guess what? People were telling me it's
haram to use philosophy. Actually, bro.
So at every point in my life, people
have told me it's haram. They've not just
told me don't do this thing. It's haram.
But then after they've seen that their sorry
to say it like this. Yeah. But after
they've seen that their children were the main
beneficiaries Yes. Of course. Of the thing that
we provided,
then they've changed their view. Bro, I was
told you know what I was told once?
Yeah.
That 1 is probably true.
Most strict opinion. Yeah. Exactly. As if it's
the opinion. And as it's it's the opinion.
The opinion. And we've got to follow it
like this. No. I'm telling you.
Let's be honest. Go ahead. If you had
to if you had to do it tirad,
which means if you had to
completely be consistent with your principle of woman
Muslim woman this and that, non Muslim woman
with a headscarf, you'd find your life so
inconveniencing.
Not only that How you've allowed it for
yourself? Not only that. How are you sending
your wife out? Because there's men look because
if a whole, if she's out, look, it
goes,
look, we can go to, we can stretch
this. No. No. No. But it's true. Why
are you going out? No. It wasn't. Why
are you letting your wife out?
Come and say I'm a married woman. But
that's a separate you see the point I'm
making though? Like the point the point is
that the issue of Hajar, there's a point
where everyone has to admit that there's there's
so many contexts. I have yet to see
a Mufti
or an alim say,
going to school,
going to university,
going to college,
going to these places,
after the age of 16 where it's not
compulsory, is haram on the basis of that
you'll see a woman that has no hair
scarf. I've not seen it. Now you won't
die if you don't go to these places.
Yeah. But you're gonna say aren't you? You're
gonna have to say this is gonna be
no benefit. So if you're gonna say the
question is,
okay. So how far can we take the?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not giving you an
answer. I'm just putting it out there. Because
this thing is is is quite arbitrary actually.
Like for example, I find it surprising.
I was having a conversation with Pearl the
other day. Right?
She wasn't wearing hijab.
There was only
a few comments
that I came across. This issue, so
many comments on the same issue. But I
just wanna know why is this 1 different
to this 1 on what Quranic or hadith
basis. It's it's there is not It has
it has to be obvious. No. It's not
because actually, you need to understand something. Even
when it came to my issue, it's not
a matter of Quran and sunnaki. You need
to understand. You know we talk about taking
the alkol of the alkol. They do the
same thing. It's not about Islam. It's about
what looks automatic. It's taboo.
Exactly. Muslim woman, look at you you even
that video I was a bit surprised because
you didn't blur like we understand we we
like for example, we blur. No. But I'll
be honest. The reason why I don't do
it is because I think the onus is
on the man. No. No. If you see
a woman that you find like I said
before, the opinion that I follow okay. And
you're welcome to not follow my opinion. Yeah.
I'm not trying to force anyone. And the
film will look stop by And I was
by the way, I respect that. I I
fully I fully
fully respect and you might be right and
I might be wrong. Yeah. I mean, I
can never do a bahel on an issue
like this because these are fiqhiyet, these are
farayat. They are branch masters of the deen.
You know what I'm trying to say? I'll
never do an issue like this. But I'm
just gonna say is like, in your situation,
if you take the more strict view on
this issue,
Yeah. Exactly.
That's the issue. No. Definitely. You have to
take my view. But don't don't don't do
this thing where you're you're acting sanctimonious and
Yeah. My what do you call it? Holier
than thou and these kind of things, brother.
Because let's do it. Because because if you
have that, brother, then let's do it. That's
all I'm gonna say. Let's do it. Let's
go. Which means let's be consistent and let's
see what context I wanna know what context
you don't allow this where you can see
a Muslim. Where you're gonna
see a Muslim over the hijab.
Restaurants,
parks, streets,
all the unnecessary context, which when I say
unnecessary, I mean life or death won't happen
if you
can't happen. Okay? Where your inconvenience, let's see
what context you allow and which ones you
don't. I promise you
there will be a degree of arbitrariness in
your decision making. I promise you.
So that is the second point. The third
point is the issue of free mixing.
Okay. Let's go for that. So
we've discussed before what free mixing is and
all these kind of things and we've had,
you know, Sheikh Dadao. By the way, and
since we're mentioning Sheikh Hadadah, he takes the
view as well.
And yeah people have been attacking him because
of us because we mentioned him. So okay,
well you guys follow Sheikh Haddadah. Sorry to
say, I'm gonna put this out there. Sheikh
Haddadah was in a ghazah at 1 point
in time rallying the people to do Mujahadda
against Israel.
Yeah.
Yeah. Sheikh Hadera has been consistently pro Palestine.
Sheikh Hadera was in prison. Sheikh Dadao has
more knowledge than the majority of scholars in
the Dunya today. Maybe all of them. Allahu
Alaihi. This is Sheikh Dadao. Right?
They attack shihaddadah but at the same time
they may follow a scholar. They may follow
a scholar
bro who
not only appeases the state of Israel,
may indirectly support him.
So if it's a matter of you don't
think that the scholars that we follow are
sincere,
I'm sorry. I'd rather someone listen to music
and have girls in the car but then
fight Israel.
Yeah, if I have actual girls in the
car and go fight Israel. Yeah, physical fighting
the military men of Israel. Yeah,
then appease and appeal and acquiesce
to the political forces against those people
hype and menstruation and a woman's driving a
car and all this kind of stuff. What
happened to the parties and all that? Actually,
10 years ago, we were debating a lot
of these brothers about women allowed to drive
a car or not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It's true. That was a debate. Yeah. Yeah.
Whether a woman can drive a car or
not. You know, you know, that's interesting. Like,
I wanna touch up on the free mixing
because there's so many Okay. So let's get
to the free mixing bit. Yeah. So What's
the free mixing inshallah?
Let's start with this, right?
In Islam, there's 2 things. When it comes
to Ibadah,
everything is haram except that which is mentioned.
Yep.
This hadith of the prophet Muhammadu alaihis salam.
Right? Yeah. Narrated by Aisha. That whoever adds
to our religion with that which is not
in it, that is rejected. Right? That's what
is in the hadith. No problem.
So when it comes to Ibadah,
the issue is everything is haram except for
which is mentioned. Yes. Explicitly. Yeah. Everything is
haram. Yeah. But when it comes to Muamalat,
which is the idea of transactions. Everything
is halal. Everything is halal.
Everything is halal. Everything is halal. Okay. So
now the burden of proof is on whom?
Because is this issue of free mixing,
is it an issue of aibada? No, it's
not. So it's an issue of what? Yes.
Transaction. It's an issue of transaction interaction, these
kind of things. So I'm not here to
give any evidence on this. It's for the
opponent to tell me why I'm doing this
haram. Exactly.
So if someone says,
There's no a in the Quran that says
that by the way or any hadith that
says such a thing. Free mixes of Haram.
It's only from what you call Quran.
You're bringing these hadith and certain things and
you say that if you bring these hadith
together it's clear that the Maqsa of sharia
is said that the idea of preventing harm.
And that's why people have put like for
example, I'll give you some examples right? At
the time of the prophet, when the men
and the women were in the masjid together,
was there a barrier? No. No there wasn't
a barrier. Are there barriers in all the
masjids in London today? Yes there are. Okay
so who's more pious? They were more pious
but we have more precautions. There's so much
more hadith. Okay. So I'm just giving you
1 example. But the idea is that you
cannot say, okay, just because you're doing it
a certain way, that that's the way it
should be done unless you now bring me
an evidence. Yeah. But I'm giving you an
example of
modern day
situation
where we've went further
than our predecessors did because we fear certain
repercussions
that they didn't evidently fear because it was
in their qudra, ability to do so. Alright?
So the question is now,
what else are you gonna say is haram?
The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, okay,
had debates with women.
And it's mentioned, I'm not even gonna bring
you hadith and bring Quran.
That in chapter 58 verse
12 that Allah has heard
the woman that has debated you. And if
you look at the haditha connected to that,
there's a man and a woman. The prophet
has asked Allah to be debating with the
woman directly and Aisha is mentioning it and
it's face to face interaction.
It is face to face interaction. There's a
hadith in Bukhari
which mentions that there was a jariyah that
ahadhat bin Yadinabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam which
basically in figurative language means she took him
by the hand and she walked around in
Medina with him. Yeah. So she was clearly
clearly he was he was talking to Even
when he spoke to Saudi.
When
spoke
to let me give you another 1 which
is quite interesting. I came with a very
good 1 as well. Let me give you
This is this is this is this is
this is this is this is this is
this is why you're doing that this is
why it's very important guys to educate yourself.
Islam
is not owned by your dad. It doesn't
belong to you. Just because something looks not
to your taste or how you would like
it, you cannot come. Because what you're doing
now is slandering by sin. You are making
what is haram halal. You're basically saying I
am an ignorant person. I don't have the
knowledge. This looks haram to me and this
this baba is doing this tihlal. And and
quite frankly, bro, it's fine to be strict
with this stuff. That's fine. I'm not gonna
watch this. I I feel this is too
much for me. I call this and
that. Even I don't believe it's halal. I
don't believe it's halal. But don't go further
than that, bro. Exactly. Because if you go
further than that Yeah. I'm gonna ask you
now. Bring the evidence, but also I'm gonna
ask you to do it. Yes. Be consistent
with your principle. Because if your principle is
Yes. I'm not allowed to see a woman
that's without heads heads cut. Let's see how
you live your life Yeah. Without using the
Usul principles of Hajjah to be al Makruhat
or dara to be al Makruhat.
And sometimes the Hajjah can take the the
place of the darura if the inconvenience is
large enough and so on and so forth.
You don't wanna live your life with that.
You just wanna live your life with the
rigid method. Trust me.
It's it's I believe you're gonna fall into
what the prophet told us Yes. In the
Yes. That the religion of Islam is easy.
Yes.
That no 1 overburdened himself with the religion
except that it defeats him. Thank you. Okay.
The religion is a marathon. It's not a
sprint. Exactly. If you try and if you
try and enact this kind of thing where
if I'm if I'm going in the street
and I can't look at a woman in
the face if I'm if I'm paying her,
if I'm speaking to a poor woman, trust
me. I tried that because I used to
be a hardliner as well. Yeah. And I
believe it's unsustainable.
Yeah. Because, you know, we said burning hands.
Yeah? Yeah.
Yeah. The the religion is like coals that
you're holding in your hands. Yes. But you
have to have strong hands as a Muslim.
Yes. But it's the ultimate's it's the ultimate's
job to make the coals more
cool. Yes.
It's the ultimate's job to make the coals.
Do you know what the the evidence of
that is? A shafi'i mentioned that bro. A
shafi'i mentioned that.
But he mentioned
That when the situation become more constrained
the sharia becomes more facilitating.
And the opposite is true. And only that
maybe 1 of I was just going to
that of that is is that you it's
saying that it's like having coals in your
hand. Yeah. You don't go to the coals.
Yeah. You don't go and pick it up
and go. I'm gonna go and tell you
don't. They're in your hands and you bear
it to the best way. You feel Allah
the best ability. You don't go and pick
up the cones on purpose. The cones on
purpose and make it hard on yourself. Yeah.
So that's 1 thing. So this is another
thing here with the freemaking issue. Yeah? Yeah.
So this is mentioned by Ibn 'Abdul Bar.
Yeah. Okay. And some brothers have mentioned that
it's weak but I've actually confirmed that, al
Bani authenticates it. It's authenticated by many people.
And it's in Tabarani, it's Mujumu Al Kabir.
And
it's mentioned in the following
Yeah. There was a woman called
Samara Bintanhaqq.
That she met the prophet Muhammad Ali wasalam.
She's habia.
Yeah. This sambarab bin tanaheek.
And
she had a long
thing which is like a whip, I don't
know what exactly.
And she had a chimarun ghalif. She had
a thick chimar basically.
And she used
to speak
that she used
to
So imagine,
this is a woman who at the time
of the Sahabas, Amrbul Khatab, according to ibn
Abdul Bar and was authenticated by Bani, has
been put into the marketplace.
She's not only mixing with the men Yes.
But she has an authority over them. She
and this is gonna trigger a lot of
brothers. But I'm not here to once again,
we don't care. We've triggered a lot of
sisters in the past. Exactly. Yeah. We've triggered
a lot of sisters. But we have brothers,
you're gonna get you're gonna get triggered. I
don't care. Yeah. We are not here to
conceal knowledge. Yeah. Exactly. Do you know what
I'm trying to say? We're here to explain
knowledge. Yeah. That's what we can do and
do knuckle of it, transmission.
She used to speak to the brothers. She
used to speak to the probably the Sahabi
men and
to. Now this is authenticated by albani. Now
you can say I don't believe it is
weak and so on and so on. No
problem.
But this is 1 of many hadith
which indicate
that there was an interaction between men and
women. There was an interaction which was intimate,
meaning close. Yeah. I'm not trying to say
intimate in the sense. Yeah. Someone can be
cutting and pasting and doing nothing. It was
a close interaction and it was not like
what they consider to be the ideal in
terms of free mixing. Which is that you
know, it's like a complete segregation, which we
know we've seen through case studies leads to
the exact opposite of what they're trying to
achieve. Exactly. I mean, look, I'll just finish
off with this here because I find it
very interesting. Yeah. And, Sheikh, Sheikh Sohabe gave
me this. Yeah?
You said it again? No. I went to
him in person. Yeah. Yeah. Well, look, do
you know what's very funny? I went to
Sheikh Sohabe's office in person because he gave
a fatwa. Yeah. Do you know who I
was sitting on the table with Sheikh Swab,
etcetera.
Do you know who invited to the meeting?
Yeah. His daughter. Oh, is it? Oh, Sun
Bilalah, his daughter was there and bringing contributions,
talking about this matter, etcetera. Well, but Janelle
Janelle, can I tell you something? No. No.
Can I say something? I was laughing When
you're on that point before before I forget.
Yeah. Because I've got another thing. Since you
mentioned that Yeah. Look at this, Akhia. Subhanallah.
Look at since you mentioned that Yeah.
Look at this.
This is something imam Malik.
You know this. Right?
Talk to me.
Subhanallah.
Why are you finding that? Well, I was
shocked. You know why? Because I was like,
the the way they make it seem, Some
even brothers saw a stone. She was like,
okay if you go to Sheikh Suhay,
his own daughter who's a married woman, may
Allah bless and preserve her because we ask
kids. She came, sat down, we had a
discussion, they were there. I was thinking, I
was laughing, I was thinking, if these brothers
saw this covering, they'll say look at the
shirk. He's all, this is what we're saying.
This Islam doesn't belong to your dad, bro.
It doesn't belong to your mom. We followed.
You cannot come and accuse us of not
following
Quran and sunnah just because something looks abnormal
to you. Because you are an ignorant person
you don't know. You can most come and
say, brother, we prefer to be more on
the safe side. No problem. But you cannot
accuse the honor of other people. Whoever is
not just me and Ijab. Whoever is for
that matter. You guys are using words like
this man's at tayuf. Do you know what
the word tayuf means? You jahid, you are
slandering someone, calling him at tayuf. You don't
even know what tayuf means. Just because he
decides to do a argument's sake, a video
with his wife who's dressed up appropriately,
I choose not to with my wife. He's
sorry. She has a whiteboard. She express herself
very freely like that.
I choose not to. But how are you
gonna come and say now that brother is
a dayuf because he does opposite. Because if
we're measuring with that, then Abdul ibn Umar's
son and allow his wife to go to
the Jummah. Does that mean according to Islam,
you're at the youth? Yeah. Because his girl
was next level. His girl is better than
yours. Yeah. Okay. So this is another thing
here which is
like I got it here.
Yeah. In page 500 Yeah. And the I
think 4th volume.
Yeah.
So he's basically saying, say, imagine there's a
woman here.
She got a woman.
Can she eat food with her
slave boy
or with,
you know, like say her husband's friend or
something like that. He said there's no problem
with that. Bro, there's a narration on this.
That's what I'm saying. There's a hadith on
this. There's a hadith of a of a
man and a a female Ansari man who
came to the prophet and the prophet sent
sent him and said which who can take
him as a guest? Do you know what
he done? The Ansari man, he takes the
guy to his house. Check this out. Listen
to his brother. He takes the man to
his house.
He goes to his wife and says, give
some food to our guests. He says, the
only food we have is the food of
the kids. He says, put the kids to
bed. Mhmm.
So the guest doesn't know that you feel
bad.
Present the food to him. The narration says,
him,
the man and his wife are sitting on
the same plate Yeah. Yeah. Table. Yeah. And
what the woman does is she turns off
the
the the the lamp. Okay. So now the
point is this though, they were sitting
in that circle. Okay. Pretending to eat. They
they turn off the lamp so they're pretending
to eat so he doesn't feel like he's
eating the the only food that's left. Can
you see that? And and and what did
Allah's part and the the prophet
said Allah laughed at the affair. Why? He
said the fact that they went to those
lengths to
make him feel confident.
It was a man, a Sahabi with his
wife and another man eating.
What what what what's what's the what you
wanna show us something else? I'm gonna show
you something. Yeah. Okay. This is this is
the knockout. Okay. It was narrated by It
was narrated by Mohammed bin Saad bin Waqas.
Yeah? Mhmm. That his father Saad bin Abu
Waqas said, Omar asked permission to enter upon
the mess of Allah, peace be upon him.
Mhmm. And there were some woman of Quraish
with him who were talking to him and
asking too much of him and raising their
voices.
You know this woman that should not talk.
They shouldn't even be there. They are with
the measure of Allah raising their voices.
When Umar asked permission to enter, they got
up and they stand to conceal that they
hide. They they run for their life. Yeah.
The messenger of Allah gave him permission to
enter. So he entered. And the messenger of
Allah was smiling.
Umar's he said to Omar Omar said, may
Allah make you happy all your life, oh
messenger of Allah. The messenger of Allah said,
oh, I wonder at these women
who were with me. When they heard your
voice, they hasten to conceal themselves. Omar said,
oh, mess of Allah. Listen carefully, Yaqi. Oh,
mess of Allah. You are more deserving of
being feared. This is very key. Mhmm. Then
Omar said, oh, enemies of your souls. Do
you fear me more than you fear the
mess of Allah?
Uh-huh. Yeah. Look 1 second. Yeah. Tell me
more.
They said, yes. For you are harsher and
tougher than the mystery of Allah. Which shows
what? Look. He was approachable salaam. Sounds English.
To the women. Not only that. He dedicated
a whole day to teach them on Thursday.
To mention Bukhali, bro. Exactly. The point is
this How was he is he speaking to
them? Was he doing that? He's doing that.
Exactly. Do you think he was turning around
like that? Bro, you know how many of
these women came to the prophet
and spoke directly and their concerns. Yeah. This
shows you why. Yeah. Had
more of a harsher thing. Yeah. May Allah
bless him. Yeah. But the mess of Allah
in this situation so who's are you gonna
say who has more than Well,
I'm
telling you that Avia, man. Is it the
the the kind of holier than thou attitude
that tells 1 of his brothers? I'm telling
you, they don't live their lives like that.
No way. They do not. Well, like And
it's fake. And it's inauthentic.
I'm telling you.
Bro, I'm and my sincere advice is that
you have to strike a balance. Please go
ahead. If you're gonna live in the West
and you wanna be serious about living in
the west, you don't wanna go back to
Pakistan or India or, no, honestly, or Egypt
or Turkey, 1 of my countries. You don't
wanna go back back home. And because the
thing is, if you go back home, you're
gonna see the same thing. Yeah. Exactly.
But anyway, put that to the side.
If you don't do that, then you're gonna
have to learn how to okay, you got
the deen, you got the usul of the
deen, you got the hadith. You need to
learn how to navigate and be
you know what I mean? Strike a balance.
Let's strike a balance, brother. I'm gonna strike
a balance. I'll come and when's it coming
out? Brother, let's put the trailer on. When's
it coming out? Everything will be shown in
the trailer. Trailer should be in the beginning.
Well, put it in the no. No. Put
it in now.
Inshallah. Put it in inshallah. And
inshallah means that benefits you and share it
with your normal friends. Do it inshallah.
Thank you so much. Burning hands.
