Ready when you are, Sheikh.
Play.
Brothers and sisters,
and welcome to our weekly,
virtues of Islam with Sheikh Salim Alhamri.
And I believe this is lesson
number
4.
Without any delay, I will pass the screen
and the mic to the sheikh, and sheikh
can can begin.
My dear brothers and sisters
in Islam.
We are still in the introduction of the
virtues of Islam.
As you know, my dear brothers and sisters,
historically,
women
prior to the advent of Islam
were
despised.
They had no
value,
no respect for them.
They look upon them.
They consider them just like a commodity,
like any other item.
They were inherited.
When the father
dies,
his son
take his
stepmother.
He takes her
just like
a slave, like a concubine.
That was the state,
not only in Arabia.
The same
situation was among the Romans.
The
Sassanid
lands,
Iranians, the land of Iran,
the Persians,
and elsewhere.
So my dear sister,
it is Islam
who gave you your rights.
It is the Islam that liberated
you.
It is it is Islam
that gave you your due respect and what
you deserve.
Yet you find many ignorant Muslim women,
they don't appreciate this.
And they listen
to those who want
to ruin her,
to mislead her.
Those who are who brainwashed
her, those who they have hidden agenda and
they want to
use her for their own
purposes to serve their own agenda.
In Islam, there is not an issue of
women.
No issue at all.
Islam has giving women
their rights from day 1.
So what does this what we hear for
nowadays?
Women's issue, woman. What? There's no issue in
Islam.
There's no issue at all.
Islam
has given women their rights.
So what do you mean?
Woman's issue. What do you mean?
Oh, women's liberation. What do you mean?
You want her to go to the nightclubs.
You want her to have boyfriend.
You want to use her the way you
like.
That is what you mean by liberation.
You want her to to walk around
without hijab.
You want her to walk around
without wearing decent clothes
so that you enjoy watching her body.
Wake up, my sister. Wake up.
Realize what the sperm has given you,
and open your mind
and be smart.
Don't be fooled by your enemies
and what they want
from you.
They want to use you
to corrupt you.
They want you to go to *.
So in Islam, my dear brothers and sisters,
there's no issue for a woman.
Islam has given her everything everything
as you are going to hear.
So
be grateful to your lord.
Be grateful
to your creator.
Be thankful
to what Islam has given you.
The western women today,
they wish
they wish
that they have the rights
which already granted to you.
They wish they have these rights.
The poor woman, poor girl in the west,
she's
touched and works hard,
and she wants to be equal
to the man in the sense to receive
the same salary. At least, she's doing the
same job.
She has to
struggle
to gain her livelihood.
She has to do that.
She has to woke up in the early
morning,
brush her teeth,
and wash her face and brush her hair.
Take good cup of tea
and one
toast
and run to the office.
8 hours at least in her toast.
Then she goes home
totally exhausted.
Totally exhausted.
Saved you from all that.
Saved you from all that.
You are a queen at home.
Islam,
your everything is provided for you.
Everything is given to you.
Protect it from your cradle to your grave.
Respect it throughout your life.
Everyone
respects you.
Everyone looks after you.
This is what Islam has given you.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
you will not appreciate
what Islam has given you
unless you know
the situation of the women
in the past
and even today,
this very moment I'm talking to you.
Yes.
Women, they have an issue in the west,
in the Jahiliya life, in the Catholic they
have an issue,
but you we don't have that in Islam.
We don't have it.
Allah
Addressing the issue
of
the savagery,
the uncivilized
behaviour
of the people
who used to kill their children
alive, burying their daughters alive.
Allah says,
Some might think
the killing
of children
is over.
No.
Still going on.
The murder of the girls is still going
on
in different forms and different ways.
Through abortion?
If the baby the * of the baby
is girl,
talk about the baby
because she is baby girl,
or later on will be killed
and still practiced in many communities today.
This is going on.
That's why some communities, they have a problem.
Shorty
in in women,
the number of women.
So Allah reminds
mankind
by saying,
When the female infant,
this little boy girl,
buried alive is questioned.
For what crime was she killed?
Why did you kill her? Why did you
appoint
the baby? Because she is her * is
female?
And you want only boys?
And I have to tell you, my dear
brothers and sisters,
our created everything in balance.
Oh, everything is balanced.
The imbalance
happens
when we fiddle,
when we interfere
and try
to change
Allah's creation,
then we cause this disturbance
and imbalance.
If we leave things
as Allah created,
everything
will run fine.
But the moment you interfere,
we spiral,
and we cause corruption.
Cause corruption.
Allah created
man and the woman
for a certain purpose
and made
mutual
love between their them.
And they incline,
and they feel attracted
towards each other.
And Allah implanted
that desire
in us, the sexual
desire.
Where did he put it?
So that we will look for each other.
The love of desires
is made
beloved to men, to people.
They like that.
And man, by nature, is selfish.
He doesn't like responsibility,
so Allah put in him this desire so
that he will be forced
to get a woman
to marry,
and then
they multiply.
Then the human race
increase,
and generation replaces
another generation, and the process goes on.
This is what Allah
can't,
and this is what Allah wants.
Now if you want to make any change
in this order,
you will cause corruption.
You want to approve of the same *
relationship
relationship?
Man with a man or woman with a
woman? Finish.
Destruction.
Destruction.
Because you interfere
in
an area that is not yours,
and you have no right to do that
and to change
what Allah created.
So Allah will make you suffer,
but he might destroy you as he destroyed
others before.
Whole town whole
town
of Lut
was destroyed.
K? Because they were
practicing
*.
That's why *,
* *.
And
those who practice that,
sodomite. That's what the bible calls it.
And then we replace that with the beautiful
word
gay.
Gay means happy.
We don't use sodomite anymore.
Allah destroyed the whole town of Luth.
So
whenever
man
intervenes in the last creation,
he spoils,
and he causes corruption.
As Allah said,
Corruption appeared
on land and in the seas
because of what the hands of human beings
earned.
So here, Allah my dear brothers and sisters
reminds us
about killing those innocent children,
this innocent
girl that was buried alive.
That is in the day of resurrection.
When the
female infant
buried alive is questioned,
what was her claim?
What claim was she killed for?
What did she do? Nothing.
Nothing.
One day
listen
to what Islam teaches.
One day,
after
the, the
declaration
of prophet Muhammad's prophethood,
one of the companions
related to him
what he did
before Islam in Jahiliyyah.
He said,
oh, messenger of Allah,
I had a daughter.
One day, I told her mother to dress
her
as I was
taking her to her ankle.
K?
So he wants to bury his daughter,
and now he has to fool the mother
to convince her
so that she will trust him
and allow him to take his daughter with
him.
So he told his wife, I'm going to
take
my daughter to see her uncle.
The poor mother knew
what this meant
that he's going to kill her,
but she couldn't
do anything
but obey and weep.
Can you imagine, my dear brothers and sister,
This poor mother,
her own child is poor,
and now that poor beautiful girl is going
to be bedded alive.
My wife
dressed
the infant,
dressed
this little girl,
this toddler
who was rejoicing at the news of going
to her ankle.
Innocent child.
She's happy.
Oh, I'm going to see my ankle.
Was rejoicing at the news going to the
ankle?
I took her near a well.
This is
he planned for his climb.
I took her near a well
and told her to look down into the
well.
Have a look. Have a look. Look
down.
While she was looking into the well, I
kicked her into it.
He pushed this poor girl into the well.
While she was rolling down, when she was
falling,
she was shouting,
daddy,
daddy.
As he was recounting this to the prophet,
the prophet
sobbed.
He sobbed. He cried
as if he had lost one of his
nearest
kinsfolk,
as if he lost one of his own
children.
This is reported by Imam Tirmidhi and his
son.
This
how they treated
the girls
before Islam.
And Islam came
and end that horrible,
inhumane
practice.
Now how long it's a living now?
And yet many Muslim women today,
they don't appreciate
what Islam has given them.
They want to be like the
the women who are suffering.
Women in the west who are suffering.
They want to be like them.
I want to flee. I want to leave
my country.
My country, there is there's
no freedom. What do you mean by freedom?
What do you mean?
To go to dirty places.
This could text,
perhaps,
to sell your honor. What do you mean?
Wake up, my dear sisters.
Allah says
Allah
says,
Allah made for you women.
1 Surah, complete Surah
by your name. Women.
Is there a Surah in the Quran? A
riyan, men?
Women.
Addressing your rights, your issues.
Your creator
is giving you your rights.
And he saw a number 1, the first
first verse in the Surah.
Allah says,
Yeah.
Oh, mankind.
Oh, children of Adam.
Oh, humanity.
Fear your lord.
Be mindful of your lord who created you
from a single
soul,
and from it, he created
its mate.
And through both, he spread countless men and
women.
And be mindful of Allah
in whose name you appeal to one another
and honor
family ties.
Maintain the family ties.
Surely, Allah is ever watchful
over you. Let us reflect, my dear brothers
and sisters.
It's not addressing only the Muslims or the
believers.
This is an open message
for all human beings
to give women their rights
and to remind them
about
this
element, which is very
essential
in your life,
your partner,
your wife.
He created
Eve
from Adam.
So
So.
Oh,
mankind,
be mindful of your lord.
Fear your lord
because that is
the lord you will stand before
on the day of reckoning, on the day
of resurrection.
Created you
from a single
soul,
from Adam.
All of us are from Adam.
Adam, father and mother,
Adam and Eve.
K?
If you take the
humanity backward,
who where did it come from? My father
and my mother. And your father and your
mother, where did they come from? From my
grandfather and grandmother. And go back go back
till you reach
Adam and Eve, alaihimus salaam.
So all of us are the progeny
of 1 man and one woman,
Adam and Eve,
who created you.
And from this soul, Allah created
its mate.
See, the Quran is saying
mate.
Your wife is your mate.
From this
first man
and woman, Adam and Eve, he
spread
countless
a lot,
countless
men and women
men and women.
Again, Allah reminds us
that we have to be kind
and maintain the ties
of the wounds.
Keith and kin,
our kindred.
And from it, he created and through both,
he spread countless men and women, and be
mindful of Allah in whose name you appeal
to one another. You relate to one another.
He's my cousin. He's my aunt. He's my
aunt. He's my maternal uncle. He's my paternal
uncle,
etcetera,
in whose name you appeal to one another.
And honor family ties.
Allah is
ever
watchful over you.
Allah is watching you.
Allah
is watching what you are doing.
Allah sees what you are doing,
watches what you are doing,
and he is watchful
over you.
So this is the first ayah,
the Surat An Nisa.
Then if you read the Surat An Nisa,
you'll come to see your rights
because then he talks about the inheritance
and your shares.
Before Islam,
the woman herself will be inherited as a
community.
Now no.
No.
She inherits,
and she gets her right.
And here, I would like to draw your
attention.
Islam is about justice.
Justice.
So the issue of the inheritance
is based on justice.
The enemies of Islam, they fool the Muslim
woman and try to
poison
her mind by telling her why
your brother gets twice what you get.
See? This is unfair.
Though this is a silly question,
and if someone think about it,
soon he will discover
the
the silliness
of such question.
Because
a woman in Islam has no responsibility,
no obligations,
no commitment, financial commitment.
She's not the one who has to bring
the blood to the table.
She's not the one who has to leave
home and work.
It's the man.
The man.
And Islam is about
justice,
and justice is not equivalent
to equality.
They're different.
Because if we want to equate now the
man and the woman,
that will lead to injustice.
We will be unfair to the man
because
he
has obligations
towards
his family,
towards his mother, towards his sisters,
towards his wife.
So Allah
who gave the hair 2 to 1
because the man has more responsibility.
A woman in Islam,
even if she's
inherited and she has 1,000,000
of dollars,
it is the responsibility
of her husband
to spend on her,
and he has no right to touch one
single penny
of hers.
And let us
take this scenario.
A brother and a sister,
k?
They inherited.
The father left 300,000.
The boy got 200,000
and she got 100,000.
Okay? Now
who's going to
take care
of this girl? Her brother is responsible.
She's the guardian.
So from the 200,000,
he has to spend on his sister.
That money, 100,000,
is in the bank saved.
So she asked her brother, I need this
dress. I need
her shoes. I need this. He has to
pay for her.
And now this boy
is going to get married,
and he has to give
to
his wife.
K?
So now he doesn't have anyone anymore of
200,000.
Less than that for sure.
K.
And now
let's
say that
the Mahal and the cost of the wedding,
etcetera, cost him 100,000.
He's left with
less than 100,000,
And now he has to still spend on
both on his wife
and his sister.
He has to take care of both of
them.
And now a man came and proposed for
his sister.
Okay?
And he has to give her her the
the the money.
K?
And, of course, the balance from, what, country
to country.
K?
And, of course, we should try to make
the Mahab
as minimum as possible
according to the norm and the cost of
living
in that country.
K? So the average
I'm talking about,
k,
where I live,
it is
50,000,
the money
of the Mahal or 80,000
or around that figure.
K.
So or or 100.
So now let's just say,
now this man is going to marry this
girl,
and he gave her her mother.
And she got 100,000.
So how much does she have now? She
has 200,000.
How about her brother?
Less than 100,000.
And every day, it is reducing
because he takes care of his wife and
his sister.
So that's why
he was giving 2 shares
because he has obligations,
responsibilities,
and you don't have any.
And this,
it is yours.
No one has the right to touch it.
Neither your parents
nor your brothers, etcetera. It is yours.
This is your
money.
So read
read
my dear sisters.
And now listen to this beautiful hadith.
It's reported in and
this authentic hadith.
And I shall
The meaning.
Narrated
Aisha.
The
prophet was asked
about
a person
who found mosquea
witness
in his body
or clothes,
*.
So he found the moisture,
traces of *.
But they do not remember
the sexual dream.
He can't recall the dream,
but he sees the effect of it.
He replied, he should take a bath.
If you got up and you had wet
dream and you can't recall
the dream,
but you see
the this shot, then you have he or
she should take a shower
because also women,
they have wet dreams.
Then he was asked
about a person who remembered that he had
a sexual dream.
He recalls that he dragged,
but did not find Moshe.
He did not find the discharge.
He did not *.
Replied,
bath
is not necessary for him. The bath is
not necessary
for him. Because in another hadith,
you take a shower if you see
the *, the discharge.
You don't
recall and you don't see anything,
there's no shower.
No need to take a bath.
Okay.
Up to here,
our Sheikh Alba Mirahem Allah
saying this is authentic.
The portion where said,
then
asked
sorry.
Is working a necessity for a woman if
she sees that in her dream?
He replied, yes. Women are
counterpart of men.
Said this part in this particular hadith
is weak.
Though as you're going to
know, this part
is reported in other hadith
which are authentic.
The same this hadith is also made authentic
by other scholars of hadith,
like Ahmed Shaikh of, k,
Sheikh bin Bad's also considered
authentic.
But even our Sheikh Khaled Ali,
this narration
reported in other Hadith,
to to here,
he said it is authentic.
But he is talking about this, and this
is only
those who are
familiar with the science of hadith, they understand.
Because
he, the sheikh, is talking about this particular
narration with this particular,
though it is the same
meaning is mentioned in our Hadith.
For example, he said,
consider another Hadith, the prophet said in the
same Hadith,
women
are only
counterparts of men.
They are
other half of the man.
They are equal to him in this regard.
So he reported this hadith,
Sheikh al Bani in
his series of authentic ahadith
and said it is authentic hadith.
And, also, he reposted the same hadith
in,
Sahih al Jannah,
hadith 1 1,983,
where the prophet
said verily women are counterpart of men.
They are equal to men in this regard.
And
Allah
made men
men and women and men equal
when it comes to the
obligations.
When it comes to obligations,
the tariff,
there's no difference whatsoever
whatsoever between
men and women.
The
that is addressed
to the men to do
is also addressed to the women.
Is the same.
Pray as you have seen me pray.
Men and women are the same.
Learn from me your
rituals,
your the rights of Hajj. Same, men and
women.
There's no difference when it comes to the
obligations.
The Takali,
except what Allah made
women
unique.
He singled them out.
Something special
that the for the women, then in that
regard, yes, they are different
from men.
Otherwise,
they are the same.
So this beautiful hadith
where
the prophet
was asked
about a man.
He sees witness
discharge,
*
in his garment,
his underwears,
but the woman, the same thing,
and he doesn't recall a dream.
So in this case, he or she has
to take a shower.
He tells to take a shower.
And
then he was asked
he a person recalled that he he drank,
but he didn't see any wetness,
any discharge,
so no whistle. No need to take a
shower.
In another narration,
which is authentic,
a woman asked
the and
and
said,
Oh, Allah, it's prophet. Allah doesn't feel shy
of telling the truth.
A woman sees her husband making love to
her
in the dream.
Thus, she has to take a shower.
The prophet
said, if she sees the discharge,
That means
if he released
fluid.
So in the sleep, she felt
her partner is making love to her,
and she got up and sits
found this witness,
fluid,
this shot.
So
she has to take a shower.
I
think
almost, Salama said to this woman, or Aya,
She said,
may your hands touch the dust. You exposed
women.
Told her,
May your hands touch the dust.
Yes.
If a woman
had a *, tries to take a
shower.
And then he explained
that the woman, yes,
she
releases like the man,
and her fluid is yellow in color.
And because of that,
the child resembles his mother.
So you can see here the
is telling us that they
are your counterpart,
k, equal to you.
No difference between you.
In another hadith
so Islam teaches men and women alike.
Once a woman came to the
and she said, oh, prophet of Allah,
that
men, they are always with you.
They have taken you away from us.
Please make time for us.
We want to be with you.
Private meeting.
So he told her
because women, they
sent her to
talk to the prophet.
He said,
okay. Tell your sisters
to gather
to us,
meet in the house of so and so,
and he went to them.
Unda'id,
he went to them,
and he talked to them and addressed them.
This is what Islam has giving women.
Another hadith, which is in Bukhari,
And Abdullah that is.
I
use them
what is the biggest sin in the sight
of Allah?
He said
to set up rivals unto Allah,
though he alone created you. That means to
set up partners with Allah to make shirk.
And when he
created you, and he has no partners.
I said, in fact, that is a tremendous
sin
and added,
what next?
He said,
to kill your son
to kill your son,
to kill your child,
whether boy or girl,
it covers both.
It means a child.
When you hear in the Quran,
well, If he doesn't have a child, not
necessarily
a boy,
that is
how the,
the word
is used in that context.
So he said to kill your
your son or your because you see the
translator
thought it
is boy, which means actually they accurate
to kill your child.
So to kill your child being afraid that
this child
may share your food with you because that's
what they used to do, to kill their
children
out of fear or poverty
or
disgrace
disgrace
that this girl is going to bring me
disgrace and bad reputation
later on.
And Allah
assured them
and told them, do not kill your children
out of fear of poverty.
And then he said,
So the 2 verses
where he says
out of fear of poverty
out of fear of poverty,
so he mentioned the father
because man is selfish. So Allah said,
don't worry.
K?
We'll provide for you and them.
And if the poverty exists,
he said the child comes along
with his own
sustenance,
with his own provision.
So here, the
is saying that you may he kills his
child
because he's afraid that this child
might share
his food.
I further asked,
what's next?
And after that,
he said to commit
illegal
sexual *
with the wife of your neighbor.
Because to commit
with the wife of your neighbor is worse
than committing
with any other woman.
It is haram,
but with the wife of your neighbor,
it is worse
and more sinful
because he has rights,
your neighbor.
And you are supposed to
protect his owner,
not to betray him.
And here,
the word
used in Arabic,
not.
Means.
It is mutual.
The translator
didn't notice that,
So he translated it to commit sexual *.
So to Zani, it is mutual
because normally,
this
illicit relationship,
this shameful deed
is mutual.
If the woman
is not interested
and she didn't facilitate
the way, it will not happen.
So both of them are simple.
Both of them.
Okay.
If a woman, when a man
looks at her and tries to approach her,
she's
very firm
and official,
he
will leave her.
But if he sees her, softening up, smiling,
enjoying the conversation,
this what will happen.
As an Arab poet has
said, a look,
then a smile.
So a look, a smile, and then the
warmth of the bed.
K. So look,
smile,
I promise
the warmth of the bed.
So here
So you commit this shameful deed
with the wife of your neighbor
because your neighbor
has rights
on you.
The prophet said
He's not a. He's not a.
The one whose neighbor is not safe
from his evil.
And here, your neighbor is not safe from
your evil.
You meet him and you teach him kindly,
and
and he trusts you,
and he doesn't know that you are stabbing
him
in his back.
K.
So here, you are not a because
this is not the character of the.
You are supposed to
protect the owner of your neighbor,
protect
the
owner of your neighbor.
We read in the books of literature, Arabic
literature,
and they mentioned the story happened.
Say,
a man
has a relationship,
an affair with the wife of his of
his friend,
And
they agreed
to commit this shameful deed. The wife and
the friend
when her husband
left.
He's traveling.
What happened
when they were together,
the friend
and
this woman, dirty woman,
the dog
the dog
who belongs to the owner of the house,
he jumped over them
because he felt there was a stranger,
this man.
So he jumped over them and killed both
of them
killed both of them.
The man came back.
He is knocking. No one is opening the
door for him.
He managed to enter the house.
He found his wife
and his friend
in bed
dead.
He said
in a poem,
He
said,
What the horrible thing happened?
Boa Asafar,
I'm terribly sorry.
I'm terribly shocked.
My dear friend,
spoil my honor.
Stab me in the back
when I trust him?
What an amazing
thing.
That the dog
defended my honor and my absence?
My dog
is more loyal to me
than my friend.
This dog is so loyal.
It defended
me my me, my honor, and my actions
and killed both of them.
My surprise is that the God
is protecting my honor,
defending my honor,
so loyal to me,
and my friend close friend
betrays
me.
Listen to this, my dear brothers and sisters.
So the character of the Muslim
is one
who feels Allah
and he gives the neighbor
his light.
And Arab poets before Islam,
Jahiliyyah.
But see that the Arabs before Islam, they
had also
many noble qualities,
which Islam approved of,
like
generosity,
bravery,
all these things,
And he's one of the famous
poets,
and his poem is one of these poems
called,
which they used to
pick because the Arabs,
they used to have a contest for all
the poets
throughout Arabia
once a year,
and they would pick the best poems
and
place them
in the on the wall or hang them
on the wall of the Kaaba, and they
call them.
Okay?
So this is one of the
meanings given about.
So he was one of those famous poets.
His name is Antar bin al Shaddad al
Absi,
and this is before Islam.
And see, listen to what he said.
Means
the sight.
Means I lower and I close my eyes.
I lower my gaze.
In the
moment
my female
neighbor
appears and comes out from her house. So
when I see
the wife of my neighbor, I lower my
gaze, and this is before Islam.
When
my female neighbor the wife of my neighbor
comes from our house,
I don't stare at
And
they'll keep I keep
lowering my gaze
until she disappears,
till she enters
into her shelter,
enters her home, enters her house,
and not look at her.
And this was
a
man
before Islam.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
Islam
has given women their rights
and see this beautiful hadith, the consider
that this crime of killing a child
out of fear, poverty,
or disgrace
is
a grave sin and major sin.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala increase our knowledge
in the deen.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
guide all the Muslims
to the deed
and make them appreciate and understand it
and appreciate this great blessing of Islam.
And may Allah
keep us remain steadfast on this beautiful
deen,
Ameen, and may Allah forgive us our faults
and mistakes and ignorance,
and may Allah unite our
and may Allah unite
all our hearts,
unite our hearts, the
hearts of all of us in the And
may Allah reward all of you, my dear
brothers and sisters, immensely
for your patience and attendance.
We'll start the question answers time now.
Okay. So brothers and sisters, please send in
your questions fast
so we can address them in time. We
have received some questions already. We will start
with those. Those who want to ask verbal
questions, you can do so by raising your
hands,
and you can ask verbally.
Okay.
The first question,
Sheikh.
May Allah reward you with goodness for tonight's
halakhah.
I've learned that we shouldn't depend on our
wives wealth
even if they have more. Is this right?
Question mark. Yes. Very right.
You have no right to touch her wealth
at all.
No right.
No right whatsoever.
It is Haram.
You are responsible,
and you have to take care of your
wife.
That's why
but
if the wife wants to help her husband,
that's different.
She can give him as
the wife of
who happened to be
well off, and
very poor.
So she came to the prophet
asking, can I give my zakah to my
husband?
He told her, yes. You can,
and your reward will be doubled.
Is this clear?
Inshallah, this clear, Sheikh.
We go to the next question.
That's why the, the when
the woman,
told him 3 of your companions proposed,
and one of them is Maui of the
land. He said, ah, Maui is very poor.
K? Don't marry him.
He will not be able to look up
to you
because it is the responsibility
of the man to look after his wife.
So if someone
approaches you asking the hand of your daughter
or your sister,
and he doesn't have a job, tell him.
Bye.
You're not welcome.
Next.
The next question.
My question is what happens if brothers don't
look after their unmarried sister?
Is it a sin upon them under
understanding that they get a double share?
Would you mind repeating?
My question is,
what happens if brothers do not look after
their
unmarried sister,
blood sister.
Is it a sin upon them understanding that
they get a double share?
They are sinful.
They are sinful.
The brother who is not looking after his
sister is sinful,
but this will not nullify the ruling of
Allah.
Okay? If the father died,
he will get that,
but then if he doesn't spend and take
care of his sister, that's another issue.
He's committing haram, and he will be questioned
before Allah, and he will be held accountable.
Okay? Next.
So that is not the reason that we
have to say now that we have to
make
the division
of the Sharia and the,
the inheritance equal.
No.
And though in some countries,
man made law, they will distribute the the
inheritance
of the the wealth equally, that will not
make it halal with the woman
if they gave her the same,
amount. She has to give back to her
brother.
Though the law, which is man made law,
allows that, that will not make it halal.
Next.
The next question, Sheikh.
Should a man enter a room
to,
discuss with his mother, a matter,
if she is sitting with non Mahram woman
in her room?
I he's asking, is it allowed for him
to come into the room where there is
non Mahram Mahram woman there, but his mother
is there in presence also?
No. You don't go because a woman is
not a for
another woman.
Okay? So don't go.
A woman will never be a for another
woman.
So this woman came to visit your mother.
So they have their own,
privacy or privacy. So don't enter go there.
If you want to talk to your mother,
you can call your mother. She can come
out, and you can talk to your mother.
Next.
Namshi.
Next question. A brother is asked questions by
a non Mahram
about a relative or trivial questions.
Should he respond?
A brother is asked about
Yeah. He's asked is asked questions
by a non Mahram
woman,
and the questions are related to his relatives
or trivial
questions,
should he respond?
Okay. Now let us take it bit by
bit.
And then woman,
can she ask a man
some questions,
like, to call a if
she wants to learn hadid
and ask some question? The answer, yes,
providing that the conversation
is very official,
very
official.
Asking the question, getting the answer.
K?
Now this woman called this brother.
What were
if he what is he's a learned man,
and she's asking
questions about hadeen to know halal and halal,
and he answers her
on the phone, that is fine. No problem.
Now the question I was saying asking questions
about his relatives.
K. If this question is there's no benefit
in answering it,
then you don't ask.
But let's say this caller, a woman,
calls me,
okay, because
my cousin proposed for her daughter.
So she's asking me, what do you think
of this boy?
He's your cousin. I don't we don't know
anything about him.
And you are
we know you. We call you. We,
ask you questions all the time, so
you are the best one to guide us.
So what do you think?
Is he a suitable partner for my daughter?
So here I have to answer
because he is seeking my advice,
and he's asking me about my cousin, my
relative.
So I have to tell her the truth,
what I know about
this boy.
K?
So I have to tell her if he's
suitable or not.
Regarding asking trivial questions, I don't know what
the question are meant by trivial questions or
silly questions.
What is meant by that?
So if you feel
a question is not beneficial, money, just ignore
it. Don't answer.
Is this clear to the questioner?
It is clear.
If not, the question I can write back.
The next question,
Sheikh. Many say to perform Salatul Hajjah
if one wants to get something.
But as the Hadith of,
Salatul Hajjag
is extremely weak,
will it be bidah to do it?
So the question is, is the Mohammed
is extremely weak. Who told you that?
The Hadith is
authentic. K?
Hadith is authentic.
If some of the scholars of Hadith say
it is weak,
others, they authenticated it.
Sheikh Al Bani,
who's a leading authority in our time, authenticated
the narration,
which means that you play 2 rakas and
you ask Allah
for the help.
There's no harm about that.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Next.
Yes, Sheikh. It is clear.
Okay. The next,
question.
For the beneficial knowledge. May I request you
to guide us a resource of the Quran
translation
with detailed tafsir,
or maybe advise us if there is anything
on YouTube where we can watch?
See, regarding the translations
of all the translations
available, you cannot say that this is the
best one.
Cannot.
You
found certain places
the translator,
they
managed to get very, very, very close to
the to the meaning,
and this
that is from one translation to other.
Sometimes we find
the
the translation which is very close to the
close, not exactly close,
conveying the meaning of the Arabic aya the,
the meaning of it in Arabic,
like in Yusuf Ali, sometimes in Bechtel, sometimes
in other. So they are you cannot say
this this is it. You cannot.
And this will remain.
This will remain because the Arabic language is
so rich,
and there's no equivalent language
like the Arabic language. You cannot find.
K? So
meanwhile,
you can,
get copies of the tafsir
translation of the tafsir if you don't know
Arabic.
But
take it from me.
If you don't learn Arabic, your knowledge will
remain superficial
because you are at the mercy of the
translator.
That's it.
So there is someone between you and the
original text, which is the translator.
But until you master Arabic,
no harm reading the translation.
Now is
there,
etcetera.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Next question.
What about if someone is working
in a public office or charity organization,
but accordingly
to his salary estimation
that he has much more money,
and he wants to join an existing business
as share holder,
and we are not sure anything whether this
money is halal or haram. What can we
do?
If I get the guess of the question,
a person is working in a charity organization.
Okay. So and he has salary. He wants
to invest now in a in a company?
Yes. Yes. Yes,
sir. Okay. So now when you want to
invest your money, make sure
that this company of,
this project is halal,
k,
or this establishment.
And you should and ask before you start
investing,
do you have Sharia committee?
Do you have a committee that checks your
transactions
if they are halal or haram.
If they don't,
don't
invest in such company.
First of all, you have to make sure
that the transactions and the nature of the
business is halal,
and there is a body
checks
the transactions
and the activities of this
establishment,
this company.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Shall I just clear, Sheikh? Also, the person
has doubt
about their money. They are saying that according
to their estimation of the salary,
they believe they have more.
They've got more than their estimated salary.
Are they are they now they are thinking
to invest this. Is it halal or not?
What did you understand from this question?
Sheikh, I understood that,
according to the salary he was supposed to
he or she was supposed to receive
monthly,
they ended up with more than what they
were supposed to receive.
So perhaps they should check why he has
got extra in the first place.
Now I am working in
in a place.
Yeah. K?
And
the I signed
the agreement.
Agreement is I joined with the employer,
and this is your salary.
And now I received more increment.
More more than what is agreed upon.
So I can ask them. I got an
agreement.
You can ask the HR.
This month, I got this one. Is it
a mistake? Is it an increment? Is it
bonus? Is it what is it?
K?
And then you know. If they say this
is bonus, this is increment, this is raise,
then it is okay for you as long
as what you are doing is halal. I
don't know what is the nature
of your activity in this company. If this
company is working halal, as I think you
mentioned, it's organization
or charitable organization,
then
there's no harm. Next.
Namshah.
Next question.
What is your opinion of the increasing
trend of Muslim life coaches,
and what should their qualification
be?
Would you encourage a sister to set up
a business as a life coach?
You mean counseling or what? What do you
mean by life coaching?
It's similar to counseling, Sheikh, but it's like,
they seem
they they promote themselves with courses
and,
and mentorship,
that you pay them fees and they'll guide
you with your life. You know, you go
to them and they'll say
take advice and etcetera.
Okay. I I need more input.
Life life decisions
and, in terms of,
you know, business or reaching your goals,
remaining positive,
etcetera.
So, anyway, if this is done within the
framework of the Islamic teaching, there's nothing haram
there.
So it is it looks to me it's
like, you are seeking consultancy or,
an opinion.
So you want someone to guide you and
to
tell you, the right way how to do
handle such a situation.
If that is the case, then there's no
harm
providing that the the charges and the rates
are, are reasonable.
Okay? And,
the advice or the piece of
information they give is valuable.
Then in that case, there's no harm. Otherwise,
if it is just to
mislead the people and to get them money
and to cheat them, then everyone knows
his intention
or her intention.
And you need to ask
the someone in your area
who knows the nature of what you are
doing
because to me now,
the information is not sufficient.
Either you send me full information
and input
so that I will get the full picture
inshallah.
Next question, please.
Also, I I believe they need to be
careful also because,
they need some sort of criteria or qualification
in order to help or guide somebody
in in in making the right decisions
and making sure that it's not the wrong
wrong things.
You have to you have to be qualified.
The Well, you should enough. You should know
you should you should have, studied psychology. You
should have studied the,
the,
the art of the marital relationships.
No. No. We have experience as well.
Definitely. Experience. Yeah.
Now as she has said,
the information you provided is is a bit
general. It needs more detail, Inshallah, so she
can address it in in more detail, Inshallah.
Sheikh, that was our final question for tonight.
If you'd like to conclude.
May Allah bless you all. May Allah
protect you all. May Allah bless you. Bless
your family. May Allah
has mercy in all of us. Amen.
And may Allah raise your status in this
life and the one to come, amen.
And may Allah keep us remain steadfast in
this beautiful deen al Islam till we meet
him,
and he is pleased with all of us,
amen.
Until we meet
in the coming
session, I leave you in Allah's company and
protection.
