arhama ar-raheemin Arabic This is Wednesday's du
'a for anybody who hasn't attended before our
live stream we are constantly trying to revive
this concept of the Wednesday du'a there
is a reason behind it some of the
viewers who are accustomed to this can tell
you and share this with you we stop
here and wait, make du'a for a
couple of minutes, inshallah, because Wednesday between Dhuhr
and Asr, the du'a is accepted.
O Allah, may You forgive us and forgive
those who have sinned, and peace be upon
the Messengers and praise be to Allah, the
Lord of the worlds.
Hey Omar, can you pull that light over
a little bit?
Alright here we go, let's take some Q
&A.
Today we're gonna look at some Q&A
today because we haven't done it in a
while and there's always a lot of Q
&A's that we don't see.
So first one says, Homayra Khan says, I'm
a newbie to this channel, when do you
stream?
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays around 1pm.
We usually almost always stream at 1.30pm,
but when there's construction sometimes we get delayed
with that.
Other questions, do I make a du'a
as soon as I see the Kaaba?
You know, I've heard that a lot, but
I don't know what the basis is and
either way, there's no loss in it.
Is it a belief, a doctrine that we
have that as soon as you see the
Kaaba, the du'a is answered?
Omar, can you look that up?
I hear that a lot, but I haven't
necessarily seen anything.
There could be an athod or, yeah can
you pull that up because I've seen it
a lot, I've heard it a lot, sorry.
If someone dies with sweat on their forehead,
is it a good death?
I can't say it is, I mean there
are, I've never seen any narration or anything
that states that it's good to die with
sweat on your forehead.
We can imagine a lot of people die
with sweat on their forehead and pretty much
anyone who dies in the daytime in a
hot country will have sweat on their forehead.
So I don't think that that's a rule.
There's no thing that I've seen that relates
to that.
Is it haram to wear the color yellow?
First of all, that narration about the color
yellow, is it karahiya, discouragement or is it
prohibition in the first place?
And my understanding of it is that it's
discouragement in the scenario where that color indicates
or is either well known to be the
color that only women wear or pagan priests.
In the time of the Arabs, that color
yellow was a pagan priest.
Right now, for example, there is a shade
of yellow that Buddhist monks wear.
If you were to wear a shawl that
that's color.
By the way, this is Yemeni thread, they're
really good, I'm wearing my Yankees colors.
Just coincidence, really, but the Yankees are in
the series.
Do people even know what baseball is anymore?
Do people even know what it is?
Man, when I was in high school, it's
all memories to me.
It's all high school memories to me.
When the Yankees were having their, it was
a dynasty, the World Series starts Friday in
LA and the Dodgers are the favorites.
The Dodgers have been creaming everybody.
But the Dodgers are the favorites and it's
Yankees-Dodgers.
You know, people, they get attached to things
that are connected to their youth and their
childhood and that's the only main reason why
these sports teams and leagues continue.
It's because people, it's something that they did
in their childhood and that's why they say
what is the greatest era in all of
sports?
It's the era of your youth.
When you were a middle schooler and a
high schooler, even in college, that's the greatest
era for you because it was meaningful to
you.
Of course, eventually you grow up and you
realize it's sort of just a pattern and
different teams win and have dynasties, etc.
But anyway, so when a garment is colored
a certain way, that's what we call Shi
'ar Fisq.
It symbolizes to people in society something bad.
I'll give you an example of even a
sunnah that probably you may be discouraged from
using right now.
Right?
I'll push to the side a bit.
Namely, kohl is a sunnah to use.
It's a sunnah to use kohl.
Here, I can put it here, Omar.
Too smoky?
It's a sunnah to use but now if
you use that, people are going to think
you're gay.
That's the truth.
Or trans or something.
Who knows what.
But so now the ruling on it may
change, may or may not change.
You know the middle ground that I found,
and that's just my own opinion on it,
is that if you're wearing all so-called
Islamic clothes, Muslim distinctive clothes, like a kufi
and a thawb, and you have a beard
and everything, at that point putting on kohl,
no one's going to think you're trans.
So the ruling on that, as I understand
it, and I'm not saying that this is
the only understanding so nobody jumps on it
and gets upset, but the way that we've
been taught about garments and clothes is that
the color yellow or the color pink and
rose, if and when it would be a
symbol of something that's not appropriate for us
to do or sinful, then it becomes discouraged
for us to wear it.
So if I was to come in wearing
one of those, that same Buddhist color yellow
scarf, people might think you're a Buddhist.
Or at least it'll just be like a
topic, why are you dressed like that?
So that's what the opinion is on wearing
those colors.
So it is mu'allal, mu'allal means
the Prophet, it's discouraged for a reason, and
the reason is known.
Same I asked my Shaykh about dyeing hair,
and I asked him, was the dyeing of
hair black, the prohibition of dyeing black, is
it mu'allal or is it just ta
'budi?
He said there's a difference of opinion.
Some said it's purely ta'budi, it's just
something to obey the Prophet on it and
that's it.
Others said no, it's mu'allal, it has
a reason, and the reason is misleading future
spouses because you may propose to somebody and
in the old days they don't know what
your age is except by physical signs on
you.
So by dyeing your beard black, an Arab
man can mislead a woman.
Then she discovers that he's a lot older
than he appeared.
And that's where the sinfulness is.
So I responded, well if that's the case,
then an Irish person isn't forbidden from dyeing
his hair black when he gets old.
If he's about to propose to a woman,
his prohibition would be dyeing his hair red,
which is the color of his hair.
Or if he was a Norse guy, dyeing
his hair blonde.
And he agreed to that.
He said yeah, it would be misleading.
So there's kalam on the matter, there's discussion
on the matter.
So regarding dyeing the hair black, and the
best is ihtiyat, ihtiyat is to be careful
and cautious.
Being careful and cautious is regarding the difference
of opinions out there.
And so if there are a large swath
of people who say that it's prohibited to
dye your hair black absolutely, then just keep
that in mind.
Then why would you need to go to
black?
Go to dark brown.
And there are types of hinnah that are
dark brown.
See there's hinnah, there's color, and there's dye.
Hinnah is the strongest of all.
If you keep that long enough, you're going
to dye your skin.
And then there's color, which is the cheapest
of all.
That'll give you two weeks of a color.
That's just for men and stuff.
Then there's dye.
You do that at the barbershop.
And that color will stay for a long
period of time.
And it is recommended for a man to
remove the whiteness with some color.
The Prophet ﷺ has a thought about this,
where he encouraged hinnah.
Now does the hinnah, when the Prophet encouraged
it, again there's a question, is he encouraging
hinnah specifically or coloring the whiteness with any
color beyond black?
And Allah knows best.
Again, probably you're going to have kalam on
this.
There's no absolutes on everything.
So there's probably talk on it.
I personally think that if you color your
hair bright orange, sometimes people may look at
you odd.
And then, you know, they may...
It's opinion.
It's ʻurfi opinion.
Right?
It's ʻurfi.
So does coloring the hair with any color
assume the same thing?
I would assume so.
Why?
Based on qiyas.
Qiyas with...
and of course hinnah being closer to the
sunnah, something the Prophet did.
The tooth stick.
So again, we ask the question, miswak, is
it about cleaning the mouth?
Or is it about the stick itself?
And Habib Umar answered that.
And he said it's about cleaning the mouth.
Except that the miswak fulfills the most of
what is beloved by Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
But it's about cleaning the mouth, right?
Rocket Royale says, how old can a girl
be so I can shake hands with her?
There's difference of opinion about this.
The marikiyah stop at the age of two.
The other opinions stop at the age of
desirability.
Not puberty.
Puberty would be later than that.
Desirability.
When is that girl becoming mature enough that
she's no longer a child?
It's like a window, right?
And it's a spectrum.
So it's better to stay away from that.
Earlier the better.
So again, back to the subject of the
hair dye.
Most likely, probably, it's for the sake of
the color.
And henna would be better because it is
something that the Prophet used.
And whenever the Prophet ﷺ used something and
it had a function.
The function is most important, but also the
form is important simply because it reflects an
attachment to the Messenger himself ﷺ.
And so it would be more complete if
you use the same exact item that the
Prophet used.
Be it a miswak or henna for dyeing
hair.
And it's understandable if somebody doesn't want to
be too orange and it may be different
for a society.
By the way, all this is for men.
Women can dye their hair any color at
any time.
Now, the miswak does have different kinds of
miswak.
There is the Araq tree.
Aoud al-Araq.
And they use the roots and they use
the branches.
This believe it or not is a licorice
tree and it's what they use in Puerto
Rico.
This is Puerto Rican miswak.
In Puerto Rico they use this.
You never see a miswak that looks like
it has bark and is this big, right?
After the Araq tree, from the Araq, the
best is the dry miswak, al-yabis.
Then the moist after that.
And then after that they say the olive
twigs, twigs of the olive tree.
But ultimately the sunnah has been fulfilled by
any cleaning of the mouth.
Even if you use just a plastic toothbrush.
But it's more complete when you use what
the Prophet ﷺ used.
How can a girl be, oh wait, we
answered this question about a girl.
Ruling of Muslim attending a baby shower of
a child born out of wedlock.
Well let's ask the question.
What is the, that is not something to
be celebrated.
Baby showers are to be celebrated.
It's a celebration that you're now becoming a
new mom.
And the community helps you out and gives
you stuff like bibs.
Bibs and you know, these types of things.
And you know, baby stuff, bottles, heater.
You know there's this, the whole industry, the
baby industry.
Like there's a little bottle warmer that you
put next to your bed.
You fill it with water, you plug it
in.
So that the milk is warm, all that
stuff.
They buy her all that stuff.
And she's about to go into a very
painful and difficult period of life.
So I think they just want to cheer
her up, stuff like that.
I think those things are okay as long
as there's no taqalluf.
Taqalluf is now it's becoming like burdensome on
people.
But what if the child is out of
wedlock?
That's nothing to celebrate.
You can't go and celebrate that.
Can you give, you can achieve the issue
of sadaqah if they're poor without the celebratory
element.
I mail you a, you know, a baby
carriage or something like that.
But we're not going to celebrate something like
that.
What if the person made tawbah?
That's still, we're still not going to celebrate
it if you made tawbah.
Question you have been asked before while you're
born in America.
But where do you originally come from?
Egypt.
How, is there a legal limit in terms
of the maximum length men's hair can be?
Others mention in the fatwa that there is
no limit on the length of men's hair.
Well, the limit is at-tashabbuh bin-nisa.
That's the limit.
At-tashabbuh bin-nisa.
Looking like women.
That's really the limit.
Is there a limit on, has there been
any mention on the limit of the length
of a man's hair?
I don't know.
But I do know, at-tashabbuh, appearing like
women.
And the reverse for women, appearing like men.
So women do have a limit on how
short to keep their hair because it would
be at-tashabbuh bin-nisa.
And Allah wants our philosophy, the prophetic philosophy,
or view, or world view on genders is
that your * is your gender.
They're one and the same thing.
And there are certain behaviors that are taught
and transmitted from revelation, from prophethood, from the
sunnah of the prophets, for a way for
men to behave and women to behave.
These things entail obligations, recommendations, discouragements, and
prohibitions.
Generally, between discouraged or prohibited even, to appear,
and I say there is a spectrum, generally,
between discouraged and prohibited, to appear like the
opposite gender.
Allah beautified women with hair and men with
beards.
And hence, a man should have something on
his face.
That's how Allah beautified him.
And women have hair.
So a man should not seek to compete
with women having beautiful long hair.
What is he going to do, comb it
all day?
The prophet, peace be upon him, discouraged a
man who has that kind of vanity.
And a woman should also remove any facial
hairs that she has so she doesn't appear
like a man.
So we're intentionally trying to be distinct at
every turn.
Distinction between a man and a woman.
That's our philosophy.
So we're happy that the left is so
open and accepting because that's our unique way
of identifying and that's our unique philosophy and
based upon their usool, they should accept us
and celebrate us and give us a flag
and give us a day and give us
a pin and make it like the yin
and yang or something.
There is males and there is females.
And that's all we believe in.
We don't believe in anything else.
Anything else is, we're talking in the natural
norms of life.
Yes, we do recognize there are intersex people
but nonetheless, they would still adopt a gender
and live by it.
That's the thing.
Their existence of intersex people is a fact.
But how do they live is another question.
They will adopt a gender.
There's no discussion about that.
They'll announce to the community, here we go.
I will behave as a man or I'll
behave as a woman.
And you would announce that to the community.
That now I'm a guy.
And now you live with the brothers.
Although intersex people, technically speaking, they actually can
do everything with men and women.
It can be with, depending, sorry.
I should qualify that.
If they are khuntha mushkil, where it's completely
unknown, they don't have either side, then they
can do everything with the males and the
females.
But this would cause confusion in the society
and in the community.
So they have to choose one.
When it comes to the khuntha that does
have a dominant gender, then they have to
live by that gender.
But that's like the exception.
A philosophy is not built for the exception.
The exception is in the footnote or in
the final chapter by itself.
The philosophy of gender in Islam is binary
and intentionally distinct.
There are obligations that a man has, which
is, we mentioned before, that he is the
one who is going to be a provider
and a protector.
And there are expectations, if not obligations, there
is an expectation for a mom to care
about her babies.
It's just an expectation.
There is no law that says this, except
that once a baby is in her care,
then it becomes an obligation based on Allah
saying, So if a man is out and
about earning, then obviously she is legally responsible
for her ra'iyah, which is her babies
and her children.
So essentially that's the summary of our philosophy
on dress code, walking, talking.
So for example, the Prophet said a woman
should not soften her voice in front of
non-mahram men because it would be attractive.
A man should not soften his voice and
appear weak.
So that's the basic summary.
In my work, a brother says, as a
sports trainer, the one who manages the trainers
is a woman.
Manager of company I work in is a
man who manages area of company I work
in.
So can women within work be leaders?
From my understanding of it, the hadith of
a woman will not, a people will not
succeed if they hand their affairs to a
woman has to do with the protection of
the society and providing the ultimate for the
households.
That's what I understand.
And I can talk to my Sheikh about
that.
But a woman can own a business, run
a school, run a non-profit, like there
is no, none of the essentials of life
of protecting the land, protecting the house or
ultimately providing for the family are based on
that.
So there are limits to that and I
can get you a more robust answer to
that later.
But that's what I know from my discussions
with Sheikh is that it has to do
with the main providing and protecting of the
family and then the town, the city, the
village, the nation, etc.
Beyond that.
How do you lead Jumu'ah in school?
Well, first of all, you have to follow
the Madhhab that allows Jumu'ah outside Masajid
in the first place.
And that's going to be the Shafi'i
school.
So you're going to observe your Jumu'ah
according to the Fiqh of the Shafi'i.
Because according to the Malikis and I think
the Hanafis, Jumu'ah has to be in
a Masjid because the Prophet ﷺ never prayed
Jumu'ah.
In Hanafi it doesn't have to be a
Masjid?
Okay, good.
So when you establish Jumu'ah, in the
Maliki school you get to establish Jumu'ah
from Dhuhr all the way to Maghrib as
long as you have time to pray Asr
before that.
At least one Raka'ah of Asr.
So the Adhan is called, or the Imam
says As-salamu alaykum, then the Adhan is
called, then the Imam gives a Muqaddimah, an
introduction, in which he begins the Khutbah with
Hamd.
And he prays on the Prophet ﷺ and
he says the Shahada and he recites a
verse of Qur'an.
And then he gives a speech.
That speech could simply be reading a Hadith,
reading a verse of Qur'an, reading a
Surah, reading Tafsir.
He could just read from a piece of
paper.
And then he sits down.
Then he gets up again, he makes Dua,
and he calls for the Ummah, and then
he calls for Iqamah.
And you pray two Raka'ahs out loud.
That's how simple it is.
Is marriage a Sunnah?
Yes it is.
You get rewarded just for marrying.
And the rewards are going to unfold throughout
your life.
The rewards don't come down by themselves.
They come down through a scenario in which
you can act.
So remember, rewards don't just happen.
There are scenarios in which you can attain
those rewards.
So for example, the reward of dying a
martyr, it needs a scenario.
The reward of increasing the Ummah of the
Prophet needs a scenario.
The reward of helping a kid needs a
scenario.
And how do you raise kids?
One dentist appointment at a time.
One soccer practice at a time.
One math quiz at a time.
That's how children are raised.
That's how memories are formed for kids.
That's how good kids come out of good
households, is one math quiz at a time.
One soccer practice at a time.
One dentist appointment at a time.
You cannot count how much time, hours you
spent with this other human being.
That's how you develop a good human being.
You develop somebody by hours upon hours upon
hours of exposure.
And also, it does require some courage, some
awareness of where things are not going well.
And there are a lot of people, I
have to say it's very bad, they're actually
afraid of their kids.
They'll see a kid developing a very bad
habit and they'll be afraid to say something.
Well, you must have went wrong way earlier
than that.
You must have went wrong far earlier than
that.
So, that's a problem.
A parent, especially a dad, has got to
embrace the few moments in which you got
to be a bad guy.
The earlier you embrace that, and the quicker
you explain it to your assignment, your child
is your assignment from Allah Ta'ala, your
test.
Explain it to them.
I have to raise you.
I have to tell you stuff that people
will say, will think about you and not
say it.
They're going to think, they're going to backbite
against you that you smell bad, that your
clothes is not ironed, that you look dirty,
that you interrupt, that you're terrible to eat,
you're sloppy when you eat.
They're all going to think it and they're
going to backbite against you.
Nobody's going to tell you because they don't
have to.
You're not their kid.
But Allah has given you to me as
an assignment to test me and to benefit
you.
So, I've got to tell you, you need
to iron your clothes, you need to look
clean, you need to smell clean, your face
needs to be clean, your eating habits need
to be, how are you going to propose?
You're going to go eat dinner at the
family and who did you bring home?
Right?
And women, moms do this for their daughters,
they know best.
And guys do it for their sons because
we know best.
That's how it works.
If you're married and you don't have a
husband and it's a woman runs the house,
like a woman is a single mom, she
outsources to other guys in the community, to
the slightly older guys, right?
Who have the time and they could sort
of hang out and we have this in
our scenario.
We got some kids have no dads in
the area and we all kind of sort
of know that we got to pick up
where a dad would have been.
If I see this kid slouching in a
certain manner, walking without his back straight, his
handshake is weak, he looks at you, he
talks to you without looking, everyone has to
pick up a little bit.
We can't leave this kid.
What was the point of a masjid?
What's the point of a community?
Why did the prophet reward salat al-jama
'a, group prayer, 27 times more?
Ikhlas, sincerity is better alone.
But the prophet rewarded the group prayer 27
times more.
Why?
It's for things like this.
The social element of things, the reward that
you can get out of this.
When you pray in jama'a, you're encouraging
others, it's a place where people can meet.
And then manafat happens, benefits happen.
So when we see this kid the way,
and something's not right, like brother, so and
so, you cannot wear the same sweatpants for
three months in a row.
We see it, it's noticeable now, right?
You become like, did you paint them on?
No, you can't do this.
I know those things have not been in
the wash.
He's just been wearing the same sweatpants for
three months.
You sleep in them, you wake up with
them.
No, you can't continue like this.
I know you don't need sadaqah too.
So change your clothes, iron your clothes.
Don't always show up in sweatpants and a
t-shirt.
I know the whole new generation is all
about this, right?
The sweatpants and a t-shirt.
That's all it is, hoodies and sweats and
stuff.
But I'm telling you, there comes a time
where it's not going to be good for
you.
You're not going to fight the culture 100%,
right?
Nobody can totally transform a culture, but you
can tweak a little bit, right?
A lot of young people, I just wonder
where their dads are at.
Your son walks with his shoulders hunched like
he's some abused kitten.
Don't you see your son, how he walks?
Fix your back.
Walk with some confidence.
You look like you're an abused kid.
Well, maybe they are abused.
Who knows?
So, every one of us, if you live
in a community, and you live with these
youths, and you see them so much, it's
okay to say something here or there, right?
And you could say it to a whole
group of kids.
And there are expectations, and that's why socialization
is one of the greatest educators.
It's a source of education.
We all shake hands, and you look a
person directly in the eye.
You say salam, and you learn how to
make small talk.
Some of these kids, their dad never taught
them what to do with their face.
Pimples, peach fuzz.
So you see, the kids who have solid
dads who pay attention to them, who treat,
it's like a different species.
It's a thousand little things that build up
over time.
The kid who's been given attention, and the
kid who's not given attention, they're so far
apart.
And it's not kibr.
It's not saying that one is superior to
the other.
Allah knows that.
But they're externally, everything about their life, it's
light years apart.
They're like different creatures.
Different species.
From talking, from appearance, even from direction, from
knowledge, from basic worldly knowledge to religious knowledge,
life direction, life priorities, how to have conversations,
knowledge about politics, things like that.
And that's where the masjid community comes into
play, because some people, the parent may be
too busy, no parent at all, whatever the
case may be, the jemaah can maybe cover
20% of that.
If it's a couple guys intentionally, and we
have that in certain circumstances, we intentionally know
this kid does not have a dad, and
he needs some extra help, so don't be
shy.
And the mom expects it and wants it,
that's different.
That we can cover 70%.
Even if you don't live with them.
Just the mom comes constantly bringing the kid
to the masjid, and we talk to them.
And they know it too.
They know that we're going to be your
male examples, so that you don't get laughed
at.
And certain things, they pile up.
Certain habits pile up, and they take a
person in a terrible direction.
Anti-social habits, cell phone use habits, hygiene
habits.
Let them pile up for 10 years.
See what happens.
It's really hard to do it.
Drigger likes the red lights in the back,
because they're coming up almost as like orange
to red.
Yeah.
The whole light in the back was Omar's
idea.
Is painting permitted?
Yes, it's permitted.
And the only thing that's makrooh in painting
is a creature in its full form.
So if you were to draw a lion
face, you know how the Hanafis always give
me grief over this.
But I'm like, well, it's permitted in the
Maliki school.
What's discouraged is the full creature that could
live like that.
So for example, if you chopped a tiger
in half, if you have half a tiger
coming off the page, a tiger in half
can't live.
It'll bleed to death.
A head of a tiger, head of a
human.
So it's being full and being three-dimensional,
meaning a statue having a shadow.
Is it farteh for men to pray all
five prayers in congregation in the masjid?
Sunnah.
It's not farteh, it's sunnah.
Is cryptocurrency lawful?
It is lawful to trade in crypto, according
to many ulema.
Sheikh Abdul Hamid al-Mubarak, he has not
yet given an opinion on that.
Other people have given an opinion and they're
very much supporting cryptocurrency.
Not supporting, but holding it halal.
Can women color their beards?
No.
They cannot just use white to color their
facial hair.
They should remove it completely.
I saw an Instagram account of an imam
that does interfaith nikah.
Is that permitted?
No.
Only ahl al-kitab for the bride.
And the groom has to be a Muslim.
But a Hindu can never marry a Muslim,
male or female, any pagan religion, no religion
at all.
What is a valid marriage?
I'm not even saying the ruling on it,
because the malikiya have some strict commentary on
marrying ahl al-kitab, especially where your rights
are not guaranteed by a shariah court.
But nonetheless, it is a valid marriage if
the woman is Jewish or Christian.
Driger says, can we buy dog coin if
it's Elon Musk's?
You notice, I don't have a blue check
anymore.
I'm not paying that thing again.
I'm not giving him money.
I mean, that's what I'm saying now.
You never know the future, because if he
may change his opinion, which I don't think
is going to happen, right?
I didn't, right?
I don't, I didn't.
Okay.
I don't think he's going to change, but
I personally don't want to give him any
money.
I can't say a ruling on it, a
guarantee.
But at the moment in time, I don't
want to give him any money.
So I, wait, I do have the blue
check.
Okay, well, I didn't renew it.
So it's that blue check is going to
go away soon.
It's going to go.
Well, let me actually double check, make sure
there's no auto renew on this stupid thing,
because I'm not giving him any money anymore.
Although it's not going to really move the
needle for him.
But for me personally, let's see if profile
customer, customer profile, blah, blah, blah.
I don't know.
I'll look at this later, but personally don't
want to give him a buck.
What's going on?
A lot of construction.
All right.
What do you say about the people who
said the Palestinians are worse off after attacking
Israel.
Therefore, this was not a good, not wise,
not beneficial and may have even been harmful.
This is what I'll say.
It's not just about are the Palestinians better
off?
It's also about are the Israelis worse off?
Because you don't just improve yourself.
You also destroy your enemy.
You need to bring down your enemy.
So the question is, what is the status
of Israel now?
Guaranteed 100%.
They're now so hated in the world right
now.
There's no discussion about it.
They are so despised by any country that's
experienced any colonization, any poverty or any hardship
despises them.
They themselves have lost any sense of any
moral grounds.
They themselves have a derangement syndrome in the
attempt to justify.
They have genocide derangement syndrome.
That's what they have now.
Ben Shapiro's attempts to justify this war are
ridiculous, right?
Hey Omar, what happened to my hair here?
No hair?
I guess no hair.
Ben Shapiro's attempts to justify this war are
so vile, it's not going unnoticed.
It's very noticed, noticeable.
And history will not judge these people with
any kindness at all, whatsoever.
Every single one of them, from Peter S.
Morgan to Netanyahu himself, to every supporter in
between.
History will be a very tough judge on
all of them.
So where is your enemy is also a
question you have to ask.
Secondly, who did this?
Not an elected government?
So let the Palestinians decide the limit.
Let the Palestinians be the ones who judge
whether this is worth it or not, or
whether we should have done it or not.
I haven't seen, have you seen Omar, any
Palestinians condemning Hamas?
So why are you worried so much about
it?
And we have some of these people who
have the nerve, as Imams, allegedly, saying
that what the Palestinians did, they did it
to themselves, and this was not wise.
So what do you expect?
Victory without any sacrifice?
And I'm not telling the Palestinians what to
do and to go and make sacrifice.
I'm not going to tell anyone to make
a sacrifice I haven't made myself.
They're the ones to decide, and they've decided.
And if they didn't decide, then let's ask
a simple question.
Show me a Palestinian who says that we
should have not done anything to Israel.
A Gazawi.
Show me one person in Gaza who has
lost, or hasn't lost, they all have lost
everything.
Homes, relatives.
Show me one who is against what's happening
here, and who blames Hamas for what his
enemies have done.
When Allah tells us, لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارِ To
antagonize your enemy.
Why did Allah say to antagonize your enemy?
Because when they're antagonized, they don't behave properly.
They lose their intellect.
They don't behave right.
And then they destroy themselves.
Do you think Israel is ever coming out
of this?
As I've said before, they have now painted
themselves permanently as the global antagonists.
As evil empire.
And the humans of the earth will not
allow for this story to end without justice.
And that's what famous Martin Luther King's famous
saying, the arc of history always bends towards
justice.
Sooner or later.
If not now, next generation.
If not next generation, next generation after that.
It's not going to go away.
It's not going away.
There's no way to brush this under the
rug.
They're stuck permanently.
This has to come.
The chicken has to come home to roost.
Through justice or through a far worse evil
that takes other oppressors to account.
And that's how the Sunnah of Allah on
earth.
If justice doesn't take people to account, other
bad people will take you to account.
And will punish you.
In the same way that Saddam Hussein, he
did a lot of bad things, right?
Saddam Hussein was, I know a lot of
Arabs love him today.
Because he stood up to the Americans, died
upon the Shahada, he said la ilaha illallah.
Yeah.
Before he went and got hung.
But let's not forget all the terrible things
he did.
He was one of the worst dictators in
the world.
Well, the victims never had a chance to
take him to account.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent another oppressor
to take him to account.
And they went and of course they oppressed
other people and they got him too.
It's not like they're, it's not that justice
is only done by angels or that oppressors
are only handled by righteous people.
No, oppressors are handled by righteous people who
exact justice or by other oppressors who for
their own evil motives, you're in the way
and they get rid of you.
I don't think that's going to happen to
Israel.
I think righteous and truthful justice is what's
going to eventually bring them to justice and
they're going to face what they have to
face.
But the nerve of some of these people
saying that, look at the result, like blaming
them.
You're not in the position to do that.
Let them blame themselves.
And I have the same thing about every
culture out there who's suffering in some way,
shape and form or some, it's the arrogance,
the presumptuousness.
This is what I hate about Americans coming
and telling Muslim countries how to treat each
other and how do you treat your women.
Why don't you just stay out of it?
You've got your own problems.
Look at your women.
They're not exactly paragons of perfection either.
You're not going to have women soon from
the declining birth rates in your countries which
are all messed up.
So the presumptuousness of people to come and
tell the Palestinians what they did right or
wrong when they're suffering like this.
Let them interpret it.
Let them be the judges of how much
they want to go after Israel.
According to the United Nations, I saved it
here somewhere.
Let's get it exactly.
Muqas if you're clipping this, you can just
pause for a second.
Let's get this exact.
I need to see this.
Give me a second.
Or as we say in the soup kitchen
here, uno segundo.
Because we speak Spanish now.
Where is it?
It's, subhanallah, where did I have it?
Here.
It's a United Nations...
Here it is.
No.
Bismillah, bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
We should, I guess, memorize this because although
this is not our justification, this is not
the revealed law.
This is still secular law.
By the standards of secular law, Hamas has
the Palestinians, I'm going to say it's the
Palestinians so we don't get...
Oh, here it is.
What is the United Nations right to resist
occupation?
Based on the Charter, the 1970 United Nations
General Assembly Resolution 2625, 2625.
Easy number to memorize.
Explicitly endorses a right to resist subjection of
peoples to alien subjugation, * and exploitation.
It's in Wikipedia under right to resist.
Resolution 2625.
Now does it say how to resist?
And one person from each group was blamed
to say, OK, but you killed some innocent
people in this thing.
And the answer to that is, well, the
way he answered it at least, he said
that we try not to, right?
We try not to, but it happened.
And it may happen, but you also, why
are you telling us this?
Because they do the same thing and have
been doing the same thing.
From 1948.
1948, that means in four years it'll be
80 years, if my math is right.
In only four years, it will have been
80 years since the Nakba, and where you
have great grandmothers carrying their children, walking on
roads, not knowing where to go, not having
a home anymore.
And that's when they were migrating to Gaza.
Most people don't realize Gaza is mostly immigrants
from the Nakba.
Not immigrants, but non-Gazawis.
They moved from the greater part of Palestine,
and they all jammed either in the West
Bank or in Gaza.
In 1948.
Now they're moving somewhere else, and it's their
great-grandchildren who are moving.
So that baby in the Nakba pictures, why
don't you pull up some of those, Omar?
The baby in the Nakba pictures was the
grandmother of the people, of the adults today.
And that adult today, that grandchild, now has
a baby.
So how many generations are that now?
The Nakba.
Look at these pictures.
I'm looking at the computer here, Omar's going
to pull it up right now.
If you made this in color, you wouldn't
know what year we're in.
Put this picture, if this picture was in
color, you wouldn't know what year we're talking
about.
Is this today?
Is this 1948?
So we're 76 years later, the same thing
is happening.
But see that woman right there?
And then that child.
That child is the grandparent of the people
today.
So you've got one, two, three, four, five
generations.
And you have a woman today, you can
find the same picture, a woman today walking
with a baby.
And in between lived somebody who probably lived
through all the wars of the 60s and
the 70s.
Six-Day War, 1967, and then those changes
of those borders and lived through that misery.
Where they thought Arab nationalism may be the
solution.
And yes, Al-Arafat may do something.
That was the child of that child that
you see in this picture right here.
That's the third generation.
That woman who came about in the 70s
and the 80s now has a child and
that's the adult of today.
And that adult of today has a baby.
Five generations now have been facing this.
Fay says, are all dreams interpretable?
Yes, Allah doesn't send us anything without hikmah.
But we're talking about true dreams.
The dream that is just from your nafs.
You're hungry, so you witness, you dream of
food.
You haven't been able to do something for
a long time.
You dream of yourself doing it.
That's just your thoughts.
When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sends us
a dream, it's coded.
So that we know it's from him.
It's encrypted.
We then have to go to someone to
decode it for us.
It does have a meaning.
That doesn't necessitate that every interpreter will get
the meaning right.
It's like a fatwa.
Everything has an answer.
But we don't necessarily always get the answer
right.
So there could be partially correct interpretations, not
correct.
And also dreams may be, Allah knows, but
conditional too.
Like this is your future provided certain conditions
are observed.
So that's why we have to understand that
dreams are important, but they're also speculative in
nature.
How do you feel about the rise of
suicide amongst IDF?
Would we give dawah to an IDF soldier
if he's in our prison?
Yes.
If he's in our jails, yeah.
But when someone's trying to kill you, that
dawah is not the priority at that time.
Someone says, I'm not going to do actual
specific interpretations here because it's not the best
practice to do so.
I can just tell you some principles about
it.
And the most important principle is to understand
that it has a value, yet at the
same time has a limit so that you
don't go crazy.
What will be the role of Sayyidina Isa
when he returns?
He ends all this.
He ends this whole thing.
His relationship with the believers.
He is Nabi and he is Imam with
the Sharia of Muhammad ﷺ.
But he has, by green light of the
Prophet ﷺ, he will make one abrogation or
that he will simply not, he will not
act upon one thing by the green light
of the Messenger ﷺ, which is there will
be no more jizya.
He goes into a land, you enter Islam
or you, where else?
Will he still receive wahi?
Prophets are always receiving wahi from Allah ﷻ,
but he will not receive a new law,
nor a new book, nor a new form
of worship like that.
Those things are fixed.
And you start to have the feeling that,
subhanAllah, the arena for all of that is
Al-Quds, it's Jerusalem, it's Palestine.
That's the arena of all the Akhira Zaman.
Okay, here's a question.
I feel like a hypocrite and like I'm
in trouble with Allah as we're seeing our
brothers die and we can't even speak out
against leaders in fear of being deported.
That's why Allah ﷻ, His Messenger ﷺ, he
said, you change it with your hands.
If you cannot, then with your tongue.
If you cannot, then with your heart.
I can imagine people in corporate fields, they
can't say anything, can't post anything, just hate
it in your heart, talk about it in
your living room.
That's it.
When are we sinful?
If you have legal right to change something
with your hands, then you must do it.
You're obligated to do it.
If you don't, you're sinful.
If you have the knowledge, no legal right
to change it with hands, but you have
knowledge to speak, you have the ability to
speak, you have the luxury to speak your
mind.
Speak your mind.
If you don't have either of those, then
you change it, hate it in your heart.
My job is having a holiday potluck party
around Christmas time.
They know I'm Muslim, should I attend?
Can I go just to be present for
the sake of conversation and uniting with colleagues?
Is Christmas even a religious holiday anymore for
most people?
But I would just still say, you know,
bring your cupcakes a couple days before Christmas.
Share it with everyone.
Bring some brownies so that you sort of
get the social element and people don't feel
like you're just not part of the team.
But I don't know.
I don't even know if Christmas parties, are
they even called Christmas parties?
If it's very Christmassy, then no.
If it's just an end of the year
winter party, then there's no issue with that.
Omar, give me a question.
First of all, minor sins are removed solely
by good deeds.
Solely by good deeds.
It's major sins that require the intention to
repent, as well as repentance.
And repentance consists of regretting it, admitting that
was you, making istighfar, and intending not to
do it again.
Muslim lives their life constantly trying to repent
for minor sins, or their major sins, constantly
doing good deeds to wash away our minor
sins.
And if you avoid the major sins, your
minor sins, that you die with, before you
cleanse them out, inshallah they will be forgiven.
That is a hadith from the Prophet ﷺ.
Tasawwuf is the cleanliness of the heart, from
envy, filling it with remembrance of Allah Ta
'ala, removing arrogance from the heart, fighting the
heart, when you feel competitive in a bad
way with people.
There's competition, like for work, that's fine, but
the negative competition that destroys relationships, it's bringing
down our lustful desires by strengthening our remembrance
that Allah is watching.
A person has a lustful desire in his
body, but he remembers, Allah is watching me.
Right?
Now imagine a camera is right there, and
a human is watching you.
You wouldn't do certain things.
Imagine now, tell yourself, tell everybody, Allah on
your computer is all being hacked and watched,
so therefore be careful.
Right?
You'd be careful on the computer, imagine then
if Allah is watching you.
So, there's a saying that, what the Quran
would not remove, the Sultan would.
So meaning, some people, they don't have the
capacity to think about the unseen creator, but
they are going to be nervous around other
people.
All right, use that.
What's her name used to say to Lightning
McQueen?
You know?
What was her name?
Homer?
What was the woman's name?
Blue or yellow?
I can't remember.
The Spanish lady.
So, anyway, use that.
Use it to your advantage.
You know?
No, not her.
Yeah, I think her.
The trainer.
I think, I guess that's her.
Yeah.
Whoever her trainer was, she used to always
say, use that.
Right?
So that's what you have to do.
You have to psych yourself.
Allah is watching.
People are watching.
Your computer may be hacked.
Your computer may be compromised.
Who the heck knows?
So be careful.
If the fear of Allah doesn't register to
you, at least fear people.
There was a sheikh in Pakistan.
He used to say, they used to say,
MashaAllah, your students have taqwa.
They're very good.
What are your methods?
He said, my method is I tell them
to fear Allah.
If that doesn't work, I tell them to
fear me.
Right?
Of course, he's just being facetious.
What he means there is the sohbah.
At least when we're together, you're not going
to commit sins.
You're not going to do bad things.
Right?
In front of people.
Someone's asking, Sheikh, I committed shirk.
What are conditions for repentance?
Allah says, He forgives those who repent and
do good deeds.
What does it mean by good deeds here?
Is avoiding all sins a condition?
No.
Avoiding of never committing sins is not a
condition for you to be accepted, for your
taubah to be accepted.
Your condition is never to accept for yourself
and be complacent and accepting of your sinful
behavior.
Simultaneously, you must intend, you must intend never
to commit sins again.
Even if you know that you're weak.
And when you say I committed shirk, so
maybe you actually didn't commit shirk because that
word is being like spread around so much
and applies to things that are not always
shirk.
So, regardless, to be on the safe side,
you simply say, and I repent for what
I've done.
What would be an example of a Muslim
committing, actually committing shirk?
Well, let's say a guy is very close
to a Hindu.
And that is, for example, the Guyanese and
the Malays, Singaporeans, they're constantly intermarrying, sinfully, with
Hindus and Buddhists.
And then you end up getting involved, getting
involved in some kind of shirk, in her
church or her synagogue, or sorry, her temple,
even her church, right?
Or her temple.
And she says, come along, and you do
come along.
My mom and dad just go through the
motions with us.
You're not allowed to do that stuff.
Someone was asking.
Someone says, I'm in my 70s and I've
hardly done anything good.
Well, if you can make umrah or hajj
or give charity and begin making tawbah and
begin studying how to pray properly, how to
fast properly, and study what the sins are
so you can try to avoid them.
Any effort in Islam and try to help
people.
Why?
When you help people, they remember you in
their prayers.
You're going to need those.
If you're a guy in 70 and you
haven't done anything good.
I'm not answering the questions that are directly
the things that can be misconstrued or misunderstood
or lead to some kind of people really
getting riled up and that are like aqidah
litmus tests.
I'm not saying the questioners are saying that
but other people spread that around.
But I'm going to remind you guys Saturday
six o'clock.
This live stream will be on for the
gala that we got going on.
It's a giving gala for our soup kitchen.
So turn your notifications on.
Trading cryptocurrency.
We answered that saying that it is acceptable
to do according to many ulama.
And this question on if someone's possessed can
they go to Umrah?
Well, insofar as they're awake and capable then
yes, they can go to Umrah.
If they get sick there or get something
happen there that's out of their control.
I prayed dhuhr already.
I prayed dhuhr before the stream now because
of the time.
A friend of mine buys a lot of
Pokemon card.
Is it considered gambling or not?
Well, Pokemon by itself the card isn't gambling
but it is because it's just a card
and after childhood there's no excuse for wasting
money on toys.
It is a toy, right?
So Is wasting money a sin?
Wasting money is a sin?
What does a black heart in a dream
mean?
Allah knows best.
I don't know.
You have to look at the whole dream.
You can't just look at one thing.
How do you recommend one to do muraqabah?
Is sitting alone remember Allah a little bit
and think about your deeds and think about
Allah and imagine yourself sitting before the throne
of Allah.
The Saracen says it's un segundo not uno
segundo.
Really?
But it doesn't have a nice ring to
it as much.
Is it?
Could you double check?
He didn't provide any dalil.
Except that he has a Spanish name.
Is it because there's two seconds?
I can't have two seconds.
Un segundo so am I doing ikhfah?
Un segundo?
I need to do ikhfah.
If it's un segundo I need to do
ikhfah here.
Because the noon meeting the seen.
Noon second a meeting seen is ikhfah.
Since shaving the mustache is haram in the
Maliki method buzzing to stubble it is also
makrooh.
What about the ruling of letting the mustache
grow past the upper lip?
That's haram too.
But if a person doesn't grow a mustache
and it's very fuzzy then he can shave
it.
It's not yet a mustache.
Dukhufs commonly found from overseas meet the criterion
for wiping.
They say that if the khuf is from
a Muslim country you can assume that it's
dhabihah because they require that in the Maliki
school.
That it's dhabihah.
What was your favorite surah in the Quran?
It has to be surat ash-sharh because
that's what gets you out of trouble.
You're in a hardship Allah remind you this
is going to lead you to ease.
Muslim never suffers evil.
This evil is pain suffered with no benefit.
Every pain suffered by a mu'min will lead
to his benefit.
It will lead to betterment.
It will lead to more pleasure.
Dunya or akhirah.
So a Muslim doesn't suffer evil.
And given that bad things when they happen
they're not evil.
What am I upset about?
I'm in pain, yes.
But I'm not upset.
I'm not.
Yes, I may be sad by something but
spiritually distraught and I don't know what's going
on and having a crisis.
The person who did it may be evil
and I have to take care of them.
No problem.
That's all we understand that.
But me within myself as a Muslim when
we suffer pain in ourselves evil is not
the analysis of it.
It's not evil.
You will benefit from this.
This is for you not against you.
Particularly if you're an obedient servant of Allah.
If you're not an obedient servant of Allah
it may be your punishment now before the
hereafter.
Hopefully it inspires you to get better.
You mean a guy who's a Muslim who
drinks and drinks and drinks and one day
he has a car accident and totally destroys
his body.
That is you would rather that punishment here
in this world than in the hereafter.
You don't want to meet the Zabaniyya.
You don't even want the punishment of the
grave.
You don't want to see the punishment on
the resurrection day or in Jahannam.
On the day of resurrection.
You don't want to see any of that.
When you do see those things and you
find yourself exempt from those things sidestepping all
that and you ask oh how did I
get how did I not suffer all this?
Yeah because of that accident you suffered there.
You will be far happier.
That's the analysis of every Muslim.
We also have the worldly analysis.
You did this to yourself.
Or it could be you are totally innocent
and it happens to you.
So there's two analysis.
There's the analysis of how I handle pain
and there's a social analysis.
We got to change society.
We got to go get justice.
That's a social analysis there.
I translate.
I'm a local Muslim in Jacksonville.
I'm a Guatemalan brother.
If sheikh needs help, contact me.
He translates.
He speaks Spanish.
He translates.
All right, Jose Garcia.
It looks like it's good evidence, right?
That he actually is what he's saying to
be.
So you judge between me and Saraceno.
Is it uno segundo or is it un
segundo?
We need the judgment.
Al qawlul fasl.
It's un segundo.
I've been saying it wrong for years now.
I verify this.
I'm Guatemalan.
Being Guatemalan is my delil.
But is that one of the qira'ah?
Ahroof?
Are there ahroof in this thing?
I need to know if there are ahroof.
Are there dialects?
But I guess we got to submit to
the truth.
It's un segundo.
How about Dominican-Ecuadorian dialects?
Because that's who we live with here.
The Bronx is all Dominican.
Here it's Ecuador and Honduras and Mexico.
Well, Jose Garcia said that's it.
There's no...
There's no ahroof on this subject.
It's un segundo.
Okay.
Adam says it's selling tobacco products and vapes
halal or haram.
Maliki, we say haram.
Jay Perez says it's un, so therefore we're
getting almost tawatur here.
Office Siren says, can we make the intention
for making up a Ramadan fast as soon
as we wake up?
No, you have to make the intention before
fajr.
Any time before fajr.
Okay.
Comes in, before fajr comes in.
I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Urdu.
Any recommendations to what language should be learned
after that?
Well, it depends what field you want to
go into.
Mandarin?
Spanish?
Who is going to win?
Beardabev or Bevo?
I don't know any of that.
All I know is Mike Tyson is fighting.
Despite that, that's something unlawful for us to
do.
I'm still rooting for Mike Tyson.
Why is it haram for a Muslim woman
to marry a Kitabi man but the opposite?
It's because number one, it's just nas.
No rule is given.
But there is a wisdom which is essentially
that in general, in most cases, the wife
and children will follow the husband.
The Sharia is not made for 21st century
Northeastern California where that's not the case, where
they're like even.
Or even the woman may dominate.
That's an exception to the law of human
civilization and human behavior.
The dominant understanding is that the male will
lead and his wife and children will follow.
As a result of that, that's the wisdom,
perhaps, speculative illa, not an explicit illa, that
a man can marry a Jewish and Christian
woman but vice versa cannot happen.
To what extent should a Muslim investigate if
food is halal?
Well, the best investigation is to see what
the community that already lives there that have
beaten you to that restaurant are saying because
they probably investigated already.
Ladies and gentlemen, a lot of aura to
choose from.
Yeah, just go to safinasade.org and recite.
And you can recite either one of those
morning or evening.
It doesn't matter.
They're interchangeable.
Someone's been asking this.
So he's saying, what are the rulings slash
restrictions of * in Islam?
The rulings and restrictions of * in Islam,
it can not be between husband and wife.
That is the prohibition.
What is the recommendation?
قَدِّمُوا لِأَنفُسِكُمْ There should be something of preceding
it because otherwise it can be painful and
the body is not ready for this experience.
So Allah says, prepare for yourselves.
That means there should be something.
You don't turn the lights on right away,
right?
You go slowly and gradually until the bodies,
both bodies are ready for the consummation of
the act.
Are the fluids najasa for the malikiya?
Is what?
The fluid, like, is it najasa for the
malikiya?
Yes.
A woman's rights as a Muslimah would not
be upheld.
Correct.
The Jewish and Christian man has nothing in
his sacred law obligating him to cater to
the Muslim woman and her religion.
The Muslim man's sacred law does have an
obligation, does obligate him to cater a room
for his wife's worship.
And we don't recognize anything else besides sacred
law.
Nothing truly binds a person to behave a
certain way except a sacred law, something they
view as sacred, where there is going to
be reward and punishment in the afterlife for
it.
So someone says, OK, well, what if I
agree to allow my wife?
An atheist says, I agree to let my
wife, or a Christian guy, I'll agree to
give my wife a room.
And she can even raise our kids as
Muslim.
Well, what's the basis of your agreement?
Your own self.
Your own whim.
Right, so we require a sacred law.
And their law doesn't tell us, doesn't tell
them to cater to any other religion.
At what age is a man obligated to
pay zakah?
OK, this is good.
Good question.
Zakah is not an obligation on a person.
It's obligatory on the money.
So even if the kid is one day
old, and he inherited something from his parents
who died the day before, the obligation is
on the money.
And the person who manages the money.
So what that person should invest the money
for that child so that the zakah doesn't
eat away at it.
That's Sayyidna Umar's advice.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've gone deep because we
had a choppy beginning.
And we had a very good stream with
a lot of Q&A.
Jazakum Allah Khayran everybody.
Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdik.
Nashhadu an la ilaha illa anta.
Nastaghfiruk wa natubu ilayk wa al-asr.
Inna al-insana la fee khusr.
Illa al-lazeena amanu wa aminu as-salihat.
Wa tawasu bil-haq.
Wa tawasu bil-sabr.
Wassalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.
Wassalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.
