In the
name of Allah, the most gracious, the most
merciful.
In the name of Allah, the most gracious,
the most merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, and peace
and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah,
and upon his family and companions.
Welcome everybody to the Sufyan Saadi, nothing but
facts live stream on a sunny yet very
cold, what are we, Tuesday in the month
of January.
After a beautiful snow day, which we had
yesterday, and the kids didn't have school, and
we had a nice snow day.
We had about four inches of snow on
the ground, which is always fun to have.
Snow is just such a, definitely by far
my favorite creation in nature, has got to
be the snow.
And it's because you have the snow, that
when the spring comes around, and you have
these really cold days, when the spring comes
around, it has value.
Otherwise it has no value, right?
I remember Sidi Oussama Khan, I used to
say, man, how's it out there in California?
You guys are lucky.
He's like, lucky for what?
Every day is the same exact day as
the previous day.
Every day, 70 degrees and sunny.
So they get bored of it, and that
is something to think about in terms of
the khalq of Allah Ta'ala.
People get bored, even the best thing, you
get bored of it.
And that's why change is always happening, and
why people even get bored of the deen.
Ibn Ata'illah Al-Iskandari says, لما عارف
الله من الملل نوع العبادات That Allah knows
that humans get bored, so he altered and
he changed the acts of worship.
And that's why it's so, so important to
be involved in many different things.
If you're on one track and you're only
doing one thing, you expose yourself to possibly
one day just sort of getting tired of
it.
It loses its taste, it loses its flavor.
You don't ever want that to happen.
Someone suggested today, how about we do a
tafsir of Surah Luqman?
طيب أهلا و مرحبا We're doing tafsir in
order from the reverse, but if there's a
thirst to learn about Sayyidina Luqman and his
tafsir, which they always teach in Islamic high
schools, because it has about the parents and
advice and how the kids should be good
and everything.
So important, بِرُوا الوَلَدَيْن بِرُوا الوَلَدَيْن is so
important for upright society.
Firstly, more important than that is having والدين
in the first place.
If your community doesn't get married anymore, you
will not have a community, just mathematically speaking.
You simply will not have a community at
all.
Okay, what is the Holy Spirit in our
chat room talking?
Saying what?
Okay, she wants us to become Christians.
Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, sign education by Suzel.
So what Holy Spirit does she want us
to...
We believe in the Holy Spirit more than
her.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
الروح القدس is Jibreel.
الروح القدس in the Quran, how is Sayyidina
Jibreel?
Right, you know that?
الروح القدس is Jibreel.
So their trinity should be Allah sends the
message through Jibreel to Prophet Isa.
That's the trinity, but it's not a trinity
of gods.
There's one God in there, and there's an
angel, and there's a prophet.
Two created beings.
Today we're going to read about Sayyidina Luqman.
And we're going to read this tafsir from
Sayyidina al-Imam al-Baghawi.
That is our go-to tafsir.
It would be wonderful if someone one day
could do a massive epic project of translating.
I guess you translate it surah by surah.
It's very hard to translate these days things.
What were we saying before I got interrupted
by Mrs. Holy Spirit?
Come on Holy Spirit, you're interrupting our live
stream.
You're unholy.
You're interrupting our live stream.
Anyway, she's been suspended for what, five minutes
or 24 hours?
What did you do?
What did you send her to the box
for?
Let's unhide her.
Unhide her, let's see what she has to
say.
Holy Spirit, speaketh.
It's very important not to get bored.
And therefore you have to have a variety
in life.
Even in life and religion.
In life and religion you have to have
variety.
Some people, they have a blessing.
They're just stoic in the sense they just
can do the same thing without ever getting
bored.
Other people, they have to negotiate a little
bit.
It really depends probably how your mom raised
you and your dad and your environment and
everything.
But on one hand, you have to take
into account people's boredom.
On the other hand, boredom is not an
excuse in certain things.
You're not going to succeed in life if
you succumb to boredom all the time and
you just allow yourself to get bored.
You can't get bored of good things, but
you can take breaks.
So everyone, I think the healthy balance is
you need a variety, but you have to
have the quality of consistency.
And if you're consistent with something, you keep
hitting the same well, over the years you
will get to the bottom of the well.
You will get water.
You will, digging for water, you will get
it over the years.
So that's where boredom, you have to think
about it in that way.
And in a sense, sometimes boredom tells you,
I reached my capacity in this.
I want to do something else.
That's fine.
So you take a break.
Ibn Atta is telling us this.
You take a break.
Do something else.
Same thing in uloom.
You're studying a lot of fiqh.
Fiqh takes a lot of time.
But if you ever get tired, go do
tasawwuf.
Completely different flavor.
A little bit tired of that, you're tired
of that, do something else.
And Allah gave us family, who we don't
choose.
Because family is one of the best ways
to actually change that.
Because A, number one, you're forced to be
with them.
B, they're not your people, your selection.
So they're going to bring you something totally
different.
Because every family member is different.
They're not cut and paste.
Like all my friends, you could probably say,
they all share the same qualities.
Otherwise I wouldn't choose them as my friends.
But your family is different.
And so family will break up your boredom.
They'll make you appreciate what you love more.
Because they'll take you into a world that's
their world.
Especially little kids.
Little kids are amazing, because they don't know
your world.
You can't even explain them your world.
You have to live in their world.
You have to live in their world.
And it's almost like Allah taking you, putting
you in another world, so that you could
go back refreshed.
For a little boy, for example, his world
are his cars.
His little toy cars.
That's his world.
Like literally there's nothing greater at this moment
on the face of the earth for that
little boy, than to get a new car.
You tell him that's really not a big
deal.
He won't even understand.
It's a ni'mah.
It's a ni'mah.
Sayyidina Luqman, peace be upon him, surah Luqman.
Number one, it's a Meccan surah.
And it's 34 ayahs.
Okay.
So if you recite it with It's a
mubtada.
If you recite it, it's the state of
the book.
The description or the state of the book.
How is the book giving us wisdom?
It's a maf'ool.
Huda is guidance and rahma is mercy, of
course.
I forgot to tell you guys.
Yes, what I was talking about was.
Sorry to interrupt.
I hate to break the chain of thought.
But we're talking about is a foundation of
society.
After nikah, having walidin in the first place.
Okay.
After nikah, it's been walidin.
It's a continuity.
The existence of society is through marriage.
You don't marry.
You don't have kids.
You don't have a community.
But the continuity of society is through the
transfer of religion and other values from generation
to generation.
And that only occurs by birul walidin.
Okay.
And this surah, birul walidin is like goodness
to parents.
And this surah is all about that.
And parents also need to learn how to
raise kids too.
Because not everybody.
It's very obvious.
Many people don't know how to raise kids.
You see the kids.
That's the result.
Right.
If your company is in the negative all
the time, you don't know how to run
a company.
If your kids are bad all the time,
you don't know how to.
One kid, fine.
Like one product failed.
Five products are good.
You know how to run a company.
But you have five products.
Five fails.
You don't know how to run.
It's the parent at that point.
Okay.
Let's continue.
Allatheen yuqeemun al-salah.
The description of al-muhsineen.
They establish salah.
They give zakah.
yu'toon al-zakah.
hum bil-akhiratihum yuqeenun.
They have absolute certainty in the akhira.
ulayka ala hudan.
Such people, they are upon guidance from their
lord.
And they are successful.
So therefore, certainty in afterlife is increased by
acts of worship.
If you look at the order here, and
this description uses waw.
The atf, harf al-atfi here is waw.
yuqeemun al-salah.
wa yu'toon al-zakah.
wahum bil-akhiratihum yuqeenun.
So therefore, when the harf al-atfi is
waw, you're adding something by using the word
wa.
The harf wa.
It does not necessitate order.
So you can interpret it with and without
the order.
So I can say, while salah and zakah
cannot exist without belief in akhira in the
first place.
And it won't even be valid if I
don't believe in the akhira.
If I am a Muslim praying and fasting,
and a Muslim says, I pray and fast,
but I'm like 50-50 on afterlife.
We say, don't bother praying or fasting.
Because it's not all valid.
You're just exhausting yourself for no reason.
So on one hand, belief in akhira is
a criterion.
So it must precede praying and fasting and
giving zakah and all these other acts of
worship.
But someone may be certain, but their certainty
is weak.
You must be certain.
That you must have absolute 100% belief
that akhira is true.
But you may be weak.
So what's going to strengthen that?
Salah and zakah.
And that is a summary for the ibadahs
that relate to Allah directly.
And the ibadahs that relate to other people.
There are good deeds you could do towards
other people.
And there's worship you do directly to Allah.
Salah and zakah are the greatest of the
two.
But they're also symbols of the two.
If your iman is weak, do a lot
of remembrance.
Do a lot of ibadah.
Give sadaq.
Allah Ta'ala will increase your iman.
So that's maybe one wajh, one perspective on
why akhira is mentioned at the end.
Salah, zakah, akhira.
It's because it will strengthen you.
But in terms of validity, belief in akhira
has to come first.
Otherwise, your iman is invalid.
You cannot say I believe in part of
the book and not other parts.
It's a package.
This messenger from God has come.
You have to accept everything from him.
If you go to the court of law,
and the prosecutor says, here's my witness.
And the defense says, we accept this witness.
So therefore, everything this witness says is admissible.
Right?
Whereas a prosecutor says, here's my witness.
The defense says, no, this witness is a
liar.
Don't listen to anything he has to say.
It's different then, right?
But if we both agree, this is a
witness that is a valid witness, then you
have to accept everything.
You can't accept what you want and leave
what you want.
And it says here, olaika hum al-muflihoon.
Mutlaq al-falah.
They will be successful in the dunya.
They will be successful in the akhira.
People who pray and give their charity, that's,
if we want to look at it just
from the worldly perspective, they're not attached to
their dunya to the sufficient degree.
What is the sufficient degree that Allah wants
you to be detached from the dunya?
That you would give your zakah?
You do your obligations.
Right?
You do your zakah, nobody could say, you
do your zakah and your earning is halal.
Nobody could say you love money in a
way that is harmful to you.
Why?
Why is it harmful?
What am I losing?
Have I committing sins by this?
No.
Am I avoiding my zakah?
No.
Somebody could say, your love of money is
excessive, that it's decreasing, it's taking away from
your rank in Jannah.
Maybe you could say that.
If he's leaving off sunan or nawafil for
the sake of his faloos.
Okay, so he will have falah, success, in
dunya and akhira.
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهُوَ الْحَدِيثِ Here we
go.
And he says, there are some people, they
utilize something called lahwal hadith, which we're going
to discuss right here.
لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا
And they will have a painful torment.
Through lahwal hadith, which we're going to define
right here, they lead people astray, unknowingly, and
then they make fun of this.
So what does that mean?
How are they making fun of something they
don't know?
The answer to that, one of the answers
to that is, they don't know how huge
the war they just waged is against Allah.
That's one of the meanings of they disobey,
they fight against Allah, they disobey against Allah,
without knowledge, بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ But how is it
بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ when he knows what he's doing?
وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا He takes it lightly.
He takes it lightly, that means he knows
what he's taking lightly.
So the answer to that, some ulama say,
they don't know the magnitude of the punishment
that they're earning by this.
قَالَ الْكَلْبِ وَمُقَاتِلْ
قَالَ
الْكَلْبِ
وَمُقَاتِلْ
فَإِسْتَمْنِحُونَ حَدِيثَهُ وَيَتُرُكُونَ إِسْتِمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ So this comes
in.
النظر ابن الحارث And he used to go
to Quraysh, to the people in Mecca.
And he's saying, Muhammad is telling you all
this information about what happened to past tribes.
That's in the past.
It's irrelevant.
I have news.
This is what's going on in Persia.
This is what's going on in Byzantium.
This is the news of the day.
And how similar is this to people's reaction
today between current affairs and sacred text?
Current affairs, everyone wants to hear it.
Why?
Because they hold it to be relevant to
their world right now.
And sacred text, people, you say, I have
an announcement today, we're going to talk about
sacred text, Qur'an, for example.
It's not going to move the needle.
Right?
It's not going to move the needle.
But say, no, today's live stream is about
what's happening in the West Bank today.
Israel's, you know, Israel's peace treaty, or what's
it called, ceasefire, was, and you wonder, why
would they do this?
Now we know.
Because they're going to the West Bank.
Right?
And so today we're going to talk about
current events and why Israel's going to the
West Bank.
All right?
It has value.
No one denies that this, that current events
has value.
To know what's happening in this Hayat al
-Dunya.
But what if someone told you this is
merely a petri dish?
You're in the, you're in a transit in
the airport.
What's, what's happening in the airport is relevant
to you.
There is some relevance, they're closing the Dunkin'
Donuts, they're opening a pizzeria there.
Right?
The little currency exchange is moving from here
to there.
There's some importance to you.
But if you're going, traveling to a city,
a destination, isn't that more important to you?
It's more important, but people who have never
been to some place, they've never experienced it,
they can't really, it's taken on trust.
So what's happening in the world today, we
see it with our own eyes, so we
tend to believe it's more important than it
actually is.
What's going to happen when you die, and
when you go to the afterlife, we only
take it on trust of someone who's been
there, which is the Prophet ﷺ, in the
Isra' and Maraj, has been there, and came
back to tell us.
So it's taken on trust.
Something you take on trust, you tend not
to weigh it at the same weight as
something you see with your own two eyes.
Demonstrable information, transmitted information.
I should say transmitted, demonstrable information tends to
be heavier than transmitted information.
We treat it with more importance.
So any news of this Hayat al-Dunya
that we're living in, people will always elevate
it above news about the next life.
Even Muslims.
Preparation for the next life.
All right, let's do a live stream on
preparing for the oncoming storm that's coming, or
the incoming storm that's coming.
All right, everyone's going to pay attention.
The storm is going to affect you for
two days.
Let's have a live stream on what's going
to happen when you die and go to
the grave.
Next video.
Unless somebody is spiritually trained.
Spiritually trained means they understand the Akhirah, and
they have been trained to always keep their
mind on the Akhirah.
That's a very high level.
Takes a lot of training.
Takes a lot of tazkir.
And that's what another did here, Ibn al
-Harith.
Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab had different philosophies.
Abu Lahab would go to people and say,
stop listening to Muhammad.
Abu Lahab, he was not that bright.
Because when you speak negatively about someone, you're
still increasing their attention.
So Abu Jahl sat around looking, and he
realized, Subhanallah, Abu Lahab, your technique is the
worst.
You're making things worse.
Now people think about Muhammad even more.
Because whether they like him or hate him,
they think he's important.
Because you keep talking about him.
That's why negative press is wonderful.
People think it hurts.
Yeah, it hurts.
But it's wonderful.
It's good for you.
Islam got more negative press since 9-11
than any other religion.
And where is it today?
It's doing just fine.
It's far superior today in the United States
of America, in the heartland where 9-11
happened, than it was on September 10, 2001.
When you could probably go to a person
on the street and he would not know
the difference between Islam and anything else.
But today everyone knows about it.
So where is the negative press?
Yeah, you have far worse enemies, but that's
the cost of becoming exposed or being a
parent.
Exposure.
The cost of exposure.
You can't not get the benefits of exposure
without the harms of exposure.
Right?
You can't get the benefits without the harms
of anything.
So you want hundreds of millions of people
to know about you and like you and
like your faith and religion and believe in
Islam.
You're also going to get hundreds of millions
of people to hate you.
You cannot ever get all the likes with
no dislikes.
That equation does not exist.
Show me a company that has income and
no expenses.
There's no such thing.
The more you have income, the more you
have expenses.
There's no other way around it.
I want the income without the expenses.
Of course you're going to get laughed at
at business school.
Right?
You're going to get laughed at.
So Abu Jahl, he came in and he
says, I have a better idea.
A better idea.
Let's not tell the people, stop thinking about
Muhammad.
Because now you're just increasing people thinking about
Muhammad.
Every time Muhammad comes and speaks, let's set
up a rival halaqa.
And let's get somebody, basically CNN.
Who's the CNN of the day to tell
us all the news?
Twitter account, basically.
Al-Nadr ibn al-Hadith.
Why?
Because he travels far and wide and he
goes out to the scouts and he gets
news.
He was one of the first news agencies
of that time.
Al-Nadr ibn al-Hadith.
And his news agency, basically, he used to
be a merchant.
Always trading back and forth.
And he used to go and pay people
to sit down and tell him the news.
Tell us what's going on in Persia.
People love the news.
Right?
They like to see someone else suffering and
winning and doing all these things while they
sit at home, comfortable.
People love the news.
So then, they said, alright, every time the
prophet's telling about the Quran or speaking about
Allah, you go, start your halaqa and start
CNN.
Start your Twitter feed.
Which is basically, this is what's going on
to Rostam and this is what's going on
to the Kisra and this is what's going
on with the Byzantines and this king is
up and this queen is down, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Qisas, news.
If people took in the Quran as much
as they take in the news, imagine how
their life and afterlife would be.
And I really want to genuinely ask, sometimes,
I know that it's bad to not know
what's going on.
It seems like it's a negative.
But at the end of someone's life, I
really wonder how much, how many people have
said, you know, the best thing I did
in my life, I kept up to date.
Right?
And I would like to see how many
Huffaz of Quran or people of Deen say,
at the end of their life, the best
thing I did was I didn't waste my
time and I memorized the Quran or I
recited Quran or I studied Hadith.
I would guarantee you, 100% of the
people who devoted their life to Deen will
say that.
And I would say 0-2% of
the people who devoted their life to the
news and to the happenings will say, the
best thing I did was stay up to
date.
I guarantee you.
But the prophets I sent have warned us,
what's really beneficial to you is surrounded by
hardship.
What's not is surrounded by ease.
It's just so easy to sit and scroll
and then it's important to know these things.
So, that's what Nadir Ibn Al-Harith is
saying here.
So Allah says, يشتري له الحديث Now, what's
happening in Persia is not relevant to a...
90% of the time was not relevant
to a Meccan.
The only piece of news that we care
about in Persia is someone coming to barter
and trade with us and are they coming
to conquer us?
Otherwise, day to day, what's happening in Mecca
and what's happening in Persia is two separate
worlds, nobody cares.
Just like if I was to sell you
and I open a live stream, what's happening
in Shanghai?
Shanghai is a big city.
Shanghai is an important city.
But every single day, you live in your
life with absolute 100% ignorance of what's
happening in Shanghai.
We don't know anything except the name of
the city.
Has life changed?
Did we lose anything?
Did we gain anything?
So, what's happening in Shanghai to somebody like
me or you guys or most people on
the stream is absolutely irrelevant.
علم لا ينفع و جهنم لا يضر It's
knowledge.
The Prophet ﷺ described certain information as knowledge
that doesn't benefit and harm that doesn't hurt.
Did you ever suffer any financial loss or
loss of reputation or loss of relationship for
being ignorant about what's happening in the economy
of Shanghai and the politics of Shanghai?
The answer is no.
So, your busyness with that can be classified
as لهو الحديث.
لهو الحديث.
حديث that has no benefit to you.
There's not even a secondary benefit to you
because there is a definition some would say
of لعب لهو Some scholars define the difference
between play and amusement.
Play has a secondary benefit.
If I spent all day playing basketball stop
for Salah stop for important things and go
back to playing basketball.
So, I spent my day in what's called
لعب.
Why?
Because there is a secondary benefit to basketball.
Which is what?
My heart benefited.
Right?
My heart went up.
I breathed stronger.
My legs benefited.
My blood flow benefited.
I made some friends.
So, اللعب is that which in itself is
باطل.
باطل means it has absolute zero value in
the world.
Putting a ball in a bucket has no
value in itself.
Intrinsically has no value.
But there's a secondary value.
Exercise.
Made friends.
Right?
I play basketball all day.
That means I didn't do sins all day.
Right?
I was with good people.
So, that's secondary benefits to something باطل.
باطل is not always sinful by the way.
باطل just means intrinsically useless.
It is intrinsically useless.
We all agree.
Putting a ball in a hoop.
But what you do around it that's what
can be good or bad.
Gambling over it.
حرام Watching it.
A little bit is okay.
Playing it.
Within reason has secondary benefits.
But لهو is that amusement that has no
benefit at all.
Probably I would say watching a little bit
more than because we say our Shaykh taught
us يسير لهوي حلال Shaykh Mahmoud Shabib يسير
لهوي حلال A little bit of لهو at
the end of the day is حلال.
To unwind yourself.
A little bit.
5, 20, 30 minutes.
Maybe an hour at the end of the
day.
An hour is 1 24th of your day.
And you're only awake for subtract 8 out
of that.
What's the math?
16.
Huh?
Two thirds of the day.
So, that's 16 hours.
Right?
So, one hour out of 16 is one
out of 16.
Right?
So, at that point there is a point
where لهو becomes مقروح.
So, لهو for example I remember there was
a board game when I was young that
we bought.
And essentially it really ended up coming down
to who rolls the dice and gets more
on the dice.
I'm like, what kind of dumb game is
this?
Right?
It's 100% chance.
There's not even brains involved.
Like Scrabble has chance and brains.
Scrabble you pull out the 7 letters and
you try to make a word.
Right?
There's chance and there's some brains involved.
But this thing it's 100% chance.
A game of chance.
It's like completely لهو.
There's no secondary benefit to this even.
Games of chance and bet.
Anything that is involved in gambling.
Gambling.
Anything that people gamble with.
When it's done in a halal way without
gambling I would say.
We should put it as gambling.
Then it's different upon.
Ulema it's different.
Between halal, makrooh and haram.
Risalah Ibn Abi Zayy talks about اللعب بالنرط
being haram.
اللعب بالنرط being haram.
Why?
Because it's what people gamble with.
So you basically Sharia does not want you
to be good at games that other people
use in gambling.
Like blackjack.
Or whatever people gamble with.
These games that people and you see in
James Bond and Las Vegas that they gamble
with.
Don't even do it without money.
Because if you get good at it it's
a very one day well let me just
make some money off it.
Right?
I'm taking the money from the kuffar.
Right?
You know that kind of fiqh.
Right?
Take the money from the kuffar.
Right?
Exactly.
All right.
So they differed upon such games.
Baghdad Rida says chess chess is differed upon
because A.
The game is long.
When you're good.
When you're not good the game is short.
And the game could be made shorter with
those timers.
But chess they used to say that it
judges it's a good judge of mental capacity.
So some ulema liked it.
It's good exercise for your brain.
And some ulema didn't like it.
And forbade it.
Now what would they say about video games?
It's so funny that people talk is chess
halal or haram?
Hold on a minute.
It's video games.
Forget chess.
Who plays chess?
But chess you download it when you're depressed.
If I find chess.com that little green
app on your phone I know you're in
depression.
Who plays this sport this game anymore?
Unless you're depressed.
Right?
I got nothing to do.
If you download the chess app.
Right?
Video games is what we should be talking
about.
And I didn't really I've never tolerated video
games.
I don't know who you know a lot
of people everyone plays video games.
But I never tolerate I despise it.
Because I feel it's completely a vapid waste
of time.
Right?
And some people try to make the argument
that it's really good for the brain.
What's going on?
Yeah.
And then they say what's haram to do
in life is haram to do in the
video game.
Is that true or false?
Allah knows best.
But you know, they say that.
Is it?
I don't know.
He what the ruling is on that.
Yeah.
Grand theft auto.
And I forget killing has *.
Doesn't it have *?
Really?
See, I wouldn't know.
But I remember reading an article that there's
like * involved in that.
What is that?
What's the business of that in the video
game?
Anyway.
I'm not a fan of video games.
I have to tell you.
I think it's I'm not going to give
rulings on it.
Because but what about lehu?
What level of lehu becomes makruh or what
level becomes haram?
In any event.
So purpose being and Habib Omar is very,
very he says subhanallah he says that we
are being duped every day.
Every day.
They attract us to something of this life
that has no actual fruit that will be
reaped in the next life.
Every second of that you're being duped.
You're being duped.
If I'm telling you there's a guarantee.
If I take you back to 1980.
I said, listen, there's a guy this geek
over here with blonde hair and glasses.
He's about to open a company called Microsoft.
Trust me, I'm from the future.
You do not want to spare a single
penny except buy stock at Microsoft.
Okay?
Anyone who tells you otherwise no, buy stock
in this company.
Buy stock in that.
He's duping you.
Right?
There's another guy kind of come from the
future called Iblis.
He doesn't want you to be rich.
He wants you to be poor.
So he said, invest in Atari.
You guys remember Atari?
Old pixelated video games.
Out of business.
Invest in whatever.
All sorts of companies.
Invest in Kodak.
Kodak's pretty much out of business.
Right?
All these out of business things.
He's duping you.
And I'm telling you.
I'm going to have one line.
I have no other discussion.
If you are not putting your company in
one of two companies that are going to
come in a few years.
Apple and Microsoft.
You're a fool.
You are being duped.
This is what Habib Omar is saying in
one of his latest.
You are being duped for every second of
your life that you're not spending, investing in
what is eternal.
It's true.
Being duped.
You got to go, Uga.
All right.
Take care.
Now what else?
They advanced.
They started to do instruments and music with
the sole intent to take people away from
Muhammad.
You see?
All right.
To take people away from Sayyid al-Kawnayn.
So the ulema said it's all of the
things that distract people.
That distract people.
Abu Ishaq al-Tha'labi.
Abu Tahir Muhammad ibn al-Fadl.
Ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq.
Hadathana Jaddi Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Khuzayma.
Ali ibn Hujr.
Mish'al ibn Malhan al-Ta'i.
Mutarrah ibn Yazid.
Ubaidullah ibn Zajr.
Ali ibn Yazid.
Al-Qasim ibn Abdulaziz.
Abu Umamah Taqala.
Rasulullah ﷺ said, It is not permissible to
teach the singers nor to sell them.
And their wealth is haram.
So servants whose sole job is singing.
It's different from a servant.
You go to the slave market back in
the old days.
Just singing is all she does.
Versus a slave girl who serves and buys
and sells or works but also sings.
Difference.
وَفِي مِثْلِ هَذَا أُنزِلَتْ لَا لَهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْرِي لَهُ وَالْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّنَا سِبِيلِ
اللَّهِ وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَرْفَعُ سَوْتَهُ بِالْغِنَاءِ إِلَّا
بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْطَانَيْنَ أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَنْكِبِ
وَالْآخَرَ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَنْكِبِ And no man gets
up to sing.
He's got two devils.
لَيَزَالُونَ يَضْرِبَانِهِ بِأَرْجُلِهِمَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَسْكُتْ
And they keep kicking him.
The thing is that here is as in
Surah Al-Shu'ara the singing or the
Lahu that is a distraction from other than
Allah.
As for that which is calling to the
remembrance of Allah for that's permitted whether it
be singing or poetry.
By the way, Omar, why don't you contact
right now Waqqas and he'll send you a
bunch of photos so you don't have to
do this anymore.
Yeah.
Okay.
We stop here, take Q&A but that's
the discussion on Lahu Al-Hadith.
نَهَى صلى الله عليه وسلم عَن ثَمَنَ الْكَلْبِ
وَكَسْبِ الزُّمَّارَةِ The Prophet forbade making money off
of dogs or instruments.
What you can make money off of is
the effort that you took to train the
dog.
But dogs in the Sharia are not they're
meant to be free.
They're not meant to be bought and owned
and controlled.
However, you can benefit from a dog as
a shepherd dog but he's not an item
to be bought and sold.
Even today, they never say the cost of
the dog.
They could say the adoption fee.
One of the reasons for the prohibition of
having a dog as a pet is that
the dog is meant to live freely.
To trap a dog is forbidden for you
to do.
What if the dog doesn't want to live
in your house and be stuck in your
house?
How is that permitted for you to do?
Actually, trapping a cat is Makrooh too.
You know that?
Who allowed you to trap a cat like
this?
You know that?
Many people don't know that.
And if the harm is light then it's
Makrooh.
Why isn't the Wi-Fi working on this?
Did we change our Wi-Fi or something?
We have a new Wi-Fi?
What is it?
Here, can you just do this while I
take the next...
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
We didn't take Q&A for a while
so we're going to take a little bit
of Q&A and then we're going to
move on to...
We'll be wrapping up by 3.30. For
the cat, I mean...
It's Makrooh if there's a harm in it.
Generally, cats are meant to be free.
Interact with other cats, catch squirrels.
How do you know what the cat wants
to do and doesn't want to do?
So generally speaking.
But it's not sinful if you have a
cat and so many people own cats that
are scholars who know the rules of these
things.
Not an issue.
Not as much as the dog.
The dog is for other issues too forbidden
to have in the house.
All right, let's go to the Q&A.
What do you all have as a Q
&A?
Singing the praise of one's country permissible.
Permitted.
Not going to be forbidden or lawful.
Can a woman...
Traveling for a woman should be with a
mahram.
With a mahram.
Okay?
Traveling should be with a mahram.
To not have any mahram at all if
there's a need.
That's it.
Like a need.
My grandfather's funeral or something like that.
I haven't prayed Salah for two days.
I don't know the reason and I feel
horrible.
Any advice?
Yes, get up right now and pray Salah.
Pray what you owe or what is currently
now an obligation which is Salatul Asr.
If you're in the eastern time zone.
But get up and make one Salah.
That's it.
Just get up and make one Salah.
Let the momentum develop a little bit.
And then you will make up your old
Salahs.
Okay?
Does a baby have to pay zakah?
Alright, that's a good question.
So the answer is that zakah is an
obligation on the wealth.
So whether or not that person is insane,
a baby, an adult, sound, etc.
So if you have a situation in which
a baby inherits wealth, of course it happens
all the time.
Parent dies.
Inheritance is distributed.
Of course, whether you're one year old or
otherwise, you can be one day old.
You deserve the inheritance.
That's your right.
So they open an account in the name
of that baby.
So zakah is obligatory on that wealth.
It is.
If it reaches the Nisab and the Hawl
and the time period has passed, etc.
So all those zakah rules.
So this is why Sayyidina Umar, his advice
was, invest children's inherited wealth so that the
zakah doesn't eat it up.
Because year after year, by the time the
kid's 18, you're taking 2.5% and
then what's remaining?
2.5% of that.
The next year, what's remaining of that?
2.5% of that.
On and on and on and on.
It's going to decrease.
Sayyidina Umar said, invest it.
And so if you buy a property, there's
no zakah on that.
And you keep using the rental income.
Rental income comes by another property or improve
this property, etc.
Keep using the money.
That's the answer to that.
Is Sajdah to Sehu obligatory in Qada prayers?
Firstly, what is the difference between a prayer
done on time versus a prayer done afterwards?
Because I missed it for whatever reason.
The word Ada refers to praying on time.
And you get the reward of the prayer.
For however much you focused.
The word Qada refers to praying after the
time has passed for whatever reason you missed
the prayer and you're making it up.
You're making it up.
For Qada prayers, it is often said by
the ulama that the sin of missing the
prayer is removed but there's no reward.
Well, you shouldn't be rewarded for whatever reason.
Laziness, you overslept it, what have you.
The reward is given out in the time.
You pray afterwards and you repent from missing
the prayer.
Then the sin may be removed but there's
going to be no reward.
But you must treat the prayer exactly the
same.
So if you are traveling and you need
to make up the prayer, you make it
up as traveling.
Even if you return home.
If it was out loud, you make it
up out loud.
If it was silent, you make it up
as silent.
And if you missed a sunnah mu'akkadah
in the prayer, yeah, even in Adah, you
do sujood al sahw.
Okay?
Sujood al sahw is needed in the Maliki
school for eight sunnah mu'akkadah that you
may have missed.
Keep in mind, you forgot.
If you intentionally left it off, sujood al
sahw is invalid.
If you intentionally left it off.
No, the salah is invalid.
The whole salah is invalid.
If you intentionally leave it off.
What are these eight sunnah mu'akkadah?
The surah after Fatiha in the first two
rakahs.
The tahmid, sami'allahu liman hamida.
The tashahud, the first and second.
And the sitting for it.
And then the tahiyyat.
We said that, tashahud.
All right?
The takbirat.
Allahu akbar.
For each time you're moving.
Sami'allahu liman hamida.
Okay?
The surah.
Oh, the out loud and the silent.
Out loud on time and silent in its
place and silent in its place.
If you forget one of these, then you
make it, you continue your prayer and you
make it up at the end.
If you were, you make it up at
the end by doing two sujud al sahw.
You make up for it, I should say.
By doing two sujud, two prostrations of forgetfulness.
Then the first half of the tahiyyat and
you sit on up.
If you forget an obligation, you cancel that
whole rakah.
In the middle of your prayer, you cancel
it, get right back up and redo the
whole rakah and then do two sujud al
sahw.
If you intentionally leave off an obligation or
a sunnah mu'akkadah, the whole prayer is
invalid.
Last answer to that question.
What is crazy, Omar?
Yeah, that's crazy.
What is that?
Hellfire or what?
That's actually really good because it's like entertainment
around the river of *.
That's a good picture.
That is a good picture.
How can I benefit from Al Ba'aloui?
Just start listening to muwassala.com.
If you speak Arabic, get Habib Omar's telegram
page.
You get the minute by minute live immediately.
You click on it, you listen to it,
you miss it, you get the recording.
Start reciting the awrads.
Ratib and benefiting like that.
How to strengthen iman?
By dhikr.
And knowledge.
Knowledge strengthens iman.
Knowledge strengthens iman.
What is the cap you're wearing?
No, this was sewn by somebody.
But I haven't found anyone who sews something
similar.
Omar, make the outline on the dupt a
little thinner.
The outline.
You keep it, but just a little.
Yeah, there.
A little bit thinner even.
Yeah, that looks nicer.
If I sold my savings before keeping it
for a year, do I have to pay
zakah?
Sold your savings?
What do you mean?
Spent it, you mean?
How do you sell your savings?
Spent it, you mean?
Then no.
That's the whole purpose of the hawl is
to make you move.
You got one year to invest this money
somewhere.
You don't invest it, you're going to be
charged with zakah.
Because by investing it, you're moving the society.
You're moving money in the society.
It's good.
Are you going to discuss Donald Trump being
back in power?
What does this mean for the Muslims?
I'll leave that to the political people.
I did.
We did see the statement that's going around
that he said that from now on the
U.S. federal government only recognizes males and
females.
And everyone was happy to see that.
Finally, some common sense.
Well, you sign on all sorts of executive
orders and they're going to rename the Gulf
of Mexico to the...
The problem with the executive order is that
the next president comes in and he negates
it.
That's the difference between executive order and anything
else.
So, executive order, this is, okay, the next
president comes and just deletes it on the
first day.
Why are there knots?
Undo them.
Sahara here or what?
I don't know.
We got a rope with knots.
Give me this thing.
What in the world is this?
You know that knots is the...
What is all this string?
Some...
I don't want some sahara here.
Get this out of here.
You know, sahara is always used with knots.
But this happens not to be that, right?
According to Omar's testimony.
Yeah, undo those knots.
My gold, they say.
If you sold your gold, your money just
goes into with the rest of your money.
And it would be zakatable with that.
So, you don't owe zakat on it.
And you don't owe zakat.
Firstly, in jewelry, you don't owe zakat.
Unless it's your Hanafi.
And jewelry doesn't mean that you have to
wear it.
Even if you don't wear it.
I got a necklace and you don't wear
it for 10 years.
It doesn't matter.
It's still jewelry.
Gold bullion, yeah, that's obviously currency.
That's zakat.
Not currency, but it's money.
It's zakatable.
So, you sold your gold bullion.
No.
There's no zakat on that.
You just put that cash with the rest
of your money and that becomes zakatable when
it becomes zakatable.
Well, probably not because I've never suffered chronic,
suffered this.
And they're probably the only reason Allah preserves
some people is because they're fulfilling some necessary
function or for some good function.
And that's why it's good to be useful.
Because Allah protects you from these things.
But you should probably, we should ask some,
some people to, to say how do they
handle chronic pain.
And it's tough.
But I wish I could tell you, but
I can't tell you.
Right.
I haven't experienced it.
We need someone who has experienced it.
Now, here's a question about, wait, well, when
it comes to chronic pain, we have to,
don't forget to take the isbab.
As long as it's lawful, take the isbab
to decrease that pain.
Can the love of Allah replace love from
parents and spouses, etc.
or love from Allah replace love from those
people.
If Allah loves you, He will send you
a human being oftentimes who will take care
of you.
That is a sign of Allah's love.
That is a sign of Allah's Inaya.
It never comes down, like, when Allah sends
you His care and attention, how does it
come?
Does it hover like a cloud?
No.
It comes through people.
It comes through other things.
Then sometimes it comes just through Sakina.
Even that Sakina is a thing comes down
upon you.
Sakina is a thing.
Some people said it's Malaika.
Some people said, no, it's a whole other
creation.
Sakina is a creation that comes down.
So sometimes it's that.
And yes, it can do a lot to
replace what others would have given us.
So the answer to Elif Fila's question is
yes.
That's possible.
What is exactly knowledge that does not benefit?
It's knowledge that will neither bring you a
benefit in this life or the next life.
That's it.
Okay.
Gigi says, are we really asking if Luqman
was a prophet or not?
What's the issue with that question?
Who's asking it, number one?
And what is such a big deal with
that question?
The answer is, he's not a prophet.
Say that Luqman was not a prophet.
Bobby says, will Safina merchandise be sold to
the UK?
Let me tell you about our merchandise in
a second.
I'll take this phone call first.
Yes, hello.
I'm going to have to bring you back
because I'm doing a live stream right now.
I see it here.
I see your number.
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right.
Merchandise.
When Safina does this merchandise, it will be
to support Umrah for youth.
So the money that's going to go to
it is going to go to send somebody
to Umrah.
And we have hoodies.
Hey, yeah.
Yeah.
Taimoor.
What does our hoodie look like?
Taimoor's on the phone.
Yeah.
Not yet.
Oh, I had one, but it wasn't the
right fit.
Yeah.
So we're getting another hoodie that's oversized hoodies
because I like oversized hoodies.
Maybe when it's snowing out, put on my
oversized hoodie.
Right.
So when you see us selling Misbah's beads
with Basmala beads or hoodies on our own
website, it's going towards Umrah for youth.
Speaking of that, what's our GRT status?
And yeah.
Taimoor, are you still on the phone?
Mokhtasam Chuktai says, I'm a medical student.
What's the ruling on using dead bodies for
studying?
They said that it's forbidden to use and
benefit from the dead body.
However, if it's going to be for medical
school purposes, then maybe it's permitted.
So obviously, there are doctors all over.
There are Shiyukh who are doctors.
They obviously went to medical school.
So that's what they say about that.
The default is that we wouldn't have we
wouldn't have done such a thing.
But for the sake of benefiting people, I
guess the fatwa is that they do do
it.
But you're in medical school anyway.
Why are you asking now?
Right?
You're going to do it anyway.
Right?
What's a good book on Imam Malik's life?
Probably the best one is the Four Imams
by who was that?
Abu Zahra?
Sheikh Jeef Haddad has a book on the
four schools and is it Muhammad Abu Zahra?
Yeah.
What's the threshold of being poor to receive
Zikah?
Says Joey Paisano.
All right.
Our cousin here, Paisano, if you can if
you do not have financial security for a
year, that means like you just do gigs
and you just don't know where the next
check is coming from.
You don't have any secure job, for example.
Amatul Kareem says that my prevention video on
health would prevent chronic pain.
Yeah, you know that I have a diet.
The Avoid Disaster Diet Plan.
That's what I'm an expert at.
Avoid disaster.
I'm not saying you're going to look like
Mark Wahlberg or anything else like that.
Right.
You know, he's always doing a movie where
he has to take his shirt off.
The guy's like 44.
He's still doing 50.
He's like 50 years old.
He's still doing these movies.
Right.
You know, they have to not drink water
for like three days or one.
I mean, you can't do that.
But for like one day so that there's
like literally no even fluid in the body
so that he's chiseled and he does all
the chiseled scenes then he does the rest
of the movie.
But the Avoid Disaster Diet I'm telling you
it's a great diet and it's easy.
We can all do it.
The Avoid Disaster Diet goes at lifestyle.
Actually, it goes like this.
Drink four tall things of water every day.
Okay.
Simple one.
Cut out coke.
It's a lot but you'll benefit.
You'll hydrate your skin.
You'll hydrate your everything.
Cut out cokes as much as you can.
Now, if you're having a cheeseburger and you're
having pizza and you don't have coke something's
wrong with you.
But that's an exception.
But genuinely speaking cokes and snacks should be
cut out about 90%.
Just like cut it out.
Don't buy it in the house.
It's only for special occasions.
Like the occasions.
You're going out for a burger you're going
to have to have coke.
Going out for pizza you have to have
a coke.
Things like that.
But cut out candy and cokes 80 to
90%.
That's number two.
Number three.
You try this you just have to just
try it one day.
One day wake up pretty early be active
and sleep at 9pm.
That's the norm of previous eras of human
life.
But it's really weirdly early today.
Right?
But just try it.
Your brain's going to get fixed and healed.
Your whole body will be healed.
I mean who can sleep at 9pm?
It's very rare.
But just try it.
Because then you're going to realize from 9
to 10 is the secret time.
You will heal.
You'll probably get up for it's a headache
by by yourself.
That's number three.
Number four.
Stretch.
Stretch.
Stretching I'll tell you why people fail at
stretching.
Because they stretch while looking at a wall.
Fine, turn the TV on.
Right?
Stretch for about 15 minutes.
Doesn't matter how you stretch.
My go-to person who has knowledge on
this thing doesn't really make a difference how
you stretch.
You're stretching something there's something called the fascia
around the body.
And however wherever you pull it that fascia
it stretches out and it loosens up.
So even if you don't know how to
stretch you don't know what to stretch.
Stretch anything.
And then you'll learn how to stretch by
watching a couple videos here and there.
Joey Paisano agrees with me.
Definitely need a Coke with pizza.
I mean you're the you're probably run a
pizzeria with a name like that.
Right?
You gotta have a Coke.
You know that one time someone had a
pizza and milk.
You need to be straight to the mental
hospital.
You need to go straight to the psychiatric
ward.
School lunches.
Pizza with milk with pizza.
Straight to Arkham Asylum.
Right?
I worry about this person.
I don't know.
I don't want to deal with this person
anymore.
Something's wrong with him.
Right?
I'm just kidding.
But I have to say I'm just kidding
these days because someone will clip it and
think it's a real fatwa.
Okay.
But how there are some stretches that are
probably not you don't know about them but
they're so good.
It's so important.
And that is our hip flexors because we
sit so much.
Right?
So they tighten up when they tighten up
they tighten up our back.
We think we have a back problem.
You don't have a back problem.
You have a hip problem.
So that's when you lay on your back
pull your knee up and over.
Okay.
So your thigh from hip to knee is
going diagonal across your body.
That stretch is the best.
It cures 90% of back problems in
my opinion.
That's in a nutshell the avoid disaster diet
because if you cut out Coke and candy
90% and sweets cupcakes cakes except for
occasions that's immediately so many empty calories right
there.
I'm not even saying cut out sugar from
tea and coffee because remember we are in
you're already in disaster mode.
You don't need to excel.
You just need to get out of the
disaster mode.
Okay.
And then you're taking water is actually going
to make you not want to eat so
much but it's going to also going to
hydrate your body so well.
Your sleep will cure your heal your body
and your eyes and your brain and your
heart and your spirituality and everything.
You sleep early like that.
Now sleep early you got to wake up
early and make yourself tired.
Third fourth thing is the stretching.
If you do that in the morning in
the night stretching in the beginning of the
day this is the avoid disaster diet lifestyle
change and guarantee you people be really feeling
different within a couple weeks.
Gigi says are you actually asking that because
you put it in the title.
Okay.
Oh so so what is so funny about
that though?
And Gigi says I'm sorry for not starting
off with Assalamu Alaikum three different words.
Okay.
No problem.
Are you knowledgeable in dreams?
Yes but I don't do interpretations here on
the on the live stream maybe like general
symbols what symbols would mean but Jose Garcia
when is the next trip to Florida?
God knows best we're gonna have to see
but I love coming to Florida I can't
lie to tell you I don't love Florida
is the California of the East Coast love
going to Florida.
Well he says he's gonna make a cafecito
it's that's Jose Garcia that's probably Cuban coffee.
Listen guys name Jose Garcia is in Florida
90% Cuban that's my guess.
Look up is a cafecito Cuban coffee yes
or no?
Because I'm guessing here in Florida it's mainly
uh-huh I was right then Cuban coffee.
How did people build muscle in Islamic past
if they only ate one third of the
stomach?
I don't think everyone only ate one third
of the stomach it's advice of the prophets
I send them that many people don't take
but I think they built muscle by the
work that they had to do carrying water
water back pulling a bull and have you
seen at night I mean sorry have you
seen in farms every night they got to
take the ox and the bull and all
these cows and they got to drag them
inside to a certain area I've seen it
and I and it's dangerous man bulls got
horns I've seen it cousin of mine yanking
the bull with horns and the bull doesn't
want to go inside yanking him expending a
lot of energy that's probably how they did
it I sleep at midnight and get up
at 7 a.m. and I find I'm
more motivated to read the Quran Gigi you
must be young because when you're young you
can break all the rules and you still
feel great the next day I am not
in contact with that person for 7 years
the person betrayed me I'm not able to
get over it says Aslan 786 Aslan 786
I must have read this must be the
second part of the question what's Aslan 786
this question this is Narnia based how to
remove a person from your heart and mind
who betrayed me simple ask Allah to remove
it from your heart that's the simplest way
get up in the middle of the night
ask Allah to remove it from your heart
yeah they also say there's another thing where
you you create yourself a pair so if
you don't want to think of something every
time you think of it you have something
else that you shift your mind to automatically
Jose Garcia I'm Guatemalan but I grew up
here so I don't know I know how
to make a make it like a Cuban
it's a crime you haven't visited because I'm
the Emir of Florida oh you better visit
me I like this guy he says it's
a crime you haven't visited me the obvious
Emir of Florida better visit me next time
you come come we'll visit Jose Garcia and
get ourselves a Cuban coffee why not which
city in Florida is the question Tampa where
everything is calm or Miami where everything is
dramatic as they call it I would say
go to the do dawah in Miami go
to the Miami has the reputation that I
think it is that we all know it
has dehus
maybe recite some dhikr maybe you have some
shayol teen in your house Allah knows best
and it could be Adhaat Ahla and Allah
knows best you're not going to lose by
reciting some dhikr and awraj in your home
to be safe anyway some shayol teen just
bothering you and Allah knows best it could
be Adhaat Ahla too here is Adam Bawamiya
saying ruling of women cutting hair in Maliki
Madhab Shafi is lenient shaving head is makroo
for women and not harab cutting hair short
is mubah if the husband is ok with
it well in the Maliki school it's about
avoiding tashabbah for both genders so for the
men anything beyond the shoulder it can be
you're imitating women and women above the shoulder
could be you're imitating men or looking like
a man so they dislike that for that
reason how do I deal with a spouse
who occupy his time on the phone too
much when you have children says Irene you
really have to ask him tell him when
you're when we're together as a family could
you put your phone in the car could
you not be on your phone two
minutes I gotta go because now I take
a class at 3.30 when I'm not
messing around not missing this class I'm taking
the class as a student ruling on eating
cake shaped like the Kaaba I don't think
that's we shouldn't take sacred things and reduce
them to things shaped like the Kaaba that
I don't think a cake should be made
shaped like the Kaaba and Allah knows best
is playing chess made the pieces are made
from animal bone I guess is it halal
well the question is basically animal bone let
me just answer this question can it apply
to everything else if the animal bone is
taken from an animal that was not slaughtered
according to the Sharia then that is Najis
and the things that are Najis we're not
allowed to use but if it was made
from an animal that was slaughtered by the
Sharia so you slaughter a cow a camel
a lamb and you use the bone for
some function it's Tahir and you can use
it as you wish so for example if
I have let's say a chess piece let's
print out this is a chess piece and
it was made from a bone that was
not of an animal not lawfully slaughtered I
cannot put it in my pocket and pray
Salah because I cannot carry what is Najis
in Salah that's the most important ruling you
need as for it just being around the
ruling is that we're not allowed to use
Najasa even if he had shaped it into
a nice little rook or a horse or
a pawn we're not allowed to use Najasa
okay Maroofuddin the machine
slaughtered yeah there are opinions that it is
permitted to use the machine the question mark
is there a human there to witness that
the machine did the slaughter and the human
to recite the Basmala whether on the whole
group or when the button was pushed or
on each individual one but the question mark
is and we should be constantly calling if
you believe if you are following the position
that machine slaughter is using a machine is
permitted in the first place the question mark
is does the machine actually do the slaughter
or did the chicken wiggle and the machine
cut the beak or or cut the chest
of the chicken and the machine bled out
sorry the chicken bled out that would be
Meta so the question mark comes in is
not the issue is not using the machine
because you can get Muftis who permitted that
including in the Maliki school you can get
that very easily for you the question mark
that we all agree on is we have
to ensure that the machine does it you
cannot just throw a thousand chickens on a
machine click a button and go pick them
up from the bucket at the end of
the day sorry at the end of the
line because you don't know if the chicken
was actually cut and slaughtered by the neck
now he can possibly look right and he
could look at the the batch of chickens
and look and see each one was cut
by the neck that's fine but you have
another question you know that they they also
they also do a little stunning everyone even
the hand slaughtered people they do that you
have to ensure that the chicken is still
alive at the moment of slaughter that the
chicken is not killed by the stunning and
that you can know by the degree of
the stunning all right we got to go
but we are at ninety four thousand seven
hundred subscribers and we're about to get to
