00:00:06 --> 00:00:12

No, we could say that all any if a man wants to get a divorce, he can

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

get a divorce at any time.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

Good

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

daydream of autumn moment answer your question in a second.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

But just send your question to info Josephina cetera dot orgy a

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28

man get a divorce at anytime. Question The Doors it's valid,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

right? The question is, he's not sinful to do that but he may be

00:00:32 --> 00:00:39

sinful for damaging his kids, his family, all of that. Okay?

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

hurting them such as a divorce with no reason. Okay?

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51

Such as I'm going to divorce a woman and marry another person

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

just because I feel like it. So that injury that you're doing to

00:00:55 --> 00:01:00

another most Muslim, you may be sinful for? What's the punishment

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

for such a sin? It's going to happen to you. Right?

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

It's gonna have in the biography of Muhammad Ali. He married his

00:01:08 --> 00:01:14

childhood sweetheart. When he got to the top, he pushed her to the

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

side and he married to supermodel

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

what what do you think she did to him? When he got old in the 80s.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

And he's no longer the wonderful Muhammad Ali. She pushed him aside

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

and married another guy.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30

The punishment for hurting others is that you yourself will get

00:01:30 --> 00:01:38

hurt. Don't hurt others. Okay? So for a woman, it is sinful is for

00:01:38 --> 00:01:44

her to seek a hula on a whim. Hula means listen, I'm done being

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

married with you. Let's make a deal. I'll give you the dowry

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

back. I'll give you some mother amount of money back divorce me

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

why?

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

I'm not feeling

00:01:53 --> 00:01:58

it will be a valid Hola, but she's sinful to same reason. Like why

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

why just this disruption. But if there's a reason.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

There a reason is divided to two categories.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:11

Abuse and non abuse. What's the non abuse reason? Let's say he

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

gained so much weight.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:19

I can't fulfill his rights anymore. I started now despise

00:02:19 --> 00:02:19

him.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

Okay, or his finances dropped. I married him at the level that I

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

thought he would I would live with the normal level of all son of

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

businessman or daughter of businessman and I expect to live

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

at this level. He can't afford it. He used to be rich, now he's poor.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

I just cannot be a grateful wife anymore. I cannot serve him

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

anymore. My heart cannot

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

be grateful anymore. Because that's the wording that the

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

companion of the Prophet use. She said, I fear Cofer meaning the

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

cover of gratitude, I won't be grateful.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

So he did nothing wrong. There's no abuse there. There's no

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

shortage of fulfilling his rights. But she can't fulfill his rights

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

anymore.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:05

So she she has to pay money, give back the dowry or some similar

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

amount of money, and he gives the divorce. Okay.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

Next.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:20

There is abuse or not fulfilling rights. Like what? My husband he,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:25

I go home, and he's mean to me. He doesn't talk to me. Right? He

00:03:25 --> 00:03:30

ignores me, and he doesn't sleep with me. And marriage is supposed

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

to be sticking. Or worse than that. He no longer pays any bills.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

I have to go work and pay the bills. Now what what does a man

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

Oh, does a husband Oh, a woman everything? No. He owes her the

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

roof, the food and the clothes on her back? Oh, he didn't out paying

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

my bills, my cell phone bills. He doesn't have to pay for your cell

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

phone. We have to be honest here because some people they think

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

there's a mistake that's going on that the man has to pay for

00:03:53 --> 00:03:53

everything.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58

No, he doesn't. He doesn't have to pay for your roof, your food and

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02

the clothes on your back at the level that he married you.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

So he married you that you are a woman who came from a middle class

00:04:06 --> 00:04:11

background like many of us know that we have a home. We have a

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

bunch of clothes for the different seasons. Right? We eat, you know,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

Acral martyred and maruf that which is known in the people as

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24

normal. And yet he comes to me and he says, Well, according to the

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

book of FIP you're gonna live in a studio apartment. There's a sack

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

of rice over there. You can cook it if you get hungry. Right and

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

here's a jacket for the winter. And that's all you get.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

And he says he says, Well, that's what the books say. Say no, not

00:04:39 --> 00:04:44

acceptable. What motivated? It's by the ORF. So if he stops

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

providing precepts protecting let's say this, he's a good guy.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:54

But the neighbor keeps walking into the house and gazing at me

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

and touching me sometimes hugging me and my husband can't stop him.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

He doesn't have the power to stop

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

him. So you he has failed on the level of security. Okay.

00:05:05 --> 00:05:09

He's failed on the level of securing his wife. So she takes

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

any of those grievances. These are objective grievances. And she says

00:05:13 --> 00:05:18

to the judge, my husband, he failed in this regard. The judge

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22

says, Okay, I divorce you from him. So it's out of the hands of

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

the husbands at this point. And she doesn't have to pay any money

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

back, because she has a valid reason, an objectively valid

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

reason. Okay.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

In the absence of the judge, any man can do it. But Imams today,

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

they're too afraid to do it, because they don't want to destroy

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

homes. But what they've done, they started to form councils. And on

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

top of that, the problem with it is that

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

they're not recognized authorities. So they could say,

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

Yes, federal, you're divorced from him. But the husband says, well,

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

take your photo and I rip it up. It means nothing to me. We have

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

that's why they don't do it. That's another reason they don't

00:05:59 --> 00:05:59

do it.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:01

Okay.

00:06:08 --> 00:06:13

Would mile limit and traveling Fick apply to space travel? Since

00:06:13 --> 00:06:17

it's vertical? Yes, it does. And on top of that, you would be a

00:06:17 --> 00:06:22

musafir the whole time. You're moving around unless you station

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

once you station, call us you're not gonna suffer.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

So that answers the question on space travel. Also, they're gonna

00:06:30 --> 00:06:34

have to have a whole book on this, but also was not even finished

00:06:34 --> 00:06:38

yet. Yeah. That answers the question on the valid divorce and

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

the types of divorce.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

But then also, like the earth is rotating, right? So wouldn't you

00:06:43 --> 00:06:47

have to go to the same space station? So you have to be the

00:06:47 --> 00:06:52

same exact or no? What sounds like if you're out in space, you're a

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

traveler the whole time. Because the Earth even if you're

00:06:55 --> 00:06:59

stationary, the Earth is still moving. So your house is moving,

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

and technically your distance is changing. No.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

That's true, but it'll definitely be more than 36 miles.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:10

But the moon being a rock from the earth, we can't say it's absolute.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

We can't say that is a specular is a speculative factor, an absolute

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

fact. I guess, like chemically like it's probably the same No,

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

like you would like to compare this. Yeah, it's quite the same

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

exact thing. But anyway, when you go to the moon, you're wearing all

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

these gloves anyway. Oh, yeah. Right. So take it off. You can't

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

take it off. Yeah.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:34

Also, there's a whole discussion on prayer off the Earth, right?

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

suspended in the air like that, but we're not going to get into

00:07:37 --> 00:07:37

that.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:44

Some lay Muslim says FTL saying you can marry someone as young as

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

one year old?

00:07:46 --> 00:07:52

Well, the a man look, marriage has a couple of aspects, one of the

00:07:52 --> 00:07:57

facets of the marriage contract is merely the transition of

00:07:57 --> 00:08:01

responsibility of protection and

00:08:04 --> 00:08:11

support financial support. So technically, if if a father sees

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

fit, when he in order for him to transfer

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

the protection of this child

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

to another man, that is that is a marriage contract. And he may do

00:08:23 --> 00:08:27

that. Because the Sharia assumes that the unlike today's society

00:08:27 --> 00:08:31

that makes the parents demons, no shit, he assumes parents want the

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

best for their child, the guy on his deathbed and there's another

00:08:34 --> 00:08:38

man there that says he's known for the whole life. I'm gonna marry my

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

daughter too. Did that means merely that her protect she's now

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

under your protection as for the actual

00:08:50 --> 00:08:55

fulfillment of the marriage, okay. Then in that case, it is only when

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

she can bear it.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:01

Alright, so yes, in the city. This is like a very controversial

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

thing. But I'm here to tell you what the video says.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:11

A father is assumed that he wants what's best for his daughter. So

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

he may contract make a contract with another man, which is a

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

marriage contract that whew take over the care of my daughter

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

because I can't do it anymore. Good.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:25

And the food the support, the protection of the girl will be on

00:09:25 --> 00:09:29

that meant. Then when the girl comes of age, and is physically

00:09:29 --> 00:09:35

capable, then we can discuss now, the issue of the conservation of

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

the marriage, the conservation can only have so marriage is not just

00:09:39 --> 00:09:44

*. It's not just having * with the girl. It is the protection of

00:09:44 --> 00:09:48

the girl. We don't we don't understand that now. But she did

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

not just come from modern Americans and British and

00:09:51 --> 00:09:55

Europeans. The city I came for people who lived in very small

00:09:55 --> 00:10:00

villages where it is very possible that a man has a daughter and is

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

is dying and there's no one else to take care of the daughter,

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

she's like four years old, he is going to contract the mayor can

00:10:06 --> 00:10:10

make a marriage contract on her behalf to another man in the

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

village that he trusts

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

okay

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

after she marries, if a girl marries

00:10:21 --> 00:10:26

or she has reached a certain age where she is very she understands

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

the world

00:10:28 --> 00:10:28

okay,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

then he has to consult her

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37

and even that I have to check where the conditions are, but

00:10:37 --> 00:10:41

there is a limit to when a man can marry off his daughter and the

00:10:41 --> 00:10:45

limit is when so what is the purpose that Allah has allowed

00:10:45 --> 00:10:50

this is because sometimes that is necessary. Right for protection.

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

All right.

00:10:53 --> 00:10:58

Could you call that marriage? Betrayal? No, betrothal is a is an

00:10:58 --> 00:11:03

agreement to do something in the future. Engagement. Okay, we

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

agreed to marry in the future. That's an engagement. But this is

00:11:06 --> 00:11:11

no an actual marriage. Why? Because a betrayal does not have

00:11:11 --> 00:11:16

any Sharia rulings attached to it, except from other men to propose

00:11:16 --> 00:11:20

to the woman. They're not allowed to propose her anymore. All right.

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

So you got a very beautiful woman. And you need to eliminate the

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

competition real quick, because you're not that great of a guy.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:30

But for some reason, she's accepting you. Okay, let's get

00:11:30 --> 00:11:35

engaged. As soon as we get engaged, basically, no one else

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

can can come in to propose to her.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

Happens all the time. In small societies. In small communities,

00:11:42 --> 00:11:46

you can have a girl who's like, a 10. And a guy who's like a five.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

But she didn't know many other guys. She's like, I'll take this

00:11:51 --> 00:11:51

guy.

00:11:52 --> 00:11:56

He gotta get engaged quick, right? Because if another 10 walks

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

through the door of the masjid, you're in trouble.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

Right? So he gets engaged quick
