Muhammad

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

We praise Allah

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

We send peace and blessings upon

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

our beloved Messenger, Muhammad

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

upon his family,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

his companions, and those who follow them until

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

the end of time.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

Brothers and sisters,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

Welcome back to our Tuesday gathering,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

where we're reading from the book,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

ilajanati rabbil 'alamin

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

of Imam al Qazari Rahim Muhullah.

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

And the last few weeks we've been talking

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

about some of the

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

different opinions around the idea of religious innovation.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

And the sheikh, he says,

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

He

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

he was talking about the things that you

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

have to know,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

and you'll remember he divided those into 3

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

areas, right?

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

Knowledge of faith,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

and this means, like, constantly throughout your life.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

And then he started to talk about knowledge

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

of Sharia,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

right, fiqh.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

And then within

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

the idea of Sharia, he says,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:39

The word

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

when used

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

by classical scholars

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

means something

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

which has evidences

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

that they differ over.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

This is very important

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

because sometimes we see people say, oh,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

this madhab doesn't have any evidences for this

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

masala.

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

Masa'il is the plural of masala.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

So people will say,

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

this

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

or that

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

or this scholar or that scholar,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

they don't have evidences for this.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

That's a mistake

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

in understanding terminology.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

The word

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

is used

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

when something has evidences

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

and the evidences are different over.

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

Within the epistemological

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

framework of Sunni, Sharia, and Filk.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

And oftentimes

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

you can

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

understand

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

who is not really aware of what they're

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

referring to or what they're talking about

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

when they fail to understand terms.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

The first thing Allah

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

taught Adam was the meaning of terms.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

So the first thing a student of knowledge

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

should be aware of

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

are what are the meanings of the terms

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

used by the scholars. If not, they're going

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

to be like Adam in without without knowing

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

how to name things.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

So when Sidna Imam Al Ghazali says

00:03:14 --> 00:03:14

of course

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

doesn't take Tanween

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

then you have to know those

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

related to the sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

alaihi wasallam

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

which you have to know

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

and be careful of bidah.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

And then Imam Al Ghazari,

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

he defines

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

how you recognize

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

and here he goes with the opinion that

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

we talked about last week of the majority.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

And of course, because Imam Alokazari

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

is, right, he's going to follow his but

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

also as an independent thinker.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

He's going to follow where the where the

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

evidences lead him. So he's going to now

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

use

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

the opinion of the majority of Sunnis. That

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

bidah is divided into 2,

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

commendable bidah

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

and reprehensible bidah.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

And as I noticed noted

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

that the contemporary Salafi school,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

one of the hallmarks of this school is

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

that it takes opinions which were on the

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

fringes of Sunni thought

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

and tries to present them as the mainstream.

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

I'm I'm not saying that to attack

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

anybody because those opinions, they have their evidences,

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

they have their scholars,

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

they have their,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

respected institutions,

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

even if we don't agree with them. But

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

we have to appreciate the fact fact that

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

oftentimes they are presenting opinions as we'll see

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

today

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

that were considered strange

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

or on the margins

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

of what was considered mainstream

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

Sunni thought.

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

So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

says,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

What

00:05:06 --> 00:05:06

is a bidah?

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

Something for which there's no text. What do

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

you mean here by

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

is Quran and

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

Sunnah means something that has

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

been traced back to

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

the early Muslims,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

because if somebody falls into that, then they're

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

going to be in a very dangerous state

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

with Allah.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

Last week

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

we talked about

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

the different opinions

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

of

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

Suni ulama on the idea of Bida.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

We noted that the majority of Sunnis throughout

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59

history divided Bida into good and bad bidah.

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

Imam Shayl Faye has a great statement. He

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

says,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

And again, we have some of our Shia

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

brothers and sisters.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

You know, this is what causes people not

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

to like you when you act like that

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

in the comments box.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

Same thing with Sunnis who go and do

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

that to Shia.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

This is not the place for that. You

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

wouldn't act like this

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

in school.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

Right? You wouldn't act like this

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

in front of people. Be respectful.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

Right? If you wanna be respected, be respectful.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

If you wanna be disrespected,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

act disrespectful. That's the rule of life.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:55

But I don't have time for this.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

We're trying to learn. So if you wanna

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

go be Jahal, go be Jahal

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

Khalasya. So he says,

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

Sayyidina Imam Sheyaf, he says

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

anything which has any type of support from

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

the sharia.

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

Is not

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

even if the Salaf didn't do it.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

So he talked about these two opinions. I

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

think I gave almost 20 evidences

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

for the positions of the majority

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

on the idea of good and bad bira.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

You can watch that,

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

from last week, Insha'Allah, on YouTube. And then

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

we talked about some of the positions of

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

the minority

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

and their

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

position that every innovation leads to being astray

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

and anything that leads astray takes you to

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

*. And we noted how the majority like

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

Imam Anawi and Imam ibn Hajar and others

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

say this hadith is authentic

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

but a general narration is often

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

restricted

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

or nuanced, and it's nuanced by the other

00:08:05 --> 00:08:05

hadith

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

of the prophet

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

That takes us now to the second issue.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

We're gonna try to cover it rather quickly

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

because this is a broader discussion that you're

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21

going to find in Osu Rufik.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:22

But this

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

unfortunately

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

is more commonly due to just people not

00:08:28 --> 00:08:28

knowing.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

And, again, you know, piety is a great

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

thing, but sometimes if piety is misplaced, placed,

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

it can create problems,

00:08:37 --> 00:08:40

right? It can create problems and this impacts

00:08:40 --> 00:08:43

people who are involved in work,

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

people who are engaged,

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

you know, in, in dawah,

00:08:49 --> 00:08:49

people who,

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51

you know, are building organizations,

00:08:52 --> 00:08:52

institutions,

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

you name it. And that is that oftentimes

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

when you try to do something which people

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

haven't seen before

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

or something

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

new, even in the areas of life, they'll

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

say,

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

the

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

prophet didn't do that.

00:09:09 --> 00:09:12

So so since the prophet didn't do it,

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

they are now implying

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

that what the prophet

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

did not do

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

means that something is prohibited.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:24

And again, if I can request people in

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

the Zoom to keep their mute button on,

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

it's it's gonna be super appreciated, thank you.

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

So the understanding by these people

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

is that

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

that the prophet 'alaihi salatu salam

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

he didn't do it,

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

so that means subhanAllah that its haram.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

This is really unfortunate because this kind of

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

idea,

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

contradicts

00:09:57 --> 00:09:58

the essence

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

of the text of Sharia

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

and goes against the actions of the prophet

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

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

And in the books of Usulufik, you can

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

write this down. This is called

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

Masala Atarq

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

Masala

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

Atarq.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

What does it mean when the Prophet Sallallahu

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

Alaihi Wasallam

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

has not done something?

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

And when I use the word

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

you already understand what I said earlier, that

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

means there's gonna be evidences, there's gonna be

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

different positions taken, it's gonna be a little

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

complex.

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

I'm gonna make it as easy for you

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

as I can.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

The Sahih Muslim and Sahih al Bukhari,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa'ari he was Saqib

00:10:40 --> 00:10:40

wasallam

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

he sat down with his companions

00:10:45 --> 00:10:46

and

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

a lizard

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

was presented to him, a bub.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

he started to eat and then he realized

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

that it's this lizard and he refrained from

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

eating.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:06

And immediately

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

someone said to him,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

is this forbidden, O Messenger of Allah?

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

And he said, la, no, look,

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

Just because he didn't do it, doesn't mean

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

it's forbidden.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

So he corrects this understanding that just because

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

I didn't do it, it means it's forbidden.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

So immediately he says, no,

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

This is not a type of food

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

that is known to my people

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

So I don't I don't prefer to eat

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

it.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

Another example,

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57

that just because the prophet didn't do something,

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

it's forbidden is Taraweeh in a group.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:05

The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam we know for

00:12:05 --> 00:12:06

a while he prayed Taraweeh

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

in a group and then he stopped.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

And then in the time of Sayidna Amr

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

Abdelkhotab Radiallahu Anhu,

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

he continued it again. We talked about this

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

text last week. If the prophet not doing

00:12:20 --> 00:12:24

something, Sallallahu alaihi wasallam meant that it was

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

forbidden, would have Umar done that?

00:12:28 --> 00:12:28

No.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

Another example that we can give is the

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

compilation of the Quran.

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in his lifetime

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

the entire Quran was written down but not

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

brought together in 1 most half.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

This happens in the time of Sayyidina Amr

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

Radi Sayyidina Abi Bakr RadiAllahu Anhu.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

So a turk

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

let you feed albida

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

walahi you feed a tahreem.

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

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam just because

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

he doesn't do something

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

according to the majority

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

of Ahlus Sunnah,

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

it does not mean that thing is forbidden

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

or an innovation.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

So we're gonna talk about this today, and

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

we're gonna unpack it rather quickly, and then

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

we're gonna try to finish

00:13:22 --> 00:13:22

the first

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

section on knowledge

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

from the book of Sayyidina Imam al Ghazari.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

Why why are we talking about this now?

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

Because

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

in the path of seeking knowledge, it's very

00:13:34 --> 00:13:35

dangerous.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

That's what Imam Al Khazari talks about towards

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

the end, you gotta be kinda careful

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

I'm gonna make a lot of mistakes.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

So we don't think that like the prophet

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

he said actually an authentic hadith

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

be careful of the mistakes of teachers.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:58

That make mistakes.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

First of all, we know that the sources

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

of Islamic guidance generally are 4,

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

the Quran

00:14:09 --> 00:14:10

and the Sunnah.

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

As the Quran being the primary source of

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

Islamic guidance

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

and then the sunnah there's no difference of

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

opinion on this issue.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

Then the second is Ijma, we talked about

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27

it before in Usul Ofilk. Now, Hassan, you

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

can see why I was teaching Usul Ofilk

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

before, so we can appreciate and understand what

00:14:31 --> 00:14:31

we're studying.

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

And the third is PS, analogy.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

The rest of the evidences,

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

you know, scholars they differ over like

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

in the

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

means you have an authentic evidence,

00:14:48 --> 00:14:51

but you have other more compelling reasons that

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

cause you to the

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

other evidence over what may be authentic. So

00:14:58 --> 00:15:01

so you for whatever reason the jurist saw,

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

this is makes more sense right now at

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

this moment.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:05

It's called

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

Scholars differ over there. Is it allowed? Is

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

it not allowed?

00:15:13 --> 00:15:13

Is

00:15:15 --> 00:15:16

different over

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

there. Another example is, is Tushab.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

Is a very interesting evidence because it means

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

Wow, which means that something maintains

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

its ruling that it had in ancient times

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

until there's an evidence to show that now

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

it's forbidden or now that its ruling changes.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

It's just from Sahaba.

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

But what we're talking about now

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

is from the Quran and Sunnah, we have

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

2 very important things, they're very, very clear.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:07

Number 1, our commands.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

Which means that

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

an action is commanded of you, you have

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

to do it. It's coming from Allah

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

or the prophet telling you you have to

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

do this like Akimu

00:16:31 --> 00:16:31

Salah.

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

This is called Amr.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

This is very clear in the Quran. We

00:16:36 --> 00:16:39

all know this, pray, make Hajj, be nice

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

to people, give zakah.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

Number 2,

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

what we are prohibited

00:16:47 --> 00:16:48

from doing.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says about alcohol

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

abandon it,

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

It's called Nahi.

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

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

don't come close to Zina,

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

and the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam encapsulates both

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

of these ideas in the hadith of

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

related by Bukhari Muslim.

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

The prophet said what I commanded you to

00:17:30 --> 00:17:30

do,

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

do it as best you can

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

and what I prohibited you,

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

avoid it.

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

So we have 2 things

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

in the Quran and in the Sunnah,

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

And we have 2 very important axioms.

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

That a command

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

means that thing is an obligation

00:17:56 --> 00:17:59

unless there is an evidence to to show

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

it's not an obligation.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:04

Number 2,

00:18:07 --> 00:18:07

a prohibition

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

means something

00:18:12 --> 00:18:12

which

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

its default is hormah.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:28

Unless we find an evidence to show that

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

it's not it's not haram, it's

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

so

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

the of a prohibition and nahi

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

is haram.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

The foundation of a command is an obligation.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

The foundation of a prohibition is haram.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

Here's my question, and this is why I

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

want you to use your mind.

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

None of those mentioned tark.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

None of those mentioned

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

not doing something.

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

Allah says

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

So to Hasher, I think verse 7,

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

whatever the prophet commanded, do it.

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

Whatever

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

uh-uh

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

the prophet prohibited,

00:19:17 --> 00:19:18

avoid it.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

It It doesn't say anything about Turk,

00:19:24 --> 00:19:25

what the prophet didn't do,

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

and this is where we find people confused.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

Oh, the Prophet didn't do it Sallallahu Alaihi

00:19:33 --> 00:19:33

Wasallam,

00:19:34 --> 00:19:35

the Salaf didn't do

00:19:37 --> 00:19:40

it so it must be forbidden, but we

00:19:40 --> 00:19:41

don't find anything clear

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

in the Sharia like we find with commands

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

and prohibitions, what I want you to understand

00:19:46 --> 00:19:47

right now.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

So on one end, we have amr.

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

On the other end, we have a nahi.

00:19:53 --> 00:19:55

Al amru, the command means

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

you got to do it unless there's evidences

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

to show the intensity is reduced.

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

Al Nahi means it's prohibited unless there's evidence

00:20:03 --> 00:20:04

to show it's reduced.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

Now the question is, what about tarq?

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

And you have to also be careful with

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

this

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

because there are different levels of commands and

00:20:18 --> 00:20:19

different levels of prohibition.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:23

For example,

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Mubare

00:20:28 --> 00:20:31

mentions from Ibn Abi Dakhila from his father

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

that his father was sitting behind Sayyidina Abdullah

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

ibn Umar

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

And Abdullah ibn Umar was teaching

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

and he said to the people,

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam prohibited

00:20:53 --> 00:20:54

was

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

kind of a fermented drink

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

and dates that are fermented.

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

Somebody tapped

00:21:03 --> 00:21:03

the back

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

of

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

Abi Dakhila his father

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

and he said what what did Abdullah ibn

00:21:10 --> 00:21:11

Umar say?

00:21:13 --> 00:21:14

So he turned and he said,

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

He said Abdullah, he didn't say nahi, he

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

changed the word from nahi to harama.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

He said Abdullah ibn Umar,

00:21:29 --> 00:21:29

he said

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

that the prophet

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

made these 2 drinks haram.

00:21:35 --> 00:21:37

Then Abdullah ibn Umar,

00:21:38 --> 00:21:39

He turned around

00:21:44 --> 00:21:45

and he said to him

00:21:48 --> 00:21:48

Cadet,

00:21:52 --> 00:21:53

you're a liar.

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

And where did you hear that?

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

He said, I heard it from you.

00:22:00 --> 00:22:02

He said, what did I say? He said,

00:22:03 --> 00:22:04

exactly. I didn't say, I

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

said,

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

so he corrected him because he understood it

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

wrong that it was forbidden. What he meant

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

was it's like or

00:22:13 --> 00:22:14

it's disliked.

00:22:14 --> 00:22:16

So you you have to be very careful

00:22:16 --> 00:22:17

here.

00:22:18 --> 00:22:21

But what we're talking about now, Masha'Allah,

00:22:21 --> 00:22:21

Masha'Allah,

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

is

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

a tuck.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

And again, if someone can hit their mute

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

button, I would super appreciate it.

00:22:36 --> 00:22:36

Insha'Allah.

00:22:38 --> 00:22:39

The Prophet

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

not doing something

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

falls under 1 of 6 categories.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

And again,

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

let's hold off on the questions perhaps,

00:22:50 --> 00:22:51

in

00:22:54 --> 00:22:57

on Instagram, listen, you know, you may find

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

the answer to what you're about to ask.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

But when the prophet

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

in general,

00:23:05 --> 00:23:06

he didn't do something.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

It falls under 1 of 6 things. Number

00:23:09 --> 00:23:12

1, it's an ada. It's a custom.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

So the prophet he didn't wear a suit

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

and tie, or he didn't wear

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

slacks, or

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

those things that are related to Adat.

00:23:23 --> 00:23:24

He didn't do that

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

He didn't dress like the Habashi people, he

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

didn't dress like the Masris, he didn't dress

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

like people from other parts of the world.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:39

And we understand that

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

the foundations of norms and cultural norms is

00:23:42 --> 00:23:43

permissible.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

So here, the fact that the prophet didn't

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

do it doesn't mean it's forbidden.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:49

You have to remember this.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

And the statement,

00:23:57 --> 00:24:00

right? This type of food is not from

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

my area, but it's not

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

haram. There you go. So if it's not

00:24:05 --> 00:24:06

haram, it's.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

So we say that anything

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

which the prophet left

00:24:10 --> 00:24:11

due to ada,

00:24:12 --> 00:24:12

due

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

to any type of cultural thing as long

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

as, of course, it doesn't go against a

00:24:16 --> 00:24:18

clear text of the Quran and Sunnah like

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

in our time,

00:24:20 --> 00:24:21

is understood to be permissible.

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

The second is that he left something maybe

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

because he forgot it,

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

and this hadith we find mentioned by also

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

Bukhari Muslim

00:24:34 --> 00:24:37

where the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was praying

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

and he left something from Salah

00:24:41 --> 00:24:42

and then they asked him

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

The Sahaba asked him did something happen

00:24:49 --> 00:24:51

in the prayer, that prayer has been changed?

00:24:58 --> 00:25:00

I'm a man just like you,

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

sometimes I forget, sometimes you forget.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

If I forget, remind me

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

The third is that the prophet left

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

something fearing that it will become difficult on

00:25:21 --> 00:25:22

the people

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

like Tarawih.

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

So the first three types we mentioned are

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

permissible people forget, they forget.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

Number 3, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

was scared what will happen with the people.

00:25:40 --> 00:25:40

Like he said,

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

if I wasn't,

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

you know, worried about my ummah, I would

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

command them to use Mi Swak in every

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

prayer.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

So he left it

00:25:52 --> 00:25:53

in order to make it easy for the

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

people.

00:25:59 --> 00:25:59

The second,

00:26:00 --> 00:26:03

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, the example we

00:26:03 --> 00:26:04

gave with Taraweeh.

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

He's concerned that it will be made hard

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

on the people

00:26:09 --> 00:26:09

Sallallahu

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

Alaihi Wasallam.

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

The 4th

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

is something that the prophet didn't even think

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

about. It wasn't something on his mind.

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

It wasn't

00:26:22 --> 00:26:23

his concern.

00:26:25 --> 00:26:26

For example,

00:26:26 --> 00:26:28

when they built a minbar for him,

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

Wasallam, he used to give his khutba on

00:26:37 --> 00:26:38

the tree stump,

00:26:38 --> 00:26:39

and

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

then he left it because they built him

00:26:41 --> 00:26:44

a minbar. He didn't think about that.

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

Just because he did and if

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

a Turk,

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

if not doing something, mean it was haram,

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

would those people around him even thought that

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

it was allowed for them to build a

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

member for him?

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

If the prophetic generation thought that anything the

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

prophet hasn't done,

00:27:03 --> 00:27:05

everything he left,

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

would they have had the ingenuity to build

00:27:08 --> 00:27:10

the mimbar for him? No, because they would

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

have thought it's haram.

00:27:13 --> 00:27:14

I'm not allowed to do this.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

But the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

Sallam, we know he was pleased with them

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

building him the minbar, wasn't something in his

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

radar.

00:27:30 --> 00:27:31

The 5th that the prophet

00:27:32 --> 00:27:35

left something because it's allowed to leave it

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

from those things which are good. Sometimes he

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

did it, sometimes he didn't do

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

it, but he didn't order people to do

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

it. Allah says,

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

we talked about this verse last week in

00:27:48 --> 00:27:49

Surat Al Hajj

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

verse number the 77.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

Allah says do good,

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

you will succeed. For example,

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

Sometimes the prophet prayed duha.

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

Sometimes the prophet didn't pray duha.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

Sallallahu

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

alaihi wasalam. Sometimes he fasted.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

Sometimes he didn't fast outside of the month

00:28:09 --> 00:28:09

of Ramadan

00:28:10 --> 00:28:13

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and most of this is

00:28:13 --> 00:28:14

going to fall under what's called almandubat,

00:28:15 --> 00:28:16

the recommended things.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:22

The 6th

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

is that the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

00:28:27 --> 00:28:27

Wasallam,

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

he left something

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

looking after what is best and easiest

00:28:35 --> 00:28:36

for the people.

00:28:37 --> 00:28:38

What we talk about in in

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala means a promise.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

Someone's asking doesn't

00:28:55 --> 00:28:56

mean maybe, maybe not,

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

It's a promise. So the 6 is that

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

the Prophet

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

left something

00:29:04 --> 00:29:05

looking

00:29:05 --> 00:29:06

after the Maqasim,

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

what's best for the people.

00:29:12 --> 00:29:13

So for example,

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

the hadith of Sayda Aisha

00:29:16 --> 00:29:17

related

00:29:19 --> 00:29:19

by Imam

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

Marek in Namuwata

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

and Imam Muslim.

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

At the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:29:35 --> 00:29:37

that if it wasn't that your people just

00:29:37 --> 00:29:38

became Muslim

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

and left Kufr,

00:29:42 --> 00:29:45

I will knock down the Kaaba

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

and have it rebuilt on the foundations of

00:29:48 --> 00:29:48

Ibrahim.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:52

Here the prophet, he doesn't do it

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

because there's a greater good that's gonna come

00:29:54 --> 00:29:55

out of it.

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

Because he knows if he knocks down the

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

Kaaba, this is an icon for the people

00:30:00 --> 00:30:00

of Mecca,

00:30:01 --> 00:30:02

they're gonna go crazy.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

So what's better to not knock down the

00:30:06 --> 00:30:07

Kaaba and rebuild it

00:30:09 --> 00:30:10

and create

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

civil

00:30:13 --> 00:30:13

unrest

00:30:14 --> 00:30:17

or to leave the Kaaba as it is

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

and allow the community to be together.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:21

How many

00:30:21 --> 00:30:21

Muslims,

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

they're fighting over issues of

00:30:25 --> 00:30:28

issues of secondary issues, destroying the unity of

00:30:28 --> 00:30:29

the Muslims.

00:30:29 --> 00:30:30

Here's your prophet Sallallahu

00:30:31 --> 00:30:32

Alaihi Wasallam

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

leaving the Kaaba on the wrong foundations

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

to look after the wahd of the Muslimi,

00:30:39 --> 00:30:40

the unity of the Muslims.

00:30:42 --> 00:30:43

So six areas

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

when we examine

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

sallam where he left something.

00:30:50 --> 00:30:52

Number 1, it's a habit.

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

Number 2, he may have forgot.

00:30:56 --> 00:30:57

Number 3,

00:31:00 --> 00:31:02

he wasn't thinking about it, wasn't on his

00:31:02 --> 00:31:02

radar.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

Number 4, that it will become a hardship

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

on his community.

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

Number 5, that it's allowed not to do

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

it or to do it like Dua.

00:31:11 --> 00:31:12

And number

00:31:16 --> 00:31:16

6,

00:31:17 --> 00:31:20

looking after what's beneficial for the people

00:31:21 --> 00:31:24

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam So now if we see

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

somebody just saying, oh, you're

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

doing something that the prophet didn't do, it

00:31:28 --> 00:31:30

must mean that it's forbidden.

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

Here's

00:31:31 --> 00:31:33

six examples of where it's not forbidden.

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

Right there in front of you.

00:31:41 --> 00:31:42

And

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

the reason that this is important is this

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

is how people, their good is undermined by

00:31:47 --> 00:31:48

others, man.

00:31:49 --> 00:31:50

I remember when care started,

00:31:52 --> 00:31:53

years ago,

00:31:54 --> 00:31:56

and people were tearing down their flyers in

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

the Masjid in Northern California.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:01

And we asked 1 of the brothers, why

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

do you keep tearing down the flyers for

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

CAIR and Islamic Relief

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

and, you know, whatever these

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

great organizations? And he was like, the prophet

00:32:10 --> 00:32:11

didn't do this.

00:32:12 --> 00:32:14

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

Let's explain this a little further, and then

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

we'll finish and move on to reading from

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

our text. 1 of our teachers,

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

the Sheikh of our Sheikh,

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

he wrote a poem about this. He said

00:32:32 --> 00:32:34

This actually is an axiom, you should write

00:32:34 --> 00:32:36

this down, you should memorize it, you should

00:32:36 --> 00:32:37

put it in your head.

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

Means the prophet didn't do it.

00:32:43 --> 00:32:44

Him not doing something

00:32:45 --> 00:32:46

is not a proof.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

Because the foundation of ataq, as we just

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

showed in 6 examples, is permissible.

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

It's not a proof to show something is

00:32:59 --> 00:32:59

forbidden.

00:33:00 --> 00:33:03

Of course, there's details like acts of worship

00:33:03 --> 00:33:03

and korba.

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

Honestly, we know that that's a different discussion.

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

We're talking now about things beyond that.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:18

The Sheikh, he says that a tark

00:33:19 --> 00:33:20

nabi

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

alaihis salatu salam

00:33:22 --> 00:33:23

does not necessitate

00:33:24 --> 00:33:25

something is forbidden

00:33:25 --> 00:33:26

or obligatory.

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

As we said earlier,

00:33:39 --> 00:33:42

That a command means an obligation, that a

00:33:42 --> 00:33:43

prohibition

00:33:43 --> 00:33:45

means forbidden, and that leaving something

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

means permissibility

00:33:48 --> 00:33:51

unless there's an evidence to show otherwise or

00:33:51 --> 00:33:53

it's related to issues of Ibadah that are

00:33:53 --> 00:33:54

not related to Istihab.

00:33:57 --> 00:33:58

So he says,

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

And he says, so whoever

00:34:10 --> 00:34:11

extracts

00:34:11 --> 00:34:13

from the fact that the prophet didn't do

00:34:13 --> 00:34:14

something,

00:34:15 --> 00:34:17

a ruling which is forbidden,

00:34:18 --> 00:34:20

and they see that as like that's what's

00:34:20 --> 00:34:21

correct.

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

This person has strayed from the proper methodology

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

of the evidences,

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

every single one of them.

00:34:35 --> 00:34:37

And in fact, what they've done is they've

00:34:37 --> 00:34:38

destroyed the original ruling.

00:34:39 --> 00:34:42

The original ruling is permissibility. So they've actually

00:34:42 --> 00:34:43

brought down the Sharia.

00:34:44 --> 00:34:46

In the name of Taqwa, in the name

00:34:46 --> 00:34:47

of Piety,

00:34:47 --> 00:34:48

they've

00:34:49 --> 00:34:50

created problems.

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

The only time we know that a Turk

00:35:00 --> 00:35:01

means something is forbidden,

00:35:03 --> 00:35:04

if we're forbidden to do it. So the

00:35:04 --> 00:35:06

first, because we didn't talk about it. How

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

do I know that the prophet not doing

00:35:08 --> 00:35:10

something means it's forbidden? There's a text that

00:35:10 --> 00:35:12

says you shouldn't do it.

00:35:12 --> 00:35:13

For example,

00:35:14 --> 00:35:15

Allahu

00:35:16 --> 00:35:17

says,

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

stay away from alcohol. The prophet he stayed

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

away from alcohol. So there we see a

00:35:23 --> 00:35:25

text. We see the

00:35:27 --> 00:35:30

brought about with the the prophet not doing

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

that thing.

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

So that's the first.

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

So there's a text that says like, if

00:35:39 --> 00:35:41

you do this, you'll be punished. Allah

00:35:45 --> 00:35:45

says

00:35:50 --> 00:35:50

Whoever

00:35:51 --> 00:35:54

usurps the property of the orphans has eaten

00:35:54 --> 00:35:54

fire.

00:35:56 --> 00:35:57

There's a threat of punishment.

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

So the prophet avoids it because we find

00:36:00 --> 00:36:02

a text that says it's forbidden.

00:36:04 --> 00:36:06

So something that the prophet

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

left

00:36:09 --> 00:36:12

and there is a text that identifies that

00:36:12 --> 00:36:12

act

00:36:13 --> 00:36:14

as something that will be punished.

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

In the second way, we know that a

00:36:22 --> 00:36:22

Turk

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

Yufid Alhurma

00:36:24 --> 00:36:27

is if the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:36:27 --> 00:36:29

or if the Quran

00:36:30 --> 00:36:33

have threatened that act or shamed that act

00:36:33 --> 00:36:34

if you will with punishment.

00:36:37 --> 00:36:39

Like the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,

00:36:42 --> 00:36:42

Whoever

00:36:45 --> 00:36:46

whoever

00:36:46 --> 00:36:49

abandoned prayer has fallen into disbelief.

00:36:53 --> 00:36:55

But the prophet said, man,

00:36:56 --> 00:36:58

whoever cheats is not from us.

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

So the first is we find if we

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

find an action and and the prophet didn't

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

do it and we find texts that say

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

doing the action brings about a punishment in

00:37:12 --> 00:37:13

the hereafter.

00:37:13 --> 00:37:16

The second, if the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:37:16 --> 00:37:16

or the Sharia

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

mentioned an action

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

and they like shame it or rebuke

00:37:23 --> 00:37:25

it. Like the one I just gave

00:37:28 --> 00:37:29

and the last

00:37:29 --> 00:37:32

if you find something in the word is

00:37:32 --> 00:37:34

mentioned with it, and the prophet

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

didn't

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

do

00:37:38 --> 00:37:39

it

00:37:40 --> 00:37:41

For example,

00:37:43 --> 00:37:43

Right?

00:37:44 --> 00:37:44

That pig

00:37:45 --> 00:37:46

and and and Karen,

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

those meats have been made forbidden for you

00:37:50 --> 00:37:51

to eat.

00:37:52 --> 00:37:54

Did the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:37:57 --> 00:37:59

Did the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam avoid

00:38:00 --> 00:38:00

eating pork? Absolutely.

00:38:01 --> 00:38:03

Is there a verse that says it's haram?

00:38:03 --> 00:38:06

Absolutely. So now we say in this instance,

00:38:07 --> 00:38:07

a

00:38:10 --> 00:38:12

You have to pay attention to this. This

00:38:12 --> 00:38:13

is very important.

00:38:14 --> 00:38:15

And some people will say, well, Lai, this

00:38:15 --> 00:38:17

is complicated. Exactly.

00:38:17 --> 00:38:18

It is complicated.

00:38:20 --> 00:38:21

Don't talk about what you don't know.

00:38:23 --> 00:38:24

Don't step into that arena.

00:38:29 --> 00:38:31

So, four things we wanna remember about when

00:38:31 --> 00:38:34

people say the prophet didn't do it, Sallallahu

00:38:34 --> 00:38:35

Alaihi Wasallam.

00:38:36 --> 00:38:37

The number 1,

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

a

00:38:40 --> 00:38:42

Turk right, that the foundation

00:38:42 --> 00:38:43

of things that are prohibited,

00:38:44 --> 00:38:47

that the prophet didn't do, excuse me, is

00:38:47 --> 00:38:47

permissible

00:38:47 --> 00:38:49

except an acts of worship.

00:38:51 --> 00:38:53

And even then there's a lot of discussion

00:38:53 --> 00:38:56

as we talked about Bir Hassan Abid Ahmed

00:38:56 --> 00:38:57

Mumma last week

00:38:58 --> 00:38:59

and the statement of Sayyid

00:39:10 --> 00:39:12

Then we talked about how do we recognize

00:39:12 --> 00:39:14

if the prophet not doing something means it's

00:39:14 --> 00:39:15

forbidden?

00:39:15 --> 00:39:16

Number 1,

00:39:17 --> 00:39:20

if there is a nahiyu that accomplice a

00:39:20 --> 00:39:23

comp accompanies it, a clear prohibition like

00:39:25 --> 00:39:28

Zina. Don't come close to Zina. The Prophet,

00:39:28 --> 00:39:29

he didn't do it. There's the text. There

00:39:29 --> 00:39:30

you go, hamdruillah.

00:39:31 --> 00:39:32

Number

00:39:36 --> 00:39:37

2, or the prophet he

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

spoke ill of that action.

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

For example, cheating.

00:39:53 --> 00:39:54

And in the last we said if the

00:39:54 --> 00:39:58

word haram is mentioned in the context of

00:39:58 --> 00:39:59

the act.

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

So then a person may ask, like, what

00:40:02 --> 00:40:04

do I do in this situation? That's why

00:40:05 --> 00:40:07

it's important to refer to teachers.

00:40:09 --> 00:40:11

Right? That's why it's important to talk to

00:40:11 --> 00:40:14

people who have a background in Islamic law

00:40:15 --> 00:40:16

about issues.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:20

And it's nothing wrong with asking people, like,

00:40:20 --> 00:40:22

was your specialty law?

00:40:23 --> 00:40:25

Because Islamic law is complex.

00:40:26 --> 00:40:27

It's not simple.

00:40:31 --> 00:40:32

Any questions about this

00:40:34 --> 00:40:35

before we

00:40:36 --> 00:40:37

continue

00:40:38 --> 00:40:39

because I know that was a lot of

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

information

00:40:41 --> 00:40:42

and we talked about

00:40:45 --> 00:40:47

Al Bida for 2 weeks.

00:40:48 --> 00:40:49

And that's why, for example,

00:40:52 --> 00:40:52

when we find,

00:40:53 --> 00:40:55

say, you know, certain scholars say,

00:40:59 --> 00:41:01

You know, this is something that the didn't

00:41:01 --> 00:41:02

do

00:41:03 --> 00:41:05

or that the prophet didn't do. That demands

00:41:05 --> 00:41:06

investigation.

00:41:08 --> 00:41:10

What type of not doing happened here?

00:41:11 --> 00:41:14

Was was it a not doing because it

00:41:14 --> 00:41:16

was mentioned in in the context of a

00:41:16 --> 00:41:18

nahi, it was mentioned in the context of

00:41:18 --> 00:41:19

a punishment in the hereafter,

00:41:19 --> 00:41:21

it was mentioned in the context of the

00:41:21 --> 00:41:22

prophet

00:41:22 --> 00:41:23

shaming that action,

00:41:24 --> 00:41:25

Or was it just talk

00:41:26 --> 00:41:27

that they didn't do it?

00:41:29 --> 00:41:31

Now you see something, and this is where

00:41:31 --> 00:41:31

you find

00:41:35 --> 00:41:36

Sayduna

00:41:39 --> 00:41:39

Abu Bakr

00:41:40 --> 00:41:42

arguing about the compilation of the Quran and

00:41:42 --> 00:41:43

Umar.

00:41:44 --> 00:41:48

Someone's asking if saying salaam after prayers is

00:41:48 --> 00:41:49

biddah, how could it be a biddah?

00:41:50 --> 00:41:53

The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said spread

00:41:53 --> 00:41:55

the salaam. You have an evidence for this.

00:41:56 --> 00:41:57

Nashruh As Salam.

00:41:58 --> 00:42:01

Like when people ask is saying Jumah Mubarak

00:42:02 --> 00:42:04

bidah what's wrong with saying

00:42:05 --> 00:42:06

kalima hasana sadaqa?

00:42:08 --> 00:42:10

The prophet said that a good word is

00:42:11 --> 00:42:13

we have to be very careful of taking

00:42:14 --> 00:42:15

Islamic legal issues

00:42:17 --> 00:42:19

from people who don't know.

00:42:20 --> 00:42:22

People asking about Mother's Day and Father's Day.

00:42:24 --> 00:42:26

People, so again, someone saying, what about shaking

00:42:26 --> 00:42:28

hands after salah? The prophet

00:42:29 --> 00:42:31

said, if you shake the hand of a

00:42:31 --> 00:42:34

Muslim before your hands depart, all your sins

00:42:34 --> 00:42:36

are forgiven. Look what happened to the Ummah

00:42:36 --> 00:42:37

of the prophet

00:42:37 --> 00:42:40

that now even the sunnah became a bitter

00:42:41 --> 00:42:43

and the bitterah became sunnah.

00:42:45 --> 00:42:47

And we know, unfortunately,

00:42:47 --> 00:42:50

that this idea and this way of thinking

00:42:51 --> 00:42:53

is again being brought in from the margins

00:42:54 --> 00:42:55

of sunnitaat,

00:42:55 --> 00:42:58

not the majority of sunnitaat. I remember years

00:42:58 --> 00:43:01

ago when I heard people saying saying Jumaa

00:43:01 --> 00:43:01

Mubarakah

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

is a bidah. What are you supposed to

00:43:04 --> 00:43:06

say to someone then? Nothing?

00:43:07 --> 00:43:08

Assalamu alaikum.

00:43:10 --> 00:43:13

SubhanAllah I wrote, there's a fatwa online about

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

this, that

00:43:14 --> 00:43:15

the foundation

00:43:15 --> 00:43:17

of any type of greeting

00:43:18 --> 00:43:18

is permissible

00:43:20 --> 00:43:22

because it falls under something the prophet didn't

00:43:22 --> 00:43:23

do it,

00:43:24 --> 00:43:26

but he did say salaam to people.

00:43:29 --> 00:43:30

And that's why I said one of the

00:43:30 --> 00:43:32

purposes of this halaqa

00:43:32 --> 00:43:33

is to reformat

00:43:34 --> 00:43:35

our minds,

00:43:36 --> 00:43:38

not on my understanding, but on the majority

00:43:38 --> 00:43:39

of Sunnis

00:43:40 --> 00:43:41

throughout history.

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

Again, what is more knowledgeable, though? So some

00:43:49 --> 00:43:51

people say it's hard to argue with someone

00:43:51 --> 00:43:52

who is more knowledgeable.

00:43:53 --> 00:43:55

When someone is more knowledgeable, what does that

00:43:55 --> 00:43:56

mean? That's an abstraction.

00:43:57 --> 00:43:59

Does that person have a degree

00:44:00 --> 00:44:00

from

00:44:01 --> 00:44:03

a Sharia department? Have they studied in a

00:44:03 --> 00:44:05

in a legal system of Islam?

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

If not,

00:44:07 --> 00:44:08

then

00:44:08 --> 00:44:10

they should stay away from that, and that's

00:44:10 --> 00:44:12

not disrespectful. That's being honest.

00:44:13 --> 00:44:14

We wouldn't go to a doctor

00:44:15 --> 00:44:17

who has no degrees and no background and

00:44:17 --> 00:44:19

say, well, the doctor is older, so I'm

00:44:19 --> 00:44:21

just gonna let them treat me. Why? They're

00:44:21 --> 00:44:22

older.

00:44:22 --> 00:44:25

Then you die. You can die on your

00:44:25 --> 00:44:25

sword.

00:44:26 --> 00:44:28

So you wanna be very careful.

00:44:29 --> 00:44:30

The din is different, and the din is

00:44:30 --> 00:44:31

serious.

00:44:32 --> 00:44:34

And we can be respectful, right, can be

00:44:34 --> 00:44:37

respectful but we also need to be honest

00:44:38 --> 00:44:39

with people, Alhamdulillahi

00:44:40 --> 00:44:40

rabbalami.

00:44:41 --> 00:44:43

Let's move on Insha'Allah then to

00:44:44 --> 00:44:44

O Aya.

00:44:48 --> 00:44:50

Someone's asking about praying with subtle

00:44:51 --> 00:44:53

and if one should leave this permissible act

00:44:53 --> 00:44:55

if it will cause discord. So we know

00:44:55 --> 00:44:56

that, you know,

00:44:56 --> 00:44:58

the Maliki Medha have prays with Irsail

00:44:59 --> 00:45:01

as does the Jafari Medha. But for the

00:45:01 --> 00:45:04

Malekis, you know, we have a very important

00:45:04 --> 00:45:04

principle

00:45:05 --> 00:45:05

that

00:45:06 --> 00:45:07

was called

00:45:07 --> 00:45:10

although it's different over, but in general, what

00:45:10 --> 00:45:11

that means is.

00:45:12 --> 00:45:12

And by the way,

00:45:14 --> 00:45:16

the opinion in the Med Heb is to

00:45:16 --> 00:45:17

pray like this, but when you read the

00:45:17 --> 00:45:18

great scholars of the Med Heb, they say

00:45:18 --> 00:45:20

you should pray like this,

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

Just keeping it easy. Put your hands here.

00:45:24 --> 00:45:27

But there's also something to be said

00:45:29 --> 00:45:29

that

00:45:30 --> 00:45:32

in the madhab we have what's called

00:45:32 --> 00:45:35

it goes back to leaving something, great question,

00:45:35 --> 00:45:37

Jessica, in order to preserve the unity of

00:45:37 --> 00:45:37

the Muslims.

00:45:38 --> 00:45:40

So in the madhab of Imam Malik, if

00:45:40 --> 00:45:42

I pray somewhere and the majority of the

00:45:42 --> 00:45:44

people, they don't pray like this with their

00:45:44 --> 00:45:46

hands to the side, I should pray the

00:45:46 --> 00:45:48

way they pray for the unity of the

00:45:48 --> 00:45:50

Muslims. This is mentioned by Sheikh Al Adui

00:45:51 --> 00:45:52

in his hashet

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

ala the the result of even Abi Zayel

00:45:54 --> 00:45:55

Qairwani

00:45:55 --> 00:45:57

and also Imam al Dusuki

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

and Ashakal Kabir, so absolutely.

00:46:01 --> 00:46:02

Someone said they were corrected because they said

00:46:02 --> 00:46:03

Ramadan Mubarak

00:46:04 --> 00:46:06

How is this be that the Prophet said

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

to say a good word

00:46:16 --> 00:46:18

Khalas, let's jump back into the book that

00:46:18 --> 00:46:19

we're reading

00:46:20 --> 00:46:21

of Sayyidina Imam,

00:46:21 --> 00:46:22

Al Ghazari
