If you're a lawyer, you might like this.
Imam Al-Shafi'i was asked, Are there
any verses in the Qur'an that showed
the validity of a marriage between non-Muslims?
Hypothetical law, because there was a time when
the Sharia was rocking it so hard, they
could do hypothetical law.
Now we're catching up, like it's all catch
up, right?
Kind of following what's going on.
What's Bitcoin?
Okay, this, like, right?
And that's the state also of the broader
Muslim world.
We've been, we see now what happened today
in Lebanon.
Like, subhanAllah, like, we have so many challenges.
I don't like blaming Muslims for our problems,
man.
This is hard to deal with.
I lived in the Muslim world for years.
It's a very, I don't like it when
people here blame people overseas.
Go live there, man.
Right, go, if you're so big and bad,
go over there and do like some egalitarian
lecture on, you know, democracy and like the
equalization of the economy and, you know, social
stratification.
We will never see you again.
We'll see how brave you are, buddy.
I mean, after I gave this speech last
week here, people off stage were like, I
don't know if you should have said that,
man.
I don't know if you should have given
that talk at the protest here.
I was like, why not?
Like, so, you know, it's easy, but Muslims
are incredibly resilient, beautiful people, like, the stuff
we've been through, it's incredible, like, look in
Bangladesh, man, 170 people with no electricity or
no internet.
You know, I talked to, last week we
did a live, a young man from Bangladesh
came on, he was like, they killed 1
,500 people so far, I saw them shoot
a 14-year-old.
You know, like, man, and we're here arguing
about like wet samosas and, you know, like,
what's for iftar?
I mean, it's not fair, man.
So ask Allah Ta'ala bil'afiyah.
بَسَّ يَصْلَ نَا رَنْدَ تَلَهَب وَمْ مُرَأَتُهُ Imam
Al-Shafi'i said, the evidence for this
is Allah says, وَمْ مُرَأَتُهُ The wife of
Abu Lahab.
So Allah, if you think about it, it's
interesting, Imam Al-Shafi'i uses inference.
He said, Allah said that, that's the wife
of Abu Lahab.
So that means their marriage is valid in
front of who?
In front of God.
So that's an evidence.
And here you see the brilliance of Al
-Shafi'i, he's in front of the law,
he's not behind the law.
The law is like in front, right?
So he goes and extrapolates, وَمْ مُرَأَتُهُ يعني
زوجته, his wife, Allah calls the wife of
Abu Lahab, اُمْ جَمِيل, his wife, that means
their marriage is valid.
It's like a cool thing.
He also said, وَمْ رَأَتُ فِرْعَونَ He said,
the wife of Fir'aun.
So, just a side note to show you
sometimes, scholars, it's cool how they take stuff
from Qur'an.
But the wife of Abu Lahab also was
a problem, man.
A big problem.
She was very difficult, the aunt of the
Messenger of Allah.
And many of us know, it's like I
said it before, when you're a new Muslim
and people are like, yeah, so your parents
Muslim?
