What is the line between between warah and

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

the ayah when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala asks

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

who forbids the the zina of Allah

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

I think the reference is to the ayah

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

where Allah says,

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

Like,

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

Allah says, who dares to make halal haram?

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

That if Allah made something of zina or

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

verification of this world, Allah made it halal.

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

Who dares to make it haram for the

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

people?

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

So,

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

how do I know that I'm not jani

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

falling into into this?

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

Look,

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

you're not supposed to cause and or call

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

it haram to anybody. If it's for you,

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

that's what warah is.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

For you, that's what warah is. Al warah

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

is basically when you forbid yourself from certain

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

halal,

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

out of fear of falling into the haram,

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

out of fear of falling into the haram.

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

But what's prohibited is telling people

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

stop eating, for example,

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

this or drinking this, although it's halal and

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

you're making haram for them right now. That's

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

what's wrong, that's what Allah forbids us in

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

this ayah.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

How to distinguish

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

between

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

and warah?

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

So, Rahabaniyah is when people,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

they completely isolate themselves in seclusion,

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

they go into solitary,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

volunteer the solitary confinement basically for the purpose

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

of Ibadah. So they disconnect themselves completely from

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

the dunya, from the pleasure of the dunya.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

Alwara

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

is reducing

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

your dependence on this dunya, not completely asserting

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

yourself from the dunya.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

Difference between Taqwa and Wara.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

Well, Wara is one of the forms of

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

Taqwa because the Taqwa is putting a shield

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

between you and the Haram or being conscious

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And what is

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

the practice of that? That you keep yourself

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

conscious of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's commandments and

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

stay away from what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

Haram or if it was just doubtful. So,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

that's practice of Taqwa.

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

Entering the masjid al musalla from the right

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

side, is this bida?

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

Like, some people insist on this even if

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

it means passing through the sister's side to

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

come in.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

Like, if you if you say that you

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

come in from the main door,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

and you go all the way to the

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

right side to enter from this door, in

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

order to say that you should enter from

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

the right side of the masjid,

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

I mean,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

I'm not sure where this is coming from,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

to be honest with you.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

But what is sunnah

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

or recommended for the men to be in

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

the front lines to the right side, the

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

mirror behind the iman, the right side. So,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

yeah, but not entering from the right door

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

of the masjid, so I don't know where

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

this is coming from.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

And, if someone believes that's a virtuous,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

they need to provide an evidence for that,

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

otherwise, it's difficult to consider Bilal.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

Someone was asking about the difference of opinion

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

and

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

and the 4 schools of thoughts, so as

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

an individual living in Baleara, do I need

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

to stick to one particular school of thought?

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

I mean, it's up to you, but, usually,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

for average person just stay with the jamaah.

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

Whatever you get from your jamaah, insha Allahu

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

Ta'ala, just follow that.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

Those

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

are very lengthy questions over here.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

So, someone is asking about, the 401ks

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

and they are promoted

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

as halal investments, such as airlines, but there

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

are some elements of haram like alcohol and

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

so on. I think this was clarified in

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

our today's session. If you guys remember, when

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

he said

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

if someone's income is solely haram versus, you

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

know, partially haram, What's the ratio for the

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

haram? And, it's majority or minority? So, based

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

on that, you could just stay away from

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

it completely as part of the warah, or

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

you can participate with caution.

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

Can I use the money I get as

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

interest to pay any fee the bank charged

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

me?

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

Or should I treat the interest money as

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

something that doesn't belong to me and do

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

it to another municipal cause? I believe that

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

you should actually get rid of it, inshallah.

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

Unless you want to take the the statements

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

of imam

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

ibn Qudam

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

by taking the halal and keep it for

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

yourself and the Shubha, give it to the

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

Shubha,

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

Yeah, and the source of income. In this

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

case, you can use that opinion

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

to pay any fees that the bank charges

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

you.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

Here's the perpetual question of all times, is

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

it okay to eat nanzabi hamid?

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

It's up to you.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

There are 3 opinions and I'm sure that

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

you already chose 1 so stick to it.

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

Is it recommended to avoid visiting a friend

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

who has bought his home using a traditional

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

interest based mortgage?

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

No.

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

His his haram is on him. You, you're

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

doing your duty towards him, insha Allahu Ta'ala,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

to to visit and to be kind to

00:05:14 --> 00:05:14

them.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

But, again, if they feed you food that

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

you know it's haram, that's a different story.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

Do I get sins when my bank charges

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

my credit card interest after a purchase?

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

Well, if you allowed it, but if you

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

pay in full every month, alhamdulillah, then you're

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

clear.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

Although in essence in essence, signing a contract

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

for a credit card is also considered haram

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

because you're allowing this to to be charged

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

to your credit card. But our ulama, they

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

say because it has become more like a,

00:05:44 --> 00:05:48

a hajjah, like it's a pressing need for

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

people to participate and deal with the, with

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

credit cards. So, they say,

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

if you guarantee that you pay in full

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

every month. But if you allow charges on

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

your credit card, that's when the haram kicks

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

in.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

How do how do you separate

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

haram when you have been the one paying

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

arribah?

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

Does your money become haram? How do you

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

clean that money? Well, if you're the one

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

who's paying the money,

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

I wouldn't say your money becomes yanih haram

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

in that sense, but the action if you're

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

doing that that's the haram. But if you're

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

one who's collecting the money, the the river,

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

then all your money becomes haram.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

So that it's it's worse when you get

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

when you receive the money, you charge the

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

interest

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

than you pay that interest.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

What's the difference between wajib and ford?

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

So some ulama, they consider wajib and ford

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

the same category, like interchangeable terminology for obligatory.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

But other schools of thought, particularly in the

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Hanafi school, they differentiate between ford and wajib

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

by saying the ford, if anything, that was

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

established in the rules of fiqh with a

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

decisive,

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

evidence, such as an ayah that is in

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

terms of understanding,

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

or the hadith that is conclusively

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

under

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

as well with a clear understanding.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

But anything that is less than

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

hadith or an ayat that nadi have different

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

opinion or different interpretation,

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

it goes into the wajib. So, for them,

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

the 5 daily prayers are considered what? Farb.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

But the wither is considered

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

wajib

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

because it's

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

not,

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

in the Quran as a with a conclusive

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

evidence.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

Okay. So, this is a different question.

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

If we say something wrong and instantly do

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

Istaghfaa, does it remove

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

is it remove from our book or still

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

stays?

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

You need to go back maybe 3 weeks,

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

study that session, insha Allahu Ta'ala, because we

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

talked about this in details.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

Some of the ulama, they actually more than

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

3 weeks. Some of the ulama, they say

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

the whole thing is removed completely.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

At the they say, no, it's still registered

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

but the liability is removed. So, it's a

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

reminder for you but the liability,

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

on you.

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

Can a Muslim convert accept inheritance from a

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

non Muslim relative?

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

What if it is a lot of money?

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

Well, to receive it in the way that

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

we receive it doesn't count here. So, they

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

receive it in a in a form of

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

a siyyah or a will, and that's different.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38

You can take that money insha'Allah.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

So, I heard a hadith, the prophet said,

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

whoever doesn't follow my sunnah or me is

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

not one of my true followers.

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

In that context, does the sunnah salah become

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

a must? The answer is no.

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

The meaning of this is overall following the

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

example of the prophet salahahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

And, the example of the prophet salahahu alayhi

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

wa sallam not making the sunnah salah mandatory,

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

but it's recommended,

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

so you do it as an encouragement

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

Again about Halal meat.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

If you had a credit card and you

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

repent, the bank wants you to pay interest.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

Does that make your income haram?

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

And you said to take the barakah from

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54

your income? Like we said, you're not paying

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

the interest, so your money hopefully stays clear,

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

but

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

definitely it's the sin of committing the aribah

00:09:59 --> 00:10:02

by paying it in the 1st place. So,

00:10:02 --> 00:10:02

try to

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

get rid of it as quick as possible,

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

because if you don't pay it,

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

you'll you'll go into trouble. You're gonna have

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

to, you know, call for bankruptcy, whatever, just

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

to get rid of that.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

If someone already has a traditional mortgage,

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24

and they would like to switch to halal

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

mortgage. Look, I don't think I don't say

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

that what we have out in the market

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

is a 100% halal,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

but it's called Sharia compliant.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

What does that mean? It means under the

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

circumstances

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

is accepted in the Sharia,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:41

but it doesn't make it 100% purely halal.

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

So, it's up to your circumstances.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

If you feel

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

that you're you don't need it, then don't

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

do it.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

Stay until you can pay cash, for example.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

But, if you realize that your circumstances are

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

dire and this becomes a pressing need,

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

then you can take that concession inshallah
