What is the line between between warah and
the ayah when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala asks
who forbids the the zina of Allah
I think the reference is to the ayah
where Allah says,
Like,
Allah says, who dares to make halal haram?
That if Allah made something of zina or
verification of this world, Allah made it halal.
Who dares to make it haram for the
people?
So,
how do I know that I'm not jani
falling into into this?
Look,
you're not supposed to cause and or call
it haram to anybody. If it's for you,
that's what warah is.
For you, that's what warah is. Al warah
is basically when you forbid yourself from certain
halal,
out of fear of falling into the haram,
out of fear of falling into the haram.
But what's prohibited is telling people
stop eating, for example,
this or drinking this, although it's halal and
you're making haram for them right now. That's
what's wrong, that's what Allah forbids us in
this ayah.
How to distinguish
between
and warah?
So, Rahabaniyah is when people,
they completely isolate themselves in seclusion,
they go into solitary,
volunteer the solitary confinement basically for the purpose
of Ibadah. So they disconnect themselves completely from
the dunya, from the pleasure of the dunya.
Alwara
is reducing
your dependence on this dunya, not completely asserting
yourself from the dunya.
Difference between Taqwa and Wara.
Well, Wara is one of the forms of
Taqwa because the Taqwa is putting a shield
between you and the Haram or being conscious
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And what is
the practice of that? That you keep yourself
conscious of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's commandments and
stay away from what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's
Haram or if it was just doubtful. So,
that's practice of Taqwa.
Entering the masjid al musalla from the right
side, is this bida?
Like, some people insist on this even if
it means passing through the sister's side to
come in.
Like, if you if you say that you
come in from the main door,
and you go all the way to the
right side to enter from this door, in
order to say that you should enter from
the right side of the masjid,
I mean,
I'm not sure where this is coming from,
to be honest with you.
But what is sunnah
or recommended for the men to be in
the front lines to the right side, the
mirror behind the iman, the right side. So,
yeah, but not entering from the right door
of the masjid, so I don't know where
this is coming from.
And, if someone believes that's a virtuous,
they need to provide an evidence for that,
otherwise, it's difficult to consider Bilal.
Someone was asking about the difference of opinion
and
and the 4 schools of thoughts, so as
an individual living in Baleara, do I need
to stick to one particular school of thought?
I mean, it's up to you, but, usually,
for average person just stay with the jamaah.
Whatever you get from your jamaah, insha Allahu
Ta'ala, just follow that.
Those
are very lengthy questions over here.
So, someone is asking about, the 401ks
and they are promoted
as halal investments, such as airlines, but there
are some elements of haram like alcohol and
so on. I think this was clarified in
our today's session. If you guys remember, when
he said
if someone's income is solely haram versus, you
know, partially haram, What's the ratio for the
haram? And, it's majority or minority? So, based
on that, you could just stay away from
it completely as part of the warah, or
you can participate with caution.
Can I use the money I get as
interest to pay any fee the bank charged
me?
Or should I treat the interest money as
something that doesn't belong to me and do
it to another municipal cause? I believe that
you should actually get rid of it, inshallah.
Unless you want to take the the statements
of imam
ibn Qudam
by taking the halal and keep it for
yourself and the Shubha, give it to the
Shubha,
Yeah, and the source of income. In this
case, you can use that opinion
to pay any fees that the bank charges
you.
Here's the perpetual question of all times, is
it okay to eat nanzabi hamid?
It's up to you.
There are 3 opinions and I'm sure that
you already chose 1 so stick to it.
Is it recommended to avoid visiting a friend
who has bought his home using a traditional
interest based mortgage?
No.
His his haram is on him. You, you're
doing your duty towards him, insha Allahu Ta'ala,
to to visit and to be kind to
them.
But, again, if they feed you food that
you know it's haram, that's a different story.
Do I get sins when my bank charges
my credit card interest after a purchase?
Well, if you allowed it, but if you
pay in full every month, alhamdulillah, then you're
clear.
Although in essence in essence, signing a contract
for a credit card is also considered haram
because you're allowing this to to be charged
to your credit card. But our ulama, they
say because it has become more like a,
a hajjah, like it's a pressing need for
people to participate and deal with the, with
credit cards. So, they say,
if you guarantee that you pay in full
every month. But if you allow charges on
your credit card, that's when the haram kicks
in.
How do how do you separate
haram when you have been the one paying
arribah?
Does your money become haram? How do you
clean that money? Well, if you're the one
who's paying the money,
I wouldn't say your money becomes yanih haram
in that sense, but the action if you're
doing that that's the haram. But if you're
one who's collecting the money, the the river,
then all your money becomes haram.
So that it's it's worse when you get
when you receive the money, you charge the
interest
than you pay that interest.
What's the difference between wajib and ford?
So some ulama, they consider wajib and ford
the same category, like interchangeable terminology for obligatory.
But other schools of thought, particularly in the
Hanafi school, they differentiate between ford and wajib
by saying the ford, if anything, that was
established in the rules of fiqh with a
decisive,
evidence, such as an ayah that is in
terms of understanding,
or the hadith that is conclusively
under
as well with a clear understanding.
But anything that is less than
hadith or an ayat that nadi have different
opinion or different interpretation,
it goes into the wajib. So, for them,
the 5 daily prayers are considered what? Farb.
But the wither is considered
wajib
because it's
not,
in the Quran as a with a conclusive
evidence.
Okay. So, this is a different question.
If we say something wrong and instantly do
Istaghfaa, does it remove
is it remove from our book or still
stays?
You need to go back maybe 3 weeks,
study that session, insha Allahu Ta'ala, because we
talked about this in details.
Some of the ulama, they actually more than
3 weeks. Some of the ulama, they say
the whole thing is removed completely.
At the they say, no, it's still registered
but the liability is removed. So, it's a
reminder for you but the liability,
on you.
Can a Muslim convert accept inheritance from a
non Muslim relative?
What if it is a lot of money?
Well, to receive it in the way that
we receive it doesn't count here. So, they
receive it in a in a form of
a siyyah or a will, and that's different.
You can take that money insha'Allah.
So, I heard a hadith, the prophet said,
whoever doesn't follow my sunnah or me is
not one of my true followers.
In that context, does the sunnah salah become
a must? The answer is no.
The meaning of this is overall following the
example of the prophet salahahu alayhi wa sallam.
And, the example of the prophet salahahu alayhi
wa sallam not making the sunnah salah mandatory,
but it's recommended,
so you do it as an encouragement
Again about Halal meat.
If you had a credit card and you
repent, the bank wants you to pay interest.
Does that make your income haram?
And you said to take the barakah from
your income? Like we said, you're not paying
the interest, so your money hopefully stays clear,
but
definitely it's the sin of committing the aribah
by paying it in the 1st place. So,
try to
get rid of it as quick as possible,
because if you don't pay it,
you'll you'll go into trouble. You're gonna have
to, you know, call for bankruptcy, whatever, just
to get rid of that.
If someone already has a traditional mortgage,
and they would like to switch to halal
mortgage. Look, I don't think I don't say
that what we have out in the market
is a 100% halal,
but it's called Sharia compliant.
What does that mean? It means under the
circumstances
is accepted in the Sharia,
but it doesn't make it 100% purely halal.
So, it's up to your circumstances.
If you feel
that you're you don't need it, then don't
do it.
Stay until you can pay cash, for example.
But, if you realize that your circumstances are
dire and this becomes a pressing need,
then you can take that concession inshallah
