Allah, he was so happy he wanted Bahama Bye. Welcome back to our regular Tuesday, Q and A's but it
is not regular. As usual, I'm speaking to you in these days from our green screen room. And we will
try to resume a sense of normalcy by resuming our programs that we used to have and as you recall,
Tuesday's would be our open q&a session. And today in shallow data, I will do a very important
question regarding which I have gotten over a dozen emails from around the world. Last week,
somebody from Norway emailed me and then today, a few last few days, I've been getting a lot of
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:52
			phone calls and emails about this issue of the fifth of the looser, and the funeral prayers in light
of the Coronavirus in light of the fact that things are changing, and that perhaps, you know, the
body might be problematic to wash or that the governments are putting extra restrictions. And so in
today's q&a session, inshallah, tada, we will discuss the Islamic rulings pertaining to the janazah
pertaining to the taking care of the corpse, and pertaining to the sila, or the funeral prayer. And
as I have said, the last, you know, few lessons in the last week that really brothers and sisters,
it does appear, that we might be facing one of the greatest potential tragedies of our generation.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:36
			And I'm not saying this to be a fear monger. I'm saying this so that we prepare ourselves if that is
the case, and I hope that I'm proven wrong, but it does appear the way things are heading that we do
have a long time ahead of us, perhaps even months or more than this. And we will be tested and we
don't want to be tested. But when a law chooses to test us, then we seek our refuge in a law from
Allah subhana wa tada we turn to Allah to protect to protect us. And we realized that this is the
time that our faith will shine that our Eman will strengthen and guide us. And before we even begin
the film of the Genesis agenda isn't what not, I remind myself in all of you in the Battle of the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:03:15
			trench, which was one of the most difficult times for the Muslims when they were surrounded by an
army 510 times their their quantity when they did not have any other mechanism to support
themselves. Allah says in the Quran, Allah Deena pilot a homerun NASA in the NASA, the JAMA Allah
confer show him remember Allah says that when the hypocrites told the believers when the hypocrites
came to the believers and said to the believers, all of mankind has gathered to attack you, you're
surrounded by everyone. Aren't you scared? Aren't you terrified? Fuck showhome and Allah azza wa jal
says describing the believers facade that tomb imana their Eman went up there eemaan increased,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:59
			while corlew has spoon Allahu wa near melawati. They said Allah is sufficient for us. And he is all
that we need to protect us. So has borne Allah who are near Milwaukee, at times of stress, at times
of difficulty, at times of fear, the moment turns to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And their image goes
up. And their courage comes from their faith and their strength and their determination comes from
up above and Allah azza wa jal will then give them the faith that they need to overcome the
tragedies that they're going to face. And dear Muslims, indeed, it does appear that we're going to
be facing some tragedies, there might be as Allah says, in the corner, we're going to test you with
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:41
			something of fear and calamity and with the loss of life and with the loss of produce. And the
plague is of course one of the most terrifying uncertainties, and it is a time of great confusion
and hysteria. And it is also a time where a lot of people die. And we do have to prepare ourselves
for the possibility that there might be families amongst us who will be affected, maybe even we
ourselves will be affected. And we have to remind ourselves that death only comes to us when Allah
has decreed no one can protect against death, but we still take reasonable precautions. wherever we
are, death will come when Allah has pre ordained it, nothing can change the time of death, Allah
		
00:04:41 --> 00:05:00
			azza wa jal has decided, but that doesn't mean we act foolishly, we act wisely and we prepare and we
seek protection from a worldly perspective and we see protection in Allah subhana wa tada realized
dear Muslims that death during the time of a plague is in fact a mercy from Allah subhana wa tada
and that is because
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			We learned from the Hadith that anybody who dies because of a plague during the time of the plague,
they shall be blessed with the highest status possible and that is the status of a Shaheed there are
different types of Shaheed there's the Shaheed of this world and the author of the martyr of this
world and the next world that's the highest category of martyr and there are those who pass away in
the battlefield in a legitimate fight and Jihad for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala they die
defending their homelands they die for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. That's the highest level
of Shaheed they are not given a hustle. They are not prayed for according to the more stronger
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:17
			position they are buried as they are, and they will have all the blessings of martyrdom in this
world and the next, there is another category of Shaheed and that is the Shaheed of the hereafter
but not of this world, the Shaheed who will get the rewards of martyrdom in the Hereafter, but in
this world, we don't treat them like a martyr, but if they die in a particular manner, as we'll
explain it a while then we expect and we hope that inshallah tada they will get the rewards, or at
least many of the rewards of the Shaheed and that is a type of consolation for us. Anyone who passes
away during this trial during this plague, anyone who loses a family member, anyone who faces the
		
00:06:17 --> 00:07:04
			death of a loved one, console yourself, console yourself with the fact that your loved one passed
away with the most honorable and the highest level of honor that a law could bestow on somebody at
the time of death. And that is the honor of martyrdom. And a symptomatic narrates that one of his
students he passed away. And so he asked, how did you haven yamamura passed away? And they said he
passed away because of the plague. So unassuming Radek said, I heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam say the plague is the death of Shahada for every single Muslim hypothesis, like the plague
is the death of Shahada, anybody who dies during the plague, it will be the Shahada for any Muslim
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:45
			who dies during the plague. And in another Hadith and Abu our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said, seven are the martyrs who shall be counted as a martyr, even if they don't die on the
battlefield. So he said seven types of people, they will be given the blessings of martyrdom, even
if they don't die on the battlefield. And he began that list number one on this list, he said, Alma
Tarun Shaheed The one who dies in the tar on the one who dies in the plague is a Shaheed and so this
is the number one category of martyrdom after passing away in the battlefield and the head Ethan
Bahati, I showed the loved one has says that I asked the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam about
		
00:07:45 --> 00:08:33
			plagues, how do we understand plagues? And our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the
plague is a punishment that Allah sends on whomever he pleads he pleases and it is a mercy for the
believers. So it is a punishment to one group of people, whomever Allah wills, and it is rahima for
the believers. Then our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Listen to this Hadith, there is
not a single believer upon whom the play comes, and he remains in his land patient, expecting the
reward from Allah subhanho wa Taala knowing with full certainty that nothing happens to him, except
if Allah wills it to happen to him, except that that person will get the rewards of a Shaheed this
		
00:08:33 --> 00:09:17
			hadith in Sahih Bukhari and half of the bin hedgerow, the famous commentator of emammal Bahati, so
he has been hedger said, this hadith is actually broader than the one who dies in the plague,
because what does the headies say? Listen to it carefully. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said, no one remains in a land of plague. Patient saw Dylan more tests even expecting Allah subhanaw
taala to reward him. Yeah, and the more he knows with certainty, that nothing will happen to him,
except whatever Allah has decreed. Whoever remains patient expecting a large reward full of faith,
that person shall get the reward of the Shaheed and have further been hedgerow says, Therefore,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:10:00
			anyone who is alive during the time of a plague, and demonstrates these three characteristics, even
if they pass the plague, even if they finish the plague alive. In shout Allahu taala. They will get
the rewards of a Shaheed Muslims, dear brother and sister, don't you want to get the rewards of the
Shaheed well Allah has given you this chance Allah has given you an opportunity. This is a gift for
you and me. This is a gift what we do in this plague how we react to this play our faith during this
play our eemaan our sub our subject as the Hadith says these three things if they are good and fine,
then in shout Allahu taala we will get the rewards of a Shaheed if we die, and even
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			If we don't die, we'll get a longer life and we'll still get the rewards of Russia heat. What a
beautiful gift from Allah subhanho wa Taala How can we not accept this gift, and then try our best
to honor it and then get the rewards of a Shaheed. And so we console ourselves dear Muslims that
Allah has chosen us, Allah has chosen us to get the rewards of the Shaheed, some of us will actually
end up passing away in this play. We've already had cases across the globe of people, Muslims and
non Muslims that of course, the plague affects everybody, some of us we're going to end up meeting
our Lord, within this play, some of us are going to get through this plague, all of us have the
		
00:10:37 --> 00:11:14
			opportunity to get the rewards of a martyr. And that is really our goal. And so we begin with this
theological, you know, response before we get to the fifth one. And by the way, before I jump into
the fifth of loosen, and the fifth of janaza. Also, and it's not it's an awkward issue, to say it's
a morbid thing to say, but it needs to be said, especially to those that are at a high risk that it
is appropriate for all of us, especially those that are high risk to sit down with their family
members, and have the very awkward conversations about what if we don't go through this display what
is going to happen if we move on. And I remind myself and all of you to be firm and strong and to
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:50
			show your Eman and to explain to your loved ones that hey, whether I'm here or not, Allah will take
care of you. I don't take care of you. Allah is the rub. Allah is the one who is molecule mulk.
Allah is the one who has reserved Not me, not you're not you, anybody, Allah is not a zap. And so if
I am not here, then the one who took care of you while I'm alive will take care of you when I'm not
here, and you give them the advice that you want to give them. This is also the time to cleanse your
heart of any hatred of any issues that you might have had. This is also the time to write your wills
down. We don't want to make life more complicated. You know, already, there's going to be tensions
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:23
			for those of us that move on, we want to make things very, very simple and easy. We also want to
make sure that our medical issues are very clearly communicated to our loved ones, especially for
example, do we want to be intubated or not? Or what is going to happen to foreign life support? You
know, we have to these are choices, very difficult choices. And we don't want our children, our
loved ones deciding this. We want to just make up our own decisions and communicate to them before
that time comes so that they can say, hey, look, this is what he or she wanted. And let's honor
their requests. And these are conversations you have to have. And these are thoughts that you have
		
00:12:23 --> 00:13:08
			to have as you communicate to your loved one. So with that long Prelude, now we get to the issue of
loss and janaza and realize that we are now talking about the hosel in particular, of those who have
passed away because of this virus COVID-19 or the Coronavirus and of course, the issue comes the
problems of doing loosen for a body that is potentially problematic. And this is where we need to
understand that it's not just fear. It's not just Islamic law that is at play over here. Rather,
Islamic law is one aspect I'm telling you the fifth that's one issue, you also have to take into
account what the medical experts say how contagious is a corpse that is that is passed to it because
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:43
			of Coronavirus. You know, what are the pros? And I mean, what are the issues that we need to be
aware of from a medical and scientific standpoint. And of course, we also have to take into account
the laws of the land because in the end of the day, we are living in different lands in different
societies. And sometimes we cannot affect what we want. Because the laws of the state or the
province or the the government that were under they might be different than what we require. So
there are three different issues all three of them interplay together. I am not here to talk to you
about the laws, you know, best your countries that you live in, and you need to get the laws from
		
00:13:43 --> 00:14:26
			them. I am here to tell you that you need to get expert advice from two different people. Firstly,
the fifth, which is I'm going to teach you today in shallow data. And secondly, medical experts we
need to get the advice of medical experts and of scientists because and if you've been listening to
me for the last week, you know, I've been saying this you know over and over again that this is not
just an issue related to Fiqh, Islamic scholars are not the only reference that you need, we will
provide you one aspect of the equation, you also need to go to medical experts and to scientists and
to people who understand diseases and viruses and get their expertise. And the two together is what
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:59
			will help us form a judgment and I have to point out to you as well. And again, I've been saying
this for the last week and it has caused a lot of issues but you know this this this trial of the
plague this this this issue that we're seeing around us, it's actually showing us many things that
we we did not have frank conversations about and of them is that within the scholarly community we
do find you know, different understandings and different paradigms. And someone like myself, I am of
a paradigm that says Islamic knowledge has its role in place.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:42
			Modern science and the knowledge that we know from experience from empirical evidence also has its
role and its place. And these two knowledges should not cannot be in conflict with one another. They
are both brought to the table. It is not appropriate for religious scholarship to ignore knowledge
that is now certain. We are certain about what a disease is, at least we know that it comes from a
virus at least we know without a shadow of a doubt that diseases are contagious. We know how
diseases get transferred. Overall, we might not know every single detail, but we know that diseases
are inherently contagious for a religious person to come. And they might have great demand. They
		
00:15:42 --> 00:16:24
			might have great taqwa. And they say there's no such thing as religious as contagious. And really,
in religion, we're not supposed to believe in contagious diseases based on a misunderstanding of a
hadith for a religious person to say that we should not fear anything other than Allah subhanho wa
Taala. And anyone who fears the virus and takes precautions, this person is not a good Muslim, or
even worse, this person is a coffin. You know, we have to be honest and blunt here. I don't want to
be harsh upon you know the person, the individual, but I want to be harsh upon the mentality. This
is foolishness. Taking reasonable precautions has nothing to do with believing in Allah or not
		
00:16:24 --> 00:17:02
			believing in Allah, you can be the strongest man and still take reasonable precautions, and you can
be a kafir and still take reasonable precautions and you can be a movement and not take precautions
and you can be a coward and not take precautions. The two are separate. And our religion tells us
that we tie the camel and we put our trust in Allah subhana wa Tada. And again, I am forced to
continue to say this because we still have people who use the religion to preach ideas and doctrines
that are simply wrong. If you see what is happening in the world, sometimes it is religious
gatherings that have spread Coronavirus, there is a in Palestine and Philistine, for example, there
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:36
			was a large, you know, a gathering where some Palestinian brothers and Palestine was shut off, we
were hoping that at least one of the perks would be that because they're shut off the virus would
not enter But lo and behold, there was an Islamic gathering and a group you know, went out for their
data and their tablets and they went to this gathering and they came back and they entered Palestine
after having been infected and they spread this and the same thing happened in Malaysia The same
thing happened and this is not meant to, to to nitpick on one particular group, it's meant to
nitpick on the mentality, this notion that we only fear Allah, hence, we're going to do nothing for
		
00:17:36 --> 00:18:16
			the Coronavirus. You actually fear Allah and take precautions against the virus. Why is that an
either or, and Subhanallah this is, you know, the problem isn't just that these types of
understandings are harming people, they're literally fatal. Literally, they're causing the loss of
life. It's not just that there is also a bigger problem that needs to be said, when a person who
studies medicine and science and knows for a fact that there are viruses and that diseases are
contagious, and that we need to protect ourselves from them, then sees a person who exudes
religiosity, making statements that are not correct that are frankly foolish. many people's emotions
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:55
			are affected because they see Islam itself in what this person says. And they cannot differentiate.
And this is a problem from the person, no doubt about it. They should differentiate this person's
fatwa from Islam. But when this person sees many famous people that he looks up to many people that
that are trained in the Islamic sciences, and they are worthy of respect. I'm not negating that
they're good people. But I am saying what we see now is there's multiple camps within the LMR
community. There are those camps who believe Hey, you know what, Islam has a place and function. And
modern science has a place in the function, Allah azza wa jal created this world, he sent down the
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:33
			book, and the both of them are in harmony with one another, that is my paradigm. And then you have
others who are saying things that they are essentially rejecting what modern science says, and
they're rejecting what doctors say, and unfortunately, innocent Muslims, they sometimes look at that
group, and they presume the religion itself is saying this, and they end up doubting Islam or and I
have met many people like this, simply rejecting the faith because they could not separate
individuals with the wrong opinions from the religion. And they said, since these people speak in
the name of Islam, therefore, in their minds, Islam itself is in their minds, again, backward and
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:59
			foolish and whatnot. And that is why it's very awkward because when I say this, obviously, I
understand the people who look up to those earlier they read into what I'm saying, they're saying,
Oh, you are disrespecting, you are putting yourself up. And a lot of xojo knows Allah knows it's not
my goal. That's not my desire to appear in competition with those who are there. Many of them are my
own teachers, many of them I love and I respect undoubtedly, and I say this
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:40
			A lot is my witness are speaking from my heart I consider many of them to be more likely than me
more pious than me more better in Mental Hygiene than colon and HCA than me. But it doesn't change
the fact that what they are saying is just not correct. taqwa is one thing technical knowledge is
another, you know, piety is one thing policy is another. And what I am saying is that what we are
seeing of this Coronavirus and whatnot, these tensions that we tried to hide or sometimes surface,
these tensions are now being brought to the forefront. When you have greater Adama saying, don't
take any precautions, go ahead and do hosel with the body, go ahead and do and you have other saying
		
00:20:40 --> 00:21:13
			no, no, hold on a sec, we need to shut our massage. Now we have to take precautions. And in the end
of the day, dear Muslims, I cannot force you to follow any position it is up to you. But I say that
this tension has been around for a long time. In my previous lectures, when I talked about the
history of the plagues, I briefly mentioned some of the tensions in the past as well. And I continue
to say it is obvious, it is obvious to those of you that are connected to the scholarly class, that
you have fatawa that are mutually contradictory. You have fetters that are saying don't take
anything into account, just do everything. And then you have those that are saying, you know what
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:53
			our knowledge of science has grown, our knowledge of diseases has has gone much more than it was 500
years ago. And therefore, our knowledge of physics and our knowledge of shediac has to take this
into account. And we then formulate a position based upon both of these knowledge is this is my
paradigm if you accepted Alhamdulillah if not and hamdulillah. But I still say for the time being
err on the side of caution and then we'll debate this later on. In any case with this, let us now
get to Why did I bring all of this up? Because what am I saying? I am saying that listen to this
carefully. You cannot just come to me and ask me what is the filth of washing the corpse of somebody
		
00:21:53 --> 00:22:39
			who has died with Coronavirus? I am half of the equation. The other half of the equation, we need to
know what doctors tell us how dangerous is the corpse. I don't know how dangerous a corpse is, I
don't know the medicine or the medical issues about how contagious the diseased might be. And
therefore, you need to go to the specialist and get it from them and based upon what they say then
we will formulate the response put together. So with that in mind, let us give you the fifth side
and I will also share with you I was on a conversation today a national group of specialists
diseases and diseases of EPA of epidemics and also pulmonologists and also other doctors that are
		
00:22:39 --> 00:23:20
			specializing I actually spoke with a doctor that dealt with a dozen cases of Coronavirus as well
about this and so, I will share with you all that we have learned but realize my speciality is the
flip side. So, realize if there was no Coronavirus, and this irregular corpse it is obligatory to
wash the corpse This is something that is well known. It is wajib to the hosel of the corpse It is
hard to define To be more precise, and that is that somebody has to wash the dead body and it is a
communal obligation and it is obligatory because our Prophet sallallahu Sallam commanded every time
somebody passed away in his lifetime he commanded when the man pastor we're going for Hajj our
		
00:23:20 --> 00:24:06
			Prophet sallallahu Sallam said is the CEO who the man in was sudden wash him with water and with
perfume, the tree that is mixed in the water. And when his own daughter passed away, he said is a
seal now wash her three times or five times are seven times so he commanded the body to be washed.
And of course the default is that the body is shrouded in a particular manner, a way that anybody
who is trained in the funeral is known. However, we are now in different circumstances. And if we
learn from medical experts that the body is contagious of those who have passed away from
Coronavirus and that one could possibly get the disease. In this case, Sherry allows us to go to a
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:21
			different alternative than doing a proper lucid and this is something that is well known in
classical fitness, nothing new here. We find these positions in early Islam. It's nothing that we
have to change just because of Coronavirus. So,
		
00:24:22 --> 00:25:00
			first we begin if we are able to do a proper hustle the way that it is done. Then we go with that
now, what do the medical experts say? Well, I spoke with a group today and also we logged on to the
CDC, the Center for Disease Control and also we looked at the World Health Organization. And as of
yet and again this might change day by day week by week as of yet I have read and I have been
informed by multiple experts that if standard procedure is followed, and that is to wear what is
called PP personal protective equipment and the regular
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:40
			protocols are done. And they have special gloves and special mask and whatnot. And this is standard
procedure in these types of cases, that the transferability of this virus is really almost
negligible. That is something that is really it's not a risk factor. And this is what the CDC itself
says. And that is because the virus spreads via the the the droplets that are exhaled from the body.
And of course, when the body is dead, there are no drop this coming up. Now, the CDC does say that
if obviously protocol is not followed, there is a very, very, very small possibility that even the
body, or if you somehow get to the tissues or something, and it gets on you that perhaps it is
		
00:25:40 --> 00:26:20
			transferred. But that is if you don't follow protocol, therefore, as of yet, as of yet, and again,
this can change day by day, what medicine is telling us and what the scientists are telling us and
what the health ministries of our governments are telling us is that the deceased who has died from
the Coronavirus, if proper protocol is followed. Now what is proper protocol, those that are in the
field of washing corpses, no, and it is to where the PPP and to make sure that PP excuse me, and to
make sure that the proper gloves and masks and the the disposable suits are worn, if that is worn,
then insha, Allah to Allah, there should be no problem. Therefore, if we are able to get to that
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:58
			level, and you have the equipment, then the default remains, and that is that you do a proper
loosen, and you should wash the body properly, as per the methodology of our religion. And of
course, those who know how to wash the bodies, they should follow this procedure. By the way, I also
need to point out to you that given the fact that the number of deaths might increase in the next
few weeks or months, may I suggest communities think about getting young men and young women and
training them because we will need people in our communities to take care of this part of the fire.
And they need to be trained in both ways. That's why it's just training. You don't need to be a
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:32
			scholar to wash your body. Just half a day, an hour to two hours of training. You need to be trained
in both ways. Firstly, the fic of how to do a portion of the of the body and men wash men and women
wash them. And that's the general default. So you need to learn the filter of how to wash the body.
Then secondly, you need to be trained by medical experts. How do you put on the PP? How do you take
it off? How do you dispose of it? What is the procedures to follow. So that is two types of
training. And given the fact that our communities might face multiple deaths in the next few weeks
or months, we ask Allah for afyon protection, we need to be prepared and perhaps regular what we
		
00:27:32 --> 00:28:09
			have you know of our services might not do the job. So may I humbly suggest every community to be
proactive before it is too late. And for those in charge of the funeral houses in the Muslim
communities, the funeral parlors that they reach out and they get get volunteers and they train
people that are at lowest risk. And these are young men and young women who are healthy and don't
have any other issues and who are eager to to volunteer for this blessing from Allah subhana wa tada
or paid it's all fine, whatever the committee is able to do to get training. So we said the default
is to do wholesale and as of yet the CDC is allowing this Now, suppose in some areas, they say you
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:49
			cannot touch the body. And this might vary from state to state or place to place or suppose that the
funeral place has run out of protective gear, right, because that's another issue, then you don't
have protective gear. And in this case, you should not touch the body without protective gear. And
so we say from a Philippine perspective, you should not do hustle, and you move on to the next
stage, what is the next stage the next stage our scholars say, if you cannot do hustle, it is
permissible to pour water without rubbing without touching, you may simply pour water and our
scholars have said this in multiple scenarios of the past for example, they said that if a lady
		
00:28:49 --> 00:29:27
			dies, and she's a traveler, and she is amongst a group of men, none of whom are her Muharram then
nobody can touch her nobody can you know wash her body and so are scholars classical scholars that
in that case, you know she is simply water is poured over her without any rubbing without any
touching. And then she's put in the shot and put in so if you cannot do a proper rehearsal, we move
to level two, level two is pouring water and you can these days use your hose you can use something
from the air whatever you can simply, you know do a proper and you don't have to necessarily remove
the clothing and whatnot if that's something that is not possible to do. So that is level two. Now
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:54
			suppose the medical experts say or suppose in this particular case that we don't even have the
facility to do that we can then move to level three. So again, we're moving down here depending on
what depending on three things again, remember number one, what doctors tell us what the medical
experts tell us and as of yet we say also it is permissible if you have the equipment number two,
our own preparedness What if we don't have the equipment? What if we don't have this then we're
gonna move down and then number three, what our
		
00:29:56 --> 00:30:00
			the the local laws tell us because again, perhaps in some
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:41
			States perhaps in some vicinities the law will say that you are not allowed to touch the body at all
not even pour water on it so then we will move down according to what the law as well says so level
two we said was pouring water and at a distance even you don't have to rub level three which is
allowed again very explicitly and that is to do tell your mum to do tell your mom no water What if
the doctors say hey look you know water is what transfer because as of yet we think what we know of
the virus it is the water droplets that transferred and what if our doctors say and we don't have
the equipment for water also our doctors say You know what? The dry the dry body if you were at
		
00:30:41 --> 00:31:07
			least gloves that if you touch it, then you dispose of the gloves you should be fine. Then we move
to the third level and the third level will be tm mum tm mom, Mama romiley the famous Geoffrey
scholar says in the heightened mortage woman tags the whole slew the fact dilemma he or the lady he
can ixtaca oludeniz What? What a wholesaler that ahora Oh, he filed a lawsuit what am you can have
to have food the human meant
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:53
			human, human human was our human whoever is not able to be washed with a hosel either because they
don't have water or because his body is in such a state that if you were to touch it, it would you
know decay or whatnot, or one is worried about the washing person the one who's doing the hustle and
that he might get harmed. In this case, the young Moon is done upon the body. My own teacher Sheikh
Mohammed Masada Shanthi, whom I studied with in his military for 10 years remember that I was able
to study with him Shashank clearly says that whoever has a disease that the corpse has a disease
that we are worried that it might transfer over to the one doing the hustle in this case and if the
		
00:31:53 --> 00:32:30
			doctor is telling us that it is possible that the one washing might get the disease in this case, if
it is possible then tm mum is done and therefore if you cannot do hustle living or dead then you
move to tell your mum whether you're alive whether you're dead to me was this substitute. So what do
you do then you will wear your gloves because again this is Coronavirus you cannot have you know
without gloves and again speak to the doctors not just me remember don't just listen to this lecture
and do something listen to this lecture and then also speak to the medical experts of your vicinity
about this disease. What I'm telling you if you cannot do hosel and you cannot pour water stage
		
00:32:30 --> 00:33:05
			three you do Tambo How do you do term you're allowed to wear gloves in this case it doesn't have to
be with the bare hands and you will put it on any Sandy surface any you know even the the the table
or something it's symbolic because the end of the table was symbolic. You will do that. And then you
will rub the face and then rub their hands so you fear the lawsuit You're the one doing the lawsuit,
you will rub the face and then rub their hands and that's it. Then dispose of the gloves the way
that the doctors and the medical experts tell us that is the third stage that is to your mom. And so
if you can not do hosel and you cannot pour water than you will do tell your mom Now suppose the
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:46
			doctors say or the body is in such a state where they are you are told you cannot even come close to
it. And suppose because it might be very possible. In some places we might run out of the protective
gear. We might not have gloves, gloves. And by the way dear Muslims already in hospitals already and
we are in week one so panela we are in week one. And we are running out of gloves. We're running out
of the masks as you know in America, in America this great land this land that is supposed to be the
pinnacle of of technology and whatnot. in week one we are running out to ventilators and we're
running out of masks. What do you think is going to happen in week five and week 10 we asked a lot
		
00:33:46 --> 00:34:28
			for saliva and alpha. So it is very likely that in funeral homes and and and and and clinic
cleansing facilities, we might run out to protective gear and then we will be told you cannot touch
the body at all even for tempo. And you might not have gloves to do that. In which case if that is
the case, then we go to level four which is that they will bury the body in a special sealed bag.
And in this case the body will be buried as is without hosel and without tambem because that was
what the law and what the people told us and there's nothing that we can do. What are you calling
for low enough son in law we saw her that Allah does not place the burden on a person more than what
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:59
			he or she can bear and therefore any person whom we are told by medical experts that you know the
situation now whether for the facilities whether it because we don't have it whether because of the
body, if we are told that you cannot even come close to the body and the body is going to be in a in
a in a bag. A special bag that is you know the there for the bodies the zip bag that is seals
everything. In that case, the body shall be buried as is and no one is sinful and it will be deemed
that
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:44
			rights have been performed, and no one should feel that something was wrong. Because this is as the
Sherry says, This is the principle of fifth, please, please memorize it, the shediac the principles
of fixate could LML Balkan amuru It tests are, the more difficult the situation becomes, the easier
it becomes the more difficult the situation, the easier the shediac becomes. And therefore, if we
are not able to do any of the above, we are forgiven. Now question. What if there's the body bag?
And then we are told you can do whatever you want outside of the body bag? Should we pour water? Or
should we put some sand on the outside of the body bag? The response is that in reality that does
		
00:35:44 --> 00:36:22
			not make any sense. None of the scholars of the past said that you should wash the body that is
already shrouded in a way that no water comes in. When they said pour water. They said that pour
water over the clothes that a person wears because the purpose of the lesson is you actually wash
the body. If you cannot wash the body, then the purpose is a type of tm. Suppose the body is fully
covered up. I mean, I personally would say there is really no need to do anything. However, if
somebody says that even symbolically just to attain a mon, there is no need for water by the way,
because there's no hosel It makes no sense to pour water on a waterproof zip locked body back. But
		
00:36:22 --> 00:37:01
			if a person wants to do tm over the body bag, I would not say this is something that needs to be
done. But if somebody does it for the sake of their heart or whatnot, I would not object to that
either. But really nothing needs to be done and the body may be buried as is, and there is no sin.
Nor should anybody feel that my relative didn't get the full thing. No, the Shetty allows this to
happen. And our books are filled mentioned such scenarios, no problem whatsoever. So this is with
regards to the reversal of the body. Once again, number one in sha Allah still we can do also, if we
were PP, and we follow proper protocol, if you have the proper protocol, do it. If you can't number
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:35
			two, pour water from afar from above anywhere, and then do the shouting, if you cannot do that,
number three wear gloves and do to mom, just the face and the hands. And if you cannot even do any
of the above the number four and they say you have to wrap the body up and have the specialist
routing and whatnot. And of course, they have a special bag of course this is not the Islamic
shrouding then you forget you are forgiven and you bury it as is Allah will forgive you and the
person has not No, don't feel that you have done anything short because Allah does not burden you
more than you can bear. Okay, the next issue now that is the host of the next issue is janaza.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			Genesis Allah as for Genesis, Allah
		
00:37:39 --> 00:38:18
			Alhamdulillah there is much more ease and leeway over here. And that is because journalists
Alhamdulillah even in in classical field, we don't need to redo anything or rethink anything that of
course, why is it an issue now that in our times, we are not allowed to call for congregations that
is against the law in many states, including the one I'm in right now. You cannot have more than two
people, you know, come together. So technically, you cannot have 510 15 people come and pray janazah
even though maybe a few people, the family members, they might be allowed to go and bury, but there
should be no issue with genetic pray. Why? Because janazah prayer can be done anywhere, with any
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:58
			number of people that hamdulillah janazah prayer can be done anywhere. You don't have to be in a
particular place where the body is washed, you can do janazah right there no problem. In fact,
according to many of our early scholars, and this is a position that I also follow, it is
permissible to do janazah even without any excuse inside the graveyard in the moon there says that
not fair the famous student of Omar Nasir mentioned that the wife of the process of Arusha and Ole
Miss Salama The both of them their janazah was prayed in genital buckling buckling a lot of their
janazah was prayed and there was no Coronavirus there was no plague but the janazah was prayed
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:39
			inside Dr. Abu hurayrah came and he led the Salah in front of the other in Bombay alojado. And even
Omar was also present over there and didn't say anything. And normally the disease the grands, great
grandson of America also did this as well. And this is a position that I follow and many scholars
follow no problem. If you cannot do the genetic anywhere else. You do it at the grave site or at the
place where the body was washed. All of this is allowed. So you may do janaza inside the grave and
you cannot praise sila, and so now is like Roku and sujood you cannot praise Allah inside the
graveyard but selectel janaza is not the type of solid that is prohibited inside the graveyard. If
		
00:39:39 --> 00:40:00
			you need to whoever is there, you know the brother is there the friend is there the family is there,
whoever is there, they may do the janazah wherever it is possible and this doesn't need a new filler
photo that is Islamic photo as well. janazah does not have a minimum number. Now of course we want a
large janazah but we are not allowed to
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:45
			Make a call and call people as you know, and it is foolish to do so it really is it goes against the
goals of the shediac to do so. And therefore, the janazah will take place with whoever is there. If
it's even one person, the one who's washing the body, then even that one person can stand and simply
do the job. And that will be considered a legitimate Salatu janaza janaza does not have a minimal
number, nor does it have a place that it needs to be done. Now, the other thing as well, that we
need to discuss is the issue of janaza. Idaho origin as in absentia, because what if family members
could not come and there and this is already happening in a number of countries. I know, for
		
00:40:45 --> 00:41:26
			example, in England, where family members were told that they cannot even you know, come in large
gatherings even to the graveyard and only small numbers could come How about the rest of the family
members? How about the rest of the friends? What should they do? Well realize that, once again, we
don't need any new footwear or new fit over here, the Shafi method and the hem belly method and many
relevant including Amanda shokan. And others, they said that Jenna's Island ha, is something that is
allowed without any excuse. So what about when there isn't excuse? How about then? So what is
Jenna's either law? It is reported in the amount of Bahati that when Naja she passed away who was in
		
00:41:26 --> 00:42:15
			a joshy. The joshy was the governor or the ruler or the king of Abyssinia and Naja, she passed away
in a faraway land. And our profit system was informed by God that Natasha passed away. And the joshy
passed away, Abby senior, the Profit System announced in the masjid of Medina, that your brother in
a joshy has passed away, and we will do janazah for him. And so he lined up the people and they did
so that'll genizah even though no joshy his body was where avicennia and from this the humbly school
the Shafi school many of them they said this clearly shows that if you want to do janessa Island
Hall if you can do so, and this is without any excuse, imagine now when loved ones are dying and we
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:50
			might not be able to pray, what will the family do? We say to them, no problem inshallah tada in
this time of distress and difficulty followed the position that so many Roma said even if you're not
hungry or chef, in my opinion, in this case, it's no problem. You know, you may do salata, janaza
and alive, which means wherever you are, you gather your family and friends don't have a large
gathering, whoever is there don't call people are supposed to be in social isolation. Whoever is
living together all the family and friends individually in their houses, they can stand face to
table and they will do one person to be the Imam and the others behind him. And they will do tech
		
00:42:50 --> 00:43:25
			build for tech the robots and then they will say setup article, somebody from the first tech bureau
will be certified to the second tech bureau will be the Salah Ibrahimi, Aloma said Allah, Mohammed,
Ali, Mohammed, the third tech Veera will be adapted for the diseased and if you don't know the ones
from the sooner than say anything from the heart, just make dua for the disease. The fourth Kabira,
Robin, Jr, has an orphan Africa has an orphan edible now. And then you will make the sellout on both
sides or on one side, both of these are permitted and then the Salah is over, there is no record,
there is no sujood, you have to do and face the Qibla. And that is it. And so so that the genocide,
		
00:43:25 --> 00:44:02
			aloha is something that we should be aware of, and perform for those amongst us who pass away, and
we cannot physically be there for them, J. So this, we talked about hosel, we've talked about Salatu
janaza, we also need to get to the issue of the burial itself. And again, ideally, as we mentioned,
as I mentioned, the people who study Islamic fifth and the people who know this, they know that
there's a particular shroud, and there's a particular mechanism, if we're able to do this, this is
sooner, by the way, it is not wajib if you don't have the shroud, even in regular circumstances, as
long as the body is covered in some manner, and that is the bare minimum. So if we're not able to
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:37
			have the five or seven trousers, if we're not able to have the white and the way that it is
typically done, that is not wajib. And there are many times in history, in fact, even in the Battle
of multiple people passed away, and there wasn't even enough cloth to cover them up. So as long as
something is covered in the body, and these days, we have the body bags and whatnot. So that is not
going to be an issue. However, another issue might come, can we bury multiple people in the same
grave, especially if the number of deaths increase, and we don't have space? What can we do then
realize that once again, we don't need to reinvent fifth and hamdulillah. Our fifth has discussed
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:59
			these issues many many centuries ago. And we know that even in the time of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam even in the time of the Prophet solo Selim that some people in the Battle of have
heard too many people passed away. And so the profitsystem said bury two or three people together as
many as you can. And so in one grave, multiple people were put there is no problem whatsoever.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:42
			In this regard, and this is something once again, that goes back to, again, it doesn't need any new
HDR, if the situation gets difficult and we don't have space or it becomes logistically difficult to
keep on burying, you know, digging and burying and, you know, dear Muslims plagues always brought
about this issue in Islamic history, every time there was a plague, there were some problems with
burials and our scholars are reluctant for the time no big deal it happens, what can you do? So, if
and we seek refuge, but if the number of deaths increased, such that we will not have the time or
the logistics are the energy or the space to have every single person buried in one grave? No
		
00:45:42 --> 00:46:11
			problem our shredding allows this even in the Battle of offers and by the way, the Battle of boyhood
they had the time, but it was just time consuming energy and the process allowed people two or three
people to be buried in the same public. So, how about now when we might not have that you know, the
luxury So, no problem multiple people may be buried in one grave if the situation calls for this. I
want to also finish up with some other related issues as well. Now that we are talking about
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:56
			the fifth pertaining to the the Coronavirus as well, and that is that, okay, what if the person is
being buried? And you know, the family is back at home, and they cannot see the burial? Is it
allowed for me to take my iPhone or something like this and simply show the families show the, you
know, the wife or the daughter or the children? Can I show or anybody can I show them the burial
procedure? And is it going to be something that is held in Islam? And the response is that yes,
there is no heritage whatsoever. There is no sin whatsoever in broadcasting, the funeral procession
and the funeral burial live to family members as long as Islamic decorum as long as dignity is
		
00:46:56 --> 00:47:34
			observed. In and of itself. There is no shutter a prohibition about broadcasting it. But obviously
we remind the family remind the people that what they say has to be something that is acceptable to
Allah subhana wa tada and that they don't, you know, do things that are prohibited, which is like
wailing for the dead and saying things of a nature that are an Islamic as well. Now that we're
talking about, again, all of these issues pertaining to Coronavirus, and of course, the main thrust
of today's issue was about was about the foreclosure now isn't the focus of of funeral prayers but
because we're talking about this, that is also quickly talking about one or two other issues before
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:36
			our time runs up.
		
00:47:38 --> 00:48:28
			related to the fear of Coronavirus the fifth of the times of Coronavirus one of them is the fifth of
June masala and what is to be done for Jew masala. And I want to read to you the fatwa that the
fifth Council of North America which is the oldest body of fifth councils in North America is the
first body that was formed for the for the issues of filth pertaining to North America. And I'm very
humbled and honored to be the least really person on there but 100 I'm a member of the fifth Council
and today we convened online and we unanimously agreed to a fatwa pertaining to the prayer and the
funeral and what I have just said to you, by the way, is essentially an explanation of that fatwa
		
00:48:28 --> 00:49:14
			for the funeral. I will now read to you from the fifth counsels official fatwa about the prayer when
it comes to this situation of the Coronavirus. And the fifth Council has said that given the
extenuating circumstances surrounding the coronavirus crisis, the fifth Council of North America
convened online and has unanimously issued the following statements regarding Friday prayers and
communal sign up the fifth council states the suspension of the communal prayers in the messages and
all religious activities in person is a necessary matter in light of the overall goals of the
shediac. And not only is there no sin in doing so, rather, it is sinful to flout such regulations
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:58
			and to bring risk to oneself and to others of the primary goals of the shed era is the preservation
of life. And this band of social intermixing is not a ban on the Salah, which is for the individual
obligation, but rather a ban on the communal prayer there's so that to Gemma, which according to the
majority of Roma is not for dying and can be lifted for many reasons including slight hardship. For
example, if there is rain, I will process them said pray in your houses. So the ban is not on Salah.
The ban is on communal sila and there's no problem. In fact, the fifth Council says to proceed
without caution in the lands where it has been banned is in fact sinful and the fifth Council says
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			this suspension should remain
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:40
			Until medical experts give indications that it can be lifted. The field Council of North America
says listen to this, this is a matter for medical experts to assess not religious authorities. And
this is what my paradigm is. We as people trained in and intercede and in Hadith, and in theology
and in the classical sciences, are not the people you should be coming to, to ask us about when the
band should be lifted. And when we can have Jamaat again, that's not my forte, it's not what I have
studied, when the medical experts tell us that it is dangerous for people to be intermixing together
in this matter, that we have to say, we hear and we obey, we are not experts in this regard. This is
		
00:50:40 --> 00:51:24
			something goes back to them not to us. This is what the fifth Council says and what I believe. The
third council then says, while inperson activities should be suspended, religious lectures and all
other classes and even hold the best sermons can and should be delivered online and distributed to
the community. We advise every community that it should be connected with its rigid religious
leaders during this time of crisis. And communities should do their best to maintain some semblance
of activities online. In other words, we advise all masajid that have had communities in the past to
continue their services to their communities online. So that Islamic education to BIA, Eman
		
00:51:24 --> 00:52:12
			building, you know, teaching them the car and to us and whatnot, it continues because we need always
to increase our knowledge. So the fifth Council says we advise all the services to continue online.
However, very important. Listen to this, the hotel, the Friday sermon that is being broadcast, even
if live does not take the ruling of a hot tub for those who listen to it from their houses. This is
because there is unanimous consensus amongst all the legal schools that an unreasonable gap between
the lines between the environmental lines, breaks a congregational prayer hence there is no Gemma
when many households are praying many miles apart as well. In particular for the Friday prayer the
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:59
			Joomla The default is that Joomla is done in major massagin and that Joomla is meant to gather Gemma
the the people Therefore, it is not permitted for people who are watching the sermon remotely to
then pray to the calf Friday prayers even if they are listening live rather those in their homes
will pray for record vo her in lieu of regular Juma meaning. You may listen to our live broadcasts,
you may listen to any holdover, recorded or live. But if you're at home, you cannot consider that
whole debate to be an actual hotel for you. In which case you will pray to look I know it's a
Islamic advice, which is happens to be a hold before it's being given for you at home. It's a
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:09
			religious advice and then you will pray for her with the sun with the Nuffield and for Ricardo and
of course you can pray Gemma for her for Raka. Now the third Council says
		
00:53:10 --> 00:54:04
			while some schools of law did allow three or four people to perform Juma with some conditions, and
hence according to those schools, it would not be invalid to establish jumong in individual houses
if these conditions and numbers were met. The fifth council does not encourage this practice unless
extenuating individual circumstances exist that make this option better than the other options. The
goal of the ban on social intermingling would be defeated if many juveniles began services began
other people's houses and quote, in other words, what the fifth Council is saying is that some
scholars very few allowed Juma with three or four people and if therefore, some family have
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:43
			Mashallah four or five, seven people living together, if they were to have a mini Juma in their
houses, and so the father stands up and his two sons are there and the mother or the daughter in the
back and they're all doing this. From the perspective of that very, very, very small group. This is
a valid room Oh, by the way, the majority would say no, the majority would say the concept of
Joomla. Like this doesn't exist because Joomla is done in massage. That is john mayer, and it is
done by downgrading the people. And this is the position I also follow. But some very small Mr. said
it is allowed. So if the family does this, the fifth Council says we are not saying it is invalid.
		
00:54:43 --> 00:55:00
			We're not saying it's Bartel. But we encourage families not to do this. Why for multiple reasons,
have them is that the purpose of Joomla is to gather people together and to come to the main
question of them is that generally speaking, the person who's not training
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:36
			In the hood, might not give as effective of a hook. But as the actual you know how they will be
giving of them is that once people hear that Oh, so and so is giving a hook, and it's my neighbor,
I'm going to come to I'm going to come to what's going to happen, instead of not having social
intermingling, we're going to have 50 houses where people are coming and driving to and people say,
Oh, I like tea, his son gave a hug. But last week, that was really good, more people are going to
come. The whole purpose is we don't intermingle. The whole purpose is we isolate ourselves to the
maximum possible amount. And therefore if we start popping up mini Germans everywhere, it defeats
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:49
			the purpose, dear Muslims, our religion does not tell us to act foolishly. And now that we know
various things that our predecessors did not know. There is no problem you see, and then we conclude
now because time is up.
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:55
			The issue comes that you have groups of people you have sometimes even Obama,
		
00:55:57 --> 00:56:43
			whom I respect I love, we really do not doubt their sincerity. They keep on coming to this point,
and they say, in the history of Islam, plagues have happened. And it is true, that must choose at
times reclose as a reaction, that there were no people to pray, people died. But never in Islamic
history, were must just closed proactively, never in Islamic history around the globe. Did people
say oh, because of the plague, because we don't want social mixing, we will close the massage. So
this group of ama is asking for precedent, it's called precedent is a technical term, and the law
student knows this. We don't want to be the first to do this. We want somebody to have done it
		
00:56:43 --> 00:57:30
			before. And I'll be honest with you, you will not find that type of precedent, you can try to hunt
for it. And in my previous lectures, I kinda sort of did try to throw out tidbits here and there,
but I'm going to be honest with you. You will not find any classical scholar that says for fear of
Coronavirus, for fear of the plague shut down. Jawad. That's the truth. But you see, those scholars
were dealing with the world as they knew it with the knowledge they had. And we thank Allah we had
them. We thank Allah for their efforts, and we build from their efforts. The question is, now that
we know what they did not know. And now that we understand very well to the level of certainty, you
		
00:57:30 --> 00:58:09
			see, that's the whole point here. This isn't knowledge that is in every call one knee, it's a
conjecture. It's a hypothesis. No, this is certain. We know that there are diseases that are carried
by this thing called the virus, we know virus spreads by the physical vicinity. Back in those days,
they literally thought there's some bad air around you, or they thought that whatever something
festers, and it comes read even seen it with my utmost respect for these types of Roma, as well read
the classical medical doctors, they did not understand plagues, even though they knew it was
contagious, but how they interpreted is different than what we know. Even the doctors of the past
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:20
			much less than odema didn't understand. Now the question here, you have two groups of scholars, and
the one group is saying, if there's no precedent, we're not going to do anything.
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:27
			I respect that. And that is something that we understand. But you see,
		
00:58:28 --> 00:59:14
			even as a respected I point out, that is not the way forward. I am not attempting to diminish the
the erudite knowledge of that group. I'm never attempting to cast aspersions on their Nia, but I'm
saying Islamic Fiqh needs to take into account the certain knowledge we have as well, and the real
fuckery the real jurist and I'm not amongst them, I'm the lowest amongst them above that paradigm.
But I'm a mere student of knowledge. I'm not claiming that I am the one to be let challenging move
to so and so and shift so and so no, they're all above me and Eamon and taqwa, but it's a clash of
paradigms. And I'm not the only one greater than the council's of Islamic scholarship around the
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:59
			globe. Many of them have hamdulillah. They are on this paradigm. And they are saying, now that we
know what a virus is, and how it spreads. We don't need precedent to form this position. Because
this is what common sense and Islamic law dictates. We want to preserve lives, not kill people, we
want to preserve our children and grandchildren want to live in this dunya and the archaea and our
shediac does not ask us to be foolish. What is being suspended is not sila. If it was the actual
setup, well, that's a whole different issue. It's not it is similar in congregation, it is coming
together in congregation it is physically touching one another. We're shaking hands for people that
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:00
			don't live in the same
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:36
			House, all of this should be suspended. And it is of the goals of the shediac. To do so, if you
follow this paradigm, and I'm definitely of that paradigm, if you really don't want to what can be
done? May Allah azza wa jal reward you for your sincerity, but it is not the right way and our
religion does not your religion and my religion does not ask you to be foolish, just like you
wouldn't throw yourself off of a bridge and say Allah is the one who will protect me. No, you don't
do that in the first place. You take precautions, you don't throw yourself off the bridge, even when
you're going to do something dangerous. Our Prophet system walked into the Battle of offered the
		
01:00:36 --> 01:01:13
			Battle of battle and the Battle of boyhood, he wore two armors to double protection because he knows
he's going to face a threat over there is anybody going to say that our Prophet says wearing armor
shows that he doesn't have to walk around in a law he doesn't have a mind and Allah subhanho wa
Taala you wear your armor, you have your sword, you train. And then when you have to face the enemy,
you fight with valor with courage, you don't just throw your sword away and say, Oh Allah, I want
Shahada and you die right there. That's not Islam. Islam calls for the preservation of life, the
preservation of intellect, the preservation of dignity, and the preservation of religion, all of
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:57
			these we preserved them. And therefore, I humbly humbly keep on reminding you listen to those who
also want to take into account other sciences and then bring forth a field that is conducive to the
sciences of our times. In today's lecture, I presented two basic issues with regards to the hosel
with regards to the janazah with regards to the signer and whatnot, and this takes into account what
we know of this world. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to protect all of us We ask Allah subhana wa
Taala to grant us imminent tofield We ask Allah to grant us wisdom. We ask Allah Georgia to grant us
the best of manners We ask Allah azza wa jal to be our Heidi to be our molar we have no molar other
		
01:01:57 --> 01:02:36
			than Allah subhana wa Tada. We ask Allah azza wa jal that is does not show us in our loved ones that
which will cause us grief and harm. We ask Allah azza wa jal that our children and grandchildren are
protected We ask Allah subhana wa tada that our loved ones all of them are protected. We ask Allah
subhana wa tada to live as Muslims and to die as mins and assure he is if Allah chooses us to die in
this timeframe. We ask Allah which has been given the rewards of a Shaheed and we ask Allah subhanho
wa Taala that the last phrase that we say in this world be the phrase of La ilaha illAllah Muhammad
Rasulullah and with this we come to the conclusion of today's q&a session. I will show all of you in
		
01:02:36 --> 01:02:41
			our next sessions jazak moolah Heron. salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:44
			Law
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:47
			is
		
01:02:48 --> 01:02:49
			in effect
		
01:03:03 --> 01:03:04
