Is marriage engagement considered an oath?

Does the person who breaks the marriage engagement have to fast?

FriendChoice:


First and Famous the definition of Engagement in modern times differs with the Islamic way. Islamic engagement requires no ring and other recent innovations.

When two individuals love each other: The engagement (agreement) will be between the Male and the waliy (representative) of the female. "That I so so agree to give u my daughters hand in marriage" From then she cannot date another person and also the marriage must not be delayed from that time.

This is an agreement between two people, it requires no fast when breaking it. The male can simple walk done to the Waliy that I have now decided because of so so reason not to proceed with the marriage of your daughter, she can now look for another man"

To my understanding it requires no fasting but seek for more fatwah.

Jazakallahu Khyran. I found my answer and modified my previous post. Engagement is considered a promise and not an oat or vow.

What do you mean by the marriage must not be delayed? Is there a time frame for engagement?

FriendChoice:



I was listening to Mufti Menk He says "The moment the couples are ready get the nikkah done "

They must not live together " 3 years , 4 years when he completed his building, degree or whatever they can unit together "

I will search the video 4 u later.

Yeah, when people are engaged the man is still a non- mahram so they shouldn't be living together. However, I am not aware of a certain time frame for engagement. I know that couples are encouraged to get married when engaged and shouldn't wait too long. Perhaps, Mufti- Menk mentioned that to encourage getting married earlier rather than delaying the marriage.

FriendChoice:


perhaps you did not read my post clearly. Am not talking of this engagement but Nikah (marriage).

What mufti is saying is: For example two people love themselves and perhaps the boy is studying or he is building a House, let them get married. They will live separately despite getting married until he is over with his studies or house, instead of saying let's stay engaged and wait for 3 or 5 years after studies b4 getting married.

snapscore:


That's the same thing I am talking about. What I meant was that, although it isn't recommended for people to delay the nikkah, it is permissible to do.

Reading Star Signs
#Horoscope
Shaykh Salih Alaa ash - Shaykh [ ﺣﻔﻈﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ] said:
❝Whoever reads the page which contains star signs and he knows the star sign of when he was born, or he knows that star sign which is significant for him, and he reads the comments mentioned in that star sign then it is as if he has asked a soothsayer/fortune teller. So his prayer would not be accepted for forty days.
If he attests to it and believes in that star sign then he has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad [ﷺ] ... [the Shaykh continues saying]: and if he brings home newspapers which contain these type of things then it is as if he brought a soothsayer/fortune teller into his house.❞
[Tamheed Sharh Kitaab al Tawheed, (Page: 349) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

Ustaadh ‘Umar Dada Paiko: In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (All) praise is (due) to Allaah, Lord of the worlds. May prayers and peace be upon Muhammad (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam), his households and his companions. To proceed, the question is actually two questions in one. One part of it is an international scene, and the other one is coming back home, but I think they are one and the same thing. (This is) because in international scene, I gave an example; I used Palestine. (Clears throat)…I used that as an example; there are so many examples in the world, there is Afghanistan and so on and so forth. And locally, there is the “Jamaa’atu Ahlis Sunnah Li Da’wati wal Jihaad” in Nigeria. They are all saying the same thing that they have been pushed to the wall and so they are pushing back.

In the case of Al-Qaeda for instance, Al-Qaeda is saying it is fighting for Muslims who are being oppressed in Palestine. Like I have said, the Qur’aan shows that if Muslims are being pushed to the wall, they push back; they fight back. They fight in self-defense. The little problem that I see in what Al-Qaeda does in the international scene is that fighting back is not the duty of a group of Muslims.

It is supposed to be the entire Muslim Ummah under one leadership, deciding that they should fight back, and then the leader would appoint those who would do that on behalf of the Muslims, so that if there is any need to employ any tactic in fighting back, it is the leadership of course in consultation with the Shuroo committee that will take that decision. And then (they may) say we will fight back, and this is how we will do it and this where we will start from and so on and so forth. So Al-Qaeda as a group does not have that, because it is just a group out of many groups of Muslims. When it was under Taliban in Afghanistan, they have a Muslim government. They have leadership and there was the head of state of that country and so he (the leadership) in his country could fight back any such oppression if his government had agreed that they were supposed to fight back. But for one group to decide that the whole world should fight back and then to call people to fight is wrong Islamically. It is not right; that is not how it is done. If you leave it to groups to do that, of course they open the door to extremism because one group could interpret it in one way; another group could interpret it in another way, so it is not for groups. It is for the entire Muslim Ummah.

[s] Coming back home, it’s the same thing. It is just that the other one is international while this one is Nigeria, but it’s the same thing. [/s]

We have a group of young people who have come together to say every other person is wrong and they are right. There is something wrong in this thinking in the sense that it is not guided by the leadership of the Muslim Ummah in the country. Whether we like it or not, the Sultoon is the leader of all Muslims in Nigeria. He is the one that the government recognizes as the leader of the Muslims. And in fact, if you were to ask the generality of the Muslim Ummah who their leader is, more than 70% will say it is the Sultoon. So, such important decision should be left to him. The Messenger of Allaah (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Even if you think the leader you have did not attain his position the right way, as long as he become the leader of the Muslim, he becomes the only one that will be given the responsibility of leading the Muslim Ummah (in important decisions like that).” Like the decision of fighting back against those who have fought us. If the Sultoon says yes, we fight under him if he says no, we will be patient because the pious predecessors have taught us to all be patient and follow the leader even if we think he got to the place the wrong way. But as long as he is the leader, we cannot take some decisions that will affect the entire Muslim Ummah; we can’t take them based on our sentiments. Having said that, of course I would have pointed to the fact that it is wrong for any group to take that as its responsibility. But if the Sultoon…(unclear word)…and comes out to say Muslims will now fight back; (then) it is time to fight.
Unfortunately, in the international scene, we don’t have one person for the entire Muslim Ummah in the world, so it will be left to countries. Saudiyyah can decide that it is time to fight back so and so people; (I mean) the government. Afghanistan’s government can decide. Nigeria’s government can decide. Egypt government can decide. But it is wrong Islamically for groups to take that as their responsibility, because the blood of humans is concerned here and Islaam takes that seriously. If you kill one person wrongly, you have killed the entire world and you will be accountable to Allaah. So it’s a very serious issue that individuals should not take into their hands. I hope I have answered your question sir.

QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION WITH USTAADH SULAYMAAN AMUBIEYA (HAFIDHOHULLAAH)
Questioner: Please sir; is it permissible in the Sharee’ah for a woman who is knowledgeable or not, to gather the people (for the purpose of explaining the religion to them). Can she organize radio programs or television programs since it has to do with calling to the way of Allaah, and Allaah ordered both men and women to participate in it?

Ustaadh Sulaymaan Amubieya (HafidhohuLlaah): All perfect praise is for Allaah, Lord of the worlds. May blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allaah (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Assalaamu ‘alaykum warahmotuLlaahi wabarokaatuh.
All perfect praise is due to Allaah who made us Muslims. We beseech the peace and blessings of Allaah upon Muhamamad (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam); the one whom Allaah sent as mercy to all of us. Jamaa’ah, we beseech Allaah with His oneness to save us from the deception of Shaytoon.
Before the Prophet (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam) departed from this world, he informed us in an authentic narration that, “If I depart (from you), you will certainly follow the footsteps of those who were given the scripture before you….” In the Islaam with which Allaah sent the Prophet (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam), with authentic evidences, women are not permitted to do Da’wah on the radio. A woman who submits to the will of Allaah is not supposed to do Da’wah on the television. If she is knowledgeable; it is permissible in the religion that she teaches her female counterparts in the mosques, schools of Islaamic learning, (and this should be) amongst the women. It is not from the methodology of the Prophet (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam) for a woman to go to the radio and television stations (for the purpose of Da’wah), but many people may think that women are also participating in Da’wah (if they do so).
There is a statement we have always called our attention to, and it is this same statement that is affecting us (today). What is it? ‘Do not love the religion of Allaah more than Allaah.’ The One who says a woman should not go to the radio stations for Da’awah from the tongue of the Prophet (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is the owner of His religion. He is the One who knows how to save those who will be saved. Take care of your husband’s house; take care of your children, and take care of your husband too. Have you completed the rights of your husband? Do not turn yourself into that which you are not called (in the Sharee’ah). Do not later become what you are not supposed to be addressed with. Do not allow the devil to turn you into a stone which he stones away. The women are not from this (that is, the believers are not supposed to have these attributes). There are various ways by which you could be beneficial with that which you know of knowledge. Teach your female counterparts.

There is no evidence from the Prophet (sollaLloohu ‘alayh wa sallam) to support this affair. In fact the woman who asked the Prophet (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam) regarding the women that used to gather in her house till when it was time for prayer; Ummu Waroqoh; she asked the Prophet (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam) about how it would be easy for them to pray. The Prophet then appointed a person (a man) who would call the prayer in her place, and he would leave whenever he finishes calling the prayer. They (the women) would pray amongst themselves in that same house wherein they teach themselves knowledge. No woman came out (from them). But regarding all these things, the Prophet said that majority of what we haven’t seen before are things we would be seeing at the end of time. This is one of the signs of the end of this age. From the things which would make us know that we are in the end times is when women say they will do the work of the men in the religion. Wa ssalaamu ‘alaykum warahmotuLlaahi wabarokaatuh; and Allaah knows best.

udatso:

I find this reply very disturbing. Is this sheikh trying to tell us that members of boko haram are terrorizing both Muslims and Christians because they feel cheated or oppressed?

udatso:

Na wa for this sheikh oooo

Coccoh:


How can he/she be dealt with? Please kindly clarify more on this

AbdelKabir:


we thread the path of the past scholars, the science of Al-jarh – criticism

Gheebah becomes permissible, you warn against the stubborn person, just as how we warn against the likes of Habib Al-ilory, Jabata, Qaradawiy, onikijipa(the babalawo) and so on.

AbdelKabir:


on what do you disagree with him?

Coccoh:


And if after several warnings, what happens afterwards? We leave them?

udatso:


I think this is wrong cos there has never been a time boko are rams complained of being oppressed. I find this ridiculous cos they are are the oppressors and not the victim. They have always been.


Again this doesn't apply to boko haram. I might not know much about alqaeda and ol but I know bh have not been fighting as a form of push back or whatever he calls it.





Abdelkabir
This is the part I think you tried to clarify and I already don't have a problem with this. But saying bh attacks is as a result of been pushed to the wall is false cos there hasn't been a time these rams gave such impression.

udatso:

Many Islamic channels (radio and tv) I have seen or heard have females presenting, teaching or preaching. Are they all ignorant of this fatwa. I am us usually not the type of person that reject or accept a practice just because many people are engaged in it. The reply given above by the sheikh was more like his opinion and I didn't see any daleel to back it up
