Giving Charity (in Silver) Equal to the Weight of a Newborn's Hair

Shaikh Muhammad bin Umar Baazmool (May Allāh Preserve him) was asked:

It has been reported that Fāṭimah – may Allāh be pleased with her – used to give charity (in silver) equal to the weight of her newborn’s hair after shaving it on the seventh day. Is that a Sunnah she got from the Prophet – may Allāh raise his rank and grant him peace – or was it her own preferred way of giving (optional) charity?

May Allāh reward you and bless your time and deeds.

[A]: He answered:

Wa ʿʿalaykum al-salāmu wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh.   

Yes, what seems correct is that it was a Sunnah she learned from the Messenger – may Allāh raise his rank and grant him peace – to give the weight of the newborn’s (shaven) hair in silver. al-Albānī alluded to this in al-Irwá when he traced the sources of the narrations about the ‘ʿaqīqah, saying that it reaches the level of being ḥasan by supporting routes.  Furthermore, the narrations give this impression:

Mālik narrated in his Muwaṭṭa’, from Ja’far ibn Muḥammad, who narrated that his father said that Fāṭimah weighed the hair of Ḥasan, Husayn, Zaynab, and Umm Kulthoom, and then give its weight in silver in charity.

Also in the Muwaṭṭa’ is the report of Rabīʿah ibn Abī ‘Abdir-Raḥmān, who narrated from Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Husayn, that Fāṭimah weighed the hair of Ḥasan and Husayn, and then gave the weight (of the hair) in silver in charity.

And Yahyá ibn Bukayr said: Ibn Lahee’ah narrated to me that ‘Umaarah ibn Aziyyah narrated from Rabīʿah ibn Abī ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from Anas ibn Mālik, that the Messenger of Allāh ordered the heads of Ḥasan and Husayn on their seventh days to be shaved and the weight of it (the hair) in silver be given in charity. 

And ʿAbd al-Razzaaq said: Ibn Jurayj reported that he heard Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī saying: Fāṭimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allāh did not have a newborn except that she ordered the head to be shaved and the weight of it in silver to be given in charity.

I ask Allāh to give you success, blessings, and stability.

if she is with a face veil according to ibn baaz in one of his fataawi i read, he said there is nothing wrong with this as far as she is not with a non mahram alone. But without niqob, capital NO, because men will also watch this video and as a result might be carried away by the beauty of this woman, cuz her pretty face is on display. this is fitna for the man.

but in all its better for a man to do this, since there are still men, then there will be no need for women doing that. now we dont say women shouldn't give dawah, but give dawah to women, they are some things a man can't discuss with a mixed gathering of men and women when giving dawah, a knowledgeable woman can do this.

Can you really imagine yourself as a woman standing in a room full of men, with their eyes staring at you and you don't know what is truly on their mind, and not help but be overcome with a sense of extreme discomfort and anxiety?

This is even if you are wearing good hijab with face veil.

Although this is the case for a man who teaches women (given that he fears Allaah). So then what about a woman who has a more natural inclination to modesty and shyness?

Muslim women giving talks in gatherings where non-mahram men are present

Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him) answered as follows:

In our opinion this is not permissible except in cases of necessity, and on the condition that the men cannot see her. There should be a screen between her and them, and she should not soften her voice too much, because her voice may be ‘awrah. Women are not allowed to say Tasbeeh out loud in the prayer – if the imaam makes a mistake – instead they are commanded to clap [to draw the imaam’s attention to a mistake], lest their voices be recognized.


Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen
At this point we would ask the brothers who are organizing these lectures: what need is there for a woman to give a lecture in front of a group of people which includes men? We hope that the answer will not be because they want to prove that Islam does not oppress women or to prove that they are open-minded and enlightened! Or any other weird and mistaken reasons that can never be used to justify opening the doors to fitnah (temptation) which Islam seeks to shut firmly. We constantly repeat our advice: organize your activities within the framework of sharee’ah. And Allaah is the Guide to the Straight Path. And Allaah knows best.

https://islamqa.info/en/7576

What do you say about calling people to Allaah (da’wah) with regard to women?

shaykh ibn baaz may Allaah mercy be upon him replied as follows;

Women, like men, are obliged to call people to Allaah and to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, because the texts of the Qur’aan and Sunnah indicate that, and the words of the scholars clearly state that. So women have to call people to Allaah and enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, following the guidelines of sharee’ah, just as men are required to do. A woman should not be deterred from calling people to Allaah by feelings of anxiety or lack of patience because of some people looking down on her, insulting her or mocking her. Rather she has to put up with that and be patient. If she thinks that people are mocking her or making fun of her in some way, then she should pay attention to something else, which is that she should be the best example of observing hijaab in front of non-mahram men and avoiding mixing freely. She should be careful to ensure that her da’wah is free of anything reprehensible. If she makes da’wah to men she must do so whilst observing hijaab and without being alone with any non-mahram man. If she makes da’wah to women, she must call them wisely and making sure that her attitude and behaviour is above suspicion so that no one will criticize her or ask, “why doesn’t she start with herself?” She has to keep away from clothing that will distract people, and avoid all kinds of fitnah (temptation) such as displaying her beauty or speaking in a soft manner, for which she may be criticized. She must take care to call people to Allaah in a manner which will not harm her religious commitment or her reputation.

QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION WITH SHAYKH, DR, AL-FAQEEH, SHAROF GABDEBO ROOJI (HAFIDHOHULLAAH)

Questioner: Assalaamu ‘alaykum

Dr Sharof: Wa’alaykumu ssalaam

Questioner: As a traveler, if I am not allowed to lead the congregation, what should I do? (Secondly), if oro festival (a traditional annual Yoruba event which lasts several days in which men and women who have nothing to do with it are asked to stay indoors) is going on in a village and the people are ordered to stay indoors because the oro festival will commence by 7:00 pm or 7:30pm, can we combine both Solaatul Moghreeb and Solaatul ‘Isha?

Dr Sharof: All perfect praise is for Allaah. It is not from the Sharee’ah that you (must) ask the congregation to make you the Imaam because you’re a traveler. No. This is because it is wrong to put yourself forward in that manner. Although we have read the hadeeth of a companion who asked the Prophet (sollaLloohu ‘alayhi wa sallam) to make him the Imaam for his people; and we explained how it is permissible in that case. However, it is not from the Sharee’ah that you should ask them to make you the Imaam because you’re a traveler and they should pull their Imaam backward for you. No. If the one you went to visit knows you as a traveler and he is the Imaam, there is no problem if he asks you to lead the prayer. That is it. And we know that the prayer that you may be asked to lead as a traveler (in order to have the privilege of shortening your prayers) are Solaatul Zhuhr, Solaatul ‘Asr and Solaatul ‘Isha, because there is no difference (as to whether you lead or not) during Solaatul Fajr and Solaatul Moghreeb. That is it. And we have also said that it is not in accordance with the Sunnah for you to stay away from the mosque because you’re a traveler while the caller to prayer says ‘Come to Prayer’ on the basis that you want to shorten your prayer. This is because the caller to prayer is calling you and all other Muslims.


You said if what they refer to as ‘oro festival’ is going on and they say their oro festival will start by 7:30pm or by 7:00pm, can you combine Solaatul Moghreeb and Solaatul ‘Isha based on this reason? For what reason?! What concerns Islaam with Shirk? Why will you pray before the appropriate time because some people want to practice Shirk? Never! In this case, you will make it clear to the leaders of that village that if the Mushrikoon have their rights, the Muslims have earlier had their rights. Since you do not have the power to ask a Mushrik to stop practicing Shirk, it is not permissible in any way for the Mushrik to have the right of asking you to leave Islaam. You do not have the power to ask him not to engage in oro festival, what right does he have, under which law, that you shouldn’t pray any longer?

The people who are the leaders of the village should intervene. Although they do not have a religion (as evident from your question), and that is why everyone does what he likes. Ok, no problem. Everyone should do whatever he likes, but no one should disturb the other person. Allaah orders us to observe prayer, and (as you know) Solaatul ‘Isha prayer sets in at ‘so and so’ time; you will add an extra one hour (to the normal prayer time) because of the one who may not meet the congregation so that he can make use of it to observe his prayer. Why will you pray before its time? There is nothing like that! There is nothing like that!! If you haven’t got your stepsister in a fix, your stepbrother will never be careful with you. For this reason, you must not allow them to play you (regarding your religion) to the extent that a Kaafir will order you to pray Solaatul ‘Isha by 6:30pm because of oro festival when it is not that the government declared curfew.

Note this point; is there anything the Muslims do that require that the people shouldn’t go out? It is a nonsensical religion that will order the people not to go out. They claim they don’t see it (that is, oro); they don’t even look at it. What are they seeing; whatare they looking at? What is it that they are doing that mustn’t be seen? They had better accept Islaam and have peace of mind.

That is even a bit far. In some areas in Ogun state, they do this oro festival in the afternoon and ask everyone not to go out. In the afternoon! There is room for lies in those areas. There is room for lies in those areas in a mindboggling manner. Where are the Muslims in those areas? They may also be from the people who follow oro, is that not so? Imagine a Muslim named ‘Abioro’ because he was born on the day of oro festival. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah. That is it.

The Ruling Regarding the Person being Unable to Pay Off [his Debts] | Shaykh Muḥammad ‘Alī Ferkous
Question:
Is it permissible for a person whose debts are accumulated and has no means to repay them to get a loan from the bank? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon whom Allah sent as a mercy to the Worlds, upon his Family, his Companions and his Brothers until the Day of Resurrection:
As long as the debtor is insolvent and has difficulty in paying his loans off, then he is obliged- when the creditors ask to repay the loans and do not pardon them- to extract the additional money that exceeds his need and his family’s to repay the debts and leave only the necessary for livelihood. But, if he fails to repay them, the creditors have to wait until he will be in easy financial circumstances, for Allah تعالى says:

﴾ And if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time] ease. But if you give [from your right as] charity, then it is better for you, if you only knew﴿ [Al-Baqara: 280].
Indeed, every person who is in hardship should be allowed deferment [till his ease]. Furthermore, Muslim reported from the hadith of Abû Sa‘îd Al-Khudrî رضي الله عنه who said: “In the time of Allah's Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ a man suffered loss in fruits he had bought and his debt increased; so Allah's Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ told (the people) to give him charity and they gave him charity, but that was not enough to pay the debt in full, whereupon Allah's Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said to his creditors: “Take what you find, you will have nothing but that”.(1)
However, this ruling concerns the case of the person who has no money and of explicit poverty. What has to be done -in this situation- is postponement and waiting time of ease of the debtor. Allah عزّ وجلّ recommended in the previous verse to give charity to the insolvent debtor and made that better than postponing him. Rather, he is counted -with this consideration - among the poor debtors who deserve the obligatory charity [Zakât]. Therefore, the person should not resort to the bank to repay his loans because Sharî‘a (Islamic law) blocked all ways [that lead] to what is prohibited. In addition, the bank does not add to the debtor but worry and grief with its usurious loan and the bank will be added -at the end- to the list of his creditors.
Finally, you have to strive and fear Allah تعالى indeed:

﴾ And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah, then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent ﴿ [At-Talâq: 2-3].
We supplicate Allah to open for you the doors of good and blessings and to grant you enough of what He makes lawful so that you may dispense with what He makes unlawful.
The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah عزَّ وجلَّ; and our last prayer is all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and prayers of Allah are to Muhammad and his Family, Companions and Brothers until the Day of Resurrection.

I love this Dr sharafdeen for the sake of Allaah, he is one of my mentors when it comes to being blunt with the truth and being bold about it, may Allaah preserve him....Ameen.

I asked him a question(on phone) two weeks ago, about joining my salaatul zuhr and asr because I'm having an exam 3:30pm to 6:30pm, he said i shouldn't, why will i be joining salaah because of worldly exam?

with his reply I felt ashamed asking such question in the first place..

so what i finally did was to submit my papers and leave the hall at 5:30pm(the time for asr here elapses around 6pm) cuz what Dr sharaf said is true, no one will ask for my worldly certificate and what if i died in the process of pursuing the dunya?

I remember reading from reliable sources (more than one) that it is permissible to join zhur and Asr for exams but one should try to pray them in their time if he can.

I know this, infact i remember listening to a fatwa of shaykh ibn uthaymeen on this, and he said you can join the salaah. but its a matter of ijtihad and i sort of do not agree with that, hence why i asked another scholar to see if it is an ijma', you know at times some scholars might be wrong while the other is right, but in order to avoid errors do what is safer and what is clearer.

you might want to see this http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/index.php?page=showfatwa&Option=FatwaId&Id=86594

Yes. I agree it's safer to pray it in its time.

I just wanted to post it just so people wouldn't think it wasn't permissible.

I have looked at the link.

neither did Dr sharaf said its not permissible, he only said "don't" and gave a reason why, he obviously knows that there is no one opinion on this, hence his advice "don't".

AbdelKabir:

ok

Just to add.

When scholars differ on an issue that one isn't sure about, you can

1) Take the safer opinion
2) Follow the scholar who is more knowledgeable in the topic. If it's an issue of hadith, follow the opinion of the one who is an expert in hadith.
3) Take the easier opinion
4) Follow the scholar who seems more pious

It's always better to follow the first 2 and avoid the latter.

you should also take what is clear and unambiguous.

^^
That too.

And it's important to make sure one isn't fatwa shopping. This is when you only pick a Fatwa that suits your desires. If the truth has been made clear,then accept it even if you fail to practice it. It is not a quality of the believers to reject the truth.

Although we shouldn't criticize one another for taking the opinion of a scholar he trusts, even if we disagree with that opinion, when i say scholar i mean scholars that are known for salafiyyah, known to be among the ahlul ghurabaa, ahlul hadeeth, ahlus sunnah wal jamaa'ah.
