While I agree that the lady cannot called be a practising Muslim,
I disagree that she should be called a hypocrite, to be a hypocrite is a very big issue and really nobody knows what is in her heart.
She may jus be a muslimah in error thats needs advising.

She needs to be told that she cannot marry a Christian and not even have boy-girl friend relationship with a Christian. This is Haraam in Islaam. This may sound strange to the christian boy friend but it is the truth.

Really I cant blame you the christian guy, its really not your fault

Hello,

Please I want to know if there is anything wrong with me marrying my mother?

Please I need the evidence for or against this from the bible, dont quote any man of God, I need just bible quotes.

Please lets restrict our quotations to only to the new testament because the coming of the christ Jesus has wiped away all the old mosaic laws.

@Queenisha

Control your imaginations and we muslims explain the meaning of this Hadith,

Yes the narration is correct, good and sound.

But in islam we understand textual evdences relative to other evidences talking about the issues. We dont just allow our imagination to run wild(I know this may be difficult for you to do).

Firstly, like my brother said suckling that makes someone a relative is suckling before the age of two, and we know this from the following narration


For breast-feeding to have the effect of making a child a relative (mahram), two conditions must be met:

(1) The number of breast-feedings should be five or more, because of the hadith of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: "When the Qur’an was first revealed, the number of breast-feedings that would make a child a relative (mahram) was ten, then this was abrogated and replaced with the number of five which is well-known." (Reported by Muslim, no. 1452).

(2) This should happen within the first two years of the child’s life, because of the hadith: "Harmalah ibn Yahya told us that ‘Abdullah ibn Wahb told us that Ibn Lahimah informed us from Abu al-Aswad from ‘Urwah from ‘Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr that the Messenger of Allah (Peace & Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) said: "There is no breast-feeding except what fills the stomach to bursting point." (Reported by Ibn Maajah, no. 1946; see also Saheeh al-Jaami‘, no. 7495

So we know all this the how do understand the text of the hadith of salim the freed salve of Abu Hudaifah.

Then we go back to the understanding of those present at time, Aisha believed that the ruling was general while the other wives of the prophet believed it was specific to that instance.

The opinion that most of the scholars after them hold is that it was specific to that instance and you know the were over 10,000 people alive at time who are considered companions of the prophet and who must have heard of this case and we have no other evidence that it was ever put to practice by them or any other generation of muslims after them then what suffices for them should also suffice for us.

We owe nobody any explanation because it was our prophet who said this like the Qu'raan told us "He doesnt speak from his desire"

About openly breastfeeding the freed slave Salim, no muslim worth his onions who ever say this because we and you christian no how the muslims oppose any form of indecent exposure. Since the how of the issue was not explained then we should only assume that it was done in conformity with what islam allows the muslim to do.

Let me start with a poser for the christians on this thread,

Can I marry my mother?[b][/b]

Please answer my question quoting relevant verses from your bible? preferably from the new testament?

Please answer as soon as possible and dont run away. Before I start calling the names of some christians on this thread

he will take the first 4, that is what the sharia states

Hello

In islam whoever makes a claim then the burden of proof lies on him.

We can continue to argue whenever someone makes a baseless point. Anybody can claim to be anything but the burden of proof will always lie on him.

so Mr @babyosisi (or whatever you call yourself)

There is no limit to the number of wives in a lifetime as long as they come in batches of 4 maximum at a time.
The number of women he can have is however endless.
allah entitles them to maximum of 4 wives at a time and an endless supply of women who his right hand posesses,which could be captured Christian girls .The other ill they try to hide is the Islamic concept of temporary (mutah) marriages which is more amongst the Shittes.

A man can have 4 permanent wives and contract temp marriages with women that can last from a one night stands to several years and the temporary women need not live with him,in other words glorified prostitution allowed by allah.
A man travelling from Mecca to Medina can have several temporary marriages in every town in between the only condition is that he must fulfill his manly duties with her at least once in six months or so

allah is indeed all knowing ain't he?

Please if you are what your onions bring proof for these statements.

Please bring proof and show the whole nairaland that what you have said is not just a figment of someones deranged imagination.

We will listen to you.

You wonder why many Nigerian moslems are gay?

And if you did mean Muslim, then bring proof to back up your statement else you remain quiet on this thread for the rest of your life. Because I will continue to haunt you for the proof of this statement whenever I see your post on this thread.

You wonder why many Nigerian moslems are gay?

I think you meant catholic? abi?

This is a principle, Please lets work with it

Nobody is perfect everybody has one shortcoming or the other but in Islam, the actions of Muslims is not a justification of the validity of that action.
Only the Prophet's action and the actions of majority of his companions can be evidence in and of itselfI(with explanation).

Want to know why Muslim security guards are the highest vendors of cigarette around!
The answer is that the average Muslim is not bothered about the intricate details of his or her religion, he only knows about salah and ramadan then hajj. He does not know about Zakat(which is also a pillar), he even mistakes zakat for sadaaqah. So you can really blame them, if they sell cigarette; of course the dont know any better.

As for the ruling on cigarette, we all know there was no cigarette during the time of the prophet unlike alcohol that has always existed, but in islamic jurisprudence there are principle which scholars will use to determine the legality of any issue. Because there are no clear cut evidence in the Quraan and hadith on cigarette most of what scholars say will be based on circumstantial evidence and because it is circumstantial evidence different scholars will understand it in different ways and therefore arrive at different conclusions. But the least I have heard scholars say about cigarette is that it is makruh (disliked) some say its Haram (prohibited). But the majority of the scholars are of the opinion that it is makruh (disliked) which means it is better avoided, discouraged, disapproved off etc.

So no good Muslim will want to be caught doing it sha i.e is the koko of all my grammar

thanks

Oga Queenaisha

We read the newspapers we see NBL Advert, BAT Advert and we dont have apply. and we are not superhumans, so its no big deal. its your understanding of the religion that matters

Even if all the Northerners were Muslims and they all smoke weed, that wont still justify anything. There is a clear difference between Islam and Muslim. What is Islam says is one and what the Muslims do is another.
Nobody is perfect everybody has one shortcoming or the other but in Islam actions of Muslims is not a justification of the validity of their actions in and of itself.
Only the Prophet's action and the actions of majority of his companions can be evidence in and of itself.

This hadith of the prophet serves as evidence against those who may want to take the position of the Christian, which says that what is prohibited is taking alcohol excessively
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, then a small quantity of it is forbidden.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhî (1865), Sunan Abî Dâwûd (3681), Sunan al-Nasâ’î (5607), Sunan Ibn Mâjah (3392), and Musnad Ahmad (5648)]


So this means that if a substance exists such that taking a bottle full of it intoxicates then taking a spoon full of it will also be haraam according to the more correct opinion.

Also note that the scholars say that taking minute quantities of alcohol mixed with other things is also permissible because the reason why alcohol is prohibited is because of its intoxicating qualities. So in future maybe if we now have something called beer and it does not intoxicate when large quantity is taking then taking little of it will not be haraam.

The ruling of the scholars is based on the understanding this The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, then a small quantity of it is forbidden.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhî (1865), Sunan Abî Dâwûd (3681), Sunan al-Nasâ’î (5607), Sunan Ibn Mâjah (3392), and Musnad Ahmad (5648)]


This is another fatawa explaining this issue further

[color=#000099][b]Question: In vanilla flavoring and many other flavorings there is alcohol. I am not sure of the percentage. These flavorings are used in icecream and many other processed foods and beverages. So can we eat these things?

Answered by the Fatwa Department Research Committee - chaired by Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî

Sheikh Salman al-Oadah states the following:

Alcohol is forbidden because it intoxicates. The exact percentage of alcohol in a food or beverage has no effect on the ruling. The ruling applies to the food or beverage itself taken as a whole and not to its composition. Anyway, such small percentages of alcohol generally do not have any affect on a person who consumes the product.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, then a small quantity of it is forbidden.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhî (1865), Sunan Abî Dâwûd (3681), Sunan al-Nasâ’î (5607), Sunan Ibn Mâjah (3392), and Musnad Ahmad (5648)]

As long as the food or beverage in question does not intoxicate even when large quantities are consumed, then it is not prohibited.

The only other possible objection that might be raised against such a product is that alcohol is considered an impure substance according to many scholars. However, it is an established principle in Islamic Law that minute quantities of an impurity that are completely submerged in pure substances do not make those pure substances impure. The quantity of alcohol in such a product is generally so minute as to be effectively non-existent as far as matters of purification are concerned.

And Allah knows best.

Like I said earlier it is not permissible in Islam to work in an Alcohol company. This is another fatawa from the scholars

[size=8pt]Working in an alcohol factory[/size]
An inquirer from Gambia is asking, what is the ruling on a Muslim who sells alcohol or drugs, can we call him a Muslim or not? What is the ruling on a Muslim who works in an alcohol factory, does he have to give up his job if he cannot find any other job?

Praise be to Allaah.

Selling alcohol and other intoxicants is a grave evil, and working in alcohol factories is haraam and is an evil, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Help you one another in Al Birr and At Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression”
[al-Maa'idah 5:2]

Undoubtedly selling alcohol, drugs and cigarettes constitutes cooperating in sin and transgression, and working in alcohol factories also constitutes cooperating in sin and transgression. And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al Ansaab [stone altars for sacrifices to idols, etc.], and Al Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.

Shaytaan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from As Salaah (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?”

[al-Maa’idah 5:90]

It was narrated in a saheeh report that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed alcohol, the one who drinks it, the one who pours it, the one who extracts the juice, the one for whom it is extracted, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one who sells it, the one who buys it and the one who consumes its price.

And it was also narrated in a saheeh report that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has made a covenant that whoever dies drinking alcohol, He will give him to drink of the mud of khibaal.” He was asked, “O Messenger of Allaah, what is the mud of khibaal?” He said, “The juice of the people of Hell” or “the sweat of the people of Hell.”

With regard to the ruling, the one who does this is a sinner and an evildoer by so doing; he is lacking in faith and on the Day of Resurrection he will be subject to the will of Allaah. If He wills, He will forgive him and if He wills, He will punish him, if he dies before he repents. This is according to the Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, Allaah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills”

[al-Nisaa’ 4:48]

This ruling applies if he does not regard that as being permissible. If he does regard it as being permissible then he is a kaafir by doing so, and if he dies he should not be washed or the funeral (janaazah) prayer offered for him, according to all the scholars, because by doing that he is disbelieving in Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

The same ruling applies to one who regards as permissible zina (adultery), sodomy, riba (usury) and other things which are unanimously agreed to be haraam, such as disobeying one’s parents, severing ties of kinship or killing a soul unlawfully.

But if a person does that or some of that knowing that it is haraam, and knowing that he is disobeying Allaah, then he is not a kaafir; rather he is an evildoer who will be subject to the will of Allaah in the Hereafter if he does not repent before he dies, as stated above concerning the ruling on one who drinks alcohol. And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Maqaalaat Mutanawwi’ah li Samaahat al-Shaykh al-‘Allaamah ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him), vol. 4, p. 433

Muslims all over the world face tough challenges like this one in their every day life, so I ask Allah to make it easy for us to make sacrifices Amin.

Things like this are easier said than done but that will not stop me from saying it The blunt truth is that nothing can make anything impermissible in Islam, permissible except in a case of necessity.

There are many other options for muslims concerned about their hereafter. One of such options is doing jobs that are menial, yes doing menial jobs then being patient until Allah brings something better.

Let us know that the life of this world is too short to waste for the hereafter that is everlasting. And who even says that if you are patient with a small job now Allah will not bring something better for you in future before you die. Nobody knows tomorrows.

The Prophet of Allah (May Allah mercy be upon him) was reported to have said in authentic Ahhadith that a believer will not have the certainty of faith until he believes that what will hit him will never miss him and what will miss him will never hit him.

The prophet of Allah (May Allah mercy be upon him) also said that if all creatures on earth(Man, jinn and animals) where to gather to benefit a man they will not be able to benefit him except if Allah has written it for him. and if all creatures on earth(Man, jinn and animals) where to gather to harm a man they will not be able to harm him except if Allah has written that for him.

The prophet of Allah (May Allah mercy be upon him) informed us that 60,000 years before the creation of Heavens and Earth Allah created the Pen and HE told it to write, the Pen asked HIM what should it write, Allah told it write everything that will ever happen and the pen wrote then Prophet said the Pen has been raised and the ink has dried.

Dear Muslim, why not be patient will what is permissible, continue to strive in that path and Allah will certainly suffice for you

Thanks


Note: All hadith quoted are paraphrased and not the exact texts and they are all authentic Insha Allah.

Hello or Assalam Aleaykum (as the case may be)

Well the simple answer to your question is that Allah has prohibited making alcohol. There are very clear texts on this in the Qu'raan. And the prophet said in an authentic hadith that "When Allah has prohibit something then the money gotten as a result for it is also prohibited".

Note: I am paraphrasing this statement of the prophet in my own words though they carry the same meaning

Since we have a clear text in the Qu'raan prohibiting alcohol and we also have clear Ahhadiths prohibiting money from anything haraam, then it will be very difficult or even impossible to find a difference of opinions amongst the scholars on this issue and remember that to go against a clear ayat of the Qu'raan or Ahhadith is sometimes tantamount to "kufr" (this not minor kufr, what I mean is kufr that takes one out of the fold of Islam).

Below are Fatawas from islam-qa.com treating a similar question

Why is it forbidden to drink alcohol?
Why does islam prohibit drinking alcohol even in small amounts? And what does Koran say about it?


Praise be to Allaah.

No doubt alcohol is intoxicating, and contains this substance that makes people lose their minds. It says in the hadeeth, “Every intoxicant is khamr, and every khamr is haraam (forbidden).” If this is the case, then alcohol is considered to be forbidden and to come under the heading of “khamr”(wine, etc.) which people drink for relaxation or enjoyment. Allaah has forbidden it and stated that it is a sin, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“They ask you (O Muhammad) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: ‘In them is a great sin, and (some) benefits for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit’”

[al-Baqarah 2:219]

If sin is present and it is great, then it is forbidden. Undoubtedly this alcohol is harmful to the mind and body, and Allaah has forbidden everything that harms the body and mind, and saps the strength. Everything that is harmful to a person is not permitted, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And do not kill yourselves”

[al-Nisaa’ 4:29]

“and do not throw yourselves into destruction”

[al-Baqarah 2:195]

And because this is an extravagant waste of money, an action of the spendthrift which comes under the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, the spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayaateen (devils)

[al-Israa 17:27]

Using alcohol in ways other than drinking it may be permitted if small amounts are used, such as mixing it with perfumes that are used on clothes or the body, because it keeps them from spoiling, and because it keeps the clothes clean. This is OK, but drinking it is not permissible under any circumstances.



Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen


Working for a company that deals with another that sells alcohol
Is it permissible to work for a company that deals with another that sells alcohol?.


Praise be to Allaah.

Selling alcohol is haraam, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al‑Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to idols etc), and Al‑Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.

91. Shaytaan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from As‑Salaah (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?”

[al-Maa’idah 5:90-91]

And al-Bukhaari (22360 and Muslim 91581) narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: Allaah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of alcohol.”

Al-Tirmidhi (1295) and Ibn Majaah (3381) narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed ten with regard to wine: the one who squeezes (the grapes etc), the one who asks for it to be squeezed, the one who drinks it, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one who pours it, the one who sells it and consumes its price, the one who buys it and the one for whom it is bought.

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel (2385).

With regard to the company that deals with one that deals in alcohol, if they help in that trade then undoubtedly they are doing something haraam and have a share of the sin, and it is not permissible for anyone to do any work that is connected to that. But if their interaction with those who deal in alcohol has nothing to do with the alcohol and is not helping with it, rather it has to do with other work that is permissible, then it is permitted to work with this company with regard to permissible work that does not help with haraam things.
