Carelessness of some Women concerning
Travelling by Airplane without a Mahram –
Shaykh Uthaymeen
There is a very regrettable thing with regard to
this matter which is the carelessness of some
women concerning travelling by airplane
without a Mahram.
They are very negligent in this matter: One
finds women travelling by airplane alone, and
their justification for doing this is that they
say that her Mahram escorted her in the
airport from which the airplane took off and
the other Mahram will meet her in the airport
at which the airplane lands, and that in the
airplane she is safe.
This justification is weak in reality, because the
Mahram who accompanies her does not admit
her onto the airplane, he only admits her to
the departure lounge.
It may also be that the airplane is delayed in
taking off and so this woman remains lost, or
the airplane might take off and then be unable
to land at the intended airport due to some
reason or another, and so it lands at some
other place, else and so this woman will be
lost. Or, the airplane might land at the
intended airport, but the Mahram who is
supposed to meet her does not arrive due to
one reason or another, such as illness, sleep or
a car accident which prevents him from getting
there, or something else.
Even if all of these things did not happen, and
the airplane landed at the correct time of
arrival and the Mahram who was supposed to
meet her was present, there might be some
man sitting next to her on the airplane who
does not fear Allah, the Most High and does not
respect the worshippers of Allah, and he might
be attracted to her and she to him, which might
lead to Fitnah (temptation, trial) and unlawful
deeds, as is well known.
So, it is incumbent upon a woman to fear Allah,
the Almighty, the All-Powerful and not to travel
except with a Mahram. It is also incumbent
upon women’s male guardians whom Allah has
made protectors and maintainers of women to
fear Allah, the Almighty, the Ail-Powerful, and
to avoid being negligent to those they are
Mahrim for, and losing their zeal and their
religion, for a person is responsible for his
family. Because Allah, the Most High has made
them a trust for him; He, the Most High says:
“O you believe! Ward off yourselves and
your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel
is men and stones, over which are
(appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who
disobey not, (from executing) the
Commands they receive from Allah, but do
that which they are commanded.”

This is a very controversial topic nowadays. While Bidya is reprehensible, the OP has presented irrefutable proofs from the Qur'aan and Ahadiith that permits congregatioal Dhikr. Unless, of course we want to keep decieving ourselves. If anything, we are yet to see any tangible prohibition of congregational Dhikr from the Holy Prophet. Its just that excessive shouting or shouting at all while doing Dhikr is not good and is detested.

Google translate? Naaah! I got tutored by scholars of the language. I'm still a learner though!

There are series of morphological arrangement in Arabic. Maybe you're ignorant of them, I'm sorry to say.

I deliberately arranged the words like that in the sentence to make it look more figurative.

التدريب is a noun there.

I shouldn't say لأنه again. It'll be a tautology to join a noun together with its pronoun.

You can review the sentence again. You'll discover that التدريب has taken the place of alphabet ه

Sorry but I would rather put it this way:" li annal ilm fii tadriib".
However, yours might also be correct. As you said, in Arabic different arrangements abound

PhunsukhWangdu:
Our teachers here are already planning on how they will fix schedules for us on that.

Henceforth let's endeavour to translate our conversations to English, let's start from there

kaybyte:
salamun alaykum brother emperee. You have just prove to us that you are a sufi by adding (RTA) to the name of sheikh ADAM which is meant for the companions of the prophet (saw) in his time.

And would anything be wrong with that?

kennyosein:
Do you think I should reply a person who called himself a sufi, I have argued with him on another thread he made it clear he is in the path of sufi methodology may Allah guide him to the truth.

Pls let's forget about @empiree and address the issue at hand. I am much particular about what you have to say on the Hadiiths of Aisha's dolls. Has an exception been granted to children's dolls? Also what do you say about the Saudi King's potrait that can be seen everywhere in Saudi and even those of Scholars seen on newspapers? Are they also wrong? Pls understand I'm not taunting you.

PICTURES IN ISLAM

@ OP, you have to understand that in view of unprecedented development in print and electronic media, particularly TV, Internet and Video phones, it is important that we understand the issue of 'pictures' in Islam in its proper perspective. I understand the opinions of Islamic scholars are divided on this subject.

Al-Qur'an takes precedent first. So let's review that.


(1) It is in Quran - وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَىٰ مِن بَعْدِهِ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُ خُوَارٌ ۚ أَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّهُ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلًا ۘ اتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُوا ظَالِمِينَ (Meaning - The people of (Prophet) Musa ( علیھ السلا م ) made in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of calf, (for worship): it seemed to low: did they not see that it could neither speak to them, nor show them the way? They took it for worship and they did wrong. (Al-Araf - 148).



(2) It is in Quran - وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِ عَالِمِينَ- إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا هَـٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلُ الَّتِي أَنتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُونَ - قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا لَهَا عَابِدِينَ - قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنتُمْ أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ (Meaning - We bestowed aforetime on Abraham ( علیھ السلا م ) his righteousness of conduct, and well were We (Allah - swt) acquainted with him. Behold! He (Abraham - علیھ السلا م ) said to his father (the brother of his father whom he used to call father out of affection) and his people, "What are these images, to which you are (so assiduously) devoted?" They said, "We found our fathers worshiping them." He said, "Indeed you have been in manifest error, you and your fathers." (Al-Anbiya - 51-54).



(3) It is in Quran - يَعْمَلُونَ لَهُ مَا يَشَاءُ مِن مَّحَارِيبَ وَتَمَاثِيلَ وَجِفَانٍ كَالْجَوَابِ وَقُدُورٍ رَّاسِيَاتٍ ۚ اعْمَلُوا آلَ دَاوُودَ شُكْرًا ۚ وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ ( Meaning - They worked for him (Prophet Sulaiman - علیھ السلا م) as he desired, (making) arches, images, basins as large as reservoirs, and (cooking) cauldrons fixed (in their places):"Work O'Sons of David (علیھ السلا م)with thanks! but few of My servants are grateful!". (Saba - 13).


The first Quranic verse says that in the absence of Prophet Musa ( علیھ السلا م ) some people made an image of a Calf [size=15pt]for worship.[/size] This act on their part was wrong.

The second Quranic verse says that some people in Prophet Ibrahim's ( علیھ السلا م ) time made some images and [size=15pt]worshiped them.[/size] This act on their part was wrong.

The third Quranic verse says that some people [size=15pt]worked as per the orders of Prophet Sulaiman ( علیھ السلا م ) and made images.[/size] This act on their part was right. Why? Because these images were not meant for worship.

The above Quranic verses confirm the fact that the intention behind making images has to be virtuous. Images made with bad intention (for worship) are disallowed and images made out of good intention are allowed in Islam.


AS PER AHADITH

DRAWING / TAKING PICTURES OR EVEN MAKING DOLLS (HUMAN OR ANIMAL SHAPES) FOR GOOD PURPOSES IS ALLOWED IN ISLAM

(1) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Ummul Momineen Aisha (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا) - "I used to play with dolls in the presence of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) would call them to join and play with me. (Bukhari).

(2) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Ummul Momineen Aisha (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا) "When the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) arrived after the expedition of Tabuk or Khaybar (the narrator is doubtful), the drought raised an end of a curtain which was hung in front of her store-room, revealing some dolls which belonged to her. He asked: What is this? She replied: My dolls. Among them he saw a horse with wings made of rags, and asked: What is this I see among them? She replied: A horse. He asked: What is this that it has on it? She replied: Two wings. He asked: A horse with two wings? She replied: Have you not heard that Solomon had horses with wings? She said: Thereupon the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) laughed so heartily that I could see his molar teeth. (Abu Dawud).


In Saudi Arabia we see the pictures of their kings hanging on the walls of every Government office, Universities and importance buildings. This is done as remembrance and a mark of respect and reverence to their kings. We also see all Saudi/Salafi newspapers publishing the pictures of their Ulema/people/royal family members freely on print media/newspapers/internet.

So the essence of the "science of hadith" quoted in the op making 'pictures' forbidden is in act of worship. That was the primary reason for it interdiction. Didnt Sheik bin Baz (RA) see pictures of great Ulama and Kings everywhere when he was alive?


Finally, it is in Hadith - Umar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) narrated : I heard Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended." (Bukhari, Book 1, Volume 1)

@kennyosein. pls what do you have in response to this @empiree's post?

Hkana:
Done with the service, Alhamdulillah. Though, I served in Niger state instead of the initial Adamawa state.

Thought to share with the house #OneFullCycle

Alhamdulillah. Welcome back from service. Really delighted you concluded safely. You cant thank Allaah enough oh. Barrakallaahu fiihi. Aamiin

AlBaqir:
Even Yusuf Ali revealed in his commentary of this verse that breaking fast at sunset is in "traditions".

Aaw bro albaqir. Ramadan kareem. I have just been reading Yusuf Ali now. Pls permit me to quote verbatim his commentary of the above phrase i.e ila llayl. "Till the night appears (in italics): From the actual practice of the Holy Prophet, this is rightly interpreted to mean: "Till sunset"."
I think the Prophet has actually showed us by his sunnah of breaking fast by sunset, what Allaah actually meant by 'ila llayl'. Wallahu A'lam

A Crucial Hadith Never Told




This short hadith lay to waste the doctrine of gender segregation or hijab in mainstream Islam. Paper.

Hasty conclusion.

Well I think its about sidelining and also muslims (concious ones obviously), not comfortable working in the corporate world.
Obviously, corporate world is a no no for sisters in hijab. Even some brothers are avoiding to work in the corporate world as they see the work setting as unislamic. There are several graduate brothers and sisters that have opted for self employment in the informal sector of the economy just because they feel the Corporate world as it presently oriented is not Islamic.

AlBaqir:
Ramadan Mubarak dear brother. Sorry brother. I saw your missed calls and intend to call back. Am just too preoccupied at work, and yet don't want to miss any available chance in this blessed month. This make me forget some things temporarily. Expect my call anytime in sha Allah. May Allah accept our little and unworthy ibaadat and help us to be more conscious of Him in every aspect of our lives.

Aamiin

Aaw, bro albaqir. Ramadan mubaarak. I have been calling your number for some weeks now but no reply. Hope you are still using those numbers?

Perharps we should exercise caution with this Hadiith.

wa alaykumu salaam. Pls elaborate further. I am not sure I understand ur question.

thesource:
what a great comment, i'm very very appreciative of this, thank you so much, jazaka lahu khairan. But, what i need now is Tahjud prayers, i really want to be observing tahjud prayers, i'll be very grateful if you can recommend some special tahjud prayers to me. Thanks once again

Also remember to be calling on Allaah as many times as possible e.g you can be saying Yaa Mughniy everytime.

Empiree:
Just learned my grandfather just passed away this afternoon after asr prayer. May Allah have mercy on his soul. Amin

May Allaah forgive him all his sins and shortcomings and shower on him abundant blessings. Aamiin

The Caliph Ali(RA) is indeed an epitome of wisdom. This saying above further increases my respect for his blessed person.

Lol. Just talk of word rhyme. Maybe I should try it one of these days. I reckon it will be very good for digestion.

@empiree, pls send to counsellix@gmail.com . I have password issues with the registered email on nairaland.

aaw bro. You should not renounce ur deen. You see at some points in life, we are tested by Allaah. Everyone has problems with different levels of severity. Even the Pastor has his own. You see friend, i have been in ur position b4 and i know how vulnerable one can get. But only Allaah can solve problems at the time of his choosing. No one can. Becoming a Christian cant make you rich.
How did she even conclude u are worse off. That printing profession might even be your calling. You never know what good might lie in there. So brother, be patient and focussed. Disregard all distractions
