| Islam › Ruling On Sharing Cartoons on Social Media by Lukgaf(op): 5:10am On Jan 17, 2020 |
QuestionPraise be to Allah. Firstly: It is not permissible to draw images of animate beings, whether the depiction is realistic or distorted, which is what is called cartoons, because of the general meaning of the evidence which indicates that it is haraam to draw and depict animate beings. An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Sharh Saheeh Muslim: Our companions and other scholars said that making an image of an animate being is emphatically prohibited and is a major sin, because this stern warning is issued against it in the hadiths. That applies whether it is included in something that will be handled without respect or otherwise; making it is haraam in all cases, because it is trying to match the creation of Allah, may He be exalted. It is all the same whether it is on a garment, a rug, a dirham (silver coin), a dinar (gold coin), a penny, a vessel, a wall or anything else. As for depicting trees, camel saddles and other things that do not show animate beings, that is not haraam. This is the ruling on image-making. With regard to keeping anything in which there is a depiction of an animate being, if it is hung on a wall, or it is on a garment or turban that is worn, and the like, which are matters that are not regarded as disrespectful handling, then it is haraam. If it is on a rug that is stepped on, or a pillow or cushion and the like, that are handled with disrespect, then it is not haraam, but does it prevent the angels of mercy from entering that house? There is a scholarly discussion concerning that, which we will mention below, in sha Allah. In all these cases, there is no difference between that which has a shadow (three dimensional) and that which does not have a shadow (two dimensional). This is a summary of our view on the matter. Something similar was mentioned by the majority of scholars among the Sahaabah and Taabi‘een, and those who came after them. This is the view of ath-Thawri, Maalik, Abu Haneefah and others. Some of the salaf (early generations) said: It is only that which has a shadow (three dimensional) that is prohibited, and there is nothing wrong with images that do not have a shadow (two dimensional). But this is an invalid view, because the curtain with images to which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) objected was undoubtedly blameworthy, although its images did not have shadows. That is in addition to the other hadiths which spoke of images in general terms and are applicable to all images. End quote. Secondly: What appears to be the case is that it is not permissible to share these drawings in chat rooms, because that is spreading and propagating something haraam. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty” [al-Maa’idah 5:2]. Muslim (969) narrated that Abu’l-Hayyaaj al-Asadi said: ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib said to me: Shall I not send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) sent me: Do not leave any image without erasing it or any high grave without levelling it? The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cut down the curtain that contained images, and tore it up. If a person is commanded to erase images, how can he keep them and care about them and share them? As for the notion that this is helping to convey the idea, it is obvious that means of da‘wah (calling people to Islam) must be in line with Islamic guidelines, and free of anything that is haraam. And Allah knows best. Source: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/93105/ruling-on-sharing-cartoons-in-chat-rooms 5 Likes 1 Share

| Islam › Does Laughing Invalidate Ablution? by Lukgaf(op): 8:14am On Jan 10, 2020 |
Praise be to Allah. Firstly: There is no difference of opinion among the scholars that laughing outside of prayer – even when one is getting ready for prayer – does not invalidate wudoo’. Ibn al-Mundhir said: The scholars are unanimously agreed that laughing outside of prayer does not invalidate wudoo’ and does not require one to do wudoo’ again. End quote from al-Awsat (1/166). An-Nawawi said: They [the scholars] are unanimously agreed that laughing out loud outside of prayer does not invalidate wudoo’. End quote from al-Majmoo‘ (2/61). Secondly: The scholars are unanimously agreed that laughing when praying invalidates the prayer. Ibn al-Mundhir said: They are unanimously agreed that laughing when praying invalidates the prayer. End quote from al-Ijmaa‘, p. 3. What is meant by laughing here is laughing out loud Ibn Qudaamah said: We do not know of any difference of opinion concerning that. End quote from al-Mughni (2/451). Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Laughing out loud, in which one makes a loud noise, is contrary to the dignity of prayer and to the focus and humility that is required in prayer. Moreover, it shows disrespect towards the prayer, makes a mockery of it and is contrary to its purpose, so the prayer is spoiled by that. End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (22/617). Thirdly: From the above, it is clear that the difference of opinion among the scholars has to do with laughing out loud in the prayer and whether wudoo’ is also invalidated by it, or not. The correct view, which is that of the majority of scholars, is that it does not invalidate wudoo’, because there is no evidence to indicate that it does invalidate it. Jaabir ibn ‘Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If someone laughs whilst praying, he must repeat his prayer, but he does not have to repeat wudoo’. Narrated by al-Bukhaari in a mu‘allaq report, and by ad-Daaraqutni (51) in a mawsool report. Ibn Hajar said: It is proven to be saheeh, but it is the words of Jaabir. End quote from Fath al-Baari (1/280). Shaykh al-Islam said: There is no narration from any Sahaabi to suggest a different view. Moreover, it does not invalidate wudoo’ outside of prayer, so by the same token [it does not invalidate wudoo’] in the prayer. End quote from Sharh al-‘Umdah (1/324). An-Nawawi said: Our view and that of the majority of scholars is that it does not invalidate wudoo’. … This is the view of the majority of the Taabi‘een and those who came after them. Al-Bayhaqi narrated that Abu’z-Zinaad said: I met some of our well-versed scholars whose view is decisive: Sa‘eed ibn al-Musayyab, ‘Urwah ibn az-Zubayr, al-Qaasim ibn Muhammad, Abu Bakr ibn ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan, Khaarijah ibn Zayd ibn Thaabit, ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Abdillah ibn ‘Uqbah, Sulaymaan ibn Yasaar, and many other respectable scholars, who say that laughing invalidates the prayer, but it does not invalidate wudoo’. And he said: There is no proof at all to suggest that wudoo’ is invalidated by laughing. End quote from al-Majmoo‘ (2/60). The hadiths which say that laughing invalidates wudoo’ are da‘eef (weak) and none of them are saheeh (sound). An-Nawawi said: All of them are da‘eef and waahin (flimsy), according to the consensus of the scholars of hadith. End quote from al-Majmoo‘ (2/61). Summary: laughing does not invalidate wudoo’, whether that happens when praying or outside of prayer. And Allah knows best. https://islamqa.info/en/answers/129409/laughing-does-not-invalidate-wudoo 4 Likes |

| Islam › Insanity: Islamic Fiqh's Ruling by Lukgaf(op): 7:03am On Jan 10, 2020 |
Praise be to Allah. Sanity is the condition of accountability, and insanity is a breakdown of sanity, meaning that the individual’s words and deeds cannot be interpreted in the usual manner except in rare instances. It was said that insanity is a breakdown of rational thinking that distinguishes between good things and bad things, and can see the consequences of things, so that there is no sign of discernment and no deeds are done that reflect discernment. See: al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (16/99). There are many rulings which apply to the one who is insane, and which are discussed in various areas of fiqh. One of those rulings is that the insane person is not required to do physical acts of worship, such as purification, prayer, fasting and Hajj, and they are not valid on his part. He is required to give zakaah, if he has wealth; his guardian should pay it on his behalf. He is also required to pay penalties and compensation if he damages or destroys something, because this comes under the heading of dealing with the situation, not of accountability. The insane person is deemed to be Muslim if one of his parents is Muslim, and there is the hope that he will enter Paradise, as stated in the answer to question no. 14392. The insane person is to be deemed legally incompetent, so transactions of sale and purchase on his part are not valid, and his word is not to be taken seriously in matters of divorce, gift-giving, and so on. Insanity is regarded as a defect with regard to marriage, and requires annulment of the marriage. No retaliatory punishment (qisaas) is to be carried out on one who is insane, and he is not to be subjected to the hadd punishment for zina and the like. The insane person may inherit, and his guardian may dispose of his wealth in accordance with what is in his best interests. If he dies and has wealth, it is to be inherited from him. With regard to much of what we have mentioned above, please see: al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (16/99-116).

| Islam › Abrogated Verses In The Holy Qur'an: Why Differences In Wording? by Lukgaf(op): 6:49am On Jan 03, 2020 |
QuestionAnswer Praise be to Allah. One of the texts which is abrogated and removed from the Mushaf is this verse: “If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth he would desire a third, but nothing will fill the belly of the son of Adam except dust.” That is because of the report narrated by Muslim (1050) from Abu Moosa al-Ash‘ari who said: We used to recite a soorah which we likened in its length and strictness to Baraa’ah [Soorat at-Tawbah], then I was caused to forget it, but I remember from it the words: “If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth he would desire a third, but nothing will fill the belly of the son of Adam except dust.” Ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him) said, explaining the different types of abrogation: Abrogation of the text and the ruling: It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We used to recite a soorah that was equal in length to Soorat at-Tawbah; I do not remember anything of it except this verse: “If the son of Adam had two valleys of gold, he would desire a third, and if he had a third, he would desire a fourth, but nothing will fill the belly of the son of Adam except dust, and Allah turns in mercy to whoever repents.” End quote from an-Naasikh wa’l-Mansookh by Ibn Hazm (p. 9). Perhaps the reason for the different wordings narrated for this verse is that when it was abrogated, it was no longer Qur’an, so the narrators were less careful about its wording, and were not so careful about it as they were in the case of the Qur’an or the hadith of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) which they wanted to convey to those who came after them. Do you not see that Abu Moosa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We used to recite a soorah which we likened in its length and strictness to Baraa’ah [Soorat at-Tawbah], then I was caused to forget it? The focus of the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them) was on preserving and memorizing that which was proven, in order to convey it to the people. As for that which had been abrogated, they were not very concerned with it, so it was sufficient for them and for those who narrated from them to narrate it in general terms, or to narrate the meaning, or to narrate it with less precision in some of the phrases, especially since both the text and the ruling were abrogated. If the ruling remained in effect, they would pay more attention to the wording in order to apply it. Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Then think about what the Sahaabah mentioned of the verses which were abrogated; they only mentioned the meaning and some words, not the exact wording as revealed. The context and style of the Qur’an confirm what they mentioned about that, and what they narrated here is clearly far removed from the style and eloquence of the Qur’an. End quote from Ikmaal al-Mu‘lim bi Fawaa’id Muslim (3/585). It may be that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said something along these lines with different wording on different occasions, on the grounds that this is a prophetic hadith, then these wordings became mixed with the wording of the abrogated verse, because of what we have noted above, or the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them) did not focus their attention on memorizing verses of which the text had been abrogated. Hence Anas said: I do not know whether it was something that was revealed to him or something that he said. Narrated by Muslim (1048). And Allah knows best.

| Education › Adeleke University Suspends Muslim Student For Not Attending School Chapel by Lukgaf(op): 9:25am On Jan 02, 2020 |
The authorities of Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State, Nigeria, has suspended the studentship of a part three Law student, Lawal Toheeb, for failure to attend the university’s imposed numerous chapel activities. In a letter of suspension, signed by the school registrar, Mr. Oyerinde Caleb Oyejola JP, that was handed over to the affected student on 10th December, 2019, the university says, inter alia, ‘The President/Vice-Chancellor considered the report of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee that found you guilty of gross disrespect to Constituted Authority. The Vice-Chancellor subsequently approved that you should be suspended from all academic activities in the University for One Semester to commence second semester of 2019/2020 academic session in line with the sanction in the Students’ Handbook…’. Lawal Toheeb was invited to face the disciplinary committee on 3rd Decemeber, 2019, at the Senate Building of the school, that has persons like Pastor Andrew Emuroutu, Mrs. Omije; the Chief Security Officer of the School, Mr. Kola Ojetoye; Professor Oguntoyinbo Atere, the Dean of Students’ Care; as members. The Panel was chaired by the school registrar, Mr. Oyerinde Caleb Oyejola. According to Lawal Toheeb, all his pleas to the panel that he is a Muslim fell on their deaf ears. He said they all alluded to the fact it was a mandatory rule of the school that all students must attend the chapel services. The school Sabbath Worship takes place 8-45am to 9-15am on Saturdays, so also in the evenings of Wednesdays and Saturdays, as contained in page 49 of the student’s handbook. This website confirmed that the Sabbath activities on Saturdays used to end by 12 noon, while the ones in the evening of Wednesdays are till sunset. The Handbook states, ‘careful preparation should be made for the Sabbath especially on Friday before sundown: clothes and shoes to be worn on Sabbath should be made ready between (5:00p.m. to 6:00p.m.).’ ‘The following are activities that are in harmony with the spirit of the Sabbath observance: (a) Attending religious services, (b) Maintaining reverence during the worship, (c) enjoying church fellowship,’ the Handbook also states. In our investigation, the school operates a merit/demerit system for obedience or disobedience to the various rules and regulations of the school among which is compulsory attendance of chapel services where the Seventh Day Church doctrines such as singing, dancing, preaching and host of other activities, hold sway. There are a number of chapels such as Shalom Chapel, Salvation Chapel, Grace Chapel, Praise Chapel, Peace Chapel, etc., that all the students have been grouped. Non-attendance of chapel programme attracts a 10-point demerit, which was formerly a 5-point, according to our findings. A student who has amassed between 10 and 60 points of demerits may be asked to carry out a community service such as sweeping the floor of the surroundings, cutting the grass, cleaning the gutters, or other dirty jobs, all in the university arena. But at any point above 60 demerits, the student will be summoned to face a disciplinary panel from where he can be suspended and eventually expelled from the school if he is returned and does not comply with the law of compulsory chapel attendance. However, according to Lawal Toheeb, in his personal report he forwarded to this website, ‘The genesis significantly began at a screening interview held on the 3rd of November 2017 where I appealed to the board that I am not willing to compromise my religion by attending the Sabbath worship.’ ‘I said, ‘I hope there is a concession for me’. However, it was the Students Care Dean’s voice I heard first, remarking that ‘No! If you refuse to abide by the law of the land then be ready to be expelled from this school,’’ he said further. ‘The school exercises continued and my artless mind remained in trauma… I had to attend the chapel worships every Wednesday evening and Saturday, morning and evening. Then a week soon came that the attendance ran on for a whole week and no days were spared. When present in the service, we were obliged to throw all worries behind and ‘stand with those who stood’. ‘to sit as others did’ they would not mind if we clapped along also. They would always ask for that and persuade us to close eyes as they pray.’ ‘Each day we were found unyielding, they would seize our cards and scare us with demerit points or community services. 'I was once caught in my room by the Hall officers on a Sabbath morning and dragged to the security post. ‘I’m a Muslim’ I objected but they were always gutsy and swift to reply ‘other Muslims are there.’ I found my way back in having spent about an hour loitering aimlessly around the Security Post awaiting sanction.’ In the tail end of the report, the student wrote: ‘Earlier this semester, I faced Disciplinary Committee on charges of the non-attendance of Sabbath worships and not appearing before the panel back then. I explained again, ‘I am a Muslim and I hold a different belief and that I once appeared back then too but left for exams’ but they were indifferent. Then the officers came for me yesterday about 4:pm and was led to the CSO who asked, if you would be indifferent why did you remain here? And I frankly replied ‘I never knew it is Zero Tolerance if I don’t compromise’. He couldn’t say anything to it. Asked me to be taken to the Senate for the letter. And just yesterday sir, I was served a suspension letter by Mrs. Ajayi on those charges for a full semester commencing January (I have attached the suspension letter) also.’ End of quote. Meanwhile, the school has always claimed that it does not force the Muslim students to attend church services in the school, in a statement credited to the Vice Chancellor of the school, Professor Samuel Ekundayo Alao, that appeared in an interview he granted a newspaper outfit of the school, Adeleke Star, in its November 18, 2019, edition, he said, ‘such malicious rumour cannot be spread by Muslim students in the institution who are enjoying the freedom to practice their religion and other benevolent acts of the institution.’ The newspaper also alluded to him as saying that the large number of students in the school are well treated. Many other Muslim students who do not wish that their names be published for fear of possible backlash from the school authorities have said the VC is being economical with the truth. For instance, some of them cited an instance of forbiddance of observance of Muslim daily prayers in the school. They said attempts to use makeshift places for prayers have always been met with harsh actions from the agents of the school. They say the school only makes a-once-in-a-week political Jumaht attendance at Adeleke mosque in the town, a case of spoiling the students for six days and trying to show the world they are well treated for just a day, this investigation discovers. It would be recalled that this website carried the story of a female Muslim student who had to leave the university when she was refused the use of Hijab. There are many other cases of Muslim students leaving the school in the face of intimidation. To an outside world, Adeleke University depicts the look of a secular private university but which findings have shown is doctrinally a Seventh Day Adventist Church University Source: https://www.simplysalafiyyah.com/news-r.php?id=26&adeleke-university-suspends-muslim-student-for-church-non-attendance&fbclid=IwAR0axpOm_xOXnI3YhXqF8-pXCJFF9tjb8-ks3Ee0gSS0TOFvrxgcT6e92xI 13 Likes 1 Share |

| Islam › Ruling On Dealing/Buying Animate Toys (Bèèbí) For Children by Lukgaf(op): 10:53am On Dec 27, 2019 |
Praise be to Allah It is permissible to deal in products that people give as gifts, such as toys, flowers, cards and the like, provided that they do not involve anything haraam such as music or images or pictures of animate beings, and do not help in anything haraam, such as gifts for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Halloween and so on, because it is not permissible to sell anything that is haraam or helps in anything haraam, as Allah, may He be exalted, 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. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment” [al-Maa’idah 5:2]. Secondly: With regard to toys and teddy bears, if they are for children, there is nothing wrong with dealing in them, because there is a concession allowing playing with dolls, and because concessions are granted in the case of children that are not granted in the case of adults. But if they are bought by adults to decorate their living rooms and cars, then it is not permissible to sell them to them. In as-Saheehayn it is narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I used to play with dolls in the house of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), and I had friends who would play with me… Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6130) and Muslim (2440) Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said in al-Fath: This hadith is quoted as evidence for the permissibility of keeping dolls and toys so that girls can play with them. That is excluded from the general meaning of the prohibition on keeping images. This was the view of ‘Iyaad, who narrated it from the majority. They regarded it as permissible to sell toys for girls in order to teach them from an early age how to take care of their houses and their children in the future. Ibn Hibbaan wrote a chapter entitled: Permissibility of little girls playing with toys… – according to a report of Jareer from Hishaam: [‘Aa’ishah said:] I used to play with dolls, which are toys. Narrated by Abu ‘Awaanah and others. Abu Dawood and an-Nasaa’i narrated via another isnaad from ‘Aa’ishah that she said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) came from the campaign to Tabook or Khaybar… and he quoted the hadith about him tearing down the curtain that she had hung up over her door. She said: He lifted the edge of the curtain and saw some dolls belonging to ‘Aa’ishah. He said: “What is this, O ‘Aa’ishah?” She said: My dolls. He saw among them a horse that had wings attached to it and said: “What is this?” I said: A horse. He said: “A horse with wings?” I said: Have you not heard that Sulaymaan had horses that had wings? And he smiled. End quote. The report mentioned by Ibn Hajar was also narrated by Abu Dawood (no. 22813) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Ghaayat al-Maraam (129). Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on buying dolls and on the images that are found in books, such as images of animals and birds, and so on, because children enjoy looking at them and they learn by looking at them, and I do not know what the ruling on that is? He replied: With regard to dolls for children, which are three-dimensional images in the form of a woman or a girl or a child, they may be divided into two categories: The first category is permissible and there is nothing wrong with it. It includes the dolls that are made nowadays that have no facial features, no eyes or nose or mouth. There are no reservations about the permissibility of these, because ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) had dolls that were like this, with which she played. The second category is those that are made of plastic and look exactly like human beings, with eyes, lips, eyelashes and eyebrows; some of them even walk and talk. There is some reservation about the permissibility of these, but I am not strict about it, because with regard to the hadith of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) which says that she played with dolls, it may be said that it is indicative of lenience concerning dolls, especially since, as I said, children may enjoy playing with them. Nevertheless we say: so long as there is an alternative to that, we should not turn to that which is doubtful when that which is not doubtful is available, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt. As for images of other animals, such as horses, lions and the like, there is no justification for keeping them at all, when we have an alternative in the form of toys that are based on equipment such as cars, bulldozers and the like. A boy can play with those just as he would play with toy animals. But if a person is given one of these animals as a gift, then he should cut off its head and leave it without a head, and there is nothing wrong with that.

| Islam › Ruling On Using Adhan Or Dhikr As Ringing Tone by Lukgaf(op): 7:47am On Dec 06, 2019 |
Praise be to Allah The purpose of the ring tone on a phone is to alert one to an incoming call. The ringtone should be for this purpose - to alert and notify one of the person calling. To utilise the sanctified name of Allah and similar wording for a ringtone is inappropriate and tantamount to disrespect. The recitation and words of Quran and other sanctified words have a prescribed etiquette. Using these words as a ringtone violates their sanctity and is a form of disrespect to Allah Ta’ala and the salient symbols of Islam. The Jurists have forbidden the use of the sacred words and symbols for purposes other than worship and what is related to it. The respect of the Qur’an and sanctity of the symbols of Islam must always be upheld in the highest regard. Allah Ta’ala says “And whosoever honours the salient symbols of Allah, then surely this is due to the piety of the hearts.” (Surah Hajj – Verse 32) And Allah Knows Best Excerpt from Darulihsan (https://www.darulihsan.com/index.php/k2-categories/item/8574-using-azan-zikr-etc-as-a-ring-tone) 7 Likes 2 Shares |

| Islam › Can We Attribute An Ear To Allah? by Lukgaf(op): 7:24am On Dec 06, 2019 |
Praise be to Allah. Firstly: The basic principle of Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa‘ah in affirming the divine attributes is that they affirm for Allah, may He be exalted, what He affirmed for Himself, or His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) affirmed for Him, without resorting to an interpretation that differs from the apparent meaning, without denying the divine attributes, without asking how they are, and without likening these attributes to any of Allah’s creation. To sum up: the attributes of Allah, may He be exalted, are tawqeefi (something which is based on revelation [and not open to ijtihaad]), and there is no room for reason in this regard. So we do not affirm for Allah, may He be exalted, any attributes except those that are affirmed in the Qur’an and Sunnah. Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Allah cannot be described except in the terms in which He described Himself or His Messenger described Him, and that cannot go beyond what is mentioned in the Qur’an and hadith. End quote from al-Fatwa al-Hamawiyyah (p. 271). Secondly: This attribute, the “ear”, cannot be affirmed unless there is a religious text [Qur’an or sound hadith] to support that, and we have no report that affirms it, so we must refrain, and it is not permissible to affirm this attribute for Allah, may He be exalted. Shaykh al-Barraak says: With regard to that for which there is nothing at all to deny it or affirm it, whether that be on the basis of a religious text [Qur’an or sound hadith] or an implied meaning or what is necessarily understood, we should refrain from discussing the matter. One example of that is the ear, with regard to Allah, may He be exalted. This is one of the matters concerning which we must refrain from discussion and neither deny or affirm it, because we have nothing to confirm it, either on the basis of a religious text [Qur’an or sound hadith] or an implied meaning or what is necessarily understood. End quote from at-Ta‘leeq ‘ala al-Qawaa‘id al-Muthla (96). And Allah knows best. Source: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/300999/can-we-attribute-an-ear-to-allah 3 Likes 1 Share |

Praise be to Allah. Because you were at fault and are the one who caused this accident, then you must bear responsibility for it in full. If the other party wants to let you off and forgive you, then he has the right to do that. It is his right: he can waive liability or he can demand compensation. But he does not have the right to deceive the insurance company and make them think that he was the one who caused the accident, so that they will bear the costs of repair, because this is lying, cheating and deceit, and it is contrary to the conditions of the contract between him and this company. Based on that, you have to return this money to the insurance company, because you took it unlawfully. If it is too difficult to return it to them for any reason, then you must give it in charity to the poor and needy. The fact that you are not well off in contrast to the wealth of the other man is not an excuse or justification for obtaining the money unlawfully. And Allah knows best.

| Islam › Keeping A Clean Heart by Lukgaf(op): 9:18am On Nov 22, 2019 |
Harbouring malice, ill feelings and bad thoughts about another Muslim is a major sin. To disagree, differ and, at times, experience discord with another person is normal and expected. However, a Muslim is prohibited from allowing these issues to cause him to sever his relationship with the next person. Irrespective of the level of conflict or disagreement that may exist between two parties, it is prohibited for them to hate, spite or grudge each other or harbour ill feelings and hatred. Such an approach will be detrimental spiritually and can also affect one's physical health. Harbouring enmity leads to distress, anxiety and restlessness. The one who holds grudges and gives vent to his anger tortures himself with the fire of jealousy and hatred. Such a person loses respect and self-esteem. The evil effect of these actions engulf his heart, causing him to become miserable and depressed. In upholding relationships, the Qur'an advises us to take a higher moral ground, "The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with (an approach which is better) then verily (the one) with whom there was enmity, will become as though he was a close friend." (Fussilat: 34) Thus Allah orders the faithful believers to be patient and tolerant at the time of anger, and to take to pardon those who treat you badly. Hazrat Anas (R) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said to me, 'O My Beloved son! If you are able to pass the morning and the evening in such a condition where there are no ill-feelings in your heart for anyone, then do so.' Then Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, 'O My Beloved son! That is from my Sunnah. Whoever loves my Sunnah loves me. Whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah.' (Tirmizi) We should develop ourselves to be tolerant with others, and overlook the weaknesses of others by displaying good character. https://www.darulihsan.com/index.php/social-etiquette/item/8556-keep-a-clean-heart 3 Likes |
| Crime › Policemen Extortion: Cyclists In Oyo Cries Out To IGP by Lukgaf(op): 9:56pm On Nov 19, 2019 |
COMMERCIAL MOTORCYCLIST CRIES OUT TO IGP ON DAILY EXTORTION BY POLICE ON OYO ROAD. A graduate of Mechanical Engineering turned Commercial Motorcyclist, Williams Thomas has cried out to the Inspector General of Police(IGP) Muhammad Adamu on daily extortion that some men of the police command operating on Iseyin-Okeho road, Oke-Ogun axis of Oyo State are compulsorily and forcefully demanding from the commercial motorcyclists plying the route. While narrating his and other Motorcyclists' ordeal in the hands of police men operating on the road,Thomas said that all commercial motorcyclists plying the road are daily experiencing serious extortion from the men of police command at each strategic check point. In his enumeration of the check points on the road, Thomas said that there were almost five check points on the road of twelve(12) kilometres, saying a check point is at Orita junction(leading to four towns: Okeho, Ilua, Ilero and Iseyin), another one Infront of Moshra garden, a kilometre ahead of former. He also said that there was another one at elewure settlement and the last one at almost two kilometres to Iseyin respectively. A graduate turned commercial motorcyclist said that the men of police had not been taking it easy with them as they need to compulsorily pay minimum of hundred naira(#100) at each check point per trip. He said a motorcyclist could only convey two passengers with maximum fare of #300 per passenger, saying out of #600 being realised per trip, a motorcyclist has to offer minimum of #100 each to police at all mentioned four check points along the road. Thomas said that he and other motorcyclists were just working for the police men operating on the road, adding that out of #600 levelled on the passengers, they only realise #200 per trip, considering wear and tear of the vehicles, drivers' daily consumption, savings and other activities respectively. He said that he had become tired and fed up of the ugly and illegal phenomenon being perpetrated by the Law Enforcement Agency alleging to uphold and enforce the law. A B.SC Mechanical Engineer said that he became a commercial motorcyclist sequel to loss of job occasioned by the country's economic meltdown,adding that his curiosity for survival no matter the predicament forced him to venture into cycling business. He appealed to Inspector General of Police(IGP) and Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Muhammed Adamu and Shina Olukolu to come to their aid as daily extortion being compelled on them by their men are unbearable. He enjoined the two ranking officers to call their men to order, claiming the forceful demand of money from the road's users is an illegal act that should be attracted severe punishments.

| Islam › Information Obsession: One Of The Fitnah Of This Ummah by Lukgaf(op): 8:38am On Nov 15, 2019 |
On one occasion, a certain Sahaabi asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), “When will Qiyaamah occur?” In response, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) asked him, “What have you prepared for the Day of Qiyaamah?” (Saheeh Bukhaari #6167)On one occasion, a certain person approached Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) and asked him an intricate question of ‘aqaa-id (beliefs). Perceiving that this person was delving into a discussion which did not pertain to him and which was beyond his depth of understanding, Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) asked him a mas-alah (ruling) regarding wudhu. When the person was unable to answer correctly, Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) said to him, “You have neglected acquiring the knowledge of something which you require at least five times a day, and instead you wish to discuss intricate issues related to ‘aqaa-id!” (Taareekh Ibni ‘Asaakir vol. 51, pg. 381 and Siyaru Aa’laamin Nubalaa vol. 10, pg. 26) Sadly, for many people today, perusing literature and surfing the net, especially in the pursuit of ‘interesting’ and obscure pieces of information, is almost an obsession. Regrettably, they are unable to discern between that which is authentic and that which is unauthentic, and that which is beneficial and that which is harmful for them. Thus, they read anything that is forwarded over WhatsApp, watch or listen to any clip they stumble across, and study any literature they wish, without any guidance or supervision whatsoever. As a result, over time, they form warped opinions and develop a distorted mindset regarding different aspects of Deen. This is not a matter to be taken lightly or trivialised, as in some cases, this can cause them to leave the fold of Islam! Furthermore, since they regard themselves to be educated and well-informed on the topic, they will refuse to listen to any reason or accept any correction. In essence, the knowledge of Deen is not something to be trifled with or trivialised through reducing it to a mere hobby, pastime or means of entertainment. After acquiring the basic knowledge of Deen which we require, if any person wishes to acquire further Deeni knowledge, it MUST be with the guidance and supervision of trusted and qualified ‘Ulama. Finally, the motive for acquiring the knowledge of Deen must be to practice on it and use it to gain the proximity of Allah Ta‘ala. If the knowledge of Deen is acquired with the correct intention and following the correct procedure, it will insha-Allah be a means of one’s progress in Deen. Otherwise, it can become the means of one retrogressing – Allah Ta‘ala forbid! May Allah Ta‘ala bless us all with the true appreciation and respect for the knowledge of Deen, aameen.

| NYSC › MURIC To NYSC: Review Camp Training Now by Lukgaf(op): 8:22am On Nov 14, 2019 |
13th November, 2019 PRESS RELEASE: REVIEW NYSC CAMP TRAINING NOW A female Muslim corper yesterday refused to use the conventional short knicker at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camp at Iyana Ipaja, Lagos State. NYSC authorities have allegedly initiated the process for decamping her and she may be sent out of the camp today, Wednesday, 13th November, 2019. It will be recalled that two female Christian youth corpers were also expelled from the NYSC camp in Ebonyi State on Saturday, 9th November, 2019 for the same reason. Both the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) have since condemned the expulsion. But MURIC has added a new twist to the NYSC’s short knicker furore. In a press statement circulated to the media by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola on Wednesday, 13th November, 2019, the civil society organization berated NYSC for sacrificing morality on the altar of militarization. It called for immediate review of the NYSC training camp activities to allow female corpers whose creeds forbid them from wearing short knickers to freely and willingly partake in the activities. MURIC said, “NYSC has placed military options above moral issues. It is affecting young ones in both Christianity and Islam. This is capable of destroying the moral fabrics of our society. What kind of leadership is NYSC trying to produce for the nation? Is it a God-fearing leadership that will give the nation good governance or one that has no fear of Allah that will embezzle the people’s funds, abuse power while in office and deprive the citizens of basic infrastructural facilities? “NYSC should go into retrospection. What has it achieved in more than three decades of its existence? What has been the impact of its training on the youth? Our streets have been taken over by an army of jobless graduates. Yahoo Yahoo is the order of the day. Our graduates are heavily militarized. Cultism, kidnapping and ritual killing are their hobbies. Materialism is their religion. They are in a hurry to get rich. Meanwhile Nigeria holds its breath and trembles. “But NYSC can do better if it pays attention to morality and vocational training instead of concentrating on physical fitness, climbing obstacles, crawling under barbed wires and other military exercises like marching, military parade, etc. Of what use have these activities been to the graduates? Of what use have those activities been to national development? “What is the purpose of teaching graduates how to march on parade when they are not expected to continue military drills after camp? Why are we training them to cross obstacles and crawl under sharp objects when the training does not include the use of arms? Corpers finish up the one-year ritual without knowing how to cock a rifle or how to halt an advancing target for identification. It is sheer window-dressing. “NYSC camp modus operandi is as irrelevant as it is distractive. As far as we are concerned, physical training for graduates in present day Nigeria is peripheral. It is their moral training that is tangential. It is a misplacement of priorities. A nation that has been dragged behind by corruption, a nation whose growth has been retarded by immorality cannot afford to ignore warnings coming from the altar and the minbar. The organization suggested the way forward. “What does NYSC or the nation as a whole stand to gain from decamping corpers for irrational and flimsy excuses? The effect is counter-productive. It wastes the efforts of serious-minded graduates while Yahoo Yahoo and cultist graduates multiply on our streets. What’s in a short knicker and what’s in a long skirt? NYSC is killing flies with a sledge-hammer. “The way forward is to de-emphasise physical and pseudo-military exercises. NYSC handlers should turn attention to the reorientation of our young graduates during camping. Many of them are cynical about Nigeria. NYSC can partner with the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in this regard. Lectures and interactive sessions on patriotism will go a long way to give corpers a new mindset. Motivational speakers should be on call. “Besides, the period should be used for vocational training. This will change our young ones into entrepreneurs and reduce the number of jobless youths. Leadership retreat is another angle that should be considered. Our young graduates need to begin to see leadership as service to humanity. The camping period can also be used for anti-corruption campaigns. Ideologues of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may come in handy here.” MURIC rubbished NYSC’s rationale for choice of short knickers for corpers in camp. “The argument that corpers need short knickers for military drills does not hold any water at all. We have been able to prove that those drills are unnecessary. Corpers are not soldiers. Neither are they members of uniformed organisations. Their stay in camp is ephemeral, sometimes three or four weeks. 99.999% of them may never put on any uniform again in their lives. What then is the purpose of laying so much emphasis on drills, crossing the obstacle, climbing nets, jumping over heights and ascending walls? Has the Third World War started? “Nigerians should shine their eyes. Those military exercises were introduced at the time because NYSC was started by the military. They added all those irrelevant aspects because those are activities best known to soldiers. But we should review the camping activities now that we are in a civilian regime. “We therefore appeal to the National Assembly (NASS) to take an urgent look at activities in NYSC camps with a view to reviewing them as discussed above. This is a democracy. The NYSC decree should be radically reviewed by the NASS. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is also advised to study the matter and bring it to the attention of the presidency. We call on the leadership of CAN to join us in the call for a review of the modus operandi of NYSC training camp. “In our closing remarks, we reject NYSC’s excuse for insisting on using short knickers. We assert that corpers do not need any exercise that cannot be done with skirts. We call for the introduction of re-orientation lectures, leadership training talks and anti-corrption campaigns to replace irrelevant military drills. We also advocate vocational training for corpers in order to turn their attention to entrepreneurship rather than remaining wild goose chasers of non-available white-collar jobs.” *Professor Ishaq Akintola, *Director, *Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) http://muslimrightsmuric..com/2019/11/review-nysc-camp-training-now.html?m=1 2 Likes 1 Share

Praise be to Allah. We have not come across a Hadith in which it is mentioned that the fire of Hell is Haraam upon the first person who gives the news about Rabi’ul Awwal. If this Hadith is fabricated and was not mentioned by Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the person who fabricated the Hadith as well as all those who convey the Hadeeth are deserving of the severe warning of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “To fabricate my words is not like fabricating any other person’s words. The person who fabricates my words should prepare an abode for himself in the fire of hell.” (Sahih al Bukhari, Hadith #: 1291). Unfortunately, due to wide spread ignorance coupled with the advancement of technology, messages containing false information and fabricated Ahadith are widely circulated. The composers of such messages as well as those who forward them to others should take heed of the severe warning of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. It is therefore imperative that one exercises caution when one receives messages of such a nature wherein there is no authentic reference mentioned. Such messages or pieces of information should be referred to reliable and learned scholars for verification.

| Islam › Treating Witchcraft By Witchcraft by Lukgaf(op): 6:26am On Nov 08, 2019 |
Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family and companions. Undoing the effects of witchcraft on one who has been bewitched means that one of the following two scenarios must apply: 1 – That the ruqyahs (incantations) prescribed in sharee’ah (Islamic law) and the prayers for refuge with Allah that are narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and permissible medicines are used. There is nothing wrong with this, but one must be careful to adhere to the guidelines prescribed in Islam with regard to ruqyah. See question no. 12918. 2 – That the witchcraft is treated by means of witchcraft, which means getting close to the jinn by means of offering sacrifices and other acts of worship. This is not permissible, because this is a devilish action, and indeed it is major shirk (polytheism) and we must avoid it. Similarly it is not permissible to treat the problem by asking fortune-tellers, soothsayers and magicians for help and doing what they say, because they are not believers and they are liars and evildoers who claim to have knowledge of the unseen and who deceive people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) warned us against going to them and believing what they say. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days.” And he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).” The practitioners of witchcraft are kafirs (disbelievers) and it is not permissible to go to them or to ask them about anything or to believe them. It was narrated in a saheeh (authentic) report that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked about nashrah. He said: “It is the work of the shaytan.” [in his Musnad, Abu Dawood] Nashrah means undoing witchcraft by means of witchcraft. What the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) meant by nashrah is that which the people of the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic days of ignorance) used to do, when they would ask the practitioners of witchcraft to undo spells, or undoing witchcraft by means of a spell from another practitioner of witchcraft. With regard to undoing witchcraft by means of ruqyah and prayers for refuge with Allah as prescribed in sharee’ah, and permissible kinds of medicine, there is nothing wrong with such methods. This was stated by Ibn al-Qayyim and Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan in Fath al-Majeed, and also by other scholars. Allah is the One Whom we ask to keep the Muslims safe from all evils and to preserve their religious commitment and help them to understand their religion, and to keep them safe from everything that goes against His laws. May Allah send peace and blessings upon His slave and Messenger Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
