Secondly:

What is enjoined in the Book of Allah is to wash the face. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces…”

[al-Maa’idah 5:6].

With regard to the area under the chin, it is not included in the definition of the face, so it does not have to be washed.

Al-Kaasaani said: Because the face is what is seen when looking at a person; whatever is not seen is not part of the face.

Praise be to Allah

Firstly:

You do not have to use something to lift the nail so that the water can pass beneath it; rather that is a kind of strictness that is not acceptable according to Islamic teachings. If the person who is doing wudoo’ washes the parts of his body in an ordinary manner, then he has obeyed the command of Allah, may He be exalted, and has done what is required of him.

If it so happens that there is a small amount of anything under the nail that the water does not reach, then it comes under the heading of negligible matters that are pardoned, such as dirt under the nails and cracks in the feet; the one who is doing wudoo’ does not have to make sure that water enters every single crack or to check them and examine them.

It says in Mataalib Ooli an-Nuha (1/116): A small amount of dirt under the nails and the like does not matter, and the same applies to the inside of the nose, even if it prevents water reaching where it should, because these are things that usually happen a great deal, and if wudoo’ were not valid in the case of such matters, then the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) would have explained it, because it was not permissible for him to delay explaining at the time when such knowledge was needed.

To that – i.e., the issue of a small amount of dirt – Shaykh Taqiy ad-Deen ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) added every small thing that could prevent water reaching the skin, such as dried blood or dough on any part of the body. This was the view he favoured by analogy with dirt under the nails.

That also includes cracks that may appear on some parts of the body. End quote.

Question:

I have a few questions regarding wudu. what is meant by when washing the face it needs to be done from "ear to ear" does it mean where the top of the ear connects to the head going towords the face so includein some of the side burns? please clarify also when wipeing the ear does the entire ear have to be wiped front to back becuase the ear and on my foot toe nail of the nail is average big and if firmly on the skin should i live the nail with a thin object to allow water through without pain? Also is washing undet chin needed? Is this hadeeth strong?- Anas (RA) narrates that the Prophet (SAW), when he made wudu, used to take a handful of water and enter it below his chin and rub it through his beard and said, "This is what my Lord - the Great and Exalted - has ordered me to do." (Sahih - Abu Dawood, Al-Baihaqee, Al-Haakim) And finnnaly how does one tell of the dirt on his hand or something will prevent water. would be nice if all questions can get clear answer please so i can move away from doubts during wudu (Ablution)

Islam is beauty.

Answer:


All praise is due to Allaah. May peace and blessings be on the Messenger of Allaah, his household and companions.

One day, Shaykh Al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) phoned me while I was away.

So my little daughter picked the call and said: "Assalaam alaykum warahmatullaah"

Shaykh asked after me from her and said to her, "(when your dad returns) inform him that Muhammad Naasirud-deen Al-Albaani asked called. (He didn't add 'Shaykh' to his name. And this is part of his humility. May Allaah elevate his position in Jannah, Ameen).

Upon my return, my daughter informed me that a man named Muhammad Naasirud-deen Al-Albaani had called.


Immediately, I phoned him and, after he had discussed his matter with me.

He said: O Aboo Islaam! When I called your number earlier, your daughter answered it and initiated the salaam. Is this something proven from knowledge or just a personal action from a minor? Benefit us O Aboo Islaam! (this also is part of his humility and wisdom in Da'wah. May Allaah have mercy on him).

I replied, this is something from a minor and (this is happening for the first time). What we know concerning this matter is that the receiver should only pick his call and say, "Na'am". Then, the caller should say the salaam while he the receiver responds to it and not that he initiates the greeting.


Shaykh said: Yes, this is the correct position which is known to us. The caller via telephone is like someone knocking on the door. There's no difference between them.



May Allah forgive the shortcomings of our scholars and be with them.

The justice that Allaah makes obligatory on us has to do with al-Maaddah, things that can be bought with money and so on. We should be just when giving them money, when providing shelter, (regarding) what they wear and so on. However, it is not possible to be just amongst them in your heart. There is no one who can be just amongst his wives in his heart. You married them because you love them, but there is no doubt that you will love a person more than the other; you may not be able to identify it, but they may be the ones reading it for you. So Allaah does not ask us to be just regarding this.

What we should be just about are things we have power upon as the Prophet would say, ‘I have done that which I am capable of, do not call me to account for that which I am unable to do’. This justice has to do with something which money can buy and with catering for the needs of all the wives regarding what they want. If there is a wife from the four wives you have who was brought up with eating yam flour (lafun), which is from the cheapest of foods, you should give her what she needs. A bag of yam flour may not be up to ten thousand naira. If there is another one who was brought up with Semovita, (you should give her what she desires even when) you know the amount you will spend to get that will be exorbitant if you wish to buy the same size of Semovita as that of yam flour. So we should buy whatever each of them cherishes; this is justice.

There are from women, those who have never slept on bed before, they were trained with sleeping on mat. If she insists that you must buy her a mat, the one made by hand weaving; you have to follow suit. If you decide to buy a costly one and she rejects it, you will be just once you buy what she wants for her. As for the one who desires bed, buy a bed for her; that is justice. If you want to buy clothes for them and one of them desires a cloth of three thousand naira while the other desires a cloth of six thousand naira, if you buy what each of them wants, you have applied justice. The price is not a problem, because the most important thing is to give each wife whatever she requests. This is what is referred to as equality in Islaam; this is what Allaah orders us to do.

Injustice is when you cater for the need of one wife and you neglect the need of the other wife. However, it is left to women to be patient with their husbands. Most times, they make their husbands misbehave. They frustrate their husbands by asking for needs excessively. And this makes their husbands preoccupied with their own activities alone. Women should be patient with their husbands; be patient and contented with whatever provision Allaah has given your husbands. There is no doubt that every sensible person knows that facing hardship in marriage is preferable to not having a husband to marry. This is because if you remain in your father’s house, you will regret alone by the time you’re insulted once in a while. You may consider committing suicide by the time you are mocked for not having a husband. Since Allaah have blessed you to have a husband, be patient with him. It is better for you than staying in your father’s house. Na’am.

Quiz: Where is Allah?

https://www.nairaland.com/4388890/quiz-where-allah

The above is a simple question but many people will fail. Let see if you will get it. Where is our Creator (Allah)?

2. By doing this deed he is seeking the pleasure of Allah, but he also hopes to attain some worldly gains or benefits that may result from this deed,

such as one who fasts for the sake of Allah, but in addition to that he is seeking to look after his health; or he does Hajj for the sake of Allah, but at the same time he intends to do some business; or he strives in jihad for the sake of Allah, and also aims to acquire some of the booty; or he gives zakaah on his wealth for the sake of Allah, but also seeks blessing and growth for his wealth; or he gives charity for the sake of Allah, and at the same time intends to seek healing from disease; or he upholds ties of kinship, seeking reward, long life and abundant provision.

In such cases the ruling differs, according to which is the stronger motive for doing the action in question.

i. If the stronger motive is seeking the pleasure of Allah and hoping for reward from Him, then there is nothing wrong with that.

At-Taahir ibn ‘Ashoor said: If one hopes for some immediate benefit and reward (in this world), and that comes about as a result of this particular act of worship, but it is not the main aim, then it may be overlooked, especially since this is something that no one can avoid; or especially if it is something that may motivate one to do more acts of worship.

End quote from at-Tahreer wa’t-Tanweer (23/318)

Shaykh ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan as-Sa‘di said: The hope of the one who strives for some worldly gains from his righteous deeds should not harm him, if his main aim is to attain the pleasure of Allah and seek the hereafter.

In His wisdom and mercy, Allah has ordained that there should be immediate reward and deferred reward (for righteous deeds), and He has promised that reward to those who strive, because hope of reward and investing effort for that purpose energises people to strive and prompts them to do good, just as warnings of punishment for offences and mentioning types of punishment is something by means of which Allah instills fear in people’s hearts and motivates them to give up sins and offenses.

The sincere believer is sincere to Allah in all that he does or refrains from, and is motivated in his efforts to attain the sublime goal by the various rewards that he may earn.

End quote from Bahjat Quloob al-Abraar, p. 273

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

If his motive is mostly to show devotion to Allah, then he will miss out on the perfect reward, but that will not harm him, because Allah, may He be exalted, says concerning the pilgrims (interpretation of the meaning):

“There is no blame upon you for seeking bounty from your Lord [during hajj]”

[al-Baqarah 2:198].

End quote.

ii. But if worldly gain is the stronger motive, then there will be no reward for him

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said, carrying on from the words quoted above:

If his motive is mostly something other than showing devotion to Allah, then he will have no reward in the hereafter; rather his reward will be what he gains in this world, and I fear that he may be sinning thereby, because he has taken an act of worship, which is the means of attaining the most sublime aims, and has turned it into a means of attaining insignificant worldly gain. Thus he is like those of whom Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And among them are some who criticize you concerning the [distribution of] charities. If they are given from them, they approve; but if they are not given from them, at once they become angry”

[at-Tawbah 9:58].

In as-Saheehayn, it is narrated from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever migrated for some worldly gain or in order to marry some woman, then his migration was for the purpose for which he migrated.”

iii. If both aims are equal, and neither out weighs the other, then the matter is subject to further discussion. The more correct scholarly view is that there is no reward for him; he is like one who does an act of worship seeking the pleasure of Allah and of someone else.

End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il ash-Shaykh (1/99)

in His wisdom, Allah, may He be exalted, has ordained reward in this world for acts of obedience, as part of the blessing of those acts of obedience, and He has mentioned some of them in order to encourage his slaves to do them: “Whoever desires the reward of this world - then with Allah is the reward of this world and the Hereafter” [an-Nisa’ 4:134].

Mention of these worldly benefits of righteous deeds make one long to do such deeds and want to them. By His generosity, Allah, may He be exalted, gives to those who strive – if they seek His pleasure – reward in both realms: “So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the Hereafter” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:148].

There is no blame on the one who does something for the sake of Allah, with the reward of the hereafter as his main aim, and whatever reward he attains in this world is a secondary matter for him. Rather blame is due on the one who does not seek anything but worldly gain by doing good, or that is his main aim and intention from the outset. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And when you have completed your rites, remember Allah like your [previous] remembrance of your fathers or with [much] greater remembrance. And among the people is he who says, ‘Our Lord, give us in this world,’ and he will have in the Hereafter no share.

But among them is he who says, ‘Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire’”

[al-Baqarah 2:200-201].

Some religious texts offer encouragement by referring to worldly benefits, such as the following verses (interpretation of the meaning):

“And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver’

He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers,

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers”

[Nooh 71:10-12]

“Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life”

[an-Nahl 16:97]

“And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah , We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth”

[al-A‘raaf 7:96].

And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Follow one Hajj or ‘umrah with another, for they eradicate poverty and sins as the bellows eliminate the dross of iron, gold and silver; and an accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise.” Narrated by Ahmad; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.

And he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The siwaak is cleansing for the mouth and pleasing to the Lord.” Narrated by Ahmad (33683); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.

1. Worldly gain is all that he is seeking

Thus he fasts for the purpose of health or diet; he performs pilgrimage on behalf of someone else for the money only; he goes out to fight in jihad for the sake of the booty; he gives charity for the sake of healing or earning people’s praise, and so on.

Such a person has no share in the hereafter.

Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived”

[Hood 11:15].

Ibn Jareer at-Tabari said: Whoever does a righteous deed seeking worldly gain, whether it is fasting, praying, or tahajjud at night, doing it only for the sake of worldly gain, Allah says: I shall give him what he is seeking in this world of reward, but his deeds that he did for worldly gain will be rendered invalid, and in the hereafter he will be among the losers.

End quote from Jaami‘ al-Bayaan (12/347).

Abu’l-‘Abbaas al-Qurtubi said: If his motive was otherwise, such as worldly gain, then it is no longer an act of worship; rather it is a sin that may doom the doer, for it is either disbelief, which is major shirk, or it is showing off, which is minor shirk…. This applies if the motive for the act of worship was worldly gain only, in the sense that if that aim was not attainable, he would not do that deed.

End quote from al-Mufhim lima ashkala min Talkhees Kitaab Muslim (12/50)

Praise be to Allah

The basic principle is that the Muslim should intend, by doing acts of worship and righteous deeds, to seek the pleasure of Allah, and his intention should be purely for that purpose.

Whoever does righteous deeds or acts of worship with the aim of attaining some worldly gain, comes under one of two headings:

JazakumLah khaeran, I wonder why they ask the military men to save thier beards. Do they mean their beard will not allow them to shoot? Mtcheew

Also, do you know Hijab muslims are fighting for despite our population in Nigeria are allowed freely here in South Africa with not more than 5% muslims of the total population.
