Fairness at work: What says Islam

In Islam, aims of the organization are not only to maximize profit, sales or services but it is also to fashion a setting of social justice and especially good relationships between employer and employee. Islam enjoins justice and fairness in all human dealings. Objectives of seeking for employment includes: to improve the material condition of an individual, to improve morals or morality, meeting the needs of one’s family, provision for future contingencies or unforeseen event, provision for prosperity, social service and contribution for the sake of Allah and to serve as a way of attaining success in the hereafter.

However, these objectives seem unrealistic for employee today in our setting. Many employers pay less than employees’ input annually. Some employments have no future, employee work endlessly in pains hoping to see the light that will never show up. Some exploit employees just because they don’t have option(s), and at the same time employer want to achieve organizational growth. Allah says: “Woe to those who are dishonest in weighing and measuring - those who exact a full measure they receive their due from others, but give less than due when they measure or weight for them.” Q83:1. Remarkably, for a rich man to crave pretexts to avoid the fulfilment of his commitment towards the basic rights of worker is oppression. So, it is an injustice for employer to drain employees in order to satisfy own cravings.

In all divine revelations, whenever Allah give responsibility He gives right(s); if you do this, you will get this –then discipline is justly established. Many employees don’t want to be assigned responsibilities but claim their rights from employers, and vice versa. Employees’ responsibilities have been previously discussed in the earlier, and their rights are many, these include right:

1. To be given their just salaries or wages rightly in time.

2. To be paid for holiday and leave.

3. To be provided social security in case of old age or unemployment.

4. To be compensated for injury, deformity, paralysis etc

5. To be allowed to demand that the conditions of the workplace should be healthy.

6. To know, in details, nature and amount of the labour which he/she carries out and these should be fixed with a contract with certainty.

7. To be entitled to prevailing worker’s rights in the labour market.

8. To be entitled to promotion. Etc.

Islam establishes fairness, Muslims (employer or employee) are expected be fair in their dealings. May Allah enrich us ‘halal’ and grant us understanding to be able to strive towards fulfilling our responsibilities.

An admonition by Ustadh Ibrahim Albanny in FIQH CLASS

ISLAM: FAIRNESS AT WORK

Employment is a binding contract which means that the employee must be given the wages and the employer must be given the work. If the employer cancels the contract before the period ends and does not demand the work, the contract is not annulled and he must pay the wages. Al-Sharh al-Kabeer (14/436), Al-Muqni.

Allah says (what means): “O you who have believed, fulfil (all) contracts”. (Q5:1), also He says: “O you who believe, Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin; and whether it be against rich or poor: For Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you swerve, and if you distort justice or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well acquainted with all that you do.” (4:135). Irrespective of creed, class or colour, Islam demands that people treat each other justly, truthfully and with dignity, honour and respect.

Employee is expected:

-To satisfy the conditions between him and the employer in what is not prohibited under Shari‘ah.

-To continue the work in person.

-Not to avoid working. For he who avoid working does not deserve to get paid.

-Not to leave work during working hours or use working hours for personal assignments except with permission.

-To be responsible for taking care of the properties and equipment which belong to the employer. And damage as a result of mistake or beyond employee’s control should be pardoned.

-To do his work in the best way possible.

-Not to harm employer.

-Not to overburden himself/herself (by the night or weekends) when he/she supposed to rest and prepare for the next working day. This apply to salary earners not those on wage. Salary earners are been paid fixed amount monthly/annually regardless of number of hour worked, and nights and weekends are part of the month/year paid for.

-You can add more of what will promote employer-employee good relationship....

Remember, Muslims are encouraged to treat everyone including your employer (Public or Private) with justice and fairness. Prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “None of you has faith unless you love for your brother what you love for yourself” - Bukhari and Muslim. And he said: “Whoever cheats us is not one of us” – Muslim

Ruling (Fiqh) on Menstruation 3

Ruling on castrating animals


Praise be to Allaah.

There is nothing wrong with castrating animals such as sheep and cattle if it is done for a reason, such as making them grow fat and making the meat better. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sacrificed castrated sheep, as it was narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Maajah (3122) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sacrificed two large, castrated rams. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah. 

The fuqaha’ differed concerning this issue, as it is mentioned in al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (19/112): The Hanafis stated that there is nothing wrong with castrating animals, because it is beneficial for the animal and for people. 

According to the Maalikis, It is permissible to castrate animals that are eaten, and that is not makrooh, because it makes the meat better. 

The Shaafa’is differentiated between animals that are eaten and those that are not eaten. They said: It is permissible to castrate those whose meat is eaten when they are young, but it is haraam in other cases. They stipulated that castration should not lead to the death of the animal. 

As for the Hanbalis, in their view it is permissible to castrate sheep because it makes their meat better, and it was said: It is makrooh in the case of horses and other animals. End quote. 

A hadeeth was narrated which forbids castration of animals, and horses in particular, but it is da’eef (weak). 

That was narrated by Ahmad (4769) from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade castrating horses and other animals. Ibn ‘Umar said: Because that is how they increase in number. Shu’ayb al-Arna’oot said in Tahqeeq al-Musnad: Its isnaad is da’eef (weak); it was narrated in mawqoof form and in marfoo’ form, and the mawqoof form is the one which is saheeh.   

Maalik and others regarded castration of horses as makrooh. He said: There is nothing wrong with castrating them if they are to be eaten. Al-Muntaqa by al-Baaji (7/268). 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: As for castration, it is permissible if it serves an interest, but necessary steps must be taken to avoid causing pain to the animal. End quote from Liqa’ al-Baab il-Maftooh (37/15). 

Conclusion: There is nothing wrong with castrating animals whose meat is eaten, according to the majority of scholars, so long as that is done for a reason and care is taken to avoid causing pain to the animal.

Fiqh of Menstruation (3 of 4)

Length of Menstrual Period

Menstrual period is over when the blood stops, regardless of whether the blood was a lot or a little. Many Jurists stated that the shortest length of a woman’s period is a day and a night, and the longest is fifteen days and the most correct is that there is no minimum or maximum length for it; when the bleeding is present with its distinct qualities, this is menstruation. Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa, 19/237

Signs that her Menstrual Period has ended

These are:

1. The white discharge which comes from the womb to show that the period is over. al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kuwaitiyyah (23/279).

2. Complete dryness; she can find out if her period has ended by inserting a piece of white cotton or something similar into the place where the blood comes from; if it comes out clean, then her period is over and she has to do ghusl and pray. If the cloth comes out red, yellow or brown, she should not pray. The women used to send small containers in which were these cloths with traces of yellow on them to ‘A'ishah Radiyallahu 'aniha, and she would say, “Do not hasten until you see the white discharge.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari mu’allaqan. Kitaab al-Hayd, Baab iqbaal al-muhayd wa idbaarihi. Also by Maalik, 130), al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, no. 198, al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kuwaitiyyah (18/295), Radd al-Muhtaar (1/289), Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn Baaz (29/116), Risaalat al-Dima’ al-Tabee’iyyah (59).

Yellow or Brownish Discharge after Woman’s Period

A yellow or brownish discharge when a woman does not have her period or when her period has stopped does not mean anything, and she should not stop praying or do ghusl because of it. Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “We did not bother about any yellow or brownish discharge after a woman’s period was over.” Abu Dawood, 307. al-Bukhaari, 320, an-Nasaa’i, 468; Ibn Maajah, 647, Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn Baaz (10/207-208), Thamaraat at-Tadween, p. 24, 25, Mawsoo‘ah Ahkaam at-Tahaarah by Shaykh Abu ‘Umar al-Dabyaan (may Allah preserve him), 6/281-299; al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 18/296; al-Mughni, 1/202; al-Majmoo‘, 2/422, al-Dima’ al-Tabee’iyyah li’l-Nisa’ (p. 19) Fataawa Arkaan al-Islam (p. 258) al-Majmoo‘ (2/562), Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (4/222 vol. 2) (4/206), al-Mughni by Ibn Qudaamah (1/214)

To be cont…Inshaa Allah

May Allah grant us understanding of His religion and accept it as an act of ‘ibadah

ON ORO FESTIVAL _( Festival that restrict females movement )_
Oro Festival is an annual festival in most places in Yoruba land. Most places in Oyo state, Osun state, Ogun state and others mark this traditional festival yearly to the extent that a city in Oyo is called ISEYIN-ORO.
Odun Oro as mostly called is the festival that restrict the movement of women and young girls partially or totally throughout the period (at most a month). That period, women and young girls are not allowed to go to their schools and places of work in the name of the festival. The doers often claimed misfortune for those that violates their which is to go out among females. Haba, What a wicked festival!
Even, civilization apary, a person having very little sense of humor would know that the festival should be cancelled. Why? Because adequate measures have been put in place from time to time to fight insurgency- that threaten the life of individuals so that there could be freedom, policemen go out to ensure people are saved. How would you leave such festival that claimed misfortune for females unbanned?
In Nigeria of today, there are three recognised religion; Islam, Christianity and Traditional. Islam as it connotes peace, her believers celebrate thier weekly and annual festivals (Jumat, Eid il Fitri and Eid I'll Kabeer), people rejoice with them without restricting thier movement. Christians on the other hand celebrate Christmas, Easter and new year, people rejoice with them and also their freedom does not altered. How would the minorities in Nigeria, I mean the traditionalists be allowed to restrict our female movements in the name of their evil festival? Practise your believes and let practise ours.
It is even bizarre for such restriction to hold in this country after it was stated clearly in our constitution that every citizens should practise his religion freely without disturbing others, how would our government laid with the constitution and look at this without any say.
Our women are also the problem, they entertain fear and think their going out would truly led to their misfortune. How would a believer who listens to preaches in their respective worship places that no one can bring joy and misfortune except what thier creator has ordained believe this crooked lie. If you are still afraid, then let me remind you of a pious pregnant Muslim sister in Iseyin who came out during their festival period sometime ago, she was to them possessed by their god but fortunately the sister gave birth to triplet that night. Is that fortune or misfortune?
To this end, I am using this medium to call on all Nigerian who are females to disregard their lie and go out during this period and have it in mind that nothing would happen to them. Oro festival is an evil festival that should be abolished. Join me in campaigning this too!

Great Nairalanders,

The issue of Electricity in this blessed country has been my great concerns especially in the area I found myself. Even, they hardly give 30 minutes power in some places and it is not an overstatement that many places have Electricity only when they (NEPA or PHCN or Distribution Companies or what is their name called) want to distribute Electricity bills. This is annoying a times.

I called a Master in China who said he has experienced uninterrupted power supply since he got there since 3 months ago.

So do you think Nigeria can be like those countries in terms of electricity and what measures do you think we can use?

- The president made a call to Osun state governor, Rauf Aregbesola, to commiserate with him over the demise of his mother
- Alhaja Saratu, the matriarch of the Aregbesola family, passed on earlier this week.

More outpour of love and support has been shown to Osun state governor, Rauf Aregbesola, who lost his mother.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari who is on medical leave in London has joined the list of sympathizers
He called Governor Aregbesola to console him over the death of his mother, Alhaja Saratu.

President Buhari who has been away in a telephone call expressed sympathy with the Osun state governor and eulogised Aregbesola's mother Alhaja Saratu.

In his telephone conversation with Aregbesola, Buhari said Alhaja Saratu is worthy of commendable honour following her sacrifices in giving her children good moral upbringing.
Buhari prayed for the soul of the deceased and for the Aregbesola family which she left behind in mourning.
