Is Shaving ones Head a Sign of being from the Khawarijj? | Shaikh ‘Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Video.

Translated by Abu Zainab (Muhammad Al-Hindee)

Question

It is reported from the characteristics of the Khawaarij that they shave their heads, is that authentic? And what does it mean?

Shaikh ‘Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad al-Badr:

“The characteristic of the Khawaarij is that they shave their heads, and this is a characteristic and a sign of theirs; but it is reported in the Sunnah what proves that the shaving of (the head) during other than the Hajj and the Umrah (period) is permissible, and that there is no harm in it. But the prohibition is that one takes the Khawaarij as an example and imitates them.”

The Mu-aqqibaat- By Ibn Abbaas [radiyallaahu-anhu]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam.

Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhu) said about the statement of Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) ”For each (person), there are Mu-aqqibaat in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah.”  They are the angels that protect the person by the command of Allaah; but when what has been decreed for him arrives, they leave him.  [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page: 199]

Our Salaf: Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah)

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam.

Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah) used to stand for long during the night whilst holding his beard and saying: ”O my Lord: Indeed, you know the dwellers of Paradise and the dwellers of the fire; so which of the two abodes is Maalik’s dwelling place?!” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:68]

How worried are we with this affair?!  If this was the concern of Maalik Bin Deenaar (a devout worshipper and man of waraa and taqwah), then how much do we worry about this afair in a day, a week, a month and in a year!?  We ask Allaah for protection from heedlessness and false hopes.
