He Doubted Whether He Ate After Fajr…..

Question: 

I woke up late from sleep, and then I went to the refrigerator and eat a morsel of food and drank some water. I went out after that in order to ascertain the time and heard the Fajr Adhaan; so I withheld from (eating) and completed the (day’s) fasting. What is the ruling on this fasting of mine?

 

Answer:

The initiate affair (with regards to this is that the fasting) is correct Inshaa-Allaah. Your fasting is correct as long as it is not ascertained that your eating was after fajr. The initial affair (with regards to this is that the fasting) is correct and it is not obligatory upon you to repeat (the fast); because the scholars say: ”Whoever eats whilst being doubtful about the approach of the fajr, his fasting is correct.” [Al-Fataawaa Wad-Duroos Fil-Masjidil Haraam of Shaikh Abdullaah Bin Muhammad Bin Humaid (rahimahullaah) page: 507] 


Catastrophe of Logic: Sacrificial Blood

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمد لله و الصلاة و السلام على رسول الله و على اله و صحبه و من والى

We demonstrate our gratitude to Allah subhaanahu wa ta’ala for the blessing he has bestowed upon us in decreeing for us life to witness another blessed month of Ramadan. For indeed it is a time of goodness, and an opportunity to obtain righteous actions; a month in which Allah subhaanahu wa ta’ala bestowed upon the believers blessings in times that have come to pass, and does not cease to bestow upon them in times that are present and to come. For indeed in this blessed month Allah revealed the Qur’an as a guidance and criterion to His slaves, just as Allah honoured Islam and its people and disgraced disbelief and its followers in the Battle of Badr.

In recognition of the blessings of this month, it was from the mannerisms of the Salaf as-Saalih to strive in magnifying the benefit from the time presented to them. Hence, they would reduce their engagement in necessary worldly affairs in order that they may create for themselves abundant periods of times for sitting in the houses of Allah, and so they would gather and study together the Qur’an. Indeed they were devoted and earnest in guarding over the time Ramadan presented, by way of standing in prayer in the nights and fasting and reciting the Qur’an and supplicating to Allah during the days.

We therefore advise ourselves and noble readers to strive in this blessed month with that which will be of benefit in this life and the Hereafter, and to distance ourselves from all forms of futile speech and activity. Undoubtedly, those who have but a miniscule share from knowledge of this religion will continue to engage in pitiful and detestable activities, firstly as a further degradation to their own obtuse and deficient intellects, and secondly as a degradation to the organisations they speak on behalf of, who – for reasons bewildering and unknown, and from what is becoming apparent, deceptive – fail to declare their innocence of such dismal and deplorable individuals despite the request for a public clarification directed to them…it would appear Masjid Sunnah have encountered undue “complications” in being able to free themselves of their infatuated disgraceful defender?

In any case, refusal to free themselves of the fallen “dawaman” and failure to openly clarify that he is a pitiful miskeen who is working alone and falsification of the claim that he is in association with Masjid Sunnah, will indicate Abu Bilal was in fact attempting to deceive us with his apparent declaration of innocence in order to preserve the dignity of Masjid Sunnah. It is materialising that in reality it is an alliance between themselves at Masjid Sunnah and their racist, abusive “dawaman” with an intellectual capacity inferior to that of an average child as we demonstrated, thereupon the disgrace and humiliation of the “dawaman” they so desired to keep a “secret” and separate from themselves to maintain credibility will befall them.

How amazing is the affair of the hizbiyyeen, wandering through an intricate maze incapable of discovering the route to escape, rather at every attempt and turn they find the avenues closed before them; hence upon this despondent and disconsolate state when all hope of liberation has been relinquished, no other escape is presented to their corrupt minds other than to dishonestly and deviously cut though the hedges of the maze in an attempt to create a deceitful and fraudulent avenue to saviour, such is the deception that is witnessed. Whereas Ahlus-Sunnah, the Salafiyyoon walhamdulillah are not in need of deception nor such unscrupulous methods, since the truth is accepted and acknowledged as it is presented; the truth regarding the deviance of Abul-hasan Al-Ma’riby, the truth regarding the deviance of Ali Hasan al-Halaby, the truth regarding the deviance of Al-Maghrawy, the truth regarding the deviance of Abu Osama ad-Dhahaby; hence the route and pathway to success is as clear as the sun in the sky and no need presents itself to create deceptive alternatives.

Perhaps upon realising the reality of the evidences against the methodology they wish to tread upon, no feasible alternative to escape from the maze could be discovered other than the perverted creation of a vile, despicable, ignoble, cowardly racist “secret identity” who would cut the hedges for them; only for them to later claim that the individual who cut the hedges is not from them [!].

It is of no surprise that such disgrace and humiliation has befallen these individuals if they continue upon the defence of such humiliated cowardly “secret identities” and refuse to free themselves of them, although privately backstabbing their racist defender in an act of treachery….or perhaps a failed attempt at deception? The cowardly “secret identity” who abuses others in the most abhorrent manner in associating one of the brothers to the lineage of abdullah ibn ubayy ibn salool and george bush….we seek refuge in Allah from the tongues of such debase and despicable individuals, individuals who have reached levels of disgrace beyond description with such behaviour. The cowardly “secret identity” who racially abuses one of the brothers and then makes a feeble attempt to disguise his shame and humiliation by providing a “lol” response with another racist comment Allahu Akbar. The cowardly “secret identity” that alleges al-Markas as-Salafi are upon the incorrect methodology and yet his own revolting behaviour and tongue deem it necessary for any sane individual who wishes to protect himself and his religion to distance himself and completely disregard the corrupt speech circulated via email under the cowardly “dawaman” secret identity.

We thank Allah that the reality of the humiliated, disgraced, and in reality somewhat sorrowful racist “dawaman” has become apparent to all readers. We still await for Masjid Sunnah to clarify their relationship – is it, as Abu Bilal claimed, that they are innocent of him and he is an isolated miskeen alone with his laptop struggling to find suitable uses for his time other than to disgrace himself, or is he actually an ally? Clearly the question creates a difficult scenario for Masjid Sunnah….perhaps a greater level of thought and intellect was required before the creation of the “dawaman”?

It is for Masjid Sunnah to decide; sacrifice Abu Bilal and declare him a liar in his statement that they are free of the “dawaman” and therefore accept their share of the humiliation that has befallen this “dawaman”, or sacrifice the “dawaman” and save Abu Bilal by affirming what Abu Bilal stated in his declaration of innocence of him, and therefore declare “dawaman” null and void, rendering his emails for direction to the “junk” sections of the recipients.

SubhaanAllah, amazing are the thought processes of those incessant upon aligning themselves with and defending the innovators, whilst waging war against the salafiyyeen and belittling the detailed refutations of scholars, the likes of our noble Shaikh Rabee’, Shaikh Ahmad an-Najmy and many others…..a true catastrophe of logic.

We ask Allah to make us steadfast in this blessed month and keep us firm upon the correct methodology and to distance us from the deceit and deception witnessed by opposers to the pure methodology.

Does Wet Dream Break The Fasting of a Person?

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Question: What is the ruling regarding being in a state of Janaabah during the daytime in Ramadaan; Does the one whom Janaabah comes upon breaks his fasting, and what is obligatory upon him to do?

Answer: Your question manifests the affair of the one who had a (wet) dream- meaning: You slept and had a dream and Janaabah came upon you, and not by way of sexual intercourse; rather you had a dream. So, have you broken your fasting?  Your fasting is sound [i.e. valid and not nullified],  however what is incumbent upon you is to take a bath, but (wet) dream during sleep does not ruin the fast. Your fasting is correct and nothing is incumbent upon you Inshaa-Allaah; rather what is incumbent upon you is to perform the bath of Janaabah only.

This did not take place due to sexual intercourse and what is well known [to ruin the fast] is sexual intercourse whilst being awake. This is what is disallowed and forbidden, and there is expiation for it. The [scholarly] statement about the sleeping person is that if he has a (wet) dream whilst sleeping, then his fasting is correct and what is incumbent upon him is to take a bath.

Can He Break His Fast And Shorten His Prayer Even If He stayed there for a year?

Question:

A man travelled outside the kingdom of (Saudi Arabia) and he is from the people of Makkah; so what is the ruling on him if he breaks his fast and shortens his prayer until he returns, even if he stayed (in his place of travel) for a year?

 

Answer:

For instance: if he resides in a land for the purpose of studying-to study medicine or something else- it is neither permissible for him to break his fast nor shorten his prayers because the ruling on (him) is that of a resident. However, if you are from those just passing quickly (i.e. travelling), there is no harm in breaking the fast and shortening the prayer. Meaning: you are just passing through this land and are not residing there except for a day or two, or three days, and then proceeding to another land to fulfill a need over there; or you’re on a tour and just staying for two to three days, then there is no harm in breaking the fast and shortening the prayer. This is what the Islamic Legislation came with. As for taking out five months, ten months, a year or two in the name of studying or other than it, and then saying that you will break the fast and shorten the prayer, this is neither correct nor permissible.

Shaykh Fawzaan: What is the meaning of the statement of Imaam Malik rahimahullah?

 

Shaykh Fawzaan was asked:

 

Question:

Is the statement of Imam Maalik rahimahullah: “Everyone’s statement can be taken or rejected except for the companion of this grave” Is this in the matters of Islamic Jurisprudence only and not in matters of Creed ?

 

Answer:

There is no (legitimate) differing in the matters of Creed (Aqeedah). There is no scope in (choosing to) take or reject (Issues of Aqeedah) because they are affairs founded upon the texts (of the Book and Sunnah) rather this (statement) is only (applicable) in the issues of jurisprudence. The speech of everyone in agreement with the evidences is taken and that which opposes the evidences is rejected. This is what Imaam Maalik (rahimahullah) intended.

Shaykh Fawzaan: What is meaning of the statement of Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah)…. UPDATED

Shaykh Fawzaan was asked:

Question:

What is meaning of the statement of Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah “Whoever opposes the ijmaa (consensus of the scholars) then indeed he has disbelieved”?

Answer:

Yes! Allah said this:

{And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believer’s way, We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell – What an evil destination!}        Surah An-Nisa’ Verse 115

And this is an evidence upon the one who opposes the ijmaa, that indeed he has disbelieved.

Shaykh Fawzaan: Advice regarding parking cars…

We have said to you more than once; do not park your cars in front of people’s gates/doors, people want to go in and out and carry things. So do not harm the people; May Allah reward you with good. It’s not a must that you park your car at the mosque; park it in (another) place, even if it is far from the mosque. Do not harm anyone and do not annoy or irritate anyone. (By parking in front of their drives,gates etc)

Shaykh Fawzaan: Whoever worships Allah with…..

Shaykh Fawzaan was asked:

 

Question:

What is the ruling on those who say: We only worship Allah with love for him and we do not fear his punishment and we do not desire his reward?

 

This is a statement of the soofiyah; it is an error and refuge is sought with Allah. This is in opposition to the methodology of (all of) the Prophets (alayhimus Salaatu was Salaam).

 

Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call upon Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us. [Surah Al-Anbiya’ Verse 90]

 

Those whom they call upon [like Isa (Jesus) – son of Maryam (Mary), Uzair (Ezra), angel] desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah), as to which of them should be the nearest; and they [Isa (Jesus), Uzair (Ezra), angels and others] hope for His Mercy and fear His torment. Indeed the torment of your Lord is (something) to be afraid of. [Surah Al-Isra Verse 57]

 

Therefore, whoever worships Allah with fear only then he is a Khaarij; whoever worships Allah with hope only then he is from the murji’ah and whoever worships Allah with love only then he is a Soofi.

And (finally) whoever worships Allah with Love, Hope and Fear then he is a believer upon Tawheed.

I wanted to travel in the morning and I made an intention to fast…….

Question:

I wanted to travel in the morning and I made an intention to fast, but at the time of Dhur I felt some difficulty, is it permissible for me to break the fast; and if I break the fast, what is the expiation for that?

Answer:

There is no harm to break your fast if you are travelling, even if you did make an intention to fast. As long as you have left the country, (or the boundaries of your city), it is permissible for you to break the fast; rather it is better (to break the fast). As for if you are in the country (or within the boundaries of your city) and you have not travelled yet, it is impermissible (to break the fast), and it is impermissible for you to break the fast as long as you are in the country (or within the boundaries of your city).

But for example, you are to travel tomorrow and at present you have made an intention to fast and then you travelled, it is permissible for you to break the fast whether you encounter difficulty or not, and expiation is not incumbent upon you.

As for if you intended to travel and made an intention to fast, but you did not get to travel and you broke your fasting when Dhur came, then you are forbidden to do this and you have committed a crime. It is incumbent upon you to repent and repay that day’s fast. However, if breaking the fast was done after you (started) travel, then there is no harm (in this) Inshaa-Allaah.

Shaykh Fawzaan: What are the good and desired actions that are sought after in the blessed month of Ramadhaan?

Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan hathidahullah was asked:

 

Question:

What are the good and desired actions that are sought after in the blessed month of Ramadhaan?

 

Answer:

The good and desired actions in Ramadhaan are many. The most important of them is to uphold the performance of that which Allah has obligated in Ramadhaan and other than Ramadhaan; such as praying and fasting, then increasing upon that to the supererogatory actions; from them: the recitation of the quran, the taraweeh prayers, tahajjud, (giving of) charity, i’tikaaf and increasing upon the remembrance (of Allah), the utterance of subhaanAllah, laa ilaaha illAllah, Allahu Akbar and sitting in the masjid for worship, and protecting the fast from that which will nullify it or that which will make it deficient of forbidden detestable actions and statements.
