“whoever washes a dead person then upon him is to make ghusl and whoever carries the dead then he has to perform wudoo”?
And is this the command of obligation or recommendation? And why?
Answer:
The aforementioned Hadith is weak; and verily it has been affirmed from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in other narrations, that which indicates the recommendation of performing ghusl after washing a dead person.
As for carrying (the dead person) then it is not correct to make wudoo and neither is it recommended, owing to the lack of evidence in this regard.
In recent days the group called Hizb at-Tahrir have stepped up there corrupt efforts at misguiding the Muslim youth; Hizb at-Tahrir disbelieve in many affairs of our Religion of Islaam; affairs which our Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) informed us about in authentic narrations many of which are reported in the most authentic books after the Noble Quraan: Sahih al Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
From some of the affairs which they reject:
1. Questioning in the Grave by Munkar and Nakeer
2. Punishment of the grave
3. The bridge over the Hellfire
and many more affairs as well in addition to this.
These misguided deviant individuals
make general takfir and (declare Muslims to be disbelievers)across the whole of the Muslim nation.
Their founder (whose works they fanatically cling to, in clear opposition to the Quraan and Sunnah) to is an individual called Taqi udDeen an Nabahaani see link at bottom for more information regarding this individual, his corrupt beliefs and his calling to deviation away from the guidance which Allah legislated for us.
Their main call and focus is in opposition to the methodology of Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم), which when we look at his biography, life and events we can see this is quite clearly the case.
Please watch the video in the link to hear our brother Abu Khadeejah clarify their affair to us.
BaarakAllaah feekum
I make dua tht Allah subhaanahu wa t’ala protects us from deviant beliefs and the callers to misguidance.
Has everyone disbelieved who curses the religion or rejects the sunnah?
He answered hafidahullah:
There is no doubt whatsoever in this; whoever curses the religion or rejects the Sunnah then verily he has disbelieved, because he is a denier and disbeliever in the Sunnah; also he who curses Allah’s religion, which Allah has chosen for his slaves; then he has cursed that which Allah has chosen for his slaves and legislated for them, so this one has cursed Allah -azza wa jal- there is no doubt at all of his disbelief , he who belittles Allah (and attributes deficiencies to him; Glorified and far removed is Allah from all imperfections) .
Please note that declaring a specific individual to have disbelieved and left the fold of Islaam is an affair that is to be returned back to the Scholars and it is not for other than them to declare a specific individual to have disbelieved.
Is it obligatory upon the woman to wear the jilbab and coverings, if there was difficulties for her in that country?
The shaykh hafidahullaah answers:
Yes the coverings and the hijab are binding upon her in any country, because she is a Muslima. So do not bargain and compromise with her religion, honour and dignity.

Is this supplication considered comprehensive and sufficient over the other supplications:
‘O Allah indeed I ask you for the good which your prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam and your righteous slaves asked you for’
Answer:
This is a tremendous supplication, however it does not remove the need for the remaining supplications; rather the people supplicate with all the supplications they are aware of, increasing (in) good and he doesn’t restrict himself upon any one (supplication).
The prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam did not restrict himself upon one (supplication) rather he used to supplicate with this one sometimes, this one sometimes and this one sometimes (i.e he would vary the supplications he would make).

What is the ruling on delaying (following) the Imaam whether it was during Rukoo (bowing) or whilst in the state of prostration or other than that for the purpose of supplicating , and what is the proof?
Answer:
The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The Imaam is to be followed”1 so there is no delaying (of following) the Imaam and there is no preceding him. The Imaam is followed and this is that which the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) commanded. ” Bow when he bows, prostrate when he prostrates, and when he says ‘Sami Allahu liman-hamidah (Allah heard those who sent praises to Him) say then ‘Rabbana wa lakal-hamd’ (O our Lord! All the praises are for you)”2
So the Imaam is to be followed; this is that which the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) commanded with.
If I exited from the masjid for a period of ten minutes then I returned is the greeting of the masjid (2 rakaat) binding upon me?
Answer:
If you exited with the intention to return and you returned soon then the greeting of the masjid is not upon you, because you take the ruling of being sat in the Masjid. As for if the time was long, then when you return you perform the greeting of the masjid because the separation was long and the first sitting has finished and this is a second sitting.
