The Mercy of Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)–Rather (open for them) the door of mercy and repentance

Narrated Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu anhumaa): The Quraish said to the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi wasallam): ”Invoke your Lord to bring forth for us a mountain of gold and we shall believe in you.” He (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said (to them): “Will you do so?” They said, “Yes”. He (sallal-laahu-alayhi wasallam) invoked (Allaah), so Jibreal came to him and said: “Indeed, your Lord conveys His peace and blessings upon you and He says: “If you wish there will be a mountain of gold for them and whoever amongst them disbelieves after that, then I will punish him with a punishment such as I have not inflicted on anyone among all (mankind and Jinn); and if you wish I will open for them the door of repentance and mercy.” He (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ”Rather (open for them) the door of repentance and mercy.”

Pregnancy in Ramadhaan – Fasting or Paying Fidyah or Making Up the Fasts – Shaykh Al Albani

‘SILSILAH FATAAWAA JEDDAH’ CASSETTE SERIES (no.25) OF SHAIKH AL-ALBAANEE -rahimahullaah:

Questioner : “I read in a book that if the pregnant women or the breast-feeding women fear for themselves, or for their child, that they should abstain from fasting, and should feed a needy person in place of each day, and that it is not obligatory upon them to make up the days. So how correct is this saying? We hope that you can clarify.”

Shaikh al-Albaanee: “Making up the days is not obligatory upon them, but rather kaffaarah (compensation) of feeding a needy person for each day is obligatory. This is the correct answer.

As for the aforementioned condition, i.e. that if the pregnant woman or a breast-feeding woman fear for themselves or for their child, then this condition is just an ijtihaad (personal deduction) from some of the scholars, and it should not be put as a duty upon the pregnant woman or the breast-feeding woman, because the Prophet (ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ و ﺳﻠﻢ) said:

Allaah -the Exalted and Most High- has remitted fasting from the pregnant woman and the breast-feeding woman.1

Then Ibn `Abbaas said in explanation of His Saying -He the Most High:

[Observing Saum (fasts)] for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskîn (poor person) (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast, is better for you if only you know.[] [Sooratul-Baqarah (2):184]

[[Meaning: So whoever amongst you is ill, or upon a journey, then let him fast the same number of other days; and as for those of you who can fast with difficulty, then they have the option of feeding a needy person in place of each day.]]

Ibn `Abbaas -radiyallaahu `anhu- said: “Upon the pregnant woman and the breast-feeding woman is to feed (the needy).”

Meaning the aforementioned condition is not to be found, i.e. that the pregnant woman and the breast-feeding woman have to fear for themselves or for their child.”

[Part 1]Our Previous Teacher Was Beloved to Us, But Not Anymore–He is A Staunch Defender of a Mubtadi!

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

Sufyaan ath-Thawree (d. 161H, rahimahullaah) said: “If you loved a man for Allaah and then he innovated in Islaam and you didn’t hate him for it, you never truly loved him for Allaah.” http://maktabah-alfawaaid.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/ath-thawree-if-you-loved-man-for-allaah.html

By the Tawfeeq of Allaah (The Most High), the sensible students of Al-Hajoori, the sensible Salafi students in the Uk and the Maraakiz of Salafiyyah have abandoned the vile Haddaadi Innovator Yahyah Al-Hajoori. But sadly, our previous teacher—a friend of Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi– still defends him and expresses rage against us for transmitting the verdicts of the scholars. We have not criticised him except due to his defence of a vile Haddaadi Innovator. Indeed, it is very sad that this bigot has once again embarked upon the destructive path of exaggeration whilst propagating falsehood, half-truths and confounding truth with falsehood, especially in this blessed month of Ramadhaan—defending an innovator!

Would it be praiseworthy if we still love this previous teacher or listen to his opinions even though he persists in his fanatical and bigoted defence of Al-Hajoori the Haddaadi, the Innovator?! Why is it that this man–over forty years of age—cannot still comprehend and accept reality?! Yes he was beloved to us in the past because he was not a defender of any innovator, but at present he is abandoned and given no consideration due to his persistence upon bigotry, fanaticism and falsehood?!

Inshaa-Allaah, we will reply to all his foolish and ill-informed attempts, which he hopes will aid him in propagating half-truths and confounding truth with falsehood. May Allaah guide him and make him realise his foolish behaviour. And may He (The Most High) grant him Tawfeeq to realise the consequences of defending a Mubtadi, rather one of the most harmful of them, as the carrier of the flag of criticism and praise of individuals, groups, parties and sects in our era–Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee al-Madkhalee–stated: see link: http://salaficentre.com/2013/05/shaykh-rabee-we-have-remained-patient-for-7-years-with-yahya-al-hajoori/

Our Salaf: Their concern for the youth’s education in the Deen

Abu Khaythama narrated to us, (saying): Muhammad Ibn Fudayl related to us from Al-A’mash from Ismaa’eel Ibn Rajaa who said: ”We used to gather the children and narrate (hadeeth) to them.”

Shaikh Uthaymeen said: ”Why would they not be from the most ignorant of people……!

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

”And when it is said to them (hypocrites): “Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him, Al-Ansar and Al-Muhajirun) have believed,” they say: “Shall we believe as the fools have believed?” Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.” [Soorah Al-Baqarah Ayah: 13]

Shaikh Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said:

From the benefits of the ayah is an indication to the ignorance of the hypocrites, because Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) negated knowledge from them due to His saying:”But they know not.” The reality is that they are from the most ignorant of people. Why would they not be from the most ignorant of people!–for indeed their path is deception, manipulation and misguidance. These hypocrites are from the most ignorant of people because they do not know the reality about themselves and that they are foolish (people).

Our Salaf: What if they saw the fabricators and pretenders amongst the innovators of today?!

Abu khaythama narrated to us, (saying): Jareer related to us from Mansoor from Abu Ad-Duhaa from Masrooq, (who) said:”Once we were sitting with Abdullaah (Ibn Mas’ood) whilst he was reclining; then a man came to him and said: ”O Abu Abdir-Rahmaan! Verily there is a story teller at the doors of Kinda claiming that the portent of the Smoke will come along and snatch the breaths of the disbelievers (i.e. take their souls away) and the believers will get something like a cold from it.” So Abdullaah said while sitting up and he was angry, ”O people fear Allaah! Whoever amongst you has knowledge of something, then he should speak with what he knows; and whoever does not know, then he should say, ”Allaah knows best”; because it the best of knowledge for one of you to say, ”Allaah knows best” with regards to things he has no knowledge of. Indeed, Allaah (The Most High) said to His Prophet (alayhis-salaam): ”Say (O Muhammad): No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur’aan), not am I one of the Mutakallifun (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist)” [Soorah Saad. Ayah: 86. English Trans. Dr Taqi-ud Din Al-Hilali and Dr Muhsin khan]
