Do Not Forget This Business Transaction!!!

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Hajj, Dhul Hijjah, Eid al Adha, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaikh Abdur-Razzaaq al-Badr (may Allaah preserve him) said:

Indeed, it is the common practice of the business men of the world not to miss the big (trading) seasons; rather they make perfect preparations to bring goods, display merchandize, spend time and make great efforts.  And this (first ten days of Dhul Hijjah and the pilgrimage season) is a lucrative season for the trading of the afterlife and a perfect turning to Allaah [The Most High) in (obedience, submission, performance of good deeds, keeping away from sin, repentance etc.)

Rulings Regarding the Slaughtering – Sh.Ibn Baz and Sh.Ibn ul-Uthaymeen

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Hajj, Dhul Hijjah, Eid al Adha, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

There is often much discussion and questioning that arises upon the issue of slaughtering, particularly on behalf of those family members who have passed away. This article will mention in a brief and summarised form some of the affairs linked to that from the speech of Shaikh bin Baz and Shaikh ibn ul-Uthaymeen رحمهما الله insha’Allah.

Firstly, as Shaikh bin Baz mentioned, the actual act of slaughtering is a highly recommended Sunnah, and not an obligation in the opinion of many of the people of knowledge. It is an act an individual should do on behalf of himself and his household.

The individual intending it cannot take from his hair, nails or skin from the beginning of Dhul-Hijja until he slaughters [hadith of Umm Salama with almost identical wording in Saheeh Muslim].

If however the individual does not slaughter the animal himself and instead appoints someone on his behalf, perhaps some type of butcher or slaughter house, or abroad [although not recommended by some scholars to have it done abroad, since the purpose of the slaughtering is not merely feeding the poor, in that instance everyone is able to send money as charity abroad any time, rather the slaughtering is a symbolic act in Islam which has benefits to the one slaughtering himself too, since it is Sunnah for the one slaughtering to eat from it himself and give to his relatives and neighbours], then in that case it is still the one who pays for the slaughtering that cannot take from his nails, hair and skin – as for the butcher or slaughter house people then they are free to do as they please regarding their hair, nails and skin since they are not the one intending the slaughter and paying for it, they are simply carrying out the act on behalf of someone else [Shaikh bin Baz].

Clearly as the Sunnah states, the individual slaughters for himself and his household, one slaughtering encompasses them all. However the issue at hand is regarding those who have passed away from the household; are they able to receive the reward for the slaughtering and therefore be included in the intention?

Shaikh ibn ul-Uthaymeen mentions this  issue can be sectioned into 3 categories:

1 – Slaughtering on behalf of a deceased individual who had actually given councel [stated in their “will”] to have a slaughtering done for them from their wealth; in this instance it is done and implemented as the deceased wished and is actually obligatory to carry out.

2 – An individual slaughters for himself and his family who are alive and present within his household, and within that also intends members that have passed away for the reward; once again this is correct and permissible.

3 – An individual slaughters specifically and exclusively on behalf of a deceased individual without including his living family in the intention or having any will upon that from the deceased; this issue is the point of discussion between the people of knowledge.

Shaikh ibn ul-Uthaymeen states that it has not been evidenced from the Salaf-us-Salih that they ever slaughtered independantly and exclusively for a deceased individual in this manner, rather the correct way is to slaughter normally for yourself and your living and present household and within that have the intention for the deceased members to receive the reward too, the father or mother etc. Although the Shaikh does not say that doing it exclusively is haraam or innovation, but instead states it is better to stick to the Sunnah as it has been evidenced.

Some scholars have stated however that perhaps slaughtering on behalf of the deceased exclusively could be viewed as a form of charity, or at the very least be comparable to charity and therefore permissible, although Shaikh ibn ul-Uthaymeen states in that case it is a stronger act to simply give in charity rather than opting for an alternative action that is only “comparable” and not the same. In conclusion therefore, Shaikh Uthaymeen views that it should not be done exclusively for the deceased.

[2] Benefits From Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi’s (rahimahullaah) Explanation of Kitaab At-Tawheed

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

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

”And I did not create Jinn and Mankind except that they should worship Me (alone)” [Soorah Dhariyaat: Ayah: 56]

 

The worlds of the creatures with intellectual discernment are three (in number):

[1] The world of (creatures with intellectual discernment) in which there is only good and no evil, and they are the angels. 

[2] The world of (creatures with intellectual discernment) in which there is only evil and no goodness, and they are the devils.

[3] The world of (creatures with intellectual discernment) in which Allaah (gives them the freewill to choose between) good and evil, and there is more goodness amongst them. The other world (in this third category) is that of (those creatures with intellectual discernment) in which Allaah (gives them the freewill to choose between) good and evil and there is more evil amongst them.

 

The world of Jinn and Mankind are the worlds in which Allaah (allows them and gives them the freewill to choose between) good and evil, and Allaah created them to worship Him (alone).  The devils are a species from the Jinn, but they rebelled and all of them became evil.  And that is why Allaah (The Most High) said: [وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ] ”And I (Allaah) did not create the Jinn and Mankind except to worship Me.”

 

The devils are a species from the Jinn, and Allaah created Jinn and mankind to worship Him (alone), as He stated in this (above) ayah.  And amongst them (i.e. Jinn and Mankind) are those who fulfil the worship of Allaah (alone) and they are the believers, and amongst them are those who do not fulfil it; rather they wilfully turned away and became arrogant, and they are the various types of disbelievers.

 

It is sufficient for us to know that Allaah created us to worship Him (alone) and it is obligatory upon us to fulfil the purpose for which Allaah created us.   And worship is obedience alongside humility and lowering oneself in the presence of Allaah [The One, The Irresistible].  And when it is the case that the nations did become overwhelmed with ignorance, apathy and forgetfulness, and busied themselves with the present worldly life and became heedless of the afterlife, Allaah sent Messengers to every nation to clarify the purpose for which they were created and brought into existence.

 

Allaah (The Most High) said:

[وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ]

”And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): “Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut (all false deities, etc. i.e. do not worship Taghut besides Allah).” [Soorah An-Nahl: Ayah: 36]

 

So Allaah informed (us) that He sent Messengers to the slaves–commanding them to worship Allaah (alone) and to stay away from all false deities.

Fear of the Jinn–Shaikh Rabee

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Monotheism - Tawheed, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

Does fearing the Jinn enter into natural fear or not?

 

Answer:

Fearing the jinn; if it is inner fear and if it is believed that the jinn can benefit and harm you, then this enters into shirk: ‘And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the masculine among the jinns, but they (jinns) increased them (mankind) in sin and disbelief.’ [Surah Al-Jinn Verse 6]

And in the most part/cases fear of the jinn – and Allah knows best – falls into the fear (that is regarded to be) worship; because it is believed that by way of it (jinn) you can be harmed or benefitted, whilst no one has the ability to cause harm or benefit except Allah, neither the jinn nor the people, as the Messenger of Allah sallaallaahu alaihi wa sallam said: “Know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with something, they would not benefit with anything except that which Allaah has already recorded for you. If they gather to harm you by something, they would not be able to harm you by anything except what Allaah has already recorded against you.” (Tirmidhee Hasan saheeh)

And the true believer does not fear (anyone or anything) except Allah (The Mighty and Majestic). “So fear them not, but fear me if indeed you are (true) believers” [Aali Imran verse 175]; Meaning the inner fear, the fear (that is regarded to be) worship.  As for fear of a snake, a lion or a corrupt person – meaning he who attacks you and you are not able to resist/fight him, then this is natural fear (and) it does not harm. This does not harm – Inshaa Allah – and it has no effect on the Aqeedah.

However fear of jinn in most cases is a fear established upon corrupted beliefs!  The Messenger sallaallaahu alaihi wa sallam has given you weapons and has taught you; Read ayatul kursi, read Surah al Falaq and Surah an Nas to be protected.  The remembrance of Allah (The Mighty and Majestic) protects you from them. Use the means which will protect you from them and from every type of harm—from snakes, scorpions and from other than them, (reciting):    َعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّة مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.) (Recite three times in the evening.)  If you said this nothing will come to you (of harm), neither a jinn nor a snake nor other than them.  Nothing will harm you (by permission of Allah) and this is (when) it is done with sincerity and truthfulness.  May Allah bless you all.

Most Virtuous – Last 10 of Ramadan or 1st 10 of Dhul Hijja?

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Fatawa-Rulings, Hajj, Dhul Hijjah, Eid al Adha, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Ramadhan, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Allah سبحانه و تعالى has favoured certain times and places over others, and the servants have been encouraged to increase in their worship and obedience to benefit from the additional virtues of such times. However a question has been posed from times of old; Which is more virtuous – the last 10 of Ramadan or the 1st 10 of Dhul-Hijja?

Ibn ul-Qayyim stated, “So if you were to ask which 20 are the best? [i.e. days with nights – the last 10 days and nights of Ramadan or the 1st 10 days and nights of Dhul Hijja], then the correct statement is to say that the last 10 nights of Ramadan are better than the 1st 10 nights of Dhul Hijja, however the 1st 10 days of Dhul Hijja are better than the last 10 days of Ramadan”.

Ibn Kathir stated,”Generally it has been said regarding these 10 days of Dhul Hijja that they are the best days of the year as the hadith stated, and many [scholars] preferred them over the last 10 of Ramadan. That is because the same affairs are legislated in these days of Dhul Hijja as the last 10 of Ramadan in terms of prayer and fasting and charity etc [so they are similar in that sense] however there is a distinguishing factor for the days of Dhul Hijja and that is the performance of Hajj in them.

Although it has [also] been said [in another opinion] that the last 10 of Ramadan are better because within them is the Night of Decree [laylat ul-Qadr].

However some [scholars] took a middle course in this and stated that the first 10 days of Dhul Hijja are better than the last 10 days of Ramadan, and that the last 10 nights of Ramadan are better than the nights of Dhul Hijja – and in this manner the evidences are combined”.

Is Fasting During The First Ten days of Dhul Hijja An Innovation-Shaikh Bin Baaz and Shaikh Uthaymeen

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

Shaikh Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) was asked: ”What is your view on the view of the one who says that fasting during the first ten days of Dhul Hijja is an innovation?

Answer:

This one is an ignoramus…

[Source: Majmoo Fataawaa 15/418]

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

We feel sorry for some of the people who bring doubt to the Muslims in this affair, saying that fasting it (i.e. the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja) is not a Sunnah.  Glorified be Allaah! I fear that Allaah will punish them on the day of judgement (i.e. for uttering this statement).  How can the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) say that ‘’there are not any days in which righteous actions are done that are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days’’ and then we leave out the righteous deed about which Allaah has stated: ‘’Indeed it (i.e. fasting) is for Me and I will reward it’’…..

Simplified Q & A on Hajj – Shaikh Bin Baz

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Fatawa-Rulings, Hajj, Dhul Hijjah, Eid al Adha, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The following are a selection of commonly asked questions regarding Hajj, all answers from Shaikh Bin Baz رحمه الله تعالى.

1- If an individual has a wet dream whilst in a state of Ihram then what is the ruling?

If he has a wet dream and semen exits then upon him is to have the ghusl and nothing more than that. Him being in state of ihram is still correct and is not harmed since a wet dream is not from his choosing to occur, and similar to that is a fasting person in the ruling.

2- Is it permissible to use soap that has a fragrance to it whilst in a state of Ihram, and also toothpaste?

There is no problem in that, since it is not considered as actual fragrance in its nature.

3- Is it permissible to wear some items of clothing on top of the Ihraam due to extreme cold or rain?

There is no problem in that, if an individual wore a cloth or something resembling that to protect himself from extreme cold or rain it is ok, however he must not cover his head.

4- If hair falls out accidentally does it harm my state of Ihraam?

If the hair falls out from a woman or man during wiping it in wudu or washing it then there is no issue, similarly if something from the beard of a man fell out whilst washing or making wudu then it does not harm the state of ihraam since it is not done with intent.

5- Is it permissible to place fragrance upon the Ihraam sheets before going into a state of Ihraam [i.e. so that the fragrance lasts after he becomes muhrim]?

It is not permissible to place fragrance upon the ihraam sheets even before going into a state of ihram, rather the Sunnah is to place fragrance upon his body, like his head or beard or underarms before assuming a state of ihram.

6- What is the ruling on fasting 9th Dhul Hijja?

It is Sunnah for everyone except for the one actually in Hajj, for indeed the Sunnah for the one actually in Hajj is to not be fasting on the day of ‘Arafah.

7- I incorrectly thought going from Safa to Marwa then back to Safa was one length, and therefore ended up doing 14 lengths [since Safa to Marwa is actually one] so what is the ruling?

Seven is the obligation, as for the other 7 it is from your own doing and not permissible, but you are excused due to your ignorance, however you should seek repentance and forgiveness and not do that again if you make Hajj or ‘Umra again.

 

Virtue of The First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Featured, Hajj, Dhul Hijjah, Eid al Adha, Purification of The Soul, Uncategorized, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

The virtues of the first ten days of Dhul Hijja

All praise is due to Allaah The Lord of the Aalameen and may the salaah and salaam be upon the leader of the Messengers.  To proceed

Indeed from the favours of Allaah is that He made for His righteous servants fixed days/time periods in which they can increase in the performance of righteous actions.  And amongst these fixed days/time periods are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja.  Indeed, the virtues of these  first days have been stated in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah

Allaah (The Most High) said

وَالفَجرِ وَلَيَالٍ عَشرٍ

By the dawn; By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijja

[Soorah al-Fajr: Ayah: 1-2]

Imaam Ibn katheer (rahimahullaah) said that the intended meaning behind this verse is the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja as stated by Ibn Abbaas, Ibn Zubayr, Mujaahid and other than them.  And this has also been reported by Imaam Bukhaari

Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said

“There are not any days in which righteous actions are done that are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days.” They said, “Oh Messenger of Allaah, not even jihad in Allaah’s cause?” He said, “Not even jihad in Allaah’s cause, except for a man who left out with his self and his wealth, and he did not return with either

Allaah (The Most High) said

وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَاتٍ [الحج: 82]

And mention the Name of Allah on appointed days (i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th day of Dhul-Hijja);  Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhu) said: They are the (first) ten days. Tafseer Ibn katheer

Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) said

The Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: There are no days greater in the (sight) of Allaah nor in which righteous actions are more beloved to Him than these (first) ten days; so increase Tahleel (i.e. Laa-ilaaha-ilal-laah), Takbeer (i.e. Allaahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (i.e. Al-Hamdulil-laah) [reported by Ahmad

And Saeed Ibn Jubayr who narrated the aforementioned hadeeth of Ibn Abbaas used to strive earnestly when the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja starts…. reported by Daarimee

Ibn Hajr (rahimahullaah) said in Al-Fath: What is apparent is that the reason the first ten days of Dhul Hijja are distinguished (with excellence) is because of what it gathers of the main foundational acts of worship, and they are: Salaah, Fasting, Charity and Hajj, which are not found in other them)

What are the recommended acts of worship in these first ten days

 Salaah: Give more emphasis and concern to the obligatory prayers and increase in optional prayers, because the prayer is amongst the greatest means of seeking nearness to Allaah

 Fasting: fasting is included amongst the righteous deeds.  Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) said about fasting the first days of Dhul-Hijja is strongly recommended

[3] The Takbeer, Tahleel and Tahmeed due to what has been reported in the Hadeeth of Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) that: ‘’Increase in Tahleel, Takbeer and Tahmeed in it (i.e. during these days).  Imaam Al-Bukhaari (rahimahullaah) said: Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) used to go to the market place during the first days of Dhul-Hijja whilst uttering the Takbeer and the people also used to do so alongside them

?How is the Takbeer performed

.الله أكبر. الله أكبر. الله أكبر. لا إله إلا الله. والله أكبر. . الله أكبر ولله الحمد

 

Fasting on the day of Arafah: Fasting on the day of Arafah is emphasized because of what has been narrated from the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) that the one who fasts the day of Arafah, his (minor) sins of the previous year and the year to come are forgiven by Allaah [reported by Muslim].  However, as for the one who is physically present at Arafah, it is disliked that he should fast, because the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) stood at Arafah whilst he was not fasting

How should the Muslim approach these days of goodness

The Muslim should approach these first days of goodness with sincere repentance to Allaah, keeping away from sins and disobedience; because sins prevents a person from receiving the favours of His Lord and veils his heart from his Protector- Allaah

Likewise, a person should approach these days with all good deeds.  He should strive to benefit from them by performing deeds that are pleasing to Allaah.  Allaah (The Most High) said

وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُواْ فِينَا لَنَهدِيَنَّهُمّ سُبُلَنَا [العنكبوت:69]

As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths (i.e. Allah’s Religion – Islamic Monotheism). And verily, Allah is with the Muhsinun (good doers).” Soorah Al-Ankaboot: Ayah: 69]

O brothers and sisters in Islaam! Let us be eager to take benefit from the ten days of Dhul Hijja before they elapse and we become regretful.  We ask Allaah to benefit us and yourselves in these days of goodness; and we ask Him (The Most High) to aid us to obey Him and perform acts of worship for His sake

Performing Hajj on Behalf of Someone – Shaikh Rabee’

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Hajj, Dhul Hijjah, Eid al Adha, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The time for Hajj is upon the Horizon, with that regard, Shaikh Rabee’ bin Hady حفظه الله was asked about performing Hajj on behalf of someone and so he replied [paraphrased]:

“There is some difference [on some issues related to this affair]; there is one aspect the scholars agree upon and another aspect they differ on. They agree regarding the performance of Hajj on behalf of a relative, and that is due to the questions in the ahaadith related to the issue all being related to family members, some of them stating “my father died and did not make Hajj…”, others, “my mother died and did not make Hajj…”, and “my father is required to make the obligatory Hajj however he is old and weak…”. Similarly the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas that the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم  heard a man say “Labbayk for Shubruma”, so he صلى الله عليه و سلم asked, “Who is Shubruna?”, the man said, “A brother or relative of mine”. The prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم then asked, “Have you performed Hajj for yourself [before]?”, he said, “No”, so the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said, “Perform Hajj for yourself first then on behalf of Shubruma”.

Therefore some scholars restrict the affair to relatives only, i.e. only allowing for people to perform Hajj on behalf of relatives and they do not allow for people to pay someone the fees to perform it on their behalf if he is not a relative, [perhaps a random individual not even known to the actual person himself].”

[The other opinion of many of the scholars is clearly that it is permissible whether it is on behalf of a relative or otherwise, and that appears to be the opinion followed by many of the scholars]

The Shaikh then went onto say, “Hiring people to perform Hajj on your behalf has become a business for some, certain individuals may take money from several different  individuals and then perform one Hajj on behalf of all their names in one go! And I don’t know if they even [bother] to do it for any of them!” [Scolars have mentioned the impermissibility of this, like Shaikh bin Baz]

The Shaikh also mentioned, “Shaikh ul-Islam has a good opinion on this, if the one who takes money to go and perform Hajj on behalf of someone else genuinely has a desire to be with the muslims engaging in the rites of Hajj and obedience then it is good, and he will benefit himself and the one he performs the Hajj on behalf of. However if the intent is purely for the money and he does not care about the opportunity to go to make Hajj, then this is eating people’s wealth unlawfully”

A Woman asks Shaikh al-Fawzan about an Angel coming to Wake her Daughter for Fajr Prayer

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Monotheism - Tawheed, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Allah سبحانه و تعالى has in His great wisdom created differing creations; from amongst them the Angels, the Jinn, and of course the Humans. Regarding these various creations, an interesting event was narrated to Shaikh al-Fawzaan, the question from the mother of this particular girl was as follows:

“I have an orphan daughter [i.e. her father has passed away, since it is not a condition for the mother to have passed away also for a child to be considered an orphan] and a man comes to her at night and wakes her up for the Fajr prayer and commands her to wake up her brothers and sisters for the prayer. The question therefore is; can we be certain that this individual who comes is an Angel? Do Angels descend to the Earth?”

The Shaikh replied, “Allahu ‘Alam [Allah knows best], or he could be from our brothers the Jinn, its doesn’t necessarily have to be an Angel, maybe from our brothers the Jinn”.
