Shaykh Muhammed ibn Haadi al Madkhali:

”Indeed our brother for the sake of Allah Bilal Abu Hakeem is from the brothers that I have known from Britain and I have likewise taught him in his third year of study in the Faculty of Hadeeth in the Islamic University.  He is a student of Knowledge who has good character and religion and he is from those who deserve to be aided.”

A specific question about women study circles–Al’Allaamah Ubaid Al-Jaabiri

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Announcements, Articles, Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge.

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

All praise is due to Allaah. We thank Him (The Most High) for protecting us from many of the trials—the trials of Shubuhaaat and Shahawaat. The Salafiyyoon of Al-Markaz As-Salafi in particular must thank Allaah (The Most High) for granting them the Tawfeeq to recognize the truth in many of the affairs of the Salafiyyah Dawah. Therefore, we should be mindful of self-amazement, boastfulness and stubbornness when truth reaches us, because our hearts are not in our control. Likewise, it is incumbent upon us to spread truth with wisdom, fine admonition and firmness after recognizing and acting upon it.  Neither should we fear the blame of the blamers nor should we give any attention to anyone who employ tricks and ambiguity in order to evade the clear verdicts of the scholars.  Al-Allaamah Ubaid Al-Jaabiri (may Allaah preserve him) was asked a specific question from Manchester via Ustaadh Uwais Taweel (may Allaah preserve him) about those who are worthy of teaching Salafiyyah….

Question

Is it better for us to attend the masjid and seek ilm and learn from the tullaab, or learn in our houses with sisters, even though they may not have a background in knowledge.

Answer

Shaykh said: the students of knowledge are known to be Students of knowledge and steadfast upon that (Salafi) then take knowledge from the students of knowledge. As for the sisters, then there is no harm in the sisters teaching as long as the sister has studied in Umm Al- Quraa or an establishment and studied with scholars, then it’s no harm in her teaching.

So Ustaadh Uwais (may Allaah preserve him) continued and asked “what happens if she hasn’t studied?”

So the Shaykh (may Allaah preserve him) said “La (no). Rather she should go to the tullaab the students of knowledge who are well known. But no harm if she has studied in Umm al Qura or with the people of knowledge.”  See link:  http://www.learnaboutislam.co.uk/audio/uways-at-taweel/uways-at-taweel-talk-2.mp3 [Question starts after 20 Mins—the question was asked specifically to remove all doubts people may seek to propagate in this affair through ambiguous and general statements.

Is it permissible or possible for her to teach? – Shaykh Ghudayyaan (rahimahullaah)

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

The ruling on studying in the mosques at the hands of one who took knowledge from the books and cassette tapes.

Question

May Allaah bestow good to you and bless you–The questioner of this question asks and she says:  A female Muslim seeks knowledge through translated books and cassette tapes and she has the opportunity to contact the scholars with regards what she finds difficult; is it permissible or possible for her to teach the female Muslims in the Masjid due to the absence of others who can teach the affairs of Manners, Aqeedah and Manhaj?

Answer

What is known is that a person is to take knowledge from the mouth of the scholars and every (type of) knowledge is taken from a person who is well established in that knowledge.  So when one wants to acquire the knowledge of the Tafseer of the Qur’aan, he takes it from a person who is well established in this knowledge, and this is how it is with all the other  sciences-this is the means.

The second means: Indeed a person reads the books; but he should not read the books and depend on them, except if he is qualified to understand them in a correct manner; because if he has deficiencies in his understanding, then indeed he will understand something in a manner other than what it is.  Thereafter, he speaks with what he understands and what he speaks with is a mistake, so people act upon what he explains to them in a wrong manner and he carries their sins.

And with regards to this woman, I advise her that she does not teach based on the fact that she read the books without anyone explaining these books to her. This is the answer to this question. [End]

Who do we take our Knowledge from? – Shaykh Fawzaan

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question

A man teaches the people the sciences of the Islamic legislation and the Aqeedah of the Salaf even though he did not acquire knowledge from the mashaayikh and the scholars; is knowledge taken from him?

Answer

As long as he does not have foundation from the scholars (i.e. did not acquire knowledge from them in person and has no recommendations for that), rather he sought (knowledge) from papers and books, then knowledge is not taken from him because he does not understand the Madhab of the salaf.  And it (i.e. Madhab of the Salaf) is not understood except by studying under the scholars.  (It) is acquired (from the scholars)–this knowledge is (acquired from the scholars) and not only through reading. It is acquired (through the scholars), but reading is only an aid and not depended on. The likes of this (person) is called a Muta-aalim* and knowledge is not taken from him.

– Shaykh Saleh al-Fawzaan

*Muta-aalim: [i.e. someone who feigns knowledge and understanding but does/did not seek knowledge directly from the people of knowledge.

Wife praying next to her husband – UPDATED

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Articles, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Salaah - Prayer, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Question:
What is the sunnah for a woman praying with her husband? Does she line up next to him or behind him?

Answer:
Its all the same; there is no prohibition if she lines up beside him and there is no prohibition if she lines up behind him.

http://alfawzan.af.org.sa/node/14854
———————————————
N.B With regards to the above fatwa then it should be noted some scholars do view the issue to be somewhat open however the overwhelming opinion based upon hadith of Anas* is that the woman stands behind, this is the opinion of many of the scholars past and present that the woman prays behind the man regardless of whether it is her husband or other than him, from these scholars are Shaykhul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah, Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadi al Waadi’ee, Shaykh bin Baz and Shaykh Ubayd Al Jaabi’ree

*Al-Bukhaari (380) and Muslim (658) narrated from Anas ibn Maalik that his grandmother Mulaykah invited the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) to come and eat some food that she had prepared for him. He ate some, then he said: “Get up and I will lead you in prayer.” Anas said: The Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) stood up, and the orphan and I stood in a row behind him, and the old woman stood behind us, and the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه و سلم) led us in praying two rak’ahs, then he left.
———————————————

Shaykh bin Baz was informed by a man that he used to pray next to his wife in and then being informed that it is impermissible for them to do so, he asked do we have to repeat our prayers?

The shaykh replied there is nothing upon you and do not repeat them, however do not do it again, and the shaykh continued to mention the above narration of Anas -radiallaahu anhu- and finished by saying the woman prays behind the men even if she was praying with her husband.

Can a menstuating woman wash a deceased person?

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Is it permissible for a woman to wash and shroud a deceased person whilst she is on her menses?

Answer:
It is permissible for a menstruating woman to wash deceased women and shroud them. And from the men she can only wash her (dead) husband. Menstruation is not considered a prohibition from washing a dead person for burial. And to Allaah belongs all (bestowal of guidance and ability to perform good deeds).

Seclusion with man who performs Ruqya

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Scholars of Islam.

Question:

What is the verdict–“Going to a man called shaykh who uses the Qu’aan to cure (people); but he recites over women whilst secluding himself with each one of (them). And if the woman’s condition requires (further attention), he makes her stay with him in his house for some days. Indeed, I was from those women, but I have realised with great regret (about such error) and I have sought Allaah’s forgiveness and repented to Him. Give us a verdict (regarding this) and may Allaah reward you and us with all good?

Answer:
The seclusion of a man with a strange woman—(i.e. a woman he is not allowed to free mix with)– is haraam even if that was for the purpose of performing ruqya with the Qur’aan, due to statement of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi- wasallam): “A man does not seclude himself with a (strange) woman except that shaytaan is the third of them”[1] And your seclusion with that man, spending time in the house of that man who is a stranger to you, staying with him in his house for a number of nights and days in seclusion with him–this is a greater danger and a greater crime, because it is from the means to evil and corruption. Therefore, any woman who did the likes of this (action), then it is incumbent upon her to sincerely repent from that and should never repeat the likes of this evil act. And to Allaah belongs all bestowal (of guidance and ability to perform good deeds)
