Is This Disobedience to my husband?

Question:

My husband requests that I stay up late at night with him but I refuse because I want to pray the night prayer, so I sleep early. Is this (refusal of mine) disobedience to a husband?

Answer:

It is incumbent upon you to obey your husband in good. If he calls you to stay up late and you will definitely fail to perform the fajr salaah at its fixed time or (he calls you to stay up late) to watch what is evil, then you do not obey him. As for other than this then it is obligatory to obey him even if the night prayer is missed because it is an (optional) Sunnah and obedience to a husband is obligatory.

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.”

Abu Qataadah Is A Takfeeri and Not A Salafi

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

The enemies of the Salafis and Salafiyyah persist in their disgraceful lies and devil insinuations in the media. They seek to tarnish the true image of salafiyyah by attributing it to the methodologies of the khawaarij, such as Abu Qataadah and his ilk. Indeed, Salafiyyah is absolutely free from the methodology of the innovators. See the following link in order to find out Abu Qataadah’s evil and innovated methodology.

The Ruling on Wedding Rings – Sh.Al-Albany, Sh.bin Baz and Sh.ibn ul-Uthaymeen

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The origin of the wedding ring emanates from an old practice of the christians whereby the groom would place the ring on the left-hand thumb of the bride and say, “in the name of the father”, then he would move it across to the index finger and say, “in the name of the son”, then he woud move it across to the middle finger and say, “in the name of the holy ghost”, then finally the next movement would mean the ring then ended up upon the finger now known as the “ring finger” where the wedding ring would then remain and “amen” said upon it.

[Paraphrased Aadaab az-Zifaaf of Shaikh al-Albany p140 via Sahab, also mentioned by Sh ibn ul-Uhaymeen quoted from Sh al-Albany, (الضياء اللامع من الخطب الجوامع ج 2 / ص 446)

Shaikh bin Baz concerning wedding rings, “I do not know any basis for this act, this was not from the customs of the muslims…so I consider leaving it is better, it is safer and further from imitation of the disbelievers, it has not reached us that the Salaf as-Salih ever did anything of this nature”. [Paraphrased, http://www.binbaz.org.sa/mat/18573]

Shaikh Fawzan also stated, “It is not permissible to wear wedding rings at all due to:

1] Imitation of non-islamic customs

2] If the person thinks the ring aids in strengthening the love between the husband and wife then this is from Shirk”.

A man marries a paralyzed woman–Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadee

Question:
A man marries a paralyzed woman, does he have an increase in virtue–for example to take care of orphans?

Answer:
If he has an intention regarding this—desiring to guard her chastity, to protect her with this and spends on her, then Allaah does not withhold reward; rather actions are judged by intentions.

Question:

How can a person become strong in Eemaan–fulfilling the commandments of Allaah and fearful of His Punishment?

 

Answer:

This can be (attained) by way of recitation of Allaah’s Book–studying it, pondering upon its meanings and rulings.  And by studying the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) — having knowledge and awareness of the affairs of the Islamic legislation by way of it, acting upon what that necessitates and adhering to it in creed, actions and speech.  And to be extremely mindful of (Allaah’s absolute knowledge of whatever you do and wherever you may be), to (nurture) the heart upon awareness of His Greatness, remembrance of the hereafter and what is found in it of recompense, reward, punishment and the severity of its affairs.  And to keep the company of those whom (you) know amongst the righteous people and keep away from the people of evil and corruption.

[1] Fataawa Related to women

Question:

What are the obligations a woman is to fulfil in order to become a female Muslim who adheres to her Religion?

Answer:

It is obligatory upon a person– be it a man or woman– to enter into the fold of Islaam and testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah; (he/she should) establish the five daily prayers, pay the zakat, fast the month of Ramadaan and perform the hajj if the means to that is made possible.  And (he/she) should believe and adhere to the pillars of Eemaan and they are: Belief in Allaah, belief in His Angels, belief in His Books, belief in His Messengers, belief in the last day and belief in the pre-decree—its good and evil.  (And he/she) should fulfil all the remaining obligations and keep away from the forbidden things.  So by way of this (a person) becomes a true Muslim.

Can I search through My Children’s Phone and Computer? Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan

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

This article was forwarded to us by Ustaadh Abdul Waahid (Abu Khadeejah) via WhatsApp and the translator is Ustaadh Hassan Somali (may Allaah preserve them)


Noble Shaykh-may Allaah grant you success-the questioner asks: ”Is it permissible for me as a parent to search through the mobile and computer of my children, fearing that there may be something upon them?

 

The Shaykh responded:

”Yes, this is obligatory upon you.  It is [mandatory] that you inspect them and look through them.  How many times have I mentioned to you that you should not buy them mobile phones that have the capability to do more than [make a call] and speak on them…..”

 

The questioner said, may Allaah preserve you: ‘’some people say that this type of behaviour on behalf of the father is deemed spying, which has been prohibited.  Is there any truth to this statement?

 

The Shaykh responded: ‘’This speech is false and erroneous.  The parent is commanded to nurture and educate their children, supervise them and to monitor them.  It is compulsory for them to do this, and this is not considered to be spying.  This is fulfilling the mandatory duty that Allaah has placed upon him….’’
