[3] Using the office phone and taking a rest at work without permission

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

What is the ruling with regards to taking out time at work whether that is little or a lot, and also the ruling with regards to using the work telephone (for personal use)?

Answer:
You are entrusted with the work you do and Allaah (Glorified Be He and free is He from all imperfections) stated:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَخُونُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوا أَمَانَاتِكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

O you who believe! Betray not Allah and His Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amanat (things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allah has ordained for you). [8:27]

It is betrayal to take from that which you are entrusted (without permission), even if your boss excuses you. That is because maybe he is not the one in charge of this (i.e. he is not the one with the authority to excuse you). But if he is the one in charge and gives you permission (to take time out), there is no harm in taking it.

As for the work telephone or other things, it is better to refrain from using them out fear of falling into some unlawful. However, if (using the office phone for personal use) is something known amongst everyone in the office (i.e. known to both employer and employees) and no one says anything about it (i.e. objects), there is no harm using it InshaaAllaah.

[2] Working with a person whose wealth is Haraam and eating his food: Is this permissible?

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul.

Question:

What is the ruling on the following: Working with a person whose provision is Haraam and eating his food during occasions?

Answer:

If it is ascertained that all his wealth is haraam, it is not permissible to eat (his food). But if some haraam enters his wealth and there is also some halaal in it, there is no harm eating (his food) because you do not know whether the food is from the halaal or haraam aspect of his wealth. The basis of this affair is that it is allowed to eat InshaaAllaah because the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) ate from the food of the Yahood.

[1] Murad Al-Jazaa’iri and Abu Usaamah- [Two Obstinate Followers and Shelterers of Ahlul BIdah] – And the Verdict of Shaikh Rabee and Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi Against Them

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Ali Hassan Al Halabi, Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Fatawa-Rulings, Hadaadis, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations, Scholars of Islam, Tamyee'.

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

The Followers of a Mubtadi

Al-Allaamah Zayd Bin Haadi al-Madhali (rahimahullaah) said:

The people of desires and misguidance are (categorized into) those who are followed and those who follow. Indeed, those who are followed are the ones who set up the various principles of innovation and call to their innovation and misguidance, and they will carry their burden of sins and the burden of the sins of those whom they misguided without knowledge, as it is clearly stated in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah.  As for the followers of a leader from amongst the people of desires, then in most cases they are of two categories:

The First Category: Those who possess knowledge, but they harbour evil intentions. So they yield to Satan, desires and the urge of the evil soul. They follow the people of misguidance and oppose the callers to guidance (in that which) Allaah sent His Messenger Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) with.

The Second Category: Their share of knowledge is little, so the people of desires take advantage of them and they become (part) of their group. They convince them that what they call them to is the manifest truth and that what their opponents are upon is falsehood. And they convey to them a huge (number) of affairs that resemble the truth but are falsehood in reality, in order to deceive them and submerge them into misguidance.  [1] End of quote

So here we have both Murad and Goldie as staunch, persistent and vile shelterers of Ahlul Bidah. Murad utilizes every opportunity to defend Hajoori Al-haddaadi Al-Mubtadi and attacks those who unveil Al-Hajoori’s bidah and misguidance. On the other hand, Abu Usaamah is well known for his defense of Ali Al-Halabi Al-Murji al-Mubtadi and his attacks against Salafiyyoon.

And what is amazing is that even though Murad and Goldie are at loggerheads due to their divergent paths of misguidance, however the two innovators they shelter and defend (Al-Halabi and Al-hajoori) are united against the Mashaayikh, such as Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi, Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari and others. Rather Ali Al-Halabi al-Murji al-Mubtadi paid a visit to Yahya al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi al-Mubtadi. [2]

So these two innovators unite against the Mashaayikh of Ahlus Sunnah and their two followers (Goldie and Murad) are from the most zealous and obstinate in their defense of these two innovators. Murad and Goldie do the same dirty job, but they are at loggerheads. Murad hates Goldie because he believes that Goldie is a Hizbi and upon Tamyee, but on the other hand he is upon the path of Yahya Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi. Al-Halabi, Goldie, Al-Hajoori and Murad are all upon misguidance and that is why Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) and Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi 9rahimahullaah) have both issued their verdicts.

Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) said: Al-Hajoori is more evil than the Haddaadiyyah and the ideas of the Kharijites have penetrated him and his followers. [3]

The Shaikh said about Murad Al-Jazaa’iri: ‘’Warn against Mourad Jaza’iree from Manchester: That he speaks ill of Shaikh Ubaid & Shaikh Bukhaaree & defends Hajooree.’’ [4]

As for Ali Al-Halabi, his affair is well known, for he innovated before Al-Hajoori and was declared a Mubtadi by Shaikh Rabee and others.

As for Abu Usama is not only well known for defending Al-Halabi Al-Murji Al-Mubtadi, but he is also well known for defending Abul Hasan Al-Maribi Al-Ikhwaani al-Mubtadi. Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) was asked about Goldie:

Question: “O Shaykh Ahmad we have with us in America a man called Abu Usaamah who is considered to be from the Du’aat, he aids and supports Abul-Hasan and he calls some noble Salafi brothers ghulaat (extremists), muqallidah (blind followers), and muhqiboon (the people whose religion is the religion of the one they blindly follow), so what is the legislated position from this man and how should we deal with him?

Response:

موقفكم منه كموقفكم من أهل البدعة , أعرض عنه و اتركه

“Your position with him is the same as your position with the People of Innovation. Turn away from him and abandon him. [5]

And to this day the misguided and obstinate shelter of Al-Halabi (Goldie) and the misguided and obstinate shelterer of Al-Hajoor (Murad) have both continued upon their compound ignorance and blatant misguidance. So we leave them with the following statements of the Salaf as a reminder, so that the reader realizes the severity of what Murad and Goldie are upon. Murad supports and elevates Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi al-Mubtadi and Goldie supports and elevates al-Halabi Al-Murji Al-Mubtadi, but Imaam Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said:

”Every person of bidah is debased.” And he stated (concerning the statement of Allaah): [وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجۡزِى ٱلۡمُفۡتَرِينَ- Thus do We recompense those who invent lies] that it (applies) to every inventor of lies and innovator (in the religion) until the day of judgement.” [Hilyatul Awliyaa 7/28]

Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said: Had the innovator humbled himself to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Prophet, he would not have followed his innovation; but he is amazed with his views, so he follows what he invented. [AdhTadzkirah Fil Wadh: page:97]

It is well known that both Al-Halabi and Al-Hahjoori are afflicted with self-amazement because they enter into issues above their level and end up innovating and they wage war against the Kibaarul Ulama who unveil their wicked innovations. However Murad and Goldie prefer to aid innovators, who are well known for their wicked innovations and slanders against the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah. We ask Allaah to guide them and their followers or protect us from their misguidance. Aameen.

People who harbour severe envy against those who are good to them

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam.

Ibn Hazm (rahimahullaah) sated:

Indeed those with a wicked disposition become angry due to severe envy when they see that those who are good to them are in a higher position than them.

What is better, Shukran or Jazaakallaahu Khayran?

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question to Al-Allaamah Ahmad An-Naajmi (rahimahullaah)

What is the ruling on the saying [Shukran (i.e. thank you)] to the one who did good to a person?

Answer:

Whoever does so [i.e. says Shukran ] has indeed abandoned what is better and that is the statement [جزاك الله خير – May Allaah reward you with good]

Allaah (The Most High) said:

تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوّاً فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلا فَسَاداً وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

That home of the Hereafter (i.e. Paradise), We shall assign to those who rebel not against the truth with pride and oppression in the land nor do mischief by committing crimes. And the good end is for the Muttaqun (pious) [Surah Al-Qasas Ayah 83]

 Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَلا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحاً إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرِقَ الْأَرْضَ وَلَنْ تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُولاً

And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance. Verily, you can neither rend nor penetrate the earth, nor can you attain a stature like the mountains in height.’’ [Surah Al-Israa Ayah 37]

Allaah (The Most High) said:

 وَلا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحاً إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ

And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah likes not each arrogant boaster. [Surah Luqman Ayah 18]
