I am a woman with hair on hands…….

Question:

I am a woman with hair on my two hands and some on my face, and I am unable to remove all of it; so I colour it with a colour that is of the same colour of (my) skin; is this impermissible?

Answer:

There is no harm in this. It is neither impermissible nor something (one) is withheld from. The likes of these affairs do not cause (something blameworthy). It is permissible regardless whether you colour it with what matches the colour of skin.

Is It Permissible to shave the beard and the mouctache or shorten them?

The Muslim scholars hold a consensus that it is not permissible to shave (one’s) beard, and likewise it is (not permissible) to shorten it; except what has been narrated from Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) that when he used to perform hajj or umrah, he would take hold of his beard (i.e. a fist) and cut the excess. As for the moustache, it is obligatory to trim it. Indeed, the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wsallam) said:

”Trim the moustache and leave the beard, and be different from the fire worshippers.” [Reported by Bukhaari: No: 5892]

The Ruling on writing the salutation to the Prophet with a [ص ] or with [ص ل ع م ]

Question:

Many people write the salutation to the Prophet with (Saad) or with (Saad, Laam, Ain and Meem) as an abridgement. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:

Some of the scholars have cautioned against this. It is not befitting, and it is falling short in fulfilling the rights of the Prophet, as pointed out by a group of those amongst the scholars—those who author (books) on the subject matter of the science of hadeeth. It is not befitting to limit the (salutation to the Prophet in writing) with Saad, Laam, Aim or with Saad alone; rather it should be written completely [i.e. صلى الله عليه وسلم ]

Ibraaheem An-Nakha’ee [rahimahullaah] said:

”The people are destroyed by excess wealth and speech” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:144]

Muhammad Bin Ajlaan [rahimahullaah] said:

”Indeed, speech is four [types]: [a] you remember Allaah; [b]Recite the Qur’aan; [c] You are asked about an affair of knowledge, so you give information about it; [d] or you speak about an affair of the worldly life that concerns you.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:144]

 

Our Salaf: Advise about Food–Maalik Bin Deenaar And Sufyaan Ath-Thawree

Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah) said:

”It is not befitting the believer than his greatest concern is his stomach (i.e. filling his stomach with food) and that his desires should overcome him.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:443]

Uthmaan Bin Zaa-idah (rahimahullaah) said:

Sufyaan Ath-thawree wrote to me (saying): ”If you want your body to be healthy and your sleep to be less, then have little food.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: Page:444]
