Kitaab An-Nikaah, Saheeh Bukhaari Vol: 7; Hadith Number:5065

 Chapter: The Statement of the Prophet (sallal’laahu’alayhi’wasallam)

‘Whoever is able to marry, should marry, for that will help him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.).’  And should a person marry (even if) he has no desire for marriage?

Narrated ‘Alqamah: while I was with Abdullaah, uthman met him at Mina and said, ‘O Abu Abdur-Rahmaan! I have something to say to you.’ So both of them went aside and uthmaan said, ‘O Abu Abdur-Rahmaan!  Shall we marry you to a virgin who will make you remember your past days?  When Abdullaah felt that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying, ‘O Alqamah’  Then I heard him saying (in reply to uthmaan), ‘As you have said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) once said to us, ‘O young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to observe fast as fasting will diminish his sexual power’.

Shaikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) stated:

Therefore, to get marriage is the correct (thing to do) as a complete obligation upon the one who has shahwa (sexual desires) even if he is not in fear of falling to Zinaa.  This is with regards to the one whose situation allows him to get married.  And in this is a (manifestation) of Uthman’s righteous moral conduct.  It (shows) that the elderly person can get married as long as he has the strength for sexual relations. And the main address (in this hadith) is directed at the young people because in most cases they possess stronger desires and are more in need of that (i.e. fulfilment of such desires).

[1] Husbands & Wives: Is It Permissible for Them to Look at One Another’s Private Parts?

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge.

Narrated Aa’isha (radiyallaahu-anhaa): The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and I used to take a bath from a single pot of water and our hands used to go in the pot after each other in turn. [Bukhari Number 261]

Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr (rahimahullaah) said:

Ad-daawoodiy (used this) as evidence regarding the permissibility for a man to look at the private parts of his wife and vice versa. This is supported by what Ibn Hibbaan narrated from Sulaymaan Ibn Moosaa that indeed he was asked regarding a man who looks at the private parts of his wife, so he (Sulaymaan) said: I asked Ataa, who said: ‘’I asked Aa’isha, so he mentioned this hadeeth and it is a determined text in this subject matter”. [Fat-hul Baari 1/364]

[5] The Blessing of Security’ By Shaikh Muhammad Baazmool

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

Those Evil Affairs That Befalls both Individuals and Society When Security Is Loss

Firstly: The disappearance of the Jamaa’ah leads to disappearance of (the sound) religion; then the evil people will overpower the good people. The people of corruption and falsehood become stronger than the people of uprightness and truth. The corrupters hasten to spread corruption in the earth – spreading terror and fear- and fear is instilled in the hearts of the people…

Secondly: People are hindered from the affairs of their (daily) lives -businesses close and the schools that were opened to teach the young and old are deserted; (people are) hindered from work and trade becomes stagnant.

Thirdly: It may lead to deterioration in some people’s (mental wellbeing) and thus may either lead to insanity or suicide etc This is the hardship a person exposes himself to due to abandoning Allaah’s Sharee’ah.  [Allaah said]:

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ

But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur’an nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection. [20:124]

Fourthly: It leads a person to fall into trial. Allaah (The Most High) said:

فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ أَن تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

And let those who oppose the Messenger’s (Muhammad) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements, etc.) (among the sects) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant, etc.) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them. [End of Ayah (24:63)] and that is the Fitna of lowly desires and the fitna of doubts in one’s religious affairs.

Fiftly: Fear replaces security in different ways; so political security, economic security, social security and physical well-being are loss, and (likewise) protection against (corrupt ideas and thoughts).

Sixthly: Human life will be given no value, so a person is killed but will not know why he was killed and the one who killed him will not know why he really killed.

Narrated ‘Abdullãh and Abu Moosaa: ‘’The Prophet said, “Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which general ignorance will spread, (religious) knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and there will be much Al-Harj, and Al-Harj means killing.’’ [Bukhaari Number 7065]

Abu Huraira reported Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: The world would not come to an end until a day would come to the people on which the murderer would not know as to why he has killed and the slain would not know as to why he has been murdered. It would be said: Why would it happen? To which he replied: It would be because of general massacre and bloodshed. And the slaughterers and the slain would be in Fire. [Sahih Muslim Number 2908]

Seventhly: Oppression will be widespread in the earth and the oppressor will not be stopped. The best of us will supplicate to Allaah but it will not be answered due to (the presence of) too much wickedness.

A Short Notification to The Who Says, ‘’Why can’t we consider people in other countries to be scholars when it is the case that….

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

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

Some people – (especially some of those who think that a person they consider to be knowledgeable is not being given his right status) – argue that why can’t we consider people in some other countries to be scholars when it is the case that they graduated and have been teaching for over twenty years just like their classmates who are now considered to be scholars?! We say to them, ‘’The scholars are declared to be scholars by those who are qualified to give them such a title. It is not left to me (a commoner) or yourself [a commoner; (unless am unaware that you have reached the level of those who are qualified to decide who is worthy of being called a scholar or not)]; rather there are those qualified to give this verdict based on what they know about the one they regard to be from the scholars. See what Shaikh Fawzaan says about Shaikh Rabee;

http://www.salaficentre.com/2012/03/shaikh-saalih-al-fawzaans-recommendation-for-shaikh-rabee-al-madkhalee-2/

After listening to the above, you (the one who utters this argument) should also know that it not enough to be declared a scholar, rather a person has to be upon a sound methodology because one is judged by the people of knowledge based on what he is upon. See what Shaikh Rabee says here

A Great Number of Women Would Have Been Deprived of Marriage In Some Regions of the Earth if Polygyny Did Not Exist

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Imaam Ash-Shaqeeti (rahimahullaah) said:

Allaah made it a common phenomenon that men are fewer in number than women in the various regions of the world and are more often exposed to the causes of death in all walks of life.  If a man was restricted to one wife, there would remain a great number of women deprived of marriage, so they (both men and women) will be strongly urged towards illegal sexual intercourse. [See Adwaa al-Bayaan’ Surah Al-Israa Ayah 9]

Some of the evils that results from abandoning polygamy- By Imaam ash-Shanqeeti

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Imaam Ash Shaqeeti (rahimahullaah) said:

Turning away from the guidance of the Qur’aan regarding polygyny (i.e. turning away from it based on other the Sharee’ah Reasons that allows a person to refrain from polygamy) is among the greatest causes of moral deprivation. It is (from the greatest causes) of being lowered to the level of animals due to an absence of safeguarding chastity, preserving nobility, good moral conduct and manners. [See Adwaa Al-Bayaan Surah Israa Ayah 9]

Saudi King Abdul Azeez Affirms That True Islaam Is Based On The Book, The Sunnah and The Manhaj of The Salaf

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Brotherhood, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

King Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah) said:

The reality of (true) adherence to the religion is to follow that which has been brought forth in the Book of Allaah (i.e. the Qur’aan), the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and that which the Salafus Saaleh (i.e. pious predecessors) were upon. This is what I call to and what is in opposition to this statement (i.e. what others attribute to us) is lies and fabrication against us.
