Question 3500: Many Pakistani muslims seem to believe in something called tawiz which is supposed to provide some sort of blessing. I would like to know if there is any hadith about tawiz or any mention of it in the Quraan. If there isn't, then isn't it haraam?
Answer: Dear Br. A. As-salaamu alaykum. Muslims protect themselves from the Jinns and from other people's spells (envy, eye-casts, etc) by reciting verses from the Qur'an like surah Al-Fatiha, Ayat Al-Kursi in Surah al-Baqarah (2) verse 255, and Surah al-Falaq (113) and an-Naas (114). Also, saying 'Ma sha'a Allah wa la Kuwata illa Billah' (Whatever Allah wishes and There is no Power except with Allah) protects a person from other people's envy. Please note that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said 'if anything was to precede destiny, it would have been the eye' (in this context, it is the evil eye). This Hadith has to be understood in the context that everything that happens in the universe is related to God's will only, and not to people's evil eye and their envy. So, if anyone was to cast a spell or an 'eye' and the act was within God's will, then it will take place, otherwise, it will never occur. But people should not be superstitious. The use of Jewelry, precious stones, sculpted hands, etc. are all un-Islamic if they are acquired for the purpose of being protected from a spell or an evil eye. Such methods were used by idol worshippers and are still used by people nowadays who have a lack of understanding about the religion. Thank you for asking and God knows best. (Source: IslamiCity)

Ta�??weel of Allah�??s Attributes and Istiwaa�??
Question 101114: Did anyone from the Salaf did tafweed/taweel of Allaah�s hands, legs, face, etc? And what about Istiwaa; did anyone from the Salaf did tafweed/taweel of that too?
Question 101114: Did anyone from the Salaf did tafweed/taweel of Allaah�s hands, legs, face, etc? And what about Istiwaa; did anyone from the Salaf did tafweed/taweel of that too?
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. A great number of scholars have quoted the consensus of the righteous predecessors on affirming the Attributes of Allah, Glory be to Him, which are mentioned in the Book of Allah and in the authentic Sunnah in a manner befitting to Allah�s Perfection and Majesty, without distorting their wordings or meanings, nor denying, asking how, or drawing resemblance between Allah and any of His Creation. Abu Ya�la al-Faraa� said in Ibtaal at-Ta�weelaat:"Another evidence for invalidating the interpretation [of Allah�s Attributes] is that the Companions and those who came after them from among the Taabi�is understood it according to its apparent (literal) meaning and did not engage in interpreting it [i.e. distorting their wordings or meanings, or denying, or asking how, or drawing resemblance] or give it a meaning other than its apparent and literal meaning." [End of quote]Ibn al-Qayyim said in as-Sawaa�iq al-Mursala 'ala al-Jahmiyyah wal-Mu�atila: "They � meaning the Companions � did not dispute regarding the interpretation of the verses of the Attributes of Allah and its information even in one place. Rather, they agreed as well as the Taabi�is after them in confirming it and understanding its meanings and proving its facts." [End of quote]For more benefit on the pious predecessors� belief concerning Istiwaa� and other Attributes of Allah, please refer to Fatawa 7256, 4805, 19144, 90390, 275167, 277453, 330607 and 384256.Allah Knows best.

Ta�??zeer (discretionary punishment) in Islam

Question 123665: Assalamu alikum i have read that Umar ra used to carry a durrah from which he used to hit people. A narration states that "Umar took his stick and started hitting the wife of Abu Salmah just because she said her husband is not good but reality was that he was impotent as mentioned the narration itsef. Umar ra said after hitting her saying, "O Enemy of yourself, you have taken his youth and consumed his wealth, and now you are saying things that are not right about him." She said, "O Ameer al-Mumineen, let me off this time, and by Allah you will not see me doing this again." He said to her, "Fear Allah and be good companion to this old man." Then he turned to him and said, "Do not let what you have seen me to do to her prevent you from being a good companion to her." He said, "I will do that, O Ameer al-Mumineen."[Musnad Abu Dawood Tiyaalisi] Does that mean a qadhi and caliph can hit even Na Mahrum on minor issues?
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.The punishment in Islam is of two kinds: A) Hudood (plural of Hadd, which is the corporal punishment determined by the Islamic Law), and B) Ta�zeer (discretionary punishment). So, the Hudood are crimes on which the Sharee�ah determined a punishment for its doer, like Qisaas (equitable retribution), lashing the fornicator and the one who falsely accuses a chaste man or woman of Zina (fornication or adultery) and the alcohol drinker, and cutting off the hand of a thief. As regards Ta�zeer, which is a discretionary punishment (whose measure is not fixed by the Sharee�ah) that the Muslim ruler imposes � then this is done according to the Ijtihaad (i.e. the effort a jurist makes in order to deduce the verdict) of the Muslim ruler or judge according to what he sees suitable. These include transgressing the religious prohibitions on which there is no Hadd or expiation. This can even be in matters which are not forbidden, like disliked matters, as stated by Ibn Farhoon in "Tabsirat-ul-Hukkaam". However, what was done by this woman was a forbidden matter as she lied against her husband and attributed to him what he had not done, and this is a slander. It is for this reason that 'Umar said to her: "�And then you come to inform about him something of which he is innocent." In addition to this, she denied the good that her husband had done to her. The story of 'Umar which you mentioned in the question, was also reported by Ibn Hajar in his book entitled "Al-Mataalib Al-'Aaliyah", through the route of Abu Daawood At-Tayaalisi and he said that its chain of narrators is strong. Allaah Knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Ta�??zeer punishment for dislikable matters

Question 123539: Assalamu alaikum, can a tazeer punishment be given to somebody who does makrooh actions? For example if one frowns at the religious police can he imprison him? And if a person sees a woman unintentionally who doesnt wear hijab and then says to other she is beautiful without lusting on her? What if it is a woman who wears niqab and one sees her face etc.accidently and he tells othets abt her beauty without lusting on her And she feels offended and can she demand a punishment? If so please explain why. Or the religious police can punish him as it may stir temptation among people etc. To put a stop to this evil.May Allah reward you with good
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger.The jurists defined Ta�zeer to be a punishment for a sin for which there is no Hadd (penal punishments fixed by the Sharee�ah) or expiation in the Sharee�ah; so Ta�zeer, in principle, is not related to sins. In spite of this, the jurists broadened its boundaries.Applying Ta�zeer when a dislikeable action is committed is something that some scholars consider to be permissible.The Fiqh Encyclopedia reads:"There is a difference of opinion about the person who abandons a desirable action, and the person who does a dislikeable action. A group of scholars ruled that Ta�zeer is impermissible in this case, as the people are not held accountable for this, and there should be no Ta�zeer without being Islamcically held accountable for the action. Another group of scholars permitted it based on what 'Umar did. He applied Ta�zeer on a man who put down a sheep to slaughter it, and then started sharpening his knife while the sheep was in that condition (laying on seeing him sharpen). This act is only disliked. This ruling also applies to someone who abandons a desirable act." [End of quote]Besides, the commentary of Qaloobi (a Shaafi�i scholar) reads:"Ta�zeer may be applied for something that is not a sin, such as disciplining a boy or a non-Muslim, and to one who gets an income by selling an entertainment instrument which is permissible." [End of quote]Merely describing a woman to be beautiful or frowning at the police is not a sin, but one should not do that. Describing a woman to be beautiful may lead to being tempted by her, and frowning at the police is contrary to what is enjoined in the Sharee�ah that we should smile at people. So, if the person in authority �such as the ruler or his representative � considers to apply Ta�zeer for this, then he may do so, because it is not a condition that the Ta�zeer be applied only when there is a sin, as we have already mentioned.The woman may take the matter to the ruler to study the case; this is a claim that needs evidence and it is more appropriate for the ruler [or the judge] to investigate this matter.For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 184083.Allah knows best.

Taaloot (Saul) was a good man whom Allaah praised in the Quran

Question 99400: Dawood�s (peace be upon him) relation with Taloot: As per his promise, Taloot married his daughter to Dawood and appointed him the commander of his army. Gradually, the discussion of Dawood�s greatness and excellence increased among the people. With these discussions, love and affection for him increased manifold in the hearts of the people. Meanwhile the friendship of Dawood with Yunasan (son of Taloot) grew stronger. This widespread fame and acceptance of Dawood among the people became a cause of jealousy and envy for Taloot. This fire of jealousy against Dawood began raging fiercely, until one day Taloot made a plan to kill him. Yunasan tried unsuccessfully to stop his father from this disgraceful act. Taloot sent Dawood to many dangerous wars so that he would be killed by the enemy. However, Dawood always emerged victorious. Talut devised another scheme to kill Dawood, but the latter got news of it. He left the place that same night along with his relatives and took shelter in a cave. Gradually, Dawood�s other relatives and the poor, weak and needy also took shelter along with him. Dawood along with the entire group sought refuge in the neighbouring kingdom of Palestine. When Talut learnt of this, he attacked the kingdom of Palestine but was defeated and the battle ended with his death. His soldiers fled the battlefield. The kingdom fell in the hands of the Dawood. During the same period, Shamueel (Samuel) (peace be upon him) passed away, and the prophethood transferred to Dawood. He fought several wars, and Allaah gave Him victory. Hence, he was successful in bringing many kingdoms within the realm of Bani Israel. How much of this narrative is correct? Was Taloot a good man?
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. Taaloot (Saul) was a righteous man whom Allaah, The Exalted, praised and chose, as highlighted in the verse that reads (what means): {...He said: Indeed, Allaah has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature...} [Quran 2:247] It is unbecoming of such a righteous king whom Allaah praised to do what this narrative suggests as reported in the Israa'eeliyyaat (the body of narratives originating from Jewish and Christian traditions, rather than from other well-accepted sources that quote the Prophet (saw) ). Al-Haafith Ibn Katheer cited a narrative similar to the one you referred to in the question and then commented, "This narrative was cited by Ibn Jareer in his history book on the authority of As-Suddi with its chain of narration. Some parts of the story may be inaccurate, and their authenticity is questionable." [Al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah] Allaah knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Question 104183: We heard some Saudi scholars speaking bitterly of Shaykh Taariq As-Suwaydaan due to his belittling of some of the companions and because he quotes fabricated narrations�etc. Please advise.
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger. Dr. Taariq As-Suwaydaan is academically specialized in some academic studies in the field of business and administration in one of the American educational institutions; thus, one may benefit from him in this field. Allaah Willing, Dr. Taariq will be rewarded for his Da'wah activities. Nevertheless, it is incorrect to judge all his tapes as beneficial, since they can be dangerous for common people who cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Allaah Knows best.

Taaweez
Question 2543: What is the Islamic view about TAWEEZ?
Question 2543: What is the Islamic view about TAWEEZ?
Answer: Dear Y. As-salaamu alaykum. Taweez is allowed in Islam because it is an order from God Almighty Himself. This is stated in several parts in the Qur'an such as the two last Surahs, i.e., Surah al-Falaq (113) and Surah an-Nas (114). There are other verses in the Qur'an that also deal with this issue such as Surah al-A'raf (7) verse 200 and Surah al-Imran (3) verse 36. However, please note that Taweez, or to seek refuge from the devil through God, is permissible through the word of God and it is well known that, as reported by Aisha, Prophet Muhammad used to himself perform Taweez to some of his family members. Thank you for asking and God knows best. (Source: IslamiCity)

Question 118337: The question is , if someone lives in a non muslim country where there are two types of divorces can be pronounced. Divorce and bed and board divorce. After divorce , u can legally get married again, but after bed and separation should not get married legally again. In the law , table and bed separation means that people no longer live together , share together nothing , so do not eat together, not sleeping together no financial responsibility for each other. These two types of divorces are pronounced by the judge.and after bed and table divorce u boht have a boy friend or girl friend is no problem and in both of divoce the judge use the word divorce. These are both pronounced separation by the court , just with another name , divorce and bed and board divorce. If a muslim woman in Holland divorce from bed and board, is that in Islam as Talaq or she must still apply for divorce ? The answer I get this, it is from the Quran and Suna ? If I trade from your answer is that enough for me? Have I done my duty I hope to hear from u soon. If u have any question About this please contact on my mobile or my email. This is very important to me. With kindly regards,
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.A divorce issued by civil courts which judge according to man-made laws has no legal effect in Islam even if the judge pronounced the divorce. The Fatwa of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America (AMJA) reads, "If a husband divorces his wife according to the Sharee'ah (Islamic religious law), it is permissible to document it before courts run by man-made laws, but having recourse to non-Islamic courts in order to terminate the marriage according to the man-made laws does not result by itself in the end of the marriage according to the Islamic religious law."Therefore, the marriage bond is still intact and the divorce does not take effect according to the Sharee'ah even if a full divorce has been issued by that non-Islamic court. The spouses are still married in Islam and each is entitled to his or her due rights prescribed by Sharee'ah. It is impermissible for Muslims to refer their cases and disputes to non-Islamic courts that are run by man-made laws except for a necessity.If Muslims were in real need for referring their disputes to an entity, they should refer them to those concerned with handling Muslims� affairs such as Islamic Centers.The husband has the right to issue divorce. If he divorces his wife, divorce takes effect and the legal consequences entailed by divorce become effective depending on the type of divorce issued by the husband. We have explained the different types of divorce in Fatwa 82541.As for the "table and bed separation" alone, it is not considered a valid divorce in Sharee'ah, no matter how long it lasts as highlighted in Fatwa 89825. It is impermissible for a Muslim woman to have a boyfriend; this is strictly prohibited under any circumstances. The sin is even graver if she does so while still married. Please refer to Fatwa 81356 about the prohibition of relationships outside marriage.What we mentioned above is the conclusion that Muslim scholars have reached after careful study of the Islamic prescriptions and the objectives of the Islamic religion derived from the Quran and Sunnah. Allaah, The Exalted, has enjoined lay Muslims to follow the legal opinions of competent scholars; Allaah, The Exalted, says (what means): {So, ask the people of the message if you do not know.} [Quran 16:43]Hence, when the Muslim consults a scholar whom he trusts and follows his scholarly opinion, he has done what is required of him and has cleared himself of liability.Allaah Knows best.

Tableegh al-Jamaah
Question 104334: I have read in www.islamworl.com that this Jamaah is spreading Shirk and Bid'ah is it true? If it yes then explain to me.
Question 104334: I have read in www.islamworl.com that this Jamaah is spreading Shirk and Bid'ah is it true? If it yes then explain to me.
Answer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.According to our knowledge Jamat-e-Tableegh does not call towards Shirk (setting partners with Allah). This is a Muslim Jamaah known for its large and vital activities in the field of Da'wah. The Muslim scholars and callers to Islam have various opinions concerning this Jamaah; some of them support it, while others criticize it. The moderate opinion is of those who neither condemn it totally nor approve of it totally, but admire its good activities, which agree with Sunnah, while not agreeing with those activities not from Sunnah. This is the moderate stand and should be adopted by Muslims when evaluating any Muslim group whether it is Jamat-e-Tableegh or another group.However, to discuss thoroughly the merits of any Muslim Jamaah working in Islam needs extensive knowledge about its curriculum and its method of working. Most probably, first hand observation of its activities is required in order to reach a final conclusion. In fact, we are not in the position to do that.Finally, we insist on that every individual's and group's activities should be weighed by the Qur'an, Sunnah and the practice of good predecessors; what is in accordance with that should be accepted and what is not should be rejected, and advise them about what is correct.Allah knows best.

Tableegh Jama'ah
Question 104296: Is it true that some Islamic scholars including Bin Baaz gave a fatwa saying that it is haram to follow jamaah tabligh?
Question 104296: Is it true that some Islamic scholars including Bin Baaz gave a fatwa saying that it is haram to follow jamaah tabligh?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. We do not know of a Fatwa by Ibn Baz (Rahimahu Allah) in which he forbids going out with the Tablighi Jamah. On the contrary, we notice in his Fatawa that he incites to cooperate with them and to advise them.In his response to Iwad Bin Iwad al-Kahtani, when the latter inquired about this group, he stated that it was confirmed from trustworthy people who kept company with them that they did not notice anything contradictory to the Shariah, or anything that would prohibit going out with them. He mentioned some of their positive effects on whomever accompanied them, and he does not see any harm in going out with them. The people of knowledge should cooperate with them and make up for any shortcomings that may result from them. Speech No. 1155 dated 05/09/1399 A.H.In his response to Abdel-Selam Al-Sulaimani he stated that he learnt from trustworthy people who are impossible to lie, like the lecturers of Tawheed in the Islamic University (Al-Jami�a Al-Islamiya) and others, that the Tablighi group are patient in calling to Islam, being affectionate and steadfast. Allah guided, thanks to them, many people who are astray. Ibn Baz was advising the people of knowledge to participate with them in calling to Allah so that they would help each other. It is not appropriate to judge the Jama by the shortcoming of some individuals amongst them. It is incumbent upon a Muslim to advise his Muslim brothers with soft words, and not run away from them or make other people dislike them. Speech No. 325 dated 20/03/1406 A.H.In his response to Ibrahim Abdurrahman al-Hussein Ibn Baz stated that he is still holding to his opinion in what he wrote about them previously, because, thanks to them, Allah benefited enormously other people, and guided many people. Therefore, we must thank them for their efforts and encourage them and draw their attention to things that they might not be aware of, because Muslims must advise each other. He urged people to go out with them and gather with them. He stated to those who contradict them the following:"You have to stop criticizing them, or do what they have done."Speech dated 27/01/1407 A.H.Ibn Baz responded also to Saad Bin Abderrahman Alhussayn to doctor Taki al-Dinn al-Hillali and criticized them about discrediting this group. He also responded to Fahih Bin Nafi�i when he criticized them, and praised them and confirmed his view by standing by their side but advising them with regard to the shortfall that could result from some of them, as everybody is subjected to imperfection, this is the human nature.He stated that running away from them and warning people not to mix with them is a serious mistake as these causes more harm than benefit.Speech No. 889, dated 12/08/1406 A.H.Apart from Sheikh Ibn Baz, there are those who praised this group and those who criticized it.A Muslim has to ask Allah often for guidance about things on which there is a difference of opinion, and to seek the truth without fanaticism, and to cooperate with those who work for Islam on whatever truth they are upon and not to imitate them if they deviate from the truth, nobody is infallible after the Prophets. The words and actions of every person could be accepted or rejected. However, we have to advise with wisdom whomever deviates from the truth, and explain to him the truth with the best manners. We have to supplicate a lot with the supplication that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) used to make at the beginning of the night prayer which is: "O, Allah! Lord of Jibreel, Mikaael, and Israafeel, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Knower of the Seen and the Unseen, You are the Arbitrator between Your Servants in that which they have disputed. Guide me to the truth by Your leave, in that which they have differed, for verify You guide whom You will to the straight path."In addition to this, we draw your attention to the fact that a person should be keen in educating himself, by learning what is required of Tawheed and Islamic rulings. To know that Allah has a right upon him, his body (soul) has a right upon him, and his wife (and family) has a right upon him, so he has to give the right of everybody. He has to benefit from the point of view of others on himself, and not to be content with oneself, and not to call to Allah except with something he is sure about, that it is from Allah and His Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam). Allah knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Tableeghi Jamaa�??ah Da�??wah efforts vs. the companions' efforts

Question 104180: What is your point of view on Tableeghi Jamaa'ah? Is it the only group upon the truth, as its members claim? Does the companions' leaving of their homes for Jihaad and conquests constitute evidence for making the going out of Tableeghi Jamaa'ah for Da'wah a part of our religion? If yes, why didn't scholars follow it?
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger. Although what the Tableeghi Jamaa'ah is doing in terms of Da'wah activities and efforts is a good thing, it is by no means similar to the efforts of the companions . That is because the companions set out to call people to Allaah and disseminated and conveyed Islam to the people. Those disbelievers who rejected Islam were left unharmed in return for paying Jizyah (protection taxes) and living under the dominion of Islam. However, those who refused either choice were fought against. Tableeghi Jamaa'ah, however, has its merits and demerits, and a fair person is he who agrees with them when they coincide with the truth and offers them advice to them when he sees their mistakes. Allaah Knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Question 2972: asalamalaikum! i am very happy to find this web site. my question is. do men and women have to go for tabligh/jammaat? i have heard some days a year are obligatory.
Answer:
Dear Sr. F. As-salaamu alaykum.
We don't recommend that you join them officially, since they lack proper knowledge with regards to the correct way of spreading Islam. Note: joinging them is in no way obligatory. Yet at the same time, you may extend help to them and to other such groups that you know don't have hidden agendas whenever they come to your local Islamic center. Instead, learn about Islam with your local mosque and do dawah in your local community/family and friends.

Tablighi Jamaat
Question 2325: is gam'a tablieeg and dau'a making all the sunna
Question 2325: is gam'a tablieeg and dau'a making all the sunna
Answer: Dear Br. W. As-salaamu alaykum. The Tablighi Jama�s origin is in India and its main objective is to advocate the Muslims to love their religion, and abide the basic Islamic rules. It basis its teaching on the clarity in thinking and its biggest concern is to spread Islam in all over the world as did prophet Mohammad (pbuh) earlier, as well as to induce the kindness, discipline and love among Muslims. In addition, this group is in general far away from any political or economic affiliation pertaining to Islam. If such a group visits you at your local mosque, there is no harm or embarrassment to help them. Thank you for asking and God knows best. (Source: IslamiCity)

Question 2181: There are certain muslims who claim they do da' wah work in the Sunna manner and are called as Tablighis. What do you think I should do? Shall I go with them or not. Please reply to me with proofs from Quran, hadith etc
Answer: 2181 Dear Br. S. As-salaamu alaykum. The Tablighi Jama' is a group of
people who started in India with the sole purpose of reminding people
to love their religion and abide by it. Their usual approach is
simplicity, and they emphasize going out of their homes and countries to
invite people to the religion like prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did, and to
teach care and morals. Generally speaking, they don't get involved in
any political or economic activities related to Islam. Our advice is to
help them when they come to your local mosque because they mean well. As
to going out with them, it is better not to do so and instead, learn
about Islam with your local mosque where you usually get to learn more
information in the same amount of time you would put with them. Thank
you for asking and God knows best.

Answer: Dear Br. K. As-salaamu alaykum. The Tablighi Jamaat is a group whose followers are good willed with a good heart. They don?t have affiliation to a political entity or a certain person. However, they lack Islamic knowledge in the proper way of doing spreading Islam. We don?t recommend that you join them officially, yet at the same time, you may extend help to them and to other such groups that you know don?t have hidden agendas whenever they come to your local Islamic center.

Question 1413: Is the tabligh jamaat movement based on bid'ah (innovations)? Is it all right to join them?
I understand that this question may lead to a controversial answer and may conflict with opinions. I would thankfully accept a personal reply.
Answer:
Dear Br. S. As-salaamu alaykum.
The Tabligh started in India with the sole purpose of reminding people to love their religion and abide by it. Their usual approach is simplicity, and they emphasize going out of their homes and countries to invite people to the religion like prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did, and to teach care and morals. Generally speaking, they don't get involved in any political or economic activities related to Islam.
The propagation of Islam is the duty of all Muslims. Hence, the idea of this organization is sound. To go from one place to another in order to explain Islam to people and to call on Muslims to be more conscious in the fulfillment of their Islamic duties is commendable. However, they lack Islamic knowledge in the proper way of spreading Islam. We don't recommend that you join them officially, yet at the same time, you may extend help to them and to other such groups that you know don?t have hidden agendas whenever they come to your local Islamic center. Instead, learn about Islam with your local mosque and do dawah in your local community/family and friends.
Thank you for asking and Allah knows best.

Question 1615: is the Tablighi movement a bi'da or is there any hadith to support there actions???? my second question is: does a true islamic state have to exist in order for jihad to be called? if not what are the conditions for such actions.
Answer: 1615 Dear Br. R. As-salaamu alaykum. The Tablighi Jama', is a group of
people who started in India with the sole purpose of reminding people
to love their religion and abide by it. Their approach is simplicity,
and they emphasize going out of their homes and countries to invite
people to the religion like prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did, and to teach
care and morals. Generally speaking, they don't get involved in any
political or economic activities related to Islam. The general position
is to let them inside your mosque if they come because they are harmless
and peaceful, but you don't have to follow them. Thank you for asking
and God knows best.

MYA QUESTION IS:
1. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT JAMAAT TABLIGH ?
2. CAN YOU DISCRIBE ABOUT IMAM AL-MAHDI ?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER
WASSALAMUALAIKUM.
7 RAMADHAN 1418
Answer: Dear Br. K. As-salaamu alaykum. 1-The Tablighi Jama' is a group of people who started in India with the sole purpose of reminding people to love their religion and abide by it. Their usual approach is simplicity, and they emphasize going out of their homes and countries to invite people to the religion like prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did, and to teach care and morals. Generally speaking, they don't get involved in any political or economic activities related to Islam. Our advice is to help them when they come to your local mosque because they mean well. As to going out with them, it is better not to do so and instead, learn about Islam with your local mosque where you usually get to learn more information in the same amount of time you would put with them.
2- The Imam al-Mahdi will come during the same time prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) will come back again on earth. There are many Hadiths about him. We know that he will fill earth with justice after it has been filled with oppression and corruption. His coming is one of the great signs of the Hour. To get more information about him, please contact your local Islamic center that can share with you the collection of the Hadiths regarding his coming and the end of time. Thank you for asking and God knows best.

Tafseer : Ussul Al tafseer. and Tareekh Al tafseer
Question 4869: I will be grateful if you will kindly explain the meaning of the following two terms: Ussul Al tafseer and Tareekh Al tafseer
Question 4869: I will be grateful if you will kindly explain the meaning of the following two terms: Ussul Al tafseer and Tareekh Al tafseer
Answer: The two terms are used in the study of the Qur'an and its interpretation. The term tafseer means, in its original linguistic sense, "explanation, clarification, interpretation, etc." However, in an Islamic context it refers to the explanation and interpretation of the Qur'an. Since the Qur'an is God's final message to mankind, revealed by Him and preserved in its original form, it is only natural that Muslims should give much attention to the study of the Qur'an and understanding its meaning. This has developed into a major branch of Islamic studies, known as tafseer. Any course of study leading to a university degree in the Islamic studies is bound to have tafseer as an integral and major component. It is indeed a branch in which many scholars specialize. Over the centuries, many scholars have written new commentaries on the Qur'an, trying to explain its meaning. These often have new contributions to make to the study of the Qur'an. In the 20th century, two very eminent scholars have written invaluable commentaries in Arabic. These are Sheikh Rasheed Reda and Sayyid Qutb. Also Maulana Maudoodi wrote Tafheem Al Qur'an which is a commentary running in several volumes in Urdu. Other scholars have written books, or pieces of research, or articles which also contribute to the explanation of the Qur'an. Indeed, the efforts to explain and interpret the meaning of the Qur'an date back to the early days of Islam, with the Prophet explaining to his companions, and to Muslims in general the meaning of numerous verses. Abdullah ibn Abbas is perhaps the most famous commentator on the Qur'an among the companions of the Prophet. He achieved that position of eminence in fulfillment of the Prophet's prayer when he held him as a newborn baby and prayed close to the Ka'aba: "My Lord, make him highly conversant in Islam and teach him in interpretation (of the Qur'an)". Other scholarly companions of the Prophet were known to explain the meaning of surahs and verses. The study of the trends and the development of interpreting the Qur'an comes under the heading Tareekh Al tafseer, or "History of Qur'anic interpretations." As there is a continuous process of studying the Qur'an and explaining its meaning, certain rules and principles are bound to be developed for such studies. For example, scholars agree that the best interpretation of the Qur'an is that which uses the Qur'an itself. This refers to the fact that certain ideas are expressed in the Qur'an in a general way at one point, but elaborated upon later. This elaboration provides the best interpretation of the earlier general statement. Secondly, the Hadith is to be taken as a major basis for interpreting the Qur'an. The third source is statements and comments made by the Prophet's companions. But there are other rules and principles that have been developed by scholars over the centuries. These are studied under the heading Ussul Al tafseer, which may be translated as "Principles of the Qur'anic Interpretation." (Source: Arab News)

Tafseer Ibn Katheer Is One of The Best
Question 99141: Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Does Tafsir Ibn Kathir have many weak hadith?
Question 99141: Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Does Tafsir Ibn Kathir have many weak hadith?
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.Tafseer Ibn Katheer is one of the best Tafseer books that we recommend for its benefit. Like similar books in this genre, it is not free of Dha‘eef (inauthentic) Ahaadeeth, whose inauthenticity is often underlined by Ibn Katheer himself. This is recurrent in Ibn Katheer's book of Tafseer, as he was one of the remarkable scholars of Hadeeth. However, he also cited Dha‘eef (inauthentic) Ahaadeeth whose inauthenticity he did not clarify. There are revised editions nowadays in which the Saheeh (authentic) and Dha‘eef Ahaadeeth contained therein are identified.Allah knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Question 105023: Assalamu Alaikum, there is a book attributed to Imam Ash-Shafi on tafseer. Did he really write a book on tafseer? JazakumAllahu kheirun.
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger. As far as we are aware of, there is no book about Tafseer that was written by Imaam Ash-Shaafi'i . However, there is a book concerning the rulings of the Quran "Ahkaam Al-Quran", which was not directly composed by Imaam Ash-Shaafi'i himself. Rather, it was collected by Al-Bayhaqi from the writings of Ash-Shaafi'i like Kitaab Al-Umm and others.Allaah Knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Tafseer of Imaam Ibn Al-Jawzi

Question 99663: Assalamu Alaikum, someone told me that the tafsir of Imam ibn Jawzi is good and reliable is that true? JazakumAllahu kheirun.
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger. "Zaad Al-Maseer" of Imaam Abu Al-Faraj ibn Al-Jawzi is one of the valuable books in Tafseer, and the knowledge seekers could benefit from it. However, Ibn Al-Jawzi is known for his confusion concerning the Names and Attributes of Allaah, as mentioned by Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah . He sometimes follows the method of the Ashaa'irah in the interpretation of some of the Quranic verses that are related to the Divine Attributes of Allaah. So, the knowledge seeker should take heed of such a thing.Ibn Al-Jawzi was influenced by his Shaykh Ibn 'Aqeel Al-Hanbali thereupon he adopted the arguments of the advocators of T'aweel (i.e. interpreting Allaah�s Names and Attributes in a manner that changes their words from their true context). For further information about the method of the righteous predecessors concerning the Divine Names and Attributes of Allaah, refer Fataawa 89980 and 88618.Allaah Knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Tafseer of the aayah (interpretation of the meaning)And
Allaah will never lead a people astray �� [al-Tawbah 9:115]

Question 94851: I hope that you can explain to us the meaning of the aayah (interpretation
of the meaning)And Allaah will never lead a people astray after He has guided them until He makes clear to them as to what they should avoid. Verily, Allaah is the All-Knower of everything� [al-Tawbah 9:115]
Answer:
Praise be to Allah.
Allaah says, describing
His noble Self and His just Wisdom, that He does not lead people astray
except after His Message has reached them, and proof has been established
against them, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
�And
as for Thamood, We showed and made clear to them the Path of Truth (Islamic
Monotheism) through Our Messenger (i.e. showed them the way of success),
but they preferred blindness to guidance� [Fussilat 41:17]
According
to another view on the interpretation of this aayah, Mujaahid said concerning
the aayah (interpretation of the
meaning):
�And
Allaah will never lead a people astray after He has guided them� [al-Tawbah
9:115] . This aayah
refers to the issue of believers praying for forgiveness for the mushrikeen
in particular. Allaah has made clear the ruling on this matter, it becomes
a sin, so it is their choice whether they do it or not.
Ibn
Jareer said: Allaah is saying that He would not decree misguidance for
them as a result of their seeking forgiveness for their dead mushrik
relatives, after He had guided them and given them faith in Him and
His Messenger, until He had told them of the prohibition so that they
would desist. But before He explained that this is not allowed, if you
did that, He would not decree that you would be led astray because of
that. For obedience and disobedience have to do with commands and prohibitions,
but with regard to matters that have not been commanded or prohibited,
no one can be considered to be obedient or disobedient.

Tafseer of verse 42:29
Question 99283: Assalaamu alaykum. What did the scholars of Tafseer (exegesis) say regarding verse 42:29?
Question 99283: Assalaamu alaykum. What did the scholars of Tafseer (exegesis) say regarding verse 42:29?
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. Ibn Katheer commented on the verse in reference, saying:"The verse: {And of his signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures. And He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent.} [Quran 42:29] (And of His signs): the signs which indicate His great might and power. (The creation of the heavens and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures) means, whatever He has created in them, i.e., in the heavens and the earth. The phrase (of creatures) includes the angels, men, jinn, and all the animals, with their different shapes, colors, languages, natures, races and types. He has distributed them throughout the various regions of the heavens and earth. (And He) means, yet despite all that, (And He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent) means that on the Day of Resurrection, He will gather the first and the last of them and bring all His creatures together in one place, where they will all hear the voice of the caller, and all of them will be seen clearly; then He will judge between them with justice and truth." Sheikh As-Sa'di commented on the verse saying:"One of the signs of His great omnipotence and that He will resurrect the dead and bring them back to life is the creation of the heavens and earth given their grandeur and vastness which indicate His omnipotence and extensive might. The perfection and precision of the creation indicate His wisdom, and the benefits therein indicate His mercy. This proves that He alone is worthy of all forms of worship; none is worthy of worship but Him, and all other deities are false gods. He has spread diverse kinds of creatures from whom human beings benefit and avail themselves in the heavens and earth. He is Able to assemble the whole creation after death for the resurrection and judgment on the Last Day. His limitless power and will prove that He is Able to do so, and this is verified by authentic reports. This has been reported with collectively contiguous chains of narrations by Messengers and documented in their divine books, testifying to this fact." Allah knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Tafseer of verse 52:41
Question 99398: What is verse 52:41 implying or trying to convey? Does it mean that the ghaib (the Unseen, here in this verse it means Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz [the Preserved Tablet]) is in their hands so that they can writ...
Question 99398: What is verse 52:41 implying or trying to convey? Does it mean that the ghaib (the Unseen, here in this verse it means Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz [the Preserved Tablet]) is in their hands so that they can write it down?
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. The two verses were revealed in the context of refuting the claims of the disbelievers and answering to their disbelief in the Prophet (saw) . Tafseer scholars commented on the verse that reads (what means): {Or have they (knowledge of) the unseen...} [Quran 52:41], saying: "It is a rhetorical question to serve condemnation. It means, 'Have they the knowledge of the unseen that they (claim to) know that what the Prophet (saw) is informing them about the Day of Judgment and resurrection is false?' It was also said that the verse answers to their claim that the Prophet (saw) was a poet whose death was awaited for, which was reported in the verse (which means): {Or do they say (of you): A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time?} [Quran 52:30] It means, 'Have they known that Muhammad shall die before them?'" The phrase {...so they write (it) down?} [Quran 52:41], i.e. what they have found out that is contrary to what the Prophet (saw) was telling them. Ibn ʻAbbaas commented, "It means, 'Do they have the Preserved Tablet that they write what is on it and inform people of it (i.e. what shall happen)?'" [Briefly excerpted] At-Tabari wrote, "Allaah, The Exalted, says to the disbelievers of Quraysh: 'Do they have the knowledge of the unseen that they inform people of whatever they want?'" Ibn Katheer wrote, "The verse means: 'This is not the case; (they do not have the knowledge of the unseen for) verily, none of the dwellers of heavens and Earth has the knowledge of the unseen save Allaah, The Exalted.'"

Question 99142: Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, why is that other Tafsirs are more popular than Tafseer Ibn Abbas? Are there other Tafsirs which are written by the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ( Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him).
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger.It is known that Ibn ‘Abbaas – and other Companions all – did not write books on Tafseer (interpretation of the meaning of the Quran). Rather, they interpreted the Quran, and their students learned from them and conveyed that knowledge to the following generation. Like other Islamic sciences, Tafseer was transmitted orally until the era of transcription and writing, which in turn went through several formative phases, until the science of Tafseer evolved into its current form. The first formative phase of writing Tafseer started as a domain within the science of Hadeeth. During this phase, scholars compiled the interpretation of the Quran as a chapter incorporated into Hadeeth books, not as an independent subject. Afterward, Tafseer became an independent science written in books dedicated to it. Some scholars mentioned that the first to write a Tafseer book was ‘Abdul-Malik ibn Jurayj (d. 149 A.H.) Among the most famous scholars who wrote Tafseer books during that phase were Yahya ibn Sallaam Al-Basri (d. 200 A.H.), Ibn Maajah (d. 273 A.H.), Ibn Jareer At-Tabari (d. 310 A.H.), and others. Everything cited in these Tafseer books was transmitted along with its chains of narration. Scholars said that At-Tabari’s Tafseer is the oldest comprehensive Tafseer book that has reached us intact. In this book, At-Tabari presented the sayings of the Companions and their students and the different narrations about the interpretation of the Quran, and he judged which narration outweighed others. Then, scholars, throughout the following eras, continued to write Tafseer books, some of which became famous and received more acclaim than others. Indeed, this is the favor of Allah, The Exalted, which He bestows upon whomever He wills. For more benefit on Tafseer, please refer to Fatwa 192685.Allah knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.Ibn Katheer said in his Tafseer (interpretation of the Quran): "Allaah says (what means): {Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allaah constructed it.} [Quran 79:27]''In this verse, Allaah Almighty presents arguments against those who deny the resurrection, saying: 'Are you, O people, more difficult to create or is the heaven?'; i.e., in fact, the heaven is more difficult to create than you; as Allaah says in another verse (what means): {The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind.} [Quran 40:57] He also says (what means): {Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator} [Quran 36:81] Then, He says (what means): {Allaah constructed it.}; he explains this by the verse that follows: {He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.} [Quran 79:28] This means that He made it a lofty structure, vast in its space, with proportionate sides, and adorned it with stars that shine in the darkness of night."Allaah Knows best.

Answer: Dear Sr. Parisa: As-Salaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu. We
really apologize for the delay in answering your question. We got really backlogged
during the month of Ramadan due to overwhelming amount of questions. In order to deal
with the situation, we currently have a qualified team of Muslim scholars and
specialists
working to answer your questions. Soon, by the grace of Allah, we will be cutting the
answering time to the minimum. Regarding your question, Allah (Almighty) has not
allowed the Believers to take the non-believers as their protectors and helpers. The
Waliy
in Islam is the person who supports and protects the other person. The second part of
the
verse proceeds by explaining that on the other hand, taqiyya is permissible. Taqiyya
is the
taking care of and the protection of a person's own self, family, property, and
hostilities
from aggressors. In that context, Taqiyya is allowed, and permits a Muslim to be
considered to the feelings of non-believers, of oppressors, and of corrupt people by
being
gentle with his/her words towards them, by smiling to them, and even by giving them
certain items, if that would reduce the harm or the gossip or the criticism that they
may
induce to the Muslims. Thank you for asking, and again, sorry for the delay. And Allah
Knows Best.

Question 92638: Assalamu'alaikum
I have an allergy which causes me to sneeze very violently
very frequently. Since I became pregnant, I suffer from
incontinence whenever I sneeze. As I go to work I cannot
change my clothes everytime I need to pray. Can I do wudhu
and still pray when I know my clothes have najis on them. Do
I need to repeat my prayers on returning home?
Please reply soon.
Jazakallah khair.
Answer:
Praise be to Allah.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
" and [Allaah] has not laid upon you in religion any hardship"
[al-Hajj 22:78] and
" Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things
difficult for you" [al-Baqarah 2:185].
It is sufficient, my sister, if you perform wudoo' before every prayer after
the time for it has begun, and do not worry about anything that comes out
after that. You could also put a piece of cloth or something similar so that
the najaasah (impure substance - in this case urine) does not spread, then
throw it away and wash yourself before making wudoo'. We ask Allaah to
heal you and give good health to you and to every sick Muslim.

Question 1818: AS-SALAAMU-ALAIKUM
HOW DOES ONE PRAY THE TAUJID OR MIDNIGHT PRAYER IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL ONE
MUST SAY OR IS IT THE SAME AS ANY OTHER PRAYER ?
AND HOW MANY RAKAS DOES ONE PRAY ? INSAHALLAH CAN YOU SEND ME SOMEHTING SO I
CAN PRAY THE TAUJID PRAYER. SHUKAN
YOUR BROTHER IN FAITH
ABDUR-RAHEEM ISLAM IBN ABDUR-RAHIM ISLAM
Answer: 1818 Dear Br. A.R. As-salaamu alaykum. The Tahajjud prayer is performed
after a person sleeps at night (after Isha') prayer and then wakes up to
do it. It is different from the Qiyam al-Layl prayer which is done after
a person prays Isha and before he/she sleeps, like the Taraweeh prayer
in Ramadan. The Tahajjud prayer is performed in two rikaas sets, i.e.,
after each two rikaas, you say salam, and then you start over again. As
to the number of rikaas, it is a minimum of two and a maximum of 8 (for
the Hanafi school) or a maximum of 10 (for the Maliki school) and
unlimited (for the Shafii school) as long as it doesn't extend the whole
night and miss the Fajr prayer. There are no specific verses you should
recite, but if you have memorized a lot of Surahs of the Qur'an, then ,
it is a sunna to read the long Surahs such as al-Baqarah, aal-Imran,
etc., but if you don't know long Surahs, then the short ones are enough.
Thank you for asking and God knows best.

Every Muslim is encouraged to perform the Tahajjud prayer, which is a recommended Sunnah, regardless of their sex, age, or social status.Indeed, Allah praised the people who perform the prayer by night in His Book and in the Sunnah of His Messenger (saw) and He promised them a great reward; Allah says (what means): {They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend. And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do.} [Quran 32:16-17]Also, Allah informed us regarding the elite of His slaves that they deserved Paradise because among their qualities is that: {They used to sleep but little of the night. And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness.} [Quran 51:17-18]Moreover, the Prophet (saw) said, "The best prayer after the obligatory prayer is the one performed in the deep of the night." [Muslim]Therefore, it is permissible for the unmarried girl to perform the Tahajjud prayer, just like married women, and what that person told you is not true.Allah knows best. (Source: islam_web)

Tahajjud: or the Night Prayer
Question 4870: Could you please give clear ideas about night prayer and its timings, maximum and minimum number of rak'ahs and the method of offering them.
Question 4870: Could you please give clear ideas about night prayer and its timings, maximum and minimum number of rak'ahs and the method of offering them.
Answer: Night worship, or 'tahajjud', is a voluntary prayer which may be offered at any time during the night, after one has offered the obligatory prayer of Isha', and before offering dawn prayer, or Fajr. However, the latter part of the night is preferable for this prayer. It can be offered any night, and one may pray short or long rak'ahs, as one wishes. If he is praying in congregation, it is recommended to the imam to make sure that everyone in the congregation is willing to have long rak'ahs, before he starts. If one is offering night worship, or tahajjud, he is recommended to finish it with witr. The minimum number of rak'ah of tahajjud are two, excluding witer, and there is no maximum. However, it is authentically reported that the maximum number of rak'ahs the Prophet offered on any one night was eleven, including witr. It is suggested that the maximum he offered was thirteen. One may recite the Qur'an loudly or may read it privately in tahajjud. It is preferable to recite loudly if he is alone or if he is in congregation, or if there are people near him who would like to listen to, or may benefit by his recitation. On the other had, if there is someone close to him who is doing his own night worship, or someone who is asleep and may be disturbed, then it is preferable to read the Qur'an privately.

Tahara: Cleaning the Genitals after Urinating

Question 1149: In a Country Like USA, How a Muslim can take care of the Concept of Taharat, ie. Cleaning the genitals after urinating or defecating, especially with regard to the sanitary towel that are available is it ok if we are cleaning the genitals using Sanitary Napkins after urinating or after defecating or we should wash it with water
Answer: Dear Br. S. As-salaamu alaykum. Let's first answer the question and then give suggestions to cope with the problem. It is O.K. to wipe yourself with sanitary napkins if that is the only available way, but if you have access to water, then it is much better and cleaner. To cope with this problem, you may do several things: 1-At home: you should buy a water jug (like the one you water the plants with that has a long tube), and after you finish going to the bathroom, you can pour the water to remove the impurities. There is nothing wrong about asking someone at your local mosque to show you how to use it. It is simple, and once you get used to it, you will never feel comfortable without washing up. That is the easiest and cheapest way. The second thing you may do at home, is to plan going for defecating before taking a shower. As for urination, you may pour water on your genitals with a little jug. The third thing, you may connect a flexible hose with a water control knob from underneath the faucet of the toilet seat. Each time you finish, you can open the knob and spray the genitals to clean them. This is an alternative that can cost about 15 dollars in material from any hardware store. Make sure you don't break the plumbing! Once you install it, it is extremely convenient. The other alternative which is costly (about 100-300 dollars) and only possible in big bathrooms is to install a Bidet (a kind of an inverted small upstream water jet) where you can sit on after finishing going to the bathroom. Also, check it out in hardware stores, but make sure a plumber installs it for you. 2-At your office or in places where you spend a lot of time: keep with you a small water jug if it is not embarrassing to walk with it. Please note that some of your non-Muslims friends may inquire about it, but you will be amazed how many of them will get hooked to the idea after they experience cleanliness. Also, keep a water jug or some wet napkins in your car. 3-In places where you have to go to the bathroom without previous preparations, such as in a restaurant, you can wet some tissue paper, wipe yourself with them, and afterwards dry yourself with dry napkins. Oh! Cleanliness feels good!!! Good luck (Source: IslamiCity)

Answer: Bismillahir-rahmanir-rahim.
Sister,
Islamically, you do not have to worry about your problem which many persons have. Glorified ALLAH revealed in hloly Quran that God does NOT ask people what is beyond their capacity. So, you do have the excuse . And you may make regular wudu and pray even if leaking some urine.

Tahiyat al-Masjid
at times when prayer is not allowed
Question 92476: If a person enters the Masjid during one of
the time when making prayer is makrooh (eg. sunrise, sunset, zawaal,...), does he still
have to pray two rakaa Tahiyat Al-masjid.
Question 92476: If a person enters the Masjid during one of
the time when making prayer is makrooh (eg. sunrise, sunset, zawaal,...), does he still
have to pray two rakaa Tahiyat Al-masjid.
Answer:
Praise be to Allah.
There are differences among the scholars concerning this matter. The
correct opinion is that Tahiyat al-masjid is permitted at all times, even after Fajr and
after �Asr, because of the general applicability of the hadeeth �When any one of
you enters the Mosque, he should not sit down until he has prayed two rak�ahs�
(Saheeh
� agreed upon), and because this is one of the prayers that is done
for a specific reason, like Salaat al-Tawaaf (prayer done after circumambulating the
Ka�bah) and Salaat al-Kusoof (prayer at the time of an eclipse). The correct view
concerning all of these is that it is permissible to do these at times when prayer is
generally disallowed, like making up missed prayers. Concerning Salaat al-Tawaaf, the
Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: �O Banu �Abd
Manaaf, do not prevent anyone from circumambulating this House and praying at any time of
night or day.� (Reported by Imaam Ahmad and the authors of Sunan with a saheeh
isnaad); concerning Salaat al-Kusoof, he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: �The sun and moon are two of the Signs of Allaah; they are not eclipsed
because of the death or life of anyone.� (1/332). (Source: IslamQA)

Tahiyyaat was not from conversation with Allaah on Mi�??raaj night
Question 104482: Please advice if the following is authentic: "Attahiyat recited during salah is actually a part of the conversation between Allah SWT and Prohpet Mohammed (SAW) when he met HIM while on Miraj."
Question 104482: Please advice if the following is authentic: "Attahiyat recited during salah is actually a part of the conversation between Allah SWT and Prohpet Mohammed (SAW) when he met HIM while on Miraj."
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His Slave and Messenger.What you mentioned is not true at all. This is a common saying of many preachers and people who are not knowledgeable of the science of Hadeeth. They say that the wording of Tashahhud originated from a conversation between Allaah Almighty and His Prophet (saw) on the night of Mi�raaj (Ascension to the heavens), namely that the Prophet (saw) said: "All compliments, prayers, and pure words and deeds, are due to Allaah." Allaah said: "Peace be upon you O Prophet, and the Mercy of Allaah and His Blessings be upon you." Then, the Prophet (saw) said: "Peace be upon us and on the righteous slaves of Allaah." Then, the angels said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah."All this is fabricated and it has no foundation in the books of Sunnah. The Fataawa of the Permanent Committee said: "As regards the Prophet (saw) receiving the Tashahhud while prostrating himself (before Allaah) near the Lote Tree in the Highest Heaven on the night of Mi�raaj, we do not know of any foundation for that or for the prostration at that place on the night of Al-Mi�raaj."Allaah Knows best.

Question 110691: Some people listen to the Khutbah (sermon) and pray outside the mosque during the Friday prayer (on the sidewalk or in the street) due to the crowd inside. Is it recommended for those people to perform the Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid prayer before sitting down? Please take into consideration that such a place is not separated from the mosque, as the carpets extend to it from within the mosque. Please advise, and may Allaah Almighty reward you.
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. It is valid to perform the Friday prayer in the mentioned places when there is no more room in the mosque, but the Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid prayer is not required in this case. Before the Khutbah starts, it is permissible to perform any voluntary prayer in such places, but not the Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid prayer. When the Khutbah has already started, the majority of jurists hold the opinion that one must sit and listen. Maaliki scholars even state that it is impermissible for one to start any prayer, whether Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid or any other prayer, when entering the mosque during the Khutbah. So what about those outside who shouldn't even pray it in the first place! They argued that one must listen instead. The Maaliki scholar Ad-Dusooqi said:"The preponderant opinion is that it is prohibited to speak during the Khutbah at all, whether one is inside or outside the mosque in the roads connected to it. It is also applicable whether one listens to the Khutbah or not." Ibn 'Arafah said: "Most scholars have the opinion that silence during the Khutbah is also due on the one who does not listen to the Khutbah, even if he is outside the mosque." Allah Knows best.

Question 111098: I went to the mosque to perform prayer and found some worshippers sitting inside the mosque waiting for the prayer so I greeted them saying, "Assalaamu 'Alaikum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh". Some of them returned the greeting while one of them objected, claiming that such an act was impermissible. He told me that I should have performed the prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid first, as it is a form of greeting to Allaah The Exalted, the Lord of all the Worlds whereas greeting worshipper is a person�s right. Indeed, the right of Allaah The Exalted should be given precedence over that of the people.Could you please clarify this issue mentioning the evidence and references from the four schools of Fiqh? May Allaah The Exalted Reward you generously.
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.Dear questioner, you should know that performing the prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid upon entering a mosque before or after greeting people in the mosque does not justify this worshipper's objection as you have mentioned, as there is no explicit religious text in this regard.However, it would have been better if you had performed the prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid first and then greeted the people inside the mosque. Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim wrote about this issue in Zaad Al-Ma'aad, "According to the Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, one should perform the prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid first before greeting people inside the mosque. Performing the prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid should be done before greeting people since it is the Right of Allaah The Exalted while greeting worshippers is the right of people. Indeed, the Right of Allaah The Exalted should be given precedence over that of people, unlike financial rights. There is a well-known difference of opinion in this regard. The difference between the two cases is that a consideration is given to people's need in the case of financial rights (while Allaah The Almighty Is Free of need). Also, it is beyond a person's ability to fulfill the financial rights of people and that of Allaah The Almighty together unlike the case with greeting in this situation.The Companions used to do so. They would perform the prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid upon entering the mosque and then greet the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam.Rifaa'ah ibn Raafi' said, "As we were with the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, in the mosque, a Bedouin entered and prayed but he did not perform the Rukoo� and Sujood properly. Then he came and greeted the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, with Salaam. The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, greeted him back and said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed."The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, criticized the man for not performing the prayer properly and not for not greeting the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, before performing the prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid. Therefore, when a Muslim enters a mosque and there are people inside it, he has three due greetings to be offered respectively. First, he should recite the supplication of entering the mosque. It is recommended when entering a mosque to supplicate with the following supplication: "Bismillaahi wa As-Salatu wa As-Salaamu 'Ala Rasoolillaah (i.e. In the Name of Allaah and Blessings and Peace be upon the Messenger of Allaah.)." Second, it is recommended for him to perform the two-Rak'ah prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid. Third, he should greet the people inside the mosque." [Zaad Al-Ma'aad V.2, P. 376]Dear questioner, you should know that the prayer of Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid is recommended and not obligatory according to the majority of Muslim scholars.Allaah Knows best.

Tahiyyatul-Masjid takes precedence over joining learning sessions in the Masjid

Question 110927: Is it obligatory to listen to the Quran when it is recited? Is one no longer obliged to perform the Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid prayer if the Quran is being recited in the Masjid? When one enters the Masjid while a religious lecture is being delivered, should he join it or perform the Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid prayer first?
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. Scholars provided three different opinions with regards to listening to the Quran when it is recited:The first opinion: It is recommended to listen to it. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars and Ibn Al-Munthir transmitted their consensus in this regard. The second opinion: It is a communal obligation. This is the adopted opinion by the majority of Hanafi scholars.The third opinion: It is an individual obligation. This is the opinion of some Hanafi scholars. To support their opinion, they quoted the command mentioned in the verse where Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {So when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.}[Quran 7: 204] But the majority of scholars argue that this command is specific to prayer, as is reported from Abu Hurayrah, Mu'aawiyah ibn Qarrah, Mujaahid, Al-Hasan, An-Nakh'i and Adh-Dhahhaak . ['Abdur-Razaaq] According to the majority of scholars, the Tahiyyatul-Masjid prayer is recommended. When one enters the Masjid while a learning session or recitation of the Quran is being held, he should perform a two-Rak'ah prayer before sitting down. It was narrated that Sulayk Al-Ghatafaani entered the Masjid while the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, was delivering the Khutbah and sat down without praying. The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said to him: "O Sulayk, stand up and observe two Rak�ahs and make them short." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] The Tahiyyatul-Masjid prayer takes precedence over joining learning sessions in the Masjid. This is derived from the incident when a man came and imperfectly prayed before the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and thus he commanded him to repeat the prayer. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] The point is that a man would perform a two-Rak'ah prayer and then come to the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and his Companions and greet them. Allaah Knows best.

Tahleel Marriage

Question 117215: If husband gives three irrevocable talak to wife but want to get her back and arrange tahleel marriage to get her my question is 1: as a result he arrange the marriage, will he become unlawful for his ex wife permanently? Or he can remarry her after a valid marriage and divorce of his ex wife. Please answer according to 4madhab in islam.
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. First of all, you should know that it is impermissible for a husband who has irrevocably divorced his wife to seek a Muhallil (a man who marries an irrevocably divorced woman with the intention of divorcing her so that she can remarry her ex-husband). The majority of jurists held that Tahleel marriage (one intended for making an irrevocably divorced woman lawful for her ex-husband) is invalid, and this is the preponderant opinion in this regard, as evidenced by the Hadeeth narrated on the authority of ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir who related that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Shall I not inform you of the borrowed billy-goat (from among men)?” They said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah!” He said: “It is the Muhallil: May Allah curse the Muhallil and the Muhallal lahu (a husband who hires a man to marry his irrevocably divorced wife only to make her lawful for him).” [Ibn Maajah] Moreover, it was narrated that ‘Umar said: “Were a Muhallil and Muhallal lahu to be brought to me, I would stone them both.” [‘Abd Ar-Razzaaq in Al-Musannaf, and others] However, Abu Haneefah held that Tahleel marriage is valid and the wife becomes lawful for her ex-husband on account of such marriage, but the preponderant opinion in this regard is that of the majority of scholars, as mentioned above, given the strength of its supportive evidence.We did not find any statement of any of the jurists of the four Fiqh schools or others stating that Tahleel marriage renders a woman permanently unlawful for her ex-husband. Therefore, if another man marries her in a genuine marriage (not a Tahleel marriage), consummated the marriage with her, and he then happened to divorce her, it is permissible for her first husband to marry her.Allah Knows best.
