Sheikh, quick question, can I go to the barbers and just trim my back and sides to a level 2? Not touching the middle part of my hair? I've read your answers on Qaza haircuts but I just wanted to make sure if it's applicable to me jazakallah Khair

December 05, 2016

As long as you're not imitating a haircut of a defiant sinner or a disbelieving celebrity, then there's no harm in what you mentioned.

What about alcohol in medicine?

December 05, 2016

There's no single chemical substance called alcohol; it's a family of substances, called alcohols, where it has an n number of carbon atoms C, 2n+1 number of hydrogen atoms H, and one hydroxyl functional group OH. One of the most basic alcohols is ethanol C2H5OH, which is found in intoxicant drinks. All alcohols are poisonous, and all other alcohols (methanol "wood alcohol", propanol, etc) are much more poisonous than ethanol.
Ethanol is intoxicant. And thus it can be used in small amounts as sedative in medicines for treating couch, insomnia, etc.
The ruling of consuming ethanol is that it's prohibited, whether for medicinal or recreational use; for the Prophet said: "anything which is intoxicant in plenty is forbidden even in small measures." And "God would not let us need cure in that from which He forbade us."
As for the ruling for consuming the higher orders of alcohols, then ruling is that they're prohibited due to their high toxicity, for the Prophet said "there shall be no harm, nor self harm."

I am trying to complete my masters (Action A) and my intention in doing so is just so I can please my parents. But my intention to please my parents (Action B) is for the sake of Allah. Will I be doing action A indirectly for the sake of Allah? Will I be rewared for it?

December 05, 2016

Yes. The means have the same designation in Islam as goals.

---

Allah says: o my servant, I got sick and you didn't visit me. The person says: how would you get sick and you are the Lord of the worlds?! He says: my servant so and so got such and you didn't visit him, had you visited him it would have been like you have visited me.

---

N.B: that's different when your means become goals in themselves. For example if you fall in love with a girl so much that you would disobey God for the sake of her love. That's a love which is separate from the love of God. But if your love to get makes you have patience until you marry her, then that's love for the sake of God.

What do you say about those who promote the view that salah must not be made up if missed? So many laymen go around making fun of the Hanafis for believing that until they realise all 4 schools do, and then they go on about following dalil.

December 05, 2016

My understanding is that Hanafi scholars, as well as all other mathaahib, are upon the view that every missed prayer must be made up. There's a minority opinion that it cannot, but contrary to public belief it isn't the easier opinion. The scholars who said it meant that there's no repentance for missing prayers, and that the person must be punished for it in the hereafter!

sheikh albany said that a women who is حائض can touch the mushaf , is this a valid opinion that any of the salaf adopted ? shud i blame my sister for following this fatwa ?

December 05, 2016

No one from the four mathaahib ever did or said this, and it's not a valid opinion. You should let your sister read the opinions of the salaf on this, the four imams and the mutamad in each mathhab. Also to note that sheikh alalbany was a scholar of hadeeth, with basic Fiqh training or qualifications. His focus was on hadeeth and he did an incredible job in it. A great doctor cannot build your home, nonetheless. He made numerous mistakes in Fiqh that contradicts the understanding of the salaf, rahimahuAllah.

*facepalm* of course I have tasted love. I didnt want to ask Sheikh Google (maybe I should have). Please (kindly) reply in terms of if there are any benefits in the akhira for it. Any hadiths etc.

December 05, 2016

You still think there's a need for a reason in love? *Double face palm*
Someone who truly loves someone, is ought to think about dying next to them, and being resurrected next to them on the day of judgement.
Why do you think people fight over dying in Madina?!

Are you following up on this?
http://ask.fm/MajedJarrar/answer/139673343810
There are four mathaahib, Hanafi, Maliki, Shafii and Hanbali. They all have the same belief, but they differ in rulings, such as how to pray, how to lease, how to get married, animals permissible to eat/hunt etc.
Follow any knowledgeable, righteous scholar who's following any of these mathaahib and you're guaranteed to be on the safe side, by consensus of the Ummah.

Well, isn't Morphine and virtually every anesthetic used in healthcare an intoxicant?

December 04, 2016

There are three different things here:
1. Intoxicants: they numb the mind and cause pleasure.
2. Sedatives: they numb the mind and limbs, and cause relaxation.
3. Anaesthetics: they knock out the mind and or limb completely.

---

Intoxicants are prohibited at all times, and are punishable by law.

---

Sedatives and anaesthetics aren't, but the ruler may prescribe penalties for using them for recreational use.

The Prophet said: Allah has forbidden upon us to seek cure in that which He forbade us from.

As salam alkyum. Is it a must to pray in front of a sutra? Even if I kno that no one will walk in front of me or if I'm at home

December 03, 2016

A sutra is sunnah. If it's not a wall or a pillar, then a chair or a table, if not then a box or a bag, if not then a keychain or a wallet, if not then at least a line in the carpet, any of these (in that order) would suffice for a sutra.

Your opinon on buying Kitab al Adhkar by shaykh al-Islam imam an-Nawawi? I mean...there are many weak ahadith..but do u recommend it to buy? I even heard people saying: ''we witnessed miracles after reciting the adhkar from this book''

December 02, 2016

Of course buy it and read it and memorise it if you can. Anyone who tells you otherwise smile and say it was nice meeting you, then walk away. Never talk to them again. 😎

Does the fatawa of the 7 fuqaha of Madinah have any importance in the Hanbali madhab?

November 30, 2016

Absolutely. It is uncommon that there's any opinion in the three other mathhaabs or by previous fuqahaa that isn't found within our mathhab. If it's not in the mathhaab then it's for a reason, and you can look up that matter and find a discussion why that opinion isn't in the mathhab.

The "mufti" Abu Layth was asked about secularism. He said there was islamic power before but never ( few) pious rulers. He said that there were pubs, brothels without any cricism in the time of Umayyads, Abbasids, Ayyubids, Ottomans etc. He said "islamist" rulers only ruled short time. Ur opinion?

November 29, 2016

I don't know him and don't have contact with him, but I do have my contact with you right now. Here's my advice to you:
If you're not following his opinions, don't listen to him. If you're listening to his opinions, don't follow me.
When you have a question about a ruling, ask a scholar whom you trust their knowledge and righteousness. If you ask, don't say what do you think of so and so who said such and such. I hate that more than the news you brought me.

But how can one get rich in this world? I heard many peple saying daily adhkar, istighhfar, good akhlaq, not cheating and morning&evening adkhar, night prayer can increase the wealth And of course, if a person hears it...and start practice it...should that not be ghayr ikhlas?

November 29, 2016

The prophet said: Had this world been more worthy in the eyes of God than the wing of a mosquito = He would not have granted any disbeliever a sip of water from it.

---

My concern is with your focus on becoming rich here. Listen with your heart wide open and read three times:
The Prophet said:
"Whosoever makes this life their [sole or greatest] concern, God will scatter their matters, place [the fear of] poverty between their eyes, and yet, they will not earn anything more than He decreed for them.
And Whosoever makes the hereafter their concern, God put bring their matters together for them, place richness in their heart, and the whole world will be brought to them on her knees."

http://ask.fm/MajedJarrar/answers/139609927746 If there was one very powerful, customizable system that would be like a franchise, and it had the right marketing and administration, do you think it could be a breakthrough? Especially for those who are disappointed with Islamic schools?

November 29, 2016

Possibly, I don't think educational research has reached this maturity though, to determine what's customisable and what shouldn't be. It's a great idea theoretically. To my knowledge, however, what you're suggesting hasn't been implemented by 'mainstream' (vis a vis Islamic) homeschooling initiatives, despite having significantly more resources and demand. However, this only means there's a lot of room for contribution. Go for it and reserve me a copy.

What do you think of homeschooling in general? Also, wouldn't Muslims all over the world benefit greatly if someone were to come up with a strong, complete system for educating young Muslims (as an alternative to mainstream education)?

November 29, 2016

There's already solutions, like this:
https://www.iconetwork.com/
There's also free apps that contain PDF scans of public school curricula in many Muslim countries.
Homeschooling is built upon the customisation of learning, and the fact that people are different. Therefore people choose differently.
