Question & Answer Session By Shaykh Muhammad al-Maliki حفظه الله on Saturday, December 29th, 2007 The Shaykh started by praising Allaah and sending salaat and salaam upon the best of creation, the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم and those who follow his Sunnah. The favours of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى upon us Dear Brothers and Sisters, we all know the ni`mah (نعمة – grace, favour) that Allaah تعالى has bestowed upon us with regard to the guidance that He تعالى provided us:
These are ni`am (graces) from Allaah which we need to thank Him سبحانه وتعالى for. We need to thank Allaah تعالى from our hearts – by having proper belief. We need to thank Allaah تعالى by our tongues – by speaking about the ni`am that Allaah تعالى bestowed upon us. We have to thank Allaah by our actions – by adhering to the correct and proper manhaj, the manhaj (methodology) of the Qur'aan and the Sunnah. That is what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم left us upon, as he صلى الله عليه وسلم said in the Saheeh hadeeth: "I have left you upon a white and clear way, its night is like its day, no one misses it except one who is astray."[1] He صلى الله عليه وسلم described it by saying "I have left amongst you that which if you hold onto, you will not be misguided: the Book of Allaah, and my Sunnah, and they both would never be found separated until they come before me, to my lake (the hawd) on the Day of Resurrection."[2] So dear brothers and sisters, the only way to thank Allaah تعالى is to obey Him. Dear brothers and sisters, Allaah سبحانه وتعالى gave us all these graces (ni`am) only so that we should obey Him, follow His Messengers and grasp the proper `Aqeedah (belief). This is the only way to survive in this life and in the Hereafter. So brothers and sisters, fear Allaah with your health, fear Allaah with your wealth, fear Allaah with your family, fear Allaah regarding the guidance that He سبحانه وتعالى gave you so that it will not be taken away from you and then you find no one to guide you. May Allaah تعالى keep us all upon the right path of guidance - upon the Qur'aan and Sunnah. Questions & Answers 1. Question: What is the ruling on being immunized (getting vaccinations) as the ingredients in some vaccines are haraam (unlawful). They may contain pig, blood, and human or animal body parts; for example the Chicken Pox vaccine and DPT (Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis) vaccine. What is the ruling on these vaccinations? Answer: Generally, Islaam came to protect the body, the soul, the wealth, the mind and the heart; as such, there is a well-known saying 'Protection is better than treatment.' (الوقاية خير من العلاج – Prevention is better than cure). Vaccination is one means of protection and Islaam calls for that. As we all know, at the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, there was no vaccination, but there were some ways of protection (against disease) like quarantine. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Do not put a patient with a healthy person and the healthy person should not be placed with an ill person."[3] This was in order to control the spread of the disease. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "If there is disease (plague) in a land you should not enter it (so as to catch it), and if you are in it, you should not leave it."[4] Even if you are not ill (you should not leave the land) because you may carry the virus. From that, the `Ulamaa' have determined that in this time when Science has become advanced such that they have found some means of protection, like vaccines; they say that vaccinations are permissible as it is a way to protect mankind. And Allaah knows Best. 2. Question: I would like to know if it is permissible to pierce the nose (have a nose ring) to be pretty? Answer: Allaah سبحانه وتعالى said: 3. Question: A sister asked: My husband has had a drug problem in the past. One day he was very high and we got into a very bad argument that resulted in a prompt pronouncement of divorce. He thought that it would have made it our third time. However, I am positive that he only made two pronouncements meaning he only said "I give you talaaq" (I divorce you) twice. Now, he said he wanted to make sure we were not violating the Sharee`ah (Islaamic Legislation) and I was asked to leave home, until we get a ruling. Answer: Alhamdulillah, regarding issues of talaaq (divorce), if you were in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia then we would have said that you need to see the Mufti. However, as long as you are in a remote place, you can contact me (the Shaykh) either by telephone or email ( ilmforall@... ) so that I can talk to the man and woman and hear from them both (what they say on the matter). Then I may need to raise it to the Mufti in writing and bring it (his response) to you. And Allaah knows Best. 4. Question: A brother asks: If a person has a speech impediment and he stutters such that his recitation in salaah, including Suratul-Faatihah does not come out good. He stutters and gets stuck on some words and prolong others, and his khushoo` (reverence) may be also affected due to his speech impediment. Is his salaah valid and/or deficient? What should the person do regarding this type of problem? Are there any aayaat, ahaadeeth or fataawa regarding the person with this speech stuttering problem? Answer: Those people who cannot speak well, if they try sincerely and seriously, to perform the acts of worship as best as they can, Allaah تعالى is going to reward them twice, as in the hadeeth where the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "One who recites the Qur'aan fluently, correctly, and nicely will come Yawmul Qiyaamah (on the day of Resurrection) along with the angels. But the one who recites the Qur'aan with difficulty and who cannot recite and pronounce it well, but he tries his best, then he will have a double reward."[5] We know from this that the person with the speech impediment is not sinful because he does not intend to do this, it is accidental. So inshaa Allaah تعالى not only would he be rewarded, but he would be given a double reward for his difficult striving in his recitation and (to maintain) khushoo` in his salaah.
5. Question: A brother asks: I took an interest-based loan for college, but now I regret it and know that I made a mistake. However, I would like to go to the next Albaseerah Seminar with the Scholars, and I don't have the full amount. Is it mandatory for me to first pay off the loan or should I go to the Seminar? Answer: If the amount of money you are going to use to attend the Albaseerah conference in Makkah, meet the Scholars, and learn your Deen could be the final payment of the interest-based loan, such that you won't this have interest-based loan thereafter as it would have been paid in full, then you should first repay this interest-based loan. Inshaa Allaah تعالى the next year you can go with them with halaal (lawful) money. 6. Question: Can a husband lead his wife in prayer when he does not know some of its parts, such as tashahhud, and she knows all the parts of the salaah? Where does she stand when she prays with him – should she stand behind him or to the right of him or next to him? Answer: First of all, it is obligatory for the men to pray the obligatory salaah in the masjid (with the congregation except in extreme cold and rain). When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said in the hadeeth, "did you hear the adhaan?" [6] it does not mean that he necessarily hears the adhaan and then goes (to the masjid). Rather, they say if he lives, or is within a distance that allows him to hear the adhaan if the mu'adhdhin raised (called) it from above the masjid, then he has to go to the masjid. 7. Question: A friend of mine is now 18 and wants to get married. She does not want her father to be involved in the marriage nor be her wali. He molested her when she was a child so she was wondering what she should do? Should she cut relations with him, would that be forbidden? She does not contact him at all, is that okay to do? She hates to speak to him because she remembers the things he did. He acts as if nothing happened and he also does not pray and he does a lot of haraam (unlawful) things. She asks for your naseehah (advice). Answer: The Shaykh asked if she is a legitimate daughter of this man or not? Shaykh Zaahid answered by saying: Allaah know best, this is what was mentioned in the question. 8. Question: What is the ruling on filming and videotaping, and in which cases is it permissible? Answer: With regard to filming, videotaping and photography, let us return to the original form which is photography; the `Ulamaa' (Scholars) have differed in this matter. The reason they hold different opinions is based on the hadeeth where the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "The curse of Allaah is upon the musawwireen."[7] The word musawwireen (مصورين) in Arabic originally meant those who paint pictures of living beings like mankind or animals. This was the original (meaning of the word) soorah (صورة). However, the Arabs of today, when they saw the camera and how it projects pictures and photographs, they named the photograph 'soorah' and the photographer 'musawwir'; to my understanding this is wrong. They even call the photocopy machine 'soorah', whereas it is not (really) 'soorah' as it copies, and in Arabic the (word) copy is nuskhah (نسخة). The problem stemmed from that aspect and that is why some of the `Ulamaa' say that photographs are haraam and the one who takes photographs is cursed as in the hadeeth. The Shaykh then said Jazaak Allaahu khayran to Shaykh Zaahid, Albaseerah.org, and all those present during the session and he then gave his salaams to all. Shaykh Zaahid responded by thanking Allaah, then Shaykh Muhammad al-Maliki and the listeners. He then re-announced the `Aqeedah, Tafseer, and Fiqh classes. References and Notes [1] Reported by Ahmad, Ibn Maajah 1/16 (#43) and al-Haakim as part of a longer hadeeth of Irbaad ibn Sariyah. Shaykh al-Albaanee رحمه الله says Saheeh in Saheeh al-Jaami (Hadeeth #4369). قد تركتكم على البيضاء ليلها كنهارها لا يزيغ عنها بعدي إلا هالك [2] Reported with the following wording by al-Haakim on the authority of Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه. Shaykh al-Albaanee رحمه الله says Saheeh in Saheeh al-Jaami (Hadeeth #2937). تركت فيكم شيئين لن تضلوا بعدهما كتاب الله وسنتي ولن يتفرقا حتى يردا علي الحوض [3] Reference pending. However, the first part of the hadeeth quoted was reported with the following wording in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree on the authority of Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه in The Book of Medicine (كتاب الطب), Hadeeth (#5437). Also reported in Saheeh Muslim and other than that. لا يوردنَّ ممرِض على مصح [4] Reported with the following wording in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree in The Book of Medicine (كتاب الطب), Hadeeth (#5396). Also reported in Saheeh Muslim with a similar wording. إذا سمعتم بالطاعون بأرض فلا تدخلوها، وإذا وقع بأرض وأنتم بها فلا تخرجوا منها [5] Reported with the following wording in Saheeh Muslim, The Book of The Travellers' Prayer and Shortening it (كتاب صلاة المسافرين وقصرها), Hadeeth (#798). Also reported with a similar wording in Saheel al-Bukhaaree, The Book of Tafseer (كتاب التفسير), Hadeeth (#4653). الماهر بالقرآن مع السفرة الكرام البررة. والذي يقرأ القرآن ويتتعتع فيه، وهو عليه شاق، له أجران [6] Reported in Saheeh Muslim as part of a longer hadeeth, The Book of the Mosques and the Places of Prayer (كتاب المساجد ومواضع الصلاة), Hadeeth (#653). "هل تسمع النداء بالصلاة؟" [7] Reported with the following wording as part of a longer hadeeth in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree in The Book of Divorce (كتاب الطلاق), Hadeeth (#5032). لعن المصورين |
