حديث 'الوائدةُ والموؤودةُ في النّارِ':

قال الشيخ عبدالله الجديعُ: هذا الحديثُ اختُلفَ في سندِه ومتنِه، وبعضُ ما قيلَ في تعليلِه يكفي لإسقاطِه.
هذا الحديثُ لا يثبتُ وهو معلَّلٌ لمعارضةِ القرآنِ ('وإذا الموؤودةُ سُئِلَتْ بِأيِّ ذنبٍ قُتِلتْ') وأيضا هو مُعارِضٌ لما هو أحسنُ منه وهو: 'المولودُ في الجنّة والوئيدُ في الجنّة' (وهو حديثٌ صالحٌ، أي: يُستشهَد بمثلِه، وهو أولى بقبولٍ).

فخلاصةُ القول: حديثُ الوائدة والموؤودة لا يصحُّ، مضطربٌ سندًا ومختلفٌ متنًا، وشرحَ علّتَه البخاريُّ في التاريخ الكبير والدارقطنيُّ في العلل.

This is a hadith also related to the topic of non-Muslim children who pass away before the age of moral accountability. They have secured their place in Paradise InSha'Allah, and there exists a report of Prophet Ibrahim in that regard.

I just remembered I have detailed notes on Sh. Hatim al-Awni's lectures regarding Allah's justice and mercy in relation to the hereafter and salvation.

They're actually quite insightful, and I hope to share them here. Hopefully now that I've mentioned it, it'll force me to actually revisit my notes! 😁🙏

Worry not, I'll share these notes later tonight InSha'Allah. 😁

Sh. Hatim al-Awni - 'Divine Justice and Mercy in Relation to Seeking Truth' (Personal notes in English)

These are my personal notes from Sh. Hatim al-Awni's three-and-a-half-hour long lectures on the topic.

You can find the links to the original videos here:
Part 1 - https://youtu.be/kcFL8CZ3r3w
Part 2 - https://youtu.be/s3GPZX2lmfs

This is naturally a multilayered topic. My purpose is to simply capture the intent of the speaker rather than share personal thoughts on every point. May Allah bless you all. 🙏❤️

On the permissibility of women's attendance in mosques:

This is a good question. I think tbh its application today is fairly straight forward at least in the West.

If someone acknowledges that the default ruling in the time of revelation, as explicitly stated by the Prophet (peace be upon him), is permissibility of women attending the mosque, then the only question is whether there is any strong reason to depart from this default status - in a way that considers both short-term and long-term harms & benefits in preventing women attending mosques, and that is consistent with how women actually engage in society and occupy spaces in every other domain.

But I'll share a bunch of useful references on the topic below:

This is also an aspect of Sadd al-Dhari'ah that I don't think Sh. Judai mentions in his Usul work
