▪️ Does Touching one's Private Parts Break the Wudu▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
Does touching the male private part without intent break the wudhu?
📤 Answer:
This is from the matters which have a difference of a opinion. There is the hadith of Busrah [“Whoever touches his private part then he should make wudhu”] which is an authentic hadith. Then there is the hadith of Talq [“Verily it is a part of you”] which opposes it. When the man mentioned to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم if the person could touch his private part and he has wudhu so the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him [“Verily it is a part of you”] and he didn't order him to redo his wudhu.
So a difference of opinion occurred between the scholars in this matter. Some of them say if you touch your private part with the bottom of your hand then it breaks your wudhu. As forward if it is with the back of the hand or the forearm or elbow or with any other part of his body then this does not break the wudhu, only if it is with the bottom of the hand.
From the scholars are those who say if he touches his private parts with desire then this breaks his wudhu as for it he touches them with no desire then this doesn’t break his wudhu. Then from them (the scholars) is those who says the order is for istihbāb (recommendation) not wujūb (obligation) because of the hadith of Talq and this is closest to being the correct opinion by combining between the two hadith and Allah knows best.
Therefore that which is considered is if something exits the private part, not by mere touching alone, but if someone was to have a desire and then something exited his private part then his wudhu is broken.
In this case then touching alone does not break the wudhu and Allah knows best.

▪️ Doing Business with Banks that have Interest▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
Is it permissible to do business with a bank by ordering a product from China then by putting the value of this product in the bank while they inform the seller about this, they also don't give them the money until I receive my product? If this is not permissible then is it permissible to send money via the bank to another person in another country in order to buy the product?
📤 Answer:
Whatever is a necessity then the necessity makes that which is prohibited permissible. The principle is that there is no prohibition if there is a necessity the same way that there is no wājib (obligation) with inability. Therefore if a person is forced to do this and there is no way to get to his product except this method then he can use it, however if he finds another way (that is permissible) then he should use it.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Saying Bārak Allah Fīk” When the Child Sneezes▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
Is this authentic from the Prophet ﷺ - as Sheikh al-Fawzān (may Allah preserve him) said that “as for the young child then if he sneezes then you don't say to him “yarhamuk Allah” rather you supplicate for him by saying “bārak Allah fīk” because a child sneezed by the Prophet ﷺ so he said to him “bārak Allah fīk” and ordered the child to say” alhamdulillah” from the way of teaching?
📤 Answer:
I don't think that this is authentic from the Prophet ﷺ, perhaps it is the stance of some of the scholars. I have seen something like this in (the book) Al-Ādāb by Ibn Muflih that is has been reported from al-Hasan that it is to be supplicated for him for barakah as for that it is from the Prophet ﷺ then no I don't know this.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Preserving Ones Time▪️
Our Shaykh, Abu Abdillah Muhammad ba Jamaal -may Allaah preserve him- said:
✨ Benefit:
The fourth matter is staying away from these new social media applications. The likes of WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, IMO and there likes. Be very wary of them. Because perhaps hours will pass and one is busy with these programs. These take from your (valuable) time oh student of knowledge. So it is a must that one be wary of these. And not to engage in them accept for a need.
As for always being on these programs taking up long periods of ones time (this is not good). This is a waste of one's time.
But for example, it's ok, if one is memorizing, reviewing or writing and he gets tired, for him to contact his family, friends or companions here and there, this is ok.
As for constantly busying yourselves and wasting ones time and persisting on these media groups, then No.
So now one person may be apart of five or ten different group that he sends and receives messages from. And in these groups you have good (people) and bad (people). Because these group are free and open to all (righteous and wicked). Then after that everyone get to send whatever he wishes.
Let's say you are apart of a group that has 100, or 200 or 300 people. How many messages will be sent in just that group in one day? And how many of those messages will you get to read? Let's say there is a reply to one of these messages, you are going to want to follow along to see what the people are saying. So without a doubt this will busy you tremendously. Hours will go by and you are still following the latest reply.
Or this one sends a benefit from Ibn Qayim and this one sends a benefit from Shaikh al-Islaam and this one sends a benefit from Ibn Hazm and this one from Imaam Ahmad. Benefit after benefit after benefit. I mean just merely mentioning benefits.
And some may say but I benefit from these. That is if what was posted as a benefit actually is from that scholar. How many times people post benefits then you go back to the source and that statement is nowhere to be found.
And for this reason these groups take your time and busy you. And for that reason if a student of knowledge has a need for the likes of these (social media applications like) WhatsApp in order to communicate with his family and relatives that are far away and perhaps if he had to call them on the phone it would be very expensive and this way is easier and more inexpensive then don't busy yourselves with these groups. But if it's a group for one of the scholars or callers to Allah that are firm in knowledge, and they place on there khutabahs and talks and classes and the likes of these that one wishes to listen to and benefit from then there is no harm in this.
But to busy oneself with listening to everything that is posted on all these groups that is not possible. There is no way one can seek knowledge while listening to everything on all these groups. It's not possible. And even too many classes from this one and that one, it will busy you and distract one from his own talib Ilm.
However if one is busy away from seeking knowledge with work and other affairs then there is no problem for one to benefit from these classes.
So for this reason I see that these social media groups are busysome and are a source of distraction for the student of knowledge.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Can a Woman with a Low-lying Placenta Pray Sitting▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
If a woman has a low-lying placenta then it is permissible for her to pray the 5 obligatory prayers sitting down?
📤 Answer:
There is the hadith of Imrān bin Hussain (may Allah be pleased with him) in Al-Bukhari that the Prophet ﷺ said,
“Pray standing and if you are not able to do so then (pray) sitting then if you're not able to do so then (pray) on your side”¹
So therefore whoever is afflicted with an illness or the likes which makes it difficult for them to stand or standing will increase their illness then it is permissible for them to pray sitting down and if sitting harms them then it is permissible for them to pray on their side.
So therefore the woman who has been trialed with a low-lying placenta then she is advised to treat it. Secondly if she is not able to pray standing up and it is possible that it could harm her then she can pray sitting down and there is no problem with this.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Wedding Customs where Men and Women come Together▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
It is from our custom that on the wedding night when the groom brings his bride to his house and they are next to each other, the women of the village gather together, those who are prohibited for him to marry and those who it is permissible for him to marry whilst yodeling and whistling with their mouths for close to 5 minutes then they leave. What is the ruling on this gathering?
📤 Answer:
This gathering is not permissible because it includes women that are permissible for him to marry and maybe beautifying and temptation could occur. Also what is the need for this, if it was only the bride other than the groom then there is no problem with the women greeting her, as for the groom and the bride gathering then this is a mistake and should not be approved of rather it is obligatory that it be rebuked.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Mixing with the People of Innovation in Charity Organisations▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
What is the ruling on mixing with the people of innovation in charity organisations?
📤 Answer:
Do not mix with them o my brother, rather stay away from them. How many times did Our shaykh Al-Wadiee (may Allah have mercy on him) warn against these charity organisations?! His voice became hoarse and he was still warning against them because they change (the person). How many times have we heard from people that say “we used to have preachers and teachers then they started to work with these organisations so they ended up with them, to the point now we've had to start searching for preachers and imam’s”.
They became busy with gathering money and searching for the poor and orphans. This is not up to you oh student of knowledge, this is not up to you o caller to Allah, leave this for the general folks if they want to pursue that, however without (the use of) these organisations, these organisations have many transgressions.
Therefore because of this it is obligatory to leave off these organisations and not to mix with them. Like one of the people who became preoccupied with these organisations used to say “these organisations are in the apparent charitable however they inwardly represent foreign concepts”. So be wary of them, how many have these organisations corrupted from people who used to be upon guidance, they used to be writers, researchers, teachers upon the sunnah and uprightness then ended up going to waste and went weak because of these organisations.
Our shaikh Al-Wadiee (may Allah have mercy on him) used to call it “Coated Partisanship”.
We ask Allah for safety and good health from the apparent and unapparent trials and tribulations.

▪️ Compete with the People of Falsehood on the Internet▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
What is the explanation of this speech of As-Sheikh Al-Uthaymēn in which he says “compete with the people of falsehood on the internet”. As you are not blind to the fact that the internet sites have increased a lot and if we were to start competing with the people of falsehood I fear that there would be no end.
The question is 'what is the correct approach to this’?
📤 Answer:
The correct approach to this is to compete with the people of falsehood with the truth within the permitted boundaries, as for other the this then no.
Therefore if the person is going to spread knowledge and good and call to Allah by way of social networks without using anything that is impermissible, without pictures, without temptations, without entering corrupted sites then there is no problem with this. As for if it consists of temptations then it should be left off.
It is not conceivable that the person strives for the well being of others while corrupting himself and strives for the salvation of others while ruining himself. This person's state is like the one of the candle, it makes light for others while burning itself.
We came across some speech of Abu Hāzim Salamah ibn Dīnār (may Allah have mercy on him) where he mentioned that the person should not strive for the well being of others while ruining himself. So therefore, anything you do which includes the benefit of others and corruption for yourself then leave it. Likewise, if there is something which if you were to leave it off it would harm others however it benefits you then take that which benefits you because the Prophet ﷺ said, “Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking Allah for help and do not refrain from it”. Reported by Abu Hurairah in Sahih Muslim.
Therefore this is what is sought after, as for competing with the people of falsehood on websites and then you end up becoming astray and fell into temptations and corruption and evil (then you should not do this). Verily these websites are dangerous and they include many evils so therefore it is necessary to be alert.
Also the speech of a scholar is not a Quranic verse or prophetic saying. Verily the intent of As-Sheikh Al-Uthaymēn (may Allah have mercy on him) here is to compete with the people of falsehood without using falsehood. As for competing with them whilst using falsehood then no! Therefore if you were to pursue the permitted approach in calling the people then this is what is sought after as for if this approach includes harm then (the Prophet ﷺ said) “Do not cause harm or return harm”¹. Repelling harm is given precedence over obtaining that which benefits, this is a principle.
And Allah knows best.

Verily the intent of As-Sheikh Al-Uthaymēn (may Allah have mercy on him) here is to compete with the people of falsehood without using falsehood. As for competing with them whilst using falsehood then no! Therefore if you were to pursue the permitted approach in calling the people then this is what is sought after as for if this approach includes harm then (the Prophet ﷺ said) “Do not cause harm or return harm”¹. Repelling harm is given precedence over obtaining that which benefits, this is a principle.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Beautifying the Voice with the Qurān During the Jumuah Khutbah
▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
What it the ruling on beautifying the voice when reciting the Qurān during the Jumuah khutbah?
📤 Answer:
There is no proof for this. For verily whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a Khutbah, his eyes would become red, his tone loud and he showed anger as if he were warning us against an army. He (ﷺ) would say, "The enemy is about to attack you in the morning and the enemy is advancing against you in the evening". The hadith is reported by Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) in Muslim. Therefore the one who recites isn't able to warn against an army. Warning against an army requires a strong voice and this isn't possible while beautifying the voice. Therefore beautifying the voice with the Qurān during the khutbah isn't from the sunnah.
In other than the khutbah of jumuah, that which I like for myself and desire to hear is that the Quran is recited in the same voice that one speaks with and the person doesn't beautify his voice with it because we don't know that this has been reported from the sahābah that they mentioned that if the Prophet ﷺ spoke and mentioned a verse that he beautified his voice with it.
Even if a lot of the general folk incline towards this, then the inclination of them is not considered a proof so that we approve of these types of things.
This is what I like for myself and also when I listen to others speak that if they mention a verse that they recite it the same way that they speak. As for beautifying the voice then I don't feel comfortable with that.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Crying During the Prayer without Humility
▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
Is the ruling on crying during the prayer without humility that it nullifiers the prayer? With mentioning the evidence.
📤 Answer
The answer is 'no'. For example a person is praying and remembered the death of his father or mother so he cried. Or while he is praying and someone came to him and said “your son fell and died” so he cried. The likes of this doesn't nullify the prayer.
As for if he cried to show off to the people then this is something extra and it is not connected to condition or pillar of the prayer. However it is feared that he may nullify his worship because of his showing off and he is warned [of the punishment for showing off]. But do we say his prayer is nullified? No.
From the scholars are those who generalise and say that crying invalidates the prayer for the one who does it intentionally. However the correct opinion is that the one who is overwhelmed by crying and it is for the sake of Allah, fearing Allah and the fire, desiring Allah’s paradise and likewise whilst remembering some of the stories [from the Quran] and warnings and likes of this, then was overwhelmed by crying then there is no problem with this and it doesn't harm his prayer.
As for purposely intending to cry then this is not good and the hadith “weep, and if you cannot weep then pretend to weep”¹. then it is not authentic even if some of them [the scholars] call to this and say it causes humility and tranquillity then there is no need for this.
And Allah knows best

▪️ Taking Ones Wife to a Male Eye Doctor When There is No Female Eye Doctor ▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
There is a brother who is asking about the ruling on taking his wife to a male eye doctor with the knowledge that there is no female eye doctor in his city. Is it upon him to search (for a female doctor) in other cities?
📤 Answer:
The answer is that a man does not take his wife to a male doctor except for a necessity and if there is no female doctor. As for if it is not for a necessity in terms that could be done after a week or two then it is upon him to search for a female doctor even if she is in another city or country, in search of preserving her modesty and her staying covered so that male strangers don't look at her.
And Allah knows best.

▪️The Reason for the Increase in Divorces in our Time▪️
Our Shaykh, Abu Abdillah Muhammad ba Jamaal - may Allaah preserve him - said in one of his lessons:
🔹▪️🔹▪️🔹▪️🔹▪️🔹▪️🔹▪️
✨ Benefit:
Allamah Fawzan was asked about the increasing number of divorces in this time and is it because of the women. So he said, Of course. Because now these women have employment. Some are teachers, they work, they have salaries. So now they are not listening to and obeying their husbands. They are like, "You work, I work, you get a salary I get a salary. Their is no difference between us. You have a job and I have a job and perhaps I make more money. So why is it your trying to impose your ideas and rules upon me. There is no difference between me and you. You have a degree and I have a degree. You earn a salary and I earn a salary."
So he (Shaikh Fawzan) said, "The woman has become like the man. So now there is no place for her to have to obey her husband. She follows her own ideas and opinions. So she says, "Either you stay with me the way I want or you divorce me which I could care less about."
And Allah's aid is sought.

▪️ Supplicating in Sujūd in other than the Arabic Language? ▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
Is it permissible to supplicate in sujūd during the obligatory and non obligatory prayer in other than the Arabic language?
📤 Answer:
Supplicating is not obligatory rather it is a sunnah and the correct opinion is that it is permissible. As for if he is proficient in the Arabic language then it is better for him to supplicate in Arabic. However if he is not proficient in it or it is difficult for him and maybe he spends a lot of time trying to put sentences together then he should supplicate with that which he is able and it is not obligatory that it be with the Arabic language. The ruling in this is one whether it be during the obligatory or non obligatory prayer.
Likewise supplicating with that which has been reported [in the Quran and sunnah] or that which has not been reported, then it is all permissible.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Describing Allah with the Attribute of الشوق (desire) ▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
Is it permissible to describe Allah with the attribute of الشوق (desire) like some say “Allah desires to hear your supplication”?
📤 Answer:
The names and attributes of Allah are only taken from the Quran and Sunnah, so therefore we don't describe Allah with that which Allah and His Messenger ﷺ didn't describe Him with. This word 'desire’ we don't know it to be established in the Quran or the Sunnah but rather we say “he loves”, [the Prophet ﷺ said] "Verily, Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His slave than a person who lost his camel in a desert land and then finds it (unexpectedly)".¹
Likewise The word 'love’ [Allah says in the Quran]
✨{إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلتَّوَّٰبِينَ وَيُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَطَهِّرِين}
"Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves."
Allah loves worship and obedience from his slaves and from that is supplicating. It is mentioned in a hadith [that the Prophet ﷺsaid]:
“Whomsoever doesn't ask Allah he becomes angry with him" narrated by Abu Hurairah. However it is not authentic because in it's chain of narrators is Abu Sālih Al-Khūzē and he is deficient in his narration.
Whatever the case may be, this word 'desire’ is to be avoided but rather it is said that Allah ‘loves’ from his slaves piety and obedience, Allah loves from his slaves to be thankful and supplicate.
And Allah knows best

▪️ In the Case of an Accident is the Cost of Fixing a Car upon the Owner or the Person he Allowed to Drive the Car?▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
I sent someone with my car for a need of mine and whilst he was driving the car he entered a hole in the road which affected the balance of the car until he ended up in the other lane and crashed with another car. Is the cost of fixing my car upon me or the person that l sent?
📤 Answer:
The person whom you sent your car with is the one who carried out the crash and if anyone were to have died from the crash then he is the one who the compensation is upon not you. So likewise if because of the crash something happened to your car or the other person's car then he is the one who shoulders the responsibility.
However by way of good doing and for the fact that he went in the first place for your need then it is appropriate for you to pay to fix the car and say to him “don't worry I'll fix the car” because he went out in the first place for your need so you should help him the same way he helped you. This is not obligatory but it is by way of returning a favour.
And Allah knows best

▪️ A Person Wants to Travel to Yemen to Seek Knowledge however His Mother Wants Him to Make Hajj with Her this Year▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
I used to study in Yemen for the duration of 2019 and my mother wanted me to make Hajj in 2020, for this reason I returned to India with my family. However by the decree of Allah I am not able to make Hajj this year 2021 because of the problems caused by the Corona virus. I want to travel to Yemen again to seek knowledge however my mother wants me to make Hajj this year but it is still not certain.
I personally fear for myself and my family by staying here in India from what I see in the difference in our emān in comparison with last year. I am certain that hijrah is the only solution for me to protect my family however Hajj is also obligatory upon me. What should I do?
📤 Answer:
If you're able to perform Hajj this year then good and well. Wait for your mother and preserve your self and family and occupy yourself with beneficial knowledge, sit with righteous people and contact them so that they can send you sermons and lessons to help you stay firm upon Islam and the Sunnah. Then if this year goes by and you were not able to perform Hajj then as soon as you get the news that you won't be able to go to Hajj then come back to Yemen because Hajj has become not possible for you. So whenever you get the chance and it is possible again for you to go and make Hajj with your mother and fulfil the obligation that is upon you.
And Allah knows best.

▪️ Inability to Perform Wudu because of a Skin Disease▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
A person has spots called "German smallpox," spread across his face and body, so the doctor advised him not to make wudu (ablution). He stopped making wudu and started doing tayamum then he wasn’t able to perform tayamum because of the spots on the whole of his face. Is it permissible for him to pray without ablution and is his prayer correct, or is it upon him to wait until he is cured from this illness, with the knowledge that he has been praying these day’s without ablution or tayamum?
📤 Answer:
The answer is [Allah says in the Quran]
{فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ}
"Fear Allah as much as you are able."
{لَا یُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ}
"Allah does not burden a person beyond his scope."
[The Prophet ﷺ said]
ما أمرتكم به فأتوا منه ما استطعتم
“Do what I order you with, to the best if your ability.”
Therefore if he is not able to make ablution or tayamum then he prays in his state that he's in and he should never leave off the prayer. Should he repeat? (the prayer) the answer is “no”, this is his obligation.
He says (the questioner) “If he has a wet dream in this state of praying without wudhu or tayamum, does he carry on praying or does he stop until he is cured because he can't wash or make tayamum because of his condition”?
The ruling is one, so if he were to have a wet dream or have intercourse with his family if he is married and became upon major impurity so in this case it is not possible for him to wash or make tayamum so therefore it is permissible for him to pray in the state he is in. As for saying that it is not permissible for him to have intercourse with his wife and he knows the he is on this state then no. This is from burdening that which one is not capable of, rather if he becomes upon major impurity by way of having a wet dream or other than that and it's not possible for him to wash or make tayamum then he prays in the state that he is in and he should never leave off the prayer or postpone it and he is not required to re-do his prayers.
And Allah knows best

Is it permissible for him to pray without ablution and is his prayer correct, or is it upon him to wait until he is cured from this illness, with the knowledge that he has been praying these day’s without ablution or tayamum?
📤 Answer:
The answer is [Allah says in the Quran]
{فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ}
"Fear Allah as much as you are able."
{لَا یُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ}
"Allah does not burden a person beyond his scope."
[The Prophet ﷺ said]
ما أمرتكم به فأتوا منه ما استطعتم
“Do what I order you with, to the best if your ability.”
Therefore if he is not able to make ablution or tayamum then he prays in his state that he's in and he should never leave off the prayer. Should he repeat? (the prayer) the answer is “no”, this is his obligation.
He says (the questioner) “If he has a wet dream in this state of praying without wudhu or tayamum, does he carry on praying or does he stop until he is cured because he can't wash or make tayamum because of his condition”?
The ruling is one, so if he were to have a wet dream or have intercourse with his family if he is married and became upon major impurity so in this case it is not possible for him to wash or make tayamum so therefore it is permissible for him to pray in the state he is in. As for saying that it is not permissible for him to have intercourse with his wife and he knows the he is on this state then no. This is from burdening that which one is not capable of, rather if he becomes upon major impurity by way of having a wet dream or other than that and it's not possible for him to wash or make tayamum then he prays in the state that he is in and he should never leave off the prayer or postpone it and he is not required to re-do his prayers.
And Allah knows best

Is it permissible for a man to leave his family in one country and his kids in another in order that they learn they're religion while he stays in America. For example he calls to Allah in America.

▪️ Living in the Lands of Disbelief and Entering One's Children into their Free Mixing Schools▪️
Our Shaykh, Abū Abdillah Muhammad bā Jamāl (May Allah preserve him) was asked:
📥 Question:
This is a question from Ghana. We live in the land of the disbelievers where the disbelievers do not spare any opportunity to turn us and especially our children away from the mannerisms and principles of our religion.
They make it mandatory upon them to change their Islamic mode of dress, intermingle with the opposite genders in class which has lead to the severe decline of their Islamic moral character and widespread calamity upon their Islamic creed and practices.
Inspite of all of this, some who portray themselves as Islamic teachers in our land argue that;
1. It is a case of necessity for the children to attend these schools since we are not in the land of Islaam,
2. It is obligatory upon them to learn their handy work to enable them to be responsible to their family in the future without resorting to depending upon the people, so it's lesser of the two evils.
What is your advice for the parents specifically and the Muslims generally regarding this matter? We ask Allaah for success for us and you.
📤 Answer:
Living in the lands of the disbelievers is a major offense upon the Muslims and mixing with them is an even worse mistake, especially upon the children, those young in age from the males and the females. They are mixing with the disbelievers and those who's religion is in question. As they don't possess the ability to distinguish between people of faith (Emaan). And this is the reason evil and indecency prevail. So it is obligatory upon those Muslims to fear Allah. And not to mix with the disbelievers and not to enter their children into these free mixing schools. Because this will corrupt the beliefs and manners of the children. Likewise, wasting their religion and placing them into filth and immorality while distancing them from morality and righteousness.
So what is required is hating the disbelievers and distancing oneself from them. Allah the Most-High says in His Noble book:
{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاء}
That which translates to:
"O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies" [Al-Mumtahanah:1]
And He the Most-Lofty says:
{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ آبَاءكُمْ وَإِخْوَانَكُمْ أَوْلِيَاء إَنِ اسْتَحَبُّواْ الْكُفْرَ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ}
That which translates to:
"O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers." [Taubah:23]
And when He the Most-Wise said:
{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ}
That which translates to:
"O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people." [Maidah:51]
The disbelievers are eager to hinder the Muslims from their religion.
As Allah the Most-High says:
{وَدُّواْ لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُواْ فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَاء}
That which translates to:
"They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike." [Nisa:89]
And His statement:
{وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُم مِّن بَعْدِ إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّاراً حَسَداً}
That which translates to:
"Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves." [Baqarah:109]
I warn you all from the disbelievers.
