Wiping the Face after the Du'ā?

Al-'Allāmah Muhammad Nāsirud-Dīn Al-Albany (May Allah Have Mercy Upon Him) said:

"Wiping the face after the Du'ā has no authentic origins in the Sunnah. [However] there has come (narrations) which are weak."

Imām Ibn Uthaymīn, may Allāh have mercy upon him, said:

"It is necessary for you to rid your heart of evil omens and pessimism, to always be optimistic, to always make the dunyā ahead of you vast, and to always make the path ahead of you open, for verily the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم would love الفأل (optimism) and hate evil omens."

Does A Woman Who Wears Hijaab Have To Cover Her Feet?

As for the ruling concerning a woman uncovering her feet in public in front of non-mahram men, then I’m unaware of much difference between the scholars regarding it being impermissible, and the basis for this verdict is the following narration:

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ مَنْ جَرَّ ثَوْبَهُ مِنَ الْخُيَلاَءِ لَمْ يَنْظُرِ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ النِّسَاءُ بِذُيُولِهِنَّ قَالَ ‏”‏ تُرْخِينَهُ شِبْرًا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ إِذًا تَنْكَشِفَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ تُرْخِينَهُ ذِرَاعًا لاَ تَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ‏”‌‏.‏

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever drags his garment out of pride, Allah will not look at him.’ Umm Salamah said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what should women do with their hems?’ He said: ‘Let it down a hand span.’ She said: ‘But then their feet will show.’ He said: ‘Let it down a forearm’s length, but no more than that.'” [Reported by at-Tirimidhi and others. As-Silsilah As-Saheehah (460)].

Ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaymeen rahimahullah, said,

“.. ففي هذا الحديث [رقم 4] دليل على وجوب ستر قدم المرأة وأنه أمر معلوم عند نساء الصحابة رضي الله عنهم”

“Therefore, in this hadith is a proof for the obligation for the women to cover their feet [in public] and also a proof that this was the common practice among the female companions.” End quote. [Treatise “Hijaab”, Hadith (#4)]

How Do We Welcome Ramadhaan

Shaykh Ibn-Baaz, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

I do not know of anything specific for welcoming Ramadhaan except that the Muslim receives it with happiness, cheerfulness, great pleasure and thankfulness that Allaah has brought Ramadhaan to him, as well as being thankful for making him from the successful whom He has allowed to live (during this month) and be from those who compete in righteous actions.

Indeed, witnessing a new Ramadhaan is an immense blessing from Allaah and due to this fact the Prophet ﷺ used to give glad tidings to his Companions at the commencement of Ramadhaan, exemplifying it's merits and what Allaah has prepared from the great rewards for those who fast and stand in prayer.

And it is legislated that the Muslim receives this noble month by making sincere repentance.

EXPLANATION OF THE
LĀMIYYAH OF IBN TAYMIYYAH
(https://t.me/madrasatuna)

LINE 10:

The author, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:

وَالْـمُـؤْمِـنُـونَ يَـرَوْنَ حَـقًّا رَبَّـهُـمْ 

And the Believers will see their Lord in truth

وَإِلَـى الـسَّـمَـاءِ بِـغَـيْـرِ كَـيْـفٍ يَـنْـزِلُ

And to the (lowest) heaven does He (Allāh) descend without (designating) a how

1. In this line, the author mentions two matters of Belief.

1st:

BELIEF 8:
ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇʀs ᴡɪʟʟ sᴇᴇ ᴀʟʟᴀ̄ʜ ᴠɪsᴜᴀʟʟʏ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴇʀᴇᴀғᴛᴇʀ

2nd:

BELIEF 9:
ᴀʟʟᴀ̄ʜ ᴅᴇsᴄᴇɴᴅᴇɴs ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴏᴡᴇsᴛ ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ ᴅᴜʀɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴀsᴛ ᴛʜɪʀᴅ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ɴɪɢʜᴛ ɪɴ ᴀ ᴍᴀɴɴᴇʀ ʙᴇғɪᴛᴛɪɴɢ ʜɪs ᴍᴀᴊᴇsᴛʏ

2. As for the first of these two matters of Belief; seeing Allāh in the Hereafter, then this affair is proven by the Qur'ān, the Sunnah, as well as the Ijmā' (consensus).

NOTE:
The word يَرَوْنَ is taken from رُؤْيَةٌ. And according to the Arabic language, this word (رُؤْيَةٌ) has two possible meanings:

1- النَّظَرُ بِالْعَيْنِ
Looking with the eyes

2- النَّظَرُ بِالْقَلْبِ
to envision something mentally
[Al-Qāmūs Al-Muḥīt]

And in this line, the author is referring to the first type of vision; looking with the eyes. He even emphasises this point when he says حَقًّا (in truth).

BENEFIT:
The believers will see Allāh on the day of Resurrection and in Paradise.
[At-Ta'līqāt Al-Ḥisān of Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'karī pg. 203]

NOTE:
There's a difference of opinion amongst Ahlus-Sunnah concerning the day of Resurrection; is it only the believers who will see Allāh on this day, or will everyone see Him?

1st opinion: everyone will see Allāh on this day.

2nd opinion: He will only be seen by the believers and those who manifested Islām outwardly; like the hypocrites.

3rd opinion: only the believers will see Him.

There is ample room for differing in this particular matter. However, rejecting the fact that Allāh will be seen in the Hereafter, in totality, this is what leads a person to be deemed an innovator (mubtadi').
[At-Ta'līqāt Al-Ḥisān of Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'karī pg. 203]

3. Here are some of the evidences affirming this Belief:

Evidences from the Qur'ān:

(1) Allāh ﷻ said:

{وُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ نَّاضِرَةٌ ۝ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةࣱ}

"Some faces that Day shall be (shining and radiant), looking at their Lord."
[Sūrat Al-Qiyāmah 22 - 23]

(2) Allāh ﷻ said:

{لَهُم مَّا یَشَاۤءُونَ فِیهَا وَلَدَیۡنَا مَزِیدࣱ}

"There they will have all that they desire, and We have more (for them)"
[Sūrat Qāf 35]

What is meant by "more" here is looking at Allāh, The All-Mighty, All-Majestic. [tafsīr Ibn Kathīr]

(3) Allāh ﷻ said:

{عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ}

"On thrones, looking".

The scholars of tafsīr explained that they will be allowed to look at Allāh as well as all the numerous blessings that Allāh prepared for them.

(4) Allāh ﷻ said:

{لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌ}

"For those who have done good is the best reward and even more."

The "best reward (Al-Ḥusnā)" refers to Paradise, and "even more (Az-Ziyādah)" refers to looking at Allāh, as proven from the ḥadīth of Ṣuhayb Ibn Sinān, coming shortly.

(5) Additionally, Allāh ﷻ said:

{كَلَّاۤ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ}

"Nay! Surely, they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day."
[Sūrat Al-Muṭaffifīn 15]

From the opposite/implied meaning of this Āyah, Imām Ash-Shāfi'ī derived that - if the evil doers are deprived from seeing their Lord as a punishment, that means the believers will be allowed to see Him as a reward. [tafsīr Ibn Kathīr]

Likewise, there are many evidences in the Sunnah affirming this Belief.

In fact, Ibn Kathīr, may Allāh have mercy on him, states:
"It has been established through authentic narrations that the believers will see Allāh in the Hereafter, and these narrations -according to the scholars of ḥadīth- are mutawātir, so it's impossible to deny or reject this fact."
[tafsīr Ibn Kathīr Āyah 23 of Sūratul Qiyāmah]

From these evidences:

(1) On the authority of Ṣuhayb Ibn Sinān, may Allāh be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

((إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ - قَالَ - يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: تُرِيدُونَ شَيْئًا أَزِيدُكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: أَلَمْ تُبَيِّضْ وُجُوهَنَا، أَلَمْ تُدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ، وَتُنَجِّنَا مِنَ النَّارِ - قَالَ - فَيَكْشِفُ الْحِجَابَ، فَمَا أُعْطُوا شَيْئًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.))

"When those deserving of Paradise would enter Paradise, the Blessed and the Exalted (Allāh) would ask: Do you wish Me to give you anything more? They would say: Have you not brightened our faces? Have you not made us enter Paradise and saved us from Fire? He (the narrator) said: He (Allāh) would then lift the veil, and of things given to them nothing would be dearer to them than the sight of their Lord, the Mighty and the Glorious. Then the Messenger of Allāh recited this Verse: 'For those who have done good is the best reward and even more'."
[Muslim 181]

(2) On the authority of 'Abdullāh ibn Jarīr, may Allāh be pleased with him, who said: "We were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he looked at the moon on the night of the full moon and said:

((إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا الْقَمَرَ لاَ تُضَامُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ))

"You will see your Lord as you see this full moon, and you will have no trouble in seeing Him."
[Bukhāri and Muslim]

NOTE:
The comparison in this ḥadīth is between looking at one thing and another - not the things being looked at, i.e. just as we clearly see the full moon at night, so too will the believers see their Lord in the Hereafter.

As for the Ijmā':

Ibnul Qayyim [D. 751 H], may Allāh have mercy on him, states:

«اتفق عليها الأنبياء والمرسلون، وجميع الصحابة والتابعون، وأئمة الإسلام على تتابع القرون»

"The Prophets and Messengers were agreed in this affair, as too were all the Ṣaḥābah and Tābi'ūn, as well as the great scholars of Islām in every century."
[Ḥādil-Arwāḥ pg. 326 - 380]

There are many more proofs in this regard, but the ones we have cited are the most explicit, and in them is great contentment for those who Allāh has granted success and guidance.

We suffice with this, and we ask Allāh to save us from His punishment and to bestow upon us the joy of looking at His Majestic Face
