الكنز الثمين في الإجابة على أسئلة طلبة العلم والزائرين (4)

Under: قضايا الاجتماعية

Entitled: صفة المرأة الصالحة

Imam Ibn Al Uthaymeen said:

قال الشيخ ابن عثيمين رحمه الله تعالى:

“لقد خاب قوم تهاونوا بصلاتهم حتى ثقلت عليهم فأشبهوا بذلك المنافقين،

Indeed a people whom were negligent in regards to their prayers were put to loss/deprived until the prayer became heavy upon them and thus they resembled in that the hypocrites.

تجد أحدهم تحبسه الحاجة الدنيوية ساعة أو ساعتين أو أكثر من ذلك، ولو كانت قليلة وزهيدة،

You will find that one of them will be occupied by a worldly need and it may hold him back for an hour or two or even more than that, even if it be small or worthless.

ولا يستطيع أن يصبر عُشْر هذا الزمن للصلاة المكتوبة، الصلاة عنده أثقل من الجبال،

And he isn’t able to be patient for a tenth of this time for the prescribed prayer. The prayer to him is heavier than the mountains.

وتنعيم بدنه واتباع لذاته عنده هو رأس المال، فما أعظم خسارته، وما أطول ندمه عند أخذ الكتب باليمين
وبالشمال.”

The comfort of his body and following its pleasures to him is the capital, thus how great is his loss and how long his regret will be when taking the books with either the right or left (hand).

[الضياء اللامع: ١٣٦/١]

Shaykh Al Uthaymeen said:

If you find prayer heavy upon you, even if it be a voluntary (prayer), then known that there is hypocrisy in your heart because this is the affair of the hypocrites whom Allah said in regards to

وإذا قاموا إلى الصلاة قاموا كسالى

“And when they stand up for As-Salat (the prayer), they stand with laziness”

[4:142]

And if you find in your heart (that it is) light upon you and a means of rejoice, then know that this is proof upon the strength of your Imaan

"This is a warning of punishment for something many people consider trivial..."

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-'Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"And lying is from the impermissible affairs, rather some scholars stated: lying is a major sin because the Prophet ﷺ forewarned the liar he is eventually recorded as a liar with Allaah.

Among the most outrageous form of lying is what some people commit nowadays; telling a lie deliberately for nothing but to make people laugh. There is a Hadeeth that warns against this type of lying. The Prophet ﷺ said:

وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ فَيَكْذِبُ لِيُضْحِكَ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ وَيْلٌ لَهُ وَيْلٌ لَهُ.

Woe to the one who speaks and lies in order to make people laugh thereby. Woe to him! Woe to him!

(Sunan Abee Daawud, No. 4990. Graded 'hasan' by Shaykh Al-Albaanee, may Allaah have mercy upon him)

This is a warning of punishment for something many people consider trivial. Hence, all forms of lying are forbidden and all of them cause disobedience with no exceptions. However, there is a Hadeeth that excludes three forms of lying; in war, reconciling between people, and communication between married couples (see Saheeh Muslim, No. 2605)."

◾Advice to our Salafi brothers and sisters to keep firm◾️


Our Shaykh, Al Hāfidh, Abū 'Amr 'Abdulkareem Al-Hajoori - may Allah preserve him - was asked:

📩 Question:

We seek advice for a salafi women. Her family members wish that she leaves her Istiqāmā (steadfastness/uprightness/salafiyyah). So what do you advise?

📝 Answer:

It is not permissible for her to obey them in this desire of theirs. Obedience is only in righteousness.

As the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned in the hadīth of Alī (may Allah be pleased with him):

(Obediance is required only in what is good)

Allāh (ﷻ) said:

[But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but behave with them in the world kindly]
(31:15)

So companionship with ones parents is in righteousness, and obediance to them is in that which is good, and kindness to them in other than the disobedience of Allah.

So it is upon us to be steadfast.

[Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained]
(74:38)

Every individual will be held accountable for their actions by oneself (a day when there is no interpreter between a person and Allāh). So it is not permissible to obey them in the disobediance of Allāh.

◾Attending Lectures of the People of Deviation◾️

Our Shaykh, Al Hāfidh, Abū 'Amr 'Abdulkareem Al-Hajoori - may Allah preserve him - was asked:

📩 Question:

Is it permissible for a Sunni Salafi to attend the sermons and lectures of the Hizbis?

📝 Answer:

It is not permissible for a Salafi nor a lay man. It is not permissible to attend [places of] falsehood.

"The example of a good companion (who sits with you) in comparison with a bad one, is I like that of the musk seller and the blacksmith's bellows (or furnace)"

By Allāh, it is far better for you to accompany the blacksmith and he burns you or your clothes, than for you to sit with a person of innovation, for they have placed poison in their honey.

If you were to go to any innovator, would you find him proclaiming:

"I am an innovator! I call to innovation and I am upon misguidance."?

The affair is not like this, rather they will say " We do not want except good" (and other misleading speech).

So, do not feel safe from the dangers of sitting with the people of falsehood.

Abandoning The Prayer Is Disbelief

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ يَرَوْنَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ تَرْكُهُ كُفْرٌ غَيْرَ الصَّلاَةِ

The noble Taabi'ee 'Abdullaah Ibn Shaqeeq Al-'Uqaylee, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"The companions of Muhammad ﷺ didn't consider abandonment of anything from the actions to be disbelief, except [the abandonment of] the prayer."

Someone asked a good question regarding wasilah, tawassul & shafaa'ah...

I will answer with some short digestible posts and conclude with a direct call to action:

Post 1:

Waseelah (وَسِيلَةٌ) is anything that draws you closer to Allāh, i.e. the good deed itself

Tawassul (تَوَسُّلٌ) is DOING that which will draw you closer to Allāh, i.e. tawassul is actualising waseelah.

Let's give an example:

A man gets a migraine due to his in-laws meddling with his marriage, as a result he raises his hands and begs Allāh for patience and an easy way out. (end of example)

In this example, the du'a itself is waseelah while the act of him making du'a is tawassul.

▪️Summarised from ⤵️
https://binbaz.org.sa/fatwas/16157/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%82-%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%84-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%84%D8%A9

Post 2:

Tawassul is divided into two types:

1. Prescribed - مَشْرُوعٌ
2. Prohibited - مَمْنُوعٌ

Prescribed Tawassul is subdivided into three types:

(1) - Tawassul through Allāh's beautiful Names and Attributes.

The evidence for this is the saying of Allāh ﷻ:
{وَلِله ٱلۡأَسۡمَاۤءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ فَٱدۡعُوهُ بِهَا}
"To Allāh belong the Most Beautiful Names, so call on Him by them." [Sūrat Al-A'rāf 180]

(2) - Tawassul through one's own good deeds.

The evidence for this is the saying of Allāh ﷻ:
{رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا ۚ رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الْأَبْرَارِ}

"Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one (Muḥammad ﷺ) calling to Faith: ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrâr (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism)." [Sūrat Āli-'Imrān 193]

Point of evidence: they sought nearness to Allāh through their ēmān/belief (which is a good deed); as though to say, Our Lord! We have indeed believed, and because of our ēmān, we request that You forgive us our sins and save us from the punishment of the Fire.

Likewise, another proof is the ḥadīth of ibn 'Umar, reported by Bukhāri, concerning the three trapped in the cave; all three invoked Allāh seeking nearness to Him through their (own) good deeds.
Read the full ḥadīth here: ⤵️
https://sunnah.com/bukhari/60/132

(3) - Tawassul through the supplication of a righteous individual who is alive and present.

The evidence for this is the ḥadīth of Anas, reported by Bukhāri; that whenever drought threatened them, ‘Umar Ibnul Khaṭṭāb, used to ask Al-Abbās ibn ‘Abdil Muṭṭalib to invoke Allāh for rain. And he used to say:

"اللهم إنا كنا نستسقي إليك بنبينا فتسقينا، وإنا نتوسل إليك بعم نبينا فاسقنا"

“O Allāh! We used to ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allāh! Bless us with rain.” And so it would rain.

NOTE:
It is major Shirk to request supplication from the dead, those who are absent, or to ask anyone for anything that is only sought from Allāh!

These are the legislated forms of Tawassul, and aside from these three, all other types of Tawassul are acts of innovation for which Allāh has sent down no authority.

An example of a prohibited form of Tawassul is seeking nearness to Allāh through the status/rank/personality of the Prophets and righteous, like one's saying: “O Allāh! I ask you in the name of so and so,” or "...by the right/status of so and so."

This is not allowed! It is an innovation! And some scholars even consider this to be an act of minor shirk.

The prophet ﷺ said in the ḥadīth of 'Ā'ishah, reported by Bukhāri and Muslim:

((من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد))

''Whoever introduces into this affair [religion] of ours that which is not from it will have it rejected."

And in the wording of Muslim, he ﷺ said:

((من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد))

"Whoever performs an action that is not from our affair [religion] will have it rejected."

Post 3:

What is Shafā‘ah?

Sheikh Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

“Shafā‘ah, linguistically, is to make something even (شْفْعٌ), and technically, it is to intercede on behalf of someone else in order to bring about good or ward away harm. And its link to its derivation is obvious; because if you intercede for someone, your plea along with theirs means the number of pleaders is now even.”

[Al-Wāsiṭiyyah 523]

Post 4.

Shafā‘ah may relate to:

1. worldly matters
Or
2. The Hereafter

The worldly concept of Shafā‘ah is when a person intercedes on behalf of another for some worldly benefit or gain, and this is permitted under two conditions:

1. The desired goal is permissible in and of itself

2. The intercession must not take away the right of others unjustly

This worldly type of Shafā‘ah is included in the statement of Allāh:

{من یَشۡفَعۡ شَفَـٰعَةً حَسَنَةࣰ یَكُن لَّهُۥ نَصِیبࣱ مِّنۡهَاۖ وَمَن یَشۡفَعۡ شَفَـٰعَةࣰ سَیِّئَةࣰ یَكُن لَّهُۥ كِفۡلࣱ مِّنۡهَا}

“Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a share in the reward, and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in the burden.”
[Surah An-Nisa' 85]

Note:
Our discussion will focus on the the 2nd type of Shafā‘ah; that which relates to the Hereafter.

Ibn al-Qayyim

“When there is money in your hand but not in your heart, it cannot harm you; even if it is alot, and when it is in your heart, it will harm you even if there is none in your hands.”

[Madaarij as-Salikeen | 1/463]
