Happy New Year?

Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah:

"Congratulating the kuffaar on the rituals that belong only to them is haraam by consensus, as is congratulating them on their festivals and fasts by saying ‘A happy festival to you’ or ‘May you enjoy your festival,’ and so on. If the one who says this has been saved from kufr, it is still forbidden. It is like congratulating someone for prostrating to the cross, or even worse than that. It is as great a sin as congratulating someone for drinking wine, or murdering someone, or having illicit sexual relations, and so on. Many of those who have no respect for their religion fall into this error; they do not realize the offensiveness of their actions. Whoever congratulates a person for his disobedience or bid’ah or kufr exposes himself to the wrath and anger of Allaah."

"Congratulating the kuffaar on their religious festivals is haraam to the extent described by Ibn al-Qayyim because it implies that one accepts or approves of their rituals of kufr, even if one would not accept those things for oneself. But the Muslim should not aceept the rituals of kufr or congratulate anyone else for them, because Allaah does not accept any of that at all, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

'If you disbelieve, then verily, Allaah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. . .'

[Az-Zumar 39:7]

'. . . This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islaam as your religion . . .'

[Al-Maa’idah 5:3]


So congratulating them is forbidden, whether they are one’s colleagues at work or otherwise. If they greet us on the occasion of their festivals, we should not respond, because these are not our festivals, and because they are not festivals which are acceptable to Allaah. These festivals are innovations in their religions, and even those which may have been prescribed formerly have been abrogated by the religion of Islaam, with which Allaah sent Muhammad (salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) to the whole of mankind. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

'Whoever seeks a religion other than Islaam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.'

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]


It is haraam for a Muslim to accept invitations on such occasions, because this is worse than congratulating them as it implies taking part in their celebrations.
Similarly, Muslims are forbidden to imitate the kuffaar by having parties on such occasions, or exchanging gifts, or giving out sweets or food, or taking time off work, etc., because the Prophet (salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:


'Whoever imitates a people is one of them.'

Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said in his book Iqtidaa’ al-siraat al-mustaqeem mukhaalifat ashaab al-jaheem:

'Imitating them in some of their festivals implies that one is pleased with their false beliefs and practices, and gives them the hope that they may have the opportunity to humiliate and mislead the weak.'

Whoever does anything of this sort is a sinner, whether he does it out of politeness or to be friendly, or because he is too shy to refuse, or for whatever other reason, because this is hypocrisy in Islaam, and because it makes the kuffaar feel proud of their religion. Allaah is the One Whom we ask to make the Muslims feel proud of their religion, to help them adhere steadfastly to it, and to make them victorious over their enemies, for He is the Strong and Omnipotent."

[Majmoo’ah Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 3/369]

CONCLUSION:
It is not permissible for women to intentionally gaze at the opposite gender, even without lust.

Due to the following:

1⃣. Allāh’s statement:
﴿وَإِذَا سَأَلۡتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَـٰعࣰا فَسۡـَٔلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَاۤءِ حِجَابࣲۚ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكُمۡ أَطۡهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمۡ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ﴾
“When you ask his wives for something, do so from behind a screen: this is purer both for your hearts and for theirs.” [Sūrah Al-Aḥzāb: 53]
• This Āyah shows that the sickness of the heart effects both men and women
• Thus, prevention is better than cure.

2⃣. The evidences which command with lowering the gaze are general and are applicable to both men and women. For example, after commanding men to lower their gaze, Allāh continues to say:
﴿وَقُل لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ یَغۡضُضۡنَ مِنۡ أَبۡصَـٰرِهِنَّ وَیَحۡفَظۡنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ﴾
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity.” [Sūrah An-Nūr: 31]

3⃣. If we apply the evidences to prohibit men from gazing at women in the general sense, without limiting this to lustful gazes, then the same has to be said in the case of women.

4⃣. This condition of lust has not been mentioned in the evidences, nor was this known from the practice of the Salaf. It is mere ijtihad from some of the scholars. So how can this be used as conclusive evidence?!

5⃣. The evidences cited by the other side are not explicit in supporting their view, rather they have to be interpreted as such. And these same evidences can be interpreted otherwise.

6⃣. The evidences which command with lowering the gaze are definitive/conclusive, whereas the evidences used to allow them to gaze at the opposite gender are inconclusive.

7⃣. The Fitnah in this era is far worse that it has ever been, and so the principle of سد الذرائع (blocking the pathways to evil) is more applicable!

8⃣. Fitnah commonly arises from gazing, even if the initial gaze was not accompanied by lust.

9⃣. Shaytan flows in the children of Adam without discriminating between male and female

🔟. Women have a stronger sexual drive, so it's more incumbent upon them to lower their gaze.

....
Read the book for more.

FINAL ADVICE:
O Salafi sister, your thirst for knowledge should not be quenched by watching videos of ustadhs online, for indeed your shyness will diminish, slowly but surely, by gazing at the opposite gender.

فائدة طيبة: A Good benefit

سماحة الشيخ عبد العزيز بن باز رحمه الله:
His Eminence, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz may Allah have mercy on him (said):

دعاء الركوب إنما يستحب عند ركوب العبد للدابة، أو السيارة، أو الطائرة، أو الباخرة أو غيرها لقصد السفر.

The supplication for boarding (riding beasts & vehicles) is ONLY recommended if the servant boards a riding beast, car, plane, ship, etc., FOR THE SAKE OF TRAVELLING.

أما الركوب العادي في البلد أو في المصعد فلا أعلم في الأدلة الشرعية ما يدل على شرعية قراءة دعاء السفر.

As for boarding (them) normally within the country (of residence) or going in the elevator, then I do not know of any evidence that indicates the legitimacy of reciting the supplication of travel.

ومعلوم عند أهل العلم أن العبادات كلها توقيفية، لا يشرع منها إلا ما دل عليه الدليل من الكتاب أو السنة أو الإجماع الصحيح.

And it is known amongst the people of knowledge that all acts of worship are Tawqifiyyah (evidence based); so nothing is prescribed except what is proven by evidence from the Qur’an, Sunnah or true consensus.

Salaat Ar-Raghi’ib

This prayer is offered between Maghrib and ’Isha on the first Friday night in Rajab, and is preceded by fasting on the first Thursday of Rajab.

An-Nawawi -𝗆𝖺𝗒 𝖠𝗅𝗅𝖺𝗁 𝗁𝖺𝗏𝖾 𝗆𝖾𝗋𝖼𝗒 𝗎𝗉𝗈𝗇 𝗁𝗂𝗆- 𝗌𝖺𝗂𝖽:

“The prayer which is known as Salaat Ar-Ragha'ib, which is twelve rakahs that are offered between Maghrib and ‘Isha’ on the night of the first Friday in Rajab, and praying one hundred rakahs on the night of Nusf Shabaan (halfway through Islamic month Sha'aban) are both reprehensible innovations. No one should be deceived by the fact that they are mentioned in Qoot al-Quloob and Ihya’ ‘Uloom al-Deen, or by the hadeeth which is quoted in these two books, because all of that is false. No one should be deceived by some of those Imaams who were confused about the ruling on these prayers and wrote essays stating that they are mustahabb (recommended), for they are mistaken in that. Imaam Abu Muhammad ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Isma’eel al-Maqdisi wrote a valuable book showing that they are false, and he did well in that, may Allah have mercy on him”.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗮𝗷𝗮𝗯:

1⃣. Offering sacrifice specifically in this month

Abu Hurairah raḍhiyallāhu anhu narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “No Far’. No ‘Ateerah.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

Both were types of sacrifices offered by the Mushriks to their false deities; Far’ being the first child of the cattle and ’Ateerah being the sacrifice offered specifically in the month of Rajab.

So those who slaughter in the month of Rajab specifically are imitating the Mushriks and disobeying the command of the Prophet ﷺ.

2⃣. Salaat Ar-Raghā’ib

This prayer is offered between Maghrib and ’Isha on the first Friday night in Rajab, and is preceded by fasting on the first Thursday of Rajab.

An-Nawawi rahimahullāh said:
“The prayer which is known as Salaat Ar-Raghā'ib, which is twelve rakahs that are offered between Maghrib and ‘Isha’ on the night of the first Friday in Rajab, and praying one hundred rakahs on the night of Nusf Shabaan (halfway through Islamic month Shabaan) are both reprehensible innovations. No one should be deceived by the fact that they are mentioned in Qoot al-Quloob and Ihya’ ‘Uloom al-Deen, or by the hadeeth which is quoted in these two books, because all of that is false. No one should be deceived by some of those Imaams who were confused about the ruling on these prayers and wrote essays stating that they are mustahabb (recommended), for they are mistaken in that. Imaam Abu Muhammad ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Isma’eel al-Maqdisi wrote a valuable book showing that they are false, and he did well in that, may Allaah have mercy on him”. [Al-Majmoo’ (3/548)]

3⃣. Fasting the entire month or most of it

People fast throughout Rajab even though fasting in Rajab is like fasting in any other month.

‘Umar raḍhiyallāhu anhu used to hit the hands of those who fasted in Rajab until they reached out for food, and he would say, This is a month which was venerated in Jāhiliyyah. [Authenticated by Sheikh Albāni in Al-Irwaa’, 957]

4⃣. Celebrating Israa' wal Mi'raaj (the night journey)

This innovation takes place on the 27th night of Rajab. There is no authentic proof that Isra’ wal Mi’raaj happened on this date according to many scholars. And even if it was proven, there is no excuse for holding celebrations on this date, because this was not reported from the Prophet ﷺ, nor was it a practice of his companions, may Allaah be pleased with them all. If it was a good thing, they would have surely preceded us.

5⃣. Visiting graves specifically in this month

Many people visit graves in Rajab with the belief that it has a good affect on the inhabitants and that it carries a greater reward, but there is nothing to prove this.

6⃣. Performing ’Umrah (known as Ar-Rajabiyyah) specifically during this month

The Prophet ﷺ never performed ‘Umrah during Rajab even though he performed ‘Umrah four times.

Sheikh Muḥammad Ibrāhīm (former Grand Mufti) said in his Fatāwā:
“As for singling out some of the days of Rajab for any kind of good deed, ziyaarah (visiting the House of Allaah, the Ka'bah) or anything else, there is no basis for this, because Imām Abū Shāmah stated in his book Al-Bida wal Ḥawādith: specifying acts of worship at times that were not specified by Shar’iah is wrong; no time is to be regarded as better than any other except in cases where the Shar’iah has given preference to a certain act of worship at a certain time, or stated that any good deed done at this time is better than good deeds done at other times. Hence the scholars denounced the practice of singling out the month of Rajab for doing ’Umrah frequently.”

She Is Never Closer To Allaah Than When...

The Prophet ﷺ:

"The woman is 'awrah, and if she goes out, the shaytaan raises his hopes (of misguiding her). She is never closer to Allaah than when she stays in her house."

The Vocal Devil & The Voiceless Devil

الساكت عن الحق شيطان أخرس، والناطق بالباطل شيطان ناطق

"The one who is silent about the truth is a voiceless devil, and the one who speaks falsehood is a vocal devil."

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

“This was a statement from some of the Salaf. It is not a hadeeth from the Prophet ﷺ. Rather, it was said by some scholars. They said: 'The one who is silent about the truth is a voiceless devil, and the one who speaks falsehood is a vocal devil.' Thus the one who speaks and calls to falsehood is one of the vocal devils, and the one who remains silent about the truth despite his ability [to speak the truth], who does not enjoin good nor forbid evil, who does not change what requires changing [of evil] and remains silent even though he is able to speak; it is said about him: a voiceless devil; from the human devils...”
