Obedience To The Muslim Ruler Is Obedience To Allaah, And Disobedience To The Muslim Ruler Is Disobedience To Allaah

عن أَبَي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‌‏ نَحْنُ الآخِرُونَ السَّابِقُونَ ‏"‌‏.‏ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ، وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ، وَمَنْ يُطِعِ الأَمِيرَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي، وَمَنْ يَعْصِ الأَمِيرَ فَقَدْ عَصَانِي، وَإِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ، فَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَعَدَلَ، فَإِنَّ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَجْرًا، وَإِنْ قَالَ بِغَيْرِهِ، فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ ‏"‌‏.‏"

(Translated meaning)

Narrated by Abuu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him: That he heard Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "We are the last (nation) but will be the foremost (to enter Paradise)." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "He who obeys me, obeys Allaah, and he who disobeys me, disobeys Allaah. He who obeys the chief, obeys me, and he who disobeys the chief, disobeys me. The Imaam is like a shelter for whose safety the Muslims should fight and where they should seek protection. If the Imaam orders people with righteousness and rules justly, then he will be rewarded for that, and if he does the opposite, he will be responsible for that."

[Agreed upon by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim.
The Wording is from Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree, No. 2956]

Imaam Ash-Shawkaanee, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"This Hadeeth is a proof that obedience to a ruler is obedience to him (the Messenger) صلى الله عليه وسلم and obedience to him (the ruler) is also obedience to Allaah. Likewise, disobedience to him (the ruler) is disobedience to Allaah and his Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. We've already preceded with the evident proofs that point towards the obligation of being obedient to the rulers and those in authority over you, and the Quraan has clearly highlighted this as Allaah, the Most High states:


يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا

(Interpretation of the meaning)

"O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger, and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger if you believe in Allaah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination."

[Al-Quraan 4:59]

▪️ Establishing Jumu'ah twice in the same masjid due to size?▪️


📝🔹Question:

May Allah preserve you, there is a masjid in London that perform the Friday prayer twice, the imaam delivers the friday sermon and then prays with the people who then leave and another set of people then enter where he repeats this for a second time. What is the ruling of this despite knowing the masjid is small in size?

📩🔸Answer:

This action is incorrect, and that which is correct is that only one jumu'ah should be established in the masjid, and if it becomes full then the people should pray outside it or go to another masjid.

📍Benefit!:

هل صلاة الجماعة الثانية صحيحة؟

I then asked the sheikh, is the prayer of the second set of people correct ?

The Answer:

"غير صحيحة لأنه عمل محدث"
Their prayer is incorrect due to the action being from the newly invented affairs.

Benefits Of Sleeping In A State Of Wudhuu

Hadeeth 1:

عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
‌‏ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلاَةِ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ، ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ، اللَّهُمَّ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ‏.‏ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ فَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، وَاجْعَلْهُنَّ آخِرَ مَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ‏"‌‏.‏ قَالَ فَرَدَّدْتُهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ ‏"‌‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَرَسُولِكَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ ‏"‌‏.‏

(Translated meaning)

Narrated Al-Baraa Ibn `Aazib, may Allaah be pleased with him: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me,

"Whenever you go to bed, perform ablution like that for the prayer, lie on your right side and say,

(اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ، اللَّهُمَّ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ‏)

Allaahumma aslamtu wajhee ilayka, wa fawwadhtu amree ilayka, wa alja'tu thahree ilayka, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka. Laa Malja'a wa laa manjaa minka illaa ilayka. Allaahumma aamantu bi-kitaabika al-lathee anzalta, wa bi-nabiyyika al-lathee arsalta.

Then if you die on that very night, you will die with faith (i.e. on the religion of Islaam). Let the aforesaid words be your last utterance (before sleep)." I repeated it before the Prophet (ﷺ) and when I reached 'Allaahumma aamantu bi-kitaabika al-lathee anzalta' (O Allaah I believe in Your Book which You have revealed), I said, 'Wa rasuulika' (and your Messenger). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, (but say): 'wa nabiyyika al-lathee arsalta' (Your Prophet whom You have sent), instead."

[Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree]

(Meaning of the supplication)

(O Allaah! I surrender to You, entrust all my affairs to You, and depend upon You for Your blessings both with hope and fear of You. There is no fleeing from You, and there is no place of protection and safety except with You. O Allaah! I believe in Your Book (the Quraan) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad ﷺ) whom You have sent).

Ibn Hajr, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said about this Hadeeth:

"The apparent meaning is that it is mustahab (recommended) for everyone who wants to go to sleep to renew his wudhuu."

[Fathul-Baaree]

Hadeeth 2:

الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
‌‏ إِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ وَاجْعَلْهُنَّ مِنْ آخِرِ كَلاَمِكَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ مُتَّ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَرَدَّدْتُهُنَّ لأَسْتَذْكِرَهُنَّ فَقُلْتُ آمَنْتُ بِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ قَالَ ‏"‏ قُلْ آمَنْتُ بِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

(Translated meaning)

Al-Baraa Ibn 'Aazib, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

"When you go to bed, perform ablution as is done for prayer; then lie down on the right side and recite:

(اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ)

Allaahumma innee aslamtu wajhee ilayka, wa fawwadhtu amree ilayka, wa alja'tu thahree ilayka, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka. Laa Malja'a wa laa manjaa minka illaa ilayka. Aamantu bi-kitaabika al-lathee anz

alta, wa bi-nabiyyika al-lathee arsalta.

Make this as the last word of yours (when you go to sleep) and in case you die during that night, you would die upon fitrah (upon Islaam)." As I repeated these words in order to commit them to memory, I said: "Aamantu bi rasuulika al-lathee arsalta (I affirm my faith in Your Messenger (Rasuul) whom You sent)." He said: "Say: 'Aamantu bi-nabiyyika al-lathee arsalta (I affirm my faith in your Prophet (Nabi) whom You sent).'"

[Saheeh Muslim]

(Meaning of the supplication)

(O Allaah! I surrender to You, entrust all my affairs to You, and depend upon You for Your blessings both with hope and fear of You. There is no fleeing from You, and there is no place of protection and safety except with You. I believe in Your Book (the Quraan) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad ﷺ) whom You have sent).

An-Nawawee, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"If a person has wudhuu, that is sufficient for him because the intent is to go to sleep having wudhuu, incase he dies in his sleep, and so that the shaytaan will be less likely to play with him in his dreams and terrify him."

[Explanation Of Saheeh Muslim]

Hadeeth 3:

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مِنْ بَاتَ طَاهِرًا بَاتَ فِي شِعَارِهِ مَلَكٌ لَا يَسْتَيْقِظُ سَاعَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا قَالَ الْمَلَكُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِكَ فُلَانٍ فَإِنَّهُ بَاتَ طَاهِرًا

358 الدعوات الكبير للبيهقي
2539 المحدث الألباني خلاصة حكم المحدث إسناده حسن في السلسلة الصحيحة

(Translated meaning)

Abuu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said, “Whoever retired for the night in a state of purity, an Angel will reside with him in his bed. He will not awaken for an hour in the night but that the Angel says: 'O Allaah, forgive this servant of yours, for he retired in a state of purity.'"

▪️Offering 4 voluntary units before 'Asr? ▪️

Our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Hizaam -may Allaah preserve him- was asked the following question:

📩 Question:

The questioner says: Is there any authentic hadeeth reports on praying four Rak'ahs before ‘Asr as well as four before Dhuhr?

📝 Answer:

Regarding four before ‘Asr, then the Hadeeth concerning this is not authentic; the most authentic report to have come in this regard is the narration of Ibn 'Umar, reported by Abu Dawud, that he ﷺ said :
((رحم الله امرأ صلى قبل العصر أربعا))
"May Allaah have mercy on a person who prays four Rakaat before ‘Asr"

However, this Hadeeth is Mu'all (defective); Ibn ‘Adi dismissed it in ‘Al-Kaamil’, and the hadeeth itself is not authenticate; it has been rejected from some of the narrators.

Our Shaykh, Shaykh Muqbil -may Allaah have mercy on him- included this Hadeeth in his 'Saheeh Al-Musnad'; perhaps he didn't come across it in Ibn 'Adi's 'Al-Kaamil', because our Shaykh -may Allaah have mercy upon him- would abandon any Hadeeth cited by Ibn 'Adi in 'Al-Kaamil' and would not include it in his book.

As for the four (voluntary) units before Dhuhr, then this is authentically established in 'Sahih Bukhari' on the authority of 'Aa'ishah -may Allaah be pleased with her- that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ would never leave off praying four units before Dhuhr and four after it.
There are other reports which also indicate this.

The 'Allaamah Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzan -may Allah preserve him- was asked:


▪Purchasing camera phones for children and the adolescent ▪

📩Question:-


Is it permissible for me as a parent to search through the mobile phone and computer of my children out of fear that it may contain something [unbefitting]?.



📝Answer:-

Yes, it is obligatory upon you to check and search through it, and like what I have previously mentioned don’t buy for them mobile phones which are used for more than making and receiving calls, [these phones] expose them to indecency, trials and impermissible things.
Do not purchase these devices for them.


📩 Question 2:-

Some of the people say that this action of the father falls under the prohibited spying, so do they have an angle [that is correct] in regards to this statement?

📝Answer:-

This type of speech is falsehood, the father has a duty in cultivating and protecting his children and to safeguard them, this is not from spying [rather] it is from establishing that which Allah obligated upon him. There are currently calamities taking place where by the people are saying,

‘’Don’t say nothing to your children nor your wife nor your daughters this is domestic abuse! Leave them to do as they please, they are free, don't involve yourself in their affairs; doing so is domestic abuse!’’

‎ولاحول ولا قوة إلابالله

There is no might or power except with Allah

They want the situation to be that nobody performs their obligations and for everyone to do as they please.

▪️A doubt surrounding free-mixing▪️


📝🔹Question:

What's the response to the one who says, free-mixing in the universities is permissible because it's the same as the mixing which takes place in markets, streets, transport systems, etc.

📩🔸Answer:

If this is what the Salaf understood from the texts, they would have (completely) prohibited free-mixing (outdoors) on the roads and on their travels just as they prohibited it in their own homes.

This is in fact a weak doubt.

There's a difference between one who knows for sure that he will be intermixing with women on an hourly, daily, monthly or yearly basis, voluntarily, and between one who is sometimes faced with this unexpectedly without him intending.
So reflect deeply over this.

▪️Islamic Banks?▪️

Our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Hizaam -may Allaah preserve him- was asked the following question:

📩 Question:

The questioner says: What is the ruling concerning these so-called 'Islamic Banks' which buy a house on your behalf for let's say fifty thousand dollars, then sell it back to you for eighty thousand?

📝 Answer:

This transaction is impermissible, because not only is it a ploy to get around Ribaa, it actually falls under a category from the categories of Ribaa.

The Prophet ﷺ forbade utilising ploys in order to commit Haraam, saying:
((لا ترتكبوا ما ارتكبت اليهود فتستحلوا ما حرم الله بأدنى الحيل))
"Do not do as the Jews did, making Halaal what Allaah has made Haraam utilising the lowest ploys." [Hadeeth Abu Hurayrah, reported by Ibn Battah]

So this bank, instead of loaning you fifty thousand and telling you to pay back eighty thousand (which is clear Ribaa), they have (utilised a ploy to get around that and have) said, we'll buy it, then sell it to you. And this itself is undoubtedly forbidden and falls under Ribaa, because they did not make this purchase except to sell it to you, which is why they set up a contract and got you to agree to it beforehand, such that you are compelled to purchase it from them. So they only bought it to profit from you.

Some of these banks may even sell it to you before actually making a purchase! So they agree a contract with you first, then go and buy it! So essentially, they've sold you something which they themselves do not own, and the prophet prohibited from selling something which you do not own, as well as profiting from something which you have not yet grasped and taken into your possession. Meanwhile, this bank has sold you something which they don't even own, let alone having taking it under their possession.

So aside from being a diversion to Ribaa, these types of transactions are in themselves Haraam. So anyone who says they are permissible, is greatly mistaken! He has made a grave mistake!

▪️A short opening supplication that all should memorise▪️

Our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Hizaam -may Allaah preserve him- was asked the following question:

📩 Question:

The questioner says: When does the one praying say the following words:
'اللهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ كَثِيرًا وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلاً'
"Allaah is truly Great, praise be to Allaah in abundance. Glory be to Allaah in the morning and the evening."

📝 Answer:

This is from the established supplications that's recited at the start of the prayer (after the opening Takbeer), as is reported in Saheeh Muslim on the authority of Ibn 'Umar -may Allaah be pleased with him- that a man recited this invocation so the prophet ﷺ said:
((عجبت لها فتحت لها أبواب السماء))
"It amazed me, for the gates of heaven were opened for It."
