Rights of children

What are the rights of wife, children on the man.

Praise be to Allaah.

1 – The wife’s rights:

These have been discussed in detail in the answer to question no. 10680

2 – The children’s rights.

Allaah has given children rights over their parents just as the parents have rights over their children.

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “Allaah has called them abraar (righteous) because they honoured (barru) their fathers and children. Just as your father has rights over you, so too your child has rights over you.

Al-Adab al-Mufrad, 94.

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, according to a hadeeth narrated by ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar,

“… and your child has rights over you.”

[Muslim, 1159].

Honouring a Faasiq

Khat by Hasan Celebi

RASULULLAH (SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM) said:

 "When a faasiq is praised, the Arsh of Allah shudders."

A faasiq is a flagrant violator of the Shariah. When such a person is praised or honoured, the Wrath of Allah Ta'ala descends. When even the magnificent Throne of Allah Ta'ala shudders, it will be easy to understand the gravity of the crime of honouring a faasiq. For this reason it is haraam to allow a beardless person, i.e. o­ne who shaves or cuts his beard, to lead the Salaat or become the Muath-thin or to be a Musjid/Madrasah trustee or to allow a beardless qaari the honour of the Musjid platform to recite to the musallis as was the case recently when a faasiq qaari from Egypt was honoured in many Musaajid of the country.

Ibn Mubaarak and the Barkat of Halaal Food

[caption id="attachment_966" align="alignleft" width="233" caption="Khat by Hasan Celebi"][/caption]

Most Muslims must have heard the name of the illustrious Saint, Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mubaarak (rahmatullah alayh). His father, Mubaarak, was the slave of the Qaadhi of the City of Ray. The piety of his slave had made an indelible impression o­n the Qaadhi who was a very wealthy and prominent member of the community. Inspite of high-ranking and elite members of the community proposing marriage for his daughter, the Qaadhi married his daughter to his slave, Mubaarak.

The Qaadhi Saheb too was a pious man, hence he made the decision to have his daughter married to his slave. Taqwa was the criterion for his decision. After the bride was delivered to her husband Mubaarak, the now freed slave, he did not consummate the marriage for forty days. Both he and his wife remained in Ibaadat for this period. Meanwhile Mubaarak ensured that he fed his wife with halaal tayyib food for forty days.

In Islam, why dogs are considered impure animal

In Islam, why dogs are considered impure animal?

All creatures are the creation of Allah Ta'ala and do deserve the recognition of being a creation of the Almighty. As much as Muslims detest even the sight of pigs - it is the creation of Allah Ta'ala - and because Allah has placed life into it, we cannot inflict pain nor torture the pig. Similarly Allah Ta'ala created the dog from among His creation. This does not mean that we should love the dog. It is perhaps the indoctrination of the Western culture that 'The dog is Man's best Friend'.

Ruling on making fun of the hijab

 

What is the ruling on one who makes fun of a woman who wears the correct Islamic hijaab and covers her face and hands?

Praise be to Allaah.

Whoever makes fun of a Muslim man or woman for adhering to the Islamic sharee’ah is

Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani: The Hadith of The Two Singing Girls In The House of The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم

[caption id="attachment_885" align="alignleft" width="192" caption="Kufi by Lutfi"][/caption]

By Ustadh Abdus Shakur

Imam al-Bukari narrated in his Sahih, in the chapter concerning The Two Eids , from ‘A’isha رضي الله عنها who said:

روى الإمام البخاري في صحيحه في كتاب العيدين, باب الحِراب والدَرَق يوم العيد, حديث رقم 949, عن عائشة قالت: دخل علىّ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وعندي جاريتان تغنّيان بغناء بُعاث فاضطجع على الفراش وحوّل وجهه, ودخل أبو بكر فانتهرني, وقال: مِزمار الشيطان عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم, فأقبل عليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم, فقال: دعْهما,فلما غفل غمزتهما,فخرجتا

The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم)came into my room when there where with me two girls who were singing/chanting [تغنّيان ] the songs [or poems] or Bi‘àth [the day of a great battle between the two Arab tribes of Medina before the advent of Islam]. He laid down on his mat and turned away his face and Abu Bakr came in and scolded me and said, “[What is this?] The sound of Satan in the presence of the Prophet( صلى الله عليه وسلم)!” He said [The Messenger of Allah"], “Leave them alone.” When he was not paying attention, I signaled to them and they went out.

Imam Muhammad Zahid al-Kauthari (1371 A.H; Cairo): Hijab & Western influence in Muslim Lands

Imam Muhammad Zahid al-Kauthari (1371 A.H; Cairo), formerly the Deputy Grand Mufti of the Ottoman Empire, explained in his article on “Hijab al-Mar’ah” ( “Women’s Hijab”, meaning to cover her body completely with loose clothing, not the modern misconception of the hijab as a “head scarf”):

Does he have to tell his second wife that he is married

I married a foreign woman after she became Muslim in a shar‘i marriage in accordance with the laws of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and I concealed from her the fact that I was married before. Is my marriage legitimate or do I have to tell her that I am married and that she is the second wife? Please note that I concealed this matter from her because the country in which we live does not allow plural marriage.

Ruling on singling out ‘Ashoora for fasting

Is it permissible to fast ‘Ashoora’ only without fasting the day before or the day after?
Praise be to Allaah.

Ibn Taymiyah said: Fasting the day of ‘Ashoora’ is expiation for one year, and it is not makrooh to single out this day for fasting. Al-Fataawa al-Kubra, part 5.

Yusuf Estes - Hijab and Beard

Wasiat Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. kepada Saidina Ali r.a.

Wahai Ali,
Bagi orang mukmin ada 3 tanda-tandanya
1) Tidak terpaut hatinya pada harta benda dunia
2) Tidak terpesona dengan pujuk rayu wanita
3) Benci terhadap perbualan dan perkataan sia-sia

Wahai Ali,
Bagi orang alim itu ada 3 tanda-tandanya

Menghormati Azan

Diriwayatkan sebuah hadith yang bermaksud:

"Hendaklah kamu mendiamkan diri ketika azan, jika tidak Allah akan kelukan lidahnya ketika maut menghampirinya."

Diriwayatkan bahawa Siti Zubaidah adalah seorang wanita bangsawan yang kaya, hobinya suka mendengar muzik. Dia memiliki pentasnya sendiri serta beberapa orang penyanyi yang menjadi penghiburnya. Apa yang menjadi kelebihannya ialah apabila terdengar saja seruan Azan dia akan segera memerintahkan penyanyi dan pemuziknya itu berhenti untuk seketika bagi menghormati azan. Setelah selesai dan menjawab azan barulah disambung semula, hanya itulah amalan yang sentiasa dijaganya.

Qasim ibn Utsman Al-Ju’I (Wafat 248 H)

[caption id="attachment_829" align="alignleft" width="240" caption="Kufi by Lutfi"][/caption]

Al-Jui adalah seorang wali besar dari Damaskus yang belajar hadits dari Sufyan ibn Uyainah. Ibn Al-Jauzi dalam Shifat al-Shafwah dari Al-Ju’I sendiri bahwa julukan Al-Ju’I (yang kelaparan) didapatkan karena Allah memberinya kekuatan untuk melawan rasa lapar jasmani melalui rasa lapar rohani. Ia mengatakan, “Meski perut ini tak diisi makanan selama satu bulan, aku tak akan peduli. Ya Allah, inilah yang telah Engkau perlakukan kepada diriku maka sempurnakanlah ia bagiku!”

Perjalanan Syaikh Abu Hatam rah.a

Sebagaimana diceritakan oleh Abu Abdullah Khawas rah.a –salah seorang muridnya-. Katanya, “Suatu ketika kami pergi ke daerah Raye bersama Syaikh Hatam rah.a. Kami berangkat bersama rombongan sejumlah 330 orang dengan niat untuk ibadah haji. Semua orang dalam jemaah itu adalah mutawakkiliin yang tidak membawa bekal apa-apa untuk perjalanan. Di kampung Raye kami melewati seorang pedagang. Ia menyambut kami untuk makan malam dan melayani kami selama satu malam. Keesokan harinya orang itu berkata kepada Syaikh, “Saya hendak pergi mengunjungi seorang ulama yang sedang sakit. Jika tuan menginingkan, mari kita pergi bersama.” Maka Syaikh Abu Hatam rah.a berkata, “Menengok orang sakit adalah berpahala, terlebih lagi menengok ulama adalah ibadah. Saya hendak ikut ke sana.” Ulama yang sakit itu adalah Qadhi di kawasan Raye yaitu Syaikh Muhammad bin Muqaatil rah.a.

Pesanan Rasulullah saw untuk kaum Lelaki : "Jangan engkau kahwini wanita yang enam, jangan yang ananah, yang mananah, dan yang hananah dan jangan engkau kahwini yang hadaqah, yang basaqah dan yang syadaqah".

Hadith - Setiap Perkataan Akan Dipersoal

Dari Hasan rahmatullah 'alaih meriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w. telah bersabda:

"Jika seseorang hamba berucap, maka Allah S.W.T. pasti akan menyoalnya tentang ucapannya itu, bahawa apakah niat dan tujuan ucapannya itu."

Ja'far rahmatullah 'alaih berkata: Hadrat Malik bin Dinar rahmatullah 'alaih bilamana menceritakan hadith ini, maka dia akan menangis sehingga terputus-putus suaranya. Kemudian dia akan berkata: Orang menyangka bahawa dengan menceritakan hadith ini mata aku akan sejuk. Yakni aku akan gembira dengan menceritakan hadith ini. Aku tahu Allah S.W.T. pasti akan menyoalku: Apakah tujuan dan niat kamu dalam menceritakan hadith ini.
