Is it prescribed to send blessings upon the angels?

Is it prescribed to send blessings upon the angels?
Is it permissible to send blessings upon the angels because of their virtue and high status?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

It is prescribed to send blessings upon the angels by saying
“ ‘Alayhim al-salaatu wa’l- salaam (upon them be blessings and peace)” and “
‘alayhim al-salaam (upon them be peace)”, because they are honourable,
devoted worshippers and one of the creations of Allaah whom Allaah, may He
be glorified and exalted, favoured over others as He says: 

“They [whom they call children of Allaah i.e. the angels,
‘Eesa (Jesus) __ son of Maryam (Mary), ‘Uzayr (Ezra)], are but honoured
slaves”

[al-Anbiya’ 21:26] 

“But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of
mankind) to watch you,

11. Kiraaman (Honourable) Kaatibeen —writing down (your
deeds)”

[al-Infitaar 82:10,11] 

“In the hands of scribes (angels).

16. Honourable and obedient”

[‘Abasa 80:15, 16] 

They have a particular status, virtue and honour, so it is
prescribed to send blessings upon them, and there is no reason not to do so,
rather it is prescribed. End quote.

Should she refuse marriage to someone who has a bad past?

I am a moderate muslim, I practise my faith to the best of my ability, which means no drink, smoke, drug, clubbing, freely socialising with the opposite sex... I am a stage my parents want me to get married. But I am finding it difficult to say yes to anyone of the proposals because they have all had some kind of relationship or been clubbing etc in the past.....


Most people say they have changed and so forth, but i tend to think, these actions have ramifications in the future.....

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Islam is all moderation. Adherence to the
teachings of Islam, doing the obligatory duties and avoiding the things that are forbidden are not optional for the Muslim, because these are
things that Allaah has enjoined upon him. There is so much confusion nowadays that a person who avoids some haraam things and does some obligatory
duties is regarded as being over-strict and stubborn. Undoubtedly this is because the people have deviated from correct understanding of Islam and
because they indukge so much in sin and neglect the obligatory duties prescribed in sharee’ah. 

We appreciate your keenness to adhere to the
teachings of Islam in a society such as the one in which you are living. You should note that what you are doing is an action that is beloved by
Allaah and by His believing friends, and that it is something which is hated by the devils among mankind and the jinn. 

Your keenness to find a righteous husband is
in accordance with teachings of Islam on choosing and marrying a spouse, but you should not reject a person who is known for his good character
and religious commitment because of his past. If a person has repented, his past should not be a source of shame and he should not be rejected if
he comes seeking marriage. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The one who repents from sin is like one who did
not sin at all.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and classed as hasan by al-Albaani. But if he has a past record of sin and it is not known whether he had
given it up, in such a case you cannot be sure of his morals or religious commitment, so he cannot be accepted as a marriage partner. 

It is not enough for a person to tell his
fiancée or her guardians that he has changed and has given up the bad and immoral things that he used to do; his word cannot be accepted and
believed until there is the certainty that he is telling the truth or that he has definitely given up those bad things. 

Strive to choose a righteous man even if he
has a past and do not reject him. Reject everyone who is known to have a bad past and has not given it up, because the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) told men: “A woman may be married for four things: her wealth, her lineage, her beauty, or her religious
commitment. Choose the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
5090; Muslim, 1466). 

This applies also to women, i.e., a woman
should not accept anyone but a man who is religiously committed and of good character. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: “If there comes to you to marry (your daughter) one who with whose religious commitment and character you are pleased, then marry (your
daughter) to him, for if you do not do that, there will be fitnah (tribulation) in the land and widespread corruption.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi,
1084; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 866. 

It says in Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi: The
phrase “if there comes to you to marry (your daughter)” means if he comes to ask to marry a woman from among your children or relatives. “One with
(whom) … you are pleased” means you think well of him, and are pleased with his religious commitment. “His character” means his attitude and how
he deals and interacts with others. “Then marry (your daughter) to him, for if you do not do that” means, if you do not marry (your daughter) to
one with whose religious commitment and character you are pleased, and you are only concerned with lineage, beauty and wealth, “there will be
fitnah (tribulation) in the land and widespread corruption” i.e., great corruption, because if you will only marry her to someone who is wealthy
or of high status, most of your womenfolk may remain without husbands, and most of your men will remain without wives, so there will be a lot of
temptation to commit zina, and perhaps the guardians may feel that their honour has been violated (because of zina), so there will be a lot of
tribulation and corruption, which will result in illegitimacy and a lack of righteousness and chastity. 

Some of the Sahaabah were mushriks, then they entered Islam and became good Muslims, and they got married, and were not rejected because of what they had done in the past. 

What matters is what a man is adhering to now, so long as he has repented from whatever he has done in the past. 

We ask Allaah to make it easy for you to find a righteous husband and have righteous children. 

Praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds.

He is suffering from overpowering waswaas insinuating whispers from the Shaytaan

For some months i have been having a problem with waswas in both my prayers and when performing wudu.I keep forgetting what i have washed in my wudu and keep forgetting how much i have prayed.It has reached a point where i am making sajdah as - sahu for every single prayer because my mind keeps going blank.The more i concentrate on my prayer the more it occurs.Sometimes i think i must have read 6 or 7 rakats for a four rakat prayer because i simply cannot recal how much i have prayed and so i continue until i am certain.The more i do this the worse the problem gets. I want to ignore the waswas but i am not sure if this is sanctioned by the shariah.I feel it is the only way to rid myself of this disease.I read surah Baqarah and many dua related to the whisperings of shaytan and surahs falaq and naas.With regards to wudu i have a combination of problems as i feel tha i have not washed properly after using the bathroom or if my clothes get wet that there is something impure on my clothes.When making wudu i feel like i have not washed properly. I try to ignore these whisperings but i am terrified that if i ignore it and i am wrong, that my prayers will not be answered. I have reached a point where my prayers can take upto an hour or more to perfom and have become merely a ritual without any khushoo because of these problems. I finish one prayer and start fearing how i am going to manage to get through the next one. I feel i am trapped because there is no way i can miss a prayer as I know this is exactly what shaytan wants me to do. Please help me , may Allah reward you. 

Praise be to
Allaah.

Our
advice to you first of all is that you have to consult a  psychologist;
try to find a Muslim doctor so that he will understand your problem.
Secondly, you have to take the easier option always, and do not think
about the sin or punishment. If you do not follow this advice, your
problem will continue. In a prayer when you are not sure whether you
have prayed three or four rak’ahs, you have to assume that it is four,
and the part of the body which you are unsure whether you have washed
it, you have to assume that you have washed it. This applies to every
situation you face: take the easier option. If you do that you will
have defeated the Shaytaan who has subjected you to this involuntary
waswaas. May Allaah heal you and grant you good health.

Is it counted as committing sin openly if a person commits sin in front of his children

Is it counted as committing sin openly if a person commits sin in front of his children?

Praise be to Allaah. 

We put this question to our shaykh, Muhammad ibn Saalih
al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah preserve him), who answered as follows:

 I seek refuge with Allaah! This is worse than committing
sin openly, because in addition to committing sin openly, it is giving
a bad upbringing.

 Question: If he does it inside his own house and
not in front of people, will he still be counted as committing sin openly?

 Answer: If he were to do it
in his own room on his own, we would not say that this committing sin
openly, but the fact that he is doing it in front of his children means
that he is giving them a bad upbringing as well as committing sin openly.
Hence smokers must not smoke in front of their children, because by
doing so they are teaching them to smoke. And Allaah knows best.

shaykh, Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen

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. 

The child’s rights over their children
include some that come even before the child is born, for example: 

1 – Choosing a righteous wife to be a
righteous mother. 

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah
be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A woman may be married for four reasons: her wealth,
her lineage, her beauty and her religious commitment. Marry the one who is religiously committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may
you prosper).” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4802; Muslim, 1466).

 Shaykh ‘Abd al-Ghani al-Dahlawi said: Choose
from among women those who are religiously committed and righteous, and who are of good descent, for if a woman is of illegitimate descent, this
bad characteristic may be passed to her children. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

 “The adulterer —
fornicator marries not but an adulteress — fornicatress or a Mushrikah; and the adulteress –fornicatress, none marries her except an adulterer —
fornicater or a Mushrik”

[al-Noor 24:3] 

Rather Islam recommends compatibility for the purpose of harmony and to avoid a person being shamed if he marries into a family that is not
compatible. 

Sharh Sunan Ibn Maajah,
1/141 

Rights after the child is born: 

1 – It is Sunnah to do tahneek for the
child when he is born: 

It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may
Allaah be pleased with him) said: The son of Abu Talhah was sick. Abu Talhah went out and the child died, and when Abu Talhah returned he said,
“What happened to my son?” Umm Sulaym (his wife) said, ‘He is quieter than he was.” Then she brought him his dinner and he ate, then he had
marital relations with her, and when he finished she said, “They buried the child.” The following morning, Abu Talhah went to the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him what had happened. He said, “Did you have marital relations last night?” He
said, “Yes.” He said, “O Allaah, bless them.” She later gave birth to a boy. Abu Talhah said to me, “Keep him until I bring him to the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” He brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and I sent some
dates with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) took him and said, “Is there anything with him?” They said, “Yes,
some dates.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) took some and chewed it, then he took some from his mouth and put it in
the child’s mouth (tahneek), and named him ‘Abd-Allaah. 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5153; Muslim, 2144 

Al-Nawawi said: 

The scholars are agreed that it is mustahabb
to do tahneek with dates for the child when he is born; if that is not possible then to use some similar kind of sweet. The dates should be
chewed until they become soft enough to be swallowed, then the child’s mouth should be opened and a little of the dates put in his mouth. 

Sharh al-Nawawi ‘ala Muslim,
14/122-123 

2 – The child should be given a good name,
such as ‘Abd-Allaah or ‘Abd al-Rahmaan. 

It was narrated from Naafi’ that Ibn ‘Umar
said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The most beloved of your names to Allaah are ‘Abd-Allaah and
‘Abd al-Rahmaan.”  

(Narrated by Muslim, 2132) 

It is mustahabb to give the child a Prophet’s
name: 

It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik said:
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A child was born to me last night and I called him by the name of
my father Ibraaheem.” 

Narrated by Muslim, 2315 

It is mustahabb to name the child on the
seventh day, but there is nothing wrong with naming him on the day of his birth, because of the hadeeth quoted above. 

It was narrated from Samurah ibn Jundub that
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every child is in pledge for his ‘aqeeqah which should be
slaughtered for him on the seventh day, his head should be shaved and he should be named. 

Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2838; classed as
saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 4541 

Ibn al-Qayyim said: 

The purpose of naming is to define the thing named, because if there is something whose name is unknown it is difficult to refer to it. So it is
permissible to name him (the child) on the day he is born, and it is permissible to delay the naming until the third day, or until the day of the
‘aqeeqah, or before or after that. The matter is broad in scope.” 

Tuhfat al-Mawlood,
p. 111 

3 – It is Sunnah to shave the child’s head on
the seventh day and to give the weight of the hair in silver in charity. 

It was narrated that ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib
said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) slaughtered a sheep as the ‘aqeeqah for al-Hasan, and he said, “O
Faatimah, shave his head and give the weight of his hair in silver in charity.” So she weighed it and its weight was a dirham or part of a
dirham. 

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1519; classed as
hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 1226. 

4
– It is mustahabb for the father to do the ‘aqeeqah, as stated in the hadeeth quoted above, “Every child is in pledge for his ‘aqeeqah.” 

Two sheep should be sacrificed for a boy and
one for a girl. 

It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah that the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded them (to sacrifice) two similar sheep for a boy and one for a girl.

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1513; Saheeh al-Tirmidhi,
1221; Abu Dawood, 2834; al-Nasaa’i, 4212; Ibn Maajah, 3163 

5 – Circumcision 

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The fitrah is five things, or five things are part of the fitrah:
circumcision, shaving the pubic hairs, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails and trimming the moustache.”

 Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5550; Muslim, 257 

The child’s rights with regard to education
and upbringing: 

It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah
be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Each of you is a shepherd and is
responsible for his flock. The ruler who is in charge of people is a shepherd and is responsible for them. The man is the shepherd of his
household and is responsible for them. The woman is the shepherd of her husband’s house and child and is responsible for them. The slave is the
shepherd of his master’s wealth and is responsible for it. Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock.” 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2416; Muslim, 1829. 

So parents must take care of teaching their
children the duties of Islam and other virtues that are recommended in sharee’ah, and worldly matters that they need in order to live a decent
life in this world. 

The man should start by teaching them the
most important things, then the next most important. So he starts by teaching them correct ‘aqeedah, free from shirk and bid’ah. Then he teaches
them the acts of worship, especially prayer. Then he teaches them and trains them in good manners and characteristics, and everything that is
good. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And (remember) when Luqmaan said to his
son when he was advising him: “O my son! Join not in worship others with Allaah. Verily, joining others in worship with Allaah is a great Zulm
(wrong) indeed”

[Luqmaan 31:13] 

It was narrated from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn al-Rabee’
ibn Sabrah from his father that his grandfather said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Teach the
child to pray when he is seven years old, and smack him if he does not pray when he is ten.” 

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 407; Abu Dawood,
494. Classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 4025 

It was narrated that al-Rubayyi’ bint
Mu’awwidh said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent word on the morning of Ashoora’ to the areas where the Ansaar
lived (on the outskirts of Madeenah), saying: Whoever did not fast this morning, let him not eat for the rest of the day, and whoever started
fasting this morning, let him complete his fast. She said: We used to observe this fast after that, and we used to make our children fast and make
them toys of wool; if one of them cried for food we would give him that toy until it was time to break the fast. 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1859; Muslim, 1136 

It was narrated that al-Saa’ib ibn Yazeed
said: I was taken for Hajj with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when I was seven years old. 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1759 

Training in good manners and
characteristics: 

Every father and mother should train their
children in praiseworthy characteristics and good manners, whether towards Allaah, His Prophet the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him), towards their Qur’aan and ummah, and with everyone whom they know and who has rights over them. They should not behave
badly with those whom they mix with, their neighbours or their friends. 

Al-Nawawi said: 

The father must discipline his child and
teach him what he needs to know of religious duties. This teaching is obligatory upon the father and all those in charge of children before the
child reaches the age of adolescence. This was stated by al-Shaafa’i and his companions. Al-Shaafa’i and his companions said: This teaching is
also obligatory upon the mother, if there is no father, because it is part of the child’s upbringing and they have a share of that and the wages
for this teaching may be taken from the child’s own wealth. If the child has no wealth then the one who is obliged to spend on him may spend on
his education, because it is one of the things that he needs. And Allaah knows best. 

Sharh al-Nawawi ‘ala Saheeh Muslim,
8/44 

The father should bring them up with good manners in all things, eating, drinking, dressing, sleeping, going out of the house, entering the house,
riding in vehicles, etc, and in all their affairs. He should instill in them the attributes of a good man, such as love of sacrifice, putting
others first, helping others, chivalry and generosity. He should keep them away from evil characteristics such as cowardice, stinginess, lack of
chivalry, lack of ambition, etc. 

Al-Manaawi said: 

“Just as your parents have rights over you, so too your child has rights over you, rather many rights, such as teaching them the individual
obligations, teaching them Islamic manners, giving them gifts equally, whether that is a gift, a waqf, or other gift. If preference is shown with
no reason, that is regarded as invalid by some of the scholars and as makrooh by others. 

Fayd al-Qadeer,
2/574 

He must also protect his sons and daughters
from everything that may bring them close to the Fire. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“O you who believe! Ward off yourselves
and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from
executing) the Commands they receive from Allaah, but do that which they are commanded”

[al-Tahreem 66:6] 

al-Qurtubi said: 

al-Hasan commented on this verse by saying,
Command them and forbid them. One of the scholars said: (The phrase) Ward off (or protect) yourselves includes children, because the child is part
of him, as it says in the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “…nor on yourselves, if you eat from your houses…” [al-Noor
24:61], where the various relatives are not mentioned individually. So he should teach him what is halaal and what is
haraam, and make him avoid sin, and teach him other rulings. 

Tafseer al-Qurtubi,
18/194-195. 

Spending: 

This is one of the father’s obligations towards his children; it is not permissible for him to fall short in that or to neglect this matter,
rather he is obliged to do this duty in the fullest sense. 

It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr
(may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is sufficient sin for a
man if he neglects those on whom he is obliged to spend.” 

Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1692; classed as
sahan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 4481. 

Another of the greatest rights is to give the child a good upbringing and take good care of him or her – especially in the case of girls. The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged this righteous deed. 

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah the wife of
the Prophet (S) said: A woman came to me with two daughters and asked me for food, and I could not find anything except one date which I gave to
her. She shared it between her two daughters, then she got up and went out. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came in
and I told him what had happened. He said: “Whoever is in charge of any of these girls and treats them well, they will be a shield for him against
the Fire.” 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5649; Muslim, 2629 

Another important matter which is one of the
rights of children to which attention must be paid, is treating children fairly. This right was referred to by the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the saheeh hadeeth: “Fear Allaah and treat your children fairly.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2447; Muslim,
1623). It is not permissible to show preference to females over males, just as it is not permissible to show preference to males over females. If
the father makes this mistake and shows preference to some of his children over others, and does not treat them fairly, this will lead to many
evils, such as: 

The harm that befalls the father himself, for
the children whom he denies or deprives will grow up to hate him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) referred to this in
the hadeeth narrated by Muslim (1623) when he said to the father of al-Nu’maan, “Would you like them to honour you equally?” He said, “Yes.” In
other words, if you want them all to honour you equally, then be fair in giving gifts to them. 

Another evil consequence is the children
hating one another, and stoking the flames of hatred and enmity between them. 

And Allaah knows best.

Her husband is temperamental. How should she make du’aa’ for him

My sister is recently married but the marriage has not been going well as expected. In the beginning, everything was just fine but recently her husband has become very temperemental and has come very close to being violent. Is there any duaas or Qur'anic verses that she may read to help restore their marriage to the way it was?

Praise be to Allaah.

There is no specific soorah or du’aa’ that may be recited in the situation described, but this wife can pray for her husband however she wishes, such as saying, “O Allaah, take away his anger, O Allaah, make him patient, O Allaah, grant him tranquillity.” She should call on her Lord by His Most Beautiful Names and beseech Him to help her; she should strive to offer her supplication at the times when du’aa’s are most likely to be accepted, such as during the last third of the night, or the last hour of Friday, or the Day of ‘Arafaah, and when prostrating during prayer, and so on. We ask Allaah to put their affairs straight. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad

Her fiancé refuses to let her wear hijab

I am a religiously-committed Tunisian girl, but I have a problem. My fiancé refuses to let me wear hijab – even modern hijab. I am wondering whether I should go ahead with the marriage or reject him? Please note that most Tunisians are like this.

Praise be to Allaah.

Our advice to you is to
heed the command that Allaah has given to all people, the earlier and later
(generations), advice that combines the best of this world and the
Hereafter. Allaah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And verily, We have
recommended to the people of the Scripture before you, and to you (O
Muslims) that you (all) fear Allaah, and keep your duty to Him”

[al-Nisa’ 4:131] 

What goodness can there be
in this world if it involves incurring the wrath of the Lord, may He be
exalted? What happiness can there be if it is not following that path that
leads to Allaah’s pleasure? Would a believer be happy to make gains in this
world and lose out in the Hereafter? 

Allaah says (interpretation
of the meaning): 

“O you who believe! Fear
Allaah and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has
sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is All‑Aware of
what you do. 

19. And be not like
those who forgot Allaah (i.e. became disobedient to Allaah), and He caused
them to forget their ownselves (let them to forget to do righteous deeds).
Those are the Faasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allaah).

20. Not equal are the
dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of
Paradise that will be successful”

[al-Hashr 59:18-20]. 

The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) told men to choose a wife who is
religiously-committed, and he told women and their guardians to choose a man
who is also religiously-committed.  

It was narrated that Abu
Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If there comes to you one whose
religious commitment and attitude pleases you, then marry [your female
relative who is under your care] to him, for if you do not do that, there
will be tribulation on earth and much corruption.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi
and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah
(1022). 

The man who prevents his
wife from wearing hijab is not a man of good character or religiously
committed who deserves to be married. Rather it is most likely that the one
who prevents his wife from wearing hijab will also be negligent about other
major sins and actions that doom one to Hell. How can he protect his wife
and household, or how can he raise his children to obey Allaah when he is
disobeying Him and telling others to do likewise? 

It says in al-Mawsoo’ah
al-Fiqhiyyah (24/62): 

The wali (guardian) should
not give the female relative in his care in marriage to anyone but a man who
is pious and righteous. End quote. 

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan
said in al-Muntaqa (4/question no. 198): 

When marrying, we should
choose righteous spouses who adhere firmly to their religion, who respect
the sanctity of marriage and the importance of good treatment (of spouses).
It is not permissible to be careless with regard to this matter. Such
heedlessness has become widespread nowadays, with regard to this important
matter. People give their daughters and female relatives in marriage to men
who do not fear Allaah and the Last Day, and they end up complaining about
the husbands and they are confused about how to deal with them. If they had
looked for a righteous man before marriage, Allaah would have made it easy
for them (to find such a man). But in most cases this stems from negligence
and a failure to seek righteous husbands, and a bad man can never be
suitable. It is not permissible to take this matter lightly, because (such a
man) will mistreat the woman and he may lead her away from her religion or
influence her children. End quote. 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said
in Fataawa Noor ‘ala al-Darb (al-Nikaah/Ikhtiyaar al-Zawj/question
no. 16): 

What the woman’s guardian
must do if a suitor comes to propose to her is to find out about his
religious commitment and character. If they are good then he should give her
to him in marriage, and if they are not good then he should not do so, and
Allaah will bring to his female relatives one who is religiously committed
and of good character, for when Allaah knows that the reason why the
guardian did not give her to that suitor was so that a man of good character
and religious commitment could propose to her, then He will help him to find
such a man. End quote. 

What we think is that you
should not accept this fiancé, and Allaah will compensate you with someone
better than him. 

And Allaah knows best

Is it permissible to offer money to a person on the condition that he does a good deed?

Is it permissible to offer money to a person on the condition that he does a good deed ? For example, can I say to a Muslim uncle, I will give you 500 Dirhams if you grow and keep a beard ?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

It seems that there is nothing wrong with
doing that. Allaah has enjoined certain actions upon His slaves, and has promised a great reward in this world for doing them, so as to encourage
people to do them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his
duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).

 And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine”

[al-Talaaq 65:2-3] 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever would like his provision in this world to be increased and his life span to be extended, let him uphold the
ties of kinship.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5986; Muslim, 2557. 

As a way of encouraging righteous deeds, the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave permission for the one who killed a kaafir on the battelefield to take his spoils. 

It was narrated that Abu Qutaadah (may Allaah
be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, during the year of Hunayn: “Whoever
kills an enemy and has proof of that will have his spoils.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2973; Muslim, 1751. 

“Spoils” here refers to the money, luggage,
clothing and weapons that a fighter has with him. 

And the scholars regarded it as permissible
to offer prizes for memorizing soorahs from the Qur’aan or ahaadeeth, or for winning a contest of knowledge. 

The scholars of the Standing Committee were
asked: 

What is the ruling on receiving prizes for
Qur’aan memorization contests? 

They replied: 

There is nothing wrong with that, and there is no difference between men and women in this
regard. 

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah,
4/126 

This has to do with giving and offering: it
is permissible to offer and give money to one who lets his beard grow or does other things required by sharee’ah. 

But with regard to the one who takes that
money: if he let his beard grow in order to take the prize, then he will not be rewarded for his action, but if the prize motivated him to fulfil
the command of Allaah, or if he started because of the prize and then changed his intention after that and adhered to (following the ruling), then
he will be rewarded for that in which his intention was sound, and it will not matter that at first he was doing it for the prize. 

It was narrated from Anas that a man asked
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for sheep between two mountains and he gave them to him, then he went to his people
and said, “O my people, become Muslims, for by Allaah Muhammad gives generously and he does not fear poverty.” 

Anas said: People would become Muslim only
for worldly gains, but as soon as they became Muslim Islam became dearer to them than this world and everything in it. 

Narrated by Muslim, 2312. 

Al-Nawawi said: 

This is how it appears in most copies: “fa ma
yuslim (as soon as [they] became Muslim).” In some copies it says “fa ma yumsi (before the day ended).” Both are correct. The first means that
shortly after they became Muslim, Islam became dearer to them, i.e., at first they professed Islam for worldly purposes, with no sound intention
in their hearts, then by the blessing of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the light of Islam, their hearts were
soon opened to true faith which took root in their hearts, and then Islam became dearer to them than this world and everything in it. 

Sharh Muslim,
15/72, 73.

He does not allow his wife to appear in front of his brothers

 

My brother got married approximately two years ago, and during this time he has forbidden his wife to appear in front of his brothers, even in hijab, or to speak to them when they visit him. Until now we have no idea what she looks like and we have not spoken a single word to her. Is this permissible according to sharee’ah or is it extreme?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

A woman has to cover her entire body, including the face,
from men who are strangers to her (i.e., non-mahrams). She should observe
hijab even more strictly in front of her husband’s male relatives who are
not mahrams for her than in front of strangers. This is the opposite of what
most careless people do nowadays. The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said, when one of his companions wanted an exception to
allow the husband’s relatives to enter upon his wife: “The in-law is death.”
So we must be more cautious with regard to the husband’s relatives –
including his brothers – because of the carelessness that exists with regard
to this matter.

 Your brother has done well by not allowing his wife to
appear in front of you, and she has done well by obeying the command of
Allaah and of her husband. This is not extremism at all; rather it is
obedience to the command of Allaah. There is no need for the husband’s
brothers to see his wife, let alone sit with her and talk to her. 

Those scholars who said it is permissible for a woman to sit
with her husband’s relatives only allowed it on condition that there is no
suspicion attached to that and that she does not sit alone with one of them,
or there is no listening to songs or watching haraam things on the part of
either of them. Unfortunately such things happen in most people’s
gatherings. If the gathering is free of the above-mentioned evils and haraam
things and the woman observes full hijab, then it is permissible for her to
sit with them and speak to them, so long as she is not soft in speech. But
it is still better and more on the safe side for her not to do that, and
this is what your brother has done, so that hearts may remain pure and free
of the traps by which the Shaytaan ensnares people. 

What your brother has done should not have any effect on your
relationship with him or on the relationship of your wives with his wife.
They are doing something good and acting in accordance with Islam. You
should try to get close to them and learn from them in the way they deal
with people. You should note that your brothers’ criticizing their brother
for concealing his wife from them and not letting her sit with them makes
one have suspicions about them. In sha Allaah they are not that type of
people, but the Shaytaan may make something appear attractive to a man so
that what is good becomes bad to him, and what is bad becomes good, so he
regards covering and modesty as extremism and laxity as trust and progress.

We ask Allaah to purify our hearts and bodies, and to bring
you together in a good way, and to reconcile between you, and to make you a
good example to other people

His sister gave up her share of the inheritance then she regretted it Add To Cart

My sister gave up her share of a store to me after our parents died, but now she regrets it and she wants to change her mind. Does she have the right to do that?.

Praise be to Allaah.

The way in which we address
this problem will be based on an attitude of kindness, generosity and
chivalry, and on the basis of what we would like to think of you, that you
are generous, decent and of noble character, because our great religion
teaches us to be kind, uphold ties of kinship and respond to good treatment
in kind, because she is your sister who grew up with you and you share ties
of kinship with her, and she has great rights over you with regard to
looking after her, managing her affairs and striving to make her happy. So
it is better for you to be kind to her and give back what she gave up for
you, and to respond to her first act of kindness with one that is even
greater, and to let her off so that Allaah will let you off on the Day of
Resurrection. 

It was narrated that Abu
Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said: “Whoever agrees with a Muslim to cancel a transaction,
Allaah will forgive his sins on the Day of Resurrection.” Narrated by Abu
Dawood (3460) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. 

According to a version
narrated in al-Sunan al-Kubra by al-Bayhaqi: “Whoever agrees with one
who regrets it to cancel the transaction, Allaah will forgive his sins on
the Day of Resurrection.” 

Ibn ‘Abd al-Salaam said:
Agreeing to cancel a transaction for someone who regrets it is an act of
kindness that is enjoined in the Qur’aan. End quote, quoting from
al-Mannaawi in Fayd al-Qadeer (6/79). 

Rather, we say to you: It
would have been better for you to return to your sister what she had given
to you as soon as you realized that she regretted it, and you should not
have forced her to say that to you in words, so that she would not feel
embarrassed or awkward. 

Ma’mar – who was one of the
best of the Taabi’een – said: 

One of the worst acts of
kindness is when you force a person to ask (for what he needs) when he feels
shy before you, so your act of kindness will not make up for the pain of the
shyness that he went through. It would have been more appropriate for you to
find out about what your brother needed and send him what he needs, and not
force him to ask. End quote. 

This is how it should be
among siblings, for their joy is one and their grief is one. 

Always remember the great
reward that you will have with Allaah if you do what your sister wants and
give back that which she regrets giving, and relieve her distress, and
continue to be kind to her and uphold ties of kinship with her, especially
since she regrets giving it up because she is in difficulty and is facing
poverty. In that case you should offer her help and give her that which will
relieve her hardship, and reward her for her initial giving up of her share
to you. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Is there any reward
for good other than good?” [al-Rahmaan 55:60].  

The reports quoted above
were quoted from ‘Uluw al-Hammah by al-Sayyid al-‘Afaani (2/612-651,
5/288-302). 

But if she initially gave
it up because of shyness due to the fear of blame in a society that
mistreats women with regard to inheritance, or for fear that her brothers
might sever ties with her if they thought that she was insisting on her
rights, then in that case it is haraam for you to consume that wealth, and
it must be given back to her. The fuqaha’ have stated that whatever is taken
due to shyness is haraam wealth. 

It says in al-Mawsoo’ah
al-Fiqhiyyah (18/263): 

The Shaafa’is and Hanbalis
state that if wealth is taken due to shyness, such as if he asks someone
else for wealth in front of people and he gives it to him due only to
shyness, or he gives it to him out of shyness, and the recipient knows that
the giver only gave it to him out of shyness, it does not become his
property and it is not permissible for him to dispose of it, even if the
recipient did not ask for it. What matters here is the knowledge that the
one who gave his wealth gave it out of shyness, not out of generosity and
not for something in return.  

Hence if he joins people
whilst they are eating, and they ask him to eat with them, but he knows that
it was only because they felt shy, it is not permissible for him to eat
their food. End quote. 

To sum up: You should
return to your sister that which she gave up to you, so as to preserve love
between you and uphold the ties of kinship. 

We ask Allaah to compensate
you with something better. 

 

And Allaah knows best

Family problems caused by husband’s brother

I have a brother in law who is always at my house on the phone with my husband or pulling my husband to go out with him he can't seem to do anything without him, its gotten to the point where I cant stand to see him anymore. I feel he puts thoughts into my husbands head and he takes him away from his responsibilities to me and our three sons we have an active life with the three boys and I always get the short end I love to do things for them all but sometimes I'd like my husband to be with us but usually this means his brother will tag along or he'll constantly call untill he reaches us. I've had major fights with my husband because he thinks its ok to say no to me because I will understand and forgive him but his brother will pout for a long time. I think he should be more committed to us and not his brother if he wants us to survive as a family. As a muslim women, am I asking for to much or does his brothers feelings come first?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

The husband has to understand that Allaah has
enjoined upon him to take care of his children, to bring them up properly and to look after their affairs. He has also enjoined upon him to treat
his wife in a good and kind manner. Allaah will question him about every shortcoming with regard to these duties on the Day of Resurrection. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and
your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from
executing) the Commands they receive from Allaah, but do that which they are commanded”

[al-Tahreem 66:6] 

“and live with them [women] honourably”

[al-Nisa’ 4:19] 

Secondly: 

The husband should not allow into his life
anything that may come between him and his taking care of his family, such as working continually, or allowing friends or relatives to take all
his time or interfere in his family’s affairs. 

Nowadays the Muslim cannot find enough time
to do all the things that Allaah has enjoined upon him, so how can he waste his time with other things at the expense of these duties? 

Thirdly: 

The wife should not try to come between her
husband and his family. She should not complain about him visiting them or their visiting him, unless he is giving that priority over the duties
that Allaah has enjoined upon him. 

The father should not give anyone priority
over his children, whether that is his brother or any other relative. Hence there is no need to cause a split and break the family ties between
your husband and his brother, or between the children and their paternal uncle, because that will have a far-reaching effect on their
relationships with other people and with their relatives. 

Fourthly:

We advise you to be kind and gentle towards your husband, and to show him that you have nothing against his relationship with his brother. Do not
cause your children to dislike him. 

If you see any shortcoming on your husband’s
part with regard to his shar’i duties towards you, then denounce that and remind him in a manner that is better, without being too harsh. You can
do that by hinting rather than stating it bluntly, unless there is a need for that.  

We have seen similar cases in some families
where the wife had another member of her family staying with them for some reason.  So we think that the husband’s treatment of his family will
get better if he sees his wife treating his family in a better manner. 

And Allaah knows best.
