QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Q. There is an opinion that the Ya’juj and Ma’juj are
actually people of Mongloid/Chinese origin and they had already appeared at some
time in history wroughting the havoc mentioned in some Ahaadith. Some say that
the Mongols who had devastated the Islamic World and destroyed Baghdad centuries
ago were the Ya’juj and Ma’juj. Another opinion is that the story of Ya’juj
and Ma’juj has a figurative interpretation and could refer to the present day
Chinese who are spreading throughout the world and can be found in almost every
country. Is there any Islamic substance in these theories?
A. Yes, there is Islamic substance in these theories.
That substance is the substance of kufr. Every one of these baseless and
ridiculous theories renders a person a murtadd (renegade) and places him
outside the fold of Islam. These theories are utter drivel and in total conflict
with the Qur’aan and Ahaadith. Keeping these two rebellious tribes imprisoned
somewhere on earth and made invisible to others is not beyond the Qudrat
(Power) of Allah Ta’ala. They will be let loose during the reign of Nabi Isaa
(alayhis salaam). It is then that they will unleash their anarchy and spread
havoc on earth. The appearance of Ya’juj and Ma’juj is among the major signs
of Qiyaamah.
Q. The occasion of a dinner to raise funds for an Islamic
school in Pietermaritzburg was graced by a radio mufti who was the guest
speaker. It was a fashionable dinner in western style. Women were enlisted to
sell tickets for this ‘fund-raising’ dinner. Cost per ticket per person was
R100. School children were pressurized by their teachers to bring groceries for
the dinner. The teachers embarrassed those children who could not bring ‘sufficient’
groceries. The children were also ordered to sell the R100 tickets. A Hindu
businessman was requested to donate vegetables for the occasion. Prominent
members of the community (those who can afford to throw food down the drain)
were given free tickets to ennoble and sanctify the dinner occasion with their
august presence. On the contrary, poor muath-thins were ignored deliberately.
The radio mufti who graced the dinner was on a three-day expedition since he had
to attend braais and visits to the Lion Park, etc. The meal was a seven course
affair. A number of questions were faxed to the radio mufti on this issue and he
was requested to respond on the airwaves, but he declined. He, however, promised
that he would reply in writing, but has failed to honour his promise. Now what
is the difference between the partying non-Muslims and us?
A. The errant, nufti-e-soo’ (evil mufti) of the
shaitaani radio should answer this question. But since deep down in his heart
his conscience tells him that every act he perpetrated from the very first step
he took from his home in the direction of the haraam function and haraam braai
and other escapades, was a mal’oon (accursed) one. He knows in the
innermost recesses of his heart that he has betrayed Islam, betrayed Allah Ta’ala,
betrayed Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), betrayed the community and
sold his little Ilm and honour for a few miserable rands and a bit of cheap
publicity that goes with such haraam affairs. The evil, vice and immorality of
the whole accursed function organized in the name of the Deen are too glaring,
hence there is no need to present an academic refutation of the haraam this
radio mufti and the fundraisers had committed. Islam is today being pillaged by
men decorated outwardly in Deeni garb for achieving fulfilment of the basest and
vilest ambitions of the nafs.

MPL KUFR IS A
GLOBAL PLOT
The South African brand of so-called Muslim personal
law is a cog in a global plot to undermine Islam and impose on Muslims
by cunning and deception a false religion under the name of Islam. The
global plot has its origin in the American Ford Foundation and is
conniving with the Law and Religion Program of Emory University,
Atlanta, U.S.A. Millions of dollars have already been spent to sell and
introduce this type of mutilation of the Divine Shariah of Islam.
Munaafiqeen masquerading as Muslims have been enlisted to ensure the
materialization of this plot.
In some places it is called Islamic Family Law.
In South Africa it is described as Muslim Personal Law. Both are
cogs in the same conspiratorial machinery of the kuffaar who are
eternally devising schemes to eliminate Islam. Shallow-minded molvis and
half-baked scholars in South Africa who fail to see further than their
noses have also been surreptitiously enlisted to give steam to this vile
plot which must for a certainty fail because the Qur’aan says: “They
intend to extinguish the Noor of Allah (the Divine Shariah) with their
mouths while Allah will complete (and safeguard) His Noor even though
the kaafiroon detest it.”
The only khair for the errant Muslim personnel
who have been beguiled to serve the interests of the Yahood and
Nasaaraa, is to dismount and jump out of the haraam cauldron of Jahannum
into which they have plunged. May Allah Ta’ala guide them and protect
our Imaan and the Imaam of all Muslims, including our shallow-minded
molvis. |
Q. What should Hanafis do when the Hanafi Imaam in order to
appease the Shaafi musallis and maintain unity leads the Witr Jamaat during
Ramadhaan in accordance with the Shaafi Math-hab?
A. The Witr of the Hanafis is not valid by following the
misguided imam. Performing one raka’t separately is not valid in terms of the
Hanafi Math-hab. Furthermore, Witr is Sunnat for the Shaafis and Waajib for
Hanafis. Thus, the Waajib Salaat is not valid behind an imam who performs Sunnat
Salaat. The argument of ‘unity’ is a figment of the imam’s nafs. Hanafis
should perform their Witr separately. They should not join the jamaat led by the
errant imam. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid involvement in fitnah
which the deviate imam is sure to churn up if the Hanafis perform their own Witr
Jamaat in the Musjid. After Taraaweeh, the Hanafis should leave the Musjid and
organize their own Jamaat elsewhere so that the foolish imam is not afforded an
occasion to initiate fitnah in the Musjid.
Q. On the 15th Sha’baan I fasted the whole day. I am
breast-feeding my baby of 7 months. By 4 p.m. I had no milk. Yesterday (i.e. the
2nd of Ramadhaan) I fasted until 4.30 p.m.. I became dizzy and light-headed and
I did not have enough milk to feed the baby. What should I do? My baby feeds
every two hours and this is his only source of nourishment.
A. In the circumstances you are allowed to forgo fasting.
After Ramadhaan, as soon as it becomes possible, make Qadha of the missed fasts.
Q. It was my intention to proceed from Jiddah to Madinah for
Ziyaarat. However, after arriving in Jiddah, I decided to go for Umrah first.
Will it be valid to don ihram in the hotel in Jiddah or do I have to pay the
damm penalty?
A. Your ihram in Jiddah is valid. There is no need for
the penalty.
Q. We are a small group of concerned Muslims who invite
non-Muslims in our community to Islam. This has led to a dispute with some
people who claim that we have no mandate and that we are accompanied by Shaitaan
in our endeavours. Since we are not Ulama, hence we sincerely seek naseehat from
you in this regard. Where and from whom do we get permission to carry on our da’wah
activity?
A. The opposition to your laudable endeavours is weird
and decidedly satanic. The Qur’aan severely castigates those who put
impediments in the Path of the Deen. Those who seek to prevent you from your
noble endeavour are like the kuffaar who create impediments in the path of Da’wat
and Tableegh. Your efforts are commendable and of great merit. Continue with
your Deeni Da’wat programme and ignore the stupid and destructive criticism of
the detractors. You do NOT need any mandate from anyone whomsoever for your work
of the Deen. Da’wat and Tableegh are not the functions of any particular
jamaat or group. It is the inherent Islamic right of every Muslim to present
Islam to others as best as he is able to. However, care should be taken to
ensure that the muballigh does not propagate his personal ideas and opinions. If
he is unaware of any Deeni mas’alah, he must compulsorily refer to the Ulama
for guidance. May Allah Ta’ala reward you and sustain you in your endeavour to
propagate Islam to the non-Muslims in your area.
Q. Is it permissible to make a bequest in favour of one’s
grandson (son’s son)?
A. Wasiyyat (a bequest) for a grandson is valid as long
as he is not an heir who will inherit automatically on the death of his
grandfather. A grandson will automatically inherit if his paternal grandfather
had no living sons when he died. If the grandfather left behind a son, then the
grandson will not inherit, hence the wasiyyat for him will be valid. The amount
of the wasiyyat should not exceed one third the total value of the assets of the
mayyit (deceased).
Q. Just prior to his death, a man set aside a sum of money to
be given to the poor as his Zakaat. However, the money was not distributed while
he was alive. Can the money be distributed now after his death?
A. The money now belongs to his estate. It may
