QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS and gain acceptance in the Muslim community. There is absolutely no basis in the Sunnah for these hybrid secular schools and for the haraam zina style teaching by a young girl in a mixed class of baaligh boys and girls. Zina of the eyes, zina of the ears and zina of the minds are being perpetrated every moment in that shaitaani class with so many shayaateen set loose by this haraam system. Those who present fallacious arguments to justify such haraam practices are making a mockery of the Sahaabah and the Holy Wives by citing them as substantiation. They are furthermore, slandering these holy personages by attributing lies to them. When occasionally the pious Sahaabah and pious Taabieen would visit the elderly and saintly wives of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to gain some knowledge of the DEEN, not worldly knowledge, they would be behind a screen as commanded by the Qur’aan. After gaining the knowledge in a very short time, they would depart probably never to return again. By what stretch of imagination can these juhala equate the haraam school set-up with the method in which the Holy Wives imparted Deeni knowledge on a very very informal basis and observing strict Hijaab. On the contrary, the group of baaligh boys and girls being taught by a young girl constitutes a class of zina. Shayaateen constantly are in their company. Their logic is disgraceful. Q. My niece and another grade 12 boy who is unrelated to her, are the only two pupils who are studying physical science. The Islamic school has assigned a non-Muslim male tutor to teach them after school hours when no others are around. The question arises, what happens when the Muslim boy happens to be absent and only my niece has to be in the company of the non-Muslim male teacher? The Islamic school says about such events that ‘sacrifices for the sake of the Deen have to be made’. Is it permissible for the Muslim public to support such a school? A. Supporting such a haraam school is a kabeerah sin. Allah Ta’ala warns in His Qur’aan: “Do not aid one another in sin and transgression.” This school is not an Islamic school. It is aiding and abetting pupils to commit zina. Even if the Muslim boy is present, it remains haraam for the girl to be in the company of either the Muslim boy or the non-Muslim teacher. The brains of those who claim that this haraam zina practice is a ‘sacrifice for the Deen’, must be clogged with spiritual filth and pollution. How can a Muslim ever describe haraam —– a kabeerah sin —as a “sacrifice for the Deen”? It is truly a disgusting state of affairs which exists in these so-called Islamic schools. Truly, the Ummah is engulfed with fitnah on every side. May Allah Ta’ala protect us all from the evil, fitnah, nafsaaniyat and shaitaaniyat of those who are supposed to be the learned ones. Evil originates from them and their own evil will rebound and hem them in. Q. In his book, Islamic Finance,Mufi Taqi Usmaani explains that the western concept of a legal entity or juridical person (the company) with its effect of limited liability is permissible in Islam. In terms of this concept the partners in a business are not responsible for all the debts they incur. They are committed for only the initial capital of the company. Their private assets cannot be acquired by the creditors if the company’s assets are insufficient to settle the debts. Please comment. A. Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Saheb has erred in his opinion on this matter. Islam does not recognize the concept of a fictitious person called ‘juridical person’. Islam also holds the debtors liable for their full debt. They cannot escape their liabilities, responsibilities and obligations under cover of the kuffaar company-concept. The creditors will have the right to demand their Huqooq even in Qiyaamah. We have written a refutation of the view presented by Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Saheb. Anyone interested in the detailed discussion may write to us for a copy. Please send a stamp of R3. People from other countries should not send stamps. Stamps of other countries cannot be used in South Africa. Q. Also in his book, Mufti Taqi legalizes interest on late payment of instalments. He calls it a ‘penalty’ payment. But this is interest called by another name. What is the Shariah’s ruling on this question? A. Interest called by any name remains haraam. The ‘penalty’ mentioned is haraam riba. The arguments which Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Saheb presented in his book are exceedingly weak, in fact spurious. This opinion militates against all the Nusoos (categoric Qur’aanic aayaat and Ahaadith of the Mutawaatir category). There is no scope for this ‘penalty’. Insha’Allah, we are in the process of preparing a refutation in response to the arguments which Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Saheb has presented in substantiation of the legality of interest on late payment of instalments.
Q. In reply to the Mujlisul Ulama’s book on the Female’s Hair, the author of the article which the Ulama criticized in their book, issued his reply, The Hair Rejoinder. Although there is really no Shariah proof in his Rejoinder for this opinion that it is permissible for women to cut their hair, what is disturbing is the fatwa of Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Uthmaani. According to the booklet (A Rejoinder), Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Saheb has endorsed the opinion of the permissibility of women cutting their hair. Please comment on this claim which is causing some confusion. A. On the contrary, Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Uthmaani Saheb rejects the baatil opinion of the permissibility of cutting hair for women. Hadhrat Mufti Saheb has no where endorsed the opinion of the deviate who has bent far backwards to make halaal what has been considered haraam in the Ummah for the past fourteen centuries. Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Saheb has issued a categoric rebuttal of the deviate’s opinion. He has been misinterpreted for the sake of eking out support for the baatil opinion. Insha’Allah, our response to the silly Rejoinder will soon be forthcoming. We shall show the fallacy of the incongruous and spurious arguments of the deviate, Insha’Allah. Whoever wishes to have a copy of the booklet may write to us for a copy. We shall appreciate some stamps to alleviate the burden of postal expenses, etc. Q. Some persons have objected to your fatwa on Credit Buying which appeared in The Majlis, Vol.15 No.5. It is said that the method The Majlis has explained does not render the sale and lease lawful in the Shariah. Please comment. A. The explanation we gave in our article, Credit Buying, is correct. It complies fully with the Shariah. You can be assured of this. If any among the Ulama feel that we have erred, they are welcome to present their arguments for our perusal and benefit. The opinions of those who lack adequate knowledge of the Shariah, cannot be entertained. Q. Some people when visiting the cemetery kiss the graves. Is this permissible? A. If the intention when kissing the grave is worship, then such kissing is kufr. If the niyyat is not ibaadat (worship), the act nevertheless remains a major sin. Q. A husband fully provides for his wife. He fulfils all the
rights of his wife. However, she has stipulated several conditions for the
continuation of the marriage. The conditions were submitted to a Mufti who
advised the husband to observe them. The wife repeatedly threatens to get the
Mufti to annul the nikah if the husband does not submit to her demands which are
as follows: After having enumerated these conditions, she asks the Mufti concerned: “Are any of these unreasonable?” A. No Mufti and no intelligent Muslim layman who possess some understanding of the Deen will accept these haraam nafsaani conditions. The so-called mufti who has advised the husband to observe this concoction of haraam is |
