QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Continued from page 4

either a total jaahil or is seeped in some sinister evil. How can any Aalim or any honourable Muslim ever condone the haraam conditions stipulated buy this woman who appears not to have an iota of fear for Allah Ta’ala in her heart. Every condition she has stipulated is baatil and haraam. It is not permissible for the husband to submit to this evil of his errant wife on whom settles the la’nat (curse) of Allah Ta’ala every moment according to the Ahadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). No Mufti and no Body of Ulama can ever annul this Nikah. Annulment of a Nikah is not a joke although we know that evil learned men and ignoramuses who think that they are Ulama, and half-baked molvis are quick to write out stupid ‘annulment’ certificates at the behest of misguided women who come to ‘cry’ on their shoulders. Such ‘annulment certificates’ are not worth the paper on which written. The nikah remains valid and any union with another man on the basis of a mock ‘nikah’ performed, will be an adulterous relationship which will spawn illegitimate offspring.

Q. What is the Shariah’s verdict regarding a man who mocks and ridicules a Muslim’s beard?

A. A person who mocks and ridicules the beard or any Sunnat of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) leaves the fold of Islam. He becomes a murtadd thereby.

Q. I have been hearing conflicting views about fortune-telling. Is it permissible to go to an astrologer/fortune-teller who studies the palm of one’s hand and predicts the future.?

A. There are no conflicting views on this evil and kabeerah sin. It is haraam to visit astrologers or fortune-tellers of any kind. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“Forty days of Salaat of a person who visits a fortune-teller is not accepted.” (Saheeh Muslim, Musnad-e-Ahmad)

“He who visits a fortune-teller and believes him (i.e. his predictions), verily he has committed kufr.” (Ahmad)

Besides these narrations, there are other Ahadith too which severely condemn astrologers/fortune-tellers and their evil profession.

Q. What is the Shariah’s view regarding those who criticize observation of Hijaab for male cousins?

A. It is fardh to observe purdah for cousins, i.e. male and female cousins should observe strict hijaab among themselves. Whoever criticizes any law of the Shariah becomes a murtadd.

OUT OF THE FOLD

“Whoever visits a fortune-teller, then believes what he says, and whoever approaches a menstruating women (i.e. has sexual relations), and whoever commits sodomy with a woman, verily, he has freed (himself) from what has been revealed to Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).”—Hadith— Musnad-e-Ahmad , etc.

Q. Recently many people went to Iraq as ‘human shields’. What is Islam’s view on this issue?

A. Islam does not advocate stupid antics. Those, especially, Muslims who engage in such tactics of the non-Muslims, do so for some cheap publicity. Besides the silliness and base motive underlying this publicity stunt, there is a grave implication in it for Muslim participants. The Qur’aan forbids fleeing from the battlefield. In this regard, the Qur’aan Majeed declares: “O People of Imaan! When you meet up with the unbelievers (i.e. face the enemy in the battlefield), then do not turn your backs (in flight). Whoever turns his back (in flight) on that day (of Battle), except as a strategy to return and fight or to link up with another group (of fighting Muslims), verily, he has earned the Wrath of Allah. His abode is Jahannum. Indeed it is an evil abode.”

The group of so-called human shields from South Africa included some Muslims. They went with much publicity. Far from honouring their declared intention and achieving their objective, the South African ‘human shields’ were the first to run away and abandon the Battlefield. They presented some stupid argument to justify their cowardly flight from the Battlefield. In the circumstances prevailing in Iraq, Jihaad is Fardh-e-Ain. The Muslim ‘human shields’ come within the purview of the aforementioned aayat. They are damn cowards who turned their backs when the heat was turned on. They abandoned the battlefield in cowardly flight and yet have the damn audacity to portray themselves as ‘heroes’ who did yeomen and valiant service for the Iraqi people. Only people who are completely dimwitted and soft in the brains will swallow the stupid excuses they present to justify their cowardly flight from the Battlefield. They were supposed to be ‘human shields’ to block the kuffaar attack. But even the suffering of the Iraqi Muslims, which they observed could not persuade these miserable and spineless ‘human shields’ to tarry a minute longer.

Q. Modernists claim that Purdah is Indo-Pak ideology. Please give the Shar’i ruling.

A. The Ummah will accept this claim only if these modernist shayaateen can prove that the Sahaabah, the Fuqaha of the Taabieen age, the Fuqaha of the Tabe Taabieen age, all the Fuqahaa of Ma Waraaun Nahr (Bukhara, Samarqand, etc., etc., and the entire Ummah besides the Muslims of the Indo-Pak subcontinent, were carriers of Indo-Pak identity documents. If they cannot prove this, then let them wallow in their shaitaani jahaalat. If they can prove that the Qur’aan Majeed which forcefully and explicitly propagates Purdah is of Indo-Pak origin, then we can concede the claim made by these morons. If they can prove that the famous Books of Ahaadith and Fiqh were authored by Indo-Pak Ulama and that the Fuqaha of Arabia and all other Lands which were at one time famous for Deeni Uloom, were Indians and Pakistanis, then we can bow our heads to their stupid claim. Even jahaalah (crass ignorance) is supposed to have limits. But it appears that the particular jahaalah of the homosexuals and lesbians of this age is a bottomless pit —an abyss of veritable IGNORANCE. Let us petition Allah Ta’ala to save us from such ruin.

Q. Can a wife demand khula’? Is khula’ a right which a wife can unilaterally invoke?

A. Khula’ is not a unilateral right, neither of the wife nor of the husband. It is a mutual contract whereby the wife pays a sum of money to secure her release from her marriage. When the husband refuses to issue Talaaq to a wife who does not want to live with him, she may induce him to give her talaaq in lieu of a sum of money. If he accepts, the contract will be binding. She will have to pay the agreed amount and he will have to issue Talaaq. The idea that khula’ is a right which vests in the wife is absolutely baseless.

Q. Is it permissible to wipe with a towel or cloth after wudhu?

A. It is permissible.

Q. What is the ruling regarding the use of nail polish by women?

A. Assuming that the nail polish contains no haraam ingredients, then too it is haraam to use this substances since neither ghusl nor wudhu is valid while the nails are coated with this substance which forms an impervious coating on the nails. Nail polish prevents water from reaching the surface of the nail. Besides this, it contains haraam substances such as alcohol.

Q. Does extraction of blood with a needle break wudhu?

A. Wudhu will break.

Q. While taking a waajib ghusl I forgot to rinse my mouth. After performing Salaat, I remembered the omission. What should be done in this situation?

A. The mouth should be rinsed and the Salaat repeated.

Q. A person enters the Musjid after the Jamaat Salaat. If he performs the Fardh alone, should he recite Iqaamah?

A. If he performs Salaat in the Musjid alone after the Jamaat has completed, he should not recite Iqaamah—not even silently.

Q. Are computer games permissible if no animate images are involved?

A. Regardless of there being no images of animate objects, all ‘lahw’ (sport/play/amusement) of the kuffaar type is baatil (haraam) according to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). All types of games such as carim, ludu, dominos, etc, including computer games, fall within the scope of the prohibition of lahw. Computer games are addictive, especially for children. The one evil leads to another. Children addicted to wasting hours on the shaitaani games will end up viewing the filth of computer pornography. The Shariah prohibits all stepping stones of evil. The ultimate consequence of these games is zina because indulgence in computer pornography is a logical and a necessary effect of the addiction of computer games even if in the beginning only such games are indulged in in which there are no animate images. Shaitaan is a sly teacher. He only touches one’s finger in the beginning. The next time he will hold the finger for a brief moment. Then progressively he will increase his hold until he ultimately swallows a person into his belly of evil.

Just look at the evil of these so-called ‘Islamic’ radio stations and channels. They initially pro
