What is the Meaning of Hizbiyyah and What is The Ruling Upon It? Shaykh Ubaid Al Jaabiree

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Bid'ah (Innovation), Deviated Callers & Individuals, Fatawa-Rulings, Featured, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Methodology - 'Manhaj', Video.

A questioner from Germany asks:

“What is the definition of Hizbiyyah and what is its ruling?”

Watch the video for the answer.

Your question O my child from Germany is composed of two parts. The first: concerning the meaning of hizbiyyah and I say you have done well for asking this question. So hizbiyyah is to unite and side with an individual, individuals or a group other than Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamā’ah. And it’s possible (the people of hizbiyyah) side themselves with a number of groups. So you find one of them for example, uniting with Jamā’atu-Tablīgh, Jamā’atul-ikhwān, Jamā’atul-jihād or other than them from the present day da’wah affiliated groups that are all deviated and misguide people.

I say this without any reluctance, as this is what I profess as my religion before Allāh.

So you find him (a person of hizbiyyah) making his friendship and allegiance towards those who side with him, a groups of people, a single individual or various individual persons.  He builds his allegiance and enmity based on them.

It was this that Shaykhul-Islām – may Allāh have mercy upon him – signified with his saying, “And whosoever raises for the people a man for whose sake friendship and enmity is formed, then he is  from those who have divided their religion and split into sects” and with this detailed explanation – if Allāh wills – I think you have understood the meaning of hizbiyyah. It is taken from (the word) tahazzub (to form partisanship).

As for the second part and that is your question concerning its ruling – it is an innovation and misguidance. So whoever sides himself with other than the Salafis – and they are the People of Hadīth (prophetic narrations), Ahlul- Athar, (people of narrations), the Victorious Party, the Saved Sect, the People of Sunnah and Jamā’ah (unity).

So this is the reality of despicable hizbiyyah and (one who falls into it) is from those who have divided their religion and split into sects.

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Fatawa-Rulings, Salaah - Prayer, Video, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

The questioner asks:

“Question: A man became impure after intimate relations (junub), so he performed tayyammum (ritual purification with dust when water isn’t available) and then found cold water… He is able to make Wudhu with it, but not able to perform Ghusl (Full Purification with a Bath) due to the coldness, what is the ruling on that? And, he he has no way of heating the water?

 

Do Not Pray with Those Who Revile Ahlus Sunnah – Shaykh Saaleh al Fawzaan

Q: Oh Noble Scholar – May Allah give you success – this questioner also says, my job is far from my house – a distance of 140 km, And there is a masjid where I pray the Friday prayer, but the khateeb reviles Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah, is it allowed for me to leave the Friday prayer in this masjid, knowing that there are other masaajid, but they are far from my workplace?

A: Do not pray with him whilst he reviles Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah. This is a great evil, do not pray with him. Pray it as dhuhr*, pray it as dhuhr, do not pray it as jumu’ah, except if there was near you another masjid, that you can pray in, and there isn’t any reason prohibiting that, then pray in there, N’am.

* The questioner was a traveller which is why the Shaykh said pray it as dhuhr

How does the Woman Wipe her Head during Wudu – Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al Uthaymeen

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Basics, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Video, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

سؤال:

هل مسح الرأس للمرأة مثل الرجل؟ وماذا تفعل إذا كان شعرها طويلاً؟ هل تمسحه إلى نهايته وترجع، أم يكفي مسحه إلى حد رأس الرجل؟

الجواب:

يجب أن نعلم أن الأحكام الشرعية تتفق فيها النساء مع الرجال والرجال مع النساء، إلا ما قام الدليل على التفريق بينهما، وعلى هذا فالمرأة يشرع لها في مسح الرأس ما يشرع للرجل، فتضع يديها على مقدم الرأس، ثم تردهما إلى قفاه ثم تردهما إلى المحل الذي بدأت منه، كما يصنع الرجل، ولا يلزمها أن تمسح إلى أسفل الرأس، بل تمسح إلى حد منابت الرأس، وكذلك الرجل إذا كان له شعر طويل إلى الكتفين، فإنه لا يلزمه أن يمسح إلا على قدر منابت الشعر فقط.

English Translation:

Question

Is the wiping over the head (during Wudhu) for women similar to that of the mens’? What does she do if she has  long hair? Does she wipe it till she reaches the end of her hair and wipes back or is it sufficient for her to wipe till she reaches the hair line of the (back of the) head like the men.

Answer

It is obligatory for us to know that all religious legislated acts (rulings and teachings) apply to both men and women except where evidence establishes a difference (in ruling) between them.

Upon (applying) this, then it is legislated for a woman to wipe over her head in accordance to the way it is legislated for the men.

So she places both of her hands at the forehead (forehead hairline) and moves them both to the back of the neck then she returns them to the place she began from, like the men do.

She is not obligated to wipe past the base of the head but instead she wipes till the back hairline. Likewise, for men who have long hair till the shoulders, certainly he is not obligated to wipe except till the hairline boundary only.

Advice for a Person who is Immersed in Desires and Doubts – Shaykh Rabee

Written by abuaisha on . Posted in Articles, Basics, Fatawa-Rulings, Featured, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

What is your advice, may Allah preserve you, for one who has fell into the sea of desires and doubts?

My advice, for him is to repent to Allah and that he recalls the statement of Allah the Blessed and Most High,

Say: “O ‘Ibâdî (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, verily Allâh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (Az-Zumar: 53)

Therefore, even if you were swimming in a sea of disbelief, you have indeed performed good, by way of repenting to Allah the Blessed and Most High, because the door of repentance is open for all of the servants. So, upon him is to repent to Allah and return to the truth.

‘Whomsoever performs ghusl for a (deceased) Muslim and conceals (his affairs), he will be forgiven 40 times…” hadeeth & Commentary Sh. Albani

Written by Enam Ali on . Posted in Death, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Purification of The Soul, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

The messenger of Allāh (sallallāhu alaihi wa salam) said,

‘Whomsoever performs ghusl for a (deceased) Muslim and conceals (his affairs), he will be forgiven 40 times…”

To attain this reward there are two conditions

1. That he conceal the dead person, i.e. he does not talk or disclose that which he has seen from disliked/unpleasant affairs (related to the deceased).

2. That he hopes and desires by way of washing the dead Muslim, the Face of Allāh, not seeking a reward or thanks or anything from the affairs of the worldly life.

Hadeeth is Saheeh upon the conditions of Muslim

Fasting People Take Advantage and Supplicate to Allāh – Shaykh Uthaymīn

Written by abuaisha on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Fasting, Fatawa-Rulings, Must Read, Qur'aan, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad sallallāhu alaihi wa salam) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright. (Al-Baqarah: 186)

Benefits Extracted from this Verse for the Fasting Person:

Supplicating to Allāh whilst fasting is one of the times where supplications are most likely to be answered. This is because Allāh mentioned this verse within the verses of fasting. Especially since He spoke about it at the end of His speech regarding the verses of fasting.

Some of the scholars said, There is another benefit extracted from this verse: it is befitting to supplicate at the end of the fasting day, (i.e. before Maghrib, at point of opening fast).

Shaykh Uthaymīn (rahimahullāh) said,

This is one of the best times to supplicate, as the fasting person is weak and the weaker a person is, the more softer and open his heart is.  This person is more likely to turn repentantly to Allāh and to lower and submit himself to Allāh.

Giving Zakah (obligatory charity) to a Sick Person for Treatment – Shaykh Al-Uthaymīn

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Articles, Death, Fatawa-Rulings, Worship - 'Ibaadah', Zakaat.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Shaykh Uthaymīn was asked about the permissibility of giving zakah to a person for  medical treatment.

He answered (rahimahullāh):

A person’s need for treatment, is an urgent need. Therefore if we find an ill person who needs treatment and he does not have money to pay for the treatment; then there is no problem in giving him zakah (obligatory charity). Because the intent of it (zakah) is the removal of need.

What Are the Signs of a Responsive Heart and Unresponsive Heart? Shaykh Uthaymīn

Written by abuaisha on . Posted in Articles, Basics, Bid'ah (Innovation), Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Fatawa-Rulings, Purification of The Soul.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Shaykh Uthaymīn was asked:

What are the signs of a responsive heart? And the signs of an unresponsive heart?

Shaykh Uthaymīn:
A sign of a responsive heart, is that it humbles itself to the remembrance of Allāh.

And the sign of an unresponsive heart is that it is not affected by what it hears, from the verses of Allah.
