SEEKING KNOWLEDGE IS ESSENTIAL UPON THE WOMAN

The woman – like the man is accountable for her actions, and is obligated in the religion with duties which she is to fulfill, this can only be done upon the basis of having knowledge of such obligations, it is therefore necessary upon the woman that she seeks beneficial knowledge.

Ibn al-Jawzī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The woman is a person who is accountable just like the man, it is therefore necessary upon her to seek knowledge of the obligations upon her, in order for her to fulfill them upon certainty. So if she has a father or a brother or a husband or a Mahram who can teach her the obligatory things and make her aware of how to carry out the obligations, then that suffices her, and if it is not to be; then she is to ask and learn.

Therefore, if she is able to find a woman who knows, then she learns from her, otherwise she learns from the Shaikhs and elderly men without being in isolation with her, and she should be frugal according to its necessary duration, and whenever an occurrence comes upon her in her religion, she should ask – and should not be shy, for ALLĀH is not shy from the truth." {Ahkām An-Nisā || Page 12}

Shaikh ‘Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "Seeking knowledge is not exclusive to the men, hence just as it has been legislated for the man that he should seek knowledge; rather it is specified upon him if his worship is not established except by way of it, then it is specified upon him, likewise then is the woman – and there is no difference." {Majmu’ Fatāwa (24/507)}

The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) are regarded as fine examples for womankind and were eminent keepers of knowledge who were referred to as important sources by others including the companions themselves, because they were the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) and thus the mothers of the believers, and it was in their homes that the revelation would often be revealed. ALLĀH, the Most High, said:

وَاذْكُرْنَ مَا يُتْلَىٰ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ لَطِيفًا خَبِيرًا
And remember what is recited in your houses of the verses of ALLĀH and the Hikmah (Wisdom – the Prophetic Sunnah). Indeed ALLĀH is Ever-Subtle, All-Aware. (33:34)

Al-Qurtubi (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said regarding this aayah: "ALLĀH, the Most High, commanded that they should inform with regard to that which is revealed from the Qur’ān in their homes, and that which they see from the actions of the Prophet (ﷺ) as well as that which they hear from his statements – such that they propagate that to the people so that they can act and follow the example." {Jāmi’ li-Ahkām al-Qur’ān (14/184)}

Therefore the likes of ‘Aaishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her) was greatly referred to for knowledge, as was Umm Salamah (may ALLĀH have mercy on her) – who in the words of Adh-Dhahabī was: "From the Fuqahā of the female companions" {Manhaj Ummuhāt al-Mu’minīn fī Da’wah ilallāh || Page 400}

As well as others from the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) who were sought for knowledge and opinions in all aspects of religion.

HOW DOES THE SICK PERSON PRAY?

Shaikh Muhammad bin Sālih Al-‘Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) mentioned:

"First: It is necessary upon the sick person that he prays the obligatory prayer standing – even if it is by stooping/leaning or supporting oneself against a wall, or by way of a stick with which he supports himself.

Second: If he is unable to stand; then he should pray sitting, and what is better is that he should be sat cross-legged when in the position of standing and bowing.

Third: If he is unable to perform the prayer sitting; then he should pray on his side whilst facing the qiblah – and the right side is better. Yet if he is unable to face the qiblah; then he should pray whichever way he is facing and his prayer is correct and there is no need for him to repeat it.

Fourth: If he is unable to pray on his side; then he should pray lying down (on his back) with his legs to the qiblah, and it is better that he raises his head a little in order to face the qiblah. If he is unable to have his feet facing the qiblah; then he should pray as they are, and there is no need for him to repeat it.

Fifth: It is necessary upon the sick person that he makes the bowing and the prostration in his prayer, if he is unable then he should gesture/motion them both with his head, and he should make the prostration to be lower than the bowing. If he is able to make the bowing but not the prostration; then he should bow at the time of bowing and gesture/motion with the prostration, and if he is able to make the prostration but not the bowing; then he should prostrate at the time of prostration and gesture/motion with the bowing.

Sixth: If he is unable to gesture/motion with his head in the bowing and the prostration; then he gestures with his eyes, he closes them a little for the bowing and closes them with more closure for the prostration. As for indicating with the finger as is done by some of the sick people; then it is not correct and I do not know of a basis for it from the Book and the Sunnah or from the statements of the people of knowledge.

Seventh: If he is unable to gesture/motion with the head; nor make indication with the eyes; then he should pray with his heart, therefore he makes takbeer and recites and intends the bowing and the prostration and the standing and the sitting with his heart

"And for every person is that which he intended." {Al-Bukhārī #1 and Muslim #1907}

Eighth: It is obligatory upon the sick person to pray every prayer in its time and that he does all that he is able to do from that which is obligatory in it, so if it is difficult upon him to perform every prayer in its time; then it is for him to combine between the Dhuhr and the ‘Asr prayer and between the Maghrib and ‘Ishaa prayer. Either a preceding combination whereby he brings the ‘Asr prayer earlier to Dhuhr and the ‘Ishā prayer to Maghrib, or either a delayed combination whereby he delays the Dhuhr prayer to ‘Asr and the Maghrib prayer to ‘Ishā according to what is easier for him. As for Fajr, then it cannot be combined to that which is before it – or to that which is after it.

Ninth: If the sick person is a traveler and is seeking medical treatment in other than his country; then he can shorten the four unit prayer, so he prays Dhuhr and ‘Asr and ‘Ishaa as two units, two units until he returns to his country, whether the duration of his journey is long or short.”

THE OBLIGATION OF THE PRAYER UPON THE SICK PERSON

Although illness can make it difficult to perform prayers, the Shariah does not waive the obligation to pray for sick individuals.

Shaikh ‘Abdul-‘Azīz bin Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "It is impermissible to abandon the prayer in any situation from the circumstances, rather it is obligatory upon the one who is under obligation that he be ardent over the prayer in the days of his sickness more than his ardency upon it in the days of his sound health. Therefore it is impermissible for him to abandon the obligatory prayer until its time elapses – even if he be sick – for as long as he is of sound mind, rather it is upon him to carry it out in its time according to his ability. Therefore if he leaves it deliberately whilst he is of sound mind, knowledgeable of the legislative ruling, and is one who is under obligation to do so and has the strength to carry it out – even if it be by way of gesture/motion; then he is sinful." {Majmu’ Fatāwa (12/244)}
 
Shaikh ‘Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) mentioned: "That which is necessary upon the sick person who has sound intellect is that he should pray the prayer in accordance to his circumstance, ALLĀH, the Most High, said:

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
So fear ALLĀH as much as you are able. (64:16)

Likewise the Prophet (ﷺ) said to ‘Imrān bin Hussain: 'Pray standing, if you cannot do so then sitting, if you cannot do so then lying upon a side.' {Al-Bukhārī #1117}
 
So that which is necessary upon the sick person – for as long as his intellect is sound is that he is to pray standing, if he cannot do so then he is to sit, and if he cannot do so then whilst lying upon a side. So he gestures with his head, and if he is incapable (of that) then it has been said that he is to gesture with the eyes and it has likewise been said that he is to pray with his heart, as for his abandonment of the prayer because he becomes tired – whilst he is able to carry it out; then this is a great error.

Furthermore; ALLĀH has indeed facilitated ease for the sick person from a third aspect; and that is that he can combine between two prayers: between the Dhuhr prayer and the ‘Asr prayer, and between the Maghrib prayer and the ‘Ishā prayer if it is difficult for him to pray each prayer in its time. As for the abandonment of the prayer, then this is haraam (forbidden) – impermissible." {Al-Liqā-āt ash-Shahriyyah {1/511)}

May ALLĀH grant our sick ones complete healing and the ability to fulfill their religious obligations.

THINGS THAT ASSIST IN PRACTICING PATIENCE (SABR)

Nothing is more difficult in this life than maintaining patience (sabr), be it patience for not acquiring what you love or being patient when afflicted with difficulties—especially when patience stretches for long periods of time or when people become desperate for relief.

It is therefore required a person to have enough supplies to help him travel through the journey. Types of such supplies vary, some of which require contemplating the amount of hardship and thinking how much worse it could have been; knowing that there are more severe level of hardships than yours such as the calamity of losing a parent or a child and so forth; hoping to be replaced with a better situation in this life, and thinking of the reward in the Hereafter; appreciating the praise that people will accord for your patience and the reward that awaits from ALLĀH; knowing that packing and becoming alarmed does not help the situation but rather makes it scandalous.

There are many other types of supplies that the mind and intellect can come up with. For these supplies are the only things that can be of use during the journey of patience, that a patient person ought to occupy himself with during his trials and calamity.

For indeed the destination has come near.

SUNNAH FASTS IN SHAWWĀL

SUGGESTED 6 DAYS PLAN TO FAST

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” {Muslim}

Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said to me: "If you fast any part of the month, then fast the 13th, 14th, and 15th." {An-Nasai #2424}

Strive, Brothers and Sisters! Action so small, yet, reward soooooooo big. Six days in Shawwāl only, added onto 29 days of Ramadān and the reward of a year's fasting is promised. SubḥānAllāh!

THE PUNISHMENT FOR DEALING WITH RIBA (INTEREST AND USURY)

ALLĀH says,

الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلاَّ كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ
Those who consume Riba will not stand ˹on the Day of Resurrection˺ except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaytan leading him to insanity.

Here ALLĀH  tells us of the bad end and hardship that those who consume riba will face: they will not rise from their graves on the Day of Resurrection to stand "except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaytan leading him to insanity." So they will rise from their graves confused and shaky, as if they are drunk, expecting a severe punishment. That is because they thought and said:

إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا
Trading is only like Riba.

Such a statement would only come from one who is very ignorant or one who ignores what he knows out of stubbornness. So ALLĀH will requite them in an appropriate manner, and they will become like insane people. It may be understood from the words "˹they˺ will not stand ˹on the Day of Resurrection˺ except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaytan leading him to insanity." that when they lost their minds in seeking to earn through riba, they became very foolish and unable to think properly. Their appearance and movements will be like those of insane people, with a complete lack of coordination and loss of rational thinking.

ALLĀH says, responding to them and explaining HIS great wisdom:

وَأَحَلَّ اللّهُ الْبَيْعَ
but ALLĀH has permitted trade

because it serves the public interest and there is a great need for it, and because prohibiting it would cause great harm. This is the basis for the permissibility of all ways of earning money, unless there is a text to indicate that something is not permitted.

وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا
and forbidden riba

because of what it entails of wrongdoing and evil consequences. Riba is of two types: riba nasī'ah (pay now, or pay an increased amount later); and riba fadl, which involves trading two things of the same type, where one is greater in quantity than the other. Both are haram, according to the Qur’an and Sunnah, and according to the consensus of the scholars in the case of riba nasee’ah; those who permitted riba fadl held an odd view that is contrary to the abundant texts. Rather riba is one of the major sins that may doom a person to hell.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

#sadi #baqarah (2:275)

Narrated Samura bin Jundab (may ALLĀH be pleased with him): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This night I dreamt that two men came and took me to a Holy land whence we proceeded on till we reached a river of blood, where a man was standing, and on its bank was standing another man with stones in his hands. The man in the middle of the river tried to come out, but the other threw a stone in his mouth and forced him to go back to his original place. So, whenever he tried to come out, the other man would throw a stone in his mouth and force him to go back to his former place. I asked, 'Who is this?' I was told, 'The person in the river was a Riba-eater." {Al-Bukhārī #2085}

THE MOST REWARDABLE CHARITY

Abu Hurairah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: There came a man to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of ALLĀH, which charity is the most rewardable?''

He (ﷺ) said, "That you should give charity ˹in a state when you are˺ healthy and stingy and fear poverty, hoping to become rich ˹charity in such a state of health and mind is the best˺. And you must not defer ˹charity to such a length˺ that you are about to die and would be saying: 'This is for so-and-so, and this for so-and-so.' Lo! It has already come into ˹the possession of˺ so-and-so". {Al-Bukhari and Muslim}

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn: Book 1, Chapter 10, Hadith 90}

Hafiz Salahudeen Yusuf said: "Charity in the real sense is that which a person gives when he is healthy. If a person gives charity when he is facing death, it does not have much value before ALLĀH. Moreover, in that condition he cannot give more than one-third of his property in charity because then it becomes the property of his successors, which cannot be spent even in the way of ALLĀH. For this reason ALLĀH has prescribed a limit in this respect, according to which if a person going through a mortal disease wants to give his property in charity or donate it for some charitable purpose, he cannot spend more than one-third of it on this account. This injunction is an inducement for people to hurry in doing good deeds, especially in the matter of alms and charity. In fact, he should do it without delay.

HADITH ON KEEPING SECRETS

Thabit (May ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: Anas (May ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of ALLĀH  ﷺ came to me while I was playing with the boys. He greeted us and sent me on an errand. This delayed my return to my mother. When I came to her, she asked, "What detained you?" I said; "Messenger of ALLĀH  ﷺ sent me on an errand". She asked, "What was it?" I said, "It is a secret". My mother said; "Do not disclose to anyone the secret of Messenger of ALLĀH  ﷺ". Anas (May ALLĀH be pleased with him) said to Thabit (May ALLĀH be pleased with him): By ALLĀH, were I to tell it to anyone I would have told you." {Muslim}

LESSONS AND BENEFITS:

• An indication of the Prophet's noble character and humility.

• Recommendation that the old should greet a group of young children.

• The obligation to respect and obey the Prophet's orders and instructions.

• The rights of the Prophet ﷺ are greater than the parents' rights.

• Teach children good values from a young age so they can grow up as righteous individuals in society.

• It is essential to follow parents' instructions and advice, especially when they align with the Shariah.

• Upholding truthfulness even if you are alone in doing so.

🌙 LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE IT'S RAMADĀN!

Once again, Ramadān, the month in which ALLĀH bestowed upon us so many of HIS favors has come and gone so quickly...

Alhamdulillah, for many of us, it was a time of self-reflection, to better ourselves spiritually and engage in various acts of worship to gain the pleasure of ALLĀH. But what happens now that we’ve just entered Shawwāl? Do we keep firm to this character we developed or slowly go back to our original state before Ramadān?

It was said: “If a Muslim continues to have the patience to do righteous deeds after Ramadān, this is a sign that his (fasting) has been accepted by his Lord, the Most Generous, the Bestower of blessings. If he fails to do righteous deeds after Ramadān and follows the ways of the Shaytān, this is a sign of humiliation, meanness, lowly status, and being deprived of the help of ALLĀH.”

Whatever acts of worship we took up in Ramadān, be it fasting, spending the nights in prayer, or just generally doing good deeds, we must try to keep up this compliance and continue to be as obedient to ALLĀH as we were in Ramadān.

Remaining steadfast proves to us that we have gained something beneficial from the holy month and that we didn’t just fast or spent greater time in worship for the sake of it being Ramadān. We should treat Ramadān, not as a one-off, but as a starting point to do good deeds, improve our spiritual awareness and come closer to ALLĀH for what remains of our lifetime.

ALLĀH says:
(وَٱعۡبُدۡ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ یَأۡتِیَكَ ٱلۡیَقِینُ)
“And worship your LORD until the certainty (death) comes to you.” [15:99]

Ibn Umar reported: A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ), “Which of the believers is the wisest?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Those who remember death often and have best prepared for it with good deeds; such are the wisest.” [Sunan Ibn Ma‌jah 4259]

But many of us wonder how we can keep the spirit of Ramadān going. In Ramadān, it seems to naturally fall in place, with us fasting in daylight hours, observing night prayers, giving charity, and reciting the Qur’an, while pondering over its meaning.

However, ALLĀH is so bountiful, that HE allows us to do each one of these acts throughout the year, just to name a few:

• We can still keep voluntary fasts (6 fasts of Shawwaal to begin with, already at our doorsteps).

• We can continue to perform night prayers.

• We can give to Charity and feed the poor and the needy all year round.

• And of course, we can recite the Qur’an anywhere and at any time.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“The best deeds are those done regularly even if they are few.” [Ibn Majah 4240]

Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As (رضي الله عنه) reported: The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said to me, "Do not be like so-and-so O 'Abdullāh! He used to pray during the night, then stopped the practice.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

We ask ALLĀH to grant us the understanding, accept our good deeds, and keep us steadfast on HIS straight path. آمِيْن

WHAT IS AFTER RAMADĀN?

PART 1⃣

There is absolutely no doubt that every fasting person who fasted the month of Ramadān and every person who stood in prayer during its nights earnestly hopes that his fast and prayer will be righteous and accepted, and that his endeavor is rewarded. He calls upon ALLĀH with invocations to grant him this desire and to confer upon him this wish.

There are signs that allude to the acceptance [of an action], indications that point towards this and characteristics which in their presence it is hoped that this goal has been reached.

From these signs is that the individual finds himself upon more good, uprightness and obedience after Ramadān than prior to it. He performs his worship with fervor and dedication. He guards the compulsory matters and obligations, and he performs the prayer in the Masjid along with the congregation. He loves good, acts upon it and commands with it; and he hates evil, abandons it and warns against it.

As for the one whose condition is the same after Ramadān or worse than it - he is reckless in his transgression and misguidance, lazy in fulfilling the obligations and neglects them, and engrossed in forbidden acts and encourages with them - then these are signs of clear loss and a lack of prosperity.

He did not seize the opportunities in the season of obedience, he did not pursue its gifts in the season of bounties and he did not ask ALLĀH for forgiveness nor exhaust its means in the month of forgiveness and pleasure. What a great loss! What a serious calamity! What a terrifying outcome and punishment!

BENEFIT 22: REGARDING POSTPARTUM BLEEDING

● Postpartum Bleeding (Nifas) Timing

There is no minimum limit for the duration of postpartum bleeding:

The scholars have unanimously agreed (¹) that whenever she (a woman) sees that she has become pure (i.e., the bleeding has stopped) — even if it is before forty days — she must perform ghusl (ritual purification), start praying, and her husband may have intercourse with her.

As for the maximum period a woman should wait if the bleeding continues, the majority of scholars hold that the maximum duration of nifas is forty days. After that, she must perform ghusl and begin praying. They based this ruling on the hadith of Umm Salamah, who said: "During the time of the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ, women in postpartum bleeding used to remain (refrain from prayer, etc.) for forty days or forty nights." (²)

📖 Sahih Fiqhus-Sunnah wa Adillatuhu (1/215)

Refrences:

(1) Reported by At-Tirmidhi in his Sunan (1/429).

(2) Reported by Abu Dawood (307), At-Tirmidhi (139), and Ibn Majah (648). There is a difference of opinion regarding its authenticity, with the more correct view being that it is weak — and ALLĀH knows best — but the practice is based on it.

أما أقصى مدة تنتظرها المرأة إذا استمر بها الدم فذهب الجمهور إلى أن أقصى مدة النفاس أربعون يوما ثم تغتسل وتصلى واستدلوا بحديث أم سلمة قالت: "كانت النفساء على عهد رسول الله ﷺ تقعد بعد نفاسها أربعين يوما أو أربعين ليلة" (٢).

THE FAVOR THAT ALLĀH GRANTED BY SENDING MUHAMMAD (ﷺ)

ALLĀH the Exalted said,


هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الاُْمِّيِّينَ رَسُولاً مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ ايَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَإلٍ مُّبِينٍ
He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them HIS Ayat, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the Hikmah. And verily, they had been before in manifest error.

In ancient times, the Arabs used to adhere by the religion of Ibrahim, peace be upon him. They later changed, corrupted and contradicted it, choosing polytheism instead of Tawhid and doubts instead of certainty. They invented a religion that ALLĀH did not legislate, just as the People of the Scriptures did when they changed and corrupted their Divine Books. ALLĀH sent Muhammad, with a great divine legislation, perfect religion that is suitable for all humans and Jinns.

In it, there is guidance and explanations of all that they need in this life and the Hereafter. It draws them closer to Paradise and ALLĀH's pleasure and takes them away from the Fire and earning ALLĀH's anger.

In it, there is the final judgement for all types of doubts and suspicion for all major and minor matters of the religion.

In Muhammad, ALLĀH gathered all the good qualities of the Prophets before him, and gave him what HE has never given the earlier and later generations of mankind.

May ALLĀH's peace and blessings be on Muhammad until the Day of Judgement.

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his ˹own˺ desire, and ALLĀH has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after ALLĀH? Then will you not be reminded?

And they say, "There is nothing beyond our worldly life. We die; others are born. And nothing destroys us but ˹the passage of˺ time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.

And whenever OUR clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say: "Bring our forefathers back, if what you say is true!"

Say, ALLĀH causes you to live, then causes you to die; then HE will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know.

MIXING TRADE WITH CHARITY

Abu Wa'il narrated that Qais bin Abi Gharazah said: "The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) came to us, and we were what was called 'brokers,' he said: 'O people of trade! Indeed the Shaitan and sin are present in the sale, so mix your sales with charity'." {At-Tirmidhi #1208}

In another narration, he (ﷺ) said: "O company of merchants, unprofitable speech and swearing takes place in business dealings, so mix it with charity." {Abū Dāwūd #3326}

LESSONS AND BENEFITS:

• Even while engaging in worldly pursuits like trade or business, remain conscious of your faith and duties to ALLĀH.

• Permissibility of trade.

• Set aside a specific portion of your sales profits to donate to charity as it purifies wealth and earns the pleasure of ALLĀH.

• Good deeds wipe away bad deeds.

• Always seek the help of ALLĀH to guard against the influence of Shaytan in your business dealings.

• Strive to be honest and transparent in your trades. Avoid lies, deceptions, and unnecessary oath.

And ALLĀH knows best.

BENEFITS 18: REGARDING COITUS AT THE END OF MENSTRUATION

If a woman becomes pure from menstruation, it is not permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her until she has performed ghusl (ritual purification). ALLĀH says: "And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them as ALLĀH has commanded you." (¹)

Mujāhid said: "For women, there are two purities. The purity in HIS saying 'until they are pure' means when they perform ghusl, and she is not lawful for her husband until she purifies herself." HE says: "Then come to them as ALLĀH has commanded you" —from the place where the blood exits. If he does not approach her as ALLĀH has commanded, then he is neither among those who repent nor among those who purify themselves." (²)

The scholars unanimously agree that a woman’s husband may not approach her—even if she sees that her menstruation has ended—until she has performed ghusl, except for Ibn Hazm, who held a differing view.

A question arises: If a Muslim man's wife is from the People of the Book (i.e., a Christian or Jewish woman), is she required to perform ghusl?

The answer is: She is required to perform ghusl, and it is not permissible for her husband to approach her until she performs ghusl, because the verse does not specify between a Muslim woman and others. (³)

فائدة:

إذا طهرت المرأة من الحيض فلا يحل لزوجها أن يجامعها إلا إذا اغتسلت. فقد قال تعالى : {وَلا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللهُ} (١).

قال مجاهد للنساء طهران طهر قوله تعالى {حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ} أي: إذا اغتسلن ولا تحل٧ لزوجها حتى تغتسل، يقول {فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللهُ} من حيث يخرج الدم فإن لم يأتها من حيث أمر الله فليس من التوابين ولا من المتطهرين (٢)

وقد أطبق أهل العلم على أن المرأة لا ياتيها زوجها - وإن رأت الطهر - حتى تغتسل، خلافا لابن حزم.

وهنا سؤال: إذا كانت زوجة المسلم كتابية فهل تجبر على الاغتسال أم لا؟

والجواب : أنها تجبر على الاغتسال ولا يجوز لزوجها أن يقربها إلا بعد أن تغتسل لأن الآية لم تخص مسلمة من غيرها (٣).

SAY I BELIEVE IN ALLĀH, REMAIN STEADFAST

Sufyan bin 'Abdullāh (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

I said, "O Messenger of ALLĀH, tell me something of Islam which I will not ask anyone else about it.''

He (ﷺ) said, "Say, 'I believe in ALLĀH' and then be steadfast". {Muslim}.

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn: Book 1, Chapter 8, Hadith 85}

Hafiz Salahudeen Yusuf (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) commented: "Steadfastness means adhering firmly to the injunctions of Islam, to act upon what is ordained and avoid what is prohibited, to perform dutifully orders in respect of obligations and what is regarded desirable and avoid what is unlawful. Faith is not a mere expression of Shahadah. The real Faith is one which is coupled with its actual practice because practice of religion is in fact the fruit of Faith. A tree which does not bear any fruit, has no value, similarly; faith becomes meaningless without practice. Steadfastness is the mark of perfect Faith."

PARABLE OF THE ONE LACKING IN RELIGIOUS COMMITMENT

ALLĀH says,

وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَالَّتِي نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِن بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَاثًا
And be not like her who undoes the thread which she has spun, after it has become strong.

By breaking your covenants, like the worst example that is most indicative of the foolishness of the one who breaks his covenant, which is the likeness of the woman who spins a strong thread, then when it has become strong as expected, she undoes it and breaks it into strands, because she got tired of spinning it, then when she undid it she got tired again, so she did not gain anything except frustration, tiredness, foolishness and lack of reasoning. This is like the one who breaks the covenant he made: he is a wrongdoer and a fool who is lacking in religious commitment and dignity.

THE SIX FAST OF SHAWWAL

Abu Ayyub (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "He who observes fast in the month of Ramadān, and also observes fast for six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has observed fast for the whole year.'' {Muslim}

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn: Book 9, Chapter 228, Hadith 1254}

Hafiz Salahudeen Yusuf commented: "According to the formula that there is at least ten-fold reward for every virtue, the fast of one month (Ramadān) are equivalent to fast of ten months. If one also observes six days of fast of Shawwal, they will be equal to fast of two months. Thus, one becomes eligible for the reward of one full years' Saum. He who makes it a permanent feature is like one who observes Saum throughout his life. He will be considered by ALLĀH as one who observes fast permanently.

Although voluntary in nature, they are highly important. One can observe these six-day Saum at a stretch or with intervals, but their observance one after the other at the beginning of the month is better.

Similarly, if a person has missed some fast of Ramadān due to illness, travelling etc., he should first make up the shortfall and then observe the voluntary six-day fast of Shawwal."

📖 Sharḥ Riyādhus-Saliḥīn

GUIDANCE FROM THE HADITH:

1⃣. A good deed is rewarded with ten times as much. So, the fasting of Ramadān is equal to ten months. The six days in Shawwal equal sixty days, namely two months. This adds up to a whole year.

2⃣. It states the promised reward for those who fast the entire Ramadān along with six days in Shawwal even if the six days were not in succession.

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen (may ALLĀH have mercy on him)  said,

“It is highly recommended to recite the Eid takbeer during the night of Eid from sunset on the last day Ramadān until the Imam attends and leads the prayer. The prescribed  manner and wording of the takbeer is as follows:

الله أكبر الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، الله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa Lillaahil-Hamd

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, none has the right to be worshipped [in truth] but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise.

You can say the first set of Allahu Akbar three times instead of two and this way is permitted too.

Men should raise their voices reciting this rememberance and commemoration of Allah in the marketplaces, mosques and homes, but women should not raise their voices.”

1⃣ What is the ruling of Zakāt-ul-Fitr?

2⃣ What can be given out as Zakāt-ul-Fitr?

Ibn Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "A measurement of a Saa' (3 liters) of food like dates, barley, raisins, or anything similar from these types. The correct statement from the scholars is any food from the land of the people that will nourish them like rice, corn and the likes."

3⃣ When can one give out the Zakāt-ul-Fitr?

Ibn Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "One can give the Zakāt-ul-Fitr on the 28th, 29th, 30th (of Ramadān), the night of Eid, or on the morning of Eid before the prayer." {Al-Fatāwa (14/32-33)}

4⃣ Who are the recipients of Zakāt-ul-Fitr?

6⃣ Is it permissible to give money as Zakāt-ul-Fitr?

Ibn Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "No, it is not permissible to give money as Zakāt-ul-Fitr as is the statement of many scholars. That is because giving money opposes what has been related from the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions (may ALLĀH be pleased with them)." {Al-Fatāwa (14/32)}

7⃣ Does one have to have a certain amount of wealth in order to give Zakāt-ul-Fitr?

Ibn Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "There is no limit for one to reach. Rather, Zakāt-ul-Fitr is obligatory upon every Muslim to give out on behalf of themselves and on behalf of their families from among their children and spouses who live with them." {Al-Fatāwa (14/197)}

Ibn Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The sunnah is to distribute the Zakātul Fitr to the poor in one's own land they are living in without sending it to another land. This is done to suffice the poor and needy in one's land and attend to their needs." {Al-Fatāwa (14/213)}

9⃣ Does Zakāt-ul-Fitr have to be paid for the fetus?

Ibn Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "It is not an obligation to pay for the fetus in the womb, it is only considered to be highly recommended."

1⃣2⃣ Can one delay distributing Zakāt-ul-Fitr until after the Eid prayer without an excuse?

Ibn Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: "It is impermissible to delay distributing Zakāt-ul-Fitr until after the prayer. If one does this then he/she will not be rewarded as one who distributed the Zakāh. Rather, it will be considered as regular charity." {Al-Fatāwa: 18/266}

🌙 ZAKĀT-UL-FITR

Fitr means to break fast or to refrain from fasting. Hence the Eid after the fasts of Ramadān is called Eid-ul-Fitr, as it is the day of rejoicing after the completion of fasting. On this occasion of happiness, as a sign of gratitude, one has to give a specific amount of food in alms, which is called Zakāt-ul-Fitr. To purify and obtain complete blessings for the fasts of Ramadān one has to give Zakāt al-fitr.

It was reported by Ibn Abbās (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) that the Prophet ﷺ made Zakāt-ul-fitr compulsory so that those who fasted may be purified of their idle deeds and shameful talk (committed during Ramadān) and so that the poor may be fed. Whoever gives it before the prayer, it is Zakat-ul-Fitr, and whoever gives it after the prayer, it is ordinary charity. {Abū Dawūd #1609}

Zakāt-ul-Fitr becomes obligatory on every Muslim, male or female, adult or child, at the end of Ramadān as long as he/she has the means to do so, even those who have not fasted during the month of Ramadān for any valid reason.

Ibn ‘Umar (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) said: “The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ made giving a saa’ of dates or a saa’ of barley as Zakāt-ul-Fitr an obligation for all Muslims, slave and free, male and female, young and old, and ordered that it should be given before the people went out to pray (Salāt-ul-Eid).” {Al-Bukhari #1503 and Muslim #984}

It is permissible to pay it one or two days before that, because of the report narrated by Ibn 'Umar (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) who said: "The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) enjoined sadaqat al-fitr in Ramadan."

According to another report, they used to pay it one or two days before the end of Ramadān.

Whoever delays it after its time has sinned, and he has to repent for delaying and give it to the poor.

The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas (al-Lajnah ad-Dā'imah li'l-Ifta, 9/386) were asked: What is the ruling on someone who was able to give zakat al-fitr but did not?

They replied: "The one who did not give zakat al-fitr must repent to ALLĀH, may HE be glorified and exalted, and ask HIM for forgiveness, because he has sinned by withholding it. He must also give it to those who are entitled to it, although after the Eid prayer it is regarded as ordinary charity."

It should noted that a saa' is approximately equivalent to three kilograms. It is acceptable to give a saa' of the local staple food such as wheat, corn, rice, beans, lentils, chickpeas, foul (fava beans), pasta, meat and so on. etc.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The correct view is that anything that may be a staple food, whether it is grains, fruit, meat and so on, is acceptable." {Ash-Sharh al-Mumti' (6/183)}

THE REASONS FOR GIVING ZAKĀT-UL-FITR

1⃣. To give Zakāt-ul-Fitr in lieu of the acceptance of one’s fasting.

2⃣. To thank ALLĀH for bestowing on us the strength to fast during the month of Ramadān.

3⃣. To purify one’s fast and obtain the complete blessings of fasting.

4⃣. To celebrate the completion of fasting.

5⃣. To demonstrate the greatness of the day of Eid.

6⃣. To assist the poor in joining the atmosphere of Eid.
