نعوذ بالله من الشماتة It's ascribed to Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah that he said: "لو استطاع أهل الباطل أن يُلصقوا بالداعية إلى الله أنه يأتي أمه لفعلوا" “If the people of falsehood were able to attribute to a daa'ee the claim that he even goes to his own mother, they would do it.”

Now that we've looked at the dangers of blindly believing allegations and the importance of verifying claims, let's look at another part of this case study: Do pictures of bruises, marks, or injuries automatically prove abuse? Generally speaking, no. In Islam, judgments are based on evidence, not assumptions. A photo may raise concerns and justify further investigation, but suspicion is not the same as proof. A photo doesn't automatically establish: 1⃣. If the injury is real Photos can be edited, filtered, manipulated, or even deep faked. Sometimes things are not as they appear [https://t.me/womensbenefits/1709]. 2⃣. Who caused the injury Even if the injury is real, that doesn't automatically tell us who caused it. It could have been caused by another person, an accident, a medical condition, self-inflicted, or something else. 3⃣. When it happened A photo only captures a moment in time. Without other evidence, we may not know when the injury occurred. 4⃣. How it happened A bruise can come from many different causes. A picture alone usually can't tell us whether it came from abuse, an accident, a fall, sports, a medical issue, and so on. 5⃣. The full context Pictures don't tell the whole story. What happened before the injury? Was there self-defence involved? Is the image presenting the full situation or only part of it? These are important questions. 6⃣. Whether the allegation is true An injury does not automatically prove the story attached to it. Claims still need evidence. As the Prophet ﷺ said: "The burden of proof is upon the claimant, and the oath is upon the one who denies." What strengthens a claim is corroboration: witnesses, admissions, medical reports, messages, forensic evidence, and other supporting evidence. So while photos may be part of the evidence, they cannot by themselves conclusively prove that a specific person committed abuse.

HOW NOT TO REACT Real Comments Left on the Post "VILE!!!! Lock him up and throw away the key" "Why are these people in my country" "He should be in the rat cage without clothes on" "Shouldn't take long, please update his face pictures after you deal with him" "His days are surely now numbered" "If this incident was in Birmingham it would have long been put to bed" "Little man syndrome!!!!! Hope a 6 footer bumps into him!!!!!" "Poor girl, hope he's locked up soon — bit of prison justice will teach him, the dirty stinking dog" "Coward. Scumbag." "Women abuser" "Why isn't this on the news" "If he is in Poplar, he's most probably faced justice by now" Read those again slowly. These are not the words of people seeking justice. These are the words of a digital mob — angry, reactive, and completely certain of something they cannot possibly verify. And then came the truth. ------------------ The Twist The story was entirely fabricated! The man in the photos had nothing to do with the attack. It was his ex-girlfriend — acting out of spite — who posted his pictures online to get him into serious trouble. Now ask yourself: what if someone had acted out those comments? What if a "zealous individual" had taken matters into their own hands? An innocent man could have been hospitalised — or worse — because of a post no one stopped to question. This is why C.A.U.T.I.O.N. is necessary! Allah says: “O you who believe! If an evil person comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done.” [Surah Al-Hujurat:6]

Case Study: Viral Warning Post — A Community Alert or a False Allegation? ---------------------- The Scenario A post circulates on social media claiming that a man in a London borough has been harassing and assaulting Muslim women near a local college and masjid. The post includes a physical description, alleged aliases, and photos. It claims the individual is on the sex offenders register. The post spreads rapidly through community WhatsApp groups and Telegram channels. The Question: How should you respond — whether you are the one being accused, or a third party who has received the post? ---------------------- If You Are the One Being Accused — S.A.B.R. S — Stay calm and grounded A post like this can spread to hundreds within minutes. The natural response is panic, anger, or the urge to retaliate publicly. Resist this. Emotional reactions often worsen the situation and can be used against you. A — Ask Allah for help Allah is the Best Disposer of affairs and He knows the truth of every matter. When Prophet Yusuf ﷺ was falsely accused he turned to Allah, saying: "My Lord, prison is more beloved to me than what they invite me to." B — Block the spread with truth Address the matter calmly, honestly and directly with those who matter — trusted community figures, family, or if necessary, through legal channels. Do not engage in a public back-and-forth on social media. Allah says: "O you who have believed, be mindful of Allah and be with the truthful." [At-Tawbah: 119] R — Rise above it Your character over time is your greatest defence. Those who know you will not be swayed by an anonymous post. Continue doing good, maintain your dignity, and let your conduct speak. Allah says: "Be persistently standing firm in justice." [An-Nisa: 135] ------------------- If You Received the Post — C.A.U.T.I.O.N. C — Check authenticity before believing or sharing Ask yourself: Who made this post? Is there a verifiable source? Anonymous social media posts with photos are not evidence of guilt. A — Assess the context Could this be a personal dispute? A vendetta? Mistaken identity? Context matters enormously. Many viral "warning" posts have later been proven false, with the accused suffering irreversible reputational damage. U — Understand there are two sides You have heard one account. You have not heard from the accused, nor seen any investigation or due process. T — Think before reacting Do not forward, screenshot, or comment out of emotion. If the allegation is false, every share is an act of injustice. I — Ignore what does not benefit your deen If you have no direct involvement and no ability to verify, staying out of it entirely is often the most correct position. O — Observe restraint Do not rush to take sides, rally others, or publicly condemn someone before the truth is established. N — Never pass on rumours or hearsay The Prophet ﷺ warned: "It is enough falsehood for a person to repeat everything they hear." Allah says: "O you who believe, if a wicked person comes to you with news, verify it, lest you harm people out of ignorance and become regretful over what you have done."

UPDATE: The two remaining camels have both been slaughtered.

Ruling on Different Eid Times Between the Person Giving the Udhiyah and the One Slaughtering It

The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Fatwas was asked:

Someone asked us about a relative who is in the United States for medical treatment. He authorised him to buy and slaughter his udhiyah in Saudi Arabia. The question is: can he slaughter the sacrifice after praying Eid where he is in Saudi Arabia, even though Eid prayer time has not yet begun for his relative in the United States? He based this on the Prophet’s saying: ‘Fasting is the day you all fast, breaking the fast is the day you all break the fast, and sacrifice is the day you all offer sacrifice.’ If he does that, is there anything required of him?”

They replied:

It is PERMISSIBLE for the person acting on behalf of another in offering the udhiyah to slaughter it after the Eid prayer according to his own LOCAL TIME, not the time of the person who appointed him, because the representative takes the place of the one who appointed him. It does not matter that the slaughter takes place before the time of slaughter begins in the country where the owner of the udhiyah is staying.” [End Quote] Signed by: Salih Al-Fawzan, Abdullah ibn Ghudayyan, Abdulaziz Aal Ash-Sheikh, Abdullah Al-Mutlaq, Abdullah Ar-Rukban, and Ahmad Al-Mubarki. If one delays the slaughter until Eid prayer time begins in the country of the person who appointed him, that is safer to avoid the differing, because the time for offering the udhiyah is broad and lasts until the end of the days of Tashreeq.

UPDATE [Viewer discretion advised!] The following Udḥiyah animals have now all been sacrificed: • 2 cows • 17 goats • 13 sheep The concerned parties can now trim their hair and clip their nails. May Allah accept your sacrifices. The remaining 2 camels will be slaughtered tomorrow, in shā’ Allāh. A further update will be provided in due course, in shā’ Allāh.

And whoever has an excuse preventing them from attending should pray two rak‘ahs at home according to the view of the majority of the scholars. And our final supplication is that all praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. https://t.me/madrasatunaa/287

The second form: الله أكبر، الله أكبر كبيرا، الله أكبر تكبيرا، الله أكبر وأجل، الله أكبر ولله الحمد This wording is established from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). There is ample room in this matter, so a person may recite whichever form is easiest for them. SIXTHLY: Salah precedes khutbah The ‘Eid prayer is offered before the khutbah due to the hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and ‘Umar would all perform the ‘Eid prayer before the Khutbah. [Reported by Al-Bukhari (963) and Muslim (888)]. His statement “before the khutbah” indicates that it was a single khutbah. This is also supported by the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), reported by Al-Bukhari (962) and Muslim (884), and the hadith of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), reported by Al-Bukhari (958) and Muslim (885). Had the Prophet ﷺ delivered two khutbahs, this would have been transmitted to us. As for the inference that he ﷺ delivered one khutbah to the men and then went to the women separately, there is no evidence except that he delivered one khutbah to the men. However, it is permissible for the khatib to approach the women’s section afterward and admonish them, just as the Prophet ﷺ did. SEVENTHLY: listening to the khutbah is recommended Attending the ‘Eid khutbah is recommended and not obligatory. Likewise, listening attentively to it is not obligatory, and one may speak during it unless doing so causes annoyance to others, in which case speaking becomes prohibited from that aspect. EIGHTHLY: Eid Prayer is two rak'ahs The ‘Eid prayer consists of two rak‘ahs. There are no voluntary prayers before or after it, based on the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet ﷺ prayed two rak‘ahs on the day of ‘Eid and did not pray anything before or after them. [Narrated by Al-Bukhari (964) and Muslim (884)]. Likewise, there is no adhan or iqamah for it, based on the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ performed the ‘Eid prayer without any adhan or iqamah. [Narrated by Abu Dawood (1147) with an authentic chain]. It is also reported by Al-Bukhari (7325) with the wording: “He did not mention any adhan or iqamah.” And likewise by Muslim (884). NINTHLY: The Takbirs During the ‘Eid Prayer In the first rak‘ah there are seven takbirs, including the opening takbir (Takbirat al-Ihram), and in the second rak‘ah there are five takbirs, including the transitional takbir, based on the hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) in which the Prophet ﷺ said: “The takbirs in ‘Eid al-Fitr are seven in the first rak‘ah and five in the second, and the recitation comes after them in both.” [Narrated by Abu Dawood (1151), and it is hasan li Ghayrihi]. As for including the opening and transitional takbirs in the count, this is established from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), as found in Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (2/173). As for raising the hands during the additional takbirs of the ‘Eid prayer, this has not been authentically established from the Prophet ﷺ apart from the opening takbir. This is the madhhab of Malik and Ath-Thawri. Likewise, there is no specific dhikr between each takbir, and nothing authentic is reported from the Prophet ﷺ regarding saying a dhikr after every takbir. This is the madhhab of Malik, Al-Awza‘i, and Abu Hanifah, and it was the view chosen by Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله. The additional takbirs of the ‘Eid prayer are Sunnah and not obligatory. Therefore, the prayer is not invalidated if they are omitted deliberately or forgetfully. There is no known difference of opinion among the scholars regarding this, as transmitted by Ibn Qudamah in Al-Mughni (3/275). TENTHLY: Missing the ‘Eid Prayer or Arriving Late Whoever misses the ‘Eid prayer with the Imam should pray two rak‘ahs with the additional takbirs in the same manner as the Imam. Likewise, if a person arrives after the prayer while the Imam is delivering the khutbah, they should pray and then listen to the khutbah.

10 Rulings Related to ‘Eid Al-Adha By Sheikh Abu Al-‘Abbas Yunus Al-Khateeb hafidhahullah بـــســـم الـــلـــه الـــرحـــمـــن الـــرحـــيـــم All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone, having no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad ﷺ is His slave and Messenger. To proceed: The Islamic celebrations legislated by Allah are few in number, and from them is ‘Eid Al-Adha. Here are the most important rulings related to this ‘Eid: FIRSTLY: The Time of the ‘Eid Prayer It begins after sunrise due to the hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn Busr, reported by Abu Dawood (1135) and collected in Sahih Al-Musnad (557) of Imam Muqbil ibn Hadi Al-Wadi‘i rahimahullah (https://sunnah.com/abudawud:1135?utm_source=chatgpt.com) It ends once the sun reaches its zenith (zawal), due to the hadith of Abu ‘Umair ibn Anas on the authority of his paternal uncles, reported by Ahmad (5/57–58) with an authentic chain. (https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:1653?utm_source=chatgpt.com) The point of evidence is that the Prophet ﷺ instructed them to pray the following morning rather than that same evening. SECONDLY: Better to first eat from one’s Udhiyah On this ‘Eid, the scholars recommend that a person should not eat anything until after performing Salat Al-‘Eid, based on the hadith of Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “The Prophet ﷺ would not go out on ‘Eid Al-Fitr until he had eaten something, and he would not eat anything on ‘Eid Al-Adha until he had prayed the ‘Eid prayer.” [Reported by Ahmad (5/352), and the hadith is hasan]. THIRDLY: The Ruling of the ‘Eid Prayer It is obligatory upon every Muslim based on the previous hadith of Abu ‘Umair ibn Anas on the authority of his paternal uncles, wherein the Prophet ﷺ commanded them to break their fast and proceed to the place of prayer the following morning. Likewise, the hadith of Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) states: “We were commanded to bring out the young women and menstruating women on the two ‘Eids so they could witness the goodness and supplications of the Muslims. However, the menstruating women would keep away from the actual place of prayer.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhari (324) and Muslim (890)]. Based on these two hadiths, this ruling also includes women, and this was the opinion of Abu Bakr, ‘Ali, and Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). FOURTHLY: Saying the Takbir on ‘Eid Al-Adha This is established by the statement of Allah the Most High: {وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمۡ} “And proclaim the greatness of Allah for guiding you.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 185] And His statement: {وَٱذۡكُرُوا۟ ٱللهَ فِیۤ أَیَّامࣲ مَّعۡدُودَٰتࣲ} “And remember Allah during the appointed days.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 203] Also, in the previous hadith of Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: “And they would recite the Takbir with the people.” The time for saying the Takbir on ‘Eid Al-Adha begins on the Day of ‘Arafah due to the hadith of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). He was asked: “What did you used to do with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on that day?” He replied: “Some of us would raise our voices with the Talbiyah and no one objected to that, while others raised their voices with Takbir and no one objected to that.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari (1659) and Muslim (1285)]. The Takbir ends at sunset on the last day of Tashriq (the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah), due to the statement of Allah the Most High: {وَٱذۡكُرُوا۟ ٱلله فِیۤ أَیَّامࣲ مَّعۡدُودَٰتࣲ} “And remember Allah during the appointed days.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 203] And the hadith of Nubaishah Al-Hudhali (may Allah be pleased with him) in which the Prophet ﷺ said: “The days of Tashriq are days of eating, drinking, and remembering Allah.” [Reported by Muslim (1141)]. And the day ends with sunset. FIFTHLY: How to Say the Takbir The first form: الله أكبر، الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، الله أكبر، ولله الحمد This wording is established from ‘Ali and Ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him).

#Side_Benefits@madrasatunaa 'Eid is Not a Day of Fasting! A scholar said: إن في صوم النبي ﷺ يوم الإثنين وتنبيهه على أنه يوم مولده لأمته تحذير من النبي من الاحتفال بمولده ... “The Prophet ﷺ fasting on Mondays and informing his Ummah that this was the day on which he was born serves as a warning from the Prophet ﷺ to his Ummah against celebrating his birthday.” Then he explained the angle of this deduction, saying: ثم بين وجه استنباطه هذا فقال: إن العيد لا يصام فيه، فصيام النبي ومواظبته على ذلك مع تنبيهه المذكور كل ذلك لأجل ألا تتخذ أمته يوم مولده عيدًا. “‘Eid is not a day of fasting. Therefore, the Prophet’s ﷺ fasting on this day, his persistence in doing so, and his informing the Ummah of the reason for it were all so that his Ummah would not take his birthday as a day of celebration.” https://t.me/madrasatunaa/286

Important Advice While today is ‘Éid Al-Aḍḥā; a day of celebration, fun and joy, it is also the tenth of Dhul-Ḥijjah; the final day of the 10 days wherein Allāh is most pleased with good deeds. Therefore, don't let your gaurd down by allowing shayṭān to spoil this day by busing you with sin and disobedience. Do your best to refrain from all evils, especially free-mixing with non-maḥrams (not to mention hugging and embracing them), picture-making, backbiting and malicious gossip... Continue to perform righteous deeds, especially offering the obligatory prayers in the masjid, maintaining ties of kinship (particularly those that may have been severed), spreading salām (to those you know and don't know), saying takbeer and other types of dhikr... Wakee‘ rahimahullah said: “We went out with Sufyān Ath-Thawri on the day of ‘Éid and he said:

إن أول ما نبدأ به في يومنا غضّ أبصارنا.

'The first thing we're going to begin with today is to lower our gaze.'” [Al-Wara‘ of Ibn Abid Dunyā (66)] Ḥassan Al-Basri rahimahullāh said:

كل يومٍ لا يُعصى الله فيه فهو عيد، كل يوم يقطعه المؤمن في طاعة مولاه وذكره وشكره فهو له عيد.

“Everyday wherein Allāh is not disobeyed is considered a day of ‘Éid. Everyday that a believer spends obeying, remembering and thanking His Master is considered a day of ‘Éid for him. [Al-Wara‘ of Ibn Abid Dunyā (63)] A wise man said:

ليس العيد لمن لبس الجديد إنما العيد لمن طاعاته تزيد

‘Éid is not for the one who wears new clothes, ‘Éid is merely for those who increase in obedience ليس العيد لمن تجمل باللباس والركوب إنما العيد لمن غفرت له الذنوب. ‘Éid is not for the one who adorns himself with clothes and a ride, ‘Éid is merely for those whose sins are forgiven. [Laṭā'if Al-Ma‘ārif (1/299)] تقبل الله منا ومنكم صالح الأعمال أخوكم أبو إسحاق محمد بن أحمد باعلوي
