🔵Guidance on Mixed Gatherings in Social Invitations🔵 🔴Answered by Usthaad Musthafa George Hafidhahullah 🔴 https://t.me/salafihelpline Assalamu Alaikum, I hope this email finds you in the best of health and Iman. I am writing to seek your guidance regarding an upcoming social gathering my husband and I have been invited to. The invitation is for a gathering where both men and women will be seated in the same area, albeit with their respective spouses. The gathering will include either a few different families or just our family and my husband’s friend’s family. Could you kindly advise on the following:    1.    Is it permissible for us to attend such a gathering where men and women are not segregated?    2.    If it is not permissible, how should we respectfully decline the invitation while maintaining good relations?    3.    What would be the appropriate way to conduct ourselves in similar social situations in the future? Your guidance on this matter will be greatly appreciated. JazakAllah khair for your time and assistance. Walaikum as salam wa rahmatullah I feel the best way to handle those gatherings is for the Muslim couple to sit away from the crowd with their family. For example, sitting with the father in law, mother in law, etc. Another issue is being around music, as sometimes these gatherings have music. If that's the case, the Muslim must leave the gathering.  In general, if a Muslim can avoid such gatherings, it's better to do so as opposed to exposing oneself or wife, children, etc to the harms that are present.  May Allah guide us all and make our affairs easy for us. 

🔵Mother’s Emergency question on Hajj🔵 Answered by Usthaad Abu Khadeeja Hafidhahullah السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Usthaad Hayyakhallah My mom went for Hajj She is so tired and exhausted now as she is informed us She got two doubts : Due to the hajj group irresponsibility they didn’t get bus to musdalifa or any tent in Mina قَدَّرَ اللهُ وَما شاءَ فَعَل She didn’t reach musdalifa on time before fajr but they were in bus when the fajr adhaan called So is there any fidiya for that ? Second doubt is Throwing stones at Jam-rah She is so tired that she won’t be able to go for throwing stones So can she ask someone to do it on her behalf? جزاكم الله خيرا Wa-alaikumus-salām-wa-rahmatullāhi-wa-barakātuhu. 1. If they tried and failed to get to Muzdalifah or were prevented through no fault of their own, there is no fidyah to pay and they are excused. (Ibn Bāz) 2. ⁠Old people or women who are unable, or those who are sick can appoint someone to stone on their behalf.

🔵Wants to apply to a role as a nursery worker and care assistant for children with special needs and has previously worked in a nursery, as a carer, and market research.🔵 🔴Answered by Usthaad Musthafa George Hafidhahullah 🔴 https://t.me/salafihelpline Assalāmu ‘Alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi wa Bārakātuh. I make CV’s for Salafīs in the community and ask them to first send me some information to avoid aiding them in harām. One prospective client (woman) wants to apply to a role as a nursery worker and care assistant for children with special needs and has previously worked in a nursery, as a carer, and market research. Does this sound like I’d be aiding in harām by compiling a CV for her or would it be okay? The Salafī sister is awaiting a response and would like the CV done this week, so I would appreciate a response when possible, bārakAllāhu feekum. Jazākum’Allāhu khair. Walaikum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu  The Sahabiyat used to treat the wounded companions during war.  As long as she isn't forced to wear tight clothing, or be alone with men, etc. It's permissible.
