To the followers of the World Cup Whenever Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) looked at a Christian, he would close his eyes. He was asked about this, and he said: لا أقدر أن أنظر إلى من افترى على الله وكَذَب عليه “I can't look at someone who has falsely accused Allah and lied about Him.” [Tabaqat al-Hanabila (1/12)] https://t.me/Menzbenefits/459

Beware of wearing clothes that have a cross on them! عن عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَتْرُكُ فِي بَيْتِهِ شَيْئًا فِيهِ تَصَالِيبُ إِلاَّ نَقَضَهُ. A'ishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet ﷺ would not leave in his house anything containing crosses except that he obliterated it. [Sahih Bukhari - 5952]

#Side_Benefits@madrasatunaa Use Your Knowledge to Honour Your Parents, Not to Disobey Them When some people begin seeking knowledge and learn principles such as “there is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the Creator,” they may start to carelessly disobey their parents. Although this principle is correct, and we should not comply with anything that involves disobedience to Allah, we are still required to decline in a kind and respectful manner. Reflect on the saying of Allah: {فَلَا تُطِعۡهُمَاۖ وَصَاحِبۡهُمَا فِی ٱلدُّنۡیَا مَعۡرُوفࣰا} “...do not obey them, but accompany them in this world with kindness…” [Surah Luqmān: 15] If it's possible to fulfil their request while still remaining within the limits of Allah, then that is even better. Sa‘eed ibn Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: «لَدَغَتْنِي عَقْرَبٌ فَأَقْسَمَتْ عَلَيَّ أُمِّي أَنْ أَسْتَرْقِيَ، فَأَعْطَيْتُ الرَّاقِي يَدِي الَّتِي لَمْ تُلْدَغْ، وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُحْنِثَهَا» “A scorpion stung me, and my mother swore that I must seek ruqyah. So, out of respect for her, I gave the raaqi my hand that had not been stung, and I disliked breaking her oath.” [Hilyat Al-Awliya (4/275)] Meaning: Seeking ruqyah from others is generally disliked [https://t.me/ruqyachannel/59]. So when Sa‘eed ibn Jubayr was stung and his mother insisted that he seek ruqyah, he offered the hand that had not been stung. In this way, he maintained his tawakkul upon Allah and remained within the limits while still honouring his mother’s request. https://t.me/madrasatunaa/344

#Side_Benefits@madrasatunaa Four qualities that work in a person’s favour, and three that work against them Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “There are four qualities that bring benefit to those who have them, and three that bring harm to those who have them.” The four that benefit a person are: 1. Gratitude (Shukr) 2. Faith (Eman) 3. Seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) 4. Supplication (Du'a) Allah says: ﴿ما يفعل الله بعذابكم إن شكرتم وآمنتم﴾ “What would Allah do with your punishment if you are grateful and believe?” [4:147] And He says: ﴿وما كان الله معذبهم وهم يستغفرون﴾ “Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.” [8:33] And He says: ﴿ما يعبؤ بكم ربي لولا دعاؤكم﴾ “My Lord would not care for you were it not for your supplication.” [25:77] The three that harm a person are: 1. Breaking promises (Nakth) 2. Evil plotting (Makr) 3. Injustice (Baghy) Allah says: ﴿ومن نكث فإنما ينكث على نفسه﴾ “Whoever breaks his pledge only breaks it against himself.” [48:10] And He says: ﴿ولا يحيق المكر السيئ إلا بأهله﴾ “The evil plot only surrounds those who make it.” [35:43] And He says: ﴿إنما بغيكم على أنفسكم﴾ “Your injustice is only against yourselves.” [10:23] [Hilyat Al-Awliya’ (5/182)] https://t.me/madrasatunaa/343

A man wrote to Salih ibn Abdil-Quddus: “Death is a door, and all people will enter through it * I wish I knew what lies beyond that door. He replied: “The home is the Gardens of 'Adn if you do what pleases Allah; but if you disobey, then the home is the Fire. These two are the only destinations prepared for people — there is no third. So look at yourself and consider: what are you choosing?”

𝗠𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 (108) She Did Not Receive the Divorce Message Because She Blocked Him: Does the Divorce Count?

Enquiry:

A brother divorced his wife by sending her a WhatsApp message. Two months later, when she was asked about it, she said she was unaware of the divorce because she had blocked him. Does the divorce count? If it does, when does the waiting period (iddah) begin?

Response:

It is obligatory to inform the wife of the divorce, because she needs to know in order to determine and keep track of the start and end dates of her waiting period (iddah). This is based on the principle: ما لا يتم الواجب إلا به فهو واجب “Whatever is necessary to fulfil an obligation is itself an obligation.” Ref: https://t.me/womensbenefits/1761 However, if the husband has issued the divorce by speech or in writing, the divorce is still valid even if the wife was not informed of it. And the waiting period begins from the time the divorce was issued, not from the time she finds out about it. Ref: https://t.me/womensbenefits/1760 Source: https://t.me/Menzbenefits/456

#Side_Benefits@madrasatunaa Umrah and Hajj for Children Parents are encouraged to take their children with them for Umrah and Hajj whenever possible because it allows them to experience acts of worship from a young age and builds a connection with the sacred places. Even if a child does not fully understand every rite, they are still rewarded, and the parents are rewarded for guiding them. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a woman lifted up a child and asked the Prophet ﷺ: “Will this child receive the reward of Hajj?” He ﷺ replied: “Yes, and you will also receive a reward.” However, this Hajj or Umrah does not replace the obligatory Hajj or Umrah that becomes due after reaching puberty. A Step by Step Guide A child who can understand and follow instructions (mumayyiz) should perform the rites as much as they are able, with the guardian helping when needed. A very young child (non-mumayyiz) is taken into ihram by the guardian, who intends that the child is participating in the pilgrimage. At the miqat, the guardian intends in the heart for the child to enter ihram, and says: لبيك اللهم عمرة عن (child's name) “Labbayka Allahumma ‘Umratan ‘an (child’s name). The guardian should help the child with anything they can't do themselves: • Clean the child before ihram • Protect them from the prohibitions of ihram as much as reasonably possible • Recite the talbiyah for them if they can't • Carry them during the rites when needed ▪️Avoiding Ihram Restrictions The guardian should try to prevent the child from: • Using perfume after entering ihram • Cutting hair or nails • Hunting • Covering the head of a male child If a child does something due to their age or lack of understanding, many scholars hold that no penalty is required because the child is not legally accountable. ▪️Nappies A baby in ihram may wear a nappy. If the nappy becomes soiled, there is no sin upon the child. The guardian should clean the child before tawaf whenever reasonably possible. ▪️Clothing in Ihram For a boy: • Wear ihram clothing as much as possible • Keep the head uncovered during ihram For a girl: • She wears normal modest clothing • She may cover her head • She is not allowed to wear niqab or gloves in ihram ▪️Tawaf and Sa’i A child who is able should perform tawaf and sa’i themselves. If they cannot, they may be carried. For an infant or very young child, the guardian carries them during tawaf and sa’i. ▪️Hajj Rites The child is taken to ‘Arafah, Muzdalifah and Mina. If the child is able, they participate themselves. If not, the guardian assists them. The guardian may throw the pebbles on behalf of a very young child who cannot do it. ▪️Cutting Hair at the End For a boy: • Shaving the head is preferred • Trimming is also acceptable For a girl: • A small amount is trimmed from the tips of the hair • If the hair is very short, even a small amount is sufficient.

First Condition: They must be among those who no longer possess beauty nor are objects of desire – those who do not hope for marriage, neither desiring it nor being desired because they are old. As for those who still have some beauty or are objects of desire, it is not permissible for them to do this. Second Condition: They must not be displaying their adornment (Tabarruj). This consists of two things: 1) Not intending by removing their garments to display adornment, but doing so for ease when needed. 2) Not displaying their adornment (jewellery, kohl, dyes, beautification with visible clothing, etc.) that could cause temptation. Let the believing woman beware of misusing this concession by claiming to be among the elderly (Al-Qawa'id) when she is not, or by appearing adorned with any type of ornamentation. When Necessity Requires Mixing: It is established that freemixing is forbidden. Excluded from this is what necessity dictates, what is strongly needed, and what occurs in places of worship, as happens in the Grand Masjid in Makkah and the Prophet's Masjid in Madinah. Examples of dire necessity include rescuing a drowning person, providing medical treatment to a patient when a same-sex professional is unavailable, or a judge needing to meet with women. It is established that "necessities permit the forbidden." However, necessity is measured proportionally. The person must fear their Lord and avoid what He has forbidden as much as possible. If necessity requires mixing, as in Hajj for example – Hajj is a pillar of Islam, a commanded act that takes precedence over avoiding the forbidden. If crowding is severe and unavoidable, as in modern times, the woman performs her obligation while adhering to the regulations of Shariah. Like Hajj, all other necessities that permit the forbidden should be measured proportionally, and the extent of the necessity should not be exceeded. This is estimated and determined by knowledgeable scholars, as they are more aware of the parameters of necessities and best able to relate specific situations to the Hadiths and Ayaat. If a necessity that cannot be fulfilled except through freemixing arises, then like other forbidden things, it becomes permissible to the extent of the need. Once the need ends, the original ruling returns. In cases of necessity, one must not transgress or commit aggression, as Allah says: "He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit] – there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." [Al-Baqarah: 173] Source: Guide for the Preacher to Evidences of Sermons [Shatta Saqr] Section: The Difference Between Seclusion and Mixing, v.2, pp. 496-500. https://t.me/madrasatunaa/321
