The Fruits Of Knowledge

[Part 2] Here are some referenced quotes from those who transmitted the aforementioned concensus: 1⃣. Al-Baghawi raḥimahullāh said: “They did not differ concerning impermissibility of women travelling without a husband or a Maḥram for purposes other than the obligatory Ḥajj, and apart from (exceptional circumstances such as) a kafir woman embracing Islam in a non-Muslim land (I.e. She is allowed to migrate to a Muslim land without a mahram) or a female prisoner who escapes her captives. Others added: or a woman who becomes detached from her travelling companions and is found by a trustworthy man; in which case he is allowed to accompany her until he brings her back to her group.” [This was transmitted and endorsed by Ibn Ḥajar in Fat-ḥ Al-Bārī (4/90)] 2⃣. Al-Qāḍhi ’Iyāḍh raḥimahullāh said: “They did not differ concerning the fact that she is not allowed to travel without a Maḥram for purposes other than the obligatory Ḥajj.” [Ikmāl Al-Mu'allim Sharḥ Muslim (4/446)] ▪️This transmission of Al-Qāḍhi ’Iyāḍh was also relayed and endorsed by: A. An-Nawawi [Sharḥ Muslim (9/112)], B. ’Alā' Ad-deen ibnul ’Aṭṭār [Al-'Uddah fī Sharḥ Al-’Umdah (2/959)] C. Ibnul Mulaqqin [Al-I’lām bi fawā'id ’Umdat Al-Aḥkām (6/82)] 3⃣. Al-Qurṭubi raḥimahullāh said: “They did not differ concerning the fact that she is not allowed to travel for a non-obligatory purpose except with a Maḥram or her husband.” [Al-Mufhim 3/450] 4⃣. Ibn Ḥajar raḥimahullāh said: “This (ḥadīth) was used to establish the impermissibility of women travelling without a Maḥram; which is a matter of concensus - except in the case of (obligatory) Hajj and ’Umrah.” [Fat-ḥ Al-Bārī (2/662)] 5⃣. ’Abdurraḥmān Ibn Qāsim raḥimahullāh said: “They unanimously agreed concerning the impermissibility of a woman travelling without a Maḥram for purposes other than (obligatory) Ḥajj and ’Umrah, migrating from the lands of disbelief, and any other exceptional circumstances (ḍhurūrah); like the case of a man who finds a non-maḥram woman isolated somewhere in the open and so on, in which case he is allowed to accompany her; rather it is obligatory upon him to do so -without any differing- if he fears for her due to leaving her behind, based on the report of ’Ā'ishah (raḍhiyallāhu ’anhā) concerning the incident of Al-Ifk.” [Ḥāshiyat Ar-Rawḍh Al-Murbi’ (3/524)]

﷽ This is a Summarised English translation of the above article [part 1] Nowadays Muslims have been trialled with people who issue Religious verdicts on TV, newspapers, magazines, etc., without being qualified to do so. Thus, you find their verdicts opposing the Qur'an, authentic Sunnah and the consensus of those who preceded. One such issue where they have opposed the aforementioned sources is their permittance for women to travel without a mahram for reasons such as visiting, studies, tourism, business, to perform voluntary Hajj or Umrah, etc. The reason for their permittance returns to the following three matters, altogether or partially: 1⃣. He looks into the books of fiqh which discuss the differences of opinion between the scholars on this topic, assuming that this differing includes all types of travel, not knowing that the scholars only differed concerning obligatory Hajj and Umrah and nothing else (i.e. Is it permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram in order to perform the obligatory Hajj or Umrah? This is where the scholars differed. Aside from this, the scholars are in agreement that women are not allowed to travel without a mahram). Then after looking into the different opinions and the arguments put forth, he may conclude that the stronger opinion is that of allowance, but due to his lack of awareness, he goes on to up generalise this allowance to include all types of travel. 2⃣. He may be aware of the concensus prohibiting women to travel without a mahram (except for the obligatory Hajj and Umrah), but he deliberately opposes it by allowing women to travel without a mahram. He does so submitting himself to people's desires in order to draw acceptance and gain a bigger following. He can fool the people and get his wishes (acceptance and popularity), but can he escape from Allah?! 3⃣. He is part of a political party seeking to win people's votes, so he is ready to tell people whatever they want to hear - even if it means opposing the Islamic sources. Let us now clarify the issue and make everything clear: There are two cases with relation to women travelling without a mahram: THE FIRST CASE: A woman travels without a Maḥram for purposes other than fulfilling the obligatory Ḥajj or ’Umrah For example: Travelling to visit family or friends, for the sake of studies, tourism, in order to perform voluntary Hajj or Umrah, etc. In this case, a woman is NOT ALLOWED to travel without a mahram by agreement of all the scholars. None of them differed concerning this. We will mention the references for this concensus in the next post inshallah.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗮𝗷𝗮𝗯: 1⃣. Offering sacrifice specifically in this month Abu Hurairah raḍhiyallāhu anhu narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “No Far’. No ‘Ateerah.” [Bukhari & Muslim] Both were types of sacrifices offered by the Mushriks to their false deities; Far’ being the first child of the cattle and ’Ateerah being the sacrifice offered specifically in the month of Rajab. So those who slaughter in the month of Rajab specifically are imitating the Mushriks and disobeying the command of the Prophet ﷺ. 2⃣. Salaat Ar-Raghā’ib This prayer is offered between Maghrib and ’Isha on the first Friday night in Rajab, and is preceded by fasting on the first Thursday of Rajab. An-Nawawi rahimahullāh said: “The prayer which is known as Salaat Ar-Raghā'ib, which is twelve rakahs that are offered between Maghrib and ‘Isha’ on the night of the first Friday in Rajab, and praying one hundred rakahs on the night of Nusf Shabaan (halfway through Islamic month Shabaan) are both reprehensible innovations. No one should be deceived by the fact that they are mentioned in Qoot al-Quloob and Ihya’ ‘Uloom al-Deen, or by the hadeeth which is quoted in these two books, because all of that is false. No one should be deceived by some of those Imaams who were confused about the ruling on these prayers and wrote essays stating that they are mustahabb (recommended), for they are mistaken in that. Imaam Abu Muhammad ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Isma’eel al-Maqdisi wrote a valuable book showing that they are false, and he did well in that, may Allaah have mercy on him”. [Al-Majmoo’ (3/548)] 3⃣. Fasting the entire month or most of it People fast throughout Rajab even though fasting in Rajab is like fasting in any other month. ‘Umar raḍhiyallāhu anhu used to hit the hands of those who fasted in Rajab until they reached out for food, and he would say, This is a month which was venerated in Jāhiliyyah. [Authenticated by Sheikh Albāni in Al-Irwaa’, 957] 4⃣. Celebrating Israa' wal Mi'raaj (the night journey) This innovation takes place on the 27th night of Rajab. There is no authentic proof that Isra’ wal Mi’raaj happened on this date according to many scholars. And even if it was proven, there is no excuse for holding celebrations on this date, because this was not reported from the Prophet ﷺ, nor was it a practice of his companions, may Allaah be pleased with them all. If it was a good thing, they would have surely preceded us. 5⃣. Visiting graves specifically in this month Many people visit graves in Rajab with the belief that it has a good affect on the inhabitants and that it carries a greater reward, but there is nothing to prove this. 6⃣. Performing ’Umrah (known as Ar-Rajabiyyah) specifically during this month The Prophet ﷺ never performed ‘Umrah during Rajab even though he performed ‘Umrah four times. Sheikh Muḥammad Ibrāhīm (former Grand Mufti) said in his Fatāwā: “As for singling out some of the days of Rajab for any kind of good deed, ziyaarah (visiting the House of Allaah, the Ka'bah) or anything else, there is no basis for this, because Imām Abū Shāmah stated in his book Al-Bida wal Ḥawādith: specifying acts of worship at times that were not specified by Shar’iah is wrong; no time is to be regarded as better than any other except in cases where the Shar’iah has given preference to a certain act of worship at a certain time, or stated that any good deed done at this time is better than good deeds done at other times. Hence the scholars denounced the practice of singling out the month of Rajab for doing ’Umrah frequently.” ____ The Dangers of innovation https://t.me/madrasatuna/192

Advice: Rajab (the 7th month of the Lunar calendar) is one of four sacred months. Aside from this, everything you find being circulated about the virtues of Rajab is either very weak or fabricated, or innovations and superstitions which people have introduced. So if there's anything good you should increase in during this month, it would have to be forbidding the spread of such innovations. 2 - Rajab - 1444 H.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Bid'ah In The Month Of Rajab Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (حفظه الله تعالى) was asked the following: Question: "There are those who single out the month of Rajab with fast; hence, is [there] anything that is confirmed [in the Sunnah to support this]?" Answer: The Shaikh had responded with the following: "There is nothing that is confirmed from worship that is specifically to the month of Rajab; no fasting, no salāḥ, no 'Umrah-absolutely nothing at all specific to it. [As for] those who are singling it out with worship, then they are the innovators since they introduced into the deen that which is not from it. Thus, Allah and His Messenger did not legislate any specific form of worship in Rajab; no 'Umrah, no animal sacrifice, no standing [in salāḥ] in any specific night and no fasting in any specific day. Rajab is simply like any other (sacred) month. The month of al-Muḥarram ([like Rajab) is sacred, since it is from the four sacred months. As for singling it out with worship, then this from innovation." Source: Majmooah Fataawa Shaikh Sālih al-Fawzān (2/438) Taken from: Striving For Jannah

The ummah which sleeps on Laylatul Qadr but stays awake New Year’s Eve until fajr, then don’t ask about the reasons for its weakness and humiliation

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Happy New Year? Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah: "Congratulating the kuffaar on the rituals that belong only to them is haraam by consensus, as is congratulating them on their festivals and fasts by saying ‘A happy festival to you’ or ‘May you enjoy your festival,’ and so on. If the one who says this has been saved from kufr, it is still forbidden. It is like congratulating someone for prostrating to the cross, or even worse than that. It is as great a sin as congratulating someone for drinking wine, or murdering someone, or having illicit sexual relations, and so on. Many of those who have no respect for their religion fall into this error; they do not realize the offensiveness of their actions. Whoever congratulates a person for his disobedience or bid’ah or kufr exposes himself to the wrath and anger of Allaah." "Congratulating the kuffaar on their religious festivals is haraam to the extent described by Ibn al-Qayyim because it implies that one accepts or approves of their rituals of kufr, even if one would not accept those things for oneself. But the Muslim should not aceept the rituals of kufr or congratulate anyone else for them, because Allaah does not accept any of that at all, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): 'If you disbelieve, then verily, Allaah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. . .' [Az-Zumar 39:7] '. . . This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islaam as your religion . . .' [Al-Maa’idah 5:3] So congratulating them is forbidden, whether they are one’s colleagues at work or otherwise. If they greet us on the occasion of their festivals, we should not respond, because these are not our festivals, and because they are not festivals which are acceptable to Allaah. These festivals are innovations in their religions, and even those which may have been prescribed formerly have been abrogated by the religion of Islaam, with which Allaah sent Muhammad (salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) to the whole of mankind. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 'Whoever seeks a religion other than Islaam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.' [Aal ‘Imraan 3:85] It is haraam for a Muslim to accept invitations on such occasions, because this is worse than congratulating them as it implies taking part in their celebrations. Similarly, Muslims are forbidden to imitate the kuffaar by having parties on such occasions, or exchanging gifts, or giving out sweets or food, or taking time off work, etc., because the Prophet (salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: 'Whoever imitates a people is one of them.' Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said in his book Iqtidaa’ al-siraat al-mustaqeem mukhaalifat ashaab al-jaheem: 'Imitating them in some of their festivals implies that one is pleased with their false beliefs and practices, and gives them the hope that they may have the opportunity to humiliate and mislead the weak.' Whoever does anything of this sort is a sinner, whether he does it out of politeness or to be friendly, or because he is too shy to refuse, or for whatever other reason, because this is hypocrisy in Islaam, and because it makes the kuffaar feel proud of their religion. Allaah is the One Whom we ask to make the Muslims feel proud of their religion, to help them adhere steadfastly to it, and to make them victorious over their enemies, for He is the Strong and Omnipotent."

Advice to sisters (forwarded message): An old lady noticed that young and foolish girls were messing around with guys, giving them access to their bodies, in the hope that they would one day marry them. The wise old lady said: اللي يشرب حليب ببلاش عمره ما راح يفكر يشتري بقرة '𝘐𝘧 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘰 free 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘬, 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘸.' If you fool around with guys, they will never marry you. They will just use and abuse you, and then move onto to the next one. When they eventually decide to settle down, they'll marry a modest, conservative woman who observes correct hijab. Be smart and vigilant and don't let anyone use you. The wife of 'Azeez was not able to win over Yusuf (peace be upon him) through her acts of seduction, but the girl of Madyan modestly won over Musa (peace be upon him) through her Hayaa'. Real men are not deluded by the falseness of transient beauty but are attracted to the substance of good character.
