Is it possible for the jinn to kidnap a human being?
I have heard many stories about the jinn kidnapping human beings.
I read a story which said that a man of the Ansaar went out to pray and the jinn took him prisoner and he was lost for years. Is this possible – I mean that the jinn could kidnap a human being?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah.
Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen answered this question as follows:
That is possible. It is well known that Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaadah was killed by the jinn when he urinated in a hole in which was their dwelling place, and they said, “We have killed the leader of Khazraj Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaadah; we struck him with an arrow and we did not miss his heart.”
NOTHING pisses off a Jinn more than getting pissed on!
At the time of ‘Umar, a man was kidnapped by the jinn and stayed with them for four years, then he came back and told the people that some mushrik jinn had kidnapped him, and he stayed with them as a prisoner, then some Muslim jinn launched a campaign against them and defeated them, and brought him back to his family. This was mentioned in Manaar al-Sabeel and elsewhere.
He wasn’t kidnapped, he just split for awhile...yep, that's what I think
A Muslim asks a scholar
I'd like to know about the 2 Angels, who write our lives in a book (good and bad things) is it true they won’t come to the house with picture? When i pray and there is a picture. I must give Salaam to the angels and the angels aren't here, because there are pictures in the house..?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allah.
The words “the angels do not enter” mean: the angels of mercy, not the recording angels or the Angels of death.
Yes, angels have jobs
The mercy angels who do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image, they are the angels who go round with mercy, blessings and prayers for forgiveness.
The real message here; take your dog on a walk every day, because birds fly, fish swim and dogs walk...might want to take the image with you...
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: If the images are treated without respect, such as images on carpets or pillows, the majority of scholars are of the view that they are permissible.
Great, the scholars decided you can leave those images at home when you walk your dog. Just so you know, this is all based on hadith
Bukhari said; “The angels do not enter a house in which there is an image or a dog.”
So for him, an image of a dog would be totally out of the question.
But Allah has no problem with dogs or images so long as they are not worshipped. So, don’t worship your pillows or your carpet especially if your dog is laying on them.
The recording angels write down the deeds of the son of Adam because they are enjoined to list and record their deeds.
o do lots of good deeds everyday!The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls. Then you shall be brought to your Lord”
And I'm telling ya, the Lord WILL ask if you walked your dog!
A Muslim asks a scholar
Does the Shaytaan call the dying person to become a Jew or Christian? And what is meant by the “trials of death”?
And the scholar replies
There is no evidence for this from the Quran or hadith, rather this is what some scholars say, but that does not happen in the grave, rather it happens when a person is dying, before the soul is taken. Some scholars stated that this comes under the heading of “the trials of life”.
But that depends on which hadith you read or what scholar you follow
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:
The presenting of other religions to a person at the time of death does not happen to everyone, but we cannot say that it does not happen to anyone
In other words, their just making this stuff up as they go along.
A Muslim asks a scholar
I saw one of the women in Makkah, charging her mobile phone from the electricity of the Mosque. Is what she did permissible?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allah.
It is better for the Muslim not to do that, and to err on the side of caution. The Prophet said: “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.”
Maybe she had no doubts and needed to charge her phone
But if a Muslim needs to do that, there is the hope that there will be no sin on him for that, insha Allaah, if the people in charge of the Haram do not disallow that. But he should limit it just to what he needs and no more, so that he will not prevent any of his Muslim brothers from also charging their mobile phones, because they may need it just as he does, or more.
And Allaah knows best
Interesting that in other fatwas the scholars are quick to say; do not be friends or copy anything of the disbelievers--the infidels---but when it comes to the cool things that the infidels invent then it's ok to copy them.
This fatwa is not based on anything from the Quran, but maybe the infidels should enforce it...based on fatwas
A Muslim asks a scholar
The sign of NIKE printed on T-Shirts, shoes and caps. Should Muslims avoid purchasing and wearing these types of itemns? Many people say that is Shirk" it means I obey another GOD (other than Allah) Please provide me brief answer; the history of Nike (if it is Truth).
And here is the ridiculous answer
Praise be to Allaah.
This well known registered trademark, Nike, which may be the most well known of sporting brands in the world, bears the name of the Greek goddess of victory. They chose this name as a symbol of good luck and hope of victory for sportsmen who wore this brand and propagate the symbol of this god.
Nike was the god of victory among the ancient Greeks, who was usually presented in the form of a winged maiden, carrying a crown in one hand and a palm branch in the other.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:
As for us, what we must do is boycott these things, and not spend our money on that which is bad for us, because at the very least a boy may start accept accepting these words that say that he is a Jew or a Christian, when we know that the Jews and Christians have been our enemies since ancient times.
Seriously? Scholars believe Muslims are stupid enough to worship a check mark?
And telling Muslims that all Christians and Jews are the enemy does not promote peace and tolerance. And neither worship Nike even if they do wear their shoes and caps.
This fatwa is not based on Quran as no one worships a check mark.
Stupid schoars!

I hope that you could explain the presence of the Jews in Madeenah, as it is narrated that the Prophet expelled them from the city?

And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allah.
The Prophet commanded that the Jews be expelled from the Arabian Peninsula, and said that no two religions should co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula. This is a Sharia ruling. It is not permissible for any mushrik to remain there. With regard to the presence of the Jews in Madeenah, Khaybar, etc., this was before the command to expel them, as is well known. The command to expel them came during the final illness of the Prophet, then ‘Umar expelled them after that.
Notice that this scholar could not back up this bad Hadith with anything from the Quran. I’ve written a couple of blogs that prove, (from the Quran), that Allah gave Israel to the Jews. Sharia sucks.
Umar said that the Messenger of Allah said. “The Jews will fight you and you will prevail over them until a rock will say, “O Muslim, here is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.”
The rocks remain silent. The Jews have prevailed, and Umar was stabbed to death by a Christian who was upset about high taxes.
Stupid hadith
A Muslim asks a scholar
I hope that you can give some advice to graduating women, those who have finished their university studies. What should they do after graduating and before marriage or until they get married?
And this is the foolish answer this young woman received.

Our advice to our sisters is not to be too keen to finish their studies or look for work, because unfortunately in most Muslim countries there is no work that befits women or is free of haram (forbidden) elements.
This is true. Islam as a government cannot work well anywhere, and there are 57 sharia run countries that prove it.
Fatwas may be issued for a small number of sisters, in some specialities, allowing them to complete their studies or work, but that is after consulting scholars whose knowledge and religious commitment they trust, and in circumstances that apply only to them.
This is especially true in the case of females, because the burden of temptation they face is greater and the protection they have is weak.
Obviously the scholars believe that there has only been one strong, smart, educated Muslim woman in the history of Islam and that was-- Khadija, Muhammad’s first wife. Other than than that, all Muslim women are weak, lack faith, secretly want to run away from Islam and can’t trust her Muslim brothers.
Brilliant advice-- if you want Muslim women to desire western men.
This fatwa is not based on the Quran.
A Muslim asks a scholar
Once the deceased has been placed in the grave, is it permissible to uncover his face or should we leave it covered?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz said:
It should not be uncovered, rather his entire body should be covered, unless he is a muhrim (in ihraam for Hajj or ‘Umrah), Do not cover his head or his face, for he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection.”
And he also said:
But if the deceased is a woman than her face should be covered with the shroud even if she was in ihraam, because it is ‘awrah (genital).
Eww and Holy Crappy Haidth!!
A Muslim asks a scholar
I know that breastfeeding establishes the relationship of being a mahram, and that if a woman breastfeeds a child she becomes his mother through breastfeeding. A man had blood taken from him to be given to his wife. Does that have any effect on his married life with her?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allah.
This analogy is not correct. The relationship of mahram that is proven in sharia applies only in the case of breastfeeding.
The Standing Committee replied:
Perhaps the questioner is thinking of an analogy between blood and the milk that establishes the relationship of a mahram (one you cannot have sex with). This analogy is not valid for two reasons:
1- Blood is not a source of nourishment as milk is;
2- That which establishes the relationship of a mahram according to the text is breastfeeding that fulfils two conditions: (i) that the breastfeeding occurs five or more times; (ii) that that takes place within the first two years of the child’s life.
Based on this, the blood that has been taken from you and given to your wife does not have any affect on your married life.
You’ve all heard of the fatwa that said if a Muslim woman wants to work with men she has to breastfeed them 5 times so they won’t be marriage material, right?
It failed because the other fatwa makers were afraid their wives would demand the right to work.

“Whoever protects that which is between his jaws and that which is between his legs will be guaranteed Paradise.”
There was no point to that- I just thought it was funny.
