A Muslim asks a ScholarIs it correct,that our Rusul (Muhammad) , discouraged marrying cousins? Should marrying cousins should be the last resort. Jazakallah.And the scholar replies
There is no objection whatsoever in the Islamic religion for a man to marry any of his relatives except al-maharim (those forbidden for marriage) whom Allah mentioned in
4:23: Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (who breast-fed you), foster-sisters (who breast-fed from the same woman as you); your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives with whom you have consummated marriage, no prohibition if ye have not consummated; (those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Thus, when Allah mentioned for us the relatives to whom marriage is forbidden, we then come to know that there is no objection for the remainder of the family relations. Furthermore, there is no condition that it be the last resort as indicated in the question.
Among the most prominent evidence of this fact is that the Prophet married his daughter Fatima to Ali and he is the son of her father's uncle, as well as the marriage of the Prophet himself to Zainab bint Jahsh and she is his aunt's daughter (his cousin); and there are many other such examples.
However, a different question may be asked, namely: "Is it better or preferable for a Muslim to marry someone he is not related to rather than a relative?"
The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked about marrying relatives and whether that causes retardation in the children.
They replied: There are no saheeh (reliable) hadith which forbid marriage to relatives. The incidence of retardation happens by the will and decree of Allaah and is not caused by marriage to relatives as is widely believed. End quote.
I'm betting the scholars parents were cousins.
A Muslim asks a scholar
What is the ruling on wearing lipstick during the day in Ramadaan? Does it break the fast? Please note that some lipsticks have a slight taste and some have no taste; some types of lipstick may be dry and some may be moist.
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah.
All kinds of preparations that are put on the outside of the body, whether they are absorbed through the skin or not, and whether they are for treatment, moisturizing, beautification or any other purpose, do not break the fast unless they are swallowed by the fasting person.
Hmm...gotta wonder if that actually happened
A Muslim asks a scholar
What is the ruling on women using kohl and some cosmetics during the day in Ramadaan? Do these things break the fast or not?
And the scholar replies
only if they eat them...kidding, here is what the scholar says..
He replied:
Kohl does not break the fast of men or women according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, but it is better to use it at night if one is fasting.
The same applies to soaps, creams etc that are used to beautify the face and are applied to the surface of the skin, including henna, makeup and the like. There is nothing wrong with using them for one who is fasting, but makeup should not be used if it will cause harm to the face.
Someone might take a bite out of your rosy cheeks...?
A Muslim asks a scholar
Throughout the Muslim world we find that there are differences between one country and another, in manner of dress, customs and traditions. For example we see that in some countries our sisters wear niqaab, because they follow the fatwa that says that niqaab is obligatory, but that is not widespread in another country, and the opinion that they follow there is that niqaab is not obligatory, rather it is mustahabb. Similarly with regard to women driving cars, in some countries the shaykhs have declared it to be haraam because of the harms that would result if it were allowed, whilst in other countries it is a very ordinary thing for a woman to drive a car, and they have been doing so for decades. To what extent is there flexibility in rulings? Is what is happening correct, I mean is it right that something may be obligatory in one country and mustahabb in another?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah.
The rulings of sharia are of two types:
1 – Those where the evidence of sharia points to the ruling, regardless of various customs or what good or bad consequences may result.
Translation; common sense isn’t important
An example of such a fixed rule is the obligation to offer the five daily prayers, to fast Ramadan, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, to seek knowledge, etc.
The Quran doesn’t say to pray 5 times; it does say not to follow shirks who follow hadith.

Another example is the obligation for the Muslim woman to cover her entire body, including the face and hands. This ruling is obligatory and does not vary from one place to another.
No it doesn’t. It says to cover the genitals.
2 – Rulings which are based on specific reasons, or where the ruling as to whether a thing is forbidden, allowed or obligatory depends upon whatever good or bad consequences will result from that, and where there is no sharia evidence to suggest a fixed ruling that does not vary. The issue of women driving cars may come under this heading.
Aiesha rode a camel, which is the Arab version of a car with 4 legs…that poops.
The scholars have issued fatwas stating that it is haraam because of the negative consequences that may result from it. This applies completely to the land of the two Holy Sanctuaries. With regard to other countries, the matter should be referred to trustworthy scholars for they know their countries’ situation best.
I am the only trustworthy scholar and I say America and Europe are the 2 holy sanctuaries.
People have spoken a great deal in the al-Jazeerah newspaper about the issue of women driving cars. It is well known that it leads to evil consequences which are well known to those who promote it, such as being alone with a non-mahram woman, unveiling, reckless mixing with men, and committing haraam actions because of which these things were forbidden. Islam forbids the things that lead to haraam and regards them as being haraam too.
This is only true in countries that promote inbreeding.
Allaah commanded the wives of the Prophet and the believing women to stay in their houses, to observe hijab and to avoid showing their adornments to non-mahrams because of the permissiveness that all these things lead to, which spells doom for society. Allaah says:
“And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance, and perform As-Salaah (prayer), and give Zakaah (charity) and obey Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah wishes only to remove Ar-Rijs (evil deeds and sins) from you, O members of the family of the Prophet, and to purify you with a thorough purification”
And they’re all dead. And their society cannot spell the word doom because of all that inbreeding.
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed”
Anything that has a () was added by the in-breeders. This aya was to tell the new believers not to dress like slaves who ran around naked in the desert.
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils over bosoms and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their women , or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”
If you read this carefully it says it’s ok for women to flash gramps. No one ever points that out…well, I do.
And the Prophet said: “No man is alone with a woman but the Shaytaan is the third one present.”
Translation; Muslim women are easy.
Islam forbids all the things that may lead to immorality or accusations of immoral conduct made against chaste women, who never even think of anything touching their chastity, and it has stipulated a punishment for that which is one of the most severe of punishments, in order to protect society from the spread of the causes of immorality.
Notice that this is only being said about Muslim women. The inbreeders believe that all Muslim men are pure and without immoral thoughts, which is why they do not have to cover and, why they are allowed to drive.
Women driving is one of the means that lead to that, and this is something obvious, but ignorance of the rulings of sharia and the negative consequences of carelessness with regard to the things that lead to evil – as well as diseases of the heart that prevail at present – and love of permissiveness and enjoying looking at non-mahram women all lead to indulging in this and similar things, with no knowledge and paying no attention to the dangers that it leads to. Allaah says:
“Say O Muhammad: But the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are great evil sins and every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse whether committed openly or secretly, sins, unrighteous oppression, joining partners with Allah for which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge”
Translation; the inbreeders are afraid women will have sex in their cars. Maybe the husbands are trying too hard to give the elbows of their wives an orgasm. That happens when you think all parts of a woman are a genital. I blame all the inbreeding, totally screws up the gene pool.
“and follow not the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan). Verily, he is to you an open enemy”
Translation; all Muslim men are evil…or is it women?
And the Prophet said: “I am not leaving behind me any fitnah more harmful to men than women.”
Its women, Muslim women. Thanks Muhammad. Actually, I don't believe Muhammad said this, I personally think it was Umar.
It was narrated that Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamaan said: “The people used to ask the Messenger of Allah about good things, but I used to ask him about bad things, fearing that I would live to see such things.
I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, we were in a state of ignorance and evil, then Allaah sent us this good (i.e., Islam). Will there be any evil after this good?’
No it doesn’t. It says to cover the genitals.

He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Will there by any good after that evil?’ He said, ‘Yes, but it will be tainted.’
I said, ‘How will it be tainted?’
He said, some people who will guide others in a way that is not according to my guidance. You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of others.’
I said, ‘Will there be any evil after that good?’ He said, ‘Yes, there will be people calling at the gates of Hell, and whoever responds to their call, they will throw them into it (the Fire).’
I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, describe them to us.’ He said, ‘They will be from among our people, speaking our language.’
I said, ‘What do you command me to do if I live to see such a thing?’ He said, ‘Adhere to the jamaa’ah (group, community) of the Muslims and their imaam (leader).’
I asked, ‘What if there is no jamaa’ah and no leader?’ He said, ‘Then keep away from all those groups, even if you have to bite the roots of a tree until death overtakes you whilst you are in that state.’”
And here I thought it was bugs nibbling at my roots. This Hadith is saying that even with Islam Muslims suck. Not a good message, Muhammad.
I call upon every Muslim to fear Allaah in all that he says and does and to beware of fitnah and those who promote it. He should keep away from all that angers Allaah or leads to His wrath, and he should be extremely cautious lest he be one of these callers to Hell of whom the Prophet tells us in this hadith.
If Allah knows best, why follow Hadith? Especially when Allah says NOT to follow Hadith. Quran, verse 31.6
But..
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked: I hope you can explain the ruling on women driving cars. And what is your opinion on the idea that women driving cars is less dangerous than their riding with non-mahram drivers?
The answer to this question is based on two principles which are well known among the Muslim scholars:
The first principle is: that whatever leads to haraam is itself haraam. The evidence for this is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides Allaah, lest they insult Allaah wrongfully without knowledge”
Translation; do not follow Hadith…or scholars who’s parents married a cousin.
The second principle is: that warding off evil – if it is equal to or greater than the interests concerned – takes precedence over bringing benefits. The evidence for that is the verse in which Allah says:
“They ask you (O Muhammad) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: In them is a great sin, and (some) benefits for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit”
Translation; a drunk Muslim is not a good gambler.
Allah has forbidden alcohol and gambling even though there is some benefit in them, so as to ward off the evils that result from them.
Does anyone see the word forbidden in that aya?
Based on these two principles, the ruling on women driving should be clear, because women driving includes a number of evils, including the following:
Removal of hijab, because driving a car involves uncovering the face which is the site of fitnah and attracts the glance of men. A woman is only regarded as beautiful or ugly on the basis of her face, i.e., if it is said that she is beautiful or ugly, people only think in terms of her face. If something else is meant it must be specified, so that one would say that she has beautiful hands or beautiful hair or beautiful feet.
Oh how convenient, they forgot about the aya that tells men to lower their gaze. Or that the true beauty of women is her deen (religion). But how is a woman’s face is like that of a drunken gambler?
Hence it is known that the face is the focal point. If someone were to say that a woman can drive a car without taking off her hijab, by covering her face and wearing dark glasses over her eyes, the answer to that is that this is not what really happens when women drive cars.
Ask those who have seen them in other countries. Even if we assume that this could be applied initially, it would not last for long, rather the situation would soon become as it is in other countries where women drive. This is how things usually develop; they start out in an acceptable fashion then they get worse.
So, the real gamble is that women will show their faces, but if the men lowered their gaze who would know? But how is a woman like a drunk?
And here I thought it was bugs nibbling at my roots. This Hadith is saying that even with Islam Muslims suck. Not a good message, Muhammad.

This is how things usually develop; they start out in an acceptable fashion then they get worse.
So, the real gamble is that women will show their faces, but if the men lowered their gaze who would know? But how is a woman like a drunk?
Modesty is the noble characteristic that befits the nature of women and protects them from being exposed to fitnah. Hence it is mentioned in a metaphorical sense (in Arabic), in the phrase “more modest than a virgin in her seclusion.” Once a woman’s modesty is lost, do not ask about her.
Ah, they might drive naked! Or….a woman will lose her virginity to the car. Interesting!
It also leads to women going out of the house a great deal, but their homes are better for them – as the Prophet said – because those who love to drive enjoy it very much, hence you see them driving around in their cars here and there for no purpose, except to enjoy driving.
Laughing at that! Driving a convertible camel must have been a lot of fun.
Oh the humanity of it all!! Translation...Divorced Muslim women are trouble.
You may find a divorced woman going where she wants, whenever she wants and however she wants, for whatever purpose she wants, because she is alone in her car, at any time she wants of the day or night.
She may stay out until late at night. If people are complaining about this with regard to young men, then what about young women, going all over the place the length and breadth of the country, and maybe even beyond its borders.
Oh no!! Then what?
It is a means of women rebelling against their families and husbands; at the least provocation they may go out of the house and drive in the car to wherever they think they can get some peace, as happens in the case of some young men, who are able to put up with more than women.
Translation; if a Muslim woman wants ‘some peace’ then she must be drunk and if she’s drunk she may gamble her life by going out alone, which might get her killed. Well it's as clear as mud now. Maybe it only makes sense if you're the product of inbreeding.
It is a cause of fitnah (trouble) in many places: when stopping at the traffic lights, or at gas stations, or at inspection points, or when stopped by policemen at the scenes of traffic infractions or accidents, or if the car stalls and the woman needs help. What will her situation be in this case? Perhaps she may come across an immoral man who takes advantage of her in return for helping her, especially if her need is great to the point of urgency.
Translation; DO NOT TRUST MUSLIM MEN! Why do the scholars keep repeating this message?
When women drive it leads to overcrowding in the streets, or it deprives some young men of the opportunity to drive cars when they are more deserving of that.
Even though the inbred scholar has pointed out that Muslim men can’t be trusted?
It causes fitnah to flourish because women – by their nature – like to make themselves look good with clothing etc. Do you not see how attached they are to fashion?
Every time a new fashion appears they throw away what they have and rush to buy the new things, even if it is worse than what they have.
Do you not see the adornments that they hang on their walls?
In the same way – or perhaps more so – with the cars that they drive, whenever a new model appears they will give up the first for the new one.
Translation; Muslim men will wear the same dress all their life; they don’t care what they look like. And, they will drive the same camel until it dies….then go buy an old car…right? No?
With regard to the questioner asking, “And what is your opinion on the idea that women driving cars is less dangerous than their riding with non-mahram drivers?” – what I think is that both of them involve danger, and one is more serious than the other in some ways, but there is no necessity that would require one to do either of them.
Back to; do not trust a Muslim woman.
Please note that I have answered this question at length because of the controversy that surrounds the issue of women driving cars, and the pressure faced by conservative Saudi society, which is striving to adhere to its religious commitment and morals, to allow women to drive cars.
I’m sure he’d say the same things regarding women being allowed to vote. They are afraid that while waiting in line they may throw the guy behind them up against a wall and scream…DO ME!!
This would be nothing strange if it were to come from an enemy who seeks to cause harm this land which is the last bastion of Islam that the enemies of Islam wish to penetrate. But what is even stranger is that this is coming from our own people who speak our language and live under our banner, people who are dazzled by what the kaafir nations have of material advancement and admire their ways which are devoid of any moral restrictions.
Like driving our cars? Using our internet? Perhaps the people of Saudi Arabia have more faith in themselves than the inbred scholars have. So far the scholar’s all sound like perverts and they believe all Muslims are perverts, too.
With regard to countries in which woman are allowed to drive cars, Muslim women should avoid that as much as possible, for the reasons mentioned above.
I think Muslim women living in the west have seen that they can trust western men more than they can trust their Sharia pervert scholars.
In cases of necessity, such as helping accident victims or fleeing from a criminal, there is nothing wrong with a Muslim woman using a car in such situations, if she cannot find a man to help her.
All that would be very hard to do if she’s confined to her house.
There are other cases, such as women who have to go out to work and have no husband, father or guardian to look after them and no income from the government to meet their needs, and they cannot find work that they can do at home, such as some internet-based jobs, so they are forced to go out. In that case they can use the means of transportation that poses the least danger to them.
And what kind of transportation would that include?
There may be some means of transportation that are available only to women, or a group of women may hire a driver to take them to work or university. Using taxis– for those who can afford it – may be better than using public transportation where a woman may be exposed to humiliation and aggression, so they should use taxis, so long as they are not alone with the driver.
Translation; all Muslim men are evil.
If a woman is forced to drive a car in cases of extreme need, then she should drive wearing full jilbaab and hijab, and with fear of Allaah.

Women should also seek fatwas from the trustworthy scholars in their own countries – not those who are too lenient – who understand both sharee’ah and the situation in that country.
Translation; the Quran did not make the worst of the worst any better.
A Muslim asks a scholar
What is the Sunnah when entering upon one’s wife on the wedding night? Many people mistakenly think that he should read Soorat al-Baqarah and pray, and this custom is widespread nowadays.

And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah
When a man enters upon his wife for the first time, he should take her forelock in his hand and say: “O Allaah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that You have made her inclined towards, and I take refuge with You from the evil within her and the evil that You have made her inclined towards.” Reported by Abu Dawood
Praise be to Allaah
When a man enters upon his wife for the first time, he should take her forelock in his hand and say: “O Allaah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that You have made her inclined towards, and I take refuge with You from the evil within her and the evil that You have made her inclined towards.” Reported by Abu Dawood
But if he fears that the woman may get upset if he takes hold of her forelock and recites this du’aa’, then he can take hold of her forelock as if he is going to kiss her, and recite this du’aa’ to himself under his breath, without letting her hear him, so that she will not be upset.
If she is a woman who has knowledge, she will know that this is prescribed by Islam and that there is nothing wrong with him doing and saying this in such a way that she can hear it. As for praying two rak’ahs when he enters the room where his wife is, it was reported that some of the salaf did this, so if the man does this it is good, and if he does not do it, there is nothing wrong with that.
My fatwa regarding this fatwa. The woman should take his modesty in her hand and say under her breath, so he won’t be offended, if this part touches another woman it will be removed. There is nothing wrong with that.
