Can we take part in non-Muslim celebration only so that they might be attracted to our celebrations too?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah.
If these celebrations are the festivals of the kuffaar and mushrikeen, it is not permissible to take part in those innovated festivals, because doing so implies helping them to commit sin and transgression. Taking part in their festivals also involves imitating the kuffaar, which is forbidden in Islam. The Prophet said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Reported by Abu Dawood). ‘Umar used to say: “Avoid the enemies of Allaah during their festivals.'
Holy hadith! Talk about paranoid! Hey--Not Everyone IS your enemie! But it seems this scholar would like you to believe that, but the Quran says;
2:83 '..and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor due..'
If what is referred to is accepting an invitation to a meal, for example, and there is nothing involved that is forbidden in Islam, such as mixing of men and women, or foods forbidden by Allaah such as wine and pork, or dancing and music and so on, and this participation does not imply that one loves these kuffaar, then there is nothing wrong with accepting their invitation. He should try to convey the message of Islam to them. The Prophet accepted the invitation of some of the Jews.
And Allaah knows best.
Well, if Allah knows best, why are you following these screwed up, misguided, lying scholars? If you follow a liar you become a liar, when you repeat what a liar says, you cause more mischief. Because, whoever imitates a people is one of them…so says someone who said someone else said Muhammad told them so. But that’s not what the Quran says. It tells believers;
49:11 O you who have believed, avoid much negative assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin.
And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful
Keep in mind, the desert Arabs were the last ones to receive the message of ONE God. This is not a new religion. So, stop using the selective, dying language of the desert Arabs. You do not believe in Islam, you believe in submitting to ONE God. Others believed long before you and they have welcomed you into their countries and shared with you their technology, sciences and health care.
Indeed you receive benefits from those who received the message before you.
And this is the how you want to treat them?
If someone said that someone else said, that another had heard that Muhammad partied with the Jews, get your party on and enjoy. Just mind your manners, keep your hands in your pockets and lower your gaze.
49:10 The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy
Got that? That’s what Allah says, not some funky, lying wing nut. Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
A Non Muslim asks a scholar
I would be most grateful for your help with the following issue.
My daughter is a Christian (Woman of the Book) and she would like to marry a Muslim man and she does not want to change her religion.
They are both living in Singapore and I have been told that in Singapore because the Muslim relogion is not the dominant religion he cannot marry her unless she becomes a Muslim. Is this the case? If it is not, can they both be married in a Muslim wedding service even if my daughter remains a Christian and could the Muslim man also take part in a Christian wedding service after he has been married according to the Muslim tradition.
I am sorry to submit such a long question but this issue is causing considerable difficulties in our family and I would like to have the correct Muslim law on this issue so I can resolve the problem with the least upset to all. I thank you in anticipation.
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah.
Islam does not prevent marriage to a Christian woman if she is chaste. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
5:5 “This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking secret lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
What is meant by chaste women is that they are free (not slaves) and chaste (not loose or immoral).
What a loser! And he won’t shut up, he makes it worse…..
But if a woman is not chaste, and she has boyfriends or lovers with whom she is intimate, then Islam forbids marriage to her, whether she is a Muslim or a woman from among the People of the Book, just as it forbids marriage to a man who has girlfriends or lovers, to protect married life from collapse and to protect against mixing of lineages and to avoid causes of dispute, accusation and suspicion.
This is NOT what the Quran says. The Quran says, one who has had sex must marry someone else who has had sex. And a virgin must marry a virgin. And, this has nothing to do with her question and I doubt she’s feeling the love….as he continues….
With regard to the Muslim husband attending marriage parties according to the Christian tradition, this is not permissible because there will be many things in these celebrations that are forbidden in Islam, such as free mixing between men and women, listening to music, drinking alcohol, dancing etc.
In the hadith the Prophet said: “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not sit at a table where wine is being drunk.” Narrated by WTFC…(who the fk cares)
I would like to tell this woman that the scholar is a liar. Allah does not forbid men and women from mixing together, the Quran does not forbid music, the Quran does not forbid alcohol or dancing. And I challenge this miserable scholar to 2:23 bring forth your witnesses and...
4:135 O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be against rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts, lest ye swerve, and if ye distort justice or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well- acquainted with all that ye do
We thank you for your noble feelings and this good attitude and your keenness to ask about the Islamic rulings on this matter.
Oh like Hellfire! What was written was done so by a man who believes he is Allah. He does not speak the truth and his only goal is to cause misery. May he be well fed by my fruit!
And he ends with…
We ask Allaah to help you and guide you to the religion of Islam. Praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds.
Dumbass. I would like to give him an excuse, like, maybe he can’t read, or maybe he is mentally challenged. But I can’t. The Mother of the bride is obviously a Christian and wants a happy wedding. The idiot scholar just screwed that up by spreading lies! More fruit!!
A Muslim asks a scholar
Is it permitted for women to wear make up even if they do not contain any animal derived or alcohol ingredients?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah.
Making herself beautiful for her husband is one of the things that a woman should do. The more beautiful a woman looks for her husband, the more that will make him love her and that will create harmony between them. This is one of the objectives of sharee’ah, so if the makeup makes her look more beautiful and does not harm her, there is nothing wrong with that.
Ah, so by wearing make-up he won’t cheat on her, he will lower his gaze and not want to find other wives?
But I have heard that make-up can damage the skin of the face and change it in ways that make it look ugly and age the skin prematurely. I hope that women will ask their doctors about that, and if it is proven, then using make-up will be deemed to be either haraam or makrooh at the very least, because everything that causes deformity or makes a person ugly is either haraam or makrooh.
What he means is….use the cosmetics of the Christians and Jews as they have made cosmetics safe.
I would like to use this opportunity to discuss nail polish, (Why I ask?) which forms a layer on the nails. It is not permissible to use this if a woman is praying, because it prevents the water from reaching the nails when doing wudoo’ or ghusl, and it is not permissible to use anything that will prevent water from reaching the skin or nails when doing wudoo’ or ghusl. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
5:56 “wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows…”
Hmmm…not seeing the word nails here, or fingers…or thumbs. Yep, he be a liar. More fruit!
So if a woman is wearing nail-polish which prevents water from reaching her nails, then she is not really washing her hands, which means that she has omitted one of the obligatory parts of wudoo’ and ghusl. But if she is not praying, there is nothing wrong with her using it, unless this action is one of the unique characteristics of kaafir woman, in which case it is not permissible because it involves imitating them.
Never ask a straight man about make-up. The ancient Chinese, Egyptians and Inca stained their nails. They believed in many, many gods. They are considered idolaters. Wearing any kind of make up or nail polish would be imitating the ancient dead folk. So his advice is not only useless it’s stupid.
And Allah knows best.
So girls, get your colour on :D
A Muslim asks a scholar
I've been wondering about what I've heard some Muslims say about women going out, that they have to have some legitimate purpose to go out.Would going out for things that serve little purpose (like halal entertainment of some sort) as long as the woman wore the proper hijab?I and another muslim girl differ on this.
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allaah.
Islam came to protect women and their honour, and prescribed rulings that take care of that. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
33:33 “And stay in your houses”
Silly scholar, tricks are for kids. This verse was for the WIVES of Muhammad! ....and they’re all dead.
Girls, read all the words as many of these scholars are easily frightened by women and they WILL lie to you! Yes, the Quran did come to protect women because the desert Arabs were the worst of the worst! 9:97
Based on this, the general principle is that women should stay at home and not go out except for essential reasons or cases of need. Islam states that a woman’s prayer at home is better for her than her prayer in the mosque – even al-Masjid al-Haraam.
Another load of crap. Did Khadija stay home? Nope. She had a business to run. The Quran tells women to dress in modesty and not attract attention to yourself. And you are not to be prevented in attending services at the mosque. However, if the Imam at the mosque preaches like that scholar, stay the Hellfire away….as Muhammad says…those who imitate bad guys becomes one.
This does not mean that women have to remain prisoners in the house. Islam permits them to go to the mosque, and has made Hajj and ‘Umrah, Eid prayers, etc. obligatory for them. Among the kinds of going out that are prescribed are her going to visit her family and mahrams, and going out to ask religious questions from people of knowledge. Women are also permitted to go out for their own needs, but all of this has to be within the limits and conditions set out in sharia, such as being accompanied by a mahram when she travels, or being assured that her route is safe when she moves about in her own city or locality. She should also go out wearing complete hijaab, and she should not be wearing make-up, adornments or perfume.
Really? Sharia? Sharia are man-made laws designed to take all the fun out of life and keep you living in fear and oppression. Sharia is the main reason Muslims want to flee from Sharia run countries.
Allah wants you to enjoy life and to have fun. Just don’t get stupid.
7;26 O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember
Cover your privates. Your arms are not a genital. Neither is your hair.
7;31 O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess
Everything in moderation.
16;8 And He created the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and [as] adornment. And He creates that which you do not know.
So driving a 67 Mustang is halal…allowed, or any car with 'horse' power.
A number of texts have been narrated concerning this, including the following:
Ibn ‘Umar reported that the Prophet said: “If the wife of any one of you asks for permission to go to the mosque, do not stop her.” Narrated by al-Bukhari
If you’ve been reading my blog you know that Bukhari was an unbeliever. He believed in dreams and fortune tellers. Haram to his ham!
But this Hadith shows how bad these desert Arabs truly were! Their wives were their property. And sadly it is Sharia that rules the believers.
Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah said: my maternal aunt got divorced and wanted to go and pick some fruit from her trees. A man told her off for going out, so she went to the Prophet, and he said, “Never mind, go and pick the fruit from your trees. Maybe you will be able to give it in charity or do something good with it.” Narrated by Muslim
Hmm….why post this Hadith? Oh right, to show how bad the desert Arabs were.
The entertainment referred to in the question may involve mixing or looking at strangers (non-mahram men), or travelling without a mahram, or many things that are of no benefit. So you have to be cautious and make sure that the entertainment really is permissible and halaal, and free of any haraam things that would earn the punishment of Allah.
I know what’s on the forbidden list by heart, and none of this is on the list.
If a woman goes out to a place where there is nothing haraam going on and she does not go out too frequently, there is nothing wrong with this. We ask Allaah to protect us, keep us chaste and make our commitment to religion good and strong. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad
That last comment is shirk. The Quran says not to put one prophet above another.
For some un-godly reason, these fake scholars want to take the fun out of life, especially for girls. Many Sharia Muslims believe girls can’t be trusted –so- no fun for them. The real irony here is, Muhammad was way more cool than these scholars, and way more trusting than his companions. You’ve read the Hadith of Aiesha racing him on horseback, You’ve read the Hadith of his favourite wife, Khadija. These scholars act more like the perverted companions, and worse, they believe all men are as perverted and rotten as the first believers.
As he said to ‘Aiesha: “Were it not that your people have only recently left Jaahiliyyah (ignorance) behind, I would have demolished the Ka’bah and given it two doors.”
In this case he left what was better for the sake of harmony and softening hearts.
This Hadith clearly shows that Muhammad sought harmony not division. I don’t think Muhammad would have liked these scholars.
‘Imraan ibn Hittaan was one of ahl al-Sunnah (Sunni), and he married a Khaariji woman in order to set her straight, but then he ended up becoming one of the leaders of the Khawaarij.
Now that’s funny!
Imrran ibn Hittan found out that....
And to all that believe that life can be Happy...Have a Happy New Year!
Have fun and be safe!
