Az Zaqqum Islamic Scholar for the infidel: 09/01/2011

Friday Freaky Fatwa; Condom attack & Facebook

A Muslim asks a scholar

I have a retail business which sells condoms. Can you tell me if its harram to sell condoms to the kafir since they the only customers.

And the scholar replies

Praise be to Allah.

You have done well not to sell things that Allah has forbidden such as beer and pork. We ask Allah to bless you with a halaal provision and to compensate you with good.

The basic ruling is that it is permissible to sell condoms, unless the vendor knows or thinks it most likely that they will be used for haraam purposes, in which case it is not permissible to sell them.
Hey kafir, are you going to have zina with these condoms? No. I’m having Abdullah, do you know him?

The basic principle concerning that as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said is: “Every garment which one thinks will most likely be used for sinful purposes, it is not permissible to sell it or sew it for one who will use it for sinful and wrongful purposes.”
It’s better to mind your own business. Why do these (fake) scholars want you to cause trouble?

This does not apply only to clothes, rather it is general and applies to everything that may be bought or sold.
Clothes? I must email this scholar; he seems to think condoms are clothing.

It is forbidden to sell tobacco and lottery tickets, and every product which is known to involve something that is haraam.
No it’s not. Notice how they couldn’t back it up with Quran?

A Muslim asks a scholar

Is it allowed to use a condom or bith control pill? if so what are the conditions? Why were the Companion doing this?

And the scholar replies

Praise be to Allah.

Firstly, what the Muslims should do is to try to have as many children as they can, because this is the command of the Prophet , who Abu Dawood said he said: “Marry the one who is loving and fertile, for I will be proud of your great numbers before the nations.”
But I doubt he would be proud of 57 mostly poor and uneducated Sharia nations. Muhammad valued education.

Having more children increases the numbers of the ummah, and increasing the numbers of the ummah is a source of its glory, as Allah says, reminding the Children of Israel of His blessings:

15:6 “and made you more numerous in man-power”
And look how successful these children of Israel have become due to their high value of education! Allah knows what these (fake) scholars do not know. These scholars want you to be poor and uneducated, they must be challenged.

And Shu’ayb said to his people:

7:86 “And remember when you were but few, and He multiplied you”
WHAT? Hey, Shuayb you left out a lot!
7:86 Lurk not on every road to threaten wayfarers, and to turn away from Allah's path him who believeth in Him, and to seek to make it crooked. And remember, when ye were but few, how He did multiply you. And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!
Isn’t this exactly what these scholars are doing? Lurking on every road, turning you away from Allah and towards them? Look at your lands! And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!

No one can deny that having a large number is a source of pride and strength for the ummah, contrary to what those pessimists think who say that large numbers causes poverty and starvation in a nation.
See how they lie to you? It doesn’t have to be this way. Be the change that alters the future. Challenge the corruptors, the oppressors. It starts with one..you.

If the ummah increases in number, puts its trust in Allah and believes His promises as mentioned in the aayah,

11:6 “And no moving (living) creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah”
It’s so easy for them to use one sentence to deceive so many. The truth is the Quran is filled with verses on how Allah WANTS you to prosper and warns you that there will be some who will try and get in the way

18:20 "For if they should come upon you, they would stone you or force you to return to their cult, and in that case ye would never attain prosperity.
Do these scholars follow the Quran or the cult of the Hadith followers?

16:116 But say not - for any false thing that your tongues may put forth,- "This is lawful, and this is forbidden," so as to ascribe false things to Allah. For those who ascribe false things to Allah, will never prosper.
What these scholars tell you that is forbidden is not forbidden in the Quran. And even if the say Muhammad forbid something, we should all know by now that Muhammad could not forbid what Allah has not. Hadith would have you believe that Muhammad is equal to Allah, a partner, who can forbid and allow what Allah has not. Ask yourself, by following these Hadith, have you prospered?

10:69 Say: "Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper
And say this to anyone who forbids you something that Allah has not.

8:45 O ye who believe! When ye meet a force, be firm, and call Allah in remembrance much (and often); that ye may prosper
I believe this is in the Quran because Allah knew you’d be faced with the force of Hadith.

2:5 They are on true guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper
And whose guidance are you on?

2:16 These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper, neither are they guided.
Think about that.

Allah will make things easy for them and will grant them independence of means from His bounty. Based on that, the answer to your question is as follows:
Birth control pills:
A woman should not use birth control pills, unless the following conditions are met:
She should need to use them, for example if she is ill and cannot cope with a pregnancy every year, or she is physically unfit, or there is some other reason that getting pregnant every year may harm her.
Not many women can ‘cope’ with a pregnancy every year, nor should she be forced to. She knows her body and her capabilities. Her decision matters. There is absolutely nothing in the Quran that backs up this false claim of the (fake) scholars..

Her husband should give his permission, because the husband has the right to have children. There must also be consultation with the doctor, to find out whether these pills are harmful or not.
The husband has the right to have children as soon as he grows a womb. This is a joint decision.

If these two conditions are met, there is nothing wrong with taking these pills, but that should not be on a permanent basis, because that means preventing having children.
Every good parent wants the best for their children and that includes more than the basics of food and shelter. Education, love, time and nurturing are probably all equally important. Poverty makes this nearly impossible.

And Allah knows best
these scholars don’t really believe that.

A Muslim asks a scholar

If I don’t use a condom can I use coitus interruptus?

And the scholar replies

With regard to coitus interruptus, or withdrawing during intercourse, the correct scholarly view is that there is nothing wrong with it, because of the Hadith of Jaabir:
“We used to practise coitus interruptus at the time when the Quran was being revealed” – i.e., at the time of the Prophet. If that action had been forbidden, the Prophet would have forbidden it.
If there were no Hadith, wouldn’t know about this. Pretend there is no Hadith. The Quran says it’s complete. Believe it.

But the scholars say that one should not engage in coitus interruptus with a free woman except with her permission, because she has the right to have children.
The scholars lead you to believe that you can still have slaves. You can’t.

Moreover, withdrawing without her permission diminishes her pleasure, because the woman’s pleasure can only be completed after ejaculation.
Whaat??? Daayaam. I feel sorry for his wife! Just so you know, that is sooo not true!!

So not asking her permission causes her to lose out on pleasure and on the possibility of having children. Hence we state the condition that this may only be done with her permission.
because the woman’s pleasure can only be completed after ejaculation
I’m still laughing at that!

From Fatawa al-Shaykh Uthaymeen.
The reason why the Sahaabah (companions of Muhammad) engaged in coitus interruptus was because they did not want the woman – especially a slave woman – to get pregnant, so that they could continue to enjoy a physical relationship with them and the woman would still be able to do their work.
Gee, these sound like great guys, don’t they? Pffft!

And Allah knows best
but these scholars believe the companions knew best

A Muslim asks a scholar

Can I add non-mahram women to my list of Facebook friends for the purpose of offering advice?

And the scholar replies

Praise be to Allah.

We do not think it is permissible for a man to add any women who are not his mahrams to his list of friends, and especially we do not think it is permissible to correspond with them and chat with them.

Especially if they give the same stupid advice as these (fake) scholars!

What is more dangerous is when you can see them. That is because this opens the door to fitnah for those who get involved in it, and the tragic consequences that result from forming relationships between men and women are too many to list and too well-known to need mentioning.
In other words, these scholars don’t trust any of you…probably because they themselves cannot be trusted.

The Muslim should not be deceived by the Shaytaan’s making these relationships attractive by claiming that they are for the purpose of da‘wah, exhortation, advice and helping others.
Helping others is bad, especially when you grow up being told that you can’t be trusted. See how they affect your life?

If a man really is keen to call people to Islam, there are millions of his fellow males who need that, so he should hasten to add them and help them.
Because the Muslim men cannot be trusted?

The same might be said to sisters who want to help others: they have to do that their fellow females and leave calling and advising men to other men.

The scholars tell the men they can't be trusted and they tell the women they are stupid. I would never say anything like that but,

here is what I would say to the men; Live above what those expect from you.
And to the women I suggest the following;

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, “Oh crap!! She’s awake!!

Friday Freaky Fatwa--Can a Muslim take a Bribe?

A muslim asks a scholar

I have some work to get done with one of the government departments. Is it permissible to give or take a bribe?

And the scholar replies

Praise be to Allah.

Firstly; That’s code for; we’re gonna mess you up

Bribery is a major sin, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood ‘Amr who said: The Messenger of Allah cursed the one who gives a bribe and the one who takes it.
What does the Quran say?

So if you can get the work done without paying a bribe, then it is haraam for you to pay it.
And if not, can you take or give a bribe?

Secondly: the question should have been answered in “firstly”

If a person who has a right cannot get his right except by paying a bribe, then the scholars have stated that it is permissible for him to give the bribe in that case, and the prohibition applies to the one who takes it and not the one who gives it.
And exactly how does that apply to this question? Oh right, it doesn’t.

They quoted as evidence for that the report narrated by Ahmad from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab, according to which the Messenger of Allah said: “One of them asks me for something and I give it to him, and he goes out with it, carrying it under his arm, and it is nothing but fire for him.” ‘Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, why do you give it to them?” He said: “They insist on asking me, and Allah insists that I should not be stingy.”
Stupid Hadith. Why don’t the quote the Quran?

The Prophet gave money to these people even though it was haraam for them, so as to ward off any accusation of stinginess from himself.
Well he was a good guy, but what does any of this have to do with taking bribes?

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiya said: If he gives him a gift so that he will refrain from wronging him or so that he will give him his rights, this gift is haraam for the one who takes it, but it is permissible for the giver to give it to him.
Are you serious?? It’s ok to offer a bribe but forbidden to accept one? What religion do these scholars follow?

The scholars said: it is permissible to give a bribe to an official so as to ward off mistreatment, not to make him withhold a right, but his taking the bribe is haraam. For example, if a man gives something to a poet or someone else so that he will not tell lies about him in verse or otherwise, or so that he will not say something about his honour that it is haraam for him to say, it is permissible for him to give that to him, but what he takes so that he will not wrong him is haraam for him, because he should not wrong him anyway.
Their logic makes my brain hurt…and probably lands a lot of Muslims in prison.

Everyone who takes money so that he will not tell lies about people or so that he will not mistreat them, all of that is haraam earnings, because wronging and lying are haraam anyway, so he should refrain from them without any compensation that he takes from the one who has been wronged. If he does not refrain from doing that unless he is paid, then this is haraam earnings. End quote.
I agree with that, and at least they didn’t quote a Hadith to back it up.

The scholars said: The one who gives a gift to the one who is in authority so that he will do something for him that is not permissible, it is haraam for both the one who gives it and the one who takes it. This is the kind of bribe of which the Prophet said: “Allah has cursed the one who gives a bribe and the one who takes it.”
Back to Hadith, huh? Nothing from the Quran?

The Prophet used to say: “I give one of them something and he goes out with it under his arm, but it is fire.” It was said: O Messenger of Allah, why do you give to them? He said: “They insist on asking me, and Allah insists that I should not be stingy.”
What does that have to do with bribes?

Taqiy al-Deen al-Subki said: What is meant by the bribe that we have mentioned is what is given so as to ward off a right or obtain something falsely. If it is given in order to attain one’s right, then the prohibition applies to the one who takes it. But if the one who gives it cannot attain his rights except by this method, then it is permissible, but if he can attain his rights without it, then it is not permissible.
I have some work to get done with one of the government departments. Is it permissible to give or take a bribe? That was the question

Al-Hamawi (Hanafi) said in Ghamz ‘Ayoon al-Basaa’ir says: “What is haraam to take is also haraam to give”, such as riba, the wages of a prostitute, the fee of a fortuneteller, bribes, and payments to wailers and musicians,”
wailers??

Conclusion:

It is permissible for you to give a bribe and it is haraam for the official who takes it, but there are two conditions:

1- You should be giving it in order to take your rights or to ward off harm from yourself. But if you are giving it in order to take something to which you are not entitled, then it is haraam and is a major sin.

2- There should be no other means of obtaining your rights or warding off harm from yourself except this bribe.

And Allah knows best.
If they really believed that, they would have quoted something from Allah. Like these;
4:85 “Whosoever intercedes for a good cause will have the reward thereof, and whosoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in its burden. And Allah is Ever All-Able to do and also an All-Witness to everything

2:188"And do not eat up Your property among yourselves For vanities, nor use it As bait for the judges, With intent that ye may Eat up wrongfully and knowingly A little of other people's property.

2:9 They would deceive God and those who have attained to faith-the while they deceive none but themselves, and perceive it not.

6:70 Leave alone those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But proclaim (to them) this (truth): that every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own acts: it will find for itself no protector or intercessor except Allah. if it offered every ransom, or reparation, none will be accepted: such is the end of those who deliver themselves to ruin by their own acts: they will have for drink only boiling water, and for punishment, one most grievous: for they persisted in rejecting Allah
Boiling water and bitter fruit of the Az Zaqqum Tree. It’s not good.

5:106 O ye who believe! Let there be witnesses between you when death draweth nigh unto one of you, at the time of bequest two witnesses, just men from among you, or two others from another tribe, in case ye are campaigning in the land and the calamity of death befall you. Ye shall empanel them both after the prayer, and, if ye doubt, they shall be made to swear by Allah (saying): We will not take a bribe, even though it were on behalf of a near kinsman nor will we hide the testimony of Allah, for then indeed we should be of the sinful

22:30 That is the command. And whoso magnifieth the sacred things of Allah, it will be well for him in the sight of his Lord. The cattle are lawful unto you save that which hath been told you. So shun the filth of idols, and shun lying speech

5:38 Cut off the hand of the thief, male or female, as a recompense for that which they committed, a punishment by way of example from Allah.
The correct answer to this question would be;

NO! YOU CANNOT TAKE BRIBES!

A Muslim asks a scholar

A man used to accept bribes. Then Allah guided him to righteousness. What shall he do with what he used to earn as bribe?

And the scholar replies

There can be two situations. Really?

Either the bribes he used to accept were from those that had been wronged who had to offer bribe as a means of obtaining what was their right, in which case the repentant should return them their amounts or articles or whatever.
whatever

For what he took from them is considered as having been taken by force or through deceit.
All bribery is considered deceit.

Or, the bribe was taken from an unjust man like he himself was before repenting. (That is, someone who achieved or attained things via bribes which were not his right.) This amount is not to be returned to him. Instead the repentant should spend it in a charitable way, such as on the poor and the destitute. Likewise, he must repent the harm he caused to people by giving their right away to others who had no right to them, but rather obtained them via the use of bribes.
The correct answer would be to return the bribery money. Bribery is a lie, a deceit, a theft, a major sin.

The definition of bribes or bribery is;
The offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of something of value for the purpose of influencing the action of an official in the discharge of his or her public or legal duties
Bribery constitutes a crime to promise, offer, or give something, usually money, to a person to procure services or gain influence, especially illegally
a reward, such as money or favour, given or offered for a purpose

gift offered to persuade a person to do something, usually dishonest
Bribery, a form of corruption, is an act implying money or gift giving that alters the behavior of the recipient.
Bribe - From Old French, it was originally a piece of bread given to beggars.

2:11 And when they are told, "Do not spread corruption on earth," they answer, "We are but improving things!"

11:85 O my people! Give full measure and full weight in justice, and wrong not people in respect of their goods. And do not evil in the earth, causing corruption

There’s a whole book filled with this stuff. Someone should read it.

Friday Freaky Fatwa-Witches names and Coke

A Muslim asks a scholar

Will the repentance of a witch be accepted by Allah? Because I heard that a witch asked the companions about repenting after the death of the Messenger and no one answered her. What did they say to her? Would her faith benefit her before Allah? Why do the scholars issue fatwas about the acceptance of the witch’s repentance in this case

And the scholar replies

Praise be to Allah.

A practitioner of witchcraft may do something that makes him an apostate and should be executed for his apostasy. Or he may practise witchcraft by doing something that does not constitute kufr. In that case there is a difference of scholarly opinion, but the correct view is that he should also be executed if it is proven that he is a practitioner of witchcraft. This is what the companions did and enjoined other to do. If he is executed, he should not be washed or shrouded or buried in the Muslim graveyard.
The companions have now been made into prophets by the scholars. The Quran does not say to kill a witch or an apostate. Stupid scholars.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

2:102 “They followed what the devils gave out falsely of the magic in the lifetime of Solomon. Soloman did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Haaroot and Maaroot, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, ‘We are for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us).’”
But they weren’t killed.

The Quran says this;
42:25 “And He it is Who accepts repentance from His slaves, and forgives sins”

24:31 “And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”

So Allah can forgive but Muslims can’t?
Is that really a good message? Hell no!

If a practitioner of witchcraft repents sincerely to Allah, then Allah will accept his repentance. This is between him and his Lord, before the matter reaches the courts.
What happens if the matter reaches court?

But if the matter reaches the Islamic court, then they should execute him without asking him to repent, so as to rid society of his evil.
Holy crap!

But in this world it is not accepted. The correct view is that he should be executed, even if he says, “I have repented.”
His repentance between him and Allah is valid, if he is sincere, and that will benefit him before Allah, but according to the Islamic ruling he is to be executed.
Ok, I’m thinking that because the scholars are such liars that they believe ALL Muslims are liars.

‘Umar executed the practitioners of witchcraft, because their evil is great. They may say, “We have repented,” but they may be lying, and the people will be harmed and may not be safe from their evil because of the repentance that they show. So they should be executed, and their repentance will benefit them before Allah if they are sincere.
So basically it doesn’t matter what the Quran says as the scholars have decided that the dead companions knew better. Good luck with that on judgment day.

And when the great Sahaabi Jundub ibn ‘Abd-Allah saw a practitioner of witchcraft playing with his head – making the people think that he was cutting off his head and putting it back – he approached him without him realizing and killed him, and said: “Now put your head back if you are telling the truth!”
That’s almost funny

It is narrated by Bukhari; ‘Umar wrote to the commanders of the troops telling them to execute every practitioner of witchcraft they found, so as to guard against their evil. Abu ‘Uthmaan al-Nahdi said: “We executed three practitioners of witchcraft.
Alright here’s what I really think…I think a real witch would have turned them all into frogs legs…then ate them.

A Muslim asks a scholar

I have been told by one of my friend that drinking coke is haram because if we see it in mirror the way its been written it becomes "LA ALLAH LA MUHAMMED" witch means no ALLAH no Muhammad, and she says who ever drinks it is not a Muslim, please kindly let me know how true it is, and is it really haram or not, thanks.

And the scholar replies

Praise be to Allah.

What has been said about Coca Cola, that there is written on it the words “La Allaah la Muhammad” and that this can be seen by looking at the writing in a mirror, is not true, so there is no Sharia ruling that follows from that.
Only because Coca Cola wasn’t invented at the time of the companions and Bukhari…and a witch didn’t drink it

You should keep away from over exaggerations and illusions that have no basis.
Really? I say that to you guys every Friday

But if the company that produces it is hostile to Islam and supports its enemies, then it should be boycotted for that reason.
Then they all grabbed a bottle of coca cola and called it a day

And Allah knows best.
I heard Allah prefers Pepsi

A Muslim asks a scholar

I got married recently My wife's name is "SAHIRA"

What does "Sahira" mean in Quranic Arabic

2. If it has a bad meaning then should I change it

And the scholar replies

Praise be to Allah

Sihr (magic, witchcraft) is a word used to describe spells, incantations and knots used for purposes of witchcraft which have an effect on people’s hearts and bodies, so that may cause sickness, kill or cause division between a man and his wife. Allah says;

2:102 “And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife”
but it doesn’t say anything about names..

Sihr is a devilish action, most of which is only achieved by means of shirk and drawing close to the shayaateen (devils) by means of that which they love.

The saahir (practitioner of witchcraft) is the one who does this action. The word Saahirah describes a woman who does that.
And the word Islam is Arabic for one who believes in one God. These scholars believe the companions can make laws like God. Must be witch craft….should they be killed?

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

113:4 “And from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots”

This is a references to female witches (sawaahir pl. of saahirah).

20:69 “and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount (of skill) he may attain”
So if they will never become successful, what’s the problem?

Bukhaari;The Prophet said: “Avoid the seven sins which doom a person to Hell” – among which he mentioned sihr (witchcraft).

Can a name do all that? If so, then all these guys named Muhammad should be prophets....actually, I think many think they are.

The word sihr is sometimes used to refer to permissible things such as eloquence and the ability to express oneself in a clear and moving manner, which stirs people’s hearts, as in the words of the Prophet: “Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic.”
Aw…now that’s nice

Whatever the case, it is preferable to change this name, but you must avoid names which may have false meanings or which may cause confusion or lead to the person being accused. The Prophet used to change ugly names to good names.
But you guys are not prophets and this is not in the Quran.

Names carry meanings, as it is said, and everyone is influenced by his name. So we are required to choose good names that have meanings.
If you belong to a tribe then yes, names carry meanings. But if you live in a civilized society then it’s the actions that carry meanings.

And Allah knows best
Allah is an Arabic word that means God. God is the English word that means God. So let me change the meaning and write;
God knows best…did that really change the meaning?

In Saudi Arabia they have a terrible time with witches. One was arrested for making a man impotent. I say, if she really was a witch she would made his part fall off.
