Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth | Session 15

all right let's see bugs right so step back see if you guys can hear me okay all right salamualikum' right a man has my robot if any of you could just give me a shout

out with the Kevin I'm right chicken nothing quite like chai so let's see people animal Selina where have we got to right you can you can can you hear me fine yes I have to apologize for Abu Salam aleikum clearly here you okay sugar and okay I got that from Adam and washy sugar and sugar and sugar and I do up I have to first of all let's begin in

alhamdulillah wa kafa what salatu salam wa al Mustafa already live in October woman be hotel mr. Bobby Arthur Leigh Allen matinecock toughie Oh Bart phenomenologically come along salmon was shukran look at that love right back cable right back got you right ha ha ha look at this this this teacher isn't actually from the Boxing Day sales or anything like I bought this a little while back just never worried and thought today being the devilish time I might as well wear the skull I don't know why I'm drawn to these kind

of things by the way so right now I want to first of all explain that the reason why I'm more often than not usually always late is one because it's just in my DNA obviously being Pakistani so I'm not gonna apologize for the other thing is I'm actually in the evening I actually take live cases and I'm dealing with live cases and issues and things like that and a lot of it is usually over the phone and stuff like this and and it goes on for hours a lot of them revolve around relationship matters and I know

other things too but so that's what usually gets me late at this kind of time because it's difficult cutting people off you can't just when in the middle of a meltdown you can't just tell them all right I got a shoot now so anyway let's get back to more important things I am going to be having the questions forwarded to me provided my my Mufti helpers are on point and they are ready to forward to me the question right okay

Ryan just doing that so cool let's so let's get the ball rolling the weight is right I don't want to open with that question that's him behave open with a question on miss y'all but I'll come back to it I'll come back kick right why are people so obsessed about your clothes you're here no idea why people are obsessed I have to say I think people you know what as well sometimes

some people have asked me about about they've asked me about my hair and so you know my hair is actually actually is spiky the way it is it when I say spiky is in right now I've got no products on and it's just it kind of stands like that obviously if I have longer hair which I did many years ago when I used to have like I could type back in a ponytail almost I mean I could tie it back but I never used to waist have really long here then it will drop but otherwise it will just spike so just in case you know whew people think why the spikes having said that I do like spikes anyway but let's

get back to some questions people's and questions right he's good enough for leading problems Ahmed right no it is not we do not in the school of Medina does not believe the covering of the head to be a Sunnah okay and imam shot to be answers that well when he says in his book the mafia part which is on the opposite of sharia and he answers that where he covers custom and convention and orphan either and he says that in the west and the west then was north

western Africa and Western Europe so Spain Portugal parts of Sicily whatever in between wherever there were Muslims he says we the Muslims of the West do not conventionally cover our heads the men and he says whereas in the East they have this convention of covering that of their heads so if you were in the east and you didn't cover your head they would look down on you and see that as a a problem but here in the West it does not impact us so that's interesting discussion Imam Shafi presents let's also before getting into I'm having the question sent to me by the way

so sugar and sugar and look at that okay look at that all those love hearts coming right at me sugar and right back at you people right back at you so the thing is I want to discuss before getting into this that I don't know if you've noticed but what's very recent is on the news and I feel it does have a connection with the UK but in Pakistan those of you who are we're aware of Imran Khan I'm sure all of you are aware of Imran the Imran Khan who was the cricket legend I'm not personally into cricket but I mean he was the cricket

legend and he runs a political party known as PTI Pakistan tehreek-e-insaf the movement for justice now he's a bit of a social person somebody who's all about the it's like a socialist it is a socialist party so it's one of the I think it's perhaps the only socialist party impacted but anyway he recently has been accused by a mufti what's his name of this I I forgotten his but musty Carter his surname is cuddly and he's been accused by this

musty of blasphemy and therefore has of proper against him of coup far and this Mufti has said that should he not publicly retract his statement and do tawba then we will declare him to be watchable uttal okay we will declare him to be mandated to be executed and this execution although he says initially will fall upon the state to execute him but should they fail to do so then

should any member of her big blameworthy from an Islamic perspective right now I'm just gonna close this real place sound was kind of semi on all right so now this so this thing that they and what they're basing this on is an E and he says this about two people this most leaders one about Imran Khan and one the son of Salman Taseer persecuted by his

by his statutory God whose name was Mumtaz Qadri and who said he execute him for the love of professionalism now the thing is so that Salman Taseer has been executed his son sana Shanta see he also the same of T has this fatwa against him as well that he too is mandated to be executed right so now with these things in mind what they're saying this before I come back to speaking about this hour I want to give it the ground

Imran Khan what he had said was during a speech speaking about the turmoil that they going through and Pakistan and their movement he said that sometimes I he said I I find out and I find these things and he said I go through times of darkness and what I find as a solace is the verse of the Quran and he's speaking about surah taha and he says I find these verses an absolute solace and comfort for me that when the professor al salam had initially he says this as well he says when the Prophet had

initially received revelation then there was a a cut off for several I mean whether it was for six months or whatever the the people disagree but there was a cut off and during this time the professor Allison became extremely anxious and very turbulent like he didn't understand what was going on and he because he saw revelation and then he had nothing so it was a time when the according to the hadith the Prophet Solomon himself and that what what is happening to me like did I imagine that was it an imaginary was it an

hallucination was and and this is as some of the rewire ethically was going this was a am I going insane and so this is what Imran Khan says and then he says and then Allah revealed some of the greatest verses to say look that not only has Allah not forgotten you but you're going through this time of darkness then look back at your life and at the often who was feeding him at the one who had no guidance who was guiding him that it was allah so if allah could take care of you in those times then why can he not take care of you in this time

and Imran Khan is mentioning this as a source of comfort to say look if we are facing tough times look at our past that Allah has been there for now this person says oh my god how can you refer to the processor al-salam in the word insanity so he says therefore you have blasphemes you have left Islam you are now a kaffir you must and Yousef alaikum assalam I just want to say that this cancer this is actually a cancer that has plagued seriously huge proportions of this Ummah

this is an apse this is extremism this is horrid ism this obsession to control and excommunicate and Chuck people out of the fold of Islam right this well why he is one of the greatest I don't know if we can say diseases or calamities that has befell this Ummah and I I just pray that none of this really or if it has crept into the western part of this world that may you know a lot of guys people

may these people open their eyes from this kind of pathetic rhetoric this kind of I love the way Maulana tariq jameel said in response to these kind of issues when he was asked about them and he said about people doing takfeer calling people kaffir trying to check them out of the fold of Islam he says yeah hey it rest is these people he says Garfield yeah company yeah like you know like he says like I don't understand other cool far like do we feel that the co far have become so few

in number oh yeah come per game okay disco take okay is Kobe comfortable now's to be covered by now like make him a Kaffir make him a Kaffir kr car from me come eparchy okay we soak you know we haven't got enough go far in the world so we need to declare Muslims go far yes I am I am I am ho and I'm disgusted to my cool at this kind of Islamic you know I because it takes the shade of Islam that's the problem this this kind of attitude and I needed to

highlight it just in case you people weren't aware of this and this is going on and we really this behavior has no place in Islam and it definitely has no place in the modern world and you know this kind of like Jorge McAfee McAfee we've become a laughingstock seriously and it's no surprise that people want to abandon Islam because it's just full of this kind of nonsense it isn't inherently but people are full of this kind of nonsense and they keep giving it the veneer of Islam anyway so that seems to be going on so if you're if you do see that that's the background

to it I want you to know that it is these things are not blasphemy okay Imran Khan and people what they're doing they are not the polka you know for the love of God blasphemy is somebody intending to insult intending hating God and His Messenger I'm wanting to insult them not somebody saying something which you are just sitting there trying to find faults with okay so anyway I just want to highlight that right let's take some Junaid saying I've sent you a friend request all right I'll look into that inshallah let's take a look at some

of these questions people write is Nation of Islam part of traditional Islam phase Ilyas has asked that now reversed camera have to remind people that Nation of Islam in its the way I understand it that Farid Mohammed is was was God was Allah he took the form of this person he was incarnated reincarnated or whatever as as this Farid whatever and and then he chose my

Elijah Muhammad to be his kind of a peaceful is his messenger and the final and so on and so forth this understanding is not from the Islamic paradigm okay so they are not part of to be understood as part of Islam or the Islamic community although that they do have huge overlaps which they borrow from Islam they do borrow from other religions too now it's not a picture of the devil on your t-shirt well I don't think the devil has a human skeleton Lizzy right have you ever been to the States

Omar Khan I have been to the States on two occasions generally to to Missouri or misery st. Louis right so I've been the sorrow knee which books would you recommend for learning Shirou whole hadith which is not so hadith a type like something Sufi philosophy like I mean which has depth in no sabe the the books I mean there's this great books of commentaries on hadith I mean there's so many I don't know what to really begin

with if you're talking about Bihari Fat Albert I mean there's so many commentaries on Bihari that were out recently they're huni's Asha be his or huni's alpha thought there is an awesome commentary and if you talk about Tommy the evening Arby's if you're talking about the mapa the so many al burgees monta cognitive part is Steve Kerr the masala k-- of Eve no arabe I mean this is so many if you talking about Sahih Muslim are the odds which is a commentary upon al Masri oh you could look at mom no with commentary if you're

looking at abu dawood oh no Mahmoud is an excellent commentary it also carries the in its footnotes and the epitheliums commentary if you're talking I'm just trying to think what I mean there's so many I hope that's given some some kind of insight with Bihari there were so many more than that have been brought into print now as well Castellani is this Chinese a little re there's I mean this is so many that have been brought into print now right let's see sorry that man would love to know where the gelatine is really harm many people believe the

product has changed right now I have done a reasonable explanation on gelatine which is available on YouTube as an audio as an audio file so you can listen to that they I think it's about 15-20 minutes long I do go through the entire ad diversity this law the people on either side you know if not al hakam and other people and all these rulings and review surf and I mention in great detail in summary what I do say is that I do

believe esta hala which is the the chemical chemical property change transmission has occurred to a sufficient quantity if you like what I say is if if you had something which was gelatine free and gelatine and both were easily accessible then it's better in my understanding to take um to take the the the gelatine free just to stay you know in line with everybody and you've got no

problems they if however there is there is an a gelatin free option it's just gelatine and you want the thing and you need it I do personally believe it is permissible so that's my understanding although I do recognize that orlimar have disagreed with that okay so I hope that gives some shed some light okay does having images or photos of people displayed in the house stop angels entering the house now I have answered this with a you know with considerable detail previously but just to shed some light I do not believe that photographs would stop people from entering angels from entering the house

that's actually quite silly when we think about it first of all there were no photographs in the time of the prophesy Allison secondly there were pictures and pictures did exist in the time as in drawn out very basic kind of like artistry was there even in the prophets house of certain animals and things like this and and the famous incident about the processing move the curtain from there because it distracted me from my Salah the Prophet didn't say oh my god there's a picture how can Angels come in he said remove it it's distracted me because according to the school of

Medina you look ahead when you pray although you can also look at the place of so truth so this was this this so this is as far as pictures are concerned and and I did highlight and you can check my previous I went into considerable detail about statues this was really this ruling was because people were new to Islam that's what it was it's not really something that would apply and it's silly saying how angels can't come in like this oh I mean can the Angel of Death still coming or does the Angel of Death not coming either so

I think that's it's as it's not you know the answer is of course they can come in and photos are permissible jameelah Hickman has said if a human has free will and Allah but everything is Wade Wade Allah and he knows everything that will happen then there is someone's fault if they don't accept Islam or is it just his plan see this is really part of the paradox that we have within the within faith and there are some very problematic questions which we don't and we'll never truly understand in my understanding I believe humans have

humans have free will okay I know I believe that is how the Quran addresses us and that is the understanding I take from the Quran and the school of Medina that that humans have free will okay we are not doomed I don't believe we are doomed from birth okay I believe we have been given free will if you're going to say doomed from the angle that Allah knows eventually what you will do then that is true Allah does know but he is not making you do

that he has within this system he has created a kind of dynamism within this narrative of us we we have choice and he's allowed us to exercise it it's like you playing a video game now sure somebody has designed that game and somebody has designed that it can fail at every stage and somebody the design has also allowed for it to reach the end now we you will achieve what you will achieve in that game and where you will

get to is based on your ability that's what this is like okay the only difference is that Allah has encompassing knowledge and so he and time doesn't allow is not bound by time so he knows the eventual outcome but the playing and the potential I the actualization and the potential within the game is due to the is up to the player okay so that's my understanding I know people historically say things like no way compelled and and all this kind of things which are really just

self contradictory right so what is the purpose why would Allah create people just to punish them it does not make any sense to me it does not make any sense in my understanding and it is not the paradigm by which the 4-iron addresses us so if you read the Quran the Quran is addressing us all about choice all about reflection all about it's you and that's the understanding that I go by okay does the Quran contains synonyms or does every word have its own specified meaning hadith verses rich theab verses

là-bas okay Muhammad good question the Arab Lama generally say and by that I mean the all amount of the Arabic language they generally say that latter out of Bill arabiya that there is no synonyms there are no synonyms in Arabic that all words have a a kind of key defining point to them although there's a huge overlap to be fair I've heard I've even heard by English linguists the same thing being

said okay that in English there are no absolute synonyms that's I've heard that from on certain courses and lectures by expert linguists once again allah wa alhamdulillah things may seem similar they may seem identical yet they may be a very delicate nuance of a difference so they're not understanding it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist Lisa Admiral ailment will Adam the absence of knowledge is not the knowledge of its

absence okay let's take the next question people write of zalqara sugar and abbas al Hader II who highlighted that the mostly I was speaking about earlier on the the crackpot who seems you know what they ought to have Pakistan as part of its legislative order has something known as a national action plan part of which religious incitement to hatred is actually illegal will leave Rama issuing death warrants is illegal but yet for some reason and Pakistan doesn't seem to chase these people up but they ought to

so had earlier that Ed it's acceptable for women not to wear hijab in the West now because it may harm this safety due to Islamophobic attack what's your thought well Jamila Heckman the thing is that naturally safety is paramount okay if somebody's feels that their safety may be compromised that is their personal call nobody can dictate to them what their threshold of insecurity ought to be so if some woman is feeling

intimidated because of her hijab I do believe she does not have to wear hijab based on that situation I don't believe it has to be a life-death situation it's enough for her to be intimidated and frightened that she can do that that's my understanding and all a man may disagree with that and once again the Keith purpose of hijab was modern see okay the purpose of hijab today we call hijab this thing around the head that is not traditionally or in the Sharia I called the hijab the hijab in the Sharia is actually a modest covering

so it's not specified with the head or the body it's just a covering which is modest so modesty is what is paramount and and women can and there's many non-muslim women who are very modest in the attire and this non-muslim women who may not be so as modest in their attire and these Muslims who are modest and not as modest and that's what this whole thing is about so if somebody's feeling threatened because of something around the head then look what I'm trying to say is there's no point I mean it's up to them if they want to pull that risk it's their call if they don't want to it's they cool this isn't the end of the

world in my Malik in some of his Futaba regarding the he was more lenient than he was with other things he he says that a woman generally according to most of the folk AHA around slave slave men that she owned and she was not a letter she was not a madam to these men mean and she was not entitled to be sexual and there wasn't any kind of sexual relationship going on between them yet she according to Imam Malik didn't have to cover her head in front of them okay so that's Imam Alex fatwa in the Madonna

and you also see if nosh just say that some people felt that the the hey although he doesn't go into who he's talking about but he says in his stuff see dat wapella are us and he says and you know it's said that even the head doesn't have to be covered but the point is the majority position is that yes the hair and the head is covered but in these circumstances if somebody's feeling threatened or intimidated its they cool and nobody can judge them judge them over that right budget inefficiencies Albahari re fitna be jumera it may be Jumeirah yes of course

Muhammad Allah hire him for sharing that that was to the question earlier about the commentaries on hadith if Naveed Gemara in his budget amorphous does have a very Sufi kind of angle as you've probably gathered hahaha I'm not really the best person to ask about these kind of very spiritual Suffolk matters really and more to me I believe and I believe this is what the Dean is built upon is it's built upon reason this is what distinguishes humans from other

creatures reason right our ability our faculty to reason that's what I'm obsessed about that's what I believe this Dean was all about beginning with the term acara Reid why because you can do you have reason okay this whole message that hey just think about this this was all about reason so that's the kind of things I'm into obviously I'm into Falcon and all these other awesome Sciences too but really Sufi kind of texts and stuff like that I mean I'm a know certain things obviously being in

in the field of the Islamic Sciences but I'm not an expert on which are the best mystic texts and stuff like that right is there an English version of alpha part I have no idea I know a lot of work has been done on Imam a shot to be God willing sure Allah give me topic I would want within this year to do a course an elaborate course when I say labra meaning at least several lectures whether that's I don't know six to ten whatever is something between that number on the morph apart

and on the mikasa of Sharia because I feel a mom shot to be hasn't been truly understood by many people and and people may say the same about me that I haven't understood him but I feel that many people especially from a Salafi background and things like that that believe in hadith absolutism over hadith relativism and people that don't make a distinction between hadith and Sunna and people who don't really believe in in in applied McCarthy today they believe in in theory in McCarthy's but not in

McCarthy deployed they seem to have lectured on topics like McCarthy and Imam Shafi and they seem to just paint such a distorted picture oh yes of course we love Makar said of course we to a man shout to me people and this is them saying people have misunderstood him of course he didn't mean use this he just meant that the Sharia Hasmik acid which is the right everybody knows the Sharia had map acid what was the purpose of writing this book and why did it revolutionize everything right so I would like to insha'Allah God willing do that within this year at some point may

Allah give me tawfiq right I mean right so how can we get peace in our homes real peace at makan what a question how can we get peace that is the true do you not feel in some ways this is the human search what is our this journey through our life is it not just to gain a level of contentment is it not to you know this this unsettled kind of turbulence do we not all carry that in our hearts I mean I I I feel we do I feel that is that is part

of this email but it depends what you mean by peace that's if you if you mean by this quest this unquenched thirst this kind of question mark that is still there then I think that is part of this message that will always be okay that as long as there is man they will be this kind of this question they search this quest but if you mean by that everyday survival like everyday matters

like arguing bickering if that's what you mean then of course they can be peace from these things and life should not be like that okay god forbid life be like every day full of or mostly full of bickering and arguments and if somebody's life is like that then they need to stop and seriously evaluate what's going on if you are arguing with let's say your wife or husband almost on a daily but even if you're arguing once a week like arguing

then I think that's a problem it's a huge problem and I don't mean by that just a little oh come on what the hell I don't mean like that but an argument then I think you need to actually sit down and you need to you need to first of all think what is going on and you need to have a dialogue okay that this is unacceptable I mean the quality of life will be seriously impacted by just having one argument a week I mean if you're living with somebody can you imagine that shared space negativity tension god damn I could not live like that as a person

I'm just saying I so I think you have to discuss realize find out what it is try to resolve and inshallah hopefully you can find some resolution natural naturally look relationships things like this there was already quite it's okay and it's true waters will compromise more the other right so but we usually tell a sin life isn't and I think that you have to have an understanding and and there are some

relationships and there's unfortunately there's many relationships as well to be honest with you they've actually just past their sell-by date they expiry date they are simply on a life-support machine they are dead white and they are not in a way warm helpful positive they are only negative they are only wearing people down those relationships if they are like that way you can't stand each other when you resent each other then as allah says in the quran inside come be my roof you either stay together you hold on to the

relationship with kindness o the Surya hum be a son you part ways gracefully if you're not getting on with somebody this it's not till death do us part right okay if somebody resents you they can't stand you I mean why do you want to be with somebody who can't stand you anyway so I think then you should just part ways gracefully so if that's what the question was about then I hope that's on today okay is the incident of the prophecy Allison I'm splitting the moon literal I read that it's talking about it as a future reference on the day of judgment okay what are good

question what I would like to say is that the miracles which are attributed to the Prophet salah salem the true miracle that is attributed to the Procellarum is the quran and this message is the prophets miracle other secondary or tertiary miracles that are attributed to the Prophet Allah Salim are attributed as events which have apart from a belief factor associated to them for people who will come after they have no bearing on your or my daily

Islam okay so and that is one that in itself is a miracle almost in you know metaphorical terms of how Allah has constructed Islam this theme he has not wanted us he has not based such a huge thing on certain factors that people some people may not believe in that some people may struggle with so should they trouble with this the whole thing may collapse Allah has not based this on weak foundations

so the Deen is not at all based on miracles okay miracles are they are events so let's say the splitting of the moon or people say water flowing and things like this these miracles are simply transmitted to us as events that occurred and they are Akbar in the Sharia we call them Akbar that's all they are just rubber it's something which may on a it's a qualitative input not a quantitative input okay so it does

not impact your Eman in any way if anything equality tively may improve may increase your Wow for the message of allah so alum which was already there but it just adds to it if you struggle with certain aspects of certain miracles then no part of the deen hinges on that no faith hinges on that so meaning yes I know part of the meaning the the anecdotal part of the Deen but it not the Dean as a faith does not hinge upon whether you accept miracles or not so

that is from the beauty and that is a moralist beauty of Islam okay so I hope that shed some light and people shouldn't by the way people shouldn't kind of intimidate and black people try to guilt trip them into saying well if you don't believe this you're no longer a Muslim and if you shouldn't do this look let people be comfortable with the faith Iman was something that should he should really it should complement our daily lives well like that Dean if anything should be complementary and never be an

impediment and if somebody is struggling with something assist them don't trip them over don't try to guilt trip them don't try to emotionally blackmail them don't see a logic back mail them don't try to pretend that you're in control of the gates of Hell and saying well you know if you you're gonna I'm gonna open the gates here in you go you know you are not in charge of the gates of Hell neither of the gates of heaven so have compassion for people and they struggle okay right next question Robin

asking Ramirez right asking are all non-muslims go far I know the answer I just want to write okay you see there's a difference Allah speaks in the Quran about this Deen reaching people Hatta Tatia Holman 'bageena okay until the Hodja reaches people the bayyinah the absolute undisputed clear evidence the burhan which is people is evident is clear-cut undisputed categorical reaches people

rasoolum min allahi tat Luce ah ha ha ha ha that messengers reciting these pure scripture to the people the messengers doing it Allah could have said you doing as well the messengers so when the prophet and Allah what does he say about the prophet in nicholalala who look in our theme indeed you are upon a great characteristic equality you are impeccable in your characteristics

in your character you will not misrepresent this message will people misrepresent it most definitely many will when people undersell it many definitely will will people misinterpret it yes many will so the thing is that when people spread Islam I don't believe that the beginner has been established okay I believe that yes and attempt of that one has taken place that's all I'm

calling it an attempt of Dawa most likely in our day and age definitely a distorted version in most cases in some cases maybe not okay so yes now what does this mean well from the dunya we sense from the worldly perspective Islam lays out for us several rules okay rules like okay do you pay zakat who do you give zakat to do you go on Hajj who goes on when certain things in which it groups so for example this is a Masjid Masjid are certain rules this is so on

and and Muslims have certain things that they saw Muslim must pay zakat a non-muslim doesn't need to pace okay so he groups people into this category of a Muslim and a kafir this is from a perceptible angle that's all not from a objective truly object I mean from our perspective yes it seems objective but not from God's perspective necessarily so we're not talking about the quality a qualitative approach in terms of Eman and Kufa this is simply a

legalistic approach it's a a perception perception aleast approach that's all it is so we in the dunya will call many people kaffir we will call them Co far in terms of our rulings to understand does this mean they are the Co far of the akhirah in the afterlife are they the co far they I believe most people in our day and age are not over there because the most people today come on let's face it the reaching them is so distorted it's almost impossible I'm actually shocked people embrace Islam I think I would like you all to take a moment and

reflect that if you were non-muslim would you embrace Islam today I know what my answer would be most likely Allah on them and you know I would like you to reflect on that so I hope that's of some some help I still don't get John Bosley saying your affinity to dogtags look it each to their own as the poet says in Arabic while in NASA female y una Missouri boo and people each to their own in what they love in what they like okay so everybody has a taste

everybody has a style so you wouldn't want me to dress exactly like you to be exactly like you I wouldn't want you to be exactly like me I mean we would want our idiosyncrasies our individuality okay and it's and that's the way that and this Dean loves that about people Allah says you know what 50 lafi I'll say I'll wanna come Wilson have to come in a favela Kayla ayat look how different you are your colors your tongues look out different your languages are

Allah says in that is a last sign a sign that truly Wow so our visuality is is I think that there's no harm in encouraging individuality so it's all good you know that this is a hadith that The Messenger of Allah saw Allison sat down and I believe is holid well who who was eating a bob and a dub is it's like it's it's the Arabian kind of lizard it's not these geckos not these small little lizards huge kind of lizards and

he was eating that and he proceeded to the messenger of allah and the messenger allah says and he and he asks a Haram on why is it Haram and the a Lhasa al-salam says no he says well he says Lama Jade who fear they call me for aji Tony a foo he says my people they never used to eat this that my people were I'm from the Prophet said Koresh they never used to eat this so I find myself disgusted by I'm almost I find it nauseating but it's not Haram you by all means eat it okay so go for it

that so this is how Islam and there's nothing wrong with these things are not Haram right these things are jewelry we have to get something into we have to understand something okay by default all rulings are permissive all things are permissible okay all rulings all things are permitted by default unless proven otherwise now once you have that basis prove otherwise don't expect me to prove its legitimacy okay Allah says quality Halep

Allah , fill our day Jimmy on he created everything in the earth for you that's my belief that everything is permissible okay now you show me where this is Haram but you have to show me with conclusive 'ti don't just say man tashabbaha be home in because i that is one of the most misquoted hadith that we have in this century and the last century this or whoever imitates a people because women with this I mean what women do you know that hang razor blades around their necks apart from the Vikings hell yeah but from lagertha anyway so the thing is

now let's move on to the next question what do you think about reforming of Islam as Majid Nawaz preaches Hina Ahmed has us see the thing is I disagree with Majid nawaz's approach I don't look people every person can have a valid perspective the thing about Majid know us is I is I believe is that he began in a way that just kind of targeted the Muslim community or a appear to target now I also critique many things but I do

strongly believe in positive networking I believe in in in in this tradition of us this in in in the classical tradition I believe in this strongly I did have dedicated years of my life to it I believe in all a man I disagree with many of them strongly but I love and respect as well the tradition I will meet people I will go out of my way to host them personally to accommodate for them to provide if they're if they're coming to my city Birmingham we always try to reach out to people too we provide them accommodation if they're

staying here we will I will drive them personally or have somebody drive them around I will spend I will serve them if I can I just try to speak to them voice my concerns I will try to show look I we've got a problem here like what do you think and I'm doing this and I am trying to do but I don't believe like if I get on to let's say the Daily Mail or I don't know that the Telegraph or something and I just bash Muslims non-stop then naturally Muslims are gonna hate me this is the fundamental difference it's not about what is being said it's sometimes how

it's being said and don't get me wrong I'm guilty of this too I do sometimes because I get I get upset with what Muslims are sometimes doing like this issuing death warrants issuing you know like when we hear of oppression the oppressing women saying and I say and I had a rant last year and I stand by my rant of this imposing where they impose this forty eight mile rule on women they can't travel without i I do still call that for our context absurd and I do stand by that and I know that upset a lot of people so I do do this myself sometimes but generally I'm not about that

okay and I don't believe people should be about that about just Muslims that we're just ranting ranting ranting she she knowledgeable points and and stand by them that's what I'm saying so I do disagree with Majid Nawaz on these things and also the fact that so that so I hope that answers the question okay

right so let's where have we got to cut right right what's your opinion on what's your opinion on vaping I don't believe personally cigarettes to be Haram okay so I believe cigarettes to be mackerel and it's courage disliked I would personally advise all people who smoke to quit smoking I do not smoke I do believe that health is the greatest the greatest blessing that we have one of the biggest blessings we have preserve it I do believe it's a

multi-billion pound industry which is just really just latching leeching onto your your dependency and they're just extorting money from you that money is better spent on you on your children buy them gifts buy them something every day instead of buying cigarettes if you can but I don't having said that I don't believe it's Haram I'm not going to lie some people say you should just say it's Haram some people but I'm not going I don't believe I have that authority to lie on behalf of Allah because I don't believe that Allah would punish somebody

for doing this I believe it's something that is just discouraged and disliked based on health reasons so vaping is is in my understanding less so because I'm once again I'm not an expert but I feel that it's like somebody here is quoting a statistic or Omar al Halleck quoting that it's 95 percent more healthy than cigarettes so great that's awesome that's awesome okay how would you answer that and only movement especially as they based most of their rejection of hadith based on logic Yassine that is an

excellent question I've answered this before in one of the previous sessions and I say this again I believe that Imam Malik his methodology is a godsend for our age and our context Imam Malik was the dawn of hadith and Sunnah he was the master legend amirul mumineen in hadith he taught us in his water that they are several hadith that will be sahi and we will not accept them because they clash they do not make sense to us they clash

with the overall message of Islam they clash and Islam and faith is built upon reason that it should not clash with reason he taught us them now we practice that at the same time he said that what is Sunnah will not clash and he made this distinction between hadith and Sunna and a huge part of this Deen is embodied within the Sunna so by this we got we fall on neither extremes we don't fall on this let's reject a huge portion of the Deen because we don't we're going to dish

reject all Sunnah and Allah says wama adraka more rasulu Tahu do Fahed wama otaku Morrison Lockett Cannella comfy Rasul Allah he was rotten husana what The Messenger of Allah gave you take it enlightening and in The Messenger of Allah do you have a perfect example right so the thing is but in the messenger meaning his Sunnah when Imam Malik was asked about certain hadith he said when asked about certain practices he said um even the I then he said Amazon o yo memoir Leyla he said the

add-on of a day and a night that the messenger may have condoned and conducted he says I'm not denying that may have happened this may be like that is it a hadith I'm not denying it in my Malik saying but he says this was the practice the children unmask like in huge quantities inherited from their fathers who inherited from the Companions who inherited directly from the messenger he says you have here lived in Medina a living practice so this is what this is how I would answer

that that question that and likewise you don't fall on the other extreme of you whereby you declare every hadith a Sunnah and then you are trapped in certain things which I believe are clear mistakes or fabrications things like saying to kill the lizard kill the gecko is a you get if you strike him and this is a hadith in its inside Muslim and I believe it's in Buhari as well that if you strike him the gecko the lizard with the first strike you will get a hundred rewards and if you kill the gecko with two strikes you get fifty rewards and

then if you kill him with the third then there's a certain amount of reward this is nonsensical there's no way that the messenger or loss of Adam would have said that and why because oh it mentions because the Gecko refused oh sorry was blowing into the fire of Ibrahim Addison to make the fire greater I mean come on geckos do not reason okay they're not they just creatures they're not like and the Prophet said in a hadith that in every creature in every living creature there will be judgment in how you treated it that is a honey and there will be a

reward in you taking care of it in every creature and that is Asahi hadith so why this clashes with the overall message of Islam so you fall on this extreme way you attribute everything to the Prophet and inadvertently drive certain people away from Islam this is why I do feel that the that Imam Malik who the messenger of allah believed said about that when a time will come when people would see chance see knowledge and they will not find anybody more knowledgeable I mean I'll Emil Medina than the scholar of Medina who I believe was Imam Malik

okay guys I'm going to try to do some rapid responses now just to get in some of these questions Salaam Muhammad the eylem saying where can I find a banana thieves book about the permissibility of Mali's Allahu Alem try Google I didn't realise to be honest with you that he had a book on the permissibility but okay Farhan is it possible to develop a new school of modern Fick on par with the fool we already have for Han I believe that would be to reinvent the wheel is nonsensical in my understanding but what I do believe is that the that thick

needs to be updated we need a map we need a huge update one of those that you have to leave the Wi-Fi on and you gotta have a strong connection it's gotta be broadband and it's gonna take all night to update threats of its it's a few gigabytes of an update because our huge volumes of offic is out of sync massively out of sync I can take you and I would I do hope to do this one day take you quickly through chapters of our fit law to show you how it's so out of sync all right because it

seriously does not it needs a massive update and I agree that it needs a massive update but I don't think we need to invent a fifth method you can just do that with the madad we already have a new saw we already have now how or thank take all your biceps ah right look it look at that people right well I hope hopefully they're authentic enough what is you are you be a Yubel Malachy what is your opinion on perennialism right that's a very lengthy question we're gonna have to leave that one till next time what is the purpose of the duck of dog tags the ones that are already evil

smile Shamas hunting smile your share that one's going out for you Thomas right so Labib saying your view on the salvific exclusivity please I did answer a bit of that already in the previous question where I answered Robin about what who are the co far in terms from a lost perspective you can listen to that Solomon saying I have one question about the feet in Saha right about foot to 4 feet 2 feet what is the opinion about this in the Maliki method in the Maliki method you just stand naturally you do not need to join feet

to feet that is not a generally within the Malcolm method I know the seller fees are huge on it there's no harm if you do it if you do do it in essence you meant to join the heel I know people ladies end up playing all kind of footsie during slaw but I think generally that's the it's not within the main methods anyway not within the Maliki and the Hanafi school generally ok let's move on I have some questions regarding palak what Maliki fix says about the LOC three times in one sitting would it be considered three thalaaq so just one Junaid generally four schools of law do accept

that three Polacks within one context or three however all four schools have a minority position within them some have more of a voice than others about the three any talaq in one context is always one I would say that is a minority position but it is still valid I would say as Ignacio the great Grand Mufti of Tunisia and Cheryl Islam of the Maliki said that if the muscle had demands if the welfare demands you can exercise that ruling because today people they're ignorant if he arches are fit and they don't truly understand the concept of

the lock okay people this is Layla yeah right well assalamualaikum okay that's she's not too much of a nice to be Fae that's the other one okay tico right so caches don't care bro mind focused in Salah I'm not sure what that question is let's move on xigbar to all the individuals commenting right okay that's just a calm get over the jealousy man Z right I totally with you totally with you huh you have to ask sometimes why

people have so much hatred is it just because of insecurities right is it J is to celebrate a new year this comes down to custom and convention it's not a matter of faith and it falls under the same ruling as less so of Christmas okay so you can read my article tinsel in a tangle which is on Facebook as a note you can do that the end the Halloween or Halloween and in Sean lights the same kind of thing and to a lesser degree right does reason change with time I I

believe so there are ethics change with time so I believe we gain our ethics from day from our age okay and NASA Ashbaugh who be sirmione him min whom be ABBA him as the Arabic proverb states that people are more similar by their age than they are by their lineage so I would say that Islam comes for each age and it should reflect the age and therefore the reason of the age and the ethics of the age is one right hands Ahmed may you make a detailed prayer tutorial video Hamza

well you'll be glad to know we've already done that and it will be released as soon as it's edited that how to pray Salah and overview in accordance with the school of Medina okay so inshallah that's coming out just look out for that people that's to help because I did have a lot of people asking about how to pray Salah in accordance with the school of Medina the Maliki method what why is it they say when you don't wear hijab you're not a good Muslim so basically she's cursed okay that is nonsense a person not wearing hijab can be an amazing human

being somebody wearing hijab can be a monstrous human being the hijab does not make you who you are your character makes you who you are I've you know I'm we all know many people who do not wear hijab and they are amazing human beings much better than maybe many people you do know who do wager and there are many people who do a jab who are also amazing people so if the hijab is definitely not what makes somebody good or bad okay why is it this right all right so I have a very important question we get to know

our parents right in Islam but what our children's rights and especially a daughter's right in Islam someone everybody's rights you have your fundamental human rights I'm not sure what angle this question is coming from but you have every right that you can imagine as a human being and as a daughter that you are taking care of that they that your parents you know they help nourish raise you in the best possible way that they help you with an education that they allow you your independent freedoms but you have to understand a culture unfortunately medals a lot with these issues and it is

coated with the name of Islam but it's not necessarily Islamic and I'd like to add here because I've been asked this question and and somebody really wanted answered when it comes to do with marriage and it may tie in with this question that you have here and that is parents never have the right to force their child to to get married to somebody that they do not want to get married to and although we all accept this as a force in terms of you know a gun or a steak or a headlock right they

accept that but also emotional force to blackmail you they have no right to do that okay that is so pressure whether you're going to call that force but it is pressure so to say well you know and to say well because I pray I must be you are obligated you are obliged to obey me that is not true the child doesn't not need to obey they have no obligation sure on to obey the father in in in getting married if the father says you

know you must obey me and marry this place and if they do not want to marry that person you are not disobeying Allah in that because this is exclusively your right okay so please parents never fall victim to that you are only going to ruin lives I've you know I've spoken to literally I would say thousands of people over so many years who have been unfortunately in a doomed relationship where they've had to whether they've hacked it or not but if they've suffered because of these kind of pressures that

were applied to them okay oh it's the link to the one that I am afraid of Lara Salam alaikum Buddha happy Monday co-wallow assalamualaikum she's acting innocent she's not innocent okay job job job job seeker so anyway I hope that answers that question sob was Jesus crucified I have answered this in considerable detail previously

check my previous session right is there any difference of opinion regarding enzymes found in custom such as rennet or pepsin yes Mohammed there is this would take the same discussion do you mean in terms of do you mean by that in terms of the transformation if it's in terms of transformation then they make the same discussion as gelatine if you mean in its pure form then they have been certain Sahaba radi allahu anhum who did consider the consumption of rennet and

so on and non-muslim cheese to never be an issue and I believe that their practice demonstrates to us that that's fine and we do not need to become OCD about certain things in Islam that we call naturally that my understanding and people may disagree with that moisture from animals is considered all permissible from any living creature all moisture is considered halal in Jin halal isn't the right word but PHA hit pure is the better word so a sliver from a dog sweat or tears even from a pig is not considered impure I went to the school of Medina because life

necessitates purity right now right dogs permissible to have yes you can own dogs and I've answered that previously right people I think we're getting close to right it's 11 o'clock any final is it permissible for women to wear nail polish that she can make wudu after it Leila I've answered this before I do have a video on it as well a brief video I do believe it's absolutely permissible you can do will do above nail polish that's my understanding that has been they have been certain orlimar that have backed that understanding I have based

that on the understanding of Imam Malik in the ring you did not need to remove it even if what was under it remained dry and even though the ring was much more easier to remove the nail polish and I did present that am i understanding to share and dato as well and I spoke to him and he agreed that that would also be permissible right so I hope that's been of some help people right keeping the beard forth I don't I have a video on that I believe the beard is Sunnah and the beard really is just what is on the chain and is anything that can conventionally be cool to be it right so if this is will be called a beard a full beard a long beard whatever

I don't believe that the Sunnah anyhow there is not a single hadith that defines the length from the Prophet the length of the beard okay so the hadith that they have is from abnormal it's descriptive I don't believe it's legislative prescriptive it's descriptive at best I hope that answers some of your questions people I'm sorry I couldn't get through all of your questions it's been so much coming through I have to say there's been so much love coming through on this session people stay bless you really put a you've really touched me with that so I do appreciate that you know Baraka la vie comme à la always keep you smiling and full of

laughter right till next week take care of yourselves from a menial to us well salam o aleikum wa rahmatullah to Allah or Barakat Oh
