Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth | Session 28

all right so right let's see if this is uh

let's get this show on the road so

right right people folks somebody just saying Ian saying following on from last week I've got no idea what can't even remember what happened last week Imam Hassan

sh um right the Viking sh That's it man the shawl is here right so let's see we should have the questions sent across um if um all right so I've got some already on time are we whenever it's time it's time I have no idea about human the human concept of

time it seems to be Beyond me I think that's the way Allah just wired me so Mustafa Al wasan right so right so let's begin with this question that uh Pon had asked and that was a question on the segregated mid that we have um the female only Masid that's what what what Pon here is asking um right

so anyway the thing is well the question is that in America there seem to be a few of these uh a few of these masjids which have now are just for women and I think in the UK as well they've either built it already or they're in the process of building it what are my thoughts on this right so right all right look I see some interesting questions coming in all right let's get into this I'm talking about so first of all the segregated mid well sorry women's exclus exclusive

female mosque like they have been for centuries in China now what do I think about this in in this part of the world so being the UK the West predominantly so right Alum Salam folks the thing is I'm not really too keen on um in my understanding of women only masques why I say that is because it reinforces the idea of segregation I believe that the mids

should be how the prophet had set them and that is that they should be a shared space between both genders I you see having a woman's only mosque is is still I know it's a reaction to people not allowing women into their masjids but you see what it's only doing is reinforcing the idea that masjids should still be men only or women only and I don't like that idea I don't believe it's Haram that said I don't believe that you know women can't

open exclusive women masks they can do but I don't like the idea of it because to me it's just the female version of what the men are doing so now the women are doing it and saying okay now no man can come in our M Masid and I feel that this whole thing is just off like we you see it's different in you see my ruling for it would be different for different parts of the world so let's say a country like Pakistan Afghanistan

uh these countries it's pretty much hopeless that they will change their outlook on Islam any point anytime soon that's not going to happen Okay I mean it's wishful thinking I wish they would but they're not going to okay because it's it's too ingrained in in the whole populace so it's not going to change now women are not going to just generally startend pending masks and it's going to become a so for that part of the world I don't see a problem that part of the world to have a

women's exclusive mask maybe something awesome maybe something great and helpful in this part of the world we shouldn't be start we are just starting we are only getting started so we shouldn't be starting or beginning with such aberant views and such we don't need to perpetuate to kind of keep these ideas these kind of weird bizarre uh which are just backwards ideas we do not need to propagate them in the name of Islam when the prophet himself is the best of examples for us

and the prophet himself taught us by example that in his Masjid it is a shared space between the genders so we don't need to start off something an Islamic Trend here by violating the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam so I think that no I I'm not d i i don't agree with women only masjids okay because I think it's just the same thing okay and and that's not what we need in the west anyway so in countries in the East okay in the Far East like Southeast like Pakistan

Afghanistan where basically where women are are tottally traumatized I'm not laughing at them being traumatized but I'm laughing at that description so it's where they in that part of the world sure I mean that's you know it's a great idea for them to kind of meet in the name of Islam and stuff like that this part of the world it is absurd in my understanding to reinforce that segregation but people can do as they please but that's my understanding right so next question people

right why not in the west no I'm saying not in the West in the west they ought to have shared space okay right so the thing anyway now let's get on [Music] to uh can you look at this Hamza Ahmed getting straight in there with the question no girls allowed in our clubhouse girls well no boys allowed in ours grow up um did mulam himself Sayes a prophet followers attributed it to him right Hamza I you know

gulam uh I mean the thing is mulam Ahmed kadani I'm not an expert on him but my understanding of him is that he did claim claim to to be uh the the prophet after the prophet Sall alaihi wasall Prophet Muhammad that's my understanding okay I think later on uh some of his followers have I mean I don't know if they've shied away entirely but I think they've subtly shied away from some of that and said maybe he was a Revival or

he was a kind of Mahi or a kind of muj or I think so some people from amongst his followers look at the angry faces [Music] whoa well you know what do I look bothered that's that's about as much bother I have from your angry [Laughter] faces I just love to [Laughter] provoke so keep it real that's it people Express that anger get

it out get it out come on ventilate breathe with me breathe people breathe so right so now uh so I mean my understanding is that uham I mean M ahmedani that he did claim those things okay so um I do utterly condemn his understanding I don't I'm you know it surprises me how people do out of Reason can follow him I mean I can understand people who are just born in that faith

of kism whatever so they kadani and they just happen to be kadani but I've had some people sometimes try to reason it with me like they they've actually seem like intelligent people that are reasoning and I'm surprised that they seem convinced as I'm over whelmingly shocked at how any Arabs can convert to kadani Faith but they seem to have that one just beats me that how this man in Punjab became uh the prophet after the prophet Muhammad s Al wasallam anyway so let's move on people some people still

very upset well you know what keep it going that's it that's it that's you know I think it's working by the way I think doing all those it's it's working right so what is my understanding about the prophet being n right Shah you see it depends what this means um for this could be a normal discussion where we are just using the figurative speech in saying that the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is a light as in you know we're

metaphorically talking as in he's a form of guidance a light of guidance in this sense there's no problem with that I mean the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam is is a n like like that unquestionably especially for Muslims I mean we believe for Humanity but for us unquestionably now so you know and hence when Allah says that that what we have sent to you that uh that we have sent you a and the Quran and so Jal and other people said that that was the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam unquestionably

unquestionably if we some people however there's happens to be an Indo pack debate that the prophet himself was actual um God I I'm really curious who seems so upset right somebody somebody seems so upset right okay you know what I should do is track down who it is and then block

him you know have you noticed the anguish that people go through when they're blocked it's it's amazing actually I didn't think it has so much of an impact but it does so right so right now right okay so right well don't worry oh no it doesn't bother me the hate doesn't bother me it's just the disruption the distraction that's all

so right so anyway getting back to the question the thing is um there's an indopak debate uh which is going on that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam himself was an embodiment of like he himself his body wasn't body like he didn't have you know like flesh uh he was light as in and like he was actual light he wasn't he didn't have like human cells and human organs or he did have human organs but they weren't made out of uh human tissue they

were made out of some kind of photons or lights or light or something I don't I don't I don't know right uh and because of that he never he had a shadow because light can't have a shadow and this is all absurd and ridiculous and it makes Islam sound silly okay um the thing is right so just one

moment just confirming right right now the thing is so this is absurd because it makes Islam appear uh very naive first of all how could the prophet be an example for us if he wasn't even human then that's just silly it's you know Allah

says that you have a good the best of examples in the messenger of Allah s alai wasallam now the question is I don't think it's too many people actually I think it's just one or two people making all these angry faces uh right so anyway the thing is that how could the messenger of Allah Sall alaihi wasallam be an example um for us if he wasn't even he to start off with so it it renders the whole message of Islam useless because

we can now just say look I don't need to I can't follow of course the prophet did it I can't do it because I'm I'm not made out of life I'm a human so that's obviously very silly and and um it's also just overall silly anyway because look we know the prophet was human the Quran is saying I am a Basher I am human like you humans have these properties so the prophet shared in that Humanity yes we we would say as Muslims that the messenger of Allah was the best of humanity that's

our belief as Muslims right now right that's our belief right so the thing oh well I see the angry faces have disappeared the power of blocking that's the got to do that sprinkle that block there you go cast you back into Oblivion where you belong right so the thing is now so so I think we need to grow out of these sentimental emotional Indo pack kind of debates on was the

prophet human duh cuz you're just rendering the whole message of Islam pathetic by trying to say that he wasn't human because of course he was human that just goes against the whole message of Islam right so okay I hope that answers that all right so what other questions let's move on people we've got a lot of questions today

so right now let's right now mhm mhm mhm mhm wellow lot of questions coming in right I want to address something actually um that is to do with uh I've seen some quite a bit of uh um chatter on social media to do with my block list is unlimited people I I I block people for a

joke doesn't bother me in the slightest in fact I do it with with great joy cast them into Oblivion anyway so the thing is so the thing is right now right there's been this whole chapter on social media about uh okay um now and this kind of ties in although I don't think the chatter has anything to

do with what I answered previously in my um right well I answered previously my Plymouth Q&A but uh to do with music and lyrics but there seems to be this thing recently where he did a a song in nashed uh or an Islamic song called um I've got I think I've got my five daily or something but on it was based on the old that kind of song uh I've got five on it or something like that I don't actually listen much

to I'm not actually personally in uh obsessed or anything with music so I don't I'm not too clued up on things like this and I don't listen to any Islamic Neds and stuff like that uh so I don't really know too much about stuff like that I mean I I apart from what's very popular now but the thing is I did see this clip it was on social media and khid is he's in a Masid in Birmingham and he's doing his Nashid and he says in the beginning that there were no musical instruments used in this uh and it was beatboxing so the um whatever

making the sounds and he is singing about the five daily praise five daily now the thing is people really went to town on him I mean they tore him apart I mean I wow I thought I'd encountered hate people really gunned for him I mean they were gunning for him all kinds of nonsense and people swearing um you know calling him a son

of uh this and you this head and that head and you know and all kinds of effing and blimbing and and amongst them some people kind of stoop to racism about look at this kala what he's doing and check this color out and check this out and that out and what why on Earth is he in a Masid and it's shocking really I I was actually very shocked I was reading it I was shocked that people actually it is in many ways beyond words and I hope inshallah he's doing well and it's not really getting to him I have met him

he's a great person um now the thing is look I just want to highlight that I don't see what the issue is the thing is that they've seen this video this video is around I mean five daily I'm sure if you go on Facebook or whatever you type it in you can see it so he's standing in the Masid and he's singing and he's kind of going doing all his he's kind of like just you know gestures and now people are flipping now I ask that really the reason for this reaction is simply because his what he's

doing is alien to the culture that they're originally from otherwise people do so many things in masjids they do nids all the time forget nids in m people do all these kind of and these groupers where I mean some group thickers are just but you get all kinds you get dancing going on I'm sure you've all seen the kind of chian VI going on in masjids where they kind of going around stamping around in a circle I'm sure you've seen it in parts of the Arab world where they're kind of jumping around jumping literally jumping up and

down and beating drums sometimes in the Masjid uh you've seen some of these videos about Pakistan where some of the shs are doing all the know hadin hadin is doing all the Street Fighter moves and and you've got uh um you know some of the people doing all this ah they're going through some kind of electronic uh what was it Blanka Blan they're going through a Blanka moment so the thing is you've got all of this going on in the masjids people yes they mocked that but why don't they come out so harsh and

swear at them they don't do it they don't swear at them you know why because one oh they're already accustomed to it it's part of their culture as in it's culturally already got its foot in in the door secondly they've got power there's too much of a following to they're powerful it's not they're not people people don't want to mock them because they fear the backlash so that's to start off with okay here you've got something where first of all this guy khid is a soft

target he's not somebody powerful in the sense of he's got a huge following or he's a PAB or he's a sh so it's it's easy secondly his rhythm is I suppose based in a rhythm that doesn't come from the Eastern culture so it's some kind of hipop uh Rhythm now the thing is well and people don't associate that with any Muslim culture so this really is culturalism okay and I mean it may be I don't I mean I don't personally feel

that it was necessarily racism although I think some people stooped to racism um so some people kind of drop to making remarks about his color which is utterly unacceptable and and and it just shows the Jah in those people okay the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said to somebody who you know he referred to the person about his color he said when he said to him that you know son of a black woman and the prophet said to him that you are a man

who still has new Jia ignorance that which has nothing to do with Islam so the thing is so some people but to be feir to be objective I don't I think he probably had like the vast majority of comments being really offensive towards him but I think out of all those offensive comments the outright majority were not to do with race or anything like that they were just attacking him very offensively obscene using obscene vulgar language swearing things like that at him directly um once again and the weird thing is people were doing

this in the name of Islam so oh oh you've insulted Islam you goddamn effing son of a and this is Islam it's so weird but but this is what was going on so I don't think personally the issue was racism with bar one or two individuals who were totally Jah to that extent that they were racist about it but I think most people if I can use the word culturalist it was culturalism that they were kind of dissing his thing because it didn't fit

into the Eastern cultures which they accommodate which they already accommodate to so and and people making such a big deal I I don't know why so okay so I just want to clarify that that he had done in my understanding nothing wrong wrong um look you can disagree with him I mean I I myself said I'm not personally into things like music so much I'm not into stuff like nasheeds and stuff I'm not saying they're wrong I'm just saying I'm not into that but uh hate incoming my point is that look you can disagree with somebody you can

think look I don't like the fact that he does music or he doesn't do music this is not some this is you know he's doing it it's not infringing upon your personal space if you don't like him don't listen to him don't go out there swearing you know just using filthy language making a mockery of Muslims out of your so-call love for Islam which is ridiculous this is not love for Islam that you know that if it was you know Allah says in the Quran that if you love Allah and his messenger

if you love Islam then follow the messenger this was not the way of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam secondly I wanted to add so that's something I just wanted to clarify secondly I wanted to add to that that bash is that you right so the thing is I just want to add to that that I'd spoken previously about music in my Plymouth Q&A where I was asked I was spoken about it in other Q&A as well but I was asked there that look music leads people to Haram because it speaks amplifies vices okay speaks of

vices like things like uh you know shootings killings uh sex drugs alcohol although I don't think I don't know if music nowadays speak so much about alcohol but more about drugs uh you know that kind of life style so therefore based on that you should say it's Haram So I responded by saying that look I that I don't have the authority to do that because Allah you know and I and I kind of cracked a joke where I said oh yeah you know I did think about doing that but then I remembered you know I

wasn't God so some people have asked some questions about this and I thought this is it's important to clarify that look first of somebody said oh but you've already passed a judgment that's ironic you already passed a judgment that it's okay ah were you not were you God then I thought well [Laughter] okay look the thing is I didn't pass a judgment okay you have to understand my principles of how I understand law is

Islamic law Islamic guidance and how I pass fatwas and rulings the thing is in my understanding and this is the understanding I follow and this is what many of the Maliki M School of Madina amongst other MHS as well said was the belief of Imam Malik and other people as well that by default everything is conclusively permissible Allah has ordained everything to be permissible he says in the Quran

he created everything in the Earth for you have it so we go and in the Hadith which was transmitted by in AB that and that which Allah was silent about it was Allah was not forgetful Allah has overseen these things they you can have them so by default not just hey I think conclusively what we call in the sh what im and other people write about conclusive

like it doesn't have no doubt in it not like AI which is normal in Muslim is not it does not carry that strength in Islam it carries like a strong strength but it's not conclusive okay you have something you have can be strong is something which still it's it still has some room for doubt even if it's 2% even if it's 3% out of 100 it has some room for doubt it has a small margin for error conclusive has no margin for error okay the way today you

believe that China exists for example you've never been there but that's a conclusive thing to you it's not oh I've got 1% doubt that China may not exist it doesn't work like that okay so um so this is conclusive and who has made this Halal Allah has made it Halal so when I say oh things are Halal I'm not making them Halal Allah has already made them Halal according to my understanding now you could say look I disagree with this principle you could say according to me everything is Haram until proven

otherwise that's your principle I think life would become unbearable because to move this cup all of a sudden you'd need a the you need evidence to sit down like this I'd need evidence to use Facebook I'd need evidence to use Facebook at a particular time I'd need evidence to do because everything is all of a sudden forbidden unless proven otherwise now I don't follow that people mu uh now resident in the US Making Waves over the so we did study together in Karachi right so just a little shout out there the thing is look so my point is this is what I follow you

can follow different principles you can say I believe everything is Haram if I'm going to change a gear in the car it's Haram unless I've got a Del to prove it fine that's your belief it's your faith it's what you want to do it's not what I believe okay I believe that's absurd ridiculous but it's hey it's your life you don't have to answer to me so when you believe everything is permissible by default you need strong evidence to overturn it because on one hand you've got something conclusive so as the principle says

in when you have certainty it can only be removed by certainty now you'll start to understand why I consider a lot of things permissible because Allah has already made them permissible why don't I say they're Haram because I don't find the evidence to be at a level of certainty to remove that certainty this is my understanding of the Dean this is as transmitted by people like AB faraji from the great badi malakis mandad and other people who transmit this through Imam Malik and the school of Medina and other mhbs as well adopt this so look you can disagree with

me but that's my understanding okay so just to clarify that secondly I want I thirdly I want to tackle the issue of this lyrics okay now somebody did say I was just looking if I had one of my texts here got the the devil herself enter she's going back it's all right people that's my little one right so the thing is

now look at these people they not I got to quickly wellam alaykum love you my okay Dad know's nothing to watch sh okay if I didn't do

that okay so right now the thing is look so about lyrics so people said is this true that uh lyrics obscene lyrics have also been transmitted within Islam and the truth is uh shukran shukran people about the little ones the Devils trust me if I was ever going to be convinced about possession it would be through them and especially the young one I wouldn't just believe it was any Jin I would believe it was the Devil

Himself right so the thing is now coming back to this you see Muslim poetry has been it is I mean it's it is so God I mean where do I stop people it's got great stuff but it has it is full of themes about things like violence um about things like uh alcohol about things like sex about things like women about Warfare about tribalism it

is full of this beginning from pre-islamic era right through to the you know those people who were in J and attained Islam uh whether it was after the prophet right through to the sh The Poets of the uh right and right through to the Abid right so the point is the sh of Islam they have transmitted so much poetry that is really no different from these kind of rap lyrics I mean it's I mean it's different but it's not it's very similar

in essence so in their poems they begin by speaking about you know Warfare hey we battle this tribe we butchered them they fought us we've killed them ah they couldn't stand a chance you should have seen our swords chopping them up you should have seen this as I cut through the crowds I mean how different is that to saying hey let we shot the people we Gunn them down and we shot how different is that it's not very different they speak endlessly about alcohol Muslim poetry is it's so rampant about alcohol PE poets like look like from the Abid period like noas for

example who is in his era the Undisputed amongst the king of poetry in his time he is like at the top of Arabic poetry in his era okay so when you're talking about Abu Naas he is Undisputed in Arabic poetry what is almost 70% of his poem or 60 to 70% of his poetry is about what alcohol okay and this is going to be another shock so brace yourselves people brace brace what is the other like 20 maybe 20% 20 30 20% maybe 20 30% if

you're depending on 60 to 70 what is another second largest chunk it's all about homosexuality okay and what's his final uh that is true it's all about homos Abu noas his poetry is rampant about homosexuality nonstop and and what's the last bit okay about women so his poetry was nonstop about and it's just about mainly about those things and then he's got some maybe some random poems in the his poetry is studied he is rated one of the top and best poets that the early Muslims ever produced by the

way so Abu noas that's how rated he is right so just to kind of clarify uh let's look at other people like you're going to say look at diwan hamasa okay diwan Hamas by Abu Tam who kind of uh you know he once again somebody who compiles poetry uh from Jah times right up until you know his time he's collecting poems uh what he thinks are some of the best and they include poems about I mean they they'll have good poems in there but poems about bravery poems about Warfare

poems about Killing poems about rape he has one of his poems in there is very uh in fact when you see some of the early pre-islamic uh Arabs had this concept that that if a woman was kind of taken by like as in if if she conceived through force that the child would be born uh extremely Brave so like if if the if if if during conception she was raped and raped it doesn't have to be in the it was rape but it doesn't have to be like

they'd kidnapped her and taken her away it she could be somebody that that he know so for example it could be her boyfriend her husband or whoever it is but if he takes her by force that if she conceives that will be a a brave kind of Ruthless child that's a boy that's what the Arabs believed yeah in a lot of the Arabs pre-islamic this is pre-islam so he's transmitting that poem about the person look at him is such a DA he's so brave and he was born when he was you know when he was conceived his mother was taken by force she was raped and this and and he's saying it out of Pride

that you know she was this is how it was done and and this PO Dan hamasa is taught in most madrasas I mean we studied it in our madrasa for God's sake in Pakistan so these poems which I'm telling you are not the every single major Institute that within the Islamic world today teaches these poems the of the taught in most major institutes IM what is he talking about look oh when I went here is kind of like most of them are just his you know his

his sex sex sex capades or whatever he's kind of escapades on sex and he's talking about oh look I went here I got away from this tribe and and he and I got to this woman and I got there and I got this and and he says in his uh what's that line he has this line where he says and I got away from people like nobody I made sure nobody could see me and and and he says so I the he says and how many pregnant

women like you and nursing mothers have I come to at night and he says how many of them have I come to like he I can't even count how many kind of women I've I've been into that I mean I've had to go to that were pregnant already not his own women he's talking about other people's women and he says and I distract them from their child because and the thing is this this is transmitted in every it's taught in every madrasa it's taught in every reliable madrasa that carries any weight if you want to study the Arabic language and master you will study these things

so the point is how is this not obscene and people say oh but that's okay because you know here you're just learning it from Mastery of the Arabic language well if that's the point why couldn't they omit that line they could omit that line and transmit the rest but they don't they transmit it as it is and they didn't have a problem with this you know so my question is today this it's it's a kind of form of double standards look I get it look I get the fact that you don't like something I get that like so for example if people have

got children they don't want their children to be listening to kind of like all about gunslinging drugs you know sex rock and roll whatever this kind of stuff they don't want to be their children to be listening to that and that's good that's fine there's nothing wrong with that but you don't have to religionization [Laughter]

the thing is you don't need to do that just look your children your rules you know people don't want their children to do certain things that's fine you know like if your child didn't go to university or didn't go to didn't do something let's say he he wasn't working he wasn't doing I don't know like whatever it is you could get upset let's say your child is you don't need to find a religious reason to get upset just just deal with it so that's my my point okay so Islamic the reason I was saying that is that and somebody said that

um that somebody had made a comment about the you see the Poetry that was read was kind of red like poetry and it wasn't done in this kind of this kind of I don't know this kind of like rapping or hip hop or that kind of mode but the question is what's the difference in essence what is the difference the content is the same okay the content is not very and I'm not saying the content has to be something we like it's not I mean I don't necessarily I'm not saying I like that or I would want you know like to teach that to my children or I would want them to be I'm

not I wouldn't probably I wouldn't want that as as a parent but the point is I don't have to lie to do that I could just say look I don't like it I want you to have a certain at least in front of me I would want my children to have a certain standard but that doesn't mean I become like I start lying or fabricating things on behalf of Allah or I or either that I act like oh the children will never know these things I don't need to act naive either that they will know these things they live in this world so they will know these things okay right another question here which I want to highlight and it's kind of linked to

this I mean remotely and that is that the this you see we as Muslims need to stop [Music] religionization rolling especially of women they control women so they control

how they dress how they look what they can do who are they talking to they control all these things and they need to like not just advise but control like oh go got her in a headlock right so people they need to control now so then the question is you see it's not enough just to control they need to say that oh well actually this is a good thing according to Islam so what they do is they find this Hadith that the prophet said the

youth so they say ah the youth here doesn't I'm not saying the English word the youth like the youth youth them I'm saying the youth okay which comes from the Arabic verb okay so the thing is so the thing is now uh di or a person who has di is the youth now what does the youth mean so the Hadith says that the youth will not enter Paradise so they so one definition of the youth is like somebody who doesn't have he doesn't

have is like this kind of jealousy over his female folks so he doesn't have jealousy over them like H I get jealous I'm a real man you know like and this is what the prophet told us to do so this they use this Hadith of the youth this is wrong okay this is inaccurate that's not what the prophet sallallahu Al was talking about this is a usage of the youth but a misusage of the term the youth okay that's not what the prophet meant when he spoke about the youth because another one if you

keep reading the definitions and it ties into the first definition it will say that Al you know that somebody who who literally pimps out his family he kind of prostitutes them out because when a person has no shame over his family what that meant was that he would exploit them for being females and kind of prostitute them out to people that is what the prophet was talking about that is what this Hadith is talking about right so the point is

it's not the English word youth the youth okay so it's it's spelled and okay now the point is that this is what the prophet is talking about how do we know this how do we know this because first of all you being like an insecurity is not something that the religion by its nature would encourage secondly by just saying ha I'm very jealous of my family ha you will now go to paradise and by somebody saying oh I I'm not too jealous or control freak over my family oh you'll definitely go to hell that sounds

ridiculous and absurd okay another evidence let's go to clear evidence now there is a clear Hadith okay which uh which you can find is very clear it's used in a lot of the FI books now this Hadith is a companion comes to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and he he complains about his wife and he says that she not only gets a lot of attention from people from guys but not only do they hit on her but they are basically any opportunity they get with her she's game so that's that's actually what he

says so he says to the prophet that if any guy this is the word in thei any guy who wants to touch her she will not stop him from touching her that's the wording of the Hadith so the prophet says that divorce her and he says he says but I love her so the prophet says then in that case hold on and be patient and advise her that's what you know like that's it like meaning he doesn't say to him oh my God

how could you be with a person like that uh you're at the youth God damn it you're not going to Jenna or why didn't you go and kick her head in or why didn't you beat the hell out of her he didn't say any of that or why didn't you restrict her movements why don't you tie her up with a chain so none of this was said the prophet just said look obviously it's not working why didn't you divorce her he said I love her and the prophet said well in that case he said f then be patient because look you got like it's your choice you don't have to be with her you want to be with her

well you know she seems to be weird but that's her my point is that this was the prophet advising them so why didn't he say if that's what the youth meant so why didn't the prophet say oh my God no real man can ever tolerate that why haven't you cracked her skull in and cracked the guy skull in but the prophet never said that right so the point is no so this this is the what somebody saying what marry a second wife KN for an ey right look the thing is it's not the what I'm trying to get at here is that that

meaning of the youth cannot be the the meaning that people exploit so people today what they do they use it to justify their insecurities about women and they say oh of course I'm jealous because Islam teaches us to be jealous and that's wrong okay that's not what Islam is teaching they are just religionization hijab is an

obligation somebody asked what is hijab hijab is covering up with modesty there's no uniform there's no color there's no it's just and it varies from country to Country and so however you dress you know if you're in a different part of the world you might wear abayas in a certain part of the world they don't wear bias they might wear sharam in a certain part of the world they might wear sis in in a certain part of the world they might wear skirts in a certain part of the world they might wear trousers uh whatever they wear right it's but the thing is there's modesty and they cover up and the general understanding of the hijab they

do cover the hair and stuff like this now I was asked a question that to what right to what extent can this be enforced on them and this cannot be enforced on them at all right you now you have to understand this this cannot be enforced on them at all okay there is no enforcement right there is no enforcement so they are responsible for

themselves as the prophet said you can advise you can encourage you can discourage you can persuade you can incentivize you can motivate you cannot enforce you cannot impose restrictions forcing force people to do things you all of this stuff is not what Islam has taught us I know today people think it's Islam but that's just them like I said turning things into religion that's not what the religion actually says so you cannot enforce these things on people

you cannot like hey she never wore hijab so you know if you if you're thinking of stepping outside that door there's only two ways you're going to go I mean either you never going to step outside the door or is right oh somebody saying Imam is IM all right is he on if you're on here right now that is a legend people so all of you if you're not already and I'm sure you already are right uh following the dawn of the states IM web if you're not get on to it people right

he does a Wednesday Q&A as well so inshallah catch that for honoring us right the thing is now you cannot enforce any kind of hijab on anybody okay it does not matter whether that person is your spouse your your wife whether she is your daughter whether she is your mother your sister your I don't know whoever your employee your uh I mean you look people can come up with rules but you can't force okay and if they are if somebody

is trying to force something that's their own rule it's not Islam okay and that's not what makes somebody at the youth okay it's not hey oh my God my wife hasn't got a hair cover I must be at the youth right stop freaking yourself out with these kind of beliefs right I'm not sure what that was I just got a a post saying my video's been uploaded I don't know what video that is right so the thing is look you that is not at the youth that the youth

as the definitions mention is Al as they say in or somebody who is exploiting sexually his women folk as in uh for prostitution and things like this that is the definition the true definition of the youth somebody who has no shame regarding his women folk that to that extent that look yes if he was to exploit anybody you know that would be out of order but you would think oh my God he would you know no matter how much of Tyrant he was he would at least have compassion for his own women folk

but he doesn't even have that it's saying it to that extent that look at this person oh my God that's what the Hadith is speaking about okay so just to clarify right people now whoa let's get on with some of these questions there been so many right there was a question about the is okay was the is a few times and I've keep you know I've often said oh that's a good question I'd like to answer it and every time uh I'm just I get distracted right okay the question is

was the is the the night journey of the Prophet sallallahu Alam was this something that actually happened uh in body or was it by as in was it something uh by Soul a vision as in the prophet was shown this Vision um now what I want us to understand here is that let's when we refer to the classical texts we learn that there is a difference of opinion okay there is a difference of opinion right from the time of the salaf okay so anybody so sometimes we have people today trying to paint a very um a black

and white picture they say that you know oh this is what you know this is it and anybody who believes different to this is a deviant that's not true I've already highlighted previously that look there's a difference between Creed and Faith IM and AA IM is what Allah has told you to have uh is something that Muslims have come up with partially to help Muslims and then throughout the ages there's been an element of institutionalization and control and stuff like that as well whether that was intentional is debatable or whether that was a byproduct of the whole thing but the point is that

look in this when he's discussing this he says he says right so he says that uh three different sorry the three different groups just to highlight here is the plural of okay and it means groups in Arabic okay I know in in uru means a prostitute that's not that's not what I'm talking about that's not what is talking about okay so when he

says to three different groups this is what it means okay it's the plural of the word now the thing is uh so he says so the first group he says believe that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam did not travel to uh with physically it was not a physical Journey so he did not go to Jerusalem or to the heavens with his body it was not a physical thing andad says from amongst this group is uh he says this was the sah the companions of the Prophet

amongst them was the wife of the messenger of Allah s Ali wasallam mother of the Believers this was her understanding aa's understanding that the prophet it was a vision that he had this was also the understanding of of the great it was his understanding as well it was also the understanding ofik so some great s here who had this understanding okay that it was not a physical Journey that it was a vision and they said says but they say because there's there's no issue because that

the Rya or that the vision which the the that the prophet see is H okay it is like reality that's why and they said that this is what Allah was referring to in the Quran when Allah says um what is it that this that this R which we showed you this Vision that it was a that it was a trial for people so

this they said was referring to the is so that's the first group of Muslims okay of the great of this the second uh yes exactly and that verse is inah is so that's that the second group uh believed that it was that there was uh the second group believed that the is that the journey to Jerusalem was physical and although the journey to the heavens the was a

vision so mentions that to be a separate group and then the other group the final Group which constitutes the majority of people was that they were physical kind of uh both were physical Journeys and he mentions from this group of people like AB people like and other sahab and other people along the ages seem to have taken a lot of people have gone with that group but all of these opinions belong to this umah and they are all part of okay you cannot sayik

or did not have a that's ridiculous it's absurd okay so if you whichever opinion you feel comfortable with is fine okay you do not have to believe those who took this opinion that it was a physical Journey they used the verse like Subhan in the first verse ofah is that they said Allah used the word and should refer to uh actual uh a slave as in the the body of the slave okay I mean the other people would have argued that yes it meant he took him but

in a vision he took him and these people said no he took him in a physical these were differences valid differences of opinion amongst the greatest of this um okay and this is showing and he says that the Sal of this um and he says look the majority of the people went with the fact that it was physical but these people didn't so if you do not feel that it was a physical Journey you do not need to believe it was a physical Journey right this was a value belief of and the prophet s Al wasallam people do say that look what was the how could it still be meaningful if it wasn't a physical Journey it could be meaningful because it was a vision that was

incredibly Vivid and so detailed that it was as though the prophet he was actually there like seeing everything and he could describe this and the purpose of this right the purpose of this was one to test people that look would this Vision but that verse that says it was to test people mentions it to be a vision a that the was a it was a FNA for people and also it was for the prophet to have these uh insights and Salah revealed and things like this okay so there's no harm in believing if you want to believe that

that's absolutely fine okay uh there is no compulsion in these M these were never things that the prophet uh said everybody must believe this or something like that he never said that and hence his companions disagreed right so let's get on with this people wow so many uh do MBS have official standard fatwas on most issues um the regulation of M or what I feel was the institutionalization of mahib did occur with some more than others so the Hani maab is quite strictly regulated okay

especially the latterday school so the latterday school is sometimes so strictly regulated that you can't disagree with one opinion even you know it's like um in he says that oh it's like it's not for anybody to leave the opinion of our um right somebody just sorry just following on somebody asked when is take place so it took place uh before the hij right now the thing is that's a good question because regarding that as

well people have highlighted that there was a difference of opinion some people believed that it happened on multiple occasions some people believe there were three um but the popular view is there was just one okay now coming back to this to this point so the hanfi maab is very strictly regulated they have something called a mu system and you're only allowed to rule by what the what what the fatwa has been given by and that in all honesty seems to have been locked off byid right who was from around 200 years

ago approximately 250 years and he seems to have just locked that off and he is declared like the and and he created a hierarchy which just gridlocked the whole system where he just basically said to to have an opinion you have to be a b and c and I'm not even a and C so I'm just D and therefore you know you're not even me and then blah blah blah and this is just all locked that's whoever chooses to follow that in my understanding you don't you're not obliged to follow that other hania did disagree with that people like shali people who in my understanding were much greater thanin uh and much before him people

like H people like other people within the Hani maab that disagreed with that okay so uh the shaab has some regulation is well regulated but H but tolerates diversity so this um that's what it is so it's kind of it's very well regulated like the Hani maab but it does tolerate more diversity than the Hani maab uh the malakis and the hes are the least regulated so they've just got so many different opinions uh they had different I mean the hes didn't really Thrive much

so they were just always a small very small minority so they didn't really uh take off so much but the malakis uh had so many different sub schools all operating or just respecting each other letting each other just kind of get on with it so what's happened is um people have tried to regulate it but they've struggled and then do you get people today that might may try to regulate it but it's so difficult in the Maliki because whose books do you go by who all of a sudden do you denounce because they haven't been doing that for centuries it's difficult to just do it now do you

understand so the Iraq had their way of doing things they used to give preference to different Transmissions the Egyptians the marara the East you know sorry the West African Northwest Africans the andalusi the Spanish Muslims they all had their own kind of way of doing things and because thrived for centuries and centuries and their Works were kind of all passed on and respected and tolerated it's difficult to suddenly remove them out of the picture so I would just say look listen this diversity is a strength of ours don't see as a weakness the weakness is your own inability to

tolerate it so you don't need to restrict the dean just expand your horizon instead okay and if you can't handle it then fine restrict yourself don't restrict other people right now um Salam can you give advice to a husband who is not no more attracted to his wife because she gained a lot of weight 30

kilog 30 kilograms God damn that's like it's a one and a half plate bench pressing so 30 kilograms is quite a bit of weight look [Laughter] people what can I advise apart from look join the gym people give up junk food start working out look you want to take care of your health uh the thing is that people do sometimes some people could have a kind of I don't know like they could have something genetically with them

that they can't help but gain weight uh but most people to be fair if they do watch their diet and exercise and things like that they can always maintain a healthy kind of balance that's what I would advise that is uh you know I mean if you want to look at examples throughout the prophet sallallah Ali's lifetime look the prophet you know they say when he passed away he had a flat stomach and and a certain and you know it's a certain amount of weight is healthy to have and and there's nothing wrong with that but there's you know and you and and sometimes people want a certain amount of healthy weight they

don't not all attracted to just bones but the thing is it's not and you see in the Hadith the prophet Sall alaih advising AA to have certain um kind of Rich diets like things like uh certain types of dates which the Hadith mentions helped her gain a healthy kind of weight um the point is it's not about look it's you shouldn't I know look there's two things here one is the ideal advice which is look you shouldn't judge people um you know and everybody's going through their own struggle and you should kind of allow them to kind of

adjust that's the ideal kind of unfortunately in the real world these things do cause Rifts they do cause problems people uh men I mean I'm not saying this to it doesn't justify that but I mean it's not necessary some men are attracted to all kinds of they have different you know kind of attractions and whatever but you will get this a lot and you know people say that you know they they can't help but be attracted to something uh that's just how they are so the other person should also kind of keep that in mind and and

just step on that step master burn those calories people and plus it's better for them you know being healthy is awesome so it boosts their confidence it kind of it keeps them you know and it keep it makes them very confident it makes them very and they will have a much healthier relationship and this may be shallow and I accept that it is shallow um but unfortunately it is also a reality this is the problem so you can say to people look we should challenge perceptions but the reality is that

because it's so tied into the in Instinct it's it's not going to really it's like when you tell people that look to stop eating sugar it's instinctual they won't stop they they might switch to sweeteners but very few people can just see beyond their instincts so very few people will just say okay I give up all sweet things it wouldn't really happen I mean it may happen but it's with most people it won't happen even though they can recognize at a rational level that that's not how you ought to be you know you shouldn't just be driven by sweetness you shouldn't be shallow with

just about taste but but in a similar way I'm just trying to give some you know it's not an analogy but I'm just trying to give you an example uh when you say attraction when people have sexual attraction right they naturally are attracted to certain they are attracted to Anatomy that is instinctual now you understand that people shouldn't be shallow and I do advise people not to be shallow to be compassionate to be understanding but in the real world it will bother people it's just the way the world is unfortunately so you know I mean you got to kind of

work with it people should take care of them it's a bit like saying you know if I mean let's say husband uh just went couldn't provide for his wife anymore or just wouldn't bother or just didn't or couldn't or just became just sat at home and did nothing uh you see because that's something that instinctually women are driven to which is security and that kind of it's almost an instinctual thing that they have they want that around them they want uh it doesn't mean that they themselves can't work they can work and they do work but the point is they

don't like somebody just being a a bum just sitting at home and if the guy starts doing that you know after a while the relationship's over because you don't see that person in that light anymore and so it it doesn't mean that they shouldn't be shallow obviously it shouldn't base things on money and on stuff like this but it's just the way the world is so we can either just give ideal advice all the time and just say look don't be shallow or you can say look listen people if you are in a situation where your relationship is messing up you need to stop just pause reflect on what it is that will make your relationship work

whatever it is and just do it and if it means you know for some people getting out there getting a job get out there get a job be productive if it means for some people you know being healthy then get out there get healthy there's nothing wrong with that I know that will annoy certain but look you know I don't understand what the thing is look this is scientific isn't it this is what science teaches us that we that human beings we have evolved okay now the point is we've evolved with certain instincts okay so you can't just all of a sudden expect people not to have those

instincts anymore I watched this thing uh on uh Facebook oh my go I was you know it was about a it was about a fish a a puffer Japanese puffer fish and it was shocking honestly it was amazing to see what this fish does to the fish is almost transparent and what it does to attract a mate uh it it creates this incredible pattern which is just mindblowing honestly it's it's it's one of the the best possible things that a

uh that one of the best designs that any creature makes to attract uh in fact it's seldom seen in nature and it's amazing and it takes almost a week to make this on the on the you know on the actual seabed underneath and it has to do this before and it has to keep working nonstop because the the torrent of the the kind of sea or whatever it is could would just ruin it and all this just to attract a mate I mean you think wow like how how has you know Allah this is how Allah has created you

know that Allah has created this within creatures and human beings are no different I mean we are just creatures as well you know as much as you know we yes we are amazing creatures but we are still creatures and we are still very much driven by the very same Instinct that the animal kingdom is driven by so you know if so that's it people look at that I've definitely offended some

feminists well people what can I say I'm just saying it as it is sorry if you you know don't hay hate the game not the player it's it's the thing I'm just saying I'm just saying it as it is hate science goddamn scientists ruining the world right so uh right so can you marry people up from the book uh why do you why do some people say no and can't she drink any I've answered this before and can she drink and eat pork in your house yes she can and Imam Malik has highlighted that

that if uh if that if you married a Christian this is why IM Malik didn't really like Muslims marrying Christians uh Christian women because he felt that they would drink alcohol around the children and eat pork and it may influence the children so what is the minimum amount of people needed for a jum to be valid that really according to Imam Malik there was no a set amount IM Malik just said whatever made a congregation uh the Sha says 12 because in the Hadith it mentioned that uh when the sahabah walked away from the prophet uh in

jum when they saw the Caravan coming it mentions 12 people remained okay so so they took that as a which really is is a weak uh interpretation so uh and and some people just say two or three like the Hani maab and to be honest with you I think the Hani maab makes a lot of sense on this masah that J should just you know it should be valid with whatever amount of people are present but that's my personal understanding okay somebody took a 10 a loan

um took a loan okay 10K let's say now he's able to pay back after 10 years could only 10K yeah I mean fan the general understanding is he only pays back the same amount okay this is the thing about interest and I've answered this previously in so much detail so I don't want to really go back the the the the interesting thing is interesting about interest is Abu yusf did have this understanding that if it was to do with uh Flo which the fils I know Flo today means money in Arabic but uh it comes from the traditional

word the plural of fils which was kind of like the pennies uh if you like it was uh it was like the copper and brass kind of things which equated because you had dins which were gold Dirhams which were silver and then you had uh lesser currency later on being developed by the Muslims which wasn't there in the time of the Prophet so much but came shortly after which they referred to as Pho fils and stuff like that which was like a copper currency and Copper Brass and this equaled so many of this equal uh a Durham which then equaled a dinar now he

had said that if you borrowed F loose right um you could pay back according to uh like because he said that the he gave a fatwa which said that you could pay back according to the value of the age or the time sorry that you were repaying in uh when you were dealing with Foo and stuff and and I know the hanafis today have kind of uh debunked his fatwa and they don't want to really they don't want to own it at all they don't like it at all actually they're very m

so but I think it's an incredible Insight that he had uh Abu Yusuf um who was the Supreme judge of the Muslims by the way Muslim world what are your views onik jamat have you ever went I have been on jamat uh my initial interest into practicing Islam uh I I won't say it was necessarily began with jamat but it was definitely influenced in the early days as in motivating by people on jamaat I did go on jamaat it was uh incredible uh for that stage that I was at okay is somebody still

angry about something God knows what they're still angry about look um I hope it's not about my comment on the cuz if it's to do with my comment on what I said about the the the relationship is it to do with that is it to do with that if it is well my advice is look don't you ain't going to lose weight by keep hitting angry that ain't enough

calories get on the goddamn treadmill so the thing [Laughter] is so the point anyway so I I look I think uh I think the Bley jamat can be awesome for a uh for a certain stage of where a person may be in their life so it's great to have a a kind of a getaway which is very kind of I don't I don't know maybe I can describe it with the word Angelic it's almost you know you're

in a Masid you just learn duas you just uh you know you just uh recite Salah to each other you practice your Salah uh right you do all these kind of things that that that's that's great it's a great environment they correct your Salah they correct how you do W they correct how you uh do how you do these things they test you they build you up they they encourage you to pray tud so I think it's amazing for a certain uh a certain stage beyond that stage it's difficult right because it's very restricting and it's controlling it

doesn't want you to be have critical thought for example it doesn't want you to learn so it's not uh all right so Dave Gandhi Dave Gandhi is angry [Laughter] wellb well if DB is angry with me d g I don't know all right I don't know what to right well that's uh anyway so I

think it's great but it can have its limitations an one aan on J or two aans I think either way it's no big deal really uh generally people do two aans it's not really a big deal uh right right Dave I know I know nothing but love inshallah don't worry [Music] about right so the thing is how is it possible we have many varing narrations of the prophet's prayer and the sahaba were together with him why does the

prophet's prayer differ because I think the prophet prayed differently at different times okay so that's why why and some people you know they got used to a particular way and that's how they carried on why is Imam noi The topmost Authority in the sh followed by IM ra instead of imaf it's true you have the in the in the Sha are IM and and that's because he kind of like revolutionized almost the Sha uh it's strange you're right I do understand that it is

strange um right does the Quran affirm alien life I'm not sure the Quran affirms or negates alien life Allah just says that he has many creatures uh he says that he has creatures which you don't know about he says uh you know he continues to increase in his creation as he Wills um so I mean it doesn't necessarily negate it doesn't necessarily affirm I think it's possible there's alien life out there um I mean I I would think that there is some kind of

Life out there I would think maybe I don't know it'd be really interesting here's a bizarre thought right what if Y and Ma were alien life NY NY but seriously I mean give that a thought what if Y and ma that were a sign of the the end of times were an alien life that would eventually make contact with Earth um wouldn't it be interesting because what is interesting is the Hadith description about how they will be destroyed is very similar to War of the

Worlds but I'm honest it actually mentions in the Hadith that how they'll be destroyed isn't through people killing them it mentions through these little worms that they will get which will which sounds very similar to War of the Worlds where the aliens eventually are just killed off through human bacteria that they can't and viruses which they're not accustomed to just kill them off uh but it's interesting that that is actually the description of and it mentions that they I'm just saying those people who take y ma to be literal that it's that it mentions that they will come from like that you know the sky that they will

have this that they will conquer the heavens it mentions that they will they will be abnormal that they could drink Rivers I mean human beings can't really drink Riv Rivers like as it deplete rivers that they will cre create chaos that they will be able to conquer the skies that they will be able to I mean it just mentions all these weird things about them what if they were some kind of alien life and uh just I'm just saying this food for thought don't you know hey you know you don't you don't need to run with it you can you can just tantalize aming thought

that's all so and what is interesting though what is interesting I tell you where and are mentioned in the Quran why is it every time that is mentioned with them Allah uses a specific phrase which he never never uses anywhere else in the Quran when he says that he pursues them he doesn't say you know or he followed or he did this this or he did this it mentions

always and then there was a specific cause that he pursued by which he arrives at this next station and then it's interesting that why why that language why that word why that phrase It's not a common phrase that is used it's not used anywhere else in the Quran for anything else it's in fact it's a very rare kind of usage what what why I'm just saying if if you want to follow this alien thought it's it's interesting it's interesting people I haven't lost the plot don't worry right so right so what else is the question if

a at woman uh if at work a woman extends her hand for a handshake is it permissible to shake her hand as a male uh people like sh Abdullah Bin B and other people have given this fatwa that it is permissible in a workplace and I and I would uh agree with she Abdullah Bin Baya uh who is an amazing legendary scholar of our age a um you know well trained in the Maliki mhab he is Maliki but he he he's kind of across the board trained um so I I would agree with him that given our circumstances work environments uh those kind of handshakes

do not constitute uh um generally speaking sexual contact and therefore they would be uh given the understanding they would be permissible that's what I would say now people may say well you know uh where's your pretext for stuff like this well I would say look when when you look historically you find other people making exceptions you know like things like uh so for example uh women in the past in the early times would work and the kind of work that they would do sometimes is selling so they would sell Bangles and stuff like this and they would wear these bangal so when they going I mean

they would I mean I suppose people would carry as well but sometimes they would wear them and when they're going they would kind of uh when they're selling them they would say like look I've got this for sale I've got this for sale um so you see a lot of the you see several Scholars like Abu YF it's even transmitted from Ab but you see people like Abu yusu and other people saying that this for the woman then isn't part of a the forearm was not part of and you see that transmitted in Hani book books as well like uh you know the and other books and you see even uh in his he transmits that

understanding that look some people said the of the woman was not the then she didn't have to cover it because why because they felt in their age there was a need so they accommodated for that need and and they felt it wasn't a sexualized kind of thing now you can disagree with it but I'm just saying it's it's based on ruling which Islam is based on so don't freak out with these kind of things that's all right

so is it permissible right come on let's uh permissible to marry a Shia girl are you talking about a mut marriage nuty nuty Abu khad NY NY the thing is look wait a minute is it the

abuad on my on my live feed right so the thing is look I've answered about mut before but I know this isn't about mut look normal Muslims I do believe believe that the marriage does work it's fine that you can marry a sh you can marry it's not that the marriage is invalid or anything but there would be obviously certain things that you might take into consideration um for example if you are marrying somebody you're hoping that you know that there may be a family and

things like this so certain things like abuse is not something treated lightly within Islam so um you know abusing the companions the wives of the Prophet if if she holds very strong views on stuff like this like she likes to abuse then this is going to cause a huge problem it will cause a problem because once you step out of your Cloud9 and lovey lovey lovey doy phase uh and later on as Things become mundane and normal and there will be a problem when you have children I mean if she teaches your children to abuse uh that will be obviously you will

have a problem I mean if she believes that's her religion but maybe she won't maybe you know there's a lot of Shia who do not believe in abusing uh the companions I mean it was the fatwa given by aah Sani I believe it was the fatwa given by uh um quite a few of the of the sh as well and and there's many sh who do not like they just you know they like they believe and there's many sh who Just sh by name just as much Sunni Muslims by name they don't really know much about Islam so it's no real big deal to to kind of make it a big deal I don't think just because you're born as

a Shia you have to yes I do have problems with abuse uh I don't tolerate it I don't believe it's acceptable I don't believe to religionization I'm not saying the thing will be invalid but I'm saying there will be problems so it's better to just clarify these you know it's like saying I'm a Muslim I'm just giving an example I know this is going to sound really bad but let's say I want to marry a Christian and so I

want to marry somebody from Britain first so the question is well okay so how strong are their views with Britain first because Britain first are like a fascist group who hate who are built on the the kind of premise of hating Muslims so yes many of them are Christians uh and yes Islam allows you to marry a Christian but if somebody so strongly is islamophobic then how is this going to work so if somebody is strongly uh uh they believe in abusing sacred

figures of Islamic history then how is this going to work but if if they don't then inshallah I mean it can work I mean most Muslims let's face it most normal Muslims don't really speak about religion right throughout their lives with each other they don't really some apart from just the rights of Passage right people H let's I think we got to uh call it a wrap how is how is important in the Maliki school um right this is this is interesting because right

right okay wait there feli I did not say that okay I don't don't not misquote me I did not say Shia are racist fascists I did not say that okay please do not spread the look where I condemn the Shia for the abuse quote me and I'm happy to put my name to it I'll make a video on it do not spread lies about me that I'm calling all Shia racist and fascists I'm not calling them racist and fascists I'm I'm just saying that people who believe that it's part of religion to abuse they them I don't tolerate other Shia I have no problem

with you know we are all Muslims most of them don't apart from just being born in a Shia family they don't really know anything about shiaism anyway so it doesn't really make a difference that's what I'm saying so chill right now this is really awesome um right the thing is what it is is it shows that the Mal this is not like by the way so some people they think that the is like a regionalized version of a

practice like the way was it isn't what these different that used to take place the what they are is the Mal believed that you can have weak and yes I said that weak positions they say you can have these which are weak opinions but for some for some welfare a ruler or a scholar in a particular region would give

uh okay so some scholar would give the fatwa according to them and ruled by them and they would become widespread in a particular region so let me give you an example so let's say Birmingham now but Birmingham is way too massive uh being the second largest city all right people in the UK Brum that's what it's all about but the thing is but let's say

uh right okay ALR somebody's saying can we speak right I don't want to digress but I will dis I will handle that issue inshallah maybe at another point of do we accept Hadith yes we do accept Hadith we accept Sunnah there's a difference I've highlighted this before but I don't want to digress right now so the thing is uh yep daa door set I see that Musa but let's say for example let's just say Birmingham right or a smaller town let's say as Musa our Maliki Viking from the UK has just kind of he's just chimed in there so let's say Dorset which is a

smaller place so in Dorset let's say there was a the most the scholars in Dorset happen to give an a ruling on talak let's say they said that oh um three talak or any talak given in one context can be revoked but that's actually a strong position I tell you what let's take a weak position let's take a weak totally weak position okay I'm going to go for a totally weak position so let's say people inors it there weren't that many Muslims but the Muslims that were Were Somehow had gone all trigger happy on

talak they' gone manic on talak right so they have they gone spasmodic they've gone on they've all got the talak Tourette Syndrome so they just say so everything is just right now so in doet right the scholars say how do we handle this talak TTS this talak Tourette Syndrome so they say the way we're going to handle it is we're going to rule by an opinion which says now there is an opinion

within F that says that all talak must be documented so for example for a talak to be valid it has to have two witnesses and you have to be signing it on a piece of paper now this is a fringe weakish kind of opinion generally speaking okay very Fringe very weird unheard I mean almost unheard of but it's there and governments employ it by the way so in the Muslim world this is how the governments adopt this opinion of talak

so let's say now um in Dorset the there started to say look the only way we can counter this talak tourettes is by saying uh right we can say okay the only valid talak will be the one that is do dou umented with two witnesses and on a formal it's it's got witnesses and it's signed just uttering talak is no longer viable acceptable it is uh it is null and void so now what will you see now that opinion anywhere

else won't be accepted but let's say the in Dorset they happen let's say they happen to be 40 scholars in Dorset now they all more or less most of them let's say 30 of them 35 of them start giving this ruling in Dorset so all the people in Dorset now right start to practice this because you have to remember in the past there wasn't social media so they didn't have much access to other people other cities today people just go on YouTube and obviously whatever get their ruling from there but in the past they would just resort to their local Town Scholars so if the majority of the people in Dorset started to give this

ruling even even though it's a weak ruling and now this became a practice a norm it became normative over there this would now become strong okay like you would now according to the Shar especially within the school of Medina if you are in Dorset you would rule by that ruling and this ruling is a valid ruling okay and the Amal would overrule the the other valid opinions just to keep that synchronicity and

Harmony this and even though the opinion in essence may have been a weak opinion but because of the welfare it was deployed and then it became widespread so now to maintain that Harmony we keep it so this is why in the of places like f and other regions you had things like the h capital punishment was dropped and substituted with penalties with financial penalties and fines by many of the Malik so things like this was part of the that they had in certain regions

they used to it became the that so for example stealing would not have cutting off the hand stealing would have a financial penalty so it's interesting how the malikia the school of Madina cultivated this practice and so it is it is uh uh it is amazing today there has been some work done into Reviving uh a lot of the fatawa that were issued there was a legendary Don Maliki who um Al M Alani abua Al Mah Alani uh

an amazing scholar around in in the beginning of the last century and he is really a teacher of uh I mean my part of my which go through and his teacher go through wasani now he has actually compiled a book called in which he compiles a lot of the rulings that were issued in uh around Fair around F and fast and some of theat are in there and stuff like that so it is really interesting I do think we need

to capitalize on stuff like that in our age to really bring out these nail these fatawa and use them the problem is that some they they kind of you see it's weird because they they they praise that it happened but they refuse to adopt them so that's the the kind of uh it's weird like they they kind of they praise they praise it as long as it's not something you apply right okay people whoa is that the time what is the quickest way to learn Arabic so many programs try the be program

people with Alan he's got some legendary stuff on there was an exception to Evolution Adam was an exception to Evolution was he created in Jenna on Earth Adam lived on earth okay he the Jenna that Allah speaks about in the Quran is not the Jenna in Paradise when he's speaking about Adam the jna is speaking about is a garden on Earth okay and that is what as well taught in his book and that is what many Muslims believe but maybe not the majority but that is um and that is the understanding that I have that it was on Earth okay um right come on let's try to wrap

this up people all right um right I'm just trying to see any interesting some of these questions have already been answered yes they have so let's get to the point uh right so some say humans control Gins and use them for magic refer to my video on gin possession no it's not possible um is fixed depositing money in bank alloud I'm not sure what that means say

hus is fixed depositing money I'm not sure what that means what you mean by that um right can you explain the Hadith about to do with the end of times uh not right today right we've gotad on the line there right once again uh a colleague from the time of studies in Karachi Pakistan people that's right some people some M are saying games playing chess and games like Monopoly are Haram um Jalal of course they're not Haram it's absolutely

fine to play things like Monopoly and stuff like that that's not Haram okay right uh there's a question here about something to do with the Shayan I can't really read it properly um do you have to go around to people's houses and ask for forgiveness before you go Hajj or is that a cultural thing now you don't need to go around people's houses asking for forgiveness but people do that H you don't need to do stuff like that you can just go Um right what is your be my opinion on the best translation of the Quran I'm not really

there's quite a few translations now out there so I'm not really I think maybe ask uh Imam web actually I think he uh would be definitely much more clued up on stuff like that um so I don't want to because I haven't really read them phrase [Music] that the concept is repeated elsewhere in the Quran okay that the heavens Allah

says that we made them a kind of Heavens a kind of um a repellent like a firing towards the the Devils or the or whether this refers to the Gin what is that talking about people some people said this is talking about Comet comets that you get in the flying kind of stars and stuff like this shooting stars that's not what it says in the Quran that's speculation okay um what Allah is possibly speaking about are certain layers and he's maybe not speaking about layers which we see in the sky but maybe at a universe level or the edge or things like that as in fact if you read

um or if you look into uh physics that's working on on the cosmos or trying to explore the cosmos and how the universe is expanding and at the extreme ends what it actually is that's expanding the kind of force and impenetrable force it may be things like that that Allah is referring to you have to remember that Allah is addressing a people who do not have any framework or parameters to understand these kind of things so he's saying it in a way that will just make some sense to

them uh right so right if you live next door to a non-muslim and you don't tell them about Islam will you be accountable no not necessarily it doesn't work like that you don't have to feel compelled to give the okay just live as a decent Muslim and that's fine okay you do not need to you are not Andi speaks about this as well in his and he says that it's it's recommended that da is for the state to give it about twice a year not upon individuals

like this okay so it's not something you have to you're like you're not sinful uh the best thing you can possibly do is lead by example be a good Muslim be a good neighbor and that in itself is the best possible dawa you can give right can I use my uh inhaler to ease my Airways during the fast I've done that during my fast and fous videos watch them and yes that's absolutely fine it will not invalidate the fast um right if somebody does wo according to the Hani school can he pray according to the Sha way I've answered this previously check my last video I go into

much depth and that's absolutely you can do that I've highlighted that just watch my uh my followup purification video on purification and prayer the Q&A I did on it where I cover that in much detail uh do I have to cover myself when my adopted brothers are around um I've answered this before yasmina as asked and they were adopted when they were one or two I've I've answered this before that look there is going to be a difference of opinion in my understanding that based on Mas that the Wester Mark effect would kicking which in Psychology is why you do not have a sexual attraction to your

own siblings your own sisters your own Brothers is because you've grown up around them okay and it triggers that uh the kind of what they call in Psychology the Western Mark effect that will have kicked in so the thing is in my understanding based on mus it would not be necessary to do the extended kind of hijab obviously I mean you wouldn't walk around uh naked I mean you wouldn't do that anyway not even with the Mah but the the the covering the with Maham is is is kind of diminished obviously just you know it's just to you don't need to cover things like your hair your neck

your arms lower legs things like this you don't need to the way a woman would normally be at home around family you can be like that in my understanding but people may disagree with that okay right so people let's just take the last one or two we got to call this a night right so how do we deal with transgender Muslims are they allowed in mosques of course there allowed in mosques uh people right you have to understand something that as Allah says in the Quran that you have to know

that that the mosques belong to Allah do not prevent people from coming to the MOs they're not your buildings okay they belong to Allah anybody and everybody is allowed in a Masid according to many great imams people like Imam Abu hanifah and that I mean according to to most imams non-muslims everybody is allowed in masjids but okay with the Haram certain applied restrictions people like IM Abu hanifah didn't even see that for there said look everybody's allowed right you cannot restrict transgender people from going to the mosque God damn it that's um utterly unacceptable I

would consider that uh you know and Allah says that who is more transgress pressing than that person who prevents others from entering a Masjid the house of Allah so and where do they pray they pray wherever they identify if they identify as a male they pray with the men if they identify as a female they pray with the females and see this is our problem isn't it because we've got segregation if we didn't have segregation we wouldn't have this problem so the prophet left us with no segregation as it it was a shared space it wasn't a separate room for women separate room for men but we came up with the

that's why we now have a problem right so right people I tell you what that's it let's uh right so right our anabolic steroids sting operation there right I've answered that previously look these things are more a matter of legality than they are to do with religion um right so okay people right with that let's call it a wrap people inshallah it's been an awesome wow Subhan Allah that think I must have done your heads
