well Afflalo salatu was-salam ala nabi he'll mustafa and the best of praise and blessings be upon his chosen messenger voila by the hill 18 october and those of his servants whom he is pleased with oman be who Dahomey tada and those who follow in the guidance Wahby atari a little medina text afar and those who follow with the tradition of the people of Medina

um but Allah Akbar what a way to start a me I wanna slam down on this table but I don't want the phone to to fall over or anything so let's begin inshallah qat did the process allows him say that wrestling is Sunnah indeed I don't know if the Prophet SAW Allison said wrestling is Sunnah the Prophet did wrestle the Companions generally wrestled they obviously practice things like sword fighting archery I mean the bull then was very different as well it's very yeah a man's man's were like a

very macho kind of lifestyle I suppose which was its they weren't doing it to kind of show off they were doing it as it was Table two their lifestyle like having knowing self-defense or you know keeping healthy or horse riding or stuff like this this was some wonderful tactics if you didn't if you weren't good at these things you weren't going to survive so the professor Adam did do the participated he encouraged people to participate in this day and age I think wrestling I think if you're doing any kind of martial arts that's

awesome if you can do what I'm what I'm I'm because I'm trying to understand the person's question right which is that has shamrocks question right that it's not about I'm not saying if somebody doesn't do wrestling or martial arts that they kind of sinful or wrong or lacking but I think it's a good discipline it's something that Islam encourages or just keeping healthy at least you know the proselytism said and happy about encouraged swimming to the extent you know so even though when you think about it there wasn't much water

around where but it was encouraging it for those that would be exposed to that horse riding obviously not a an age it doesn't mean you have to go to learn horse riding you can do but it's not necessary and it might be a bit out of the way but just go into the gym martial arts waiting done whatever is somebody wrote that on the saw good man it's all good which hotel you get it from great minds think alike you know that you know I actually did used to go to

I still got a resume in anyway what would frequent a lot of hotels quite a bit actually and they take my family take my daughter as well and she she loves like going to these different towns and stuff so is that what you're saying that every time you go to hotel rady I couldn't possibly comment on that alright so let's go to yeah loud and clear if Allah or some or Jesus or Allah lock America for what is Mauritania specialized in Islamic Sciences Allah

Kusama or what is lovely eloquence for what is Mauritania specialized in Islamic Sciences mm-hmm for what are these Sciences of which you speak Mauritania is awesome for its kind of of its its its Islamic Sciences mainly things like ther course all Arabic language things like this they are renowned for I mean it does not mean that they do not have anything other

than it does not mean they do not have tara art they do it does not mean they do not have had if they do but what I'm going by my understanding which may be lacking and as the principal says or Alisa I'd Malay Elmen belied them and the absence of knowledge is not the same as the knowledge of some things absence I remember that one people right so the thing is they have the mattresses are called mojave or Mahara or they call it some of them call it math dora with the law under baht so it's both but quite

popularly you'll see math Laura and some people think that's because of the kind of Xavier are the kind of figure we cool it now the kind of straw mats that you have that people lay down and sit on top off so they call those how they arise well sometimes in arabic but the point is that they say they call them these math are are the madrasas and they are renowned for an Incred i don't know that they've been gifted with incredible memories Allah Adam but that's how it appears they seem to be amazing seem to memorize anything in everything which is

well although I don't know if if that's the I don't know if they always ideal for contemporary kind of issues some of them the people like the legend Muhammad Hassan mohamed mohamed IBN al-hassan a deado chef that won some I think I've seen it written as Dido as well but he is incredible he's awesome and you see him he's like such a celebrity super celebrity and somebody

is in direct contact with him so I have to say he is a legend and he on contemporary issues he has some awesome but our things like women and I shared his photo of saying like women can travel on their own catch planes stuff like that he doesn't object to things like that he said about women wearing makeup it's absolutely fine they don't need to cover the face they can even wear makeup and and and I really I shared that and I and I like that approach and I've even reached out to him about my the whole nail polish kind

of waffle women I'm just showing that not that I wear nail polish okay don't worry you getting some ideas people don't swing that way but the thing is so anyway he and he laid hand actually kind of agreed with what I said I said to him look I've given this photo I've given this ruling on the nail polish and this is the background and so on and your thoughts on it and he said well I agree with you a row which is huge which is you know I've done like that saying that's such an honor right so Salaam of the what is your

verdict on transgender Muslims I mean what do you mean verdict why would I have a verdict on transgender Muslims I wouldn't have a birdie they are Muslims like everybody else may Allah make their struggle of ease I mean I mean and replace their difficulties I mean Abdul oh is that you Mawlana without the Lowell who many years ago many moons ago we studied together abroad so Annie's ashes animal honest Oh salute right delete the app through your settings and download it again it should be fine Oh Gibran but the problem is it kept

saying waiting so it wouldn't allow it to be deleted I tried deleting it wouldn't let it do it because it just said waiting and wouldn't download and it took me like it mean half an hour I thought you taking the mick now what's the Matta mad hair products according to the Maliki meth-lab Allah just keep the hair cool and awesome as the hadith says that man can allahu sharon for you cream The Messenger of Allah said whosoever has he let him honor his or her hair take care of it Charlotte Salam chef DARS requested looking for a Maliki wife

alright Murad is that you looking for a Maliki do you mean by that looking for that on my live lesson is that are you trying to are you trying to kind of like exploit my lessons here so good man so good well let me know how that works out for you in sha Allah Maliki fix my leaky in for marriage specified look at that the brother specified Maliki for marriage now there's a few more sale that the my lackeys are trying gonna go into because yes we're just gonna get blacklisted

so Salam why didn't we Ringgold for men didn't get the same ruling as wearing trousers above your ankles why I'm trying to understand math mail service monies question why didn't we Ringgold for men get the same ruling as wearing trousers above your ankles right so we're in trust above your ankles is linked to a custom which I don't really think is is valid at all evident in our day and age right so the thing is what are all these super super angry faces coming out man

right god damn whoa I seem to have annoyed a few people right I've got to shoot them all all off now right so anyway it didn't because why couldn't like why can't gold be more attached to arrogance I mean hey I don't know the prophecy Lila slim said it is Haram and it's been pretty much deemed Haram but mostly I'm not aware of any kind of differences of opinion on that and

usually these differences for some reason find their way to me they have a way for their own owed to it for doing that but but I haven't heard of any differences on that mark sure what do you think about the note a gory article in the Playboy magazine what are your thoughts what on earth is a torte are you having a writing Lisp you know this note a gooey thing I mean I have not read her article or anything but obviously everybody on Facebook this

went mad over her I mean I I mean I can't be personally I think look people have their freedoms do whatever they want from what I'm aware that the article wasn't anything I mean that right I don't know the island the article but from what I heard the article wasn't anything kind of disrespectful or anything like that and and she did this obviously there is an understanding that the Muslim community just won't accept certain things so they're not at that stage to accept certain things I understand that and

then obviously because playboy is Playboy so you know why give an interview with Playboy and stuff like this but I mean look there is something though I'd like to say and that is that we as Muslims have to learn to restrain our wishes to exercise control on the whole world people are free independent people they live their own life we have no control over them we and we don't have no luck to be trying to control them some you know if somebody it's it's if they asked you give them your opinion but you don't need to all go on like who I mean where

this this node is that she she's not like nobody has authority over her like she's an independent human being who's living her life doing whatever she wants to do so I mean just like I'm sure you you mean everybody else is doing whatever they want to do so I think we have to just kind of back off and learn to stop wishing to control other people where we don't have that authority well let's say I lay him maimie site there as allah says in the quran and you are not somebody that has that authority of control over them seems like you're

drinking with your left hand does it this is actually my right hand it might be that the screen is flipping it so i mean that's that although i am left-handed left-handed people big up to all the left-handed people out there do you drink with your left I don't this is my right hand but I mean the screens flipping it mostly please enlighten about report Alex because a hot topic and he's booked against in the Supreme Court of India Wow Danny Saab both marijuana it luckily to know that I didn't realize that that's such a one

hot topic and it's going through some kind of legal action they the thing is that if in my understand look the Polacks are known right so we do know about generally the predominant position is three thalaaq so three okay so we said that and there is a minority position that gives it some space what I would say is that we need to learn to exercise some tolerance as well and space with people where people are trying to make people are trying to reconcile we need

to kind of learn to exercise some muscle has some welfare with them to kind of help them out okay people don't understand Islamic rulings to to kind of just throw their lives away like that I think is it it goes against the Mercy compassion of the Sharia and that was the Fattah of cheerful Islam the Maliki moved the legendarium of the evening I assure of Tunis in the play sixties he granted the fatwa de in those circumstances we would consider three Polacks to be warned and I say that to people who need help so if people want

to get back together I will exercise that book for them to help them and that's what Islam Edina you sir Islam's about helping people although personally I would but teach the default position as really but if somebody came looking for help that's how I would help them hello hello it's a Muslim Allahu Alem Helen a Muslim Allah my Muslim the guy asked say God knows was the ruling I'm missing German America Juma counted America Hasan are you doing right I see a lot of your facebook posts and yes of course Joe mice counted worldwide

wherever you are as long as a group of people can get together if you have to miss it I'm taking for some ruling like I don't know whether that's something like work or stuff like that you do have reasons it does give you plenty of whoa I'm seeing a lot of seeing a lot of angry faces come on my hand people smile up a bay why so serious come on right show some love people show some love so the thing is now I would say look Jamaa it way if you if you're stuck in working stuff you do have a an

excuse to a valid excuse to miss it you mentioned a few months ago that surah Naas was not revealed in response to the process and being a vaca victim of black magic that is correct surah Tomas is a mucky surah where's the magic incident is am athenian case can you say what the ruling about divorce I have already said the ruling on divorce no Shane is that you blew up man's world I just want to say you know the other day there was this feminist really gave me a bit of a tough time actually I the thing is look I stick up for women's

rights and I believe everybody should but I think sometimes some people just overdo it like and I'm not saying and I hope this is not the majority it's only a minority minority of people some people I think they may fall into you like man-hating and I think that becomes a problem and that's not from the Alec that we should have as human beings primarily and as Muslims you know secondarily just to alaikum salam' Suraj all right so what is the status of those hadith which are chain lists are they fabric you know they're not necessarily fabricate it if I had these doesn't have

a chain it can be investigated you've been looking at sugar and you can can you please enlighten by triple toe lock as I've explained the triple toe lock incident three or three but if you can't exercise leniency to help a couple I I believe you should mostly when you're going to arrange your own trip with your good self I'm not worthy seriously I just remember those words of Harley Talib our keys mu said yoga Harley shehram don't go my god that how would you go to cab do you not have no shame

for God's sake slavery halal in Mauritania no I don't believe it is below and I don't believe that in this day and age Islam would allow it either our what is the opinion on another evil eye in my understanding evil eye is just a synonym for envy it doesn't have any existence beyond the and the hadith referring to it being a truth aligned or hoc what it meant was in terms of its outcome so not that the evil eye but the fact that just like envy is we say envies Huck is true but it's not maybe in itself that harms you but it's when

people act out on Envy and that causes harm so another mother I come another or lying all these kind of things I don't really believe in these kind of things and I see them to be passed superstition really and part of the greater kind of cultural myths I think Islam came to kind of eradicate superstitions and to build faith upon certainty and reason elaborate on the different schools of Arabic in Iraq their general scholarly beef a skirt on ever it's been a while since I've seen somebody with interest in NACA the

schools of of naho kind of really took the formation in Iraq in places like initially Basra you had a lot of very early kind of people who proceeded the lights of Halil and so on but really it matures with people like Khalil even a model for a Haley his students heave away these kind of people are some key people they obviously have a lot of Kufa picks up as well in a similar style maybe people across and sturdy as well with them you have a student of civil

wanna sell a fish now these three are fishes but the middle one right but anyway Apple has enough about Hassan enough fresh I believe is the main one and he he kind of becomes this pivotal figure he influences some of the he disagrees a lot with zebra way and a lot of the coo fig scholars like Asahi namely take from him become influenced by him and they carry on and they have this rivalry that goes on for few generations and then there's about Daddy school and other places emerge as well they have difference of opinion I really if I go on about it I'll lose most of people on here because they won't

understand what I'm talking about but they have some awesome kind of discussions there's a book by Yves not embody known as a lean soft team little fella now he is both daddy who takes a bit of a fav liking towards the Kofi's but really I don't think he did it in Soph he tries to arbitrate between the two he has about 300 issues but I don't think he did a fair job he hardly ever gives justice to the cool fees and less on a handful of issues am I wearing a row well it is indeed gin alert it's a Gucci role Aurora there's someone one by me right there are people

teaching Islam but they have no background affirming study or any of the how do we advise them how do you advise that people teaching Islam I mean I don't know if people who are teaching Islam I mean if they don't know anything if they don't know anything why are they so eager to import it anyway I mean I don't know what to say to them sugar and children for the hairstyle thing I actually just just brushed you know I was growing my hair long for Leah

wall for a few weeks I've forgotten how much hard work it was seriously to grow long hair I just couldn't I couldn't be bothered with it so I just went to the hairdresser's you know off it girls learning and understanding Quranic Arabic yes Farida Lian absolutely you need to study the Arabic language I do agree that it is an obligation upon all Muslims to the best of their capacity to learn Arabic by any means necessary whatever you can do the begging our program with stars nominally Han I was speaking to him recently about some of the programs and

yet some very good programs in this Sun which you can do remotely and you can just do them online and catch up on your own in your own time and so I think if you if you go to their website or Google eBay in our programs they've got I'm not sure than the name of the exact program but you'll see you'll find it's all I think I've heard some great things about it just joined concerts pardon me my question is Oh is a liver alive does he perform Hajj every year my Issa Patel Sahib there's a difference of opinion on whether is he

always alive or does he is he still alive in our age I don't personally believe he is this arguments on both sides malarial party has a book called l had their fear unreal harder because he's also called how dare is called header is called water you know they pronounce it in a few different ways some people said that he remains alive and so on and they use an evening Cathy they argued for that he was dead I think member hardy said argued for him having died they used the hadith at the proselytism said that was the hadith the

hadith that man mean that man mean Nev sin but they said this the the wording of the hadith just but the Prophet said in a hadith that a hundred years from today there isn't a soul on the earth that will still be here and so based on that they said that it was that clear that Ali's lamb had died obviously other people said the Prophet wasn't talking about him I don't personally believe he's alive now that's my understanding I read the one all right really those who don't know really all right

our local Maliki from braum town is in Saudi Arabia right now right teaching away so awesome stuff oh stuff right good nor good verdict sorry I'm just catching up on the on some of the comments crystal are on the transgender comment sugar and sugar and I mean it's true the thing is that I think we there's some things that we give too much of a hard time to people on and also I think some things I when I was studying my if that course there was a question to do with transgender

about something else not the kind of questions we're looking at today but remember this is going like about 12 years ago when I was doing my about 11 years ago 1112 and I was doing my monthly course now I remember at the time trying to do research and and I've realized how little has been written throughout the entire Islamic history on people of transgender and historically they called him hunter like and I know transgender covers a whole variety of you today from transvestites to

transsexuals historically I suppose they primarily spoke about those who either had both genetalia both kind of parts or kind of none and then just developed one way or the other oh they had one but started to develop the other way so they call them Punta in Arabic now it is kind of shocking how little has been kind of dedicated to the the kind of honorary category in in terms of the rulings and stuff like this and it's almost a shame

really I found it that historically people people just blanked them like no I don't think they blanked them in society but in the books I know they speak about them in how you give inheritance and stuff like that yes but for example things like marriage they will just say well they have no right to get married and I found that like a bit like really shocking that how can you say that though because they are still you know God's creatures they're still people and like if they want to like what are they supposed to do so and you

can't say that I mean historically I suppose I don't know what they would have done I mean I know people had obviously slaves and stuff like this and actually it's interesting even though arabe says that he when one of his Diaries one thing I love about a body of work heading our way is to write Diaries he he speaks about when he was studying with the mom mother's early and there was this transgender kind of person that would study there with him so he says he was a man big beard but he'd have like he's if that like we would like big breasts and he'd be like baby it was a big bearded

kind of guy studying with him a mother's early so he said but he used to have these two slave girls and all the Oh bucket even Harvey says like he says I always used to think like okay but is he kind of active as a male with those slave girls and so he says like I still wonder and he writes this in his book by the way a cardio work of Mallory says I wonder was he sexually active and and he says I wanted to ask him and he says but every time we kind of started discussing he says for some reason I never got like

the you know the moment it just wasn't right like the conversation wasn't right to ask that and he says and then we kind of parted ways and that's it and he and he says years later years later he's in Al Andalus nice back in Spain he says that years later now he and he's probably been like a decade or so later he says it beats the hell out of me and I so wish that I'd asked well I suppose we all have some regrets but I think

it's a bit unfair II just I so I think these things need to be revisited what's the proper way to curl wait alright come on get that pre-workout drink get in there just get on with it that's the best way I'm telling you ready doing it so why are people angry at you I don't know why are people angry god damn spread the love people storage and iCloud settings delete it from there that way let you okay Gibran if I need any help I'm gonna reach out to you the verse of the Quran yeah you wanna be

phileas logic open attic when he said my name is Nina Lina was the question to my humble understanding what is more suitable that they will be known and be abused say of being abused or hurt if the moxa then today the question what about today's world women are being abused because they're recognized as Muslims and hijab and I'm not sure what the question is right there so I'm just trying to understand what far what the question is I think what your wife is asking is if the moxa the objective of the sharia for her job was to safeguard

and today if it was becoming an instrument to endanger them should that not be kind of reevaluated I think yes as a contingency ruling absolutely so if a woman's hey job was going to endanger her I don't think she she has I think she has a dispensation not too worried that's absolutely I don't think anybody would really disagree with that understanding but I'm not sure if that was the the objective obviously is modesty and so on and but Allah Allah my hope that's off somehow Yusuf al-khattab all right brother how are you doing that's brother Yousef from the states

right the moku who is clicking on the angry button on and off I don't know damn right let me live hashtag nor sing nor her hi give us no hahaha hashtag the you know the verse you know the hadeeth Ya Allah give us no that's what that's what people are gonna be people are gonna be misquoting what do you think of my Pakistani jokes are jaha Allah those people don't know Jahan there is major active brother from braum town once

again this is from Brahms finest okay so you some awesome work right so let's be honest there's a lot of Maliki's living in my Leakes living in very very very awesome sense of humor right so Real Talk what those Playboy's an agent of the police Allah alright well okay thanks for that statement right Salama I like your thoughts on imam abu hanifa and comer being I see the lineup it'sh that makes little sense at first glance but cool illumise korean

economist skier summer cool Oh Cameron Haram yep I mean was the question the thing is that the regarding alcohol the skull is historically from The Tempest Elif disagreed on what alcohol is because when allies using the term alcohol in the Quran comer the that Allah was specifically addressing the alcohol that was being made out of grapes like wine or dates now so was it restricted to that or was alcohol you

know anything that's an intoxicant so the hanafi madhhab said that alcohol hammer i see alcohol is a sign is obviously a chemical so i don't think using that is the right word but hammer is restricted to those two and the rest are intoxicants as well so with intoxicant you see without with hammer then they said that you can't even have a drop of it but with intoxicants if the if it hadn't reached an intoxicating level its walls for through fermentation and stuff like this then it wouldn't

actually be Haram even if we had reached a subtle level but not the full level this was what the historical beef the beef was all about it's all about that point and they said that it wasn't they didn't consider impure so stuff like beer the Hanafi method wouldn't have considered that impure they would have just considered if it's been fully fermented to be Haram but if it wasn't fully fermented to be permissible so this is obviously today none of them will speak about this by the way but this is in the books historically so man can't drink with left hand hello

as a good question can you drink with your left hand the hadith says could be a meaning where I eat with your right hand yeah I mean it's not Haram I don't believe personally it's Haram to eat with your left hand I think it's discouraged to drink with your left hand I think generally the Sharia would encourage that you do things like eat and drink with the right hand but if there was a reason like let's say you're doing something and I don't know your hands are you're eating and you just need a quick drink of something and you drank with your left hand I don't think it's a big deal in sha blah joana sahib uh saying what's wrong with left left left is awesome I'll tell you

left-handed people I don't know how many people are they are left-handed but special connection with left-handed people they I'm telling you this but this is interesting you see because it's kind of predetermined isn't it are you coming to this world and you're already have that and that will kind of give you certain I don't know maybe certain it'll give you an aptitude to do certain things maybe Allah Allah but one thing I did do when I was 18 I practiced writing like I became right-handed as well so I started to write with my right hand especially Arabic in fact recently I've

been reading to brush up the English with my right hand now because I never used to write English much with my right hand so when I write you still like like a but I really could write well you see so if I wrote Arabic with my right hand it just be normal so I'm trying to brush up my English now as well with that but I think that's interesting those of you that have time why not learn how to learn to write with your left you'll unlock some potential in your brain I'm telling you I'm doing my engineering my job interview start since I can get very impatient when it comes to Islamic learning what should I do

Oh faizon Faison those of you that don't know our brother from India are pure Beadle Hindustani who's studying the sacred science is over there so I think just keep the learning going in shop law prayin you know just set yourself a schedule that works in Charlotte a marine closer istel are valid through messages and also valid if general yes I mean through messages I think unanimously it's accepted if the wife is on menstrual cycle according to the majority of scholars it happens

according to some of the Hannah Beulah the humbly scholars it doesn't generally they will say it does happen I know if there had been an issue and to kind of help the couple reconcile maybe a dispensation could be exercised based on that fatwa so basically what I'm saying is people could give that fatwa to help the couple get back together Anissa Bors Daini Latifah Maryam come in and no idea what that says no idea

right so inshallah what's up mostly so man all right chef and what's our prayer Johar or cell recitation you can do you can do both really but uh people to some people to jihad if you're doing in the mosque don't do jihad obviously just to serve but if you're doing you're on your own you can recite Johar means allowed audible and sir is inaudible silent right okay is it permissible to give salam to your right and left at the prett at the end of fraser Maliki Quran

of course it is of course it is even after bar actually has a whole book kind of dedicated an article dedicated to that right so so the thing is right I'm just sorry just right so the so yeah I mean that's absolutely permissible you can do that okay both are absolutely permitted so you can say a lot of Maliki just tend to go Salam o aleikum that's it in the pre finishes inshallah make there are people I am we are working on releasing a quick prayer

video on how to pray in accordance with the school of Medina with the Maliki method Charlotte once that's done that will be up on YouTube so but the thing is most Maliki's will just do some last Salam aleikum and to stop the some of them you can and if you're praying with people you say Salam aleykum Selam aleykum you can also say Salam o aleikum wa rahmatullah there's no problem in that you can say both ways some Maliki's tend to do 3 even though i ought to be really hit the roof on that one so if you read his reputation he just goes bizarre haha I think if he had a gun he would have gone trigger-happy on he says war on

earth is this nonsense of three salams but I'm not too down with the three salams either like you know they do like one two three I don't I would say one or two are absolutely that's how I would kind of encourage Joanna shukran shukran Francisco Gonzales are a blast espanol right Salaam o aleikum how Salam aleikum me a Mufti let's see Suraj what's the question question is about Chris Christie I see this gonna

make me sound like a now is what they don't know I've read English Cresta scenes well I did actually leave school with no qualifications Cresta scenes are crabs shrimps and prawns well oh it's not what we call that category shukran I learned I learned something this shukran I'm gonna like that look at that crust Essenes or crust I don't know how you pronounce it I'll have to find out crabs shrimp some prawns halal or Haram all according to the school of Medina all creatures of

the sea are hala including amphibians so that includes turtles that those creatures which live on land water so crocodiles turtles frogs lobster you name it it's all halal all birds are hollow and predatory beasts in fact most animals are simply only buckaroo okay prayer trapeze so in the Maliki method when it comes to food very little is Haram okay even things like lions tigers are not Haram they just mackerel

so how can I go on Hajj was still having student debt just go on Hajj all right come to Los Angeles Los Angeles is shell or inshallah the LA that's it man city of the Angels why not why not Sharla Nisha says if two people are living apart and want a divorce but one of them is not willing how can this be done well if the guy is divorcing then he can he can obviously conduct that if the girl wants the divorce the wife and the guy is not willing and the relationship was broken

down she can apply for at the lock unfortunately she can just apply to a sharia council unfortunately some are less understanding than others but I tell you what if you get in touch with the Islamic council code at UK and shall speak to them and they should be very helpful on that inshallah that's you can you can listen to to that again in sha Allah let's see if so that's the Islamic Council yeah which you can just go to their website called at UK right how does one make any cat contract well I mean an the cat contract is basically just saying want to get married or won't

have any cat with you and the other question says all right I accept and you say all right it's all you just do it like this you go oh it's on and the other person goes it's on don't quote me on the joke your proper nikka you just say now I'm you know on Venus we accept is in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah for the maja of such answer she said to my heart you ask you have witnesses present and the woolie ideally you have a garden present although it's not a necessary

condition according to certain math HAP's person who is doing angry face probably the first one the own they only follow half Quran and Sunnah Allah Quran was Sunnah he see it's interesting because Imam Malik was very forceful on that understanding and we stick to that understanding to the letter of it but note how we do not say that we follow the Quran and hadith we say we follow the Horan and saamne because the Maliki

drew a distinction between hadith and some man okay so so not every hadith is a Sunnah did the most he explained about crushed to see Christa scenes I don't know if I'm pronouncing it wrong but yes it's all good it's all good don't worry don't worry we deal in the Maliki method well I initially many years back studied when I was studying in the late 90s in Damascus I initially started studying there there was some Maliki I studied with them I was very fortunate hamdulillah some

great people then when I traveled to Pakistan when I began to do my eylem course there was a Maliki muti what a coincidence who was living in that motherís are teaching so you know under his tutelage and then continued in the class as well they would teach comparative fig so they would teach you the Malcolm s up as well and so just when Tonica Adamle canceled on give us a little recitation I wish I could I wish I could seriously I do not have that kind of voice hamdulillah he rubella I mean I wish I had a voice like people I I

can't do it I just don't have the but Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump oh my god how could and you know what it is it's not that I support Hillary Clinton but Donald Trump is just a bigot a racist bigger who doesn't deserve any attention and nice and the fact that he's got any it would shows you that money talks is any difference of opinion Markovic with regards to the boodle prerequisite of not letting limbs dry out during will do continuity especially considering worse for say yes of course if a person has any kind of what what will do guys

is will wrap this up in about ten minutes here in charlotte so it's about an hour long how does that sound and I'll try and and we'll keep these regular intial on Monday nights here but anyway I mean I'll take these questions yeah we'll do about ten minutes right so is there any difference of opinion on yes if a person has any if you're suffering from OCD just ignore the OCD at all costs you are under command right to ignore the OCD that is a direct commandment from the sheliak to you so ignore it under all costs okay whatever

that's impacting and yes the Molalla more or less is common sense you can it doesn't matter about the limbs drawing out but it's more about things like all right look at that some love being shared right this your grandchildren right back at you people man so the thing is it's about not about limbs being dried out because some countries are hotter and warmer than others but it's more about the common sense thing obviously if I started to wash my hands and wash my face what we'll do and then I I don't know I took a nap or went out to do shopping or decide to clock our entire season of suits or something

that's not gonna work easy I need to start the wall from from the beginning so how can we get much used to talk about movements and get active and such things black lives matter now bus I totally agree with you this I feel I never i've made a post about this little while back when the not I known recently there's been incidents but with the last set of incidents in in America with the black lives matter I said I feel that it is it is demonstrative it is it demonstrates a failing on on

behalf of us as Muslims that we did not capitalize and did not capitalize serve wrong word that we did not that we were not representative and pioneering and at the front of the movement of black lives matter seriously we it is a failing on our behalf and I was disgusted with some of the comments by some you know people Masha Allah man of great followings especially you know that are originally kind of Middle Eastern or Saudi based

but when they said this is not our problem this is not a Muslim problem black lives matter I thought that was utterly disgusting and seriously if the professor Allison was here today he would have been at the forefront of the effort and movement of black lives matter right inshallah Ricky I will do one a week as to getting must youth involved sorry man I don't I don't know how to get my students involved because first of all much these won't involve me right so how does one get over a major sin look people we need to focus on the

good the bad will take care of itself okay so don't worry don't get obsessed don't get don't guilt trip right things are human nature you need to focus on the good that's what I tell people that's what I tell my students that my friends that look it ain't about the I don't know that's my approach you might criticize you might say it's wrong I accept that but we our approach is that you focus on the good things and the positives you're doing don't worry about the negative it's right don't worry about it sharp la our Lord is merciful inshallah right so the thing is how to deal with converts in guiding to learn they're fit so how do they choose a method most of them

don't know what or who they follow true for each good question it's quite simple really they should just follow the school of Medina but the Maliki fig to be fair is very kind of accommodating for for the West in general especially it's being entrenched in the understanding of sana being firmly based with the foundation of muscle have wealthy and then recognizing things like culture as a huge kind of thing I think these are really key points and then having a history of 700 years in Europe Spain Muslim Spain is an awesome kind of

cocktail really what's significant does rose a hint have in our time and of time that sorry this way and I don't think I don't know if it has any significance I know this is a hadith about that there will be a hospital hand I'm not sure what that really meant and stuff like that Allah Adam but I don't think I think we need to stop becoming apocalypse apocalypse obsessed ok that we are epochal apocalypse entered that everything is about triggering the final days everything should be about living

not about dying ok not one of these maria saal a sub kiss up we're gonna die anyway I know that but thanks for reminding us but the thing is look and I think the focus needs to be on living whilst we're alive in sha allah in this dunya yolo so leave it that's what the hadith teaches that needs to be our attitude nowadays what if one has work in uni on Jamaat times can't make the alternate classes I mean you can if it's difficult to attend you mike it can be excused that's what I

believe do you consider Holly hit kill alpha to be an obligation no not really in my understanding I don't think this world will return to that kind of stake really I don't think we can unite under a person I don't think unity like that is kind of feasible to be honest I don't think ever was even historically I think it's a bit romanticized when you anybody who studies history realizes it never was like that actually so it's it's just a romantic kind of you know when people keep going on about how all of our

problems will disappear if we had a Halawa I mean what are they talking about we've never had centralized authority in the Muslim world ever since the very early start of Islam so if they if we haven't had it for almost like I mean unless obviously you could say money emmaus time there was some centralized authority but even if you know there were huge struggles the rise of the Abbasids the other the kind of Huaraz movements in north africa things like that and the split off the break off of the wallet in al-andalus so even if for a few decades they did have it in the

beginning ever since so for over 1200 years this Ummah for over 1200 years has never seen centralized Authority why are we going to see all of a sudden so I don't you laugh like an Indian villain hell yeah why not right so no no nothing to be sorry about there you go like the is establishing the Salah afford I know it isn't far behind any comments on Playboy I've already done the comments above I've said people need to just let people be and stop trying to control other people even if you disagree like if you disagree with people fair enough you disagree with them if they ask you about

it just comment give your opinion but you don't need to become obsessed about trying to control other people lift this up these brothers say there are only ones on Quran and Sunnah they are making brothers and sisters go against their family shouting circle a little bit see the thing is a bust the when we say that you're absolutely correct having a nun distract understanding it won't we can't get anyway because it just doesn't that's not how the Dean would work the problem is we as human beings struggle with ambiguity and some people struggle with

it more than others in some less so the theme unfortunately for those people is ambiguous - it isn't as monolithic it isn't just black and white some very basic things are like one guard one like that kind of stuff but once you get beyond the very base yuba basic kind of statements and facts it becomes a very incredibly kind of like shady and I don't mean by shady like suspicious but I mean like it becomes this gray areas everywhere huge overlapped understandings differences of opinion

vast differences one saying Halle wanting her arm all these kind of things that people struggle with them and then another thing which I can't over emphasize enough is our preconceived understanding of religion our ontology of religion before we even come to the table to learn what religion and that what I mean of religion with a capital R so we all carry preconceived understandings so for example and before you or anybody learns anything about Islam they already know it's a religion by that they already have an understanding that it will be something

to do with do's and don'ts they already understand that it will be something that is this is their kind of preconceived understanding that it will have rituals they already understand that it will you see that religion as the capital R is to do with purity purification they see it as they they already assume it will be anti desires so anything of desires they assume it will be anti desires they assume it will be anti anti duniya anti world so it's not about kind of not about the worldly kind of stuff so these are

preconceptions that we have before we so they already have this understanding that they will be sorry just that they have this understanding that it will be anti pleasure anti fun and it will be all that they understand they have an understanding will be about sacrificing and suffering now these when you bring these preconceptions to the table before even learning what Islam has to say any ruling first of all they will influence your rulings because you will seek confirmation so whenever you come across certain texts that match that

understanding it will just fit right in and other texts which are more open-minded or sorry open free-spirited you will struggle with because it doesn't match this ontology and so so when people say things like music is haram it's easy for people to accept that because it matches this ontology of religion is supposed to be anti desires anti having entertainment and TVs it's supposed to be about purification purification being pure not indulging in desires whereas if somebody said music was halal even if they imagined there

was overwhelming evidence for music being halal people would still struggle to embrace that because their ontology and pre concept conceived ideas of religion would clash with it so it's a bit like like when you get rulings today of anything to do with of a sexual nature it's easy to denounce all those rulings because it matches that ontology and anything that that kind of gives you a more I don't know an open interpretation people will struggle with right let's move on what does the Quran

say about nativity on Charlie Charlie you need to focus when you're writing ok you need to pay attention see I'm gonna say something and then I'm gonna get in trouble for it right anyway so I mean you need to focus with those hands when you're writing and I think what you're trying to say is masturbation but the point is well that's what I'm talking about you see that I mind standing it is that I I don't believe it's Haram I don't believe

the Sharia says it's Haram necessarily there's no evidence in the Quran asana but people will struggle to accept that because it clashes with the ontology of religion okay so there was a right next question there was a monolith named Heath who was a companion transient yeah absolutely absolutely crystal that's correct alarm of this el-hadji guys what time are we coming I think we should be kind of wrapping up what do you what do you say what do you have to say about Halloween is it permissible I believe it's permissible I think the Americans are a lot harsher on things like that I

don't know why that is actually UK people generally I think but then again the UK you can have a lot of weird people in the UK but I mean I found a lot of open-minded American scholars harsh on things like Halloween because they link it to paganism I don't really feel that I disagree with that because I feel that nobody today when they're celebrating Halloween is going to start worshipping which is and you know stuff like it doesn't work like that and and

when you look at Islam when Muslims as Islam was developing there were many pre Islamic customs things like the the Raja BIA which was like a particular fast or observance and a sacrifice kept in a certain month Muslims continued to observe that there were things like what is a good one is actually and I like this understanding is a keeper and what with the child being born now our tikka was actually a jahiliyyah practice it was nothing to do with Islam

this is why even the hanafi madhhab only considered it permissible they didn't consider it recommended that's imam abu hanifa i know some others disagreed with him but my point is that what they would do is they would sacrifice this animal and crush its bones break its bones they would wipe the blood over the forehead of the child and this would kind of avert any one any harm to this child but - they said it would make the child some people said more obedient to the parents and it was like a superstition now Islam didn't actually condemn it

surprisingly it actually allowed it to the extent that it's actually considered by many scholars and recommend it so what the hadith mentions in Abu Dawood the proselytism obviously you sacrifice to Allah you don't sacrifice to the other animals you can break the bones what's interesting is the Prophet said he told people don't wipe the blood on the forehead of the child but what he said is you could wipe color saffron or you could wipe like in like henna like mainly that's kind of like you could use

color and white red color over the forehead now that's interesting because it's kind of like Islamic izing what was a jahaly practice okay dedicated to these false gods and here comes a harmless kind of a slammer sized version of it by the Muslim community although some felt it had no reward or anything but it was still permissible and I think things like that are very good for us to understand in how we should how we can participate or is permissive in things like Halloween especially and even

Christmas saying things like Merry Christmas and stuff like that ok shoutout from Vancouver Araya D do you just use your left hand to drink it is the screen that's flipping alright ok let's take a last question and era salon from Finland mostly I'd like to ask you about Muslim convert inheriting normally here this I believe it's permissible inshallah from non-muslim parents absolutely no reason you should deprive somebody it doesn't make any sense that Islam should deprive people by bracing Allah and His Messenger they

should lose out that actually would be a reason for people not to embrace Islam I don't see any reason that in fact Islam when we look at its methods it it was you know people that were kind of coming close to Islam Islam would even allow to spend money on them well my Allah fatty Pulu boom that those people that you know the more fertile Lube are those people that were kind of compassion sympathetic to Islam and they were you allowed to invest financially in those people it would make because Islam recognized that financial motivation

helps not that you bright people to have faith not like that but that you could put them in certain things and provide financial opportunities for these people and by doing so build bridges so it wouldn't make any sense to say well by embracing a line is messenger ha ha ha you can that's just pure hating on people who have got like a that inheritance waiting for them you go say the Shahada I've got some good news and bad news good news hamdulillah mashallah you're Muslim bad news ha ha you just lost out on all

of that and and the even more bad news should you decide to apostate Oh then somebody's going to be inheriting from you so I think these things are utterly I shall give you these kind of things and this perspective insha'Allah another thing is when people embrace under lights it's awesome obviously but I have a question I saw this picture the other day on Facebook of this guy I don't know your I don't think is English I think European but and oh actually may have Bening I don't know but he's converted

it is longer than this mosque standing makes these people with like kind of turbans on and stuff and okay he's become a Muslim but why do you have to make him into a
