MashAllah practical and well written. I already forwarded this to the family (brothers & sisters) and ask Allah that you will be given Ajr for your intent.
May Allah bless you your Family, relatives, friends, and all those you care for with a wonderful Ramadan full of reward!

According to my understanding from Fiqh Al-sunnah my wife had to pay Fidya if she was planning on going the whole year (Ramadan to Ramdan) breastfeeding. So last Ramadan we fed 30 people (a person a day) and this year she is still breastfeeding so we're going to do the same inshallah. If I recall correctly the stipulation for paying Fidya instead of making up the fast was breastfeeding for the whole year in between the Ramadans. Wallahu Alam (Allah knows best).

Re: TOP FIVE HEALTH CARE LIES—AND HOW TO FIGHT BACK

jmat — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 21:35:04 -0000

it is interesting that you only post the reference of the bill to the first lie but there are no references to the bill for the rest. for example on lie #2 it clearly states on page 16 of hr3200 that you will not be able to purchase private insurance on or after the year the health care bill becomes law. i recommend that everyone read hr3200 and draw your own conclusion. it has come to a point in time that being conservative or liberal,democrat or republican is not the issue. the issue is the bill hr3200 and how it will effect everyone of us

What about a woman who is nursing? Does she have to fast? If it is too difficult for her does she have to make up the 30 days later? and does she have to pay fidya?

JazakumAllahu Khair for the very inspiring article dear shaykh.

I sent you a facebook msg a few days ago, so apologies if you're getting the same message twice But is it possible for you to speak at this year's Charity Week for Orphans Annual Dinner in the UK insh'Allah? Organised by ULU ISoc (University London Union of Islamic Societies) as well as FOSIS and in partnership with Islamic Relief, Charity Week for orphans is a student led project that has managed to raise over £1 million pounds for orphans all across London and unite over 100 Islamic societies on the way.

JazakumAllahu Khair dear shaykh and I look forward to hearing from you!

One of my friends had this to say about the head of the band:

I had a run-in with Mr. Knight at the infamous "Muslims for Bush" booth during ISNA 2004. It was an interesting discussion - as we began talking about the hadeeth of the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, somewhere in the conversation, he interjected the idea that, "Well Aisha went to war with 'Ali because she wanted the caliphate for her father."

I did explain to him the mistake, and he became quite silent. Needless to say, I don't think he knows much, and what he knows is mixed up in jumbles.

Re: Lessons From Surah Luqman (part 2)

syedz7 — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:57:05 -0000

It was narrated from ‘Ali that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Pen has been lifted from three: from the one who is sleeping until he wakes up, from the child until he reaches the age of puberty, and from one who is insane until he comes to his senses.”

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1343; Ibn Maajah, 3032; al-Nasaa’i, 3378)

A similar hadeeth was also narrated from ‘Aa’ishah in the four books of Sunan apart from al-Tirmidhi.

This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi, and by al-Nawawi in Sharh Muslim, 8/14

Just a comment on that. I don't think its a huge new movement really. It seems to be more like a fad at best. I've read quite a few articles on this supposed movement and those kominas and two other groups are all that are mentioned. It seems like those kominas are just using islam as a tool for some publicity. Basically ABCDs trying to put their name out. I think Imam Webb talked about people like them passingly in a recent lecture.

assalamoalaikum wa rahamatullah

I am greatly enjoying this series of talks and the blog itself

jazakAllahukhayrn

Would it be possible for you to clarify about the three who will be exempt from accountability (sorry I dont remember the hadith clearly) but I think the categories are:-

1) the child
2) those who are mentally unable to understand
3) the ones whom the message didnt reach

What exactly does the third one mean ?Does it apply to current day and what does that message have to be in order for it to mean that one has "received" the message?

the worst of the matter is that nihilism is spreading in Arab countries , without us noticing it. because it comes in a whole "globalization" package.

Walaikumusalam,

I do not think it is possible to apply from outside of Cairo. Just about any applicant will be admitted, the question is where he/she will place (based on the entrance exams). The administration is not very organized, and since you have to a blood test and other medical exams here (mandatory in one of two Azhar affiliated hospitals), you would have to be here in person.

Salaam:

Thanks you for the piece. It's very insightful and thought provoking. I begin my approach to fiqh by following a madhhab. Could you please define what you mean by majority and minority positions in particular junctures of fiqh. I think this could help me understand the perspective of many the pears that I work with who say they take from all four schools.

Jizak Allah Khair
