The Inheritance of a Woman in Islām
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

?Shaykh al\-'Allaamah Muhammad Amaan al\-Jaami \- رحمه الله \- said:

The flag bearers of 'equal opportunities' focus heavily upon this subject, and with this they have been able to misguide many of the heedless Muslim women.

They paint a picture that Islām favours the man more than the woman because Islām awards the man a greater amount of the inheritance than it gives the woman, as Islam gives the man a portion equal to two females.

Why?

There are many responses to this question:

It is true that Islām allocates for the man an amount of inheritance equal to the portion given to two females. Even though the man is favoured with a greater amount of inheritance than the woman this in no way, shape or form means that the man is superior to the woman in all departments, as - by the Will of Allāh - we will see shortly.

Moreover, this division does not diminish the status of the woman; actually, it is a fair and just method of distribution.

We have already explained that Islām has placed the responsibility of maintaining the family upon the man, and the family comprises of the wife, children and even ones needy relatives.

Islām has not burdened the woman to support herself let alone maintain her husband, even though she may be wealthier than him.Before marriage the woman is maintained by her family.

Is it fair to award a woman who is fully supported and maintained an amount equal to what is given to the individual who has to spend and maintain her?

I believe that every just Muslim woman will rush to answer this question before any man by saying: 'If the inheritance was divided and distributed in the above fashion highlighted in the question, then this is unreasonable.'

Clearly, justice is what has been established by Islām, as Islām is fair to both men and women. And all praise and thanks belongs to Allāh.

What Is That Valuable Thing Which All of Us Must Give to Those Whom We Address With The Statement: 'I Love You For The Sake of Allaah'

\- By ***?***Shaikh Albaani [رحمه الله]
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖P

Shaikh Albaani [رحمه الله]: If I really love you for the sake of Allaah, I will give you advice and likewise you’ll do the same for me. This act of giving advice is very rare amongst those who claim that they love each other for the sake of Allaah.

It may be that there is some sincerity in their love, but it is not complete. Therefore, every one of us should safeguard the other, and -in this case- the valuable thing to be given due to loving one another for the sake of Allaah is that everyone sincerely advises one another, by enjoining good and forbidding evil – always and forever.

Advice to those who are Always on the Internet

?Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al\-‘Uthaymeen
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Question:
Noble Shaykh, we would like for you to give some golden advice to some of the religious youth who are constantly using the internet, may Allaah reward you with good.

Answer:
Na’am. It is known that the internet contains good and it contains evil. The one who desires good therein shall find it. It contains legislative sciences, linguistic sciences, the knowledge of industry, and other than it.

It also contains unadulterated evil; in it are many evils. It has reached me that its dangers are more severe than that of the satellite channels.

So my advice to my brothers as it relates to the internet or the satellite channels is that they have Taqwaa of Allaah within themselves and that they know that they were not created for this.

They were created for the worship of Allaah, ﷻ. And that when they reduce themselves to that which resembles animals—and this is by way of fulfilling lusts and desires—then they have lost this life and the Hereafter, and the refuge is with Allaah.

So it is upon my Muslim brothers to preserve their religion and to preserve their time and to not waste this precious, precious, precious life. By Allaah, one minute is greater than a thousand Dirhams.

Don’t you see, that when death comes, if it were said to the person: “Would you like to give us the entire Dunyaa so that We would delay (death) for one minute?” He would say: “Yes!”

Due to this, Allaah, (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى), says:

حَتَّى إِذَا جَاء أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ارْجِعُونِ ٩٩ لَعَلِّي أَعْمَلُ صَالِحًا فِيمَا تَرَكْتُ كَلَّا إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَائِلُهَا وَمِن وَرَائِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: "My Lord! Send me back so that I may do good in that which I have left behind!" No! It is but a word that he speaks, and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected. ?(Al-Mu'minun 23:99-100)

I ask Allaah for us all to have a good ending. Due to this, there has come within a ?Hadeeth:

ما من ميت يموت إلا ندم، إن كان محسناً ندم ألا يكون ازداد، وإن كان مسيئاً ندم ألا يكون استعتب

“There is none who dies except that he has regret. If he was a good-doer then he regrets that he did not do more. If he was a sinner then he regrets that he did not repent.”

Preserve your lifespan, my brother. By Allaah, it is more precious than gold and silver. If a person would not squander a single Dirham, then how could he squander this lifespan upon which revolves (his) happiness or misery?

O Allaah, make us from those who are happy. O Allaah, make us from those who are happy; O Allaah, make us from those who are happy, O Lord of all that exists.

[Unjustified, Unlegislated] Jealousy:
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Jealousy is a common characteristic of a wife. It is said that the wife displays more jealousy than the husband.

The wife who is very jealous without reason will endure many problems, problems that cannot be enumerated. Examples of jealousy for no reason are watching every movement of the husband.

She acts as his accountant, like a candle or a lantern, If he enters, if he exits, if he lifts the phone to his ear, if he texts a message or if he hangs up the phone - she is there watching.

This is not jealousy; this is nothing but a sickness.
When this occurs, trust is lost, and if trust, love and affection are lost, then nothing remains except separation.

What is the benefit of life [together] if these three 3⃣ things are lost: Trust, love and affection? Nothing remains. He is forced to send her to her family.

He says '(She is a woman who watches me harasses me and has lost trust in me. What can I expect from her?' The action of divorcing her proves this is what he is thinking.

A Warning to Those Who Speak without Knowledge

– ash\-Shawkani
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
ash\-Shawkānī:

If you have nominated yourself for giving legal rulings to questioners and judging between two disputants, know that you are being tested and afflicted and others are being tested and afflicted through you; because blood is being spilled by your verdicts, wealth and rights are being removed from their rightful owners, what is unlawful is legalized and what is unlawful is prohibited.

You are saying things which Allah ﷻ never said, with no legal evidence from the book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger.

Rather, you are saying things that, through your own admission, you do not know whether they are true or false.

So, what will be your answer when you stand in front of Allah ﷻ? Indeed, Allah has ordered the rulers of the worshippers of Allah ﷻ to rule between them by what Allah ﷻ has revealed, and you do not know what Allah has revealed because you do not know the way He revealed it.

Allah ﷻ ordered the Muslim rulers to rule by the truth and you do not know what the truth is. You just heard some people saying something so you said it too.

Allah ﷻ ordered the Muslim rulers to rule between the people with justice, and you do not know justice from oppression, because justice is what agrees with what Allah ﷻ has prescribed, and oppression is what goes against that.

These orders do not include you, in fact the ones who are ordered to carry them out are others, namely scholars, so how have you performed a task which you were not ordered to do, nor designated as a substitute to carry out in the absence of someone else.

How did you proceed to give a legal ruling based on principles other than what Allah ﷻ has revealed? You became from amongst those about whom it was said: and whosoever does not rule by what Allah ﷻ has revealed, then they are the oppressors, and whosoever does not rule by what Allah ﷻ has revealed are evildoers, and whosoever does not rule by what Allah ﷻ has revealed are disbelievers’.”

Tawheed Expiates Sins
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

From Anas Bin Malik [رضي الله عنه] that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] walked passed a tree which had dry leaves and he hit that tree with his stick and the leaves began to fall, the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

«إن الحمدلله، وسبحان الله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر»

"Indeed al-Hamdu lillaahi, Wa Subhana Allaahi, Wa La illaah ila Allaah, Wa Allaahu Akbar, cause the sins of a slave of Allaah to fall just like the leaves of this tree are falling."

HUSBAND AND WIFE AGREE NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN – WHEN IS THIS PERMISSIBLE?

? SHAIKH BIN BAAZ
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم.

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (رحمه الله) was asked about a husband and a wife who agreed not to have children and whether this is allowed?

The Shaikh (رحمه الله) responded saying that this agreement of theirs is not permissible.

As long as the woman is able (to bear children), then it is not permissible for them to do this because the Islamic legislation requires that the people give concern to bearing children and make the Ummah numerous.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

Marry the child-bearing, loving woman for I shall outnumber the peoples by you on the Day of Resurrection.

In another wording (of this narration the Prophet said): outnumber (i.e. the followers of the other) Prophets on the Day of Judgement.”

That is because by way of this (i.e. having many children) those who worship Allaah among the Muslims will be numerous, the Ummah will be numerous and strong in opposing their enemies.

It is not permissible for a man to abandon having children out of fear of either tiredness in seeking after a livelihood or due to difficulty, or due to expenditure, or due to a desire to enjoy one’s wife and other than that.

It also not permissible for a woman to do this, rather it is obligated on both of them to pursue the means of having offspring -be eager to seek the means to having children so that the Ummah becomes numerous and to fulfil what the Prophet (ﷺ) stated.

However, if the woman either suffers a lot of pain due to an illness of the womb or she cannot give birth except by way of surgical operation, then this is an excuse to not have children.

If the surgical operation (or caesarean) will harm her –it is feared that something will happen to her- and also if the children are many- being born at close intervals and bringing them up becomes difficult upon her, then there is no hindrance in either taking some pills (or contraception) or some preventative measures for a year or two – the period of breastfeeding- so that she becomes strong enough to nurture the children and able to nurture the other newly born.
