Fear Allah, shameless woman, stop using mobile and internet without Mehram

​​@@adolft_officialAnd if you claim to be so pious or righteous (meaning, if you consider yourself a pious person like no others in your view), then why are you commenting on a non-mahram woman? Are the boundaries (of modesty and respect) only for women, with no accountability for men? Do they get to do as they please wherever they want? Or are you like those Jewish scholars who used to make exceptions in the religion only for themselves?

It really was beautiful!

Alhamdulillah..welcome back to Islam. Keep learning sister.😊

Fear Allah, shameless woman, stop using mobile and internet without Mehram.

Aameen☺️

Yes please,I wish Sheikh Belaal would have his own video of all the Quranic recitation,so we could follow.Love them,it's soothing and comforting. Must say his recitation is as good as Sheikh Yassir Qadhi.

Waiyyakum. Yes, there are a few. Combining all the Hadiths together, show that all of them refer to the practice and intention of ‘pride’ and ‘superiority’, even though there are separate Hadiths. Some scholars still maintain not to do it and maintain that it is still forbidden either way, but others clarify that the علة (problem for why it was forbidden) no longer exists, which is that it was the sign and characteristic of elitists and supremacy or showing off. A large group of scholars maintain that all the Hadiths in this area are based on pride as the reason. We see this with Abu Bakr raa whose izaar used to drop due to his thinness, the prophet pbuh said to him ‘you are not one of them’, meaning those who do it out if pride. Allah knows best.

Jzkh for not letting this question slide. we know your time is valuable & you can't answer every question thrown in the comments.. so thank you for answering this one for the brother & not just benefiting the questioner. Most balanced & logical clarification on the topic. Again Jzkh.

​@@belal.assaadAssalam o alaikum sheikh, I am a Muslim girl from a Muslim country,I want to go abroad for higher studies. My brother and father does not have any issues with this rather this will make my family feel proud of me,but I'm really confused either it would be anti-islam for me to go abroad alone without my mahram. please response.JazakAllah kher

​@@shaharbano1048 forbidden

WaSalam, That is correct. Your aunt’s husband is not your mahram, and he is not your real uncle. It’s just cultural respect to call him uncle. And your husband’s uncles are not your mahram either.

Thank you, can you cite any hadit where its specifically states for women to cover the hair. I really want to wear hijab and continue after ramadan but I'm just not convinced fully

WaSalam yes the same applies.

I would love to know the answer to this too!

WaSalam. To be in the safe side, ask her if it was at least 4-5 separate breastfeeding she gave him (on 4-5 different occasions). Secondly, NO, he does NOT become mahram to you. He becomes mahram to your aunt’s children only. The only way he becomes mahram to you and your siblings if you your mother breastfed him.

​@@belal.assaadAssalamualaykum Sheikh. I think you meant to say that the questioner's brother is mahram to all their aunt's children (their cousins). But the questioner is NOT mahram to those same cousins, as she was not breastfed by that aunt. Btw there were two children who were breastfed by my mom when their parents passed away. So their children are all mahram to me, correct? To be honest I had never thought about this part of the mahram equation.

@@SheriDin WaSalam. Yes, thank you for correcting me. I meant, the questioner’s brother only becomes mahram to all of his aunt’s children. They all become his foster-siblings. The questioner does not become mahram to the aunt’s children. However, if your mother breastfed those 2 babies, then those 2 babies now become your siblings including all of your siblings as well.

​@@belal.assaadthank you for responding Sheikh. Alhamdulillah. So now I have more nephews & nieces who are my mahram by virtue of those ladies that my mother breast fed. I just finished listening to your lecture. Very enlightening indeed. May Allah increase you in beneficial knowledge. Aameen. I hv a request if you can create a "short" video on the topic of "hugging/ kissing cousins". It happens a lot around us. Because in our culture we grow up so close to one other (just like siblings) we forget that when we are no longer children, we need to cover in front of our cousins, let alone hug or kiss them on the cheek. It is a real problem. Short videos are easy to fwd. And the very people who need to know these things don't watch long videos. 😅 Another good topic for a short video is about wiping socks. When I attend events, come prayer time, I see women doing gymnastics in the toilet, bringing their feet into the wash basins at least over a meter high. Then they do a balancing act & struggle to put on their socks on their WET foot, one after another. I just wipe over my socks and sometimes get dirty glances. These are very relevant topics for day to day comfort. I believe women who don't do their prayers when they are outside, actually hv issues with the performance of wudhu & they rather miss their prayers. Btw I was visiting Turkey during winter some years ago & I could not take off my winter jacket because it was too cold. I couldn't push up the sleeves as it was too tight. And I had several layers on inside. So I washed my arm maybe up to 6" above my wrist and afterwards I wiped over the jacket that was covering my arm all the way to my elbow. And I prayed that Allah accepted my wudhu. Those were difficult days, travelling during winter. Water was cold as ice. Alhamdulillah for the ability to wipe over socks.

​@@belal.assaadASA can you please provide me with more information and credible hadiths regarding hijab. I'm just not convinced yet because I haven't come upon anything where it specifically stated or camanded "cover your hair." Surely Allah would be very clear regarding this had it been so important ruling. Please help

It is haram because shaking hands is not a necessity. What does the action signify? Respect. And respect between a man and woman is different from between a man and a man, and a woman and a woman. Respecting a non-mahram is avoiding touching them or looking at them. Especially touching them, where as looking may have some purpose (you may have to look to recognize the face of a colleague because of modern times, or perhaps a family member, but it doesn't need to linger and it may be purer not to). Families would also be larger back then, so if you need to talk to the opposite gender you can ask one of your sisters, or one of your brothers to deal with their gender. Yes this action of shaking hands is sinful, but it does not break wudu. I agree Sheik Belal probably should have addressed the question, but we need time to process information sometimes. If he brought up the compromises we make daily as a society, people could be distracted from what they learned today. I think he should have addressed it anyway and left it to Allah (not based on hadiths but what I think I should do), but Allah knows best. Rulings should be taught with wisdom, and too much change can prevent any change. Aisha (RA) stated if the Qu'ran was revealed with all the prohibitions of alcohol and stuff, that society would not have accepted Islam. But rather Allah gave revelation to them over time. So it can be equally valid to withhold certain controversies until there is proper time to address it. Imagine telling someone just learning about Islam after not praying for years, that they need to change their behavior in every societal matter. It could overburden them. Imaan is something that grows with obedience to Allah, and diminishes with obedience to shaitan. And Allah knows best.

If the abaya is loose its ok

jazakumullah khair Yah Abi

Or Maybe men should also find a way to lower their gaze and control their lust, because just putting it on the women is to easy. We're not the only ones supposes to lower our gaze and it seems like a lot of men forget about that.

In the west, it is difficult maintaining proper hijab as it is and Niqab would make it difficult for the masses. No doubt Niqab is praiseworthy but it is NOT mandatory according to the majority of the classical scholars. Fitnah will always be there, you will have women without any sort of hijab or women with hijab with beauty, regardless men have to guard their gaze. Fitnah existed at the time of the prophet (saw) despite he (saw) didn't make the face veil mandatory on women but ordered men to guard their gaze. Allah knows the best.

When a women dies it clearly declares..only mahram men can see her ..then wat about while she is living??off course she should cover right ..no where in history books comes the appearance of the sahabah women as its pardah..n mens appearance is mentioned... Allah knows best ..n may He guide us all..

School of thought is an almost mandatory in islam. If you dont have a school of thought, you dont know how to live your life. You need a school of thought to understand and think. It takes rulings from hadiths, quran and more, and puts a definition and an understanding to it, and exceeds that in which has not been talked about. If you dont have a school of thought, you dont have a way of life, and you dont have a way of islam

Same applies to the men too since men aren't allowed to be around non mahram women. Especially since men are the ones going out of their way to seek out women especially the non Muslim naked ones online
