Question: What is the ruling on using some perfumes that contain some alcohol?
Answer: Praise be to Allaah.
The basic principle is that the perfumes which are commonly used among people are permissible, unless we find out that they contain some substance that make it disallowed for us to use them, such if it is an intoxicant, or a large amount would cause intoxication, or it contains some najaasah (impure substance) and so on.
But the basic principle is that the perfumes which are commonly used are permissible, such as 'ood, amber, musk, etc. But if a person finds out that a certain perfume contains something that would rule out its use, such as an intoxicating or impure substance, then he should not use it.
This includes cologne because it is has been proven by the testimony of doctors that it is not free of intoxicants; it contains a large amount of alcohol, which is an intoxicant, so we should not use it, unless we find a kind of cologne that is free of that. There are enough perfumes among the kinds that Allaah has permitted to us that we have no need of that kind, praise be to Allaah.
The same applies to every kind of food and drink which contains intoxicants - we should refrain from consuming them. The basic principle is that whatever causes intoxication in large amounts, a small amount of it is haraam, as the Messenger (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:
"Whatever causes intoxication in large amounts, a small amount of it is haraam." [Narrated by an-Nasaa'ee in al-Ashribah, 5607; Ibn Maajah, al-Ashribah, 3394]
And Allaah is the Source of strength.
Shaykh Abdul-Azeez Ibn Abdullaah Ibn Baaz (rahimahullaah)
Majallat al-Buhooth, Issue No. 33, p. 116

Imām an-Nawawī (raḥimhu Allāh) said:
“If a person falls into the same sin a hundred times or a thousand times — or even more, and he repents after each time, his repentance will be accepted and his sins nullified. Even if he was to repent after all his sins just one time, his repentance would still be sound.”
{شرح النووي على مسلم ١٧/٧٥}

Suhnun رحمه الله said:
" It was rare that Ibn al-Qasim would come to us without saying: "Fear Allaah since even a little of this-meaning knowledge- along with the fear of Allaah is alot. And a lot of it without fearing Allaah is a little."

As-Siyar by Adh-Dhahabi (Volume 9 page 122)

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

The first generations of Islam were the most righteous, so their rulers were likewise. When they later became tarnished with corruption, the rulers over them became corrupted. Hence, the wisdom of Allah refuses that righteous rulers like Mu’awiyah and Umar ibn Abdul Aziz are put in authority over us in these times, let alone the likes of Abu Bakr and Umar. Rather, our rulers are in accordance with our nature and the rulers of those before us were in accordance with their nature.

[Miftah Dar As-Sa’adah 1/253-254]

It is reported that Imām Mālik (رحمه الله) said:

❝Whatever you fool around with, don’t fool around with your dīn [religion].❞

[Al-Lālakāʾī, Sharh ʾUsūl ʾIʿtiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah, (1/163) ]

"The origin of evil is preferring opinion over the texts and preferring desires over the Shari’ah.”

‎Prophetﷺ:Verily,Allaah تعالى hates every person who is knowledgable of the worldly life,but ignorant of the Hereafter.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullah) heard a group of people arguing, so he said:

“These people have become bored with worship, and speech has become light upon (their tongue), and their piety has decreased and that is why they speak.”

[Ahmad in Az-Zuhd and Aboo Nu’aym in Al-Hilyah]

Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān:

"Many people nowadays, if you see them doing something wrong and forbid them, will say to you, There is a difference of opinion on this issue. They take difference of opinion as a justification for what they are doing, even if it contradicts the evidence."

كان يزيد ابن حكيم يقول

ما هبت أحدا قط هيبتي لرجل ظلمته وانا اعلم انه لا ناصر له إلا اللّه و هو يقول لي: ‘حسبي اللّه، واللّه بيني و بينك

Yazeed Ibn Hakeem (rahimahullaah) used to say:

“I have never feared anyone, more than my fear of a man whom I oppressed and I know that he had no helper except Allaah, and he says to me, “Allaah is sufficient for me, and between me and you is Allaah (i.e. Allaah will judge between us).” [Source: Taken from a khutbah by Shaykh Husayn Aala-Shaykh on the aayah: حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل ‘Allaah is sufficient for us, and he is the best disposer of affairs ( Surah Imran. Aayah 173]

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say,

“If you survive to the evening, do not expect to be alive till the morning. If you survive to the morning, do not look forward to the evening. In a healthy condition, prepare yourself for illness and while you are alive prepare yourself for death.”

[Bukhari – Kitab Ar-Riqaq (Book on Heart Softness), hadith 6416.]

Al-Hasan al-Basree:"O son of Aadam,you are nothing but a number of days, every time a day has gone,a part of you has gone." [Siyaar 4/585]

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaimīn (رحمه الله) said :

❝It is only right that a person be optimistic, feeling happy about the good he sees [in things]; and he should not look at the life lying ahead of him in this world as dark and dismal so that he becomes weary [of life] and loses hope.❞

Sharḥ Riyaḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn, (4/115-116)

We live in a world where the majority of the people don’t believe in Allah and the only thing they worship are their desires. The issue of rape is out of control in the west and the dangers of allowing your wife to leave the house are enormous. Maximum effort should be taken to ensure that women are never alone. Many Muslim men today don’t care about their women, we have followed the way of the disbelievers. If you don’t have any sense of protection in your heart for your women, still protect your women regardless as failing to do so is a major sin. And sisters, if your husband lacks this sense of protection over the women in the house, it doesn’t mean you can freely do as you wish. Teach your husband if he doesn’t know, save your father, brothers and husbands from the punishment in the next life if you really truly love them.

Narrated Al-Mughira (Radi Allahu Anhu):
Sad bin Ubada said, "If I found a man with my wife, I would kill him with the sharp side of my sword." When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard that he said, "Do you wonder at Sad's sense of ghira (self-respect)? Verily, I have more sense of ghira than Sa`d, and Allah has more sense of ghira than I."

Sahih al-Bukhari 6846
‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There are three at whom Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will not look on the Day of Resurrection: the one who is defiant towards his parents, the woman who imitates men, and the cuckold.”
(The cuckold is the one who approves of evil conduct in his family)
al-Nasaa’i (2562) Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i.

Shaykh Al-Albaani (Rahimahullah) said: “And you, O man, O father, O brother, are supposed to be very jealous. Why? Because the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say: ‘Aduyyooth will not enter Paradise.’ Why? Who is a duyyooth? He is the one who does not guard his womenfolk jealously.”
[Saheeh at-Targheeb no.2071]

Ibn al-Qayyim, rahimahullaah, said,

"And the Dayyouth (the man with no jealousy over the women in his family) is the most vile of Allah's creation, and Jannah is forbidden for him, (because of his lack of Ghayrah - jealousy).

The foundation of the Religion is Ghayrah, and the one without Ghayrah is one without Religion, for Ghayrah protects the heart and enlivens the limbs, and shields one from evil and lewdness, and lack of Ghayrah kills the heart so that the limbs die, so that there remains not even shielding from [the minor things].

And the example of Ghayrah in the heart is the example of the strength that shields one from sickness and fights it off, so if the strength leaves, he will be faced with the sickness, and will not find any thing to protect himself from it, so it will establish itself [within him] and destroy him ."

Ad-Daa' Wad-Dawaa', p.77

Abu as-Sa'ib, the freed slaved of Hisham b. Zuhra, said that he visited Abu Sa'id Khudri in his house, (and he further) said:
I found him saying his prayer, so I sat down waiting for him to finish his prayer when I heard a stir in the bundles (of wood) lying in a comer of the house. I looked towards it and found a snake. I jumped up in order to kill it, but he (Abu Sa'id Khudri) made a gesture that I should sit down. So I sat down and as he finished (the prayer) he pointed to a room in the house and said: Do you see this room? I said: Yes. He said: There was a young man amongst us who had been newly wedded. We went with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (to participate in the Battle) of Trench when a young man in the midday used to seek permission from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to return to his family. One day he sought permission from him and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (after granting him the permission) said to him: Carry your weapons with you for I fear the tribe of Quraiza (may harm you). The man carried the weapons and then came back and found his wife standing between the two doors. He bent towards her smitten by jealousy and made a dash towards her with a spear in order to stab her. She said: Keep your spear away a

nd enter the house until you see that which has made me come out. He entered and found a big snake coiled on the bedding. He darted with the spear and pierced it and then went out having fixed it in the house, but the snake quivered and attacked him and no one knew which of them died first, the snake or the young man. We came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and made a mention to him and said: Supplicate to Allah that that (man) may be brought back to life. Thereupon he said: Ask forgiveness for your companion and then said: There are in Medina jinns who have accepted Islam, so when you see any one of them, pronounce a warning to it for three days, and if they appear before you after that, then kill it for that is a devil.

Sahih Muslim 2236 a

Ibn ‘Umar (Radi Allahu Anhu) said:
Abu Moosa Al-Ash’ari gave a mat to ‘Umar’s wife ‘Aatikah Bint Zayd, and I think that it was one cubit and a handspan. ‘Umar saw it with her and said, “Where did you get this from?”
She said, “Abu Moosa Al-Ash’ari gave it to me.”
‘Umar took it and hit her with it, then he said, “Bring Abu Moosa to me.”
So he was brought to him and he (Abu Moosa Al-Ash’ari) said, “Don’t be hasty, O’ Ameer Al-Mu’mineen (Leader of the believers).”
‘Umar said, “What made you give gifts to my womenfolk?” Then ‘Umar took it and hit him with it, and said, “Take it, we have no need for it.”

QUESTION: Some people started believing in what the media of the enemies try to spread, which is an intellectual planned invasion. Like when they say: “ Islam is unjust to women, Islam has kept women at their homes and thus kept half of the society unemployed”. What is your answer and comment on this lie?

ANSWER: (By Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (Rahimahullah)
Praise be to Allaah.
My comment on this is that these words can only come from one who is ignorant of sharee’ah, ignorant of Islam, ignorant of the rights of women, and is impressed by the attitudes and ways of the enemies of Allaah who are far away from the truth. Islam – praise be to Allaah – did not take away women’s rights, but Islam is the religion of wisdom which gives everyone his or her rightful status. Women’s work is in the home, and her staying athome is for the purpose of looking after her husband, raising her children, taking care the household affairs, and doing work that is suited to her.
The man has his own work to do, which is usually earning a living and benefiting the ummah. When she stays at home to look after him and her children, and the interests of her children, that is the work that is suited to her. It is also a protection for her, as it keeps her far away from immorality which may occur if she goes out and works with men. It is well known that when women work with men that also adversely affects the man’s work, because the man has a natural inclination towards women. If he works with her he will be distracted by this woman, especially if she is young and beautiful. He will forget his work and if he does it, he will not do it properly. The one who studies the situation of the Muslims at the beginning of Islam will see how they protected their womenfolk and how they did their work in the best manner. [End quote].
[Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen. Alfaaz wa Mafaaheem fi Meezaan al-Sharee’ah, p.72-73.]

‘Alee Ibn Abee Taalib (Radi Allahu Anhu) would denounce people who did not prevent their womenfolk from going out to the marketplaces and mixing with the disbelievers. He said to them:
“Do you not feel any shame or protective jealousy? For I have heard that your womenfolk go out in the marketplaces and mix with the disbelievers.”
[Musnad Ahmad, 2/254]

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the one who came into his house and found a stranger with his wife, so he gave her her dues and divorced her by talaaq, then he went back and reconciled with her and heard that she had been found with a non-mahram man.
He replied: In the hadeeth from the Prophet (blessings and peace of All
