About the meaning of the hadith: “Any woman who takes off her clothes in a house other than that of one of her mothers…” | Shaykh Muhammad 'Ali Ferkous

Question:
What is meant by the hadith that says: “No woman takes off her garments in a house other than that of one of her mothers, but she tears the cover between her and Ar-Rahmân (the Most Merciful)”(1). Is putting off her Jilbâb (veil) when being among her Mahârim (2) in a hotel while travelling included in the meaning of this hadith? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon whom Allah sent as a Mercy to the Worlds, upon his Family, his Companions and his Brothers until the Day of Resurrection:

What is meant by this hadith is when a woman shows her body or a part of it to strangers (men that are not Mahram) and she does not cover her body before them with the veil ordained by Allah – that is to say the veil of righteousness as Allah Azzawajal said:
[[ Ô children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness, that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember ]]
[Al-A‘râf: 26]

Her retribution will be a scandal, as she tears the veil between her and Allah, He will tear her veil, and tearing her veil means [here] a scandal(3), because she does not keep well what she was ordered to do by sustaining her veil before the strangers, so she was given her retribution because: “As you treat you will be treated”.

It is included in the prohibition: to put off her clothes in public bath, because usually, the woman does not cover her ‘Awra(4) before women. However, she is not concerned with the punishment if she puts off her Hijâb before her Mahârim or when she is among Muslim women by keeping her ‘Awra covered, i.e. just to reveal parts of adornment of her body as Allah says:
[[ and not expose their adornment (i.e. beauty) except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess (i.e. slaves), or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women ]]
[An-Nûr: 31].

The same thing when she travels with her husband or with one of her Mahârim, be it at the hotel or somewhere else, because the apparent meaning of the hadith is about showing her body to a stranger who gets from her what he wants even with a sight full of desire or with what comes just before the sexual intercourse.(5)

The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah Azzawajal; and our last prayer is all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and prayers of Allah are to Muhammad and his Family, Companions and Brothers until the Day of Resurrection.

Homeless & Senseless
It is reported that ‘Abdullāh b. Mas’ūd – Allāh be pleased with him – said:
This world (the dunyā) is [only taken as] a home by those who will have no real home [in Jannah], and it is the wealth of those who will have no real wealth, and it is gathered and collected for by those who have no real intelligence.

💎More than Recitation

📌It is reported that ‘Umar b. Al-Khattâb – Allah be pleased with him – said:

Do not be fooled by one who recites the Qurân. His recitation is but speech – but look to those who act according to it.

📌It is reported from Al-Fudayl (b. ‘Ayyâd) that he said:

The Qurân was sent down to be acted upon but people have taken just reciting it as enough of a deed. He was asked, “How is it acted upon?” He replied, “They should treat as halâl what it makes halâl and treat as harâm what it makes harâm, they should take on its commandments and stay away from what it forbids, and they should stop to ponder its amazing knowledge and wisdom.”

The trials of a Believer and the Trials of a Sinner

Salmân Al-Fârsî – Allâh be pleased with him – once visited a sick friend. When he entered upon him he said:

Have glad tidings, for verily Allâh makes the illness of a believer an expiation [for his sins] and a cause of being pleased, whereas the illness of a sinner is like a camel that has been tied by its owners, then released by them: it knows not why it was tied up nor why it was released.

Al-Bukhârî, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad in the Chapter on the Expiation [of sins through] illness. Graded sahîh by Shaykh Al-Albânî in Sahîh Al-Adab Al-Mufrad.

*If a Person is Exposed, It’s not his First Sin*

Anas b. Mālik reports:

A young man who had stolen was brought to ʿUmar (for punishment). He said, “By Allāh I have never stolen before this time.” So ʿUmar responded, “You lie, Allāh would not (or does not) surrender a servant of His on the first sin.”

Abū Dāwūd, Al-Zuhd article 56, and others. Graded ṣaḥīh by Ibn Kathīr and others.

Fear of poverty.

Sufyān ath-Thawri رحمه الله said:

"There is no weapon for the Shaytān against mankind similar to the fear of poverty. When the fear of poverty falls into the heart of a person, he prevents the truth (from being manifested), he speaks with desires and he has evil thoughts about his Lord."

Al-Mughni ‘an Hamlil-Asfār, 4/32

Always Ask Allāh For Thabāt (Firmness) Upon Islām
عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يكثر أن يقول : يا مقلب القلوب ثبت قلبي على دينك ، فقلت : يا رسول الله آمنا بك وبما جئت به فهل تخاف علينا ؟ قال : نعم إن القلوب بين أصبعين من أصابع الله يقلبها كيف يشاء
Narrated from Anas Raḍi-Allāhu ‘Anhu that the Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam used to say abundantly:
“Yaa Muqallib al-Quloob Thabbit Qalbee ‘Alaa Deenik.”
(O Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your Religion).
So I asked him: “O Messenger of Allāh, we have believed in you and everything which you have been sent with, so are you afraid for us?”, he (Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam) replied: “YES, indeed the hearts are between two Fingers from the Fingers of Allāh, He turns them however He Wills.”

“Allah has made eyes the mirror of the heart; So if the slave lowers his gaze, his heart lowers its desires, and if he lets his gaze loose, his heart lets its desires loose.”

[Imam Ibn al Qayyim رحمه الله تعالى Rawdhat al Muhibeen]

Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله تعالى said:
“Who sincerely relies on Allāh to achieve something, will achieve it.”

[Madārij Es-Saalikīn, 2/114]

Fudayl ibn ’Iyyād said:

If you are able to be unknown, then do so. What does it matter to you if none knows you? What does it matter to you that none praises you? Why would it matter to you that you are criticized by the people if you are (considered) praiseworthy by Allāh?

📚[At-Tawādu’ wal-Khumool by Abū Bakr Al-Qurashī pg.44 | Translated by: Raha Batts]

🎓 Ameer al-Mu'mineen, Umar Ibn al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه said:

❝Verily, a person may come out of his house carrying sins like (the size of) Tihaamah mountains. When he hears knowledge, he fears, turns (towards Allaah) and repents. So he returns to his house free from sins. Therefore, do not distance yourselves from the company of the scholars.❞

Modesty, Self-Sufficiency & Patience – Dr. Saleh as-Saleh
Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that:

Certain people of the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he gave them; then they again asked him and he gave them until all what he possessed was exhausted. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said,

“Whatever wealth I have, I will not withhold from you.

Whosoever would be chaste and modest; Allah will keep him chaste and modest and

whosoever would seek self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient; and

whosoever would be patient, Allah will give him patience, and no one is granted a gift better and more comprehensive than patience”.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن أبي سعيد سعد بن مالك بن سنان الخدري رضي الله عنهما‏:‏ ‏”‏أن ناساً من الأنصار سألوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأعطاهم، ثم سألوه فأعطاهم ، حتى نفد ما عنده، فقال لهم حين أنفق كل شيء بيده ‏:‏ ‏”‏ما يكن عندي من خير فلن أدخره عنكم ، ومن يستعفف يعفه الله، ومن يستغن يغنه الله، ومن يتصبر يصبره الله‏.‏ وما أعطي أحد عطاءً خيراً وأوسع من الصبر‏”‏ ‏(‌‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‌‏)‏ ‏.‏

Jazaak Allahu What? -Explained By Moosa Richardson (Hafidhahullah)

There is a Jazaa' for the people who deserve punishment, their punishment is called a Jazaa'. And then there is a reward for the people who do good and this is a Jazaa'

And this is to let you know (and this is an added benefit) that it's NOT sufficient if you want to make du'a for someone in their favour to say "Jazaak Allah" it's an empty du'a. Allah is going to give a Jazaa' to everyone, so to make du'a that you get a Jazaa' is meaningless.

"Jazaak Allahu Khairan, Jazaak Allahu Ihsānan, Jazaak Allahu something-Firdawsan" and typically we hear "Jazaak Allah".

As the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said: "Whoever has had something done good to him, and he says to the one who did it to him "Jazaak Allahu Khairan", he has done excessively well in thanking him (for that good thing)

HE SHOULD NOT FEEL SAFE FOR HIMSELF!

"The hearts of the slaves are in between two Fingers among the Fingers of the Most Merciful."
{Reported by Muslim in his Sahih (4/2045 no 2654) from 'Abdullaah bin 'Amr (Radi Allaahu anhu).}

Shaikh Fawzaan: He should not feel safe for himself. Prophet Ibraahim said:

"...And keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols. "O my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind..."
[Qur'aan 14: 35-36].

A person should not feel safe from trials and an evil end for himself even if he is the most righteous of people. On the other hand, he should not despair of Allaah's mercy even if he is the worst of people. Allaah may favour him with repentance such that he dies upon Islaam and enters Paradise because as long as he is living, he is exposed to this or that; and actions are considered according to the last ones.

🔍 *Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan on the Study of the 'Scientific Miracle'*

Numerous people have been leading the 'Scientific Miracle' bandwagon and directing average Muslims into using this as a basis for inviting others to Islam. *This is NOT the way of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, the followers of the Salafi methodology in da'wah.*

The reason is quite obvious and plain.

🕳Scientific knowledge is always in a state of flux and attempting to correlate verses of the Qur'an with modern science is in reality
⏩ *speaking about the intent of Allaah without knowledge, and amounts to lying upon Allaah, the Exalted.*

🕳Whilst the Qur'an alludes to certain natural phenomenon, the primary purpose behind such texts is
⏩ *to make a man reflect on the universe and upon his own self and upon his own creation* (how he came to be) so as to come to a concrete realization:

☝🏼That none has the right to be worshipped in truth except Allaah alone and that
☝🏼there is no true serenity and satisfaction for the hearts _except in this._

📮 *Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan on the 'Scientific Miracle'*

The Shaykh delivered a lecture ennoscriptd ( وقفة مع قوله تعالى: هو الذي أنزل عليك الكتاب ) and was asked the following question therein:

❓هل علم الإعجاز العلمي في القرآن ، علم محدث أم لا ؟

❓Is the science (study) of the scientific miracle of the Qur'an an innovated science or not?

The Shaykh answered:

🅰 محدث ، الإعجاز العلمي هذا محدث ، قصدهم العلمي ما هو بالعلم الشرعي ،قصدهم الصناعي و الأفكار التي إعتمدوها من المخترعات وهذا علم دنيوي ولا يفسر به القرآن وهذا يخطئ ويصيب أيضاً ، فكيف يفسر القرآن بشيء عرضه للخطأ، عرضة للخطأ وعرضة عدم للصحة، لأنها أقوال الناس . نعم .

🅰It is newly-invented (muhdath), this 'scientific miracle' is newly-invented.
Their intent behind 'scientific (knowledge, study)' is NOT the legislative (Shar'iah) knowledge, *their intent is applied science or the ideas they depend upon from the newly-invented things.*

And this is WORLDLY knowledge, the Qur'an is not to be interpreted by way of it, because it can be right _and wrong too._❕

🔊So how can the Qur'an be interpreted with something that is subject to error, subject to error and subject to absence of (being) sound, because they are from the sayings of men. Yes.
