*Wearing leggings is almost the same as wearing nothing on your legs.*

_NEW TRENDS REPLACED. SUBHANA ALLAH._
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
📌For the past few seasons, leggings have come back in a big way and they’re a popular replacement for pants for many women.

🔮 Unfortunately, some Muslim women have jumped on the bandwagon as well, creating outfits that consist of short dresses, leggings, and hijab.

💡What’s the big deal, you ask? Wearing leggings is almost the same thing as wearing stockings, which is almost the same thing as wearing nothing on your legs.

💎Islamic modesty is not just about covering your skin, it’s about concealing your shape.
*between a woman and her mahrams, she has to cover her ‘awrah.*

❎*It is not permissible to wear tight clothing, either in front of one's mahrams or in front of other women, if it is excessively tight and shows the woman’s charms.

❌*It is not permissible for a woman to wear short clothes in front of her children and mahrams, or to uncover more than is customary in front of them of that which will not cause any fitnah. She may wear short clothes in front of her husband only.

May Allaah guide our Muslim women from *_LEGGINGS FITNAH_*.
Aameen ya Rabb. 💐

Encouraging Other Students by Clapping?

Question:

Is it permissible for a man to playfully clap for his child or for students to be requested to clap in class to encourage their classmates?

Answer:

One should not clap; in the very least; it is severely Makhruh (disliked), because it is a pre-Islamic practice. Moreover, it is an act that is specific to women, for the purpose of reminding the Imaam when he makes an error in the prayer. And with Allaah is the facilitation to do what is right.
May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.

Imaam Maalik ibn Anas (rahimahullaah) said:

"Truly I am only a mortal: I make mistakes (sometimes) and I am correct (sometimes). Therefore, look into my opinions: all that agrees with the Book and the Sunnah, accept it; and all that does not agree with the Book and the Sunnah, ignore it."

Shaykh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said, may Allah have mercy in him:

"إذا وجد العبد تقصيراً في حق القرابة والأهل والأولاد والجيران والإخوان، فعليه بالدعاء لهم والاستغفار".

If the slave finds shortcomings with regards to his relatives and family and children and neighbors and brothers, then he should make dua' for them and seek forgiveness for them".

Undesirability of Rejecting the Gift of Perfume

Tawḥīd al-Ḥākimiyyah Is an Innovation

The committee of Major Scholars wrote:

"To make al-Ḥākimiyyah a separate category from the categories of tawḥīd is an innovated action. None of the imāms we know of have ever spoken of this."
[Fatwá no. 18870, 11/6/1417H.]

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn was asked about this concept, so he said:

"This statement is a newly-invented, innovated, evil saying, making the one who uses it repugnant…and it is indeed a misguided innovation."
[Liqaa`ul Maftooh (no. 150) 20th Shawwāl 1417H.]

He also said:

"Verily the one who calls to that is an innovator. Indeed, this is an innovated categorization, emanating from an ignoramus who does not understand anything from the matters of Creed and Religion."

🚫Exchanging Charity For Du’aa Or Praise 💰

Shaykh al-Islaam ibn Taymiyyah said concerning the Speech of Allaah, The Exalted:

{We feed you only for the countenance of Allaah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude [Soorah al-Insaan (76): 9]}

– *Whoever seeks from the poor ones supplication or praise has _excluded himself_ from this verse.*

Why Has Allāh Resembled The Dunyā To Water?


“لماذا شبّه الله – سبحانه – الدّنيا بالماء” عند قوله تعالى :
“واضرب لهم مثَلَ الحياة الدنيا كماءٍ أنزلناه من السّماء…”

قال الحكماء:

شبّه الله – سبحانه وتعالى – الدُّنيا بالماء:

1- ﻷنّ الماء ﻻ يستقرّ في موضع،
كذلك الدُّنيا ﻻ تبقى على حالٍ واحدة.

2- وﻷنّ الماء يذهب وﻻ يبقى،
فكذلك الدنيا تفنى. ولاتبقى.

3- وﻷنّ الماء ﻻ يَقدر أحدٌ أن يدخلَه وﻻ يبتلّ، وكذلك الدُّنيا ﻻ يسلم أحدٌ من فتنتها وآفتها.

4- وﻷنّ الماء إذا كان بقدرٍ كان نافعًا مُنبتًا، وإذا جاوز المقدارَ كان ضاراًّ مُهلكًا، وكذلك الدُّنيا ؛ الكفافُ منها ينفع، وفضولُها يضرّ”.

[الجامع ﻷحكام القرآن للقرطبيّ]

Imām al-Qurtubī (may Allāh have mercy upon him) stated:

Why did Allāh resemble the Dunyā to the water in His statement:

…وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ
And put forward to them the example of the life of this world, it is like the water (rain) which We send down from the sky… (Soorah Al-Kahf: 45)

The wise ones have stated: Allāh resembled the Dunyā to the water (due to the following reasons):

1. The water does not reside in one place.  Likewise, the Dunyā does not remain upon one state.

2. It is because water goes and it does not remain. Likewise, the Dunyā comes to an end and it does not remain.

3. It is because no one has the ability to enter into it and not get wet. Likewise, in regards to the Dunyā, no one is safe from the trials and tribulations of it and its harm.

4. It is because the water, if it is at a (safe) measure, it is a beneficial means of cultivation. And when it goes beyond the (safe) measures, it is a destructive harm. Likewise, in regards to the Dunyā, that which is sufficient from it is beneficial; and that which is beyond the need is a harm.

It is reported that Khālid bin Ma'dan (رحمه الله) said:

❝Whoever seeks praise by going against the truth, Allāh will throw it back upon him as blame, and whoever faces blame in order to conform to the truth, Allāh will return it as praise for him.❞

HOW TO DEAL WITH PROVOCATIVE, ANNOYING, SARCASTIC, PATRONISING AND HARMFUL COMMENTS OF OPINIONATED AND BOSSY PERSONALITIES

Imaam As-Sadi [rahimahullaah] said:

And among the beneficial affairs is to know that the harm of the people against you- especially evil speech- does not harm you; rather it harms them, unless you preoccupy yourself by giving it importance and [thus] it dominates your emotions, then it will harm you as it harms them. Indeed, it will not harm you in anyway if you pay no attention to it.

The Wind Is Not Cursed

From Abu Hurairah that the Prophet [ﷺ] said:

«الرِّيحُ مِنْ رُوحِ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ ، وَتَأْتِي بِالْعَذَابِ ، فَلَا تَسُبُّوهَا ، سَلُوا اللَّهَ خَيْرَهَا ، وَاسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا.»

❝The Wind is from the mercy of Allaah for His worshippers, sometimes it comes with mercy and sometimes it comes with punishment. So if you see it do not curse it, ask Allaah for the good of it and seek refuge with Allaah from its evil.❞

[Collected In Silsilah Saheehah, (No.  2756) | Kalimah Tayyibah, (Page: 135) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

From Ubay bin Ka’ab [رضي الله عنه] said that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

«لَا تَسُبُّوا الرِّيحَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فَقُولُوا : اللَّهُمَّ إنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَخَيْرِ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرِ مَا أُمِرَتْ بِهِ ، وَنَعُوذُ بِك مِنْ شَرِّ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُمِرَتْ بِهِ.»

❝Do not curse the wind, if you see something that you dislike of the wind then say: ‘O Allaah indeed we ask of You for the good from this wind and the good which is in it and the good with which You have commanded it with. We seek refuge with You from the evil from this wind and the evil which is in it and the evil with which You have commanded it with.❞

[Collected By Tirmidhi | He Said It Is Hasan Saheeh | Albaani Authenticated It In Silsilah Saheehah, (No. 2756) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

From Ibn Abbas [رضي الله عنه] that a man cursed the wind in front of the Prophet [ﷺ] so the Prophet [ﷺ] said:

«لاَ تَلْعَنِ الرِّيحَ فَإِنَّهَا مَأْمُورَةٌ، وَإِنَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ شَيْئًا لَيْسَ لَهُ بِأَهْلٍ رَجَعَتِ اللَّعْنَةُ عَلَيْهِ»

❝Do not curse the wind since indeed it is commanded and indeed if anyone curses something which does not deserve to be cursed then that curse comes back on himself.❞

[Collected By Tirmidhi | Authenticated By Albaani In Saheehah, (No. 528) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

Imam ash-Shafi’aee said:

«لا ينبغي شتم الريح فإنها خلق مطيع لله وجند من جنوده يجعلها الله رحمة إذا شاء ونقمة إذا شاء.»

❝It is not befitting to curse the wind since it is a creation which obeys Allaah and a soldier from His soldiers, Allaah places it as mercy if He wills and punishment if He wills.❞

[Majmoo Sharh al-Muhdab, (5/92) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
❝This negation of cursing the wind is a prohibition. This is because cursing the wind is cursing the One who created it and sent it. Rain fall is not ascribed to the winds or to the weather or the atmosphere, rather these matters of control of the wind are ascribed to Allaah Alone.❞

[Majmoo Fatawa Wa Rasail Ibn Uthaymeen, (10/276) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya].
