Ḥukm (ie: Ruling) on Wearing al-Banṭalūn (ie: Trousers or Pants) for Women
حكم لبس "البنطلون" للمرأة

Q: “When is wearing al-banṭalūn forbidden for women?”
االسؤال: متى يُمنع لباس "البنطلون" للمرأة؟

(al-Shaykh): (As for) al-banṭalūn, do not wear it, (it is) a wear that resembles that of al-kuffār (ie: the disbelievers).
الجواب: "البنطلون" لا تَلْبَسه، لباس يشبه الكفار،

(Do) not (wear) banṭalūn and not others like it.
لا بنطلون ولا غيره،

It is not for a woman to imitate al-kuffār nor al-rijāl (ie: the men),
ليس للمرأة أن تتشبَّه بالكفار ولا بالرجال،

and it is not for a rajul (ie: man) to imitate al-nisāʾ (ie: the women) or al-kuffār.
وليس للرجل أن يتشبَّه بالنساء ولا بالكفار.

Q: “What if the woman wears a skirt over al-banṭalūn?”
س: وإذا وضعت المرأة فوق البنطلون تنورة؟

al-Shaykh: al-maqṣūd (ie: the intent is): Do not imitate al-kuffār nor al-rijāl.
الشيخ: المقصود: لا تتشبَّه بالكفار ولا بالرجال،

If the wear has a resemblance with the clothing of her society, then lā bās (ie: there is no harm in it if it is from the clothing of the society).
إذا كان لِباس ما فيه تشبُّه مِنْ لِبْس جماعتها لا بأس،

But if it is from the clothing of her society (ie: for the women),
إذا كان لِباس مِن لِبْس الجماعة،

And if it is from the clothing (specifically that can be used to identify) al-kuffār, no.
أما مِنْ لِبْس الكفار لا

Or (specifically) the clothing of al-rijāl, (then) no.
أو لِبْس الرجال لا.

Q: “It is usually (worn) beneath al-malābis (ie: clothes).”
س: يكون من تحت الملابس؟

al-Shaykh: “Beneath or above;
الشيخ: تحت أو فوق؛

if it is from the clothing of al-kuffār, (then) no.”
إذا كان مِن لِبْس الكفار لا.

Q: “Are you prohibiting wearing of banṭalūn by women?”
س: نهيتم عن لِبْس البنطلون للمرأة؟

al-Shaykh: “If it is something (that involves) imitating al-rijāl or al-kuffār.
الشيخ: إذا كان الشيء يُشْبِه الرجال أو الكفار،

Even if it is with the spouse (it is prohibited).”
ولو عند الزوج.

al-Khalīl said: Three things makes one forget al-maṣāʿib (ie: calamities):
وقال الخليل: ثلاثة ينسين المصائب:

The passing of al-layālī (ie: the nights, meaning: time),
مرّ الليالي،

A beautiful woman,
والمرأة الحسناء،

And conversations with al-rijāl (ie: wise men who will give sound advice on patience).
ومحادثة الرجال.

The noble Shaykh may Allah the Exalted have mercy on him was asked: “If a woman's period ends before al-Fajr and she does ġusl after, what is al-ḥukm (ie: the ruling)?”
سئل فضيلة الشيخ - رحمه الله تعالى -: إذا طهرت الحائض قبل الفجر واغتسلت بعد فما الحكم؟

He answered: Her fast is valid if she was certain that her period had ended before al-Fajr (ie: dawn) came.
فأجاب فضيلته بقوله: إن صومها صحيح إذا تيقنت الطهر قبل طلوع الفجر،

What matters is that the woman is certain that she has become pure (ie: that her period has ended).
المهم أن المرأة تتيقن أنها طهرت؛

Because some women think that they have become pure when they have not.
لأن بعض النساء تظن أنها طهرت وهي لم تطهر،

Hence the women used to bring their cotton pads to ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and ask them whether the sign of purity was there, and she would say to them: “Do not be hasty until you see the white discharge.”
ولهذا كانت النساء يأتين بالقطن لعائشة رضي الله عنها فيرينها إياه علامة على الطهر، فتقول لهن: لا تعجلن حتى ترين القصة البيضاء.

Women have to wait until they are certain that the menses has ended.
فالمرأة عليها أن تتأنى حتى تتيقن أنها طهرت،

If a woman has become pure, then she should form the intention to fast even if she does not do ġusl until after al-Fajr comes.
فإذا طهرت فإنها تنوي الصوم وإن لم تغتسل إلا بعد طلوع الفجر،

But she should also pay attention to the prayer and hasten to do ġusl so that she can pray Fajr on time.
ولكن عليها أيضاً أن تراعي الصلاة فتبادر بالاغتسال لتصلي صلاة الفجر في وقتها

al-Imām Aḥmad recorded that ʿAbd Allah b. Zubayr said: Qutaylah came visiting her daughter, Asmāʾ b. Abī Bakr, with some gifts, such as Dibab, cheese and clarified (cooking) butter, and she was an idolatress at that time.
وَقَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَدِمَتْ قُتَيْلَةُ عَلَى ابْنَتِهَا أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بِهَدَايَا صِنَابٌ وَأَقِطٌ وَسَمْنٌ وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ،

Asmāʾ refused to accept her mother's gifts and did not let her enter her house.
فَأَبَتْ أَسْمَاءُ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ هَدِيَّتَهَا وَأَنْ تُدْخِلَهَا بَيْتَهَا.

ʿĀʿishah asked the Prophet ﷺ about his verdict.
فَسَأَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،

Allah sent down the āyah, {Allah does not forbid you with those who fought not against you on account of religion} [60:8] until the end of the āyah.
فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: لَا يَنْهاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ.

He (ﷺ) then ordered Asmāʾ to accept her mother’s gifts and to let her enter her house.
فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَقْبَلَ هَدِيَّتَهَا وَأَنْ تُدْخِلَهَا بَيْتَهَا.

“If a woman gets her menses for eight days,
إذا كانت المرأة تحيض ثمانية أيام

then she does ġusl on the eighth day,
فتغتسل في اليوم الثامن

then she gets a few light drops of blood on the same day,
ومن ثَمَّ تنزل عليها قطرات دم خفيفة في ذلك اليوم

does she have to do ġusl again?
فهل لها أن تغتسل

Please note that she may do ġusl twice,
مع العلم أنها قد تغتسل مرتين

and sometimes she does not do ġusl [a second time];
وأحياناً تترك الغسل

is she sinning?
فهل تأثم

What should she do?”
وماذا تفعل؟

He may Allah the Exalted have mercy on him answered: “If she is certain that the bleeding has not stopped completely, then she should wait until it stops completely, then do ġusl. But if she is certain that it has stopped completely, then she should do ġusl at the time when it stops completely, then if it so happens after that that she sees one or two drops of blood, that does not matter.”
فأجاب رحمه الله تعالى: إذا كانت تعرف أن الدم لم ينقطع انقطاعاً تاماً فلتنتظر حتى ينقطع انقطاعاً تاماً ثم تغتسل وأما إذا عرفت أنه انقطع انقطاعاً تاماً فإنها تغتسل من حين انقطاعه ثم إن حصل بعد ذلك نقطة أو نقطتان فإن ذلك لا يضر.

It was narrated from Sahl b. Saʿd (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met with the mushrikīn and they fought.
أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ، ح وَأَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَا: ثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْتَقَى هُوَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ فَاقْتَتَلُوا،

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went back to his camp and the others went back to their camp, there was among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a man who killed anyone (of the enemy) who got in his way.
فَلَمَّا مَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِ وَمَالَ الْآخَرُونَ إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِمْ وَفِي أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ لَا يَدَعُ لَهُمْ شَاذَّةً وَلَا فَاذَّةً إِلَّا أَتْبَعَهَا يَضْرِبُهَا بِسَيْفِهِ،

They said: “No one has done better today than so-and-so.”
فَقَالُوا: مَا أَجْزَأَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ كَمَا أَجْزَأَ فُلَانٌ،

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Rather he is one of the people of Hell.”
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ»،

A man said: “I am going to follow him.”
فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: أَنَا صَاحِبُهُ أَبَدًا،

So he went out with him; every time that man stopped, he stopped with him,
قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ كُلَّمَا وَقَفَ وَقَفَ مَعَهُ

and when he hastened, he hastened with him.
فَإِذَا أَسْرَعَ أَسْرَعَ مَعَهُ،

He said: The man was badly wounded, so he sought to hasten his death.
قَالَ: فَجُرِحَ الرَّجُلُ جُرْحًا شَدِيدًا فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ،

He put the handle of his sword on the ground and its tip in the middle of his chest,
فَوَضَعَ نَصْلَ سَيْفِهِ بِالْأَرْضِ وَذُبَابَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ،

then he leaned (on his sword) and killed himself.
ثُمَّ تَحَامَلَ عَلَى سَيْفِهِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ،

The man (who followed him) went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah.”
فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ،

He said: “Why is that?”
قَالَ: «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟»،

He said: “The man who you said was one of the people of Hell and the people were astounded by that. I said, I will find out about him for you. So I followed him until he was badly wounded, then he sought to hasten his death. He put the handle of his sword on the ground and its tip in the middle of his chest, then he leaned on it and killed himself.”
قَالَ: الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَأَعْظَمَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ أَنَا لَكُمْ بِهِ، فَخَرَجْتُ فِي طَلَبِهِ حَتَّى جُرِحَ جُرْحًا شَدِيدًا فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَوَضَعَ نَصْلَ سَيْفِهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَذُبَابَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ وَتَحَامَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ،

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A man may do the deeds of [the people of] Paradise,
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

or so it seems to the people,
فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ

although he is one of the people of Hell,
وَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ،

and a man may do the deeds of [the people of] Hell,
وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ

or so it seems to the people,
فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ

although he is one of the people of Paradise.”

“Ahlus Sunnah are unanimous on the obligation to refrain from any defamatory remarks about any of the Saḥābah on account of what transpired between them even if he knows which of the two parties was on the right position; since they did not fight those wars…
As for al-Ijtihād: in al-luġah (ie: the Arabic language), it means to exert oneself to the utmost in order to accomplish a task of laborious nature.
أَمَّا (الِاجْتِهَادُ): فَهُوَ فِي اللُّغَةِ عِبَارَةٌ عَنِ اسْتِفْرَاغِ الْوُسْعِ فِي تَحْقِيقِ أَمْرٍ مِنَ الْأُمُورِ مُسْتَلْزِمٍ لِلْكُلْفَةِ وَالْمَشَقَّةِ،

(Question): “The rajul (ie: man) who marries a virgin woman and then discovers that she is not (actually a virgin), should he hide this and what should he do?”
إذا تزوج رجل على امرأة بكر ثم لم يجدها كذلك هل يسترها أم ماذا يفعل؟

This is a very good question, very important (my brothers).
هذا سؤال حسن ومهم جداً

For it may be that people are following a Jāhilī (ie: pre-Islāmic) way in this.
لأن الناس ربما يسلكون في هذا المسلك الجاهلي،

It should be known that al-ʿulamāʾ (ie: the scholars) have cited asbāb (ie: causes), as well as doctors, causes of deterioration of the hymen.
فينبغي أن يعلم أن العلماء ذكروا أسباباً وحتى الأطباء أنفسهم ذكروا أسباباً لإزالة البكارة،

It could be from jumping, or being stepped on,
فربما تثب البنت وتزول بكارتها، وربما تركض في ظهرها فتزول بكارتها،

or heavy periods,
وربما كثرة العادة الشهرية،

there are many causes.
وهكذا لها أسباب كثيرة،

It may have been while playing when she was a child.
وربما تقع في ألاعيب وهي صغيرة غير مكلفة مع أولاد.

The man who marries a virgin woman and then does not find her a virgin faces several situations:
فالشخص إذا تزوج بامرأة وهي بكر ثم لم يجدها بكراً فهو بين أمور

If he is knowledgeable and can bear it, and find excuses for her, then he does.
ينبغي إن كان فقيهاً ويستطيع أن يضبط نفسه ويلتمس لها المعاذير فذاك

Otherwise, it is wājib (ie: obligatory) for him to cover it (ie: not expose to the people she is not a virgin).
وإلا فالواجب عليه أن يسترها.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever covers (the defects of) a Muslim, Allah will cover him.”
والنبي - صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم - يقول: " ومن ستر مسلماً ستره الله "،

He is forbidden! He is forbidden to propagate this among people that she is no longer a virgin.
وحرام عليه حرامٌ عليه أن يشيع بين الناس أنها قد أزيلت بكارتها؛

Because it can come from something other than al-zinā (ie: fornication).
لأن إزالة البكارة يجوز أن تكون لسبب آخر غير الزنا،

And she might have been raped, and other causes that you (do not) know of.
ويجوز أنها مكرهة إلى غير ذلك من الأسباب التي تعلمونها.

Some hold that masāʿil (ie: issues) in which there are khilāf (ie: differences of opinion) do not merit al-inkār (ie: criticism and condemnation).
وَقَوْلُهُمْ: " إنَّ مَسَائِلَ الْخِلَافِ لَا إنْكَارَ فِيهَا "

laysa bi-ṣaḥīḥ (ie: this is incorrect).
لَيْسَ بِصَحِيحٍ؛

For al-inkār is directed either at speech and fatwá, or at actions.
فَإِنَّ الْإِنْكَارَ إمَّا أَنْ يَتَوَجَّهَ إلَى الْقَوْلِ وَالْفَتْوَى أَوْ الْعَمَلِ،

As for the former, whenever it contradicts the Sunnah or widespread consensus, the scholars are unanimous that it is to be condemned.
أَمَّا الْأَوَّلُ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْقَوْلُ يُخَالِفُ سُنَّةً أَوْ إجْمَاعًا شَائِعًا وَجَبَ إنْكَارُهُ اتِّفَاقًا،

And if it is not so, then clarifying its tenuousness and incompatibility with the sharīʿah proofs is, nevertheless, a form of condemnation.
وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ كَذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ بَيَانَ ضَعْفِهِ وَمُخَالَفَتِهِ لِلدَّلِيلِ إنْكَارُ مِثْلِهِ،

As for actions, if they be in conflict with the Sunnah, or consensus (of the scholars), then condemnation of them is imperative, to a degree befitting the error.
وَأَمَّا الْعَمَلُ فَإِذَا كَانَ عَلَى خِلَافِ سُنَّةٍ أَوْ إجْمَاعٍ وَجَبَ إنْكَارُهُ بِحَسَبِ دَرَجَاتِ الْإِنْكَارِ،

So how can a faqīh say that issues in which there are differences of opinion are not open to criticism or condemnation,
وَكَيْفَ يَقُولُ فَقِيهٌ لَا إنْكَارَ فِي الْمَسَائِلِ الْمُخْتَلَفِ فِيهَا

when al-fuqahāʾ (ie: scholars) of all sects are of the unequivocal opinion that any judges' ruling that disagrees with the Book and Sunnah is to be rescinded,
وَالْفُقَهَاءُ مِنْ سَائِرِ الطَّوَائِفِ قَدْ صَرَّحُوا بِنَقْضِ حُكْمِ الْحَاكِمِ إذَا خَالَفَ كِتَابًا أَوْ سُنَّةً

even if some ʿulamāʾ (ie: scholars) happen to be in agreement with it?
وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ وَافَقَ فِيهِ بَعْضُ الْعُلَمَاءِ؟

So we conclude with the words of al-Imām al-Ḏahabī in Siyar al-Nubalāʾ [5/288/1]: “His (ie: Abū Ḥanīfah) being an Imām in fiqh and its fine points is accepted and there is no doubt in this.” ولذلك ختم الحافظ الذهبي ترجمة الإمام في " سير النبلاء " (5/288 /…
(al-Ḏahabī said): “If a major Imām is mostly correct
(ثم إن الكبير من أئمة العلم إذا كثر صوابه،

and is known for seeking the truth,
وعلم تحريه للحق،

and he has deep knowledge
واتسع علمه،

and is known to be intelligent,
وظهر ذكاؤه،

righteous, pious and keen to follow the Sunnah,
وعرف صلاحه وورعه واتباعه

He will be forgiven for his mistakes,
يغفر له زللة،

and we should not regard him as misguided or shun him and forget about his good points.
ولا نضلله ونطرحه وننسى محاسنه،

Yes, but we should not follow him in his bidaʿ (ie: innovations) and mistakes,
نعم: لا نقتدي به في بدعته وخطئه

and we hope that he will repent from them.”
ونرجو له التوبة من ذلك) اهـ.

al-mujtahid (ie: the scholar who is able to deduce the rulings directly from the texts) must follow sharīʿah proofs and this type of deed (ie: associating partners with Allah) is totally unwarranted by the sharīʿah.
لِأَنَّ الْمُجْتَهِدَ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَتَّبِعَ دَلِيلًا شَرْعِيًّا وَهَذِهِ لَا يَكُونُ عَلَيْهَا دَلِيلٌ شَرْعِيٌّ

Some people however, may do this in emulation of the ijtihād of others.
لَكِنْ قَدْ يَفْعَلُهَا بِاجْتِهَادِ مِثْلِهِ:

(meaning) al-taqlīd (ie: blindly-following of) those who did it from al-Shuyūkh wa ʿl-ʿulamāʾ (ie: the scholars).
وَهُوَ تَقْلِيدُهُ لِمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ الشُّيُوخِ وَالْعُلَمَاءِ

(Those scholars) did so because they assumed it to be beneficial,
وَاَلَّذِينَ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ قَدْ فَعَلُوهُ لِأَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهُ يَنْفَعُ؛

or due to fabricated ḥadīth.
أَوْ لِحَدِيثِ كَذِبٍ سَمِعُوهُ.

If the proof of prohibition was not established upon them, they are not to be punished.
فَهَؤُلَاءِ إذَا لَمْ تَقُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ الْحُجَّةُ بِالنَّهْيِ لَا يُعَذَّبُونَ

As for their reward, it may be that their reward is that they are more preferred than others of their type.
وَأَمَّا الثَّوَابُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ يَكُونُ ثَوَابُهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَرْجَحُ مِنْ أَهْلِ جِنْسِهِمْ

But as for their being rewarded for drawing closer to Allah by it (ie: by the ijtihād), that is implausible for these types of deeds.
وَأَمَّا الثَّوَابُ بِالتَّقَرُّبِ إلَى اللَّهِ فَلَا يَكُونُ بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ الْأَعْمَالِ.

Zayd b. Aslam reported that ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man said in a sitting during the expedition of Tabūk:
حدثني يونس قال، أخبرنا ابن وهب قال، حدثني هشام بن سعد، عن زيد بن أسلم، عن عبد الله بن عمر قال: قال رجل في غزوة تبوك في مجلس:

“I have not seen the likes of these reciters of ours (ie: from the Companions),
ما رأينا مثل قرائنا هؤلاء،

who have the fattest bellies,
أرغبَ بطونًا،

most lying tongues,
ولا أكذبَ ألسنًا،

and are the most cowardly in confrontation (of the enemy).”
ولا أجبن عند اللقاء!

A man from al-majlis (ie: the sitting) said: “You have lied. You are but a munāfiq (ie: hypocrite). I will tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about you.”
فقال رجل في المجلس: كذبتَ، ولكنك منافق! لأخبرن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم،

So that reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
فبلغ ذلك النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

And the Qurʾān descended (ie: a verse was revealed).“
ونزل القرآن.

ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar said: And I saw him clinging on to the saddle of the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ camel whilst saying, “O Messenger of Allah, we were just making idle talk and joking.”
قال عبد الله بن عمر: فأنا رأيته متعلقًا بحَقَب ناقة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم تَنْكُبه الحجارة، وهو يقول: "يا رسول الله، إنما كنا نخوض ونلعب! "،

And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying: {Was it at Allah, and His Ayāt and His Messenger that you were mocking? Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after having believed} [9:65-66]
ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: (أبالله وآياته ورسوله كنتم تستهزؤن لا تعتذروا قد كفرتم بعد إيمانكم).

(Question): “The German government gives a specific amount of money to the one who has children
تعطي الدولة الألمانية مبلغ معين لمن كان له أولاد

or a pregnant woman until she gives birth as a form of human rights.
وللمرأة الحاملة حتى تضع حملها من باب الحقوق الإنسانية

Is this action legislated and is it allowed to take this?”
فهل هذا العمل مشروع وهل يجوز الأخذ منها؟

Answer: There is no harm in taking this.
لا بأس بالأخذ منها،

As for it being legislated, then the Prophet ﷺ did not do this; however, he did not have it.
وكونه مشروعا فالنبي - صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم - كان لا يفعل هذا لكنه كان لا يملك،

So there is no harm in this, for you to take it.
فلا بأس بهذا أن تأخذه،

There is nothing upon you in shāʾ Allah taʿālá.
ولا شئ عليك فيه إن شاء الله تعالى.

And now almost every ʿālim (ie: scholar) remaining has been defamed.
والآن ما بقي في الساحة عالم –تقريباً- إلا طعن به وفيه!

And this is the way of al-Ikhwān (al-Muslimūn) and the way of Ahl al-Bidaʿ (ie: the people of innovation).
وهذه –طبعاً- هي طريقة الإخوان وطريقة أهل البدع؛

From the weapons of Ahl al-Bidaʿ is that they start by toppling al-ʿulamāʾ (ie: the scholars).
فإن أهل البدع من أسلحتهم أن يبدأوا بإسقاط العلماء،

Rather, this is the ṭarīqah Yahūdīyyah Māsūnīyyah (ie: Jewish Masonic Way);
بل هي طريقة يهودية، ماسونية:

If you want to eliminate an ideology, then bring down its ʿulamāʾ or its personalities!!
إذا أردت إسقاط فكرة فأسقط علماءها أو شخصياتها!!

Keep away from this evil legacy and respect al-ʿulamāʾ.
فابتعدوا عن هذا الميراث الرديء، واحترموا العلماء.

al-Qādī Abū Ḥāmid Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Daylawī said:
قَالَ الخَطِيْبُ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَامِدٍ الدَّلوِيُّ، قَالَ:

“When Abū ʿAbd Allah Ibn Baṭṭah returned from travelling he stayed in his house for forty years.
لَمَّا رَجَعَ ابْنُ بَطَّةَ مِن الرِّحْلَةِ لاَزمَ بيتَهُ أَرْبَعينَ سَنَةً،

So he was not seen even one day in al-sūq (ie: the marketplace).
لَمْ يُرَ فِي سُوقٍ

And he was not seen eating, except on the day of ʿĪd (ie: al-Aḍḥá and al-Fīṭr).
وَلاَ رُؤِيَ مُفْطِراً إِلاَّ فِي عِيدٍ،

He would command al-maʿrūf (ie: the good a lot),
وَكَانَ أَمَّاراً بِالمَعْرُوفِ،

and no information about munkar (ie: an evil) would reach him, except that he would change it.”
لَمْ يبلغْهُ خبرٌ منكرٌ إِلاَّ غَيَّرَهُ.

al-Ḥanābilah (at that time) were the partisans of Abū Bakr b. Abī Dāwūd.
وَكَانَتِ الحَنَابِلَةُ حزبَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بنِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ،

There was dispute between him and Ibn Jarīr (al-Ṭabarī), which caused them to riot and intend harm against (Ibn Jarīr), restricting him to his home.
فكَثُرُوا وَشَغَّبُوا عَلَى ابْنِ جَرِيْرٍ، وَنَاله أَذَىً، وَلَزِمَ بيتَه،

And we seek refuge in Allah from al-hawá (ie: desires and inclinations).
نَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الهوَى.
