Sheikh Ahmad Kutty
20 February, 2019

Dear Brothers/Sisters,

 

Thank you very much for joining us in this Live Fatwa session. We would like also to thank our guest, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, for answering the questions directed to him. You will find the answers of your questions below.

I have a question about surah 58. From this article: https://www.aboutislam.net/reading-islam/understanding-islam/allah-reveals-an-entire-chapter-because-of-this-woman/?utm_campaign=organic_fb_promotion&utm_medium=social&utm_source=Facebook&utm_content&utm_term i understand that at these times lived bad tempered man who stated to his wife in state of anger " You are to me like my mother's back", with means like this woman is no longer desirable to him and resulted her to stage somewhere between marriage and divorce. On the next day, man's anger had cooled down and he wanted to take his wife back. After that, Allah revealed surah 58, where He says exactly what a man must do to nullify those words. Now, i am not asking about legal divorce in Islam, i do know about it. Also, i dont ask about that hadith that is talking about how Allah said do not leave your women hanging I.e. neither married nor divorced. What my question is, is about such an insult nowardays. Arab men tend to insult their wifes by similar statement "you are to me like my mother" or etc, with same means that wife is not desirable and more like a mother. My question is,are these situatuions equal to each others? Are those men, who are saying this to their wifes nowardays on same state where they need to nullify their words before they have right to go back to their wifes? And if not, then please explain me.



Words and statements that people make should be taken according to their intentions and should also be judged by the common usage which may vary according to contexts. So, if as you allege some people use such words without any intention but just as a figure of speech, it should be taken in that spirit. That is what we learn from the following verse:

 

God will not take you to task for oaths which you may have uttered without thought, but will take you to task [only] for what your hearts have conceived [in earnest]: for God is much-forgiving, forbearing. (Al-Baqarah 2: 225)

 

Based on this, if they use such expressions without intention to leave apart from their wives, it should not be taken as Zhihar mentioned in the verse you have cited.

Having said this, I would also rush to add: such words and expressions are derogatory for women; as such, every conscientious Muslim must shun them. We ought to purge our hearts, minds, and tongues clean of such filthy talks.

 

They are symptoms of a sick society that is conditioned by misogyny and degrading womanhood. The Prophet said, “No one but an honorable man would honor women; no one but a dishonorable man would dishonor women.”

 

How could we stoop to such a level of degrading womanhood when they are our mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters; they are wombs that bore us!

 

I pray to Allah to purge our hearts of all taints of paganism and misogyny and embellish our hearts with faith and pure thoughts.

Sir how I can manage my businesses I am running a wholesale shop of kiryana items so two types of customers comes one shopkeeper and and one for home how would I manage my price thanku sir



You are not allowed to fix two types of prices based merely on the type of customers you have: one a businessman and another an ordinary consumer; however, you are allowed to make a distinction between wholesale and retail prices.

 

For instance, you can say the retail price of a pen is ten dollars, while wholesale price if someone buys two hundred or more could be 10% percent and so forth.

My family is extremely depressed about the loss of my sibling.My father expired when we were too young and I had a younger sister who read namaz quran and observed fasting in Ramadhan.We got her engaged to a very good Muslim Guy which even she had accepted to get married, she finished her graduation and soon after which we got her engaged and wedding was supposed to happen the next year, since she was fond of going to job she got a job and was going to job since 4 months.She started fighting at home that she will not marry her Fiancee as he was dark this that , we consoled her , explained her and asked her to stop going to job so that she can take time to think about her wedding.Few days ago when a oral controversy happened about her wedding she locked up the room called up police and filed a complaint against my mom who brought her up for 22 years without our father being alive (my mom has struggled through thick and thin to bring us up) and police filed a complaint on us and her non muslim friend had come to police station to pick her and she went off with him.He was her colleague from a non muslim family.I have a brother who earns bread for us and he stays in a different country, we’re unable to see our mom and entire family crying all day with extreme depression and my sister is under police protection even if we call her she would complain to the police that we’re torturing herWhat should we do here ? Should we leave it on allah or should we proceed to hit that guy (but he can torture our family) and get our sister back who is not at all willing to come back?Request your reply soon , May Allah guide us all and bring peace to our families-Aameen



I pray to Allah to guide your sister and open heart to see the truth and return to the fold of Islam and the straight path.

 

You and your family should turn to Allah in this time of great trial you are facing. Only Allah can open the hearts of people; so pray unceasingly for your sister to come back.

 

You may offer these supplications as often as you wish:

Allaahumma ihdi qalbahaa wa ahsin farjahaa

 

Allaahumaa ishrah sadrahaa li al-islam wa zayyinhaa bi zeenathi al-eemaan

 

Allaahumma ruddhaa ilaa deenika raddan jameelan

 

Allaahumaa yaa muqalliba al-quloobi thabbith quloobanaa ala al-haqqi

 

Allaahumma ihdinaa wa ihdi binaa wa ij’alnaa sababan liman ihthada

 

(O Allah, guide her heart to the truth and help her to remain chaste.

 

O Allah, open her heart to recognize the truth of Islam and embellish it with beautify of faith.

 

O Allah, we ask of You to return her gently to the fold of Islam.

 

O Allah, You are the twister and turner of hearts; so, make our hearts steadfast on the truth;

 

O Allah, Guide us to the truth and guide others through us, and make us all instruments of guidance)

 

Having said this, I would also like to point out that you were wrong in insisting that she marries a person she does not like. In Islam, no one including parents has the right to force their children to marry someone they don’t want to. Everyone has the right for himself or herself as long as the person is of compatible faith and character.

I have a question on my mind that, what are the duas to be recited after fardh salah? Can I ask forgiveness after every salah?And is it required to make dua or ask forgiveness after sunnah salah? Or is it bidah to do so? Or the duas can be of my own ? Is it necessary to ask forgiveness first after salah then make dua? I'm very much confused about this things. Some people says by doing so and so becomes bidah and all. Since years I have been doing this. Does that means that I was doing bidah? I'm very much confused now whether my salah will be accepted or not? I'm waiting for your reply. Thank you. Jazakallahu khair.



You are allowed to make Istighfaar as often as you can without any inhibition except at the expense of the prescribed supplications in Salah.

 

When it comes to Prayers, we may do well to follow the manner and method of the Prophet as closely as possible unless we have evidence indicating latitude or flexibility.

 

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Pray as you saw me praying.”  Thawban, one of the close companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “It was the habit of the Prophet to make Istigfaar  ( by saying Astaghfirullah)  three times upon finishing the Prayer: he would then add the following words:

Ads by Muslim Ad Network

 

 

Allaahumma antha al-ssalaam wa minka al-ssalaam tabaaraktha yaa dhal jalaali wa al-ikraam

(O Allah, You are (the source of) Peace, and the peace is a gift from you; You are the exalted, O the possessor of mighty and glory).

 

Therefore, we should do the same after performing the obligatory prayers.

 

Now the question arises: are we allowed to do the same after voluntary prayers? According to the majority of scholars, it is not prescribed; however, there is no reason to forbid it, if a person were to do so; it cannot be condemned or disapproved.

 

We have ample evidence in the sources to show it is desirable for us to do so after every act of worship or good deed we perform:

 

Allah says,

And when you pour forth Arafat,  remember God at the holy place, and remember Him as He has guided you after you had been astray; and pour forth together with the people who pour forth,  and ask forgiveness of God for your sins: for, verily, God is Forgiving, Merciful.” (Al-baqarah 2:198-199)

 

Istighfaar after performing acts of worship is intended to ensure that our good deeds are acceptable; for as humans no matter how focused we are we may be deficient in so many ways that we are not unaware of. That is why even the great prophets, Ibrahim and Ismael, turned to God praying to Him for acceptance and forgiveness upon completing the rebuilding of the Kabah.

 

Therefore, Istighfaar, in general, is prescribed after prayers as well as all other acts of worship such as fasting, zakah, and Hajj and any other good works we may do.

 

Furthermore, the Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, “Whoever clings to Istighfaar as a habit, Allah will appoint for him or her a way out of all troubles and hardships and provide sustenance for them in ways they would never be able to imagine.”

 

So, never mind what people say. You are allowed to make Istighfaar as a habit except at the expense of specific supplications that are prescribed on special occasions or circumstances.

After i got married,i wanted my husband that to live with you 2 years without having a baby.after all i need to be the mother of first child.And also wanted to use condom for sexual pleasure. But he doesn't agree with all my statement.i only wanted for a short break,not a for life long.I checked islamic rules to find out if i was right on my side.Then,no fault found.how can my husband agree to do this?



It would be best if you decided on such matters consensually; you cannot say I want this way or he cannot say: I insist on this way. Instead, you should discuss and arrive at a decision that is satisfactory to both of you.

 

Spouses are partners; both of you have equal rights in due proportion. No one should feel compromised or a loser. It should be the case of a win-win situation so that neither one should feel to be a loser.

 

If before starting the marriage you are not able to agree on such matters, then it does not bode well for your future relationship.

supernatural power" and I told her: "but God can give any time He wishes to anyone".I always dreamt if having in my possession the strong power of Telekinesis. I used to recite this supplication:"O Allah! If I have graduated the high school in first session, please grant me the power of Telekinesis and enable me to control water and lava as Ixwant, because I dreamt of seeing myself cutting a half the water while I'm in bath tube and I make bath, because it's pretty cool and I would like to enjoy myself by having this kind of power after my graduation, and Make the power of Telekinesis be strong enough that I can move a car and tear apart easily with my own hands, I really dreamt of this, and I want also to show to my mother that she is wrong, I want to show her that You can Convert something from impossible to possible, and also I dreamt of doing magic show with Telekinesis just to draw the attention of public, because I like to pretend as if I'm magician so that I can impress my friends what kind if ability I have, because Icwished to see how would they react to a real life Telekinesis without no magic or trickery but a natural one. So, can You please grant me that power after I graduate high school? I have this strong desire of having such power and I cannot ask anyone but only You"So, it is ok Islamically to recite this supplication I have showed you? What Quran says about it? Because, I don't want to sin or do something haram while I recite it.



Your mother is right in telling you not to pray for such things.

 

Such thoughts are due to whisperings of Satan who wants to distract you from performing your essential duties in life.

 

You may do well to remember that our time in this world is too precious to be wasted away in such frivolities; if you believe in God and afterlife, you should be focusing on your essential tasks in life rather than occupying your mind with such distractions.

Allah says, “By the flight of time, man is indeed at a loss except those who have faith and do good works and enjoin truth and enjoin patience.” (Al-Asr 103: 1-3)

Imam Shafi rightly said, “If you don’t occupy your times with productive and beneficial works, Satan will make you busy with his work.”

 

So, I would urge you to repent, and ask forgiveness of Allah and focus on your priorities in your life. Remember sooner or later you will face death and then the time will be up for saving yourself from perdition.

 

I pray to Allah to bless us to be steadfast on the path of truth.

I don't know if it is stupid question or not, but I hope it is not. You showed me once a consultation prayer in which I can ask God anything about unseen stuff. The only thing I would like to see, hear and know is about what is the situation of my grandfather, and his parents in Purgatory and what will be their situation on the Day of Judgment, because I want to inform my Christian mother about their situation, and if they are blessed there, I would like to inform her so that she would feel ease and happy, and I would like to know also on what age I will die so that, this can be a good motivation so that I can hurry up on doing preparations for Hereafter, otherwise if I don't know, then I could get in a careless and ignorance state and late I would feel bad about it. You see? I simply, want to know this so that I can start fulfilling the Islamic duties in very fast way, now when I want to do certain stuff, I feel lazy, and later I would feel terrible.



There is no way for us to know precisely the fate or destiny of a person after his or her death; the only people who may receive such intimations are prophets who receive direct communications from Allah; even they are not given full knowledge of such matters.

 

So, as ordinary believers, we should not pretend to know such matters. They belong to the realm of Ghayb or matters beyond rational cognition or perceptions.

 

All that we are given to know is that those who die in a state of faith in God and prophets and God’s reckoning and have died in a state of self-surrender will enter the heaven based on the good deeds they have done in this world:

Allah says, “Whoever surrenders his will to God while doing good works, they shall have their rewards with their Lord, and they will have no reason to fear or grieve.”   (Al-Baqarah 2:112)

I have this question in mind, and I would like to know whether or not I can recite any supplication I want during the ritual prayer in my mind, because I like to recite the supplication in my mind because it is something private which non should know only God Himself.So, am I allowed in Islam to recite in my mind any supplication I want in each ritual prayer? Because, that's how I feel much comfortable. So, what Quran says about this?



The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Pray as you saw me praying.”  (Al-Dhahabi, Al-Busiri and others). So, we are obligated to perform our prayers as he prayed; we are not allowed to make up on our ways of doing it. Allah sent His messenger to be obeyed and this obedience is due primarily in all matters of religion, including all acts of worship such as prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage. In regards to such issues, we are to follow him and emulate his examples.

 

Therefore, he warned us against innovations in religious matters: “whoever innovates a new way in religion it ought to be rejected.” (Abu Dawud and others)

 

Now let me come straight to your question:

Ads by Muslim Ad Network

 

If you mean to ask you want to make your prescribed supplications without words by meditating in your mind that is not acceptable as long as you are a person who can articulate; if however, you have speech impediment then you are allowed to say it in your mind without words.

 

Having said this, I should also add two points:

 

Reading the supplications with your tongue does not in any way mean saying them aloud; it only means moving your lips in such a manner that you can hear.

 

After having uttered the essential words of the Qur’an and Tasbih and essential supplications that are prescribed in prayer, you may make any personal supplication of your choice in your mind without moving your lips; instead, you can do so in your mind.

 

Outside the prayer, you may engage in silent dhikr or supplications in your mind without uttering words.

I suffer from a few sleeping disorders, sevear depression and anxiety and joint pains, not using these as excuses but i would like to know is will i be punished?

You ought to repent of your neglect of prayer time after time; the fact that you suffer from some medical challenges does not absolve you of your duty to pray on time as long as you are in sound mind and full control of your senses and judgment.

 

It seems your problem is that you do not take the matter of prayer seriously.

 

You ought to remember that Prayer is the most important pillar of Islam and it is the first of the duties ordained by Allah on every single messenger He sent from Adam to Muhammad. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Prayer is the pivotal pillar of religion; whoever establishes it establishes the religion; whoever neglects it undermines religion.” (Ibn Hajar) Also, “whoever observes prayer diligently it would serve as a light, evidence of faith, and a means of salvation for him on the day of judgment. Whoever neglects it he will be deprived of light, evidence, and means of salvation.” (Ibn Hibban)

The fact that you keep on missing your prayers while being awake for one reason or another is a sign of sheer laziness or lack of motivation.

If you are too weak to stand and pray, you should sit down and pray.

My daughter asked for the divorce as she is unable to live with him and after five months the husband agreed to do divorce. As per the sharia law in our country, the Qadi told us that khula is difficult and so divorce is better and he insisted on it. The divorce paper rightly says that the divorce is on the request of wife and so there is no matha'...etc from her husband, but they didn't accept the mahr and after that we asked them to take back the mahr and they replied after thinking they will reply. She is student and living in a hostel. As she is at the age of 24 we are afraid of her marriage.My question is1. Can it be considered as khula?2. What is the iddah period?3. Can we seek proposals?Please answer to my questions.



If the Qadi who ruled and facilitated the divorce told you that it is talaq and not khula, then you may take it as talaq. That is in spite of the stipulation he has made which applies to khula.  We are to rule on transaction based on the intent and the words used and understood by the parties; since he was the one who facilitated it his words should be the basis for any judgment whether it was talaq or khula.

 

So it would be best if you took it as he told you: it is a divorce.

 

In the case of divorce, the iddah should be three months or three menstrual cycles:

Ads by Muslim Ad Network

 

“And the divorced women shall undergo, without remarrying, a waiting period of three monthly courses: for it is not lawful for them to conceal what God may have created in their wombs if they believe in God and the Last Day. Also, during this period their husbands are fully entitled to take them back, if they desire reconciliation; but, in accordance with justice, the rights of the wives [with regard to their husbands] are equal to the [husbands’] rights with regard to them, although men have precedence over them [in this respect]. And God is almighty, wise.” (Al-Baqarah  2: 229)

 

You can only seek proposals after the expiry of the Iddah.

 

According to the Hanafi school, the waiting period is three months; according to Shafi school, it is three menstrual cycles. If you belong to the Hanafi school, she should consider herself free to accept proposals after three months from the day the divorce was pronounced or came to effect through a legal decree or ruling.

I am 21 years old and ever since the age of 15, I was diagnosed with a disease. This disease doesn’t make me look different and even it doesn’t look like I have one. I have to go to the hospital every 2 months to get a medication. Every day inside of me, I get so tired of the medication mentally. I am a 21 year old girl with a disease. I am tired of it. I get so jealous of others my age just because of how much they are healthy. I pray every day and read Quran for this to go away. Back to my question... am I supposed to tell anyone about this disease? Specifically, the people who come to my house for marriage. This disease doesn’t affect me getting children or anything. I just have to continue taking the medication and will not know when I stop it completely. Please let me know. Thank you so much!



I empathize with you and pray to Allah to heal and cure you and make you well.

 

If you are suffering from a condition which may adversely affect or impact your marriage partner, you need to disclose it. I think your situation warrants it. In other words, you ought to tell the prospective candidate about it so that he does not feel betrayed.

 

If he accepts you after you have disclosed it, then you need not to worry. Otherwise, if you did not do so, then, according to Islamic law, that is a ground for divorce.

The fact that you are sick should not lead you to despair. It is a test from Allah; He sends tests not to destroy us but to give you a chance to help you grow spiritually. Preserving patience in the face of trials Allah sends our way is a great virtue.

 

You may do well to know that the Prophets and it is the people closest to Allah are tested more than others. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The case of a believer is always wonderful: when faced with joy or blessing, he is grateful to Allah; which is good for him. If, on the other hand, he faces a distressful situation he preserves patience, which again, turns out to be good for him.” (Muslim)

 

So, do not despair of Allah’s mercy. Don’t give up on marriage;  continue to make lots of istighfar and pray to Allah. Allah can open doors you may think to be closed. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever clings to istigfar, Allah will take him or her out of all troubles ( and bestow relief) and provide for him or her in ways they could never imagine.”

 

I would urge to be persistent in calling out and praying to the Lord: let’s hope that someone (who does not mind about your medical challenges) might knock in the door with a marriage proposal.

Is wine and alcohol are the same things and ruling in Quran is for wine or for alcohol.



Allah says, “O you who believer, certainly wine, gambling, and divining arrows are filthy and work of Satan; so shun it if you wish to prosper.” (Al-Ma’idah 5:90)

 

The word used is Khamr. The Prophet is the interpreter of the Qur’an. He defined it – as the Caliph Umar stated on the pulpit addressing the companions, as follows: “Khamr is that which causes intoxication.”  (Al-Bukhari and others)

 

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said that which intoxicates when taken in large quantity taking it in the smaller portion is also haram.” (Ahmad)

Ads by Muslim Ad Network

 

The Prophet’s definition has been the way the above verse has been understood, applied throughout the centuries from his time onwards. So the pious generations including the companions and successors and all of the succeeding generations ruled that there is no distinction between wine and alcohol for the rationale of forbidding wine was that it causes intoxication. Preservation of mental faculty is one of the five primary objectives of the sharia.

 

Therefore, any substance that impairs rational judgment is also considered forbidden. It does not matter whether it wine, alcohol, or drugs or any other substance consumed, inhaled or injected.

Two months ago there was a function in our house. My wife was at her parents home. She was invited for function but didn't attend the function. Next day i call her on phone just to know why she didn't attend the function. She told me that she was ill but I just got rid of it. I was very angry. . I told her very badly. In this discussion i told her go off. I was very angry and told her angrily that I do not have any relation with you now. Now our relationship is over. Give me my baby back and stay there. (her parents home).Please i m in confusion please give me fatwa as soon as possible



I’m sorry to hear about your predicament.

 

I must tell you that you were wrong in reacting to your wife that way.  She informed you that she could not go because of her illness; so, as a Muslim, you ought to have empathized with her. Instead of doing that as a caring husband you further insulted and hurt her by uttering those words.  Allah reminds husbands while dealing with spousal disputes that Allah is Hearing and Knowing!

 

A lesson for every husband is that Allah is watching their words and behavior towards their wives; they will have to give stand for the judgment of Allah. So, for sure you need to repent, apologize to your wife, and take her back (if you meant to divorce her).

You also ought to offer expiation for your offense; feeding ten poor persons or fasting three days. On top of that, you may do well to seek counseling for your anger issue. Anger is a vehicle that Satan uses to destroy us. By failing to control anger, you are being used by Satan who only wants to break up your family.

 

Remember the lesson that the Prophet taught us when he said, every day Satan gathers his troops, and he sends them out to tempt and lead people astray, and he bestows the highest award on those who managed to break up a marriage.

 

So, I would urge you to repent, ask forgiveness of Allah and apologize to your wife and take her back and offer the charity to the poor by way of kaffarah or redeeming expiation.

I know the signs of tuhr. But for the last two weeks (this happens usually every month) I get brown discharge then my actual period comes and I dont pray during both of those times. But this month my period hasnt started, just brown discharge. The last two days I ws hopeful because I saw blood now theres not blood just brown discharge. In the morning when I wiped I saw clear discharge, but I believe this was from arousal and not the pure kind. I wiped twice more and it was brown both times. Am I right to be missing today off? If my periods dont start, during the time theyre supposed to, and its just brown discharge should I pray? And if theres close to two weeks of brown discharge and I dont know when my periods will properly start should I be missing those days off? (while not knowing the cause behind this)



On the question of Thuhr following menses, let me first cite here one of my earlier answers:

 

“ You are free of menses only when your bleeding has completely stopped, and you see the white discharge, following your regular pattern. However, after you have seen the white discharge, if you experience pinkish or brownish discharges afterwards, you need not worry. Umm Atiyyah, the Prophet’s companion, said, ” During the Prophet’s time, we never used to pay attention to the pinkish or brownish discharges that followed the expiry of menses.”  (Reported by Imam Bukhari and others).

 

All the above, however, is conditional on the fact that your menses period did not exceed fifteen days. For bleeding after fifteen days cannot be reckoned as menses; rather it is reckoned as istihadhah (abnormal bleeding). In the case of istihadhah, you need to pray after having taken a full bath at the end of your period; then you wash your private and make wudhu before each prayer. Washing and wudhu should only be done immediately prior to each salah.”

As for any confusion in regards to the number of days, it should be settled by considering the nature of bleeding, as well as the number of days you used to experience in the past. Menstruation can never exceed more than fifteen days. If you have had a pattern of menstruating six or days, then that should be standard for you to calculate the period.  Any bleeding over and above the standard is ruled as being due to a chronic condition. You may also seek the advice of the gynecologist.

 

The scholars ruled on such matters based on empirical observation in their times. Today science can answer such questions far more accurately. Therefore, you should consult your gynecologist; she should be able to sort out the confusion for you.

I want to know that a guy who has committed Zina (hambistari, having sex with their own will) in past with a woman can marry a daughter of that woman? Because the guy had physical relation with that woman, he didn't married her. So how a daughter of that woman will be same as a daughter to that guy ? How could be the daughter of that woman is prohibited for that guy ? Please elaborate



That is not an idea a person of sound mind and nature should entertain. How could someone think of copulating with a woman and her daughter at the same time or one after another? Islam does not allow a man to marry a woman and her daughter.

 

If we were to open the door to it, it would end up mixing the lineages. One of the primary objectives of the Shari`ah is the preservation of offspring.

 

The fact that he committed adultery with the woman should not make a difference. What we stated above is the view of the vast majority of scholars among the companions and successors as well as others.
