Nisaa's plentiful questions thread

ahhhh the confusion. Okay I'm gonna have a read of that.. insha Allah


Hmm.. I dunno.. *shrugs* =/

I know people say well they're all right .. but.. what's the exact right thing to do? If that makes sense..

d'ya know I'm annoying myself. I'm going to be quiet.

Water (pus) coming out of wounds on the body does not invalidate wudoo’

I keep having pimples and acne on my face. I know that blood which comes out of the wound, if it flows, is unclean and one has to repeat the wudu. My question is sometimes after the blood comes out, there comes out water-like material from the wound. Is that water-like material (which is of water's color) also unclean? Does one have to repeat the wudu after it too?

Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly: to learn more about the ruling on the najaasah (impurity) of blood, see the answers to Questions 2570 and 2176.

Secondly: some of the scholars said that if water (pus) from wounds is a small amount, it does not invalidate wudoo, but if it is a large amount then it does invalidate wudoo’.

A group of scholars – including al-Shaafa’i and Imaam Ahmad, according to one report narrated from him, and the seven fuqahaa’ – said that anything that comes out from anywhere other than the front and back passage does not invalidate wudoo’, whether it is a small amount or a large amount, apart from urine and faeces.

They quoted the following as evidence for that:

1- The basic principle is that it does not break wudoo’; whoever claims that something breaks wudoo’ has to produce evidence.

2- The fact that he is taahir (pure) is indicated by the shar’i evidence, and whatever is indicated by shar’i evidence cannot be changed except by further shar’i evidence.

We do not go beyond that which is indicated by the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), because we worship Allaah according to His sharee’ah and not according to our whims and desires. We have no right to oblige the slaves of Allaah to do wudoo’ when it is not required, or to excuse them from doing wudoo’ when it is required.

See al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, part 1, p. 224



Woohoo... alhamdulillah... no more madness for me.. and it's not pus! eww that's gross.. and I don't have acne alhamdulillah but I do make myself bleed... and then I panic and rush around like a mad woman.. =) I'm well chuffed reading that.. ! Easily pleased! Love it.

BTW is it just me that sees scary faces when I'm praying salaah on the floor? It's happening to me again... might be shaytaan or my imagination, but I got scared.. =o Not actual faces lol... but faces forming on the floor.. no I'm not crazy... =(


Is there a difference of opinion about how many minutes after sunrise begins the sun has actually risen? Like half an hour or something... 40 minutes? an hour? =/

What can be my sutrah? .. I know it's not obligatory but it's a sunnah and insha Allah there's reward in it, but what can I use? Can it be anything? Anything that's tall enough right? hey maybe we could all do that as a sunnah!

Your wudu only breaks if you actually faint or when you actually throw up... all the pre to that doesn't right? Like if you feel your hearing and eyesight going fuzzy and pukeyness (ugh gross =P) BUT you don't faint nor does anything come up that's alright? Is salaah valid in that situation especially if you fear your salaah time will run out..

Hmm... know how you have to make sure the previously washed thing is still wet whilst washing the new thing? Does it mean it all .. like okay I washed my right arm does it have to be all wet or what if whilst I'm washing the left arm it dries a little? It's not my slowness I'm pretty fast, it's just maybe the air or my greedy skin. =/ haha.. so er.. yeah.. cause of that I have to go faster but I was wondering if I have an issue here or if I'm just making things harder than they're supposed to be..

and shaytaan has been hassling me and I feel a bit sick in the head... =P alhamdulillah I'm not like major stress but when I pray salaah I doubt whether I've done takbeer properly.. and the takbeers for movements, I doubt whether I've said it.. so it means I do forgetfulness prostration quite a bit.. and I don't want to.. the thing is I was reading something and there's ikhtilaaf on the issue whether if a person doubts (and then he realises that no he doesn't need to do prostration at the end) whether he still has to do it because of this:

Messenger sulAllahu 'alayhi wassalaam said " And if he has prayed it completely, then the two prostrations will be a humiliation for Satan."

So the more correct and safer opinion is to do it, but you see... I get scared like "oh if you don't do it.. you're gonna have to repeat or it won't be valid" you know? =( It sucks.. I dunno what to do.. I've started just assuming I'm doing it correct otherwise I'm gonna go excessive but I worry mostly in my fard salaah's..

and the same thing happens in wudu it's like uuughh... it's so hard, he just won't leave me alone.. I go through phases where I'm better and sometimes it just worsens and it makes me get frustrated and sad

but I'm not mega psycho.. and QandA sites refer people who have trouble like me to shrinks.... ='( I'm not mental nor am I losing it

Can you tell me if it's obligatory on a woman to have ghusl on a Friday? I assumed it was after assuming it wasn't but now I'm confused again..

and does have an excuse if she's menstruating not to do ghusl on Fridays if it is obligatory?

I already asked that ^^ To the sisters.. but I don't think anyone knows for sure.. and I can't find anything on it.. so sorry I have to ask. =/

I'm sure Admin will try to answer ur questions once he gets back inshAllah!

and.. okay.. say I want to recite Qur'an daily and I set aside some time like after Asr.. daily, if I always do that would that be wrong or would that be okay? Am I just getting confused about about where bidah comes in to play? Because I can't seem to draw a line.. so I want to understand so I'm not always questioning everything I do..

Same with dua if I just want to make dua and I usually make a dua at a certain time in the day can I do that always or do I have to switch it around so it's not considered like a ritual..

These questions have been answered by myself.

and yes the 99 names that are usually printed and those sang in nasheed the hadith is weak, there's information on Islam QA, alhamdulillah.

Reading them, learning them would be dangerous no? I mean if it's a weak hadith then you should stay away from it unless it's authentic, like backed with others... and these are Allah's names... and we can't make names up or not use non authentic names...

I'll answer what i can in due time Inshaa Allaah

I'm sorry..

That's like millions of things you've said you'll respond to. I'll find out myself, I shouldn't be so selfish. Sorry. =o

no no it's perfectly fine, i like answering questions, because it helps me too

It's just that when i return to the forum then there's 3 pages of posts that i've missed, so i try to read as many as i can before it disappears.

It's fine

Quote :

Because I want to make dua in sujood.. =( Because it's the closet you are to Allah.. and I want my duas accepted..

So are you saying now that Allaah don't accept your du'aa if you make it out of Salaah?

Quote :

What about if you wanna make dua before salaam in salaah, another one aside from the one you normally recite.. do you just recite it after?

No, you complete your salaah and then you read whatever you want to read, don't go to the path of bid'ah, because salaah is complete, why now should new things be added into it?

Quote :

don't laugh at me.. but you know when memorising a surah or an ayah that has a prostration in it.. do you just keep track of how many times you've recited it and then make them later or what do you do... ? =(

I keep track of them, i normally never let it reach more than 3 before i fulfill it.

Quote :

Oh.. =( I never knew that.. so I have to repeat my salaah as qadha? =(

No you don't have to repeat it.

Quote :

How did they calculate 77km though? Is it that proper set in stone or is there difference of opinion.. ?

It's based upon the distance mentioned in the hadeeth, according to the transport of those days the journey would be equivilant to that 77km (i think), so you can say it's set in stone.

Quote :

=/ I have a question. Those that do follow the hanafi way of praying their salaah and they know this, they know that the hadith are regarded weak by scholars now, if they continue would that not be a mistake? Wouldn't you say that you should follow this opinion?

Apart from the salafis which other madhaahib hold the view that males and females salaah is the same?

Woohoo... alhamdulillah... no more madness for me.. and it's not pus! eww that's gross.. and I don't have acne alhamdulillah but I do make myself bleed... and then I panic and rush around like a mad woman.. =) I'm well chuffed reading that.. ! Easily pleased! Love it.

The hanafi madhab says that it breaks your wudhu.

Quote :

There's no ikhtilaaf concerning it, when the sun rises then it's risen, you'll have to see what time it is based upon where you live.

Yes anything (well almost anything) can be a sutrah, but what you should do is see what Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa sallam used as a sutrah, that will be your homework

If it dries that bit by itself then it's fine.

Do you find it hard to concentrate in salaah?

Quote :

It is sunnah to have a ghusl on a friday, not fardh.

Quote :

and does have an excuse if she's menstruating not to do ghusl on Fridays if it is obligatory?

Same as above answer.

The reason ghusl was commanded was because in those days people wore woolen clothes, so they sweated and came to jumu'ah like that, so it was distressing for the Muslims, so Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said that people must have a ghusl for jumu'ah, and that's why we say it's sunnah.

Quote :

Can you give me the link? to both islamqa and the 99 names that they say are correct.

^^
Sabrah ibn Mu'abid reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "When one of you prays, he should make a partition for his salah, even if it is an arrow." This is related by Ahmad and by al-Hakim who said it is sahih according to the criteria of Muslim. Al-Haithami observes: "Ahmad's narrators are sound."

Abu Hurairah relates that the Prophet said: "When one of you prays, he should place something in front of him. If he cannot find anything, he should prop up his staff [in front of him]. If he does not have a staff, he should draw a line [on the ground in front of him] then nothing that passes in front of him will harm him." This is related by Ahmad and Abu Dawud and Ibn Hibban. The later classifies it sahih as did Ahmad and Ibn al-Madini. Al-Baihaqi says: "There is no problem with that hadith regarding that ruling, Allah willing."

Talhah says: "We used to pray and the animals would pass in front of us. We mentioned that to the Prophet and he said: "If anything the size of a saddle is in front of you, nothing that passes beyond it would harm you." [This is related by Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and at-Tirmidhi who calls it hasan sahih]

and below is from Islam QA

Quote :

He wants to know the names and attributes of Allaah that are mentioned in the Qur’aan and Sunnah


Praise be to Allaah.
Knowledge of the names and attributes of Allaah is of major importance in the life of the Muslim. Through them the Muslim may come to know about his Creator, may He be exalted, and through this knowledge he may attain all aspects of Tawheed.

In the answer to question no. 4043 we have explained the importance of knowing the names of Allaah, may He be exalted. Please refer to this question.

Secondly:

The names of Allaah are not limited to a specific number. There is a saheeh report from which some people understand that Allaah has only ninety-nine names. This report was narrated bu al-Bukhaari (2736) and Muslim (2677) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him), and says that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one. Whoever learns them will enter Paradise.”

Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrated that the scholars were unanimously agreed that the names of Allaah are not limited to this number. In the answer to question no. 41003 we have quoted the evidence that they cannot be limited to this number, as well as the comments of the scholars refuting those who say that the names of Allaah are limited to this number.

In the answer to question no. 48964 you will find a detailed discussion of the guidelines concerning the names that may correctly be applied to Allaah, may He be exalted.

The hadeeth which is narrated by al-Tirmidhi, listing these ninety-nine names is a da’eef (weak) hadeeth. It was classed as da’eef by Imam al-Tirmidhi (may Allaah have mercy on him) himself and others.

Al-Tirmidhi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, after narrating the hadeeth:

This is a ghareeb hadeeth (i.e., it is weak, as is the apparent meaning of his words here). It was narrated to us by more than one person from Safwaan ibn Saalih, but we only know of it through Safwaan ibn Saalih, and he is thiqah (trustworthy) according to the scholars of hadeeth. This hadeeth was also narrated by more than one person from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet , but in many reports we do not know of any saheeh isnaad mentioning the names except this hadeeth. Adam ibn Abi Iyaas narrated this hadeeth with another isnaad from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), in which he mentioned the names of Allaah, but its isnaad is not saheeh.

Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 5/530 – 532

The hadeeth was also classed as da’eef by al-Haafiz ibn Hajr in al-Talkhees al-Habeer, 4/172. He also narrated that Ibn Hazm, al-Bayhaqi and others classed it as da’eef.

And it was classed as da’eef by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 22/482.

Many scholars have striven to derive the names of Allaah from the Qur’aan and Sunnah. One of these scholars is Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, in his book al-Qawaa’id al-Muthla fi Sifaat Illaahi wa Asmaa’ihi’l-Husna. In this book he lists the names of Allaah in the Qur’aan and Sunnah according to his findings. You can find these names in his book by clicking on the following link:

http://www.ibnothaimeen.com/all/books/article_16821.shtml

Thirdly:

With regard to the attributes of Allaah, may He be exalted, they are more than can be listed here. In the answer to question no. 39803 we have discussed this matter in more detail. Please refer to this question.

In the book mentioned above, Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) has discussed some useful principles concerning the attributes of Allaah, may He be exalted, which you will find by clicking on the following link:

http://www.ibnothaimeen.com/all/books/article_16822.shtml

With regard to striving to learn them according to what is narrated in the Qur’aan and Sunnah, some scholars have striven to list the attributes that are mentioned in the Qur’aan and Sunnah. One of the best books that have been written on this topic is the book of Shaykh ‘Alawi ibn ‘Abd al-Qaadir al-Saqqaaf: Sifaat Allaah ‘azza wa jall al-Waaridah fi’l-Kitaab wa’l-Sunnah. You can read this book on his site by clicking on the following link:

And Allaah knows best.

Islam Q&A

good job I have a staff so i'll be using that from now on

But i'll first see if i can find anything on the subject, whether making salaah with a sutrah where there is no need for one, whether that's sunnah or not.

Quote :

The hadeeth which is narrated by al-Tirmidhi, listing these ninety-nine names is a da’eef (weak) hadeeth. It was classed as da’eef by Imam al-Tirmidhi (may Allaah have mercy on him) himself and others.

Ghareeb is quite different to dha'eef, so it's not proper for him to say imaam itrmidhi rahimahullah said it's dha'eef.

Anyhow i'll check the kitaabs and see if i can find anything about it Inshaa Allaah.

You have a staff.. that's so cool.. I never thought of using exactly what the Prophet used... that's real awesome.. I wonder if I can find some hadith with something I have that he used.. hmm..

But you get extra reward for following a sunnah right? And this is a proper established sunnah.. so we could do it as a sunnah for the week. It'll be good.

Staff ya'ni walking stick

Sunnah doesn't necassarily mean sunnah at all times though, if you get what i mean, Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu Alayhi wa sallam did make salaah at home, and i don't remember reading a narration about the usage of the sutrah in those situations, that's why i want to check it up first.

Oh..

Could you post it here after you find out?


Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 9 :: Hadith 481
Narrated Yazid bin Al ‘Ubaid:

I used to accompany Salama bin Al-Akwa’ and he used to pray behind the pillar which was near the place where the Quran’s were kept I said, “O Abu Muslim! I see you always seeking to pray behind this pillar.” He replied, “I saw Allah’s Apostle always seeking to pray near that pillar.”

Bukhari : Book 1 : Volume 9 : Hadith 482

Narrated Anas:

I saw the most famous people amongst the companions of the Prophet hurrying towards the pillars at the Maghrib prayer before the Prophet came for the prayer.

Bukhari Book 1 Volume 9 Hadith 485

Narrated Nafi

“The Prophet used to make his she-camel sit across and he would pray facing it (as a Sutra).” I asked, “What would the Prophet do if the she-camel was provoked and moved?” He said, “He would take its camel-saddle and put it in front of him and pray facing its back part (as a Sutra). And Ibn ‘Umar used to do the same.” (This indicates that one should not pray except behind a Sutra).


Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 15 :: Hadith 89

Narrated Ibn Umar:

On the day of ‘Id-ul-Fitr and ‘Id-ul-Adha a spear used to be planted in front of the Prophet I (as a Sutra for the prayer) and then he would pray.


Muslim :: Book 4 : Hadith 1008
‘A’isha reported:

The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was asked about sutra of a worshipper; he said: Equal to the back of the saddle.

from: http://lolliesplace.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/sutrah/

not mine. =/

I checked up on the 99 names of Allaah, and my conclusion is that the one who says it's bid'ah is in fact the mubtadi'.

Yes there is ikhtilaaf on some of the names, but the general theme is the same, you're free to check al asmaa was sifaat of imaam bayhaqi rahimahullaah, or tafseer ibn katheer, or any of those kitaabs.

As for the sutrah, i checked Nayl al Awtaar concerning it, and yes the conclusion was that you can use the sutrah anyplace it's not restricted to places where people may pass in front of you.

You know when you clean your ears... how do you do it that's more correct?

I ask cause, I thought you put your finger in your ear and then wipe the back with your thumb.. that's how Islam QA says to do it too.. but then I saw another way where they wash the outside of the ear too... =/ I dunno.. what's more correct, or is one wrong?

Like basically you start at top go round, the stop and then wipe the back with your thumb.

Wash the outside of the ear? do you have the link to islamqa where they explain this washing?
