Salam,
More of the same please.

Salaam,
I have a question can one listen to music? If yes then which kind of music and wat kinds or intruments can be used?
There is a legitimate difference of opinion amongst the scholars on the issue of music.
The opinions range from absolute prohibition, prohibition of specific types of instruments, permissibility of certain genre of music, kirahiyah (it being disliked) in principle, and absolute permission in principle.
Taj ud-Deen Subki, al-Haythami and others argue that it is haram.
Imam Ibn Hazm al Andalusi states that it takes the rule of being the means to an end, if it is a means to evil then prohibited, and if it is a means to goodness it is permitted. (al insaaf fee bayan adab ul ikhtilaf, Shah Wali Allah Dehlawi refers to his position as accurate).
Ash-Shawkani says it is Makruh (disliked)in Nayl ul Awtar.
Imam Shafi’ mentions in Kitab al Umm that the messenger (saw) enjoyed listening to the music the caravans played.
Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali although he only partially permits certain types of music quotes Imam Shafi’I as saying 'Sima, kalaam, wal kalaam khair, wal kalaam sharr'(Music is an aspect of speech, speech is either good or bad). This is related in the Ihya uloom ud Deen with Zain ud Deen al Iraqi’s istikhraj where he did not reject the attribution to Shafi'.
Ibn Abi Zayd al Qayrawani quotes Malik as saying that he dislikes it and listening to it should be avoided if possible, although not munkar and should not be forbidden. Imam al Hafidh Shatibi, the Maliki Mujtahid and Usuli states in his Muwaaffaqaat fee Usul states that there is no harm in listening to music as long as it does not become too frequent and prevents one from other more necessary actions i.e. that it is mubah.
Al-Nablusi the Hanafi Faqeeh (died 1730) said that it is not forbidden.
Asalaam alaikum,
Brother do you have a reference to difference of opinions that existed amongst the salaf on issues relating to 'khabar ahad' mentioning their sources, books and names and what's the general understanding for a lay MUSLIM emanating from those differences?
Jazak Allahu Kheir
Salaam,
Is one allowed to seek financial aid from a Kufr Government e.g. help in funding education?
Assalamu alaium...
I have question. Is it allowed to wear a garment out of the jilbab, or shold the jilbab be outermost?
baraka Allahu fik
salaamalaikoum, you told us about music.
What can you tell me about the following:
And Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) was asked :
“ Is it permissible for men to indulge in the ‘Islaamic songs (nasheed)’ ? ”
He answered with his statement:
“the ‘ISLAAMIC NASHEED' (songs) are an INNOVATION brought by the SUFIS. therefore it is a MUSTto ABANDON these and choose the QURAN and
the SUNNAH. ”
Assalaam Alaykum,
may Allah bless you for creating such an informative site, i have a question,
is it permissible to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries in Islam? or is it comes from kuffar's concepts?
JazakAllah Khair
The following is from a q&a on this subject:
Celebrating the birthday of a person is one of the disbelieving western countries habits. It is not of the habits of the Muslims, nor did it exist at their times, neither at the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw), nor at the time of the Sahabah or the tab’ieen and tab’iee tab’ieen. Neither the messenger (saw) nor the Sahabah nor the tab’ieen celebrated the birthday of Muhammad (saw). Neither did the Messenger (saw) celebrate the birthday of Al-Hassan nor Al-Hussien, nor did they present gifts to anyone of them in the occasion of their birthday.Celebrating, if it is an imitation of the kuffar is not allowed by the shar’a, due to the ahadith that prohibited the imitation of the kuffar.But if it was not imitation of the kuffar then it is of the mubah matters. But it is better suited for the shabab to stay away from it and not participate in it, so as to stay away from the doubted matters (shubhat) due to the saying of the Messenger (saw) “Whoever protected himself from the Shubhat (doubted matters) he would have cleared his deen from blame (guilt)”
salaam brother,
Is it fard to send your children to Islamic schools and if you can not afford it, to home school? This is in light of the ayah which talks about saving your familes from hell fire as its fule is men and stones. Non muslims schools teach things contradictory to Islam and have an unislamic environment where children pick up bad things in the playground.
AA
The following Q&A and the posts following it answer your question:

Salam brother,
I've question on consuming najis (cow's drop). To farm a earthworm, it is better to use cow's drop (mix with other substance) as a media (habitat/food to worms). Is it allowed to consume najis for this matter? To plant a vegetables also, cow's drop could be use as fertelizer. Is it allowed?
Thanks for you question.

Salams
The Prophet (saw) said that there is no shyness in matters of deen - so it is good that we clarify the shariah rules relating to all issues, even though some people may find embarrassing. The Sahaba used to ask the Prophet (saw) questions on the most detailed and intimate of issues in order to follow the ahkam shariah.
As Aisha (ra), the wife of the Prophet testified, "Blessed are the women of the Ansar. Shyness did not stand in their way of seeking knowledge about their religion." (Agreed upon).
Regarding oral sex there is difference of opinion amongst the scholars. Some say it is permitted (mubah), others say it is Makruh (disliked). Most put a condition of not swallowing each others fluids.
Imam al-Shafi`i said in al-Umm, book of Nikah, chapter on (the prohibition of) anal sex, that apart from the prohibition of anal sex, "enjoyment of the whole body regardless of vaginal penetration (iblaagh al-faraj) is permissible."
Ibn al-`Arabi [al-Maliki] cited Asbagh - one of the Maliki Ulema - as saying: It is permissible for him to lick the vagina with his tongue.
As-salamu walikum

There is a section on this topic in the chapter on the conditions of the Khalifah in the Ruling System of Islam book:
http://www.hizb-pakistan.org/home/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/the_ruling_system_of_islam.pdf
Regarding ramadhan: last years ramadhan was very tough. I live in scandinavia, where the fasting hours are long (from five am - eight pm). And I almost became ill from that, because i was working at the same time.
So here is my question: would it be allowed for me to not fast, and instead pay for a poor person every day that i do not fast? I believe i read something about that, that this is allowed, but i'm not sure.
Jazakum Allahu khairan
No that is not permitted for you to do. It is haram to intentionally break the fast without a shariah reason to do so like if you were actually ill. You have to see it as a test from Allah and take measures like having a big suhur which will keep you going during the day. Imagine the fasting of the Sahabah in the blazing desert without any air conditioning!
salamualikum brother
concerning your answer of fasting:
Brother I heard from some Madhahibs, that they said, if it is too difficult to fast( so that someone get ill of that) he has the option to breake the fast (but the difficulties has to appear while fasting).
Is that right?
So from what you said, I have to try fasting, and then if I become too ill to fast, pay for a poor person? Or fast when it's easier...? Isn't there a kaffarah for not fasting, besides the two months...?
If a Muslim doctor verifies that you will get ill if you fast then you can give the kaffarah instead of fasting
There are only 'ulema here. I haven't seen a real muslim doctor.
Okay, for example, then I can give iftar to my friends instead? I have trouble applying the theory of the Hukm to my reality..... Let me try and explain what happened last year. When I fasted, I had a raging headache and some nausea, to the point, that I had to spend the day on the couch, trying to sleep until iftar. That would seem to be sickness, wouldn't it? Could you give some examples of what Sahabah or Tabi'in experienced in that regard? How did they get sick and to what degree, to allow themselves to break their fast?
Sheikh Ali Raghib said in his book Ahkam as-Salah:
"Whoever is not capable to fast at all, namely the old man who is strained by fasting i.e. he finds difficulty therein, and the sick whose recovery is not expected, fasting is not obliged upon him and a ransom (fidyah) is obliged upon him due to His (swt) saying:
{ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ }
“And Allah did not lay hardship on you in the deen” [TMQ 22:78]
And His (swt) saying:
{ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ }
“And on those who are capable of it, a ransom of feeding a poor person” [TMQ 2:184].
It is also due to what ibn ‘Abbas (ra) narrated and said:
"من أدركه الكبر فلم يستطع صيام رمضان فعليه لكل يوم مد من قمح"
“Whoever attains old age and is not able to fast Ramdhan, then a (mudd) of wheat every day is (obligatory) on him.”
And ibn ‘Umar said: “If one becomes too weak to fast, feed a (mudd) every day.” It was also narrated from Anas (ra):
(ضعف عن الصوم عاماً قبل وفاته فافطر وأطعم)
“That he became too weak to perform fasting one year before his death so he broke the fast (aftara) and fed (others).”
If one is unable to fast due to an illness which he fears to increase, and hopes of its cure, fasting is not obliged on him because of harm to him so he does not fast. If he was cured then, repaying is obliged on him due to His (swt) saying:
{ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ }
“Whoever among you is ill or upon travel, then a number of other days (is to be made up)” [TMQ 2:184].
If one wakes up fasting and he is healthy then he became ill, he breaks the fast because breaking the fast is allowed for him. As for the traveller, if his travel is less than four burud i.e. less than eighty kilometres, he fasts and it is not permitted for him to break his fast, because the travel that gives permission is the Shair’ai travel which is four burud measured as eighty kilometres. If the travel is four burud and beyond, he has the choice to fast or break the fast, due to what ‘Aishah (ra) narrated:
“That Hamza bin Amru Al-Aslami said: O Rasool Allah, should I fast in the travel? Rasoolallah (saw) said:
«إن شئت فصم وإن شئت فافطر»
‘If you wish, fast and if you wish, break the fast.”
[End of quotation]

The fidyah (ransom) cannot be just giving iftar to your friends, you should feed a poor needy person that you don't fast.
Ibn Qudaamah (d. 620 AH) (Rahimullah) said, “The scholars are agreed that it is permissible for the sick person not to fast in general. The basis of that is the aayah in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
“For those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent.” [Surat al Baqarah (2) V. 184]
It was narrated that Salamah ibn al-Akwa’ (Radi Allahu Anhu) (d. 74 AH) said: “When this aayah was revealed –
…وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ…
“And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskeen (poor person) (for every day)” [Surat al-Baqarah (2) V. 184]
those who wanted not to fast could do that, and pay the fidyah (i.e., feed one poor person for each day).
Ok, now we've established the theory of the Hukm. On to the practical aspect of it.
What is the definition of health and the definition of sickness? I have to dig in it, to further my understanding. To ask a foolish question, if i had pain in my little toe, does that mean that i have the rukhsah not to fast? Or what...? :-) People tell me, "It's wellknown what health is and what sickness is". But I'm not like that, I need explanation. Please elaborate more...
What you described of your own condition when you said: "When I fasted, I had a raging headache and some nausea, to the point, that I had to spend the day on the couch, trying to sleep until iftar" - means that if that is the reality when you fast then you have a ruksa.
Please tell us what country you are in so we can maybe refer you to a website of fuqaha in your area to be contact with.
Denmark, copenhagen. It would propably be impossible to locate the headache and nausea (joke intended) now, so how can I be sure, they will return.
So basically I have to try and fast, which I will insha Allah, and if the headache and nausea starts again, then I have to stop the fast. And I have to try and fast the days in december for example where it's easier, but if I can't, then I have to pay the fidyah for a poor person for each day I didn't fast.
Have I understood it correctly?
You have to use your best judgement of the likelihood of you getting ill, it may not be exact but you should fear Allah in that and if you truly believe from experience you will become ill then you have a rukhsa.
It is best you discuss this matter with knowledgeable brothers in Denmark like the brothers from www.khilafah.dk
Salaams brother...
Masha Allah on all the work that you are currently doing.
Firstly, is it permissable to visit shrines & tombs of the deceased & to seek their intercession or their blessings.
Is there any evidence in the ahkam sharah that allows this???
I have read that Imam Shafai visited the tomb of Imam Abu Hanifa...is this true.
Jazakallah Khair
Was salaam

The prophet (saw) said, كنت نهيتكم عن زيارة القبور ألا فزوروها, he said that i had ordered you not
to visit graves, now you can visit them. From this hadith it is clear that the
prophet had earlier ordered the muslims not to visit graves and then he said that they could visit them.
Similarly in another hadith the prophet said that the Muslims should walk with the funerals as it makes a man sad and the one who is sad is in the shade of allah.
From here we can understand that it is recommended to visit graves and that is for our Ibrah (reminder/lesson), although there is no daleel (evidence) to prove that we can ask for their interecession.
The prophet (saw) in this regard said: when one dies, all his deeds stop except for three, a good (saleh) son who makes dua for him, sadaqa jariya and ilm which is beneficial for the muslims.
From this hadith it is very clear that the one who is dead is himself unable to help himself and that he cannot do any deeds, how can he help others.
wassalam
brother,
i have one question regarding sabab & manaat ul hukm. Are these two the same or there is a difference? Please clarify a bit.
