Q&A: The refusal of Hizb ut Tahrir and its Ameer to answer criticism and make corrections

Question:
Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah,
Is it true what has spread in Indonesia that Hizb ut Tahrir and its Ameer refuse to hear criticism, and are not open to making corrections and engage in discussions of knowledge, to the point where it is said: "If you want to change Hizb ut Tahrir then it is necessary to become its Ameer first!!"
We want to engage in discussions in a variety of subject areas related to the Hukm Shar'i, Islamic thought, and administrative matters besides others.

Answer:
Wa Alaikumu as-Salaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baarakatuhu,
We welcome any objective discussion based upon what is found in our books in terms of concepts and rules (Ahkam) whilst not discussing that which has been said in allegations in other books. Meaning that we accept for it to be said: 'So and so was mentioned in this book...' and then afterwards you may say what you like in terms of questioning or criticism in relation to it. We will then respond by the permission of Allah. However we do not accept to waste time by transmitting that which has been falsely fabricated against us by some of those who harbor hatred against Islam. So it could be asked of us for example: 'as mentioned in this book by so and so that you are so and so...' So it is this type that we do not like to waste our time upon, rather we leave these allegations to Allah Al-Azeez Al-Qahhaar.
Likewise we do not discuss administrative structural matters because the place for this is not this page.
My brother, indeed we do not place a single word in our books except after a thorough study of the evidences and its angle of deduction. For this reason we are ready for their discussion and answer any enquiry that relates to them.
Your brother,
Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Authenticity of ahadith on tall buildings in Makkah?

Question Are these   ḥadith  sound? Are the references provided correct and accurate? When you see the belly of Makkah will be cleft open and through it will be dug out river-like passages (i.e. tunnels) (or water in the road to Makkah), and you see the buildings surpass its mountains, then take care (or beware, or a variant has: then know that the matter is at hand, or then understand that the time of trial (Judgment day) is near at hand). [Narrated by Al-Azraqi in the Book of reports about Makkah – Kitab Akhbaar Makkah, Hadiyth-1725; A specific Hadiyth (in fact several related-Hadiyths) which prophesizes about this Tower. Itha ra’aitun mecca bu’ijat katha’ima, wa ya-tasawa bunyanuha ru’usa jibaliha, faqad athalati as-Sa’atu. When you see Mecca, its mountain with holes (pierced through them), and its buildings reach its mountain tops, then as-Sa’ah (the Hour) has already cast its shadow. [Suyuti] So when you see in Makkah that channels have already been dug (or tunnels built), and you
