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

By
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.
Muafa Abu Haura
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

By
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 ...

The Shariah rules relating to mixing between the sexes

By
In Islam, the basic principle of the interaction between men and women is segregation. This means that in all areas of life and in all places whether private or public, contact between men and women is generally prohibited. Many evidences establish the principle of not mixing between the sexes, and there are many ahadith which clarify that this is the case in both public and private areas: Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: "The best rows for the men are the first rows and the worst rows for them are the last rows. The best rows for the women are the last rows and the worst for them are the front rows." The last rows are the best for the women because they are farther away from the men as against the first rows that are nearest to men's rows. [This is related by the group except al-Bukhari]  In Abu Dawud, p.284, Hadith No. 4931, it is narrated upon the authority of Aisha (ra) that she said: "I used to play with my friends and whenever the P...

Authenticity of ahadith on tall buildings in Makkah?

By
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 b...
