Statement of Hizb ut Tahrir Ukraine Regarding the Recent Developments in Crimea




On the 27th of February, state government buildings were stormed by unknown gunmen. Russian troops are walking freely across the peninsula and reports are continuously arriving of the occupation of military and civilian headquarters alike. On February 28, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament Gen. Gennadiy Mascal said that Hizb ut Tahrir, directed and backed by Russia intends to carry out military attacks to create Russia's justification for the occupation of the Crimea. The head of the Milli Firka movement Wasfi Abdul Rahimov said that Hizb ut Tahrir took part in the clashes that occurred on the February 26. The media published a report that the new intelligence chief in the Crimea Peter Zeemi has declared war on the terrorist organization Hizb ut Tahrir which is banned in many countries of the world.
Consequently, Hizb ut Tahrir Ukraine publicly declare the following:
1. Hizb ut Tahrir is an Islamic political party, it does not undertake material action as its method; it has never used material action throughout the 60 years of its work, as well as during the 20 years of its work in Ukraine. The party is banned in authoritarian criminal dictatorship countries; the task of Hizb ut Tahrir in Ukraine is to culture and educate people about Islam.
2. Hizb ut Tahrir has no association with the conflict for power both in the Crimea and Ukraine, this is why we are not connected to any of the sides; this includes the recent events.
3. The recent events are a provocation by Russia for the new government in Ukraine, where Ukraine became a captive in the hands of three sides of Russia, Europe, and America which care only for their interests, and the lives of people are meaningless to them.
4. The protection of the unity and independence of the state rests with the government and its institutions not the individuals.
5. Defending the lives, honour, and wealth of the people, no doubt that the state has failed to provide, it is the individual's right guaranteed by Shari'ah, custom, mind, and all laws and systems. We hope that we do not reach this stage.
6. We foresee the possibility of provocations taking place, whether they are attacks on the security forces or citizens by unknown assailants, and then falsely blame them on Hizb ut Tahrir to justify the presence of Russia in the Crimea. We categorically deny all of this in advance, and if and when this takes place, we hold those who occupied the Crimea responsible.

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 ...

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 b...
