New Book: Clear Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence (Al-Waadih Fee Usool ul-Fiqh)

Al-Waadih Fee Usool ul-Fiqh
By Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Abdullah (Hafizhuhullah)

Al-Waadih in Usool ul-Fiqh is in my view a blessing for all those wishing to study the Islamic Science of Usool ul-Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence). Many modern books have been written in this subject area in both Arabic and English attempting to present this subject area to those yearning to understand it. However, the style of the author, Ash-Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Abdullah, (May Allah preserve him) is distinguished from others in terms of his ability to present the subject in a very well organised and well-explained easy manner that enables the reader to absorb this subject area.

This is not the most advanced book ever to be written in the subject area of Usool ul-Fiqh but it explains clearly all of the main areas related to this important Islamic science. It is in my opinion the best book in Usool ul-Fiqh available in the English language and the best initial book in the Arabic language. It pleased me greatly to come across it and benefit from it just as it gave me great pleasure to be able to translate it and present it to the English reading audience so that they too can benefit from it by Allah’s permission. May Allah reward the author greatly and place this effort heavily upon his scale of Hasanaat. Aameen.

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
