To Defend the Right of Muslim Women to wear the "Niqab" is a Duty

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Translated)
The majority of the House of Representatives in the Netherlands approved a law prohibiting the face covering (Veil) in some public places, and to impose a financial penalty on those who do this ... Although the law was formulated in general terms, however, it intended without a doubt to ban the "Veil" or "Al-Burqa’" or the so-called "Burka". It is the Muslim community that is targeted.
Ideological states do not relish promulgating laws and legislation that is inconsistent with the legislative rules and principles it adopted and it is established on, some have realized that in this country and advised not to ban the "Veil"; because it conflicted with the so-called values ​​of freedom in the democratic system. Of these are the State Council, the highest legislative advisory authority, stated that the House of Representatives is looking at an issue that does not represent a societal problem, and that by this decision it is deliberately targeting the Muslim community and it does not possess enough justification for the ban, and that the right to wear the "Niqab" is part of the freedom of belief as what was explained by the State Council.
The opposition by the State Council for the decision to ban the "Veil" with a statement on its incompatibility of the legislative rules and principles, and its opposition to the values ​​on which the country's constitution is built on, reveals once again the lack of principled restraint among politicians, and that they act according to special partisan self-interest policies dictated by their lusts, desires, and malice, and has nothing to do with values ​​that they claim to defend. What is strange is that their hypocrisy goes as far as accusing Muslims of violating their values, when they are the first to oppose and contradict them.
It is absurd to rely on politicians to deliver justice to Muslims. It is a duty that Muslims unite to defend their issues, such as the issue of banning the "Veil" that affect a group of Muslim women in this country, defending the wearing of "Niqab" is a victory for Muslim women who adopt the rule that it is a Shariah duty (obligation) based on Shariah Ijtihad of some scholars based on evidence they adopt ... and at the same time, it is defending the right of the Muslim community to adhere to the rules of Islam without interference from the state. This will teach Muslims that cowardice and betrayal to the veiled Muslim women will reflect on them evil and corruption, compromises will only be followed by compromises. And banning the veil would be followed by another ban; it is a first step towards banning other Islamic manifestations like the Khimar (headscarf) and the Jilbab (long outer garment) and others.
We in Hizb ut Tahrir call on the Muslim community - individuals and groups - to carry out their Shariah duty and defend the Islamic causes:  «الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا»Verily, the believers are like a structure, each one strengthening the other.
And we call on them to work with us and to cooperate for the victory of the veiled Muslim women and defend their right to abide by the Shariah rule that they adopt, in application of the saying of Allah (swt):
﴿وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ
“The believing men and believing women are allies of one another” [At-Tawba: 71].

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
