Q&A: Principle of “Whatever leads to a Wajib is Itself a Wajib”

Question: As-Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu I have questions I would like to pose to our honourable scholar, may Allah protect him, and they are both related to the book,  The Islamic Personality  Volume 3. The first question is regarding the subject of “Whatever leads to a Wajib is itself a Wajib” as mentioned in the book:  “As for that which is obligatory is conditional on it, there is no dispute that meeting the condition requirement is not obligatory, but the obligation is what is the evidence proves that it is obligatory; like the obligation of a certain prayer, it is conditional on the existence of purity ….”  And this sentence is understandable but the example is the subject of confusion because purity is not a condition of the prayer’s obligation, but a condition of its performance, and I saw them in some books of Usul representing this phrase with capability in the case for the pilgrimage, and Hawl (one year) for the Nisab of Zakat, and I found these exam

As-Sabr (patience) by Sheikh 'Ata bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah

MEANING OF SABR  As-Sabr (patience) by Sheikh 'Ata bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah ﴿وَاسْتَعِينُوا ْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَوةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَكِنْ لا تَشْعُرُونَ وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّ كُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوفْ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الاٌّمَوَالِ وَالاٌّنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّـبِرِينَ - الَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَـبَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُواْ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّـآ إِلَيْهِ رَجِعونَ - أُولَـئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَتٌ مِّن رَّبْهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ ﴾  “And seek help in patience and As-Salah (the prayer). Truly, Allah is with As-Sabirin. And say not of those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead.'' Nay, they are living, but you do not sense (that). And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin Those who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly,

Only Islam can fulfil the duty towards refugees

Waseem Abu Ilyas The mass movement of people across Europe has been described in the last week as the biggest refugee crisis to hit Europe since World War II. Thousands of refugees are now crisscrossing the continent looking for sanctuary from their war torn and broken lives. Walking along railway tracks, traveling on boat and some ultimately suffocating in the backs of trucks; men, women and children are going to extraordinary lengths to escape their homelands. Whilst the exodus from lands such as Syria has been going on for months the refugee crisis has only ever been discussed in the same breath as immigration and illegal migrants. The European attitude has been to the refugees to travel as far away from their own country as possible and explain away the thousands camping at “The Jungle” in Calais as those looking for an easy benefit driven life in the UK.  There has been little or no acknowledgement that the vast majority now traveling across nations are fleeing war and persec

Obituary for Abdullah Michael Vivash

Abdullah Michael Vivash returned to his Lord Allah (swt) on Thursday 3rd September 2015. He lived a life which was extraordinary and inspired many around him with his courage and devotion to Islam. He was born in Australia, fought in the Vietnam war and even became a professional boxer, however he never achieved tranquility and bore witness to the problems endemic in Western societies. It was only after his conversion to Islam that he found true peace and tranquility. He used his journey to Islam to inspire thousands of Muslims and he reminded them of the importance of re-establishing the Khilafah Rashida as a true beacon of justice and tranquility for mankind. His life will remain and inspiration even after his passing. May Allah (swt) grant him the highest abode in Jannah and forgive his shortcomings and raise him with the pious on the day of Judgement. Ameen. “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest”  (TMQ 13:28)

Question by Houssem Eddine: As-Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu, I would like to ask about the ruling on Q-net company based on the idea of network marketing, with the knowledge that the sales in this company is carried through marketing the products in a network, and the more clients a salesperson gets into the network increases his commission, even if he does not put effort to sell. For example, if the person No. 100 carries out the sale, then the founder of the network receives money, although he has not put in any significant ef
