Bakhabar, July, ramadan special, 2013 - Bihar Anjuman

Commentary onHadith Nos. 4379 of AbuDawoudGheyas Hashmi, Jeddah(hgheyas@albatool.com.sa)One of our brothers has quoted the aboveHadith in last issue of Bakhabar. In Islam, them o s t d i f f i c u l t t h i n g i s M A K I N GR E G U L AT I O N S A N D D R AW I N G U PLEGISLATION and SCIENCE OF HADITH.Scholars have precisely discussed these twoissues which are available in hundreds ofbooks. I personally advise our brothers inIslam not to write a hadith or involve himselfin matters that are concerned with legislationbecause legislation does not depend merelyon one Hadith or evidence but so many thingsare looked into, i.e. Quran, all authenticHadithes on the same subject, tradition ofSahaba Kiram, examination of primarytextual evidence, Fiqh, Ijtihad, Scholars’viewpoint, etc. However, they can choose towrite on Muslim building characters, selfpurification,Fazayel Aamal and stories of theprophets and their nation, Seratunnabi, etcabout which ample information available inQuran, Hadithes, authentic books of Historyand Sirat.If such kind of Hadith is quoted the people willdraw up a fatwa at his own and will take itgranted. As far is the authenticity of theabove hadith is concerned, there is differentof opinion. First of all, this hadith is Muttarib(unstable), where difference in text or in chainor narration is found. One of the Rawi(narrator) of this Hadith (( istreated as weak by some scholars. Some havegraded this hadith to the lowest degree ofauthentication. According to Beqahi, (Maez,Jahniah, Ghamdiah) who have accepted theircrimes were not set free and these are famousnarrations.Regarding punishment to those whoaccepted their crimes (Fornication, Theft,Wine-drinking) and made true repentance,scholars differs about them based onevidences they have and the knowledge &wisdom they have applied. It is given in briefas below:-Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik and some ofShafayee scholars are of the opinion that theywill be punished. Imam Hambal gone againstit. According to Inb Temiah and Ibn Qayyamthey will not get punishment unless they wantit to do so in order to purify their soul. Somesay if the matter has not gone to the judge,the punishment will not be carried out.سماك بن حربBeneficial Advice to the YouthWho Came to Perform Umrahby Shaykh Ahmad BazmoolIn co-operation with our brothers from KSA Da’wahTranslated by: Abu Ishaaq Nadeemttp://www.uvioo.com/video/?m=aaefanbox&so=yt&c=0&v=pMKERxLStYIThe above video is inMP3 audio for easydownload / listeningOn the 10thSha’baan 1433 / 30thJune 2012 ourShaykh Ahmadحفظه)‏ ‘Umar Bazmooldelivered a ‏)االله تعالىbeneficial advice tosome youth who hadcome from the UK tomake Umrah.In this lecture the Shaykh mentioned from amongst other things, thefollowing:• The commandment of asking the people of knowledge if you donot know.• The obligation of seeking knowledge to remove ignorance• The importance of being kind to your parents, not even saying“uff” to them• Taking care of the parents in old age and seeking theirforgiveness• Being patient with Allah’s decree and not using it as an excuse tojustify his sinning• Do an action to the best of your ability in matters of religion andworldly matters• Defending the status of women in Islam, responding to falseaccusations• The plots of Shaytaan, the enemy of the believers…The individual is asking how do we know what is a major sin?Q.The individual is asking how do we know what is a major sin?A. The shaykh said major sins are for example that which Allaah tabaarakta wa ta’aala, informs us the punishment for whoever performs it will bethe hell fire. Likewise that which the Prophet (Sallaahu alayhi wa sallam)informed us that whoever does this action they will be distant from themercy of Allaah, or whoever does this action will be cursed by Allaah.These are certain things which inform an individual that a sin is a majorsin. You have the hadith where the Prophet (Sallaahu alayhi wa sallam)said: ‘abstain from the seven major sins’. However the Prophet Sallaahualayhi wa sallam did not mean that there are only seven. He sallaahualayhi wa sallam in that hadith mentioned seven but did not say that theyare the only major sins. The proof for that is ibn Abbass (RadiAllaahuanhumma). He was asked are there only seven? He said they are closer toseventy then seven. So there is no specific number of the amount of majorsin there are.Shaykh Saalih ibn Muhammad al-Luhaydaan (May Allaah preserve him)(Kitaab-ut-Tawheed Class 01.12.12) Riyadh.Bakhabar16
