Dec-02-2006 - Questions here were Answered by Shaykh 'Abdullaah Al-Ghudyaan

[Abu Ismaaeel]

When a woman request from her husband a khul', and it is granted, is she to be in iddah for 30 days? In order for the two to get back together do they have to have another nikah?

Answer: The khul’ah produces separation between the wife and her husband. If the husband wants to re-approach his former wife, he must present himself as one of the people who are proposing. There are three (3) things that are required:

i. A new marriage ceremony
ii. The wife must be in agreement
iii. A new mahr (dowry) must be given.

Can a woman who has not studied under a scholar but has gained a considerible amount of knowledge from the translated books and tapes, and has a indirect connection to obtain answers in important matters that can be only answered through a scholar, by way of her relaitionship to a very well known student of knowledge who forwards questions to the Sheik to be answered in her classes, be allowed to teach other sisters at the Masjid, because there is no one else to teach these classes on aqeedah and manhaj to the women?

If so how should her classes be constructed?

and what books should she use?

------------------------------------------ Above question has been modified by the moderator --------------

I am a sister who has access to information on the correct Islamic aqeedah and manhaj as well as translated books and tapes, and I have indirect access to scholars who can answer questions alhamdulillah. I want to benefit the other sisters in the masjid but I am not a scholar. Should I set up a class? If so, what books and material should I use and start with?

Answer: What is known is that knowledge is taken from the lips of the scholars. Each branch of knowledge is taken from one who specializes in that branch e.g. to study tafseer, it is taken from one who specializes in tafseer. This is one way of acquiring knowledge.

Another way is from reading the books – but one must not depend on it unless qualified to read the books. Perhaps she may misinterpret something and then pass along the wrong interpretation to the people, who then in turn, convey it to others and this lady will carry the burden of all those who she taught in this way. The Shaykh حفظه الله advises this sister that she should not teach as she did not read the books with one who can give the correct meaning.

1. I did not understand the reason that the surah is named hujaraat.

Answer: The Shaykh حفظه الله mentioned that he discussed this at the beginning of the tafseer. The reason for the naming of the surah al-Hujuraat is because Allaah سبحانه و تعالى mentions in the surah: “those who call out from behind the chambers (hujuraat)”. The expression ‘hujuraat’ comes in the surah so the name is tawqifiyyah i.e. based on textual evidence.



2. The translator was cut off at one point while he was explaining about the sahaabah who had a problem in one ear and used to talk loudly. Would it be possible for him to repeat this?

3. At this point the sheikh has mentioned three characteristics of good adab. The third being addressing rasulullah by his title, not by his name. What were the first two?

Assalamualaikkum Shaykh, the imam of the masjid which is the nearest to my house visits grave and asks help from the dead, so can i pray behind this imam?? and there is no other masjid which is nearer to my house than this one, please advice.


May Allah reward you Shaykh.

Thank You

Answer: An individual who visits the graves and seeks help from the dead in order to gain benefit or avert harm is committing major shirk which takes one out of the fold of Islaam. However, it is necessary to inform this individual that this is prohibited. The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم taught us: “Whoever sees something wrong let him change it with his hand, if he is not able then with his tongue, and if he is not able then hate it in his heart and this is the weakest of eemaan.”[3] If the imaam does not accept the advice, and he continues in his way, then it is not allowed to pray behind him and there is no problem for the brother to pray at home and gather others in the neighbourhood to pray with him.

Question: I am a 23 years old muslimah who would like to get married. Unfortunately my father doesn't pray at all. Most of my brothers don't pray neither, except one but he is in prison (here in Canada). I would like to know if me father is still my first walee even if he doesn't pray ? If not, who can be my walee ? If my brother who is in prison can be my walee how should we proceed (as he is in prison) ? Jazzakoum Allahou khairan

1. Is it permissible for a Muslimah to wear pants underneath her abaya/jilbab?

Answer: She should not wear these pants below her abayah as the abayah may possibly fall down and show her ’awrah. One of rules of Shariah is to close the door that leads to harm that may occur.




2. Is it permissible for Muslim parents to send their son to learn Qur'aan from those who are not on this minhaj? Both parents work and are trying to learn Qur'aan themselves.

Barak Allaahu Feek!
