[SalafiMuslimah88]

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaathuhu

Dear Noble Shaykh:

My question is regarding the selection critieria of a good spouse. Apart from the main thing we must look for in our future spouse like deen, good manners etc...Is it also true that we should also make sure our future spouse is one free of defects or chronic diseases(such as insanity, leprosy, skin diseases and diabetes)

Is there any Hadiths supporting the above mentioned critieria? If so, what kind of defects do they mean? Is it fair to consider someone who is strong in his/her deen to not make a good spouse just because they have some defects, eg. physical disability.

Please shed some light insha Allah!

Jazak Allahu Khayran.

Wasalamualaikum!

Having considered one's Deen, is it also amongst the conditions for choosing a spouse that he is free of physical defects or chronic diseases ?If so what are some of these defects?If his deen is strong,but he has a physical defect,will it be fair to say that he will not be a good spouse?

asalamu alakum thank you for taking the time to listen to my concern.
This question is for another sister. She has been married for 3 years and for the full 3 years her husband has been in jail, ..It has been 3 1/2 years that he has been in jail for now. At first she never knew how long he was going to be in there for and they also didn't have a daughter. Things are getting harder for her. She has to manage all of the household expenses and maintain the house including looking after there daughter and look after him by sending money and being there emotionally. Her family is not muslim nor is his so she only has her muslim ummah and Allah(swa). Because of all of this she feels sometimes that her deen is really at risk. He is a good husband in that he really respect her. She loves him but does not want her love to come at the price of her deen. Thank you and may Allah (swa) reward you.

Please advise a sister whose husband is incarcerated and she is under much financial burden and hardship. Both of their families (i.e. parents etc) are non muslim.

Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh,

What is the ruling on parents forcing their daughter to dorm in a girl's college in the States? Commuting is not possible at the moment because of the expensive rates and her parents cannot support her financially for buying tickets. Also, there is actually much fitnah on the train system (in New York), but still, the girl wants to commute rather than dorm because she has heard from some sources that it is haraam for her to do so on her campus. Can the mashaykh please help answer this question as soon as possible, as she wants to best please Allah in this situation.

jazakAllahu khairan.

(PS - how do i know when this question will be answered and where can i find the answer? can an admin please post that info)

Dear Noble Sheikh
I have read the opinion about buying and consuming meat from the people of the book in the west to be halaal. I am concerned about the harms of consuming GM food. Would it be halaal to consume organic meat from the people of the book, because I am in the west and cannot find organic halaal meat store?
Please clarify the rulings in depth for me.

Jazakallahu khairan wa barakallaahu fikum

Please provide a detailed ruling concerning buying and consuming meat from the people of the book in the West, and does it matter if the meat is organic or genetically altered?

BaarakAllahu feek yaa Shaykhanaa

Is it permissible for a brother who does not have any feelings towards the opposite sex to mix and intermingle with women and be friends with them? It is correct that this is OK due to the saying of Allah {…or those male attendants having no physical desire.} [Soorah an-Noor 24:31]? Please explain this matter to me clearly yaa Shaykhanaa.

[Abu Hajar]

Al-salam 'alaykum,

I've two questions.

1. Why did Shaykh ibn Jarir al-Tabari rahimahullah not take from Shaykh Ahmad ibn Hanbal rahimahullah in his Ikhtilaf, while they both lived in Bagdad?

2. Also Shaykh al-Tahawi and Shaykh al-Dabusi rahimahumullah didn't took from the opinions of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal in their Ikhtilaf. How come?

Wa salam

[ummzara]

Assalaamu alaikum ya Sheikh, may Allah (swt) preserve you.

Could you please tell me what is more important - a woman obeying her husband, which is fard, or her following the salafi manhaj and not straying into bid'a and baatil? My husband is a sincere Muslim, prays, fasts and loves his Deen, but he is not Salafi and refuses all Salafi Dawah. It causes friction between us when he wants me to spend time in mixed company (veiled of course) with his male and female relatives and friends (most of whom are Muslims in name only), and to mix with non-Muslims, and wants me to take photographs, and listen to music, and watch western television etc. He refuses to accept that all of this is haraam and when we argue about it, he reminds me of my obligation to obey and thus I end up having to commit some haraam. Either that or he remains unhappy at how strict I am and it affects our marriage. I am also worried that each of us will teach a different manhaj to our young children. Please advise me, Sheikh, this is a major problem for us. Jazahallahu khairan

Assalamualaikum

Which is more important? Obeying a non-salafi husband who encourages Fitnah or following the salafi manhaj and holding strong to the Quran and the Sunnah?

assalamu alaykum

Can you tell us Ya sheykhana if there is a hadeeth saheeh similar than the following? Especially the end of the hadeeth I found some other similar to it but not with the end (about bayt al-haram). And in which book may I find it.

[aboo_ubaydah]

As-salaamu 'alaikum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuhu.
May Allaah bless you, recently I have intended to go to Yemen or Mauritania to seek knowledge for the sake of Allaah. First, I tried to go to Madina, but I was not chosen at the Jamia Islamiyya in Madina, so I am un able to go there.
I have heard that in Mauritania there is a scholar by the name of Sheikh Muhammad Saalim wald ‘Udood ash-Shanqeetee, I would like to know if he is from ahlu sunnah. According to the sources on the internet hijra.net forum, it says that this sheikh "is recognized amongst those who know, to be the world’s leading grammarian, and a master of Fushaa, and to study with him is indeed a blessing for those who can benefit from it" and also the site says " He is the son of Sheikh Abdul Wadood, and his family follow in a long line of ‘Ulemaa of the Shanaaqeet Qabeelaa, having preserved the knowledge and tradition of the Salaf, via the oral tradition, something which Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) has bestowed upon the Shanqeetee tribes over the History of Islaam. His ‘aqeedah and manhaj is that of the Imaams of Sunnah, and his fiqh is mostly that of Imaam Maalik (radhiallaaho‘an), but as he is a Mujtahid in the madhab of Maalik, then it is normal to see him relying upon the authentic hadeeth, rather it may be said that he is more of an ibn Abdul Barr (rahimahullah) than ibn Rushd (rahimahullah), wal-hamdulillaah.
Also, he is the only person alive today that knows the 14,000 lined poem containing the Sharh of Mukhtasar Khaleel, amongst many ther texts, all preserved by the Will and Blessing of Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala)."
The books he teaches is: in ageedah he teaches ageedah tahawiyya, in hadeeth he teaches saheeh bukhari and saheeh muslim, and in figh he teaches text of Ibn Ashir, Imam al Akhdari, the Risala of Ibn Abee Zaid, Ashalul Masaalik, Nathamu Muqadimaati ibn Rushd, and the Mukhtasar of Sidi Khalil, As for grammar, they use the Ajrumiyyah, Mulhat al 'Iraab, Qatru Nada, and the Alfiyyah of Ibn Maalik.
Is this sheikh from ahlu sunnah, I am asking as I heard there are many ash'aris in Mauritania and I do not want me and myself end up taking ilm from them? and are these books upon the manhaj of the salaf?

May Allaah reward you good.

Seeking advice regarding studying in Mauritania particularly from a Sheikh Muhammad Saalim wald ‘Udood ash-Shanqeetee. Is the advice posted abut him on Hijrah.net reliable and how to know who are the scholars of ahlus sunnah and aqeedah salafiyyah in muaritania and keeping himself away from ashari scholars
