Ask About Islam 5

SK what are your views on abortion?

Also whether the girl was raped or not.

[onebobby5]

Also, how do you go against Richard Dawkins' logic here?

1. The creation of the world is the most marvelous achievement imaginable.
2. The merit of an achievement is the product of (a) its intrinsic quality, and (b) the ability of its creator.
3. The greater the disability (or handicap) of the creator, the more impressive the achievement.
4. The most formidable handicap for a creator would be nonexistence.
5. Therefore if we suppose that the universe is the product of an existent creator we can conceive a greater being - namely, one who created everything while not existing.
6. An existing God therefore would not be 'a being greater than which nothing greater can be conceived' because an even more formidable and incredible creator would be a God which did not exist.
Ergo:
7. God does not exist.

I have my own argument against it which I think is pretty solid, but I'll post that later. Some atheists think this is an excellent "proof" but I beg to differ.
If you want a hint to how I dissolve this argument, scroll down and highlight the white text. If you're using a black skin on these boards... whatever



I attack premise #4. I do not believe that the most formidable handicap for a creator would be nonexistence; I can think of a handicap that is even greater which thereby nullifies premises #5 and #6. Those premises will be nullified because the handicap does not have to do with existence at all (those premises are based on the handicap proposed in premis #4).

this is for one person, but what's the countries ruling

are there people whose job is to make sure they dont hurt anyone, or those who'll make sure they dont get too many in certain parts of the city etc. are there asylums for dogs?

It's the government's job to get rid of harmful or dangerous animals if people complain.

SK what are your views on abortion?

Also whether the girl was raped or not.

Abortion is not permissible except in specific cases:

1) Mother's life is at risk
2) Modern scholars have permitted it in cases of confirmed severe congenital abnormalities
3) Modern scholars have permitted it in cases of rape where the mother is suffering severe psychological distress, however the more noble position is to raise the child as a righteous Muslim

The abortion would need to take place prior to 120 days of gestation in cases 2 and 3.

[SYRIANKID]

SK, what's the view on astral projection?

According to the Qur'an, the soul leaves the body during sleep. We don't, however, have further information or when or whether the soul leaves the body at any other time, or at will, until death.

It is He Who doth take your souls by night and hath knowledge of all that ye have done by day; by day doth He raise you up again; that a term appointed be fulfilled; in the end unto Him will be your return then will He show you the truth of all that ye did. [Qur'an 6:60]

It is God that takes the souls at death: and those that die not He takes during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back from returning to life, but the rest He sends to their bodies for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect. [Qur'an 39:42]

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When oath of allegiance has been taken for two caliphs, kill the one for whom the oath was taken later

He's among the famous modernist scholars.

To put it briefly, if by "democracy" he means that Islam permits a system of government with any laws that conflict with Islam, then he's lying. There's nothing wrong with deliberating with people to get popular decisions or to democratically elect government representatives. But it's not compatible with Islam to govern by non-Islamic laws or to participate/support any candidate who does.

In the history of Islam, those fatawa were mentioned in the context of the Caliphate and Emirates, where you had implemented Islamic law and a Muslim ruler. The Muslim ruler was sometimes sinful, even oppressive, but there were not obvious signs of disbelief to his leadership.

In today's context, the following environment exists:

1) In countries where you see uprisings, Islamic law is not only not applied, it is contradicted at a government level
2) There is no evidence that even some leaders of Muslim countries are Muslim by religion or action
3) Government laws actually prohibit the practice of Islam in some cases e.g. it is prohibited to pray in the syrian army, and your life is in danger for praying
4) Acts of verbal dissent and civil disobedience were reciprocated with rape, murder, and grotesque torture
5) As you see below, scholars are clear that physical revolts are permissible in the case of protecting one's religion and life. The only guideline is that the benefit must outweigh the harm i.e. if there is a reasonable chance of success this should be pursued.

Hi SK,

Is it true that one shouldn't eat with their shirt off, or with just their shoulders uncovered? I don't know the rule on this. I'm talking about just being in my own home. Sometimes I'm too lazy to put a shirt on, but it just doesn't feel right eating shirtless. My aunt told me I'm supposed to have my at least my shoulders covered when I eat.

Thanks!

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

None of you should pray in a single cloth, none of which is covering his shoulders. [Bukhari]

For prayer I definitely know it's disliked to pray without having your shoulders covered with something i.e. tanktops or shirtless.

So Fard is obligatory
Sunnah is good to do but not sinful if omitted (optional)
What exactly does witr mean and since it is wajib (necessary) how come we can omit it without hindering our salah?

I thought maybe there would be another that says it. About 3 of my family members have told me not to eat shirtless... then again, they also tell me not to clip my nails at night :/

[BigTruckGuy3500]

Who has been for Hajj or Umrah? I was planning on going with my parents for Umrah while travelling to the motherland to visit family, but I had some questions.

1) How physically taxing is it? Reason I ask is my father has somewhat bad knees and has been feeling sick for several months now. Doc isn't sure what the deal is.
2) I heard there may be some running involved, at least in the part where you throw the stones, is that true? Again, don't think my father can run without hurting his knees.
3) Do you have to make a trip with the sole intention of Umrah, or can you do it as part of a bigger trip?
4) I've heard varying accounts of how long it takes. I've heard 3 days, I have heard 7 days, and someone even said I could probably finish it in one day.
5) When is the least crowded time of the year to go? I hear things can get kind of pushy during the more crowded times.

Anything else you think I should know?

Thanks

Wajib is a term used in Hanafi jurisprudence to mean that the sunnah was so consistently practiced by the Prophet (pbuh), it's as close to being fardh as possible without having been specifically declared so. In Hanafi jurisprudence, leaving a wajib (and similar sunnah mu'akadahs) is considered sinful.

I'm not sure where that idea comes from, so it's best to ask the people who mention that to present their evidence.

No doubt there are statements like this from the Prophet (pbuh):

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

Avoid being naked, for with you are those who never leave you (the Angels) except when you are relieving yourselves and when a man has intercourse with his wife; so observe modesty before them and honor them [Tirmidhi]

But this refers to exposing your nakedness even when alone, and a man's shoulders are not part of his nakedness.

1) It's a lot of walking in sandals, I can't comment on how tough that is for everyone as I was a young man when I did it, but there's plenty of old and obese people who do it
2) Not running, just fast walking sometimes, but you can walk slow if necessary
3) Well you would intend Umrah when you go to Makkah, the rest of the trip has other purposes
4) You can do several Umrahs in one day. It's the Hajj which takes several days
5) The most crowded times are Dhul Hijjah (the month of Hajj), then Ramadan, then the colder months. Anything outside of that tends to be good.

Sup brah. Ja sam iz Doboja i dolazim u svoju Bosnu ovaj Maj

I only come back to Bosnia every summer/winter, so I can't really have to much of an opinion on this since I don't live there, but I completely agree with everything you say. I would rather have a unified MUSLIM Bosnia then letting all the Cetniks roam free while we're out here having problems with our own people. My dad can't even go to some places over here because he will be killed. The really enemy is not the Wahabi's, they're the ones that just want to protect us and ensure our safety.

When my parents save enough money they hope to move back to Bosnia soon when I finish college... and hopefully I can come with them!

Where you live now brother??

Insallah we will get back what is ours.

There are many hadiths about this. If there is no damning proof, then the husband and wife would choose to divorce. It's very natural for a man to be angry in such a situation. But he should be recollected by the fact that God exposed the true nature of his wife to him, so he can decide how to proceed with clear information and can marry a pious woman instead.

Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi:
Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim bin Adi Al-Ansari and asked, "O 'Asim! Tell me, if a man sees his wife with another man, should he kill him, whereupon you would kill him in Qisas, or what should he do? O 'Asim! Please ask Allah's Apostle about that." 'Asim asked Allah's Apostle about that. Allah's Apostle disliked that question and considered it disgraceful. What 'Asim heard from Allah's Apostle was hard on him. When he returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and said "O 'Asim! What did Allah's Apostle say to you?" 'Asim said, "You never bring me any good. Allah's Apostle disliked to hear the problem which I asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not leave the matter till I ask him about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Allah's Apostle who was in the midst of the people and said, "O Allah's Apostle! If a man finds with his wife another man, should he kill him, whereupon you would kill him (in Qisas): or otherwise, what should he do?" Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has revealed something concerning the question of you and your wife. Go and bring her here." So they both carried out the judgment of Lian, while I was present among the people (as a witness). When both of them had finished, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now keep my wife with me, then I have told a lie". Then he pronounced his decision to divorce her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him to do so. (Ibn Shihab said, "That was the tradition for all those who are involved in a case of Lian." [Bukhari]

Narrated 'Abdullah:
An Ansari man accused his wife (of committing illegal sexual intercourse). The Prophet made both of them takes the oath of Lian, and separated them from each other (by divorce).

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Hilal bin Umaiyya accused his wife of illegal sexual intercourse and came to the Prophet to bear witness (against her), (taking the oath of Lian). The Prophet was saying, "Allah knows that either of you is a liar. Will anyone of you repent (to Allah)?" Then the lady got up and gave her witness.

Narrated Ibn Juraij:
Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the tradition related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl bin Sad, the brother of Bani Sa'idi He said, "An Ansari man came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! If a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what should he do?' So Allah revealed concerning his affair what is mentioned in the Holy Quran about the affair of those involved in a case of Lian. The Prophet said, 'Allah has given His verdict regarding you and your wife.' So they carried out Lian in the mosque while I was present there. When they had finished, the man said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now keep her with me as a wife then I have told a lie about her. Then he divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him, when they had finished the Lian process. So he divorced her in front of the Prophet ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their case, it became a tradition that a couple involved in a case of Lian should be separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant then, and later on her son was called by his mother's name. The tradition concerning their inheritance was that she would be his heir and he would inherit of her property the share Allah had prescribed for him." Ibn Shihab said that Sahl bin Sad As'Saidi said that the Prophet said (in the above narration), "If that lady delivers a small red child like a lizard, then the lady has spoken the truth and the man was a liar, but if she delivers a child with black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has spoken the truth." Then she delivered it in the shape one would dislike (as it proved her guilty).
