◾Does non-menstrual blood leakage from the vagina nullify wudhu?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 17th Rajab1441(12th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: Is 'istihaadah' (non-menstrual blood leakage from the vagina) from the nullifiers of wudhu?

📩🔸Answer:

Yes, the essence of it is that it is a nullifer from the nullifiers of wudhu.

However, the scholars - may Allah have mercy upon them - treat it with the same treatment as urinary incontinence (the leakage of urination) and flatulence (the incessant release of gas) etc, because this is something involuntary that cannot be suppressed.

Therefore a woman must wear protective padding and ignore what leaks after (making wudhu) because even if she were to go back to re-make wudhu it would not benefit her at all as the blood will leak a second time.

◾The Corona Virus: Wisdom, Cause & Solution as prescribed by The Qur’ān and Sunnah◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- stated on 21st Rajab1441( 16th March 2020):

Wisdom:

"Indeed Allah does not send down a plague except in order for the slave to return, repent and start again."

《وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
And We have certainly sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with loss of wealth and loss of health so thay they would humble themselves [to Us in supplication].

فَلَوْلَآ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا۟ وَلَٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing.

فَلَمَّا نَسُوا۟ مَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَٰبَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَرِحُوا۟ بِمَآ أُوتُوٓا۟ أَخَذْنَٰهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ
So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair.

فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ۚ وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 》
So the people that committed wrong were eliminated. And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

(Al-An'am 6:42-45)

"So it is upon the people of Islam not to forget what they have been reminded of, because Allah is certainly remininding us with this epidemic that there is a final abode and return to Allah (free is He from all imperfection and most high)"

Cause:

"It is necessary for us to know the cause, because once the cause is known there can be no surprises. What has afflicted us is only from sins, heedlessness and indifference."

(Ash-Shura 42:30)

《وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍ 》

And whatever afflicts you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.

“اللهم إنه ما نزل بلاء إلا بذنب، ولا يرفع إلا بتوبة “
Oh Allah, verily no affliction is sent down except due to sin and it is not lifted except by repentance.

Solution:

Wallahi, that which you are currently in fear of, the reason why you are shutting down your schools, government departments, masaajid, congregational prayers and society in general will not be lifted except by Allah

By the one whom there is no God beside; there is nothing that will lift it from you except you supplicating to Allah (free is He from all imperfection and most high) just like Allah said:

《وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ》
And We have certainly sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with loss of wealth and loss of health so thay they would humble themselves [to Us in supplication].

◾Can you limit conditional acts of worship to specific times?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 17th Rajab1441( 12th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: Is it permissible to make 'the sujood (prostration) of thankfulness' after all of the obligatory prayers?

📩🔸Answer:

(This is) a bid'ah - The sujood of thankfulness can only be connected to and is dependent upon a reason (to be thankful).

So whenever a reason to perform it arises, a person may make sujood as a result of it, but if there is no reason to then this sujood of thankfulness is not legislated.

If there is a reason to perform the sujood of thankfulness; he may perform it after the obligatory prayers or any other time for that matter, there is nothing to prevent this.

As for singling out (the time) after the obligatory prayers; we fear this may be from the newly introduced matters into the religion.

So do not limit it to just this time.

◾Is it correct to say 'sayyiduna Mohammed'? ﷺ◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 17th Rajab1441( 12th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: What is the ruling of the statement 'Sayyiduna (our Chief) Mohammad' ﷺ ?

📩🔸Answer:

There is nothing to prevent this outside of the prayer, such as to say "Our Sayyid Mohammad ﷺ said...". For he is the sayyid of the children of Adam as he has informed about himself.

[أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ
I am the sayyid of the children of Adam on the day of judgement with no pride. [1]

As for inside of the prayer; the term 'sayyid' in the tashahud is not authentic; so simply say:

[َأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ]
I testify that Mohammed is his slave and his messenger

And there is no need for you to say:
[َأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ سَيِّدَنَا مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ]
I testify that our sayyid Mohammed is his slave and messenger.

There is nothing to prevent this outside of the tashahud. However acts of worship and supplications are restricted (to evidence) and the term 'sayyid' has not been reported in the tashahud.

◾If multiple people are killed in a single accident does the one who caused it fast for each person individually or for them all collectively at once?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 17th Rajab1441( 12th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: How long does he who caused the death of three people in a car accident have to fast for?

📩🔸Answer:

He must fast for six months if he caused the death of all them and this fasting cannot be lifted under any circumstances.

It is only the 'deya' (financial compensation) that may be lifted if waived and not sought by those entitled to it (i.e. the family of the deceased).

If they do waive it, you remain obliged to fast for two months for each person that was accidentally killed [1], (A combined total of) six months.
______________________________________

[1] 《فَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍۖ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةً مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا 》
Then a compensation payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave. And whoever does not find [or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allah . And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

◾Can you sell food to non-muslims in the daytime during Ramadan?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 17th Rajab1441( 12th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: A man owns a restaurant in a non-muslim country in which he sells food. Is he sinful if he sells to non-muslims in the daytime during the month of Ramadan?

📩🔸Answer:

Yes (he is sinful). It is not permissible for him to sell to non-muslims in the daytime during the month of Ramadan and it is more befitting for him to close his restaurant at this time - except items other than food and drink, this is an entirely different matter. As for food and drink; then no (they cannot be sold).

He cannot sell them alcohol or pork in the daytime during the month of Ramadan or any other time for that matter and say "this is only for the non-muslims, we do not sell it to muslims". This is unacceptable.

He must honour this time, for it is indeed an honoured time. This is what we advise with; that he does not sell to them because they too will be held to account according to Islamic Law and are sinful for not complying to it; meaning they will be punished for failing to comply to it on the Day of Judgement.

《مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ 》
"What put you into Saqar (the Hell-Fire)?"

《قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ 》
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed

《 وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ》
Nor did we used to feed the poor.

《وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ 》
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

《 وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ 》
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

《حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ 》
Until death came to us"
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ

(Al-Muddaththir: 42-47)

However, they are not ordered by it until after (attaining) faith and (entering) Islam, so if they were to fulfil its obligations prior to this, it would not be accepted from them.

《وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَٰتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ》
And what prevents their expenditures from being accepted from them but that they have disbelieved in Allah and in His Messenger.

◾Is corona virus a valid reason not to pray in congregation?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 17th Rajab1441( 12th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: Is it permissible not to attend the obligatory congregational prayers due to fear of the corona virus?

📩🔸Answer:

Yes, it is OK not to attend if this virus has spread genuinely and on a large scale whereby leaving the home is dangerous.

It is unacceptable for a person to place himself in harms way and expose himself to the virus. Rather, he prays in his home and remains therein. He must not leave if he is likely to get infected.

For indeed, Islamic Law has authorised absence from the obligatory congregational prayers for reasons that are less than what has been mentioned.

This is permitted either:
1. If he is going to harm someone else
2. If he himself is going to be harmed.

(For example) If he eats garlic or an onion he will harm someone else; therefore he cannot attend. [1]

(Similarly) if he fears for his life due to an attacker that has threatened to kill him and is lying in wait, it is OK not to attend the obligatory congregational prayers. This is also the case for this aggressive virus.

Whoever eats onion and garlic and leek, cannot come near our masjid. For indeed, the angels are harmed by what harms the children of Adam.

◾Does the penalty of sexual intercourse during the daytime in Ramadan apply to anal sex?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 16th Rajab1441(11th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: Is it obligatory upon whoever has anal sex with his wife during the daytime in Ramadan to fulfil the expiation?

📩🔸Answer:

Yes, it is upon him to fulfil the expiation as well as repent from this offense. (Repent) for its occurrence at a forbidden time (i.e. the daytime in Ramadan) and its occurrence in a place (i.e. the anus) which is not a place of sowing seeds (i.e. producing offspring).

Allah says:

《نِسَآؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْ فَأْتُوا۟ حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْۖ 》
Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish.

(Al-Baqarah 2:223)

Look at the comparison; (a place of sowing of seed for you) meaning the place from which children and offspring are derived, benefit from it. As for the (other) place; Allah has forbidden it from you and from it is no fruit nor offspring, rather it is a place that is forbidden.

《فَأْتُوا۟ حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُم》
So come to your place of cultivation however you wish.

(Al-Baqarah 2:223)

(Meaning) from any direction and any time you wish - but you must do so from the front and not from behind. So it is upon him to fulfil the expiation and hasten to repentance.

He may also be sanctioned. If the ruler sees fit, he may sanction him and if he still continues to indulge in anal sex and its like then they (i.e. he and is wife) are to be separated. As for (implementing) the penalty of fornication; then no. He is to be sanctioned.

As for is the penalty of fornication applied to an unmarried man that has anal sex with a woman; this is a matter of dispute amongst the scholars.

The Hanbali scholars view that the penalty of fornication should be implemented; this was also the conclusion of Sa'dee - may Allah have mercy upon him; that the penalty of fornication should be applied to whoever has anal sex with a woman that is not his wife.

However the majority of scholars state that this is not fornication so the penalty of fornication cannot be implemented because the penalty of fornication can only be implemented when the penis disappears into the vagina, not the anus.

Similarly, they differed upon the penalty of sodomy. (Some stated) the penalty of sodomy is only applied when between a male and a male or if it is done by a person with a member of the same gender.

On the other hand there are those from amongst the scholars that stated that because the Prophet ﷺ called anal sex between a man and a woman 'minor sodomy' the penalty of sodomy should be applied.

◾Can you pray with your eyes closed?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 16th Rajab1441( 11th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: What is the ruling of someone praying with their eyes closed?

📩🔸Answer:

Speech upon this has already preceded, which is that:

▪ The Prophet ﷺ outpaced an approaching sheep with a brisk walk whilst praying. [1]

▪ Strangled the Shaytaan (during his prayer). [2]

▪ Said:
["اذْهَبُوا بِخَمِيصَتِي هَذِهِ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ وَائْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيَّةِ أَبِي جَهْمٍ]
[Take this garment of mine to Abou Jahm and bring me the blanket of Abou Jahm] [3]

So he did not close his eyes, rather, he looked and as a result:
["أَلْهَتْنِي عَنْ صَلاَتِي"]
It distracted me from my prayer

So he got rid of it, sent it away and came with another one. All of the aforementioned show that he did not close his eyes, on the contrary, he looked.

Having said that; from the scholars are those that view closing the eyes to be OK if there is something to be gained from doing so, such as if there are decorations in front of him that may distract him if he looks at them.

There is nothing wrong with this view as there may be some ocassions where one may laugh, were he to look at the antics of children during the prayer. So if closes his eyes in order to prevent that then it is an entirely different matter.

As for closing the eyes with nothing to be gained, rather he wants to achieve khushoo (submissive concentration and humility) and so overexerts himself in order to so; this is inapproriate. The Prophet ﷺ did not close his eyes yet had the most khushoo, which he attained without closing his eyes.

◾Is fasting broken by semen released outside of sexual intercourse?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 16th Rajab 1441( 11th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: If a man looked at a beardless young male and something was emitted from his private part, is his fast broken or not?

📩🔸Answer:

According to the majority of scholars; fasting is broken by the release of semen because its release is provoked by sexual arousal and it has been reported in the hadith alqudsi (that Allah said):

[ يَتْرُكُ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي.]
He leaves aside his food, drink and sexual desire for my sake. [1]

And this individual has not left aside his sexual desire for the sake of Allah. Nor has the one who masturbates or deliberately looks at what he is aroused by whilst taking pleasure in it before ejaculating - after failing to take necessary care (to avoid looking in the first instance). This invalidates his fast according to the majority of scholars.

However that which is more apparent is that it does not break his fast, although the sin of looking at this haraam remains upon him.

As for (the release of) mathee (pre-seminal fluid) and wadee; they do not break his fast.

◾Is it permissible to wear red clothing?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 15 Rajab1441(10th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: Is it permissible to wear red clothing?

📩🔸Answer:

This is a matter of disagreement.

Among the scholars are those that do not view it to be permissible to wear pure red clothing without streaks.

As for the hadith of AlBaraa (may Allah be pleased with him)

[رَأَيْتُهُ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ]
I saw him (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ) in a red garment. [1]

(They say) this is understood to have had some streaks and therefore not pure red, rather it was a mixture of other colours. As for pure red; its wearing is unacceptable.

The correct view is that it is permissible to wear red due to the (aforementioned) hadith of Al-Baraa (may Allah be pleased with him)

As for this unconvincing speculation; that it is possible it contained streaks and 'so and so' is also possible; none of this is based upon any evidence. So no condemnation should be made upon whoever wears red.

Having said; in the likes of these contentious matters; one should avoid that which is in contention. Even though, in terms of its permissibility it is permissible.

As for mayathir (saddlecloth)

[نَهَانَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْمَيَاثِرِ ]
The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade us from using the red mayathir [2]

This is based upon it being silk. For indeed (the term) 'mayathir' is used for silk and it is not permissible to wear silk that is red or any other colour.

Al-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy upon him) in his treatise inside Fath Al-Rabaani spoke about this subject in remarkably fine and firm speech; within which he responded to Ibn Qayum and other scholars who forbade the wearing of red clothing, despite the fact the Prophet ﷺ undoubtedly wore red.

◾Can you supplicate to Allah for the destruction of others?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 10th Rajab1441( 15th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: What is the ruling of (making) the statement "May Allah destroy you from beneath your feet"

📩🔸Answer:

If it is a disbeliever that deserves to be supplicated against:

"May Allah destroy the Houthis from beneath their feet"

"May Allah destroy America from beneath its feet"

Meaning: completely annihilate them from their very foundation, remove and expel them; There is nothing to prevent this.

But if it is to someone that does not deserve to be supplicated against with this supplication then we fear this supplication will rebound upon you.

Thus, it is unacceptable to supplicate against someone unbefitting to be supplicated against with the likes of this supplication.

As for if it is someone deserving of "May Allah destroy you from beneath your feet" to be said to them, such as a disbeliever, then there is nothing to prevent supplication being made for their annihilation.

We advise you to do without it if you are well-off. Leave it for someone else and abstain from it; this is what I advise you with.

There is no doubt that (the acceptance of) voluntary charity is permissible for big business men and owners of wealth; a consesus has been relayed concerning this.

Al-Nawawi and others relayed the consensus but mentioned afterwards that it is more appropriate to abstain from this charity.

This is what I advise our brothers; that they do without this charity if they are not in need of it. Similarly, if he is able to pay his own rent, he (should) pay his own rent.

This is what I advise him with and this is from helping one another.

◾Are the Prophet's ﷺ family members prohibited from the use of public goods and services as well as charity?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 15th Rajab1441( 10th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: Is it permissible for members of the Prophet's family ﷺ (in this case his descendants) to use medicine affiliated to temporary medical centres (often set up by philanthropists or charitable organisations) due to the fact that these centres are free of charge?

📩🔸Answer:

There is no reason why not.

(Even) according to the view that voluntary charity is not permissible (the Prophet's ﷺ family members ) this has certainly now become free for the public use of all muslims and he is one of them. Therefore it is OK for the Prophet's ﷺ family members to make use of these medicines and free medical centres.

This is also the case for water coolers that are made available for all muslims. There is evidently nothing wrong with drinking from them whether they are in the masjid or on the pavement. Shayk Al-Islam (may Allah have mercy upon him) alluded to something of this nature; they are not from what the Prophet's ﷺ family members are barred from.

Many - rather most of the scholars, only view obligatory charity to be haram for them. As for voluntary charity; it is permissible. Shayk Al-Islam (may Allah have mercy upon him) chose this view; that voluntary charity is permissible for the Prophet's ﷺ family members and that what they are prohibited from is (only) obligatory charity.

(However), the hadiths, as you know, are unrestricted (to obligatory charity) with no distinction of this being made from that.

This view; that they are to refrain from voluntary charity (as well as obligatory charity) is safer. Even if the majority of scholars are upon the view that it is permissible and it is the choice of this Imam and this pontiff, Shayk Al-Islam (may Allah have mercy upon him).

As for the likes of these things, there appears to be nothing wrong with (in their usage)

◾Does vaginal discharge nullify wudhu?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 15th Rajab1441( 10th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: Does the release of discharge from a womans vagina during the prayer invalid the prayer and wudhu?

📩🔸Answer:

This is a matter of disagreement amongst the scholars. They disagreed upon whether it is a nullifier of wudhu and whether it is unclean.

A group of scholars do not view this moistness within the vagina, to be from the nullifiers of wudhu.

I believe Shayk AlUthaymeen - may Allah have mercy upon him - in his final works concluded that it is not a nullifier.

It appears not to be from the nullifiers of wudhu, especially if it is compulsive, and even if it is not; it does not harm her (wudhu).

◾When is it permissible to kill animals?◾

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy- may Allah preserve him- was asked the following question on 14th Rajab1441(9th March 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: Is it permissible to kill a cat?


📩🔸Answer:

The general 'rule of thumb' is that it is not permissible except from the perspective of 'fending off an aggressor'.

So if this cat is hostile and causes you harm in your home as well as breaks items and causes choas inside the home - and there is no other way to stop or deter it from this except by killing; in this case its killing would be viewed under the perspective of 'fending off an aggressor'.

But the general 'rule of thumb' is that alternative approaches must be attempted before reaching the (last) option of killing, such as expelling it, if possible.

If you have given up hope of these (other alternatives) then it is OK to kill this animal in order to remove its harm.

So it is permissible and there is no prohibitive evidence (that states otherwise).
