Should he meet the needs of his kaafir neighbour?

Should he meet the needs of his kaafir neighbour?
If I have an non Muslim neighbour and he asks me for something, should I help him?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

That depends on what is customary; if it is customary for
neighbours to meet one another’s needs, such as if one neighbour is going to
the marketplace and his neighbours say to him: “Bring me such and such” –
fruit or food and the like, then there is nothing wrong with doing that for
his kaafir neighbour, because that is part of honouring one’s neighbour, and
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever
believes in Allaah and the Last Day, let him honour his neighbour.” 

But if that is not customary, then he should see what is
best. End quote.

Can gifts be given to a kaafir to soften his heart towards Islam

Can gifts be given to a kaafir to soften his heart towards Islam?
What is the ruling on giving unbelievers money or gifts to soften their hearts towards Islam?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

There is nothing wrong with that – i.e., there is nothing
wrong with giving gifts or money or accommodation to soften his heart
towards Islam, but it should be noted that such actions should only be done
when appropriate, i.e., the person should be one who it is hoped will become
Muslim. But if he is one of the leaders of kufr for whom there is no hope
that he may become Muslim, then they should not be given anything, unless it
is given in order to ward off their harm. End quote. 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) 

 

Al-Ijaabaat ‘ala As’ilat al-Jaaliyaat (1/25, 26).

Staying in a kaafir country where there is no community or emosque

Staying in a kaafir country where there is no community or emosque
If a Muslim is able to practice his religion openly in a kaafir country where he is staying for work, but there is no mosque or (Muslim) community, is he sinning thereby?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly: 

The evidence indicates that
it is haraam to settle among the mushrikeen, and it is obligatory to migrate
from the kaafir country to a Muslim country if one is able to do that.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Verily, as for those
whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they
stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for
them), they (angels) say (to them): “In what (condition) were you?” They
reply: “We were weak and oppressed on the earth.” They (angels) say: “Was
not the earth of Allaah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?” Such
men will find their abode in Hell — what an evil destination!”

[al-Nisa’ 4:97]. 

The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I have nothing to do with any Muslim
who settles among the mushrikeen.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (2645) and classed
as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. 

This is the general basic
principle: otherwise it is permissible to go to those countries in cases of
need, such as to do business, study and so on, so long as one is able to
practise Islam openly. 

But if it is not possible
to practise Islam openly, then it is haraam to remain there, and one must
migrate from there if possible. 

See also the answer to
question no. 13363

Secondly: 

What is meant by practising
Islam openly is proclaiming Tawheed, and disavowing shirk, and establishing
the symbols of Islam without fear. Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem Aal
al-Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Please tell us of the
meaning of the hadeeths: “Whoever lives with a mushrik and mixes with him is
like him” and “I have nothing to do with any Muslim who settles among the
mushrikeen.” 

He replied: 

“Whoever lives with a
mushrik and mixes with him is like him” and “I have nothing to do with any
Muslim who settles among the mushrikeen.” These two hadeeths contain a stern
warning and emphatically forbid living with the mushrikeen and mixing with
them. They also indicate that it is obligatory to migrate from the land of
shirk to the land of Islam. This applies to the one who is not able to
practise his religion openly. As for the one who is able to practise his
religion openly, he is not obliged to migrate, rather it is mustahabb in his
case, but it may not be mustahabb if his remaining among them serves a
religious purpose such as calling them to Tawheed and the Sunnah, and
warning them against shirk and bid’ah in addition to being able to practise
his religion openly.  

Practising the religion
openly does not only refer to praying and minor issues of religion and
avoiding haraam things such as riba, zina and so on. Rather practising the
religion openly means proclaiming Tawheed and disavowing the ways of the
mushrikeen, such as associating others with Allaah in worship and other
kinds of kufr and misguidance. End quote from Fataawa al-Shaykh Muhammad
ibn Ibraaheem (1/77). 

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan
(may Allaah preserve him) was asked: What is the ruling on one who fears the
aggression of the kuffaar and mushrikeen, and shows approval of some of
their evil actions for fear of them, and not because he agrees with or
approves of what they do? He replied: It is not permissible for the Muslim
to show approval of the kuffaar at the expense of his religious commitment,
or to agree with their actions and deeds, because their actions may be kufr,
shirk and major sins, so it is not permissible for the Muslim to agree with
what they do or to join them in that of his own accord, rather what he must
do is to practise his religion openly. 

And it is not permissible
for him to live with the kuffaar and stay in their land unless he is able to
practise his religion openly, such as enjoining what is good and forbidding
what is evil, and calling to the way of Allaah, and that is what is meant by
practising Islam openly. If he cannot do that, then he must migrate to the
Muslim lands from the kaafir land, and not stay there at the expense of his
religious commitment and belief. End quote from al-Muntaqa (1/254). 

Practicing one’s religion
openly in this manner is not usually possible for the one who lives alone in
these countries, or with a small community of Muslims. 

Even if we assume that you
are able to practice your religion openly, then staying isolated from the
Muslims obviously has its bad effects on you, your family and children. It
is known that there are generations of Muslims who have lost their religion,
language and values because of staying in those countries, where you do not
hear the adhaan, attend the prayers in congregation or see the believers,
and kufr surrounds them on all sides and evils are common and are assailing
these Muslim communities from all directions. 

Hence we advise you to flee
for the sake of your religion and to protect yourself and those who are with
you, and move to a Muslim country or to a place where there are a lot of
Muslims, and you can pray Jumu’ah and prayers in congregation with them, and
broadcast the adhaan openly, and manifest the symbols of Islam. 

We present to you advice
written by Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) that is
appropriate to this topic. He said in a letter addressed to a Muslim who was
living in Italy: 

With regard to your letter
in which you say that you are a young Muslim man living in Italy and that
there are many young Muslim men there and that most of them responded to the
crusaders’ wishes by keeping far away from the religion of Islam and its
noble teachings, so most of them do not pray and they have bad morals and do
evil deeds which they regard as permissible, and other things that you
mention in your letter…  

I advise you that living in
a land in which shirk and kufr, and Christianity and other religions of kufr
are prevalent, is not permissible, whether you are staying there for work,
business, study or some other purpose, because Allaah says (interpretation
of the meaning):  

“Verily, as for those
whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they
stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for
them), they (angels) say (to them): ‘In what (condition) were you?’ They
reply: ‘We were weak and oppressed on the earth.’ They (angels) say: ‘Was
not the earth of Allaah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?’ Such
men will find their abode in Hell — what an evil destination!

98. Except the weak ones
among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to
direct their way.

99. These are they whom
Allaah is likely to forgive them, and Allaah is Ever Oft-Pardoning,
Oft-Forgiving”

[al-Nisa’ 4:97-99]  

And because the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I have nothing to do with
any Muslim who settles among the mushrikeen.”  

This settling among the
kuffaar is not done by one who knows the real meaning of Islam and faith, or
who knows what Allaah has enjoined upon the Muslims, or who is pleased with
Allaah as his Lord,  Islam as his religion, and Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) as his Prophet and Messenger.  

Being pleased and content
with that means loving Allaah, giving precedence to seeking His pleasure,
being very concerned about following His religion and keeping company with
His close friends, which means that one must completely disavow and keep far
away from the kaafirs and their lands. rather faith as defined in the
Qur'aan and Sunnah cannot coexist with these evils. It is narrated in a
saheeh report from Jareer ibn ‘Abd-Allaah al-Bajali (may Allaah be pleased
with him) that he said: O Messenger of Allaah, accept my oath of allegiance
and stipulate conditions. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Worship Allaah, establish regular prayer, pay
zakaah, be sincere towards the Muslims and keep away from the mushrikeen.”
Narrated by Abu ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Nasaa’i. It is also narrated in a saheeh
report that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: “I have nothing to do with any Muslim who settles among the
mushrikeen.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Allaah will not accept any deed from a mushrik after he becomes Muslim
until he leaves the mushrikeen.”  

The scholars have clearly
stated that this is not allowed, and have warned against it, and stated that
it is obligatory to migrate if one is able, except for a man who has
knowledge and insight, and goes there to call people to Allaah and bring
people forth from darkness into light, and explain the teachings of Islam to
them. A verse in Soorat al-Tawbah –  (interpretation of the meaning):   

“Say: If your fathers,
your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have
gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which
you delight are dearer to you than Allaah and His Messenger, and striving
hard and fighting in His Cause, then wait until Allaah brings about His
Decision (torment). And Allaah guides not the people who are Al‑Faasiqoon
(the rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)”

[al-Tawbah 9:24]
–   

indicates that seeking
worldly gains is not a legitimate shar’i excuse, rather the one who does
that is a faasiq (rebellious evildoer) who is subject to the warning of not
being guided if these matters, or some of them, are dearer to him than
Allaah and His Messenger, and jihad for the sake of Allaah. What good can
there be in seeing shirk and other evils and keeping quiet about them, or
even doing them, as has happened to some of those whom you mentioned who are
supposedly Muslim?  

If the Muslim who settles
there claims that he has some worldly aims such as study, business or work,
that is even worse.  

In the Book of Allaah there
is a stern warning against merely failing to migrate (hijrah), as in the
verses of Soorat al-Nisa’ quoted above, where Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning): “Verily, as for those whom the angels take (in death) while
they are wronging themselves”. So how about the one who travels to a kaafir
land and agrees to settle there? As you mentioned, the scholars (may Allaah
have mercy on them) forbade settling and going to a land where the Muslim
will not be able to practise his religion openly. The one who are there for
study, business or work come under the same ruling as the one who settles
there, if they are not able to practise their religion openly and they are
able to migrate.  

As for the claim of some of
them that they hate them and despise them, yet they are settling in their
land, that is not sufficient, rather it is haraam to travel and settle there
for many reasons, including the following:  

1 –  It is not possible to
practise the religion openly in a way that means one has discharged one’s
duties fully.  

2 – The texts and clear
statements of the scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) indicate that if
a person does not know his religion with its evidence and proof, and he is
not able to defend it and ward off the specious arguments of the kaafirs, it
is not permissible for him to travel to their land.  

3 – One of the conditions
of it being permissible to travel to their land is that one should be safe
from the fitnah of their power, control, specious arguments and attractions,
and be safe from imitating them or being influenced by their actions.  

4 – Blocking the means that
may lead to shirk is one of the most important principles of Islam.
Undoubtedly what you mention in your letter about things that happen with
Muslim youth who settle in these lands is the result of their staying in the
land of kufr. They should be steadfast in adhering to their religion,
practising it openly, following its commands, heeding its prohibitions, and
calling others to it, until they are able to migrate from the land of shirk
to a Muslim land.  

Allaah is the One Whom we
ask to set straight all your affairs and to bless you with understanding of
His religion and make you steadfast in following it. May He help us and you
and all the Muslims to do all that He loves and that pleases Him, and to
protect us and you and all the Muslims against things that may lead us
astray and against the tricks of the shaytaan. May He help us to do all that
is good, and support His religion, and make His word supreme, and reform the
leaders of the Muslims and bless them with understanding of His religion,
and help them to rule according to the sharee’ah of Allaah in their lands,
and refer to it for judgement, and be content with it and beware of that
which goes against it, for He is able to do that. Peace be upon you and the
Mercy of Allaah and His blessings.  

End quote from Majmoo’
Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (9/403).  

We ask Allaah to guide you,
make things easy for you and help you to find that which is good wherever it
may be. 

And Allaah knows best.

His mother doesn’t practise Islam

His mother doesn’t practise Islam
My mother was raised as a Christian and does use liqueur on occasion discuss it with her but she will not refrain from this practice. Besides this many other unislamic practices are also done, for instance all food stuff is not halaal with the result these same utensils are used to prepare food for me i am under the impression that this is not permissible. Now I am considering leaving home since this is not something i am in favour of. Also I intend to leave country some time in future (IN-SHA ALLAH) because i cannot go for namaaz as regularly as i must.


In short i want to live as a Muslim but as I live in a westernized country it is difficult to live as a Muslim should.


 

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

If your mother is a Christian then you have to call her to
Islam with wisdom and beautiful preaching. Tell her about the beauties of
Islam and its characteristics and beliefs. Explain to her the falseness of
the Christian belief in the divinity of Jesus (peace be upon him). You can
also refer to the questions in the
Da’wah to Non-Muslims
section of this website, so that you can convince her, as well as reading
some books which speak of the falseness of Christian doctrines.  

But if your mother is a Muslim, then you have to call her to
give up sin and to repent from it, especially drinking alcohol. Tell her the
evidence from the Qur’aan and Sunnah which proves that it is haraam, and
that when a command comes from Allaah or His Messenger (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), the believer has to hear and obey, and
hasten to follow the command even if that is contrary to his own whims and
desires. 

Make her fear Allaah and His punishment in this world and in
the Hereafter. 

You have to be gentle and kind to her, tell her that you are
eager that she should be guided and saved from Hell. 

Perhaps this will be the means of guiding her to the truth. 

With regard to the cooking utensils with which haraam foods
are cooked, if there are others available then it is preferable for you to
eat from those. But if no others are available, then you can wash them with
water and then eat from them. 

It was narrated that Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani (may Allaah be
pleased with him) said: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, I live in the land
of the People of the Book. Please advise me with regard to their vessels.’
He said, ‘Do not eat from them, unless you cannot find anything else, in
which case wash them and eat from them.’” (Agreed upon. Buloogh al-Maraam,
p. 23, hadeeth no. 24). 

With regard to your thinking of leaving home or leaving your
country, that may be better if you know that your family will not respond to
your words and if staying with them will damage your religious commitment in
such a way that you cannot do what Allaah commands.  

But if you know or you think it most likely that after you
call them to Allaah they will respond, then you must stay with them. 

Imam al-Bukhaari included a chapter in his Saheeh entitled:
Baab al-Inbisaat ila’l-Naas (Chapter on being friendly towards people). Ibn
Mas’ood said: “Mix with people but beware of damaging your religious
commitment.”

(Saheeh al-Bukhaari, 5/2270).  

But if you know from your experience with your family that
this will be futile, then leave them and go and live in a place where you
can practice the rituals of Islam. 

We ask Allaah to make you steadfast in your religious
commitment and to keep you safe. We ask Him to guide your mother and all
your family to His religion so that the religion of Allaah will be the
dearest thing to you all.

My mothers rights over me my rights over her, and the extent of my independence

My mother’s rights over me, my rights over her, and the extent of my independence
I have a few questions concerning parents


1-What right does my Mother have over me?


2-What right do I have over my mother?


3-What do I have the freedom to do (which is Halal or Mubah, Ofcourse.) without my Mother having the right to stop me?


4-When does the Father have the final say in a matter?


I love my mother very, very, very much. She is very over protective, and sometimes I feel like I'm in chains. I know she is doing it out of extreme love for me. How can I tell her that I need a little choice of my own in life.

 



 

Praise be to Allaah. 

1 – The mother’s rights over her child

 The mother has many major rights over her child.
These rights are innumerable, but we may mention the following:

 (a)             
Love and respect, as much as possible, because she is the most
deserving of people of her son’s good companionship.

 Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: “A man came to the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, who among the
people is most deserving of my good companionship?’ He said, ‘Your
mother.’ The man asked, ‘Then who?’ He said, ‘Your mother.’ He
asked, then who?’ He said, ‘Your mother.’ He asked, ‘Then who?’
He said, ‘Your father.’”

 She is the one who made her womb a vessel for you
and nourished you from her breast. You have no option but 
to love her. The fitrah (natural inclination of man) calls you to
love her. Love between mothers and children and children and mothers is
something that Allaah has instilled even in animals, so it is even more
befitting for the children of human beings, and for Muslims in particular.

 (b)            
Taking care of her and looking after her affairs if she needs that;
this is a debt that rests on the child’s shoulders. Did she not take
care of him when he was a child and stay up with him at night and bear it
all with patience?

 Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And
We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother
bears him with hardship. And she brings him forth with hardship…”
[al-Ahqaaf 46:15]

 This even
take precedence over jihaad if there is a conflict between the two.

 ‘Abd-Allaah
ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: “A
man came to the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
and asked him for permission to participate in jihaad. The Messenger of
Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him,
‘Are your parents alive?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Then your
jihaad is with them.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2842; Muslim, 2549)

 (c)             
Not offending them or
saying or doing anything that they dislike.

 Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):

“say
not to them a word of disrespect” [al-Israa’ 17:23]

 If Allaah
has forbidden us even to say “uff”
[paraphrased as “a word of disrespect” in the translation of the
meaning of the aayah] to our parents, then how about someone who hits
them?!

 (d)            
Spending on her if
she is in need  and does not
have a husband who can spend on her or if her husband is poor; for the
righteous, spending on one’s mother and feeding her is more precious
than feeding their own children.

 Ibn
‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger
of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Three
men went out walking and rain began to fall on them. They entered a cave
in a mountain, then a rock fell (blocking the entrance to the cave). They
said to one another, Pray to Allaah by virtue of the best deeds that you
have done. One of them said, O Allaah, my parents were elderly and I used
to go out and tend to my flocks, then I would milk them and bring the milk
to my parents for them to drink from it, then I would give some to my
children. One night I came home late and found them sleeping. I did not
want to wake them, and the children were crying at my feet. I kept waiting
and the children kept crying until dawn broke. O Allaah, if You knew that
I did that for Your sake, then open a way for us through which we can see
the sky. So a way was opened for them…” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
2102; Muslim, 2743).

 (e)             
Obeying her when she
tells you to do something good. But if she tells you to do something bad,
such as shirk, then there
should be no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience to
the Creator.

 Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):

“But
if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others
that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not; but behave with
them in the world kindly” [Luqmaan 31:15]

 (f)              
After one’s mother
dies, it is Sunnah to fulfil any vows that she had made, and to give
charity and perform Hajj and ‘Umrah on her behalf.

 It was
reported from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) that a
woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet
(peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) and said: “My mother vowed to go for Hajj, but she
died before she did so. Can I perform Hajj on her behalf?” He said,
“Yes, perform Hajj on her behalf. Do you not think that if your mother
owed a debt that you would pay it off for her? Fulfil her debt to Allaah,
for Allaah is more deserving that what is owed to Him should be paid.”
(narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1754).

 (g)             
After she dies, it is
also Sunnah to honour her by maintaining ties with those whom she used to
keep in touch with, such as her relatives and friends.

 It was
narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet
(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best of righteous deeds is
for a man to keep in touch with his father’s friends after he dies.”

(Narrated by
Muslim, 2552).

 2 –
Your rights over your mother

 (a)             
That she should take
care of you when you are a child, breastfeeding and nurturing you. This is
a well known aspect of human nature that has been handed down from the
beginning of creation.

 Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):

“The
mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that is)
for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling”
[al-Baqarah 2:233]

 (b)            
She should bring you up in a righteous manner, for she will be
responsible for that before Allaah on the Day of Resurrection. You are
part of her “flock” and she is your “shepherd”.

 It was reported that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar
said: “I heard the Messenger of Allaah

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: ‘Each of you is a
shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The imaam is a
shepherd and is responsible for his flock. A man is the shepherd of his
family and is responsible for his flock. A woman is the shepherd of her
husband’s house and is responsible for her flock. A servant is the
shepherd of his master’s wealth and is responsible for his flock.’ I
think that he said, ‘A man is the shepherd of his father’s wealth and
is responsible for his flock. Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is
responsible for his flock.’” (Narrated
by al-Bukhaari, 853; Muslim, 1829)

 3 –
Permissible things that it is permissible for you to do without your
mother interfering in your affairs

 She does
not have the right to make decisions about what you should like with
regard to permissible things over which she has no authority, such as
food, drink, clothing, means of transportation, etc.

 Neither
does she have the right to interfere in your choice of a wife – if she
is righteous – so long as you are not disobeying Allaah with regard to
that. At the same time it is prescribed (by Islam) that you should try to
please her even in your choice of a wife, if she advises you in a way that
will not harm you.

 With
regard to her interfering with such matters as when you go out of the
house or come in, or your going out in the evening with your friends: both
parents have to watch their children with regard to this, so as to keep
control of things and not let their children be led astray by bad company.
In most cases, when young people are corrupted it is because of bad
company. Concerning this matter, the Prophet
(peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “A man will follow the way of his close
friend, so let each of you look to who his close friends are.” (Narrated
by al-Tirmidhi, 2387; Abu Dawood, 4833. This hadeeth was classed as hasan
by al-Tirmidhi and as saheeh by al-Nawawi, as stated in Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi, 7/42).

 Parents
also have to watch when their child goes out and when he comes in, because
they should not give him free rein, especially if he is not righteous.

 You have
to acknowledge their status and respect them and offer them good
companionship, even if they give you a hard time with regard to things
that Allaah has made permissible for you. Allaah has commanded us to treat
our parents well even if they are kuffaar who call you to shirk,
so how about if they are calling us to something which they sincerely
believe to be good? Even if sometimes it causes you some difficulty with
regard to something that is permissible for you, the best thing to do is
to obey them and do what they want. Even though you do not have to do
this, it is a kind of sacrifice and giving them preference, because they
are the most deserving of being given good treatment. In the Qur’aan,
Allaah has mentioned obedience to parents immediately after worship of
Him, in order to demonstrate the high status afforded obedience to
parents.

 4 –
Your father has the final say concerning everything that comes under his
responsibility. For example, he is the one who decides in which school a
child who is dependent on him will study. The father also has the final
say concerning anything to do with his property, such as your using his
car, taking his money, etc.

 With
regard to a son who is grown up and independent, he makes his own
decisions concerning things that Allaah has permitted. It is prescribed
for him to please his father so long as that does not conflict with his
obedience towards Allaah. The son must continue to respect his father no
matter how old he gets, because this has to do with honouring one’s
parents and treating them kindly. It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:
“I never climbed onto the roof of a house in which my father was.”

 If a
father tells a child to do something good, or to stop doing something that
is permissible, he should obey him so long as that will not cause the son
any harm.

 5 –
With regard to how you can tell your mother that you want more freedom,
this can be achieved by words and by deeds.

 (a)             
Deeds

 After
proving to your mother in practical terms that you are no longer the child
whom she used to know and that you have become a man who is able to bear
responsibility  and you behave like a man in front of her, if she sees that
repeatedly, she will trust you. Then things will start to get better and
you will have a higher status in your mother’s eyes.

 (b)            
Words

 By
clearly proving, quietly discussing and speaking softly, giving examples
of your  sound attitude. May
Allaah open your mother’s heart so that she will deal with you as a
wise, mature, sensible, adult man, so long as you are like that.

 We ask
Allaah to guide us, you and your parents to the straight path. May Allaah
bless our Prophet Muhammad.

What is the ruling on living with a kaafir mother?

What is the ruling on living with a kaafir mother?
What is the ruling on living with kafir mother and wanting to move your wife into the home with her?.


 

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

There is no reason why a son should not live
with his kaafir mother, or her with him. That may be a means of her being guided to Islam, if the son treats her well and gives a good impression
of Islam; keeping away from her may be a cause of her coming to Islam being delayed. 

The Muslim is enjoined to treat his parents
well and honour them even if they are kuffaar. It is not permissible for a Muslim to disobey them or treat them badly in word and deed. But that
does not mean that he should obey her in matters that are sinful or show approval of the kufr that she believes in. 

(a)    
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents; but if they strive to make you join with Me (in worship)
anything (as a partner) of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not. Unto Me is your return and I shall tell you what you used to do”

[al-‘Ankaboot 29:8] 

(b)   
And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them
not; but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your
return, and I shall tell you what you used to do”

[Luqmaan 31:15] 

(c)    
It was narrated that Asma’ bint Abi Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: My mother came to me at the time of the Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and she was a mushrik. I asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) about that, saying, “My mother has come to me and she wants to visit me; should I uphold the ties of kinship with her?” He
said, “Yes, uphold the ties of kinship with your mother.”

(Narrated by
al-Bukhaari, 2477; Muslim, 1003) 

(d)   
It was narrated from Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas that a verse of Qur’aan was revealed concerning him. He said: Umm Sa’d swore that she
should never speak to him until he gave up his religion, and she would never eat or drink. She said, “You claim that Allaah commands you to honour
your parents, and I am your mother, and I am telling you to do this.” He said, She stayed like that for three days, until exhaustion overtook her,
then one of her sons, whose name was ‘Amaarah, got up and gave her some water, and she started to pray against Sa’d. Then Allaah revealed Qur’aan
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents; but if they strive to make you join with Me (in worship)
anything (as a partner…”

[al-‘Ankaboot 29:8] 

And He said
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“…but behave with them in the world kindly…”

[Luqmaan 31:15] 

Narrated by Muslim,
1748. 

(e)    
There follows a fatwa from Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) regarding the issue of obeying parents
with regard to shaving the beard: 

Question: Regarding
obeying your father with regard to shaving the beard. 

The Shaykh replied: 

It is not permissible
for you to obey your father in shaving the beard, rather you must let it grow, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: “Trim the moustache and let the beard grow; be different from the mushrikeen.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: “Obedience is only with regard to that which is good and proper.”

Letting the beard grow is obligatory, not just Sunnah, according to fiqhi terminology, because the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded that, and the basic principle is that a command is obligatory.

She became Muslim but her family did not; should she honour her family even though they mistreat her

She became Muslim but her family did not; should she honour her family even though they mistreat her?
I became Muslim when I was young. My father threw me out of the house so I moved to a Muslim country with my husband to live there. I still keep in touch with my mother. Is there any sin on me for not keeping in touch with my father, knowing that he tells people I am a prostitute and he is threatening to kill me and my family?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

We praise Allaah for having guided you to Islam. Undoubtedly Allaah has blessed you greatly by choosing you from among your family to be the first of them to enter this religion. We ask
Allaah to make you the cause of them also entering Islam. 

What you have done of calling your family to
Islam is what Allaah has enjoined upon you; they take priority over others when it comes to da’wah and telling them the truth. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Say (O Muhammad): ‘This is my way; I invite unto Allaah (i.e. to the Oneness of Allaah —
Islamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me (also must invite others to Allaah, i.e. to the Oneness of Allaah — Islamic
Monotheism with sure knowledge). And Glorified and Exalted be Allaah (above all that they associate as partners with Him). And I am not of the
Mushrikoon (polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allaah; those who worship others along with Allaah or set up rivals
or partners to Allaah)’”

[Yoosuf 12:108] 

“And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near
kindred”

[al-Shu’ara’ 26:214] 

The person who calls others to Allaah should
be gentle and subtle in his approach, especially with his family. Allaah has commanded us to treat our parents kindly, even if they are kaafirs
and call us to kufr. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Invite (mankind, O Muhammad) to the way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the
Divine Revelation and the Qur’aan) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided”

[al-Nahl 16:125] 

“And We have enjoined on man to be good
and dutiful to his parents; but if they strive to make you join with Me (in worship) anything (as a partner) of which you have no knowledge, then
obey them not. Unto Me is your return and I shall tell you what you used to do”

[al-‘Ankaboot 29:8] 

If any of them does not respond, his
misguidance is his own problem and Allaah will not make the daa’iyah accountable for any of his sin. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Whoever goes right, then he goes right
only for the benefit of his ownself. And whoever goes astray, then he goes astray to his own loss. No one laden with burdens can bear another’s
burden. And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning)”

[al-Isra’ 17:15] 

What you did, migrating to one of the Muslim
countries and getting married, was the right thing to do. The Muslim cannot usually maintain his or her religious commitment in a hostile
environment where he or she is a stranger; it is especially hard for a woman who has no power and no strength except with Allaah. This difficulty
is demonstrated by what your father did, throwing you out of the house when he found out that you are a Muslim, 

Your keeping in touch with your mother and
asking after your father is something for which you deserve praise; this is something that Allaah has enjoined upon you. The rights of parents are
great, so do not cut off your ties with them, even if they mistreat you. Try to get in touch with your father and speak kindly to him; perhaps
that will be a cause of his being guided and will dispel the hardness in his heart towards you. 

With regard to your father’s threats, do not
pay any attention to them and do not worry about them; nothing will happen to you or your husband or your family except that which Allaah has
decreed for you. So take precautions and seek refuge with Allaah, for He is the Best of protectors and He is the Most Merciful of those who show
mercy. 

With regard to his slander and accusations
against you, this comes under the heading of the kaafir’s persecution of the Muslim. The honour of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) was slandered when his wife and our mother, the Mother of the Believers ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) was
accused of adultery; and it was said that he was a sorcerer, a soothsayer and a madman. Similar accusations were made against his brother Prophets
as well. Be patient and trust that Allaah will give you a way out and will relieve you of your worry; seek His help and always make du’aa’ to Him
and turn to Him, for He is the Best of supporters and helpers. 

We ask Allaah to make you steadfast in adhering to His religion and to increase you in guidance, insight and knowledge.

Hesitation of a Christian woman who wants to become Muslim, and she is asking about her relationship with her family

Hesitation of a Christian woman who wants to become Muslim, and she is asking about her relationship with her family
I am a christian woman. i am in love with a man who is muslim i want to marry him on any cost he guided me towords Islam and i have seen the scientific proofs of islam now my situation is i am neutral i am not christian and even not muslim...i really want to embrace islam i am really trying very hard. Infact my belief on christianity was very strong whcih has almost gone, also my family allowed me do whatever can make you happy Inshallah soon i will embrace Islam but i am worry about i can't get the peace and satisfaction of what i am going to do...if i embrace Islam without peace and satisfaction it seems like i am just becoming muslim to marry the Man i love whcih i don't want to do...i want to become muslim for Allah..what should i do i am very confuse and praying to allah to show me the right path..even i have choosen my name Emaan. kindly guide me that what should i do if i embrace Islam without peace and satisfaction will it be ok... rest of the things i will leave on Allah to guide for the right things..?


my second question is when i will become muslim will be still able to meet my non-muslim family..infact i was reading somewhere in islamic site..that if husband ristrict his wife not to visit the places and not to do the things which he doesn't like...a wife must obey her husband and not to annoy him... I Love my family very very much and they love me heaps too thats why they are not risisting in my way to become muslim..but i don't want to leave them and also they don't want to leave me too.. kindly guide me if i could meet my family..and celebrate the special days whith them and i would be able to exchande the gifts on special days like christmas..?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Firstly: 

Hesitation about entering Islam is not
something expected from a woman like you who can write in such an eloquent manner and has reason and wisdom with which to know right from wrong,
rather you should be guiding others who are confused and lost. 

You should realize that the Shaytaan is the
one who is preventing you from making a firm decision to enter Islam; he is the one who is making you think that your entering Islam is not
because of your own conviction and that you will never have peace of mind, and other thoughts that he is putting into your heart and mind, and
making you hesitate to make the decision that will bring you happiness in this world and in the Hereafter.

Your becoming Muslim will be for the sake of
Allaah, and the Muslim man is only the means that led to that. There is no shame on a man who becomes Muslim because of a woman who advises him
sincerely and guides him, and there is no shame on a woman who becomes Muslim because of a man who advises her sincerely and guides her. There
follows the unique story of a woman in Islam. She is one of the rare examples of this ummah (nation); think long and hard about her story: 

It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik said:
Abu Talhah proposed marriage to Umm Sulaym, and she said: “By Allaah, O Abu Talhah, a man like you is not to be refused, but you are a kaafir man,
and I am a Muslim woman, and it is not permissible for me to marry you. But if you become Muslim that will be my mahr (dowry), and I will not ask
you for anything else.” So he became Muslim, and that was her mahr. 

Thaabit – the student of Anas – said: I never
heard of any woman who had a better mahr than Umm Sulaym, which was Islam [i.e., her husband becoming Muslim]. Then he consummated the marriage
with her, and she bore him a child. 

Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 3341. Classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i. 

You should also note that as soon as faith enters the depths of your heart, you will realize
that the whole world cannot be equal to living for one moment with this great blessing of Islam. Some people entered Islam for the sake of money,
but they soon began to love Islam and to fight for its sake, sacrificing that which was most dear to them. 

So you must strive within yourself and
realize that the Shaytaan wants to prevent you from attaining happiness and following the religion of man's natural inclination and reason.  You
will be choosing the religion of Adam, Ibraaheem (Abraham), Moosa (Moses) and the Messiah (peace be upon them all), the religion of the natural
inclination of man with which people were created. This universe has only one Lord, with no partner or associate. He is the One Who deserves to be
worshipped alone, and our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was only sent with the same message as the Messengers
who came before him. So be with those who follow the Prophets and Messengers and you will find happiness in this world and in the Hereafter. 

Secondly: 

Islam will never prevent you from meeting
with your family, rather it will urge you to treat them even better than you did before, so that you will be a good example of a Muslim woman, and
help them to embrace this religion. The people who most deserve to share this blessing with you are your family members. 

Asma’ bint Abi Bakr al-Siddeeq said: My
mother came to me when she was a mushrik at the time of Quraysh, at the time of the treaty with them (i.e. during the period when the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had made a peace treaty with the people of Makkah not to fight for the duration). I asked
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “O Messenger of Allaah, my mother has come and she needs my help, should
I uphold ties of kinship with my mother?” He said, “Yes, uphold the ties of kinship with your mother.” 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (and Muslim, 1003). 

Here the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) gave permission for a Muslim to uphold the ties of kinship with his family who follow a religion other than Islam, even if
those family members are calling him to forsake his religion and become a mushrik (one who worships others besides Allaah). Although Islam forbids
him to respond to their call, it still commands him to treat them well and be kind to them. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in
weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years
give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination.

But if they (both) strive with you to make
you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not; but behave with them in the world kindly”

[Luqmaan 31:14-15] 

Our Prophet Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) was keen to call his family to Islam, and he continued to visit them and call them; he visited his paternal uncle
Abu Taalib when he was dying and invited him to Islam. 

So there is nothing to prevent you visiting
your family, but that should be in agreement with your husband, and you have to utilize these visits to call them to the truth and goodness, and
help them to attain salvation. 

What is haraam in these visits is free mixing
of men and women, shaking hands with non-mahram men, and joining in their festivals. It is no secret to you that the rulings brought by Islam are
in the best interests of people, both in this world and in the Hereafter. There is nothing wrong with exchanging gifts with them either, and that
may be a means of softening their hearts and encouraging them to become Muslim, so long as the gifts are not given because of their festivals,
especially the religious festivals. It is not permissible for you to accept or give gifts on those occasions, because that is helping them in
their falsehood and approving of it.

How should a Muslim deal with his kaafir family

How should a Muslim deal with his kaafir family?
A woman became Muslim and lives with her family who are not Muslims, and now they do not object to her being Muslim. She tried to call them to Islam by various means, but to no avail. How should she deal with them in their misguided state? Should she uphold ties with them or limit her relationship with them?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

The one whom Allaah has guided to Islam must hasten to convey
this light to his family and relatives, because they are the first people
whom he should call and to whom he should bring the light of Islam. If there
are among them people who do not object to Islam, then this is a great
blessing which the Muslim should make the most of to present Islam to them
in the best manner. He may use any permissible means to call them to Islam,
such as giving them audio and video tapes, books and websites, inviting
influential Muslim people, drawing close to them by means of gifts, treating
them kindly and good attitudes. He should avoid being harsh in his approach
and he should always pray to Allaah to guide them. 

As Allaah has enjoined treating parents with kindness even if
they call their child to kufr and strive hard in doing so, then it is more
appropriate that this kind treatment be extended to those who approve of
your being Muslim and do not object to it. Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning): 

“And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to
his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and
hardship, and his weaning is in two years __ give thanks to Me and to your
parents. Unto Me is the final destination.

15. But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in
worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them
not; but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him
who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience”

[Luqmaan 31:14, 15]. 

Ibn Jareer al-Tabari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

[This means:] And if your parents strive with you to make you
join in worship of Me anyone alongside Me, when you know that I have no
partner – for He has no partner, exalted be He far above that – then do not
obey them in what they want you to associate with Me. “but behave with
them in the world kindly” and obey them in that which has nothing to do
with the relationship between you and your Lord, and does not involve sin. 

Tafseer al-Tabari, 10/139. 

Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

i.e., if they strive hard to make you follow them in their
religion, then do not accept that from them, but do not let that prevent you
from keeping good company with them in this world, i.e., by being kind to
them. “and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in
obedience” means: the path of the believers. End quote. 

Tafseer Ibn Katheer (6/337) 

The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas
were asked: 

I have family who are mushrikeen (polytheists) except one
sister who is a Muslim. Is it permissible for me to live and eat and drink
with them, and if that is permissible so long as it is not at the expense of
my religious commitment, then it is permissible for me to tell them frankly
that they are kaafirs who are outside of the religion of Allaah? I have
called them to Islam but they are hesitant, and they do not belong to this
group or that, although they are closer to shirk, and I cannot find anywhere
to live except with them. 

They replied: 

What you must do is continue to advise them, remind them,
keep good company with them, and speak gently to them. If you are wealthy,
then spend on them, in the hope that Allaah may open their hearts and show
them the light. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in
worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them
not; but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him
who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience”

[Luqmaan 31:15]. 

Look for various means of conveying the truth to them, such
as letters, books and tapes. End quote. 

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Razzaaq
‘Afeefi, Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Ghadyaan. 

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah,
12/255, 256 

Shaykh Saalih ibn Fawzaan al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve
him) said: 

Allaah has enjoined kindness to parents even if they are
kaafirs. He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to
his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and
hardship, and his weaning is in two years
give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination.

15. But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in
worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them
not; but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him
who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience”

[Luqmaan 31:14, 15]. 

So you must treat your secular parents kindly, but with
regard to religious matters, you should follow the true religion even if it
is different from your parents’ religion, whilst also treating parents
kindly in return for their good tretament. So you should treat them kindly
and return their favours, even if they are kaafirs. There is no reason why
you should not uphold ties with your father and honour him and return his
favours, but do not obey him in any matter that involves disobedience
towards Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted. End quote
