Bid‘ahs introduced in ‘Eids
Q 1: Is it permissible to celebrate religious ‘Eids (festivals) such as the Mawlid (the Prophet’s birthday) and the 15th night of Sha‘ban etc., according to the occasion?
A: (a) It is not permissible to celebrate innovated ‘Eids.
(b) The Sunnah approves only two ‘Eids in Islam, i.e. ‘Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice) and ‘Eid-ul-Fitr (the Festival of Breaking the Fast). During these two days, it is permissible for Muslims to rejoice and show happiness, and do the rituals that Allah (Glorified be He) has ordained during them such as Salat-ul-‘Eid (the Festival Prayer) and the like. But it is unlawful to practice any Haram (prohibited) matters.
(c) It is not permissible to celebrate the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him) or that of any other person, because the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not celebrate his birthday nor did he enjoin Muslims to do so. Likewise, the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with them) did not celebrate the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and neither did the Salaf (righteous predecessors) in the three best generations. Indeed, all goodness lies in following their way.
(d) Celebrating the 15th night of Sha‘ban is a Bid‘ah (innovation in religion) and so is the celebration of the twenty-seventh night of Rajab which some people
(Part No. 3; Page No. 83)
call the Night of Isra’ (Night Journey) and Mi‘raj (Ascension to Heaven) as mentioned in part (c). Allah is the One sought for help.
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!

What is Khula and what is the correct procedure?
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen
Question:
What is Khula and what is the correct procedure? If the husband does not
want to divorce the wife, can the divorce still happen? What about in
societies like America, where women who don't like their husbands (in some
case, because the husbands are religious). The women think that they have
the freedom that if they don't like the men, they can divorce them.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Khula' means the separation of the wife in return for a payment; the husband takes the payment and lets his wife go, whether this payment is the mahr which he gave to her, or more or less than that. The basic principle concerning this is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

combining prayers for the resident

Question #5: "Is it allowed for the resident to combine between two prayers without (the presence of) rain?"
Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) answers:
"Imaam Muslim brought out in his Saheeh, the hadeeth on the authority of Ibn Abbaas who said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam) combined (prayers) in Madinah between Dhuhr and Asr, and between Maghrib and Ishaa, without (being in a state of) traveling or (the presence of) rain. They said, What did he [sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam] intend by that O Abu l-Abbaas[1] {the kunya of Abdullaah bin Abbaas}? He said, He [sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam] wanted to not put his ummah into difficulties.[2]
So the apparent meaning of the hadeeth is that it is permissible to combine between two prayers in the state of residence and without the excuse of rain, because rain is an Islamically legislated excuse that allows combining between two prayers. And here Ibn Abbaas says that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ýalayhi wa aalihi wa sallam) combined as a resident and combined without the excuse of rain. And he confirmed that when the previous question was addressed to him: Why did he [sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam] do that? (Ibn Abbaas) said, He [sallAllaahu ýalayhi wa sallam] wanted to not put his ummah into difficulties. This is the hadeeth and it is in Saheeh Muslim but not al-Bukhaari. There is the like of this hadeeth in al-Bukhaari, (mentioning that) he [sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam] combined between the prayers in Madinah as eight (rakah),[3] but there isn't this detail that Imaam Muslim mentioned or narrated from Ibn Abbaas, in which there is this important point that is the answer to this question, namely his saying (radi Allaahu anhu): He [sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam] wanted to not put his ummah into difficulties.

Delaying Isha Prayer
Question:
What is the ruling on delaying the Isha prayer until a late hour?
Answer:
It is better for the Isha prayer to be delayed to its later time. The
more it is delayed, the better, unless it be for a man because if a
man delays it, he misses the congregational prayer, and it is not
permissible for him to delay it and miss the congregational prayer. As
for the women in their houses, the more they delay the Isha prayer,
the better it is for them, but they should not delay it past midnight.

The Ruling on Contracting a Marriage by Telephone
Question: If the pillars and conditions of marriage are fulfilled, except that the guardian and the groom are in different countries, is it permissible to contract the marriage by telephone or not?
Answer: Bearing in mind the proliferation these days of deception and cheating and the skill of some people in imitating others’ speech and their ability to precisely mimic the voices of others – there is even one of them who can imitate a number of males and females, young and old and speak in their voices and in their different languages, making the listener believe that the speakers are a number of people, and they are not but one person – and bearing in mind the goal of the Islamic Law, which is to protect people’s chastity and preserve their honor and prudence therein, more than prudence in contracts of others that no dependence be placed in marriage contracts regarding consent, acceptance and delegation on telephonic transmissions, in order to attain the objectives of the Islamic Law and to increase the attention paid to preserving chastity and honor, so that foolish people may not waste their time and those who convince themselves to cheat and deceive.

She cannot stand, so may She sit?
Question:
There is a woman who is an invalid - she has a fracture and a slipped
disc in her back, and a plaster cast has been placed on her back, so
she cannot pray properly, standing as one normally does, and she
prayed while sitting for a month, bowing slightly. Is her prayer
correct, or not?
Answer:
Yes, her prayer is correct, since she is unable to stand; and standing
is an obligation in the obligatory prayers when one is able to do so.
So if she is unable to do so, because of the slipped disc in her back,
she may pray sitting. If she is able to stand by holding onto a sick
or by leaning against a wall, then she must pray standing. Based upon
this, the previous prayers of this woman were correct, as she was
unable to stand. The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said to
Imran bin Husain: Pray standing, but if you are not able to, then
sitting, and if you are unable to do this, then on your side. [1]

Sitting in a sunny and shady place
Q: What is the ruling on sitting half under the shade and half under the sun?
A: Sitting under shade and sun at the same time is Makruh (reprehensible) because the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade it, as related by Ibn Majah with a good Sanad (chain of narrators). It is authentically reported that the Prophet (may peace be upon) called it the "Sitting of Satan." (Related by Ahmad and Ibn Majah. May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!

Disobeying parents in obedience in Allah
Question :
My parents have told me to stop being friends with good people, and not to travel with them to do ‘Umrah. Please note that I am on my way to becoming religiously committed. Do I have to obey them in this matter?.
Answer :
Praise be to Allah.
You do not have to obey them in disobeying Allaah or in anything that will adversely affect you, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Obedience is only with regard to what is right and proper,” and “There is no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience towards the Creator.” The person who tells you not to be friends with good people is not to be obeyed, whether they are your parents or anyone else. You should not obey anyone who tells you to be friends with bad people either. But you should speak to your parents in a good manner and in a way that is better, such as saying “These are good people, I benefit a lot from them, I am fond of them and I am learning a lot from them.” You should respond to them with kind words and good manners, and not be harsh with them. If they tell you not to be friends with them, do not tell them that you are seeking out good people and getting in touch with them, or that you have gone places with them if they do not approve of that. You only have to obey them with regard to acts of worship and what is good and proper.
If they tell you to make friends with bad people, or they tell you to smoke or drink alcohol or commit adultery, or other sins, then do not obey them or anyone else who tells you to do such things, because of the two hadeeth quoted above. And Allaah is the Source of strength

Does reciting Surat al-Anbiyaa’ protect us from evil eye?
by:Shaykh Ubayd al-Jabri
Qn29: If a person recites Surat al-Anbiyaa’ in the evening or they recite it seven times, does it protect them from the evil eye?
Ans.29: It is not allowed for any Muslim to protect himself in the morning, in the evening or at the time of sleeping except with that which has been revealed by the Messenger of Allaah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and to this day I have never heard or learnt that Surat al-Anbiyaa’ is of the verses which have been revealed to protect oneself from the evil eye or other than this. What we have learnt from the Sunnah regarding protecting oneself with the Qur’aan is that one reads Ayat-al-Qursi [Surat-al-Baqarah:255] or one can also read the two last verses of Surat-al-Baqarah where Allaah says "the Messenger (Muhammad ) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say, "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maulâ (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people."} (Al-Baqarah 2:285:286).
Also, one can recite Surat al-Ikhlas, Surat al-Falaq and Surat an-Naas (the last three surahs of the Qur’aan) as well as Surat al-Faatihah, the opening chapter of the Qur’aan. So these are the surahs from the Qur’aan which were revealed in the Sunnah to protect oneself from the evil eye. And there are many other supplications that we know from the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam such as the saying, ‘Bismillaahi lathee laa yadhurru m’aa issmihi shay’un fil ardhi wa laa fi samaa’ wa huwa as-Sami’ul ‘Aleem’ (In the Name of Allaah with Whose name nothing in the Earth, nor in the Heavens can cause harm, and He is the Hearer, the Well-Knower.) If one says this three times in the morning, he will be protected until the evening, and if one says this three times in the evening, he will be protected until the morning. I advise the questioner and all other Muslims, male or female, to read Sahih al Kalim at-Tayyib (The Authentic of the Good Sayings) by the Imam, the Allamah, the Muhaddith of this time, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullaah whose book is derived from the Imam al-Islaam, Shaykh Ibn Taymeeyah’s book Kalim at-Tayyib (rahimahullaah) – so you may go to either book.
