Denying what is wrong
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 17346 )
Q: I was traveling to Makkah al-Mukarramah for 'Umrah, and I was riding in a collective transport vehicle on 14/9/1414 AH. The driver was playing a recording of singing, and we were intending to perform 'Umrah. So I asked him to stop the songs. He got angry, stopped the car, and wanted to fight, and people of good character intervened between us. Second: I was stoning the pillars during Hajj this year, and I saw in the crowd an old woman who had fallen and was being trampled by people's feet. I wanted to rescue her, but the crowd prevented it, and she died as a result. And I was unable to stone the first pillar because of the crowd, and I stoned the second pillar with fourteen stones . Is this permissible or not? Third: I found an image on a bar of soap with the name "Abdullah Saleh" written on it, and it is placed in the bathroom, and the name of Allah is on it. I ask you to issue a ruling on what
I mentioned, so that my conscience may be clear
A: First: You did well in denying what is wrong and in your intention to rescue this Muslim woman, so may Allah reward you with good. Second: Your leaving off the stoning of the first pillar requires you to offer a sacrificial animal, which is a fidyah (ransom payment) that is sufficient as an udhiyah (sacrifice) slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor of the Haram. What you stoned on the second pillar of seven extra pebbles does not suffice for it; because each pillar is independent of the other. Third: If the name of one of the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is found written on things that are degraded, such as soap and the like, it should be wiped off to protect it from degradation. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
