Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It has become widespread among people that there is a report from 'Umar that before his Islam, when he was burying his daughter alive, she was brushing the dust off his beard. He asks: Is this report authentic?
The Shaykh:
When?
The questioner:
That 'Umar, before his Islam, when he was burying his daughter alive, she was brushing the dust off his beard.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this was reported from him. In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, they used to bury daughters alive out of fear of disgrace, and 'Umar did this in his pre-Islamic age of ignorance.
The questioner:
If a person intends to fast a voluntary fast after the midday prayer,
The Shaykh:
It was reported that 'Umar did this, but I do not know if it is established from him, though it was reported from him. Yes.
