Some questions answered by Shaykh Ali al-Halabi (may Allah have mercy on him), regarding the athar: "If poverty were a man, I would have killed him"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is said: "If poverty were a man, I would have killed him."
onAl-Halabi : This is mentioned, but we do not know its authenticity, and its authenticity does not concern us; because the intent is to indicate the severity of poverty, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 1544Sahih (Al-Albani), so the Messenger sought refuge (peace and blessings be upon him) from poverty, and Allah the Exalted knows best.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, you mentioned in your book "Al-Iwaqif" that you were refuting a doubt raised by al-Saqaf regardingThe Shaykh : Nasser, thatThe Shaykh : Nasser used to criticize Sayyid Qutb. Shaykh, but the question now is: Is there anything in the creed of Sayyid Qutb?
onAl-Halabi : There is no doubt that the man has [defects], but we seek to excuse him; because the man was not a religious scholar who could engage in research and examine the evidence and so on. The man was a Muslim preacher and a man of letters, so whatever he read, he generally accepted it. And with that, he documented several retractions from some of his ideas in the revised edition of "Al-Zilal," stating that he retracted from some things, such and such.
The questioner : Shaykh, in which of his books do some of his deviations in creed appear?
onAl-Halabi : In "Al-Zilal," the most important thing is in "Al-Zilal," in the issues of society; judging the society as being in disbelief and the pre-Islamic age of ignorance in terms of belief. And also, in the book "Ta'wil al-Asma' wa al-Sifat," the denial of ahad reports. All of this is present. The denial of some hadiths is also present. The denial of some hadiths, the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) being subjected to sorcery in "Al-Sahihayn." He denies the hadith of the sun prostrating under the Throne, and he denies it, and it is also in "Al-Sahih." And this is a lot, meaning.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, no problem, a second question, our Shaykh, how was it reported about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
onAl-Halabi : May Allah give you patience, O Lord.
The questioner : I am short, meaning.
Toward...Al-Halabi : O Allah, amen.
The questioner : Shaykh, how was it reported about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to trim his beard?
onAl-Halabi : He would place the miswak like this, then take what exceeded the lip like this, and take what exceeded the lip. This is in "Musnad Ahmad" and others.
The questioner : Okay; and from above?
onAl-Halabi : From above, nothing was reported in detail, but if one takes from above, there is no objection; because the generality of trimming is taken from this. But it was reported about 'Umar that he used to twist his beards. As for the final taking, as some people do, taking it until the whiteness of the skin appears, Imam Malik prohibited it and considered it mutilation, and its owner is subject to discretionary punishment for it.
The questioner : Is this one of the signs of the Asha'irah? Meaning, many of the Asha'irah.
onAl-Halabi : It is not necessary. Many of the deviant people do it. It is not necessary. This is one of the signs of the Khawarij, shaving the head. And one of the signs of the Asha'irah, shaving the beard?!
Another questioner : Is it permissible for the masbuq to recite the opening supplication after the first rak'ah that he catches up with the imam?
onAl-Halabi: When?
Another questioner : After the first rak'ah.
onAl-Halabi : That means.
Another questioner : That he did not catch up with the imam.
onAl-Halabi : No, this does not apply to his regular prayer; his first rak'ah is the first one, and Allah knows best.
Another questioner : So that the one listening knows the method, the method of using the miswak.
onAl-Halabi : The miswak, what do you mean?
Another questioner : The question before the previous one.
Another questioner : Placing the miswak on.
onAl-Halabi : Ah, he would place the miswak on the beard and take it across, and take what exceeded the miswak from the ends of the beard that exceeded the lip. This is it.
Another questioner : Okay; O Shaykh, sometimes it is.
Another questioner : Thick!!
onAl-Halabi : And if one sees a thick beard, there is no objection.
onAl-Halabi : This is mentioned, but we do not know its authenticity, and its authenticity does not concern us; because the intent is to indicate the severity of poverty, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from poverty
