Does the prohibition of eating Bulgarian meat extend to clothing and other items?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Boycotting Bulgarian meat on the grounds that it is a country that attacks Muslims; does this extend to clothing and everything else?
The Shaykh: Everything, yes.
The questioner : My Shaykh, does this ruling extend to countries other than Bulgaria, such as Russia and others?
The Shaykh : Of course, of course. If there were Islamic countries, they should be like that, but where are they?
The questioner : As for me, as an individual, I want to adhere to this.
The Shaykh : You cannot, you cannot. I saw a boy just now, I don't know whose boy it is, his father dressed him for this. The point is, we cannot do it; all your goods come from abroad. But you must preserve the Shari'ah to the extent of your ability. Abu Hashim, let him rest a little, for the sake of Allah.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, did they take the prayer of tarawih as a mass-transmitted report?
The Shaykh : Your question is elastic, Abu Maher, elastic. What do you mean by the prayer of tarawih? Is it our prayer or their prayer?
The questioner : They...
The Shaykh : Yes, there is a difference. They took it as a mass-transmitted report that is disconnected; as for it being connected to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you know that it has no basis. Because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not exceed eleven rak'ahs in Ramadan or in any other time. So when 'Umar ibn al-Khattab revived this practice, he ordered Ubayy ibn Ka'b to lead the people in eleven rak'ahs. When did this increase occur? Allah knows best. We are not obligated to date errors, to know when such and such an innovation occurred and when such and such an innovation occurred. It is sufficient for us to know that it is an innovation, and the matter is ended. Because what is the purpose of knowing? Avoiding it. Whether we know its history or not, that is part of the extra knowledge.
The questioner : Once, one of our Saudi brothers, meaning Abu 'Abdullah, asked him about the basis of the prayer in this number, so he answered us with the hadith found in al-Bukhari, Allah knows best He cited this hadith as evidence.
The Shaykh : This is among the matters mentioned previously: arguing with general texts that have not been acted upon. Did you understand me?
The Shaykh: Everything, yes.
The questioner : My Shaykh, does this ruling extend to countries other than Bulgaria, such as Russia and others?
The Shaykh : Of course, of course. If there were Islamic countries, they should be like that, but where are they?
