How to deal with the violations that occur when receiving a person who has been away from his relatives for a long time?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, one is traveling to Egypt after a long absence, and so the sister and the aunt come with hugs, and so on, and one does not know what to do; as the love increases, the hugs increase. What do you say? May Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner : ... They might carry him as a load!
The questioner : Heh, how should one behave?
Al-Halabi : On the occasion of the end of the Gulf War ...
The questioner : Hehehe.
The Shaykh : Unrestrained emotions have no limits, and therefore good upbringing and education are necessary. That is, a Muslim cannot imagine a person in this world who is more perfect than the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, with certainty. And a Muslim cannot imagine a nation or people who are more perfect after the Prophets and Messengers than the Companions. Do you see? Did this chosen people do to the chosen Prophet what the students and lovers of their scholars do today? Did they do that? Why do you not speak? Or perhaps I did not express myself well, or you were not paying attention? I say that the best of mankind is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the best nation brought forth for people are the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, then those who follow them. We are concerned with the Companions of the Messenger of Allah. Did the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, who are the best of people after the Prophets, do to the best of the Prophets what the lovers of the beloved among the people of knowledge, righteousness, and piety do today? Did they do that? They did not do that. Why? Because they did not love the Messenger? No. It is because there were reins, meaning brakes, there were controls they took from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Lord of the Worlds gathered them in a verse in the Noble Qur'an[Al-Baqarah 2:143] You know the hadith of Mu'adh when he went to Damascus, to the Levant, and the first thing his eyes saw was the Messenger, and the Bedouins prostrated to him. He said to him He said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, I went to the Levant and I saw the Christians prostrating to their priests and their great ones, and I saw that you are more worthy of prostration than they are." This is logical and reasonable speech. But is every logical and reasonable speech prescribed? This is the point that confuses people. They do not distinguish between the reasonable and the prescribed, so they think every prescribed thing is reasonable and every reasonable thing is prescribed, and that is not the case. Therefore, the Companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had the best upbringing; no upbringing like it can exist on earth, absolutely. And the matter is as it was said: "So imitate them, even if you are not like them *** For imitating the noble ones is success." Now, the students and the disciples and the lovers, whether the unifying love is knowledge or kinship, there are no limits in the dealings between these loving people. Therefore, the cure is upbringing and purification. I went, I think, and Allah knows best, in the year of Hajj when I performed Hajj, brothers, it was something unbearable. I was being crushed between the people because of this unrestrained love. This is love; they say in the Levant, "Because they love so much, they bite." Even some of our brothers in some mosques, do you know what they did? They really found a legal trick; they took me out from the back door. That is, in a mosque with many doors, they took me out from there. Even so, we barely got away from them. Brothers, between them, they would say "Peace be upon you" and shake hands, this one would hug you from here, and this one from here, and here, and the one behind this. This is a blinding love. This is your love for a thing that blinds and deafens. No, the one who sees is in the Shari'ah of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) ... So this Mu'adh is an example of the lover after whom there is no love. But did he prostrate after he said to him ? Now, upbringing is the hardest thing in the Islamic world today after purified knowledge. And I ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to inspire us to combine them: beneficial knowledge and righteous action. We have not prayed 'Isha', so we will pray here with those who stayed behind with me, and then we will depart, if Allah wills.

And thus we have made you a just community
وكذلك جعلناكم أمة وسطاO Mu'adh
مه يا معاذProstration is not valid except for Allah.
لا يصلح السجود إلا لله
