The importance of supplicating for guidance to the Straight Path in times of disagreement.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In reality, we ask Allah to guide us and you to the Straight Path. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to begin his night prayer with the words: Sahih Muslim 770. A person is in need of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to guide him to the truth in matters over which there is disagreement; otherwise, he would go astray. That is to say, do not say that whenever you exert effort in something, put in the work, and reach the limit, you are certain that this is the correct answer. Rather, ask Allah to guide you to the truth in matters over which there is disagreement by His permission. Indeed, He guides whom He wills to a Straight Path. Yes?
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Chapter on the conditions and defects in marriage
If a woman conditions that her co-wife be divorced, or that he not take a concubine, or that he not marry another woman, or that he not take her out of her house or her country, or if she conditions a specific amount of cash or an increase in her mahr, the contract is valid. If he violates this, she has the right to annul the marriage. If her wali marries her on the condition that he will marry her wali’s daughter, and they do so without a mahr, both marriages are invalid. If a mahr is specified for them, the marriage is valid."
The Shaykh : Yes.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I have with me: "If a mahr is specified for them" .
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : I am listening, and I have it with me.
Guide me with Thy permission in the divergent views (which the people) hold about Truth, for it is Thou Who guidest whom Thou wilt to the Straight Path.
