The Shaykh’s presentation of some false jurisprudential and argumentative examples
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I fear that if I continue with such digressions for too long, we will stray from the main point. So I return to say: It is certain that many of you have heard or read, from some writers today, an argument for the permissibility of a woman traveling without a mahram, based on what is in "Sahih al-Bukhari" from the hadith of 'Adi ibn Hatim al-Tai, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . They took from this hadith the permissibility of a woman going out without a mahram. If you understand what we mentioned earlier: that the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) reporting of something does not mean that the thing is permissible; his reporting of it does not give a ruling on it, but is merely a report.
Therefore, for example, to make it easier for you to understand this statement I made to you earlier, there are many, many hadiths, some of which are clear in what I said earlier, and some of which need reminding. First, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 157j. This is one of the signs of his prophethood (peace and blessings be upon him), for you see today that some countries hardly remain free from turmoil, from killing without cause. Does this mean that because the Messenger (peace be upon him) reported the prevalence of turmoil, that this turmoil is permissible? No one says this. But we move to what is more subtle: what came in the authentic hadith in al-Bukhari and Muslim in the story of Jibril (peace be upon him) when he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the form of a strange man from among humans. The story is known and long, but the point of it is: that this man, who was later identified by his saying (peace be upon him): . They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: Musnad Ahmad 184Sahih (Darussalam). So among Jibril’s (peace be upon him) questions to our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was about the Hour. You know that the answer was: Mishkat al-Masabih 741. So the answer regarding the signs and indicators was: he said: Sahih Muslim 8a. This is a report from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Does this mean that it is recommended to build tall buildings? Especially this tall building seen in this time!! Which involves encroachment and looking at the 'awrah of women. Certainly, this report does not give legitimacy to building tall buildings. And a fortiori, it does not give legitimacy to what came before this sign, which is: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2610Sahih (Darussalam). This was interpreted in two ways, one of which is: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2610Sahih (Darussalam)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2610Sahih (Darussalam) because of her tyranny, arrogance, and dominance over the one who gave birth to her, who is her mother. Does this mean that when the Messenger (peace be upon him) reported this news and made it one of the signs of the Hour, that it is a permissible or prescribed matter?!! It is not so. If you know this reality: you know that arguing with the Prophet’s report that the woman travels from Iraq to the Hijaz without fearing for herself except the wolf, does not mean contradicting the hadiths that contain explicit legislation, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): .
He gave him good news that Islam would spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula, until the woman would travel from Iraq to Madinah without fearing anything
بشَّره بأن الإسلام سيعمُّ الجزيرة العربية ، حتى تخرج الظَعينة مِن العراق وتأتي إلى المدينة لا تخشى شيئًاTherefore, for example, to make it easier for you to understand this statement I made to you earlier, there are many, many hadiths, some of which are clear in what I said earlier, and some of which need reminding. First, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
The last Hour will not come unless there is much bloodshed
لا تقوم الساعة حتى يكثر الهرجDo you know who the questioner is?!
أتدرون من السَّائل ؟!That was Jibreel who came to teach you your religion.
ذاك جبريل جاءكم يعلِّمكم دينكمThe one who is asked knows no more than the one who asks
ما المسؤول عنها بأعلمَ من السَّائلThat the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and master, that you will find barefooted, destitute goat-herds vying with one another in the construction of magnificent buildings
أنْ تلِدَ الأمَةُ ربَّتها ، وأن ترى الحفاة العراة العالة رعاء الشاء يتطاولون في البنيانThat the slave woman gives birth to her master
أن تلدَ الأمَةُ ربَّتهاThat the slave woman gives birth to her master
أن تلدَ الأمَةُ ربَّتَهاThat the slave woman gives birth to her master
أن تلدَ الأمَةُ ربَّتَهاA woman should not travel except with a mahram
لا تسافر امرأة سفرًا إلا ومعها محرم
