Q: Bismillah
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah Shaykh,

I have been receiving e-mails (via a group which I didn’t subscribe to) from a wahabi (who seems to really want to help educate muslims). Although she mentions a few good points, I get very distressed reading how she says several incorrect  things about islam. I am pasting two of her most recent e-mails below. How does one respond to this person? I’ve tried a couple times before & she started criticizing non-wahabi Shuyukh (i.e., certain Hanafi ulama). Is it obligatory/ recommended for me to correct her incorrect beliefs?
JazakAllah khair.

tawaf and whudhu

Q: I was making tawaaf. My whudu broke. I tried for it not to break. A scholar told me that my tawaaf would  not break due to crowd size. So I made whudu again.what is the best way to do this?

hair, nails, etc…

Q:
AOA,
1. In the first 10 days of zilhaj it is required not to cut hairs. Does it include shaving face also. If someone does shave what is the fidya??

Time: Thursday November 26, 2009 at 5:39 am

A: It is best to emulate the hujjaj (those in hajj) as close as possible. This would include the  preference of not cutting your hair, nails, and other actions that the hujjaj take part in or are called upon to refrain from, etc.

All this would be done prior to the new moon ( of zil-hijja) coming in. It’s most preferred that all this be done after the animal has been scarified. This is part of our virtuous deeds.

Shaving of the face for men was never allowed to begin with. If it has to be done due to unbearable circumstances, then the matter would be different.

Should one not practice this sunnah, it would not require a fidya of any type.

The more we incorporate the sunnah into our lives, the better we feel about ourselves and our Islam.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.

Qurbani is only wajib upon the following persons:

Q:
asak,
how are you all?? by the grace of almight we are fine. i have a question??? If a person is going to Hajj he has to give qurbani in his name in madina or mecca, can his family members give qurbani also for the person performing hajj in his home country.

waiting for your reply.

A: وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته

A person performing hajj would not have do Qurbani in either of the two blessed places you have mentioned.

Doing a qurbani would gain a person great reward. But its not obligatory upon you.

Should you reside in either of the cities for more than 15 days, then you would turn into a resident (muqeen) and you would become eligible to perform the qurbani. Should this be the case, you are welcome to do the Qurbani wherever you wish.

Qurbani is only wajib upon the following persons:

Muslim

Free person (an individual that is not a slave.)

Resident, not a traveler


Person who possesses Nisab of the zakat

Kindly remember us all in your prayers while in Hajj.
