Hadith

Q: I have came across the following narration

إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ فَأَطْعَمَهُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ، وَلَا يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهُ، وَإِنْ سَقَاهُ شَرَابًا فَلْيَشْرَبْ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ وَلَا يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهُ،

Is this a general ruling, that as long as one is a Muslim he would be required to eat his food on assumption that it is Halaal because he is a Muslim, regardless of whether it is actually Halaal or Haraam without questioning him?

Would this ruling differ from area to area, and from country to country. In a place such as South Africa, the Muslim community is more cautious regarding Halaal and Haraam and the abattoirs are generally running by a fair enough system in comparison to other countries. 

Would the ruling in the above mentioned Hadeeth differ from person to person e.g. if he is a pious person, if he is an Aalim in comparison to him being a open sinner?

What will the ruling be if one is not aware of the condition of his hosts? Would this differ from being given an invitation to eat and voluntary choosing to eat at a restaurant owned by a Muslim?

Q: Is it true that when the son of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), Ebrahim was ill, Ayesha (radhiyallahu anha) told Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) to use the du’aa that every prophet is given in which Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: I am saving that du’aa for my Ummah on Qiyaamah.

Q: What is the status of the following Hadith narrated by Ibnus Sunni in book; Amalul yawm wal laylah:

Whoever recites the following 100 times after Jumu’ah Salaah on a Friday; subhanallaahil azeemi wa bi hamdihi ( سبحان الله العظیم و بحمدہ ) Rasulullah (sallalhu ‘alayhi wasallam) has said the reciter’s 100,000 sins will be forgiven and in addition 24,000 of his/her parents’ sins will also be forgiven. 

Q: I would like to know if the following about the virtue of fasting on the 30th of Zul Hijjah and 1st of Muharram are authentic:

“Today is the 30th Zul Hajj which is the last day of the current Islamic year 1441. The reward of fasting on this last day, is forgiveness for all sins committed in the past year. Tomorrow will be the 1st Muharram which is the first day of the new Islamic year of 1442. The reward of fasting on the 1st of Muharram is forgiveness for sins which will be committed in the whole of the coming year.”

Q: Some Muslim scholar have said that a guy called him and told him that he saw Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in his dreams and he asks to read 3 times Surah Fatiha, 3 times Surah Ikhlas and 313 times "hasbunallah wa nimal wakeel".

My question is that is there any hadeeth related to 313 times reading "hasbunallah wa nimal wakeel". Please advise for the above in the light of Islam.

Q: I want to know the Arabic text and reference for the following Hadith Mubarakah:

س:علماء دین کے امانت دار ہیں جب تک کہ امراء اور حکام سے میل جول نہ کریں اور جب امراء و حکام سے میل جول کرنے لگیں تو دین کے راہزن ہیں۔

Q: Is there any Hadith that explains the benefit of the herb 'sana makki' that it has the cure for every disease except death?

Q: What is the most correct view regarding Sayyiduna Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) hearing hadith from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Ali (radhiyallahu anhuma)?

Q:

1. What is the correct Islamic belief regarding sicknesses, diseases, epidemics, etc.?  Are they contagious or not?

2. Please provide a detailed explanation of the following two Ahaadith narrated in regard to sicknesses,  لا عدوى ولا طيرة  - (there are no contagious sicknesses nor any bad omens) and فر من المجذوم كما تفر من الاسد-  (flee from a leper as you will flee from a lion).

It apparently seems as though the meanings of both these Ahaadith contradict each other.  What is the correct understanding and reconciliation of both these Ahaadith?

3. At the time of an epidemic, what is the Islamic teaching in dealing with people who are afflicted?

4. During the time of an epidemic, did the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum) who were not afflicted attend the Musjid for salaah?

Q: Can you advise me as to whether diseases can be contagious according to Islamic belief. Please provide a detailed explanation of the Ahaadith narrated in this regard especially:

لا عدوى ولا طيرة

فر من المجذوم كما تفر من الاسد
