Q: There is hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'Aas (radhiyallahu anhu): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: A single rider is a devil, and a pair of riders are a pair of devils, but three are a company of riders. Grade: Hasan Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 2607 In-book reference: Book 15, Hadith 131
I travel alone for my college which is far, so what does this hadith mean?
Q: Some people say in Jannah women stay indoors and only men go out, they use hadith like this
1. Anas ibn Malik (radhiyallahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, there is a market in paradise to which the men will come every Friday. The wind will scatter fragrance on their faces and clothes and will increase their excellence and beauty. They will return to their wives after having been increased in excellence and beauty and they will say: by Allah, we have seen you increased in excellence and beauty! They will say them: by Allah, we have seen you increased in excellence and beauty! Source: Saheeh Muslim 2833.
So the hadith makes it sound like women can't meet their daughters or adult sons.
2. And in ayah 55:70-72 Quraan it says that fair ones reserved in tents. How do we understand that because it makes it sound like women can't go out or meet families or female friends or adult sons.
3. Sahih Al-bukhari 3243 Narrated `Abdullah bin Qais al-Ash`ari (radhiyallahu anhu): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A tent (in paradise) is like a hollow pearl which is thirty miles in height and on every corner of the tent the men will have wives that cannot be seen by the others." (Narrated Abu `Imran in another narration, "The tent is sixty miles in height.")
The hadith says (wives don't see each other). Does this mean that the women of Jannah can't see and meet her family like her adult children and her mum and dad and her female friends because the hadith makes it sound like she will only see her husband. Because the reason I'm contacting is I love my mum and I want to meet her and be with her in Jannah if we both make it there.
Q: What's the ruling about extinguishing your lamps, how we understand it?
It was narrated from Jabir ibn `Abd-Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“When the wings of the night spread – or when evening comes – keep your children in, for the devils come out at that time. Then when part of the night has passed, let them go. And close the doors and mention the name of Allah, for the devil does not open a closed door. And tie up your waterskins and mention the name of Allah, and cover your vessels and mention the name of Allah, even if you only put something over them, and extinguish your lamps.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari, 3280 and Muslim, 2012)
Q: Is there any specified time as to how long Qaylulah should be?
Q: Please elaborate on the Hadith of fighting with a fellow Muslim and the punishment of doing so, and if a person has gotten caught up in this, then how can he clear himself from this sin.
Q: Please advise if it is permissible for one to sit in semi sun in the home - parts of the body are in sunlight and parts are not.
Q: Many women say that they only wet the scalp of the hair after relations due to the hadeeth of Sayyidah Ayesha (radhiyallahu anha). Is this correct?
Q: The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) praised the people of Shaam and I have come across people from that region especially Syria who had dealings with the company I work for and they refused to pay money for the goods they were supplied with five years ago and come up with excuse after excuse. They have the ability to pay but they don't. Does the praise for people of Shaam apply to all times because clearly they contradict Islamic character. Kindly clarify.
Q: Sahih Muslim 2767a - Abu Musa' (radhiyallahu anhu) reported that Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:
When it will be the Day of Resurrection Allah would deliver to every Muslim a Jew or a Christian and say: That is your rescue from Hell-Fire.
According to this hadith, a Jew or Christian will be our rescue from hell fire. I know that they will take our place in hell, but why did Allah said they are our rescue from hell? Is that the real wording? Because the non-muslim take this verse literally.
Q: In the book Fadhaail A’maal and Muntakhab Ahadeeth, there are many virtues mentioned for “gatherings of zikr”. For example, angels envelope such gatherings, sakinah descends for the ones in the gathering, all sins are forgiven and transformed into good deeds, etc.
My question is that can these virtues be used for the gatherings where the talks of Imaan and Yaqeen are being done, for example, in the bayaans and muzakara when we go out in Tabligh?
