Sahaabah

The standard by Allah

Q: I am asking these questions on behalf of somebody else who says he has issues about the age of Aaisha radi Allahu `anhaa when the marriage was consummated amongst other things.

These are his questions, (would be grateful if answered):

QUOTE "Ok, I agree that may be helpful:

1) What is the definition(s) of a "child" in the Shari'ah?

2) What is the definition(s) of "child abuse" in the Shari'ah?

3) What rights that a child has under the Shari'ah?

4) What is the definition(s) of a Guardian (Wali) in the Shari'ah?

5) Who can be the Guardian (Wali) of a female child? Is there a difference for male children?

6) What rights does a Guardian (Wali) have over the female child? Is there a difference for male children?

7) What are the responsibilities that a Guardian has towards the child? What practical provisions does the Shari'ah set in place to ensure that the Guardian is fulfilling these responsibilities?

8) What are the responsibilities that a female child has towards the guardian? What practical provisions does the Shari'ah set in place to ensure that the Guardian is fulfilling these responsibilities?

9) Please give Shari'ah definition(s) of a marriage contract and what does it mean when someone has entered into a marriage contract? What would have to take place to have the marriage contract annulled?

10) Are there any valid Shar'i opinions from the 4 major Mathaahib that state that a Guardian/Wali may marry of a female under his guardianship without their consent?

If these are answered I'll have a few more questions based upon the answers of these questions. I put definition with a bracketed 's' indicating that I would like to know all valid opinions on these matters, not just the opinions of a single mathab, maslak, etc." QUOTE

Hazrat Muawiyah (Radhiyallahu Anhu)

Q: I have some questions regarding Hazrat Muawiyah (Radhiyallahu Anhu). 

  1. Was he one of the scribes who wrote down the Qur'an or simply one of the scribes who dictated Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa salam's letters to other rulers?
  2. Is it true that there is a hadeeth in Saheeh Bukhari narrating how Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam) explicitly cursed him?
  3. Are there also hadeeths narrating how Muawiyah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) will be denied water from Nabi (Sallahu Alayhi Wasalam's) hands at Al-Kawthar and how Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam) cursed him because he (Radhiyallahu Anhu) kept on eating eating while Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam) was summoning him?
  4. Was his sister one of the Ummul Mu'mineen (Radhiyallahu anhum)? Did Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam) make dua that he would be a great king?

How was Hazrat Bilal (Radiyallahu Anhu) tortured?

Q: I have read about how Hazrat Bilal (Radiyallahu Anhu) was tortured. I have read that he was tortured by:

  1. Made to lie on hot desert sand.
  2. Thrown into boiling water.
  3. Dragged through the streets with ropes. 

Are these three types of torture proven from authentic ahadith? What other ways do the Ahadith mention about how Hazrat Bilal (Radiyallhu Anhu) was tortured?

Fitna that was prevalent during the caliphate of Sayyadina Uthman (Radiyallahu Anhu)

Q: I would like to know about the fitna that was prevalent during the caliphate of sayyadina uthman (r.a) which led to his martydom and after that the battles which took place between hazrat ayesha (r.a) and saayadina ali (r.a) and with hazrat mawiya (r.a) too!!! Also what happened later which led to the incident of karbala and how did the incident of karbala end! Please provide me a broad detail about this?
