More Deposit Less Rent

⭕Today's Question no. 992⭕

Suppose if deposit is Rs 1 lac for 2 BHK flat and rent Rs 5,000, if I gave rent of Rs 500 or no rent at all, is is permissible to get a flat and stay this way?

🔵Answer🔵

To pay a greater deposit and pay very less rent, or no rent at all, in both the above mentioned situation, it is considered interest, and is haraam and not permitted. Any loan, which brings profit, is considered interest. In above mentioned example, instead of paying Rs 5,000, if you pay rent of Rs 500, then balance amount Rs 4,500 is considered interest. People who claim it permissible, are wrong.

Ruling regarding Supplications on Shab-e-Meraj

⭕Today's Question no. 991⭕

Why is it bid'aah for supplications and praying in Shab-e-Meraj? Why not pray instead of sleeping?

🔵Answer🔵

Utmost Foolishness

After leaving the worldly life by Prophet Muhammed sallahu alayhi wasallam, the Sahaba Ikram Razi Allahu anhum were present upto 100 years. In this complete century, not even one incident was reported of the Sahaba giving any special importance to 27 of Rajab. Any practice which is not followed by Prophet Muhammed sallahu alayhi wasallam and his Sahaba, addition of it to deen or declaring it as Sunnah is Bid'aah. If someone says that so what if the Sahaba didn't pray, I will is considered utmost foolishness.

Banye Se sayana so baula

My father, Hazrat Mufti Muhammed Shafi Sahib Qaddasallahu Sirrahu has said that there is a saying or example in Urdu which is very famous in India. It goes like 'BANYE SE SAYANA SO BAULA' It means that if a person says that he is more intelligent then a 'Banya' in matter of business, in reality that person in 'baaula' ie foolish. This is because in reality 'Banya' are famous for their business ventures and it is common knowledge.

Who has more knowledge other than the Sahaba

As far as the knowledge of deen is considered, the Sahaba Ikram Razi Allahu anhum, Tabaeen and Tabe Tabaeen are the most knowledgeable and practicing. If a person claims that he is greater knowledgeable and wants to practice more, in reality that person is ignorant.

Supplications in this night is Bid'aah

Therefore, special prayers and supplications during this night in bid'aah. It is very much better to spend every night in prayers, Offering prayers during any regular night and 27th is the same and should be considered so.

Facts about Shabe Meraj

⭕Today's Question no. 988⭕

What is the fazeelah regarding Shabe Meraaj? What prayers should be performed on it?

🔵Answer🔵

It has been rumoured that 27 of Rajab is Shab-e-Meraj is to be spent praying in such a manner as Shab-e-Qadr and the fazeelah of it is similar to that of Shab-e-Qadr. In fact I read somewhere that fazeelah of Shab-e-Meraj is greater than that of Shab-e-Qadr.
And the is belief that certain types of Salah has to performed at night with following rakaat reciting following following surah etc. Allah swt knows how this details got distributed amongst people. All is has nothing to do with Shariah.

Difference in date of Shab-e-Meraj

First of all, there is no clear evidence that 27 RAJAB for sure is the night when Prophet Muhammed sallahu alayhi wasallam had undertaken the journey of MERAAJ, because there is a variation regarding it. According to certain details, it is said that the journey was undertaken in the month of RABI UL AWWAL, and others, in the month of RAJAB. Also, it has also been mentioned other months. There fore, we cannot say for sure, when Prophet Muhammed sallahu alayhi wasallam has had the journey of MERAAJ.

Why is the exact date of the event of Meraj not known?

One can figure out from this itself that if Shab-e-Meraj was similar to that of Shab-e-Qadr, then as the details of Shab-e-Qadr are known, the details of Shab-e-Meraj would also have been known. However, since the importance of preserving the date hasn't been found, it is not right to declare 27 Rajab as Shab-e-Meraj.

THE TRUTH ABOUT 'KHEER PURI' ORIGINS AND DETAILS

⭕TODAY'S QUESTION NO. 987⭕

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF 'KHEER PURI' AND HOW DID IT ORIGINATE?

BARELVI SAY THAT IT IS NOT FOLLOWING SHIAA, IF THERE IS SOMETHING RIGHT AND ANOTHER FIRQAH ACCEPTS IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN WE STOP PRACTICING. THERE IS BIG DIFFERENCE IN 'KHEER PURI' WAY OF SHIAA AND SUNNI.

DID HAZRAT JAFAR SADIQ PASSED AWAY IN THE MONTH OF RAJAB?

🔵ANSWER🔵

NEITHER WAS HAZRAT JAFAR SADIQ RAHMATULLAHI BORN OR PASSED AWAY ON 22 OR 25TH OF RAJAB. THE BIGGEST ENEMY OF SHIAA, HAZRAT AMEERE MUAAWIYAH PASSED AWAY ON THIS DAY.

AND HAZRAT JAFAR SADIQ RAHMATULLAHI ALAYHI WAS BORN ON 8 RAMADAN 80 OR 83 HIJRI.

(IF RAJAB MONTH IS MENTIONED, PROVIDE REFERENCES FROM AHLE BARELVI BOOK)

📙(TAREEKHE TABREE SAFHA 239 JILD 4 BEROOT KI CHHAPAI)

THE ORIGINS OF 'KHEER KUNDE' ARE SHIAA AND NOT SUNNI.

IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THEM IF IT WAS BEGUN BY SUNNI AND THEN SHIAA STARTED PRACTICING IT. IT IS HOWEVER, OPPOSITE HERE. HAZRAT AMEERE MUAAWIYAH RADIALLAHU ANHU WGO WAS VERY MUCH AGAINST SHIAA, BEHEADING THEM AND PUNISHING THEM, WHEN PASSED AWAY, HIS DEATH WAS CELEBRATED BY THE SHIAA BY COOKING 'KHIR PURI' AND WHEN SUNNIS FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, THEY CUNNINGLY REFERRED IT WITH HAZRAT JAFAR SADIQ.

OTHER REFERENCE

1.IT IS STILL PRACTICED SUCH THAT THE 'PURI' IS STILL COOKED IN CLOSED VESSEL HIDDEN FROM THE SKY.

2. ONCE PREPARED, GREAT CARE IS TAKEN TO KEEP IT COVERED.

3. FATIHA IS GIVEN IN A DARK PLACE.

4.IT IS TO BE EATEN HIDDEN BEHIND THE CURTAINS.

5 . HAZRAT JAFAR SADIQ IS REFERRED AS 'IMAM' INSTEAD OF 'HAZRAT' BY SHIAA. SIMILIARLY, BARELVI ALSO REFER AS IMAM HENCE FOLLOWING THEM.

6. HAZRAT JAFAR SADIQ RAHMATULLAHI ALAYHI IS NOT A SAHABA, HE IS A VALI. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER AVLIYAA, THEN WHY CELEBRATION ONLY ON HIS NAME?

7. AFTER THE FATIHA, SLOGANS OF 'YA ALI' IS CARRIED OUT. WHY IS

YAA UMAR

YAA USMAN

NOT SHOUTED? THIS IS BECAUSE TO FOLLOW ALI RADEEYALLAGU ANGU AND NOT THE OTHER THRWS KHULAFAA IS THE WAY OF SHIAA.

THERE FORE, IT IS NEEDED TO STAY AWAY FROM SUCH CELEBRATION. AS IT IS FOLLOWING THE SHIAA.

Benefits of Talaaq

⭕Today's Question no. 984⭕

What are the rules and benefits of Talaaq in Islam? Some Indians feel that talaaq system should be abolished. What is wrong in that? How do we answer them?

🔵Answer🔵

Benefits of Talaaq
Nikah is an agreement, in which husband agrees to give mahr, provides her with all her expenses, and treat her in the best of ways.
From the woman side, it is to agree that she won't do anything wrongful, will take care of husband's rights. If either of them, do not complete with their agreements, then like any other agreement, this agreement too needs to be broken. Before breaking it, one tries for a mutual solution and nothing beneficial comes out of it, then husband has the right to divorce her wife and wife has the right to go to the judge (Qazi) to nullify the agreement.
If the husband wife are not fulfilling each others rights, such as if one or both of them does something wrong, it is compared with such a body part or teeth which has decayed and is painful to the entire body and therefore there is nothing wrong with removing it. In fact, it becomes a necessity. In the same way, a disobedient wife can be released from nikah.

📙(AHKAME ISLAM AQL KI NAZAR ME SAFA 218, 219 KA KHULASA)

If there was no divorce in Islam, following disadvantages and problems would have been seen.

Disadvantages of not having Talaaq ruling

1. If the husband and wife were not satisfied with each other and also could not divorce, it would have lead to extra marital relationships.

2. If one of them had less understanding (brain challenges), and no satisfaction, and no divorce, and there would be problems with regards to each others rights.

3. If there was no divorce to get separated, to get rid of them, one would indulge in torture leading to suicides.

4. If there was a misunderstanding, the husband would send the wife to her parents home and wouldn't keep her, in such a way her life would be ruined. He wouldn't take her in and ahe wouldn't be able to remarry.

5. If there were differences between mother in law and wife, and no divorce, and there would be cases of 'accidental deaths'. As can be seen daily in news.

6. If there was no mutual understanding between the husband and wife, and no divorce, then the entire life would be spent in fighting and ultimately suicide.

7. If the husband was impotent, and no treatment would cure him, would not be able to satisfy his wife, and no divorce, then would lead to extramarital affairs.

8. If he was suffering from some incurable disease, and would not bear kids even after treatments, and no divorce, then such a couple would stay childless.

9. If there was no divorce, and there were such fights which would later reconciled, but ones the case was filed, it wouldn't be possible to get it back, because it would mean shameful. According to a survey, there has been many cases of pending divorces of non Muslims compared to Muslims which would otherwise have been reconciled.

10. At times, both the husband and wife are of bad character, because of which they hate each other and fight on regular basis, if there was no divorce, it would be very difficult to spend entire life with each other.

11. If there was monetary problem, For example the amount given by man is not enough for wife or the amount required by the wife cannot be provided by the husband, and there was no divorce, both would indulge in theft, and selling het body and women would be forced to earn money, do business whereas it is not the responsibility of the women to earn. She is the Queen of her home.

12 . After marriage, the husband falls in love with someone else and vice versa, then they would not be happy and invest in one another. If no divorce, they would have to spend entire life with someone they didn't love.

Note : One shouldn't say that we will get settlement through court. At times, it takes years on the case hearing, and lot of time wastage and most of the above mentioned situation happens.

Buying Car (vehicle) on condition

⭕Today's Question no. 983⭕

It is possible nowadays to buy a car at an amount less then its original price. For example, you pay Rs 30,000 and can get a car worth Rs 50,000- 60,000. You can use it for as long as you want, and then it has to be returned. If any damages done, one has to repair it at ones own expenses before handing over. If the car returned is in good condition, the owner gives back the entire amount of Rs 30,000 or reduced amount in case of damage. Is is permissible to buy a car in such a condition?

If not permissible, requesting you to guide us to the permitted way, since many people buy car this way.

🔵Answer🔵

Buying or selling a car with the condition of returning it, is not permissible. When something is purchased, the person becomes the owner of that particular thing. Therefore, application of conditions of returning it makes is a wrongful dealing.

Another wrong option is that the car purchased in such condition is like loan, and to use the vehicle for benefit will be considered interest which is sinful.

The permissible way is to buy and then sell the car with the same amount without any prior conditions. Shariah permits selling verbally. Not necessarily to write any condition. One can promise the person of returning back the car to him in good condition and in return, getting the amount back. It will be morally good for the person to get the car back.
