Abortion
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly
The Council of Senior Scholars issued the following statement:
1 – It is not permissible to abort a pregnancy at any stage unless
there is a legitimate reason, and within very precise limits.
2 – If the pregnancy is in the first stage, which is a period of forty
days, and aborting it serves a legitimate purpose or will ward off
harm, then it is permissible to abort it. But aborting it at this stage
for fear of the difficulty of raising children or of being unable to
bear the costs of maintaining and educating them, or for fear for their
future or because the couple feel that they have enough children – this
is not permissible.
3 – It is not permissible to abort a pregnancy when it is an ‘alaqah
(clot) or mudghah (chewed lump of flesh) (which ... >>full
Letting garments come below the ankles (isbaal) in general, and with regard to pants in particular
With regard to letting garments come below the ankles (isbaal) in general, and with regard to pants in particular, several points should be noted: 1 – Letting garments touch the ankles is a major sin. The prohibition on isbaal is not only due to arrogance; rather it is haraam in and of itself, and it is itself a kind of arrogance. If arrogance of the heart is added to that, then the sin is greater. Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Ibn al-‘Arabi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It is not permissible for a man to let his garment go past his ankle and say “I am not letting it drag out of pride,” because the prohibition refers to it by name. It is not permissible if a thing is prohibited by name to say “I will not comply with it because the reason ... >>full
Woman taking off some or all of her clothes in a house other than her husband’s house - خلع المرأة ثيابها في غير بيت زوجها
Woman taking off her clothes in a house other than her husband’s house - خلع المرأة ثيابها في غير بيت زوجها
خلع المرأة ثيابها في غير بيت
زوجها
الحديث الذي رواه الإمام أحمد وابن ماجه
والحاكم عن عائشة رضي الله عنها بلفظ : ( أيما امرأة وضعت ثيابها في غير بيت زوجها
فقد هتكت ستر ما بينها وبين الله ) . ورواه أحمد والطبراني والحاكم والبيهقي عن أبي
أمامة رضي الله عنه بلفظ : ( أيما امرأة نزعت ثيابها خرق الله عز وجل عنها ستره )
ومراده صلى الله عليه وسلم والله اعلم : منعها من التساهل في كشف ملابسها في غير
بيت زوجها على وجه ترى فيه عورتها ، وتتهم فيه لقصد فعل الفاحشة ونحو ذلك ، أما خلع
ثيابها في محل آمن ، كبيت أهلها ومحارمها لإبدالها بغيرها ، أو للتنفس ونحو ذلك من
المقاصد المباحة البعيدة عن ...
Maulid Two imprtant points should considered here:
1. Bid'ah Hasnah means that a sunnah which has been neglected by the people and someone revived it such as Omar Ibn Al-Khattab when he made the people to pray Sataut-Taraeeh together in Jama'ah. He did not innovate that, he just revived the action of the Prophet (peace be upon him) which has been neglected. So we cannot innovate or just insert anything in the religion and call it Bid'ah Hasanah (Innovation of Guidance).
2. The birth date and day of the Prophet (peace be upon him) has not been authentically established. What has been established is the date of his death 12 Rabi'ul-Awwal, which means that we are celebrating the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him) not his birth.

The Ruling on Celebrating the Birthday of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Assalamu Alaikum Firstly: There is no festival in Islamic sharee’ah that is called “The Prophet’s Birthday”. Neither the Sahaabah nor the Taabi’een nor the four imams nor anyone else recognized such a day as part of their religion. Rather this festival was introduced by some ignorant Baatini innovators, then the people began to follow this innovation but the imams have denounced it in every time and place. Secondly: Based on this, everything that the people do specially for this day is regarded as haraam, innovated actions, because they intend thereby to keep alive a festival that has been introduced into our religion, such as holding parties, offering food and so on. Shaykh al-Fawzaan said in al-Bayaan li Akhta’ ba’d al-Kuttaab (268-270): The commands in the Qur'aan and Sunnah to follow that which has been prescribed by Allah and His ... >>full
