Questions asked to Shaykh Saaleh ibn Ghanam as-Sadlaan [May Allaah
preserve him] in his house after Salaat al-Jumu’ah
14/11/1434 - 22/9/2013
Question: Recently in Britain we have begun to witness a great deal of
problems with the Niqaab. So is it permissible for the woman to remove her
Niqaab or face veil if the Muslims fear harm, violence or extremely difficult
consequences?
Answer: If one fears that there will be violence or her clothes will be
pulled at or she will be hit, then in this case she shouldn’t wear the Niqaab.
If one fears some kind of punishment then she should remove her Niqaab. If a
woman needs to have her identity verified, for example, then she should remove
her Niqaab and afterwards resume wearing it.
Questioner: But removing it is not the general rule, is it,
Oh Shaykh?
Shaykh Saaleh: No, never. If she hears that people are being
attacked or their clothes being pulled off or any form of physical harm, then
she should remove her Niqaab (if there is no harm then she should continue
wearing it).
Questioner: Meaning, we are looking at the greater good?
Shaykh Saaleh: Yes, that’s it!
Question: When is the fourth time one should raise their
hands in Salaah? Is it after the Tashahud or is it connected to the third
Rak’ah?
Answer: There are four places one should raise his hands in
as-Salaah, Takbeerah al-Ihraam (the first Takbeer), this is the view of the
majority of the scholars, before the Rukoo’, after the Rukoo’, this is the view
of a large group of the scholars, and standing after the Tashahud, one should
raise his hands before full stands upright.
Questioner: So the
fourth time one raises his hands is connected to the Tashahud, right?
Shaykh Saaleh: Yes, it is connected
to the Tashahud.
Questioner: I read, Oh Shatkh, that al-Mardaawee was of the
opinion that one raises the hand in the third Rak’ah always and it is not
connected to the Tashahud.
Shaykh Saaleh: No…
Questioner: A ruling connected to this, if one prayed three
straight Rak’aah for the Witr then does he raise his hands in the third Rak’ah,
based on the view of al-Mardaawee?
Shaykh Saaleh: No he shouldn’t
raise his hands because the Hadeeth connects it to the Tashahud and it doesn’t
legislate us to raise our hands after raising during the Witr.
Questioner: So it is always
connected to the Tashahud?
Shaykh Saaleh: Yes.
Question: A man chose a pious wife to get married to and he
was fully satisfied with her but before the wedding he had some major doubts
and whispering from Shaytaan, what do you advise?
Answer: I say: there is no person except that he may have
some sort of whispers. Whispers are only dealt with them being sought to be
stopped or removed or refuted (i.e. one refutes within his own mind the Waswas
he may be experiencing). So as long as the woman is pious then he is like one
finds a white hair on a black bull. He should forget the Waswas.
Question: A man married a woman whom he was pleased with but
after they married he found out that she was possessed by Jinn, what do you
advise?
Answer: Possession can be cured,
either by the recitation of the Quraan and other than that which has been
proven to remove the Jinn. So my view is that, as long as the woman is pious
then he should seek to get her cured, either by reciting upon her or get
someone else to do it or use any form of cure that is useful to remove the
Jinn.
Questioner: So he should not divorce her?
Shaykh Saaleh: No, he shouldn’t as long as he wants to stay
married to her.
Question: A woman is asking that she took a student loan in
ignorance, with the condition that she doesn’t pay the debt until she starts
working? She hasn’t worked and she has no desire to work, does she still need
to pay back the loan?
Answer: What has working got anything to do with the debt?
Questioner: Meaning it is in the contract of the loan.
Meaning, they take a loan and they only are liable to pay it back once they
start working. But the questioner hasn’t started working.
Shaykh Saaleh: They haven’t
started? Then they don’t need to pay anything. If the condition of taking the
loan is that you only pay it back once you start working then the Muslims are
bound by their conditions.
Questioner: But the questioner
fears that the amount they owe is multiplying.
Shaykh Saaleh: The point is that
they don’t owe anything so they don’t need to pay anything, because they have
this condition between them. As long as they have this condition, then the
Muslim is the first to fulfil their conditions.
Question: If one misses Takbeeraat in the Janaazah prayer,
how does he make what he missed?
Answer: If he reaches one of the Takbeers of the Janazah
then he must complete what he has missed.
Questioner: That’s if the deceased is present?
Answer: Yes, even if the deceased is lifted.
