SUFFICIENT FOR US IS THE WAY OF SALAF US SAALIHEEN

SUFFICIENT FOR US IS THE WAY OF SALAF US SAALIHEEN

🎓Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee (d.157) رحمه الله said:

“Make yourself patient upon the Sunnah, stop where the people stopped, speak with what they spoke with, and refrain from what they refrained from. And follow the path of your Righteous Predecessors (Salafus Saaliheen) for verily, sufficient for you is that which was sufficient for them.”

#QuotesFromTheSalaf

[ummmaymoonah]

Ibn Abbas(may Allaah be pleased with him)  narrated that the Prophet  (ﷺ)  said: It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman.[Reported by al-Bukhari no. 5232 and Muslim no. 2172].

Shaikh Ibn ul-Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:  “a woman who is a stranger is a woman which there is not between you and her a mahram, like the niece of the paternal and maternal aunt and uncle and what resembles that”. 

And from the prohibited, the Shaykh said: “from it is being alone with the driver, that is, a person has a driver and he has a wife or daughter. It is not allowed for him to have the driver with the woman or daughter alone except with a mahram because being alone in the car is more severe than being alone in the house. When being alone in the car, the driver is able to communicate with her, then they can both go to any place and do Faahisha (unlawful sexual intercourse). Who will prevent him?

So like this it is prohibited for a person to allow his family: his wife, sister, and daughter, to ride alone with the driver, even the distance of five steps. It is never allowed” [Sharh Riyaad us-Saaliheen]

And the Salaf used to say: “It is not permissible to be alone with a women even to teach her the Quran” [Tuhfatul-Mujeeb 252].

The Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and verdicts also said: “It is not allowed for a woman  to be alone with a man who is not from her mahaarim, neither a businessman nor others” [al-Fataawa 17:166]

Taken From:  The Etiquette of the Muslim Woman in the Street. By Abu Fajr Abdul-Fattaah Bin Uthman

[ayeshahumairashaikh]

To the ones who wanted to know my manhaj and my qualification in regards to dīn 1.) I follow the Methodology of Salaf us-Saaliheen which is to adhere to the Qur'an and Ahadîth of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم 2.) I'm not an Aalimah or Faazilah or Haafidah but just a Taalib-ul-Ilm (Student of knowledge). I'm trying to gain the ilm of the dīn of Allah. I just post over here that which is worth sharing and would be beneficial for people. That's why I refrain myself from answering questions related to fiqh because I haven't even smelt it.

Note : There is no concept of meditation in Islaam. Even while praying we are required to keep our eyes open and pray with full concentration unlike meditation where people close their eyes and meditate in such a way that they are not even aware of their surroundings and go into a trance.
