find another husband for yourself! is this talaaq?

Q. A woman said to her married sister: “It is better be married to another man.” The husband in anger said to his wife: “In that case find another husband for yourself.” Is this statement Talaaq? If yes, what type of Talaaq? The husband says that he had no intention of Talaaq. He made this statement in anger to rebuff the drivel and shameless remark of his sister-in-law. A Mufti says that it is one Talaaq Baa-in, and the marriage has ended regardless of the husband’s intention.
A. The Mufti has erred. In an ambiguous statement, niyyat (intention) is the determinant. If the husband says that he had no intention of Talaaq, then Talaaq did not come into effect. The Nikah remains valid and intact. The sister-in-law acted with extreme immodesty and ignorance.

ALL COMMERCIALLY KILLED BEEF IN SOUTH AFRICA IS HARAAM

JUST AS ALL COMMERCIALLY KILLED ‘HALAALIZED’ CARRION CHICKENS IN SOUTH AFRICA ARE HARAAM, SO TOO IS ALL COMMERCIALLY KILLED BEEF IN THE COUNTRY HARAAM.
All commercially killed bulls and cows are subjected to the most horrendous cruelty of the captive-bolt treatment prior to the slitting of their throats. A long metal bolt is shot into the skull of the animal, smashing the skull and brain brutally. The effect of this brutality causes the animal to drop. Sometimes a second bolt has to be shot depending on the size and strength of the bull.
This cruelty is perpetrated in full view of the other cattle all waiting in queues for their turn to be subjugated to this horrendous torture. The loud bang and the dropping down of their compatriot, result in a state of panic in the lined up cattle. They bellow with fear, trying to escape. But they are firmly hemmed in by the devices in which they are lined up.
After smashing the brain of the bull/cow in this brutal haraam manner, the animal is on the very verge of death. There is no recovering from this vile and cruel brain-smashing process. While the haraam halaalizing outfit claims that the cattle with smashed brains survive until they are slaughtered, many die instantaneously or a few seconds after the brutal act of brain-smashing is effected.
There is some delay after the bolt is smashed into the animals skull, and the act of slitting its throat. After the shooting of the bolt, the animal is mechanically hoisted on one leg. Hanging upside down, it moves on a conveyer chain. In this condition is its throat slit.
Even if it should be stupidly assumed with the objective of deceiving people that all the animals are still alive when their throats are slit, this end product which is the effect of a brutal chain of haraam acts, is totally unfit for Muslim consumption. However, the reality denies the self-deceptive assumption. Many animals with their skulls and brains smashed, perish prior to the actual act of slitting their throats.
Furthermore, Muslims have to understand that they are, according to the Qur’aan Majeed’, “The best of nations” by virtue of the treasure of Imaan in their hearts. They are also Ashraful Makhluqaat (the noblest of creation) by virtue of being Insaan (Human Beings). As such we are not expected to descend to the level of dogs and wild beasts to gratify the crave to consume meat. Muslims are permitted to consume only meat which is slaughtered in accordance with system of Thabah ordained by Allah Ta’ala.
Allah Ta’ala has revealed to us via His Rasool (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) a beautiful, humane system of taking the life of animals. When meat is produced by a brutal kuffaar system which totally displaces the divine system, then it will not be permissible for Muslims to devour the meat of that accursed system whose every detail from beginning to ending is haraam. The evil kuffaar system of killing animals displaces every detail of the Islamic system which is the product of Wahi (Divine Revelation).
It is perfidious for Muslims to consume such accursed meat on the grounds that the act of slitting the four neck vessels overrides and even abrogates all the other essential steps of which Allah’s system consists. Every act, every step in the Shar’i system of Thabah is essential and of fundamental importance regardless of its Fiqhi (Juridical) classification. The act of facing the animal towards the Qiblah is essential and of fundamental importance. Its Sunnatul Muakkadah classification does not detract from its fundamental importance and significance.
The Sahaabah refused to eat meat of animals which were not faced towards the Qiblah. They understood the spiritual harm and detriment of consuming such meat.
The questions are: Who has commanded that the animals should face the Qiblah? Who has instructed that an animal may not be slaughtered in the presence of another animal? Who says that there should be no pre-slaughter infliction of injury to the animal? Who has prohibited the skinning of animals whilst there are still signs of life pulsating in it? And who has ordered all the other don’ts and do’s relative to Thabah and consumption of halaal tayyib meat? The one answer to all these questions is: Allah Azza Wa Jal has ordained these commandments.
Now every Muslim must ponder and reflect. Look deep down into the innermost recesses of your heart where your Imaan resides. Is disobeying a command of Allah Ta’ala insignificant and tolerable? Is it Islamically intelligent to say that it is alright to discard all the acts commanded by Allah Ta’ala as long as the four neck vessels are slit? Is it valid to argue that zina with a woman is alright as long as Nikah will be performed with her? Is it reasonable for a Muslim to commit haraam deeds as long as it is his intention to rectify the haraam and transform it into halaal? Does anyone’s Imaan accept this answer? Did Allah Ta’ala, Nauthubillaah!, issue these commands in idle sport? Are these injunctions meaningless and futile which could be discarded and abandoned at will and fancy or replaced with the ways and methods of the kuffaar? Is this the demand of your Imaan?
Since every step in the kuffaar system of killing animals is brutal and haraam, it is never permissible to consume the meat regardless of the ‘end product’ hypothesis. The ‘end product’ story applies to special circumstances. It is not the norm. In normal circumstances the only valid method permissible is the Shar’i system of Thabah.
In the South African context, in fact in all parts of the world where the kuffaar system of killing has been introduced, the meat is haraam. The reasons for this Ruling are:
The total displacement of the system ordained by Allah Ta’ala
Numerous animals perish before their throats are slit
The horrendous acts of cruelty inflicted on the animals
Absolutely no Chain of Halaal supervision.
With regard to the alleged chain of halaal, the carrion halaalizing outfits are guilty of deliberate LIES. Right from after slaughter to the time the meat reaches the Muslim consumers, there is absolutely no Muslim supervision, neither in the haraam red-meat industry nor in the carrion chicken industry.
For the sake of ensuring the health of their Imaan it is Waajib for Muslims to abstain from all commercially killed beef and carrion chickens. NEVER TRUST THE SATANIC OUTFITS WHO HALAALIZE CARRION IN THE NAME OF ISLAM FOR THE SAKE OF HARAAM RIBA MONEY.

OK then pack yourself and go! IS THIS TALAAQ?

Q. A woman asked her husband for Talaaq. He said: “You are not a good woman”. She then said: “So then if I am not good let me go”. In response the husband said: “OK then pack yourself and go.” The husband takes an oath that he had no intention of Talaaq.
A. If he had no intention of Talaaq, then this statement will not be Talaaq. If his intention was Talaaq, it will be one Talaaq Baain which terminates the Nikah.

a woman who becomes a second wife is a ‘whore’ and a ‘slut’.

Q. I am a divorcee who intends getting married to a married man. My family is dead against the marriage. They say that a woman who becomes a second wife is a ‘whore’ and a ‘slut’. She brings disgrace to the ‘izzat’ (honour and respect) of the family. Please give me some advice. I am in a dilemma. Is it permissible for me to get married without their consent? A. Your family is displaying a crudely un-Islamic attitude akin to kufr. They appear to be victims of Hindu culture. Their attitude and vile statements in deprecation of marrying and being a second wife are undoubtedly kufr. They have lost their Imaan with such statements and attitudes. It is necessary that they renew their Imaan and their Nikah. When Allah Ta’ala has permitted polygamy in the Qur’aan, it is clear kufr to refer to a woman as a ‘whore’, ‘slut’, etc. merely because she chooses to avail herself of a right which Allah Ta’ala has granted. By ‘disgrace’ they are implying that Allah’s Law is bringing disgrace to them. For such people who see ‘izzat’ in Hindu and other kuffaar customs, attitudes and practices, the Qur’aan Majeed says: “What! Do you search for izzat from them (kuffaar)? All Izzat belongs to Allah.” Disgrace is in the commission of haraam, and Izzat is in following Allah’s Shariah. In the circumstances ignore the haraam statements of kufr which your family members are making. You are an adult. According to Islam you can represent yourself. You don’t need anyone to represent you for Nikah. Have a small Nikah. The minimum requisites for the validity of a Nikah is the presence of two male Muslim witnesses, the bride and the bridegroom.

ALL ANIMAL GELATINE IS HARAAM

Q. Some Ulama are of the view that animal gelatine is halaal even if the raw material is from animals slaughtered un-Islamically or even from pigs. They claim that the gelatine is the end product of a process in which total change takes place. Is this correct?
A. Tabdeelul Maahiyat means metamorphosis or a complete change of one substance into another substance which has its own independent existence with its own distinct properties. The popular example given in our kitaabs is that of a dead animal in a saltpan. Putrefaction in time totally transforms the animal into salt. Not a vestige of the animal remains. It is only salt and nothing but salt. This salt is halaal. Tabdeelul Maahiyat has occurred.
Another example is liquor changing into vinegar. These are two entirely different, independent substances. The resultant liquor which is formed from vinegar is not a hybrid substance such as bread for example. In bread-baking there is also a change. In fact a total change from the flour and the other raw ingredients into bread which is not the flour, etc. But the Shariah does not regard metamorphosis as having taken place in bread-baking. Hence if the flour is najis, (impure) or some urine is added to the mixture, or any haraam ingredient, the resultant bread will be haraam despite bread being another item apart from flour.
When an impure substance is burnt and reduced to ash, Tabdeedul Maahiyat has taken place, hence the ash is taahir (paak/pure). Ash is not a hybrid substance. It is an independent substance, not a hybrid substance.
In gelatine manufacture no such metamorphosis occurs. We have explained the process in detail in our book, titled, GELATINE.
Gelatine is a hybrid product such as bread, cake, jam, pudding, ice-cream, etc., etc., etc. It is made from 100% haraam items, including a considerable amount of pork products. The end product stinks and will rot if not refrigerated. It is most assuredly not an independent substance which exists in nature for example. Thus gelatine made from haraam substances is haraam. If you see gelatine manufacture, you will be so nauseated that even if the raw materials are halaal, you will shrink from consuming it.

HARAAM SLAUGHTERING

HARAAM
SLAUGHTERING
Q. I had slaughtered one sheep in the Newcastle Muslim abattoir during the Qur’baani season. This is what I had observed: (1) All sheep were hung upside down by one leg.
(2) Some sheep fell down from the hooks into the blood below.
(3) The sheep saw other sheep being slaughtered. What is the status of the meat in the Shariah? I asked a senior respected Aalim. His response was that it is halaal.. Please comment.
A. The respected senior Aalim had erred. The obligation of the Ulama is to guard and promote Allah’s Deen, not to condone haraam acts and systems of the kuffaar. An Aalim is supposed to be a guide who guides Muslims towards Siraatul Mustaqeem, not away from it. It was therefore highly improper for the Aalim to have said that ‘it is halaal’. An Aalim should not look at an issue in isolation of the Shariah’s overall objectives — moral, spiritual and legal. The lackadaisical attitude of the Aalim is abhorrent in the extreme.
There are two classes of Haraam. (1) Hurmat li ainihi, and (2) Hurmat li ghairihi. Even if all four neck vessels are severed, the meat falls in the second category of Haraam. You will better understand this by the following illustration.
Nikah is halaal and commendable. Everyone knows this fact. But, if in a society there is the system of zina prior to Nikah, then the Nikah despite its permissibility will not be permissible. If zina is stipulated as a precondition to Nikah, then it will not be permissible to get married in such circumstances, that is, first commit zina with the woman, then perform Nikah.
It will not be valid to argue that the end product, Nikah, is halaal, hence the zina is also halaal. Only brainless zindeeqs argue in this fashion. Similarly, even if the end product in the haraam slaughtering process is assumed to be halaal since all four vessels are cut, then too it will not be permissible to consume such meat because this type of haraam process is not an occasional one forced by an urgent/emergency situation. The haraam process is an evil kuffaar system which has displaced the Islamic system., and Muslims, especially the carrion halaalizers, are regarding the haraam brutal kaafir system to be better and superior to the Shar’i system of Thabah.
And, besides all these Fiqhi (juridical) arguments, eating such meat which is the product of violation of Allah’s ahkaam, erodes the nooraaniyat of Imaan. It creates zulmat (spiritual darkness) which extinguishes the capacity of cultivating Taqwa. Even pure, halaal tayyib food prepared by the hands of a zaalim or faasiq has a detrimental affect on our Baatin (spiritual heart).
