Question
There is something bothering me. In December I was in Mecca. I was staying in the same hotel as Molana Tariq Jameel. When I was coming down in the lift, a girl was talking on phone. She was telling to someone that she had met Molana Tariq Jameel. She said: "Molana came for few minutes and I met him." A man was also in this lift. This girl said to this man: „You were there too and you made YouTube video. Can you share it with me?" Both are strangers to each other. The man agreed to share video with this girl. To my knowledge pictures are haram, videos are haram, talking to strange men is haram, and looking at men is haram. To my knowledge all this is haram. My question is that we have to show utmost respect to an Alim and we should not think bad of him. But with all this that happened how to have respect for the alim in my heart. Please guide me. Keep me in your prayers I can enter heaven without accountability.
Answer
The chap called Tariq Jamil is dangerous for one‟s Imaan and Akhlaaq. He is a deviate who flagrantly indulges in much haraam. He has no concept of haraam and halaal. He perpetrates fisq and fujoor flagrantly, and then justifies his blatant sinning. Don‟t even listen to any of his talks.
STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER,
GLUED TOGETHER Among the several Ahaa-
dith commanding shoulder to shoulder standing in the Salaat Sufoof (rows), Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) ordered:
"TARAAS-SU!"
This means to stand in such a manner that the shoulders of the Musallis should be pressed against one another, leaving not a gap of even a centimetre. This method of standing in the saff is Waajib. The formation of the sufoof (rows) in almost all Musaajid is absolutely horrible. Wide gaps are left. In the second raka‟t, the gaps tend to widen more. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that Shaitaan occupies the gaps between the musallis in the sufoof (rows). The Shayaateen are invisible and are able to fill even the one or two centimetre gaps which the ignorant and careless Musallis leave. They stand in such haphazard formation as if they have a hatred for the command of ―Taraas-su‖ issued by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
Carelessness in this regard is not the monopoly of the ignorant ones. Even molvis and those who ostensibly are practising Muslims are extremely lackadaisical in saff-formation. The gaps which have become the practice of most musallis, are signs of nifaaq (hypocrisy).
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) warned that the effect of such satanic gaps is mutual hatred. It breeds enmity in the hearts. Musallis should be conscious when they form the sufoof. They should ensure that their shoulders touch. Incorrect standing destroys much of the thawaab of the Salaat.
Musallis should be conscious when they form the sufoof. They should ensure that their shoulders touch. Incorrect standing destroys much of the thawaab of the Salaat. It was the practice of Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) to inspect the sufoof after the Iqaamah to ensure correct formation. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that of the perfection of Salaat is the straightening of the sufoof. This includes standing with shoulders welded as Allah Ta‟ala describes in the Qur‟aan Maeed:
―Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His Path
As if they are a solid wall of steel.‖
(Surah As-Saff)
Allah Ta‟ala loves solid formation of the sufoof in both Jihad and Salaat. The sufoof should be like a solid barrier of steel, not the rubbish covid devil style of rows.
JUMUAH IN MINA
Performing Jumuah Salaat in tents as some people do at Mina is not valid. Jumuah in Mina is valid only if the Imaam is the Ameer of Makkah or the Khalifa. Since this condition is lacking, Jumuah in Mina is not valid.
Shariah is the amount the worker receives. The deducted amount will not be part of the salary in view of the fact that the worker has no right and no control over it. In this case, the interest may not be used to offset the deducted amounts. The interest could be used to pay income tax or any other government or municipal tax/fee.
