Being an Indian, We can't allow CAA and NRC done... It's the matter of Nationality. Its our responsibility to protest against their decision to make them rethink about their act. If we stay calm at our homes things gonna be wrong. So pls pray for us to succeed in our efforts. May Allah help us all. Ameen

Protest are haram

[@ziasmailbox]

@Hamid Hussein There are shuyookh who are ihkwani, deobandi, khariji, and hizbi in arab too... I m not talking about them. When I mean shuyookh i only mean the ones who are full of wisdom (and not all).. for example.. shaikh ibn baz has massive book of fatwa on protest (I have read the brief of it).. and Wallahi it underlines step by step mishaps that can happen while protest.. and from among them all of which i witnessed in the indian protest step by step happening one after other.. I was taken aback That ibn Baaz rahimahullah had such an insight about protests.

[@ziasmailbox]

@Hamid Hussein just as you said they pretend to be salafis.. .that is how they also pretend to be madkhali...(make a group).. but among the scholars whose names are taken for groupism there is no difference between them.for us salafis we are Wahab,i madhkhali, bukhari maliki, hanbali, albaniyan, fawzaani .. and all of the strands which comes from salafi scholars... and no scholar is protected from minor mistakes... and all of the scholars who have sanad to Rasulullah sallahualaihiwasallam and upon whom senior scholars have witnessed good are our scholars.. and hibiyaah is the thing against which salafi scholars have spoken a lot.. the SPUBS case is a fine example.. scholars don't approve of them

Does anyone have any reference regarding the protest by Muslims in Baghdad upon Jerusalem being conquered by the Crusaders?

[@stevenv6463]

It was fifth or later crusade I think. The ruler literally gave the crusaders Jerusalem and people were very upset. Though the agreement gave the crusaders such limited power that they lost it after their agreement ended.

[@adnanbipu5610]

It his been narrated through a different chain of transmitters, on the authority of Hudhaifa b. al-Yaman who said: Messenger of Allah, no doubt, we had an evil time (i. e. the days of Jahiliyya or ignorance) and God brought us a good time (i. e. Islamic period) through which we are now living Will there be a bad time after this good time? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. I said: Will there be a good time after this bad time? He said: Yes. I said: Will there be a bad time after good time? He said: Yes. I said: How? Whereupon he said: There will be leaders who will not be led by my guidance and who will not adopt my ways? There will be among them men who will have the hearts of devils in the bodies of human beings. I said: What should I do. Messenger of Allah, if I (happen) to live in that time? He replied: You will listen to the Amir and carry out his orders; even if your back is flogged and your wealth is snatched, you should listen and obey. وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَسَّانَ - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلاَّمٍ - حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلاَّمٍ، قَالَ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا بِشَرٍّ فَجَاءَ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ فَنَحْنُ فِيهِ فَهَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ هَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَهَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي أَئِمَّةٌ لاَ يَهْتَدُونَ بِهُدَاىَ وَلاَ يَسْتَنُّونَ بِسُنَّتِي وَسَيَقُومُ فِيهِمْ رِجَالٌ قُلُوبُهُمْ قُلُوبُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فِي جُثْمَانِ إِنْسٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ لِلأَمِيرِ وَإِنْ ضُرِبَ ظَهْرُكَ وَأُخِذَ مَالُكَ فَاسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Your husband is just one of those who take sects..so as soon as he knows the speech is from another sect..then it's just wrong...we Muslims look on evidence not who is the speaker...apart from shias of course......I'm a Sunni..but I agree with sheikh Asim from evidence he gave and what we see currently in our own current world...

Who decides what’s local? Is the Houston, TX Sheik non-local for Sacramento, CA? Is the Sheik in Mexico local for Hondurus? The random political boundaries set up are valid? Is Sheik in Muscat, Oman is non-local for Abu Dhabi? What if some Sheik comes along in San Francisco and says any meat is okay or gays are okay or khimar is optional and says Sheik in New York is not qualified to criticize him because he does not know the situation on ground in San Francisco? Isn’t the whole point of Islam is to have one set of rules for all?

[@aimz4178]

It's not the same as other fiqh issues that are clear cut in quran and sunnah, for example salah or alcohol. So that's why you will not get a different view about those things because they are fixed. No ulema can change that based on any reasons. But those things that arent clear cut mentioned, like protests, will be treated case by case, as YQ said, on the knowledge of the Ulema, depending on the situation, time and region. Its that simple.

[@RAMESHKOTIKALAPUDI]

@@aimz4178 It may look very clear cut to you. But you’ll be surprised. You can hear differences of opinion on issues as high and supposedly clear as interest (riba). Not that long ago there seems to have been unanimous consensus in ulema on anything to do with riba is haram. You hear sheiks in non-muslim countries nowadays, you can clearly see this issue is treated as “local” by them. Interestingly any sheik that faithfully follows the older opinion is slowly falling out of favor of their own community.
