الانتخابات Elections

Democracy came upon the Muslims with many tribulations and from these tribulations is the tribulation of elections. And it is not permissible for a man nor for a woman. It is not permissible for a Jinn nor for an Inss (human). And in it are harms and corruptions which none knowns except Allaah. The Ahlus-Sunnah warn against this Fitan acting upon the statement of Allaah ta'aala:

لِيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْ بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَا مَنْ حَيَّ عَنْ بَيِّنَةٍ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَسَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ﴾; الأنفال:42

(..so that those who were to be destroyed (for their rejecting the Faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence. And surely, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.) (Al-Anfal 8:42)

And also acting upon Allaah's statement:

وَاسْأَلْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ الْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِي السَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لا يَسْبِتُونَ لا تَأْتِيهِمْ كَذَلِكَ نَبْلُوهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ * وَإِذْ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًا اللهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا قَالُوا مَعْذِرَةً إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ * فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ أَنْجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوءِ; الأعراف:163-165].
And ask them (O Muhammad sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) about the town that was by the sea, when they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them for they used to rebel. And when a community among them said: "Why do you preach to a people whom Allâh is about to destroy or to punish with a severe torment?" (The preachers) said: "In order to be free from guilt before your Lord (Allâh), and perhaps they may fear Allâh." So when they forgot the remindings that had been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil.... (Al-A'raf 7:165)

And some of the needy men and women get deluded by the money and so they make them confused in their belief regarding the election. And this is a lie, as the prophet sallalaahu 'alaihi wa aalihi wasallam said:

«لو توكلتم على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصًا وتروح بطانًا»
If you truly trust in Allah as you should trust in Him, He will provide you with sustenance, just as He does to the birds: they go out in the morning with empty stomachs and come back in the evening with full stomachs.

And He honours you with many good, as Allaah said:

وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا * وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ﴾; الطلاق:2-3

And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allâh, then He will suffice him. (At-Talaq 65:2-3)

And Allaah said:

وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَى آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَكَاتٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ

And if the people of the towns had believed and had the Taqwâ (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth (Al-A'raf 7:96)

And Allaah also said:

وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَكَفَّرْنَا عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَلَأَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا التَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ لَأَكَلُوا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ

And if only the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) had believed (in Muhammad sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and warded off evil (sin, ascribing partners to Allâh) and had become Al­Muttaqûn We would indeed have blotted out their sins and admitted them to Gardens of pleasure (in Paradise). And if only they had acted according to the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Qur'ân), they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet. (Al-Ma'idah 5:65-66)

And Allaah also said:

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ فَعَلُوا مَا يُوعَظُونَ بِهِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ تَثْبِيتًا
if they had done what they were told, it would have been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith); (An-Nisa 4:66)

O Muslims! A very beneficial advice, take it and accept it before you feel sorry, not to accept it, in this world and in the hereafter.
Allaah ta'alaa said:

قُلْ مَتَاعُ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٌ
Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world.."(An-Nisa 4:77)

Elections are haraam, as it is the taqleed of the kuffaar, from the branches of Democracy, and Democracy is haraam, as it is the rule of the people themselves with no Book and no Sunnah. And Democracy is kufr. Hizbiyyah is haraam except for the Hizb of Allaah subuhaanahu wata'aala.

The ruling on reciting Faatiha upon the souls of the dead. حكم قراءة الفاتحة وغيرها إلى أرواح الموتى

الشيخ العلامة المحدث يحي الحجوري حفظه الله تعالى
as-Shaykh al-Allaamah al-Muhaddith Yahyaa al-Hajoori (may Allaah preserve him)

السؤال: ما حكم من يقرأ الفاتحة أو شيء من القرآن على أرواح الأموات؟

الإجابة:
هذا أمر محدث، لم يفعله النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ولا أصحابه رضوان الله عليهم، ما كانوا يقرءون على الأموات الفاتحة، أو آية الكرسي، أو المعوذتين، أو قل هو الله أحد، أو شيئًا من القرآن؛ قال صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: «من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد».. وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: «إن الله لا يقبل من صاحب بدعة توبة حتى يدع بدعته» فيجب التوبة من هذا الفعل.

Question: What is the hukm of the one who recites Faatiha or other than that from the Qur'aan upon the souls of the dead?

Answer: This is a newly invented matter, which the Prophet sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam never did nor did the companions ridaawanuAllaah 'alaihim, they did not recite Faatiha upon the dead, nor Ayatul Kursi, nor Mu'awidhatain, nor قل هو الله أحد (Surah Ikhlaas). The Messenger sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam said (which means): 'He who innovates something into this matter of ours will have it rejected'... And also the Messenger sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam said (which means): 'Allaah never accepts from an innovator up until he repents from his innovation'. So it is waajib to make ta'uba (repentence) from this action!

Saying 'where is Allaah?" is not from good manners?

الشيخ العلامة المحدث يحي الحجوري حفظه الله تعالى

السؤال: رجل يقول: من قال: (أين الله؟!) فهو بلا أدب؟

الإجابة:
هذا كلام خطير؛ فرسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم هو الذي سأل الجارية فقال لها: «أين الله»، والحديث في مسلم من حديث معاوية بن الحكم السلمي رضي الله عنه، ولنا في رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أسوة حسنة.

Question: A person says, 'the one who asks, "Where is Allaah?" is doing so without any manners?

Answer: This statement is khateer (dangerous), as the Messenger of Allaah (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was the one who asked the slave girl saying: "Where is Allaah?". This hadeeth is in Muslim, from the hadeeth of Mu'aawiyah ibn al-Hakam as-Salamee (radiAllaahu anhu). And the Messenger of Allaah (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) is the best of examples.

Ruling of importing, selling, buying and eating chicken and other meat slaughtered in the lands of Kufr.

Shaykh Aboo Abdi Rahmaan Yahyaa bin 'Ali al-Hajoori

Question: What is the ruling of importing chicken meat from the lands of Kufr? The likes of those named 'French Chicken' or other than that which are imported from the lands of Kufr? What is the ruling of eating them? Selling them? and buying them? Is this trade permissible?

Answer: The conditions for the correctness of a slaughtering of animals, chickens, or their likes of what Allah has made permissible to eat from their meat are: that the slaughterer be a Muslim or from the people of the book, and that the name of Allah is mentioned on it before it was slaughtered in order for it to be according to the Islamic way, as Allaah said:

الْيَوْمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلُّ لَّهُمْ
Made lawful to you this day are At­Tayyibât [all kinds of Halâl (lawful) foods, which Allâh has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, etc., milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits, etc.). The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them. [Surah al-Maidah: 5]

And Allaah also said:

لاَ تَأْكُلُواْ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ
Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allâh's Name has not been pronounced (at the time of the slaughtering of the animal), for sure it is Fisq (a sin and disobedience of Allâh). [Surah al-An'aam: 121]

And the hadeeth of Shadaad bin Aws (radiAllaahu 'anhu) in Saheeh Muslim, that the Prophet (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ (Allaah has prescribed al-Ihsaan on everything) and also : وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ (If you slaughter, slaughter with Ihsaan). These slaughtered meat imported from France and from other than them from the lands of Kufr, either chicken and other meat, from what I know is that they don't fulfill the Shuroot as-Sihhah (conditions of the correctness) for the slaughtered animal to be eaten. As it is shown by the adillah (evidences), it is waajib to avoid eating such meat that are imported by the lands of kufr, and avoid selling them and other such trades which are promoted among the muslims as the hadeeth states: إن الله إذا حرم شيئًا حرم ثمنه (Verily if Allaah forbids somethng, He forbids earning from it.) Allaah has instead given us wealth of animals in this country (yemen) and other countries from the imports from the lands of Muslims. And with this richness it is haraam to eat the slaughtered animals in question, and (it is haraam) to buy them as the Messenger of Allaah said: إنه لا يدخل الجنة لحم نبت من سحت (أي من حرام) النار أولى به. (Any flesh that grows from ill-gotten gains is more deserving of being touched by Hell-fire).

These slaughtered animals raise doubt and suspicion for its permissibility or forbidennes on the intellect, the Messenger (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: دع ما يريبك إلى ما لا يريبك (Leave the doubtful matters to that which you don't have doubt), and the hadeeth is saheeh which is narrated from Hasan bin 'Ali (radiAllaahu anhu), and the Messenger (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: فمن اتقى الشبهات استبرأ لدينه وعرضه (Whoever avoids the doubtful matters, he has absolved himself (from wrongdoing) in his religion and in his honor.) Agreed upon on Nu'maan bin Basheer (radiAllaahu anhu). And all praise is due to Allaah.

نصائح علماء السلفية لأهل السنة في الجزر المالديفية-.2.1

Nasyha of 'Ulama as-Salafiyyah to Ahlu-Sunnah of Maldives. (Part 2.1, the english translation)
Nasyha of al-Fadeelat as-Shaykh
Yahyaa bin Alee al-Hajoori (Hafidhahullaah):

النصيحة الشيخ يحيى بن علي الحجوري -حفظه الله

It was asked, 'What is your advice to the Ahlu Sunnah of Maldives?'
Allaamah Naasihul Ameen Shaykh Yahya bin Alee al-Hajoori replied:

My advice to them is to seek knowledge, as the prophet (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:
من يرد الله به خيرا يفقهه في الدي
" If Allaah is pleased with someone, He gives him the fiqh (understanding) of the religion."
And also he (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:
خيركم من تعلم القران و علمه
"The best of you are those who learn the Qur'aan and teach it"

(And Allaah said:)يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ
"Allâh will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge. And Allâh is Well-Acquainted with what you do." (Al-Mujadilah 58:11)

And knowledge is virtuous for the slave and is a noor (light) for him too as Allaah has named it:
أَوَمَنْ كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَاهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُورًا يَمْشِي بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ كَمَنْ مَثَلُهُ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِنْهَا
Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and disbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) and set for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men, like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can never come out? (Al-An'am 6:122)

And Allaah said:
وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِى مَا الْكِتَـبُ وَلاَ الاِْيمَـنُ وَلَـكِنْ جَعَلْنَـهُ نُوراً نَّهْدِى بِهِ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِن عِبَادِناً وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِى إِلَى صِرَط مُّسْتَقِيم
"And thus We have sent to you (O Muhammad) Ruhan (an Inspiration, and a Mercy) of Our Command. You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this Qur'ân) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily, you (O Muhammad) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path (i.e. Allâh's religion of Islâmic Monotheism). (Ash-Shura 42: 52)"

Knowledge is the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of guidance (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam). Allaah Azza wajal said:
هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً
He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), that He may make it (Islâm) superior over all religions. And All-Sufficient is Allâh as a Witness. (Al-Fath 48:28)

And the guidance is the beneficial knowledge, and the religion of truth, and that is the 'amal as-saalih. This is what I advice you with, obedience to Allaah subuhaanahu wata'aala and avoidance of bid'ah, shirk and superstitions...And implement the Sunnah as the prophet sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam said:
عليكم بسنتي وسنة الخلفاء الراشدين المهديين ، عضّوا عليها بالنواجذ ، وإياكم ومحدثات الأمو
'Upon you is to follow my Sunnah and Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs after me, and hold on to it with your molar teeth, and Beware of newly invented matters"

And Allaah 'Azza waJal said:
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ
Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day and remembers Allâh much. (Al-Ahzab 33:21)
And also said:
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْراً أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالاً مُّبِيناً
It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error. (Al-Ahzab 33:36)

And Allaah subuhaanahu wata'aala said:
فَلاَ وَرَبِّكَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىَ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ يَجِدُواْ فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُواْ تَسْلِيماً
But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission. (An-Nisa 4:65)
And He,Azza waJal also said:
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ
Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow
(Al-Ahzab 33:21)

Yahyaa bin Alee al-Hajoori (Hafidhahullaah):
النصيحة الشيخ يحيى بن علي الحجوري -حفظه الله

ما نصيحتكم لأهل السنة في جزر المالديف؟
نصيحتنا لهم بطلب العلم لأن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول من يرد الله به خيرا يفقهه في الدين و يقول صلى الله عليه و سلم خيركم من تعلم القران و علمه {يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ}و العلم يعتبر فضيلة للعبد و يعتبر نورا أسماه الله عز و جل :{أَوَمَنْ كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَاهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُورًا يَمْشِي بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ كَمَنْ مَثَلُهُ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِنْهَا}و يقول الله :{وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِى مَا الْكِتَـبُ وَلاَ الاِْيمَـنُ وَلَـكِنْ جَعَلْنَـهُ نُوراً نَّهْدِى بِهِ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِن عِبَادِناً وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِى إِلَى صِرَط مُّسْتَقِيم}فعلم كتاب الله و سنة رسوله هدى قال الله عز وجل :{هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً}و الهدى هو العلم النافع والدين الحق هو العمل الصالح هذا الذي أوصيكم به بطاعة الله سبحانه و تعالى و اجتاب البدع و الشركيات و الخرافات ...و تطبقوا السنة لقد قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم :(عليكم بسنتي وسنة الخلفاء الراشدين المهديين ، عضّوا عليها بالنواجذ ، وإياكم ومحدثات الأمور)و الله عز و جل يقول:{لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ}و يقول:{وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْراً أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالاً مُّبِيناً}و يقول الله سبحانه:{فَلاَ وَرَبِّكَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىَ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ يَجِدُواْ فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُواْ تَسْلِيماً}و يقول عز وجل :{لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ }...
