A Reminder For The Sisters

Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan (hafidahullaah) said:
“It is upon the woman who fears Allaah and the hereafter to stay away from what many of the women are doing today such as being lackadaisical with the hijab and easy-going with wearing decorative garments when going outside and being lax with using perfume when going out of the house and intermingling with men and joking with them.

Allaah, The Most High, said to His Prophet’s wives:

“Then do not be soft in speech, lest he in whose heart there is a disease (of fornication) should be moved with desire. But rather speak in an honorable manner.” (Surah Ahzaab: 32)

If a woman has a need to speak to a man that is not one of her mahaarim, she may speak to him, but with a casual tone that has no softness or gentleness in it, and not in a joking or laughing manner.

Rather her speech must be ordinary and in accordance with what necessity dictates a question and an answer  as per the need only.

She must not speak in a tone that appears friendly, laughing or teasing, or in a mellow or beautiful voice, thus stirring the desire of the one who has a disease in his heart. This is based on Allaah’s saying:

“But rather speak in an honorable manner.” (Surah Ahzaab: 32)

So the Muslim women of today must fear Allaah with respect to themselves and their societies.”

The Evil Of The Homosexual

Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jowziyyah رحمه الله تعالى said: 

“Both of them – fornication and homosexuality – involve immorality that goes against the wisdom of Allaah’s creation and commandment. For homosexuality involves innumerable evil and harms, and the one to whom it is done would be better off being killed than having this done to him, because after that he will become so evil and so corrupt that there can be no hope of his being reformed, and all good is lost for him, and he will no longer feel any shame before Allaah or before His creation. The semen of the one who did that to him will act as a poison on his body and soul. The scholars differed as to whether the one to whom it is done will ever enter Paradise. There are two opinions which I heard Shaykh al-Islam (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrate.”

The Husband Must Provide For His Wife

Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān حفظه الله said:


"The husband is entitled to prevent his wife from being hired or employed, as he is supposed to provide for her to meet all her needs. This is also because being hired or employed makes the wife too busy to fully observe her husband's rights or to look after her children. Work may also expose the wife to immoral situations, especially nowadays, when decency and modesty have become rare whereas the callers to evil and immorality have increased. And women nowadays mingle with men in offices and workplaces involving seclusion, so the danger is great and staying away from such places is obligatory without a shadow of a doubt."
