I have watched lectures of Yasir Qadhi from early 2000's to this day , he has evolved and matured in his knowledge, he is definitely not a sellout , he is just balancing and his utmost priority is nobody should ever leave islam
Sometimes I can only laugh at the situation we Muslims get ourselves in. We migrated to non Muslim countries and then scratching our heads on how to reconcile ours and their cultures/laws. It's a case of pursuing economic goals first then figure out how to follow Islam after. Pretty messy situation!
Great point I will like to add this doesn’t need to be the case, we can make Hijra and live even better lives in terms of dunya (great homes, many accommodations, being wealthy) plus Akhira,
Right now I can only laugh while reading your comment and wonder how can a person think in such a manner in this new technologically linked world. Due to cultural, economic, geopolitical globalisation, Issues faced by a Muslim in america and other in Saudia are converging and it's only a matter of time that Muslims in the latter place would have to figure out same questions.Its not a futile exercise,atleast not nowadays. And yess, when I say Muslim, I do not just mean salafis/Arabs in their comfy bubbles enabling them to practice deen (may Allah preserve their practice) without much deterrence from outside world, I mean an average struggling Muslim youth in Indonesia, India or west
While I largely agreed with these respected scholars, the sections discussing women having careers betrayed extensive ignorance on Dr. Hatem el Haj. I've extensively studied history and political science (including taken quite a few classes in gender studies) so I'm somewhat educated on this subject. Claiming that women historically lacked careers not due to patriarchal restrictions but because jobs were unsuitable for them overlooks the significant socio-economic and cultural barriers women faced. Patriarchal norms during the Industrial Revolution relegated women to low-paying, labor-intensive jobs, while men dominated higher-paying skilled trades. Legal and institutional barriers further restricted women, preventing them from entering professions like medicine, law, and higher education. Women could have excelled in fields like science, engineering, and business if not for these restrictions. Their exclusion from many careers was driven by patriarchal structures, not by a lack of capability or interest.
I see so many times in North America women abusing law of the land and taking kids and 50% of husbands assets when during divorce. Which is totally haram, a major sin and makes that woman a zalim. She should be scared of the day of judgement. I hope imams address this issue and tell the Muslim women how big of a sin they are committing
Shariah civil law is a man made law that is why it was subject to change depending on the condition many low information Muslims confuse with the general Islamic principles with the civil law.
Where does it say that Islamically? This line of thought has not been present in Islamic Scholarship. Using your logic, doesn't the man's mother and father deserve to have even more right to his savings??? They birthed, fed, clothed him and taught him all he knows.
Of course its haram, what he means is if she didnt not contribute financially at all, the man brings in all the money to the marriage and during the marriage and after a few years she rips him for 50% of all his worth
i see so many muslim men abusing their women so thats a bigger sin and so tell the muslim men how big of a sin they are committing. lmao. these muslim men are the cause of divorce but then feel sad when face their consequences. womp womp
Ettequte, adab, dressing contribute to acts if worship. Some people can be encouraged to strengthen their imaan through prayer while others it can be through dressing. All are equally important. It is not right for religious leaders to put dressing and ettequete in the back seat to focus on prayers only. The very act of properly dressing and interacting as a Muslim can be a catalyst to encourage more prayer.
As far as their discussion about conventions and giving a softer, more gentle variety of Islam since many attendees aren’t very observant. Fair enough, I can understand that logic. But whenever these shaykhs are lecturing at these conventions they should be saying in the same lecture something to the effect “I’m not focusing on the stricter aspects of our religion because I know many of you may be struggling with observance. Use this convention/lecture as a stepping stone, but understand your goal should be to graduate to a more observant, stricter practice of our religion”. Otherwise less observant muslims are going to think Islam is about going to think Islam is about going to a convention every once and awhile, getting my emotions engaged and then going back to normal life once the convention is over.
Walaikumusalaam Wa rahmatullahi Wa barakahatuhu Alhumdulillah for this very informative discussion. Thank you sooo much for discussing the conflicts and injustices that occur between working couples as well as when a woman is in the role of a homemaker and difficult situations that arise. I greatly appreciate that you are discussing how best to implement gender interactions while following Allah (swt)’s teachings of lowering gaze, hijab etc,. Pleeease share and have future detailed discussions on these topics as it will benefit the Ummah in sha Allah. Jazakum Allahu khairun Barak Allahu Feek, Aameen As salaam u alaikum Wa rahmatullahi Wa barakahatuhu
What a fascinating conversation. Amazing to hear two real scholars discuss very difficult issues in respectful and comprehensive manner. I’m so tired of the muslims influencers building their entire personas around “owning” other Muslims or trying to show off how much more tough they are than others. I hope Shaykh Yasir makes these podcasts regular with a variety of guests coming on. I love when scholars of different schools interact and we get to see that they actually respect one another despite their differences. Would love to see Hamza Yusuf or Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar on here and to have discussions about tassawuf.
Jazak Allah kairan Shayookh. We benefitted from your fruitful discussion. We need more in-depth discussion on men and women rights and duties in marriage. Because the way things are heading, it is becoming more and more unattractive for young men to get married and start a family.
What will happen when a women shares the cost along with raising kid and household activities, she should get more than 50 percent ? There is lots of issues in case of divorce. And when the husband does not give mahr.
This is an important question you raise; sadly there are no replies. I hope it is a question that will be addressed by our presenters in future talks - inshaAllah!
If a woman has rights to up to 50% of the assets of a man she's divorced, as it is in some states in the US, what'll his widow to be entitled to ? It may be fair to claim to the extent of your contribution to those asserts, but claiming 50% or whatever is nothing but zhulm, and a lady who claims that much from a man she's divorced certainly has sinned against Allah. Not even one's Mother gets 50% when a man dies according to the sharee'ah, what then legitimizes for a divorced woman half of a man's sweat ? It may be the law in the US, so do the laws there permit alcohol, zina, riba etc.
I wish you would have delved deeper in to the issue of alimony. What if the woman filed for divorce against the man? What if the man his divorced the woman due to her being unfaithful?
Thank you so much for this fruitful discussion, i learnt new things Dearest Sheikh, kindly bring other scholars and you be the moderator to discuss on modern issues
I respect yasir qadhi and the knowledge he has, but I feel like he focuses more on the emotional aspects of things when it comes to Allahs rulings, how people would feel which i think is not ideal because I am a psychologist and from a psychological perspective people need to hear the harsh truth at times so that it really is ingrained in them. Jazakullah khair
There's needs to be a level of self accountability or peer accountability at these large conventions where family members and or friends keep each other in check to apply proper segregated and to not free mix too much. Why put so much pressure on the organizers? They are not baby sitters to baby sit grown adults who's parent failed to instill proper islamic values in them when they were young.
Sheikh i please request you to make a video on how to explain to non muslims why we slaughter and sacrifice animals on Bakrid , especially in subcontinent, its becoming more and more of an issue , if you would dedicate an hour then it would be a great favour
All these problems will be solved by teaching tawheed the right way. We need to fear Allah the way he deserves to be feared and Allah, with his infinite mercy will help us overcome all the problems in our societies. May Allah guide us to the straight path. Amin
Man does not decide the divorce. So it's not the man "giving" divorce. The court grants divorce. At that point, the court decides how the property is divided. It depends on lot of things; what the woman is earning, how many kids, how long they were marries etc. At a high level she's generally entitled to an equal portion.
I was talking to someone recently that in Denmark they stun the animal before slaughtering them because they say they don’t want to give pain - I said that as a Muslim I believe that Allah loves his creatures more than us so the way we are asked to do halal slaughtering has to be the best and the right way because Allah knows best and they said yes but at that time stunt guns were not invented now that they are then this is the better way - Is it?
how can a govt enforce personal level ibadah on the Muslim citizens like hijab? no one can enforce any personal level ibadah or any personal level haram.
Hijab is not a personal level ibadah, hijab has been commanded by Allah, obviously we can not force a woman to wear it, but if she chooses not to wear it she is sinful, but from a societal perspective to protect and maintain the purity of society governments can establish the law of enforcing hijab.
Assalaamu alaikum some sins like not wearing hijab affect the entire community, and in this scenario gov can enforce Islamic modesty to protect all of its Muslim citizens
You do know that Zakat is also enforced by a Shariah run government right? Zakat isn't just a personal ibadat like dhikr. It is essential to the wellbeing of all society. Likewise being modest and covering your awrah is essential to society at large, not the individual. Therefore it can absolutely be enforced.
The question is simple where in books of sunnah that says a Muslim ruler can levy taxes on alcohol. Please share and make sure it is authentic before sharing
The answer was simple and given. If you missed it check 22.11 from the talk. You have also asked for the evidence from two people who are in conversation with each other. They seem to be well aware of the evidence.
@@aleemazeez263 Which was in regards to the people of the covenant (Dhimmies). They can keep pigs or gain wealth through alcohol, which can not be collected as Jizya. Hence they sell and pay their Jizya in currency. This has nothing to do with Muslims and can never be applied to them. That is the problem of the discussion of these types of people, they talk to confuse and their followers understand half of the half.
It's not the book itself that is from Allah but it's the prophet's conduct (PBUH) that is from Allah and this book just documents it while rigorously fact checking the weak and the certified hadiths with multiple chains of transmission. The fact that Bukhari is Uzbek doesn't mean anything
I have watched lectures of Yasir Qadhi from early 2000's to this day , he has evolved and matured in his knowledge, he is definitely not a sellout , he is just balancing and his utmost priority is nobody should ever leave islam
You both are people whom I most look up to in matters of ilm, please keep these conversations going!

This is human. People go where life takes them. The basics of islam should already be in your pocket. Islam is easy people make it hard

Because young men are entitled.

In the US, depending on your state, adultery can completely bar your spouse from receiving alimony

Sh Hatem Al-Haj is truly a Faqeeh.
I respect yasir qadhi and the knowledge he has, but I feel like he focuses more on the emotional aspects of things when it comes to Allahs rulings, how people would feel which i think is not ideal because I am a psychologist and from a psychological perspective people need to hear the harsh truth at times so that it really is ingrained in them. Jazakullah khair
The popular Salafi method is one that is harsh and over focuses on technicalities. I don't think we need more of that.
You're a psychologist..not a mujtahid.
This is exactly what people need to start understanding and acceptin
Brilliant discussion- look forward to further episodes

When a women files for divorce in US courts and the man has not divorced her is she still entitled to 50 percent of his assets

i think you need to arrange for people that disagree with for discussion
We don't need to advocate for the devil here.

They shouldn't but they can enforce it as a modesty rule in society and it wouldn't differ from world rulings on dress code.
Veiling is not act of worship it’s just tradition.
wish this conversation was in English
This is a great discussion. But not for the lay man
The question is simple where in books of sunnah that says a Muslim ruler can levy taxes on alcohol. Please share and make sure it is authentic before sharing
Can have this discussion onces a legitimate Khalifa exist. Atm all rulers follow their respective constitution not shariah
He cited Umar RA saying "let them sell it...but tax them".
The answer was simple and given. If you missed it check 22.11 from the talk. You have also asked for the evidence from two people who are in conversation with each other. They seem to be well aware of the evidence.
In the video, it was said done during Umar time as khalifah
@@aleemazeez263
Which was in regards to the people of the covenant (Dhimmies).
They can keep pigs or gain wealth through alcohol, which can not be collected as Jizya. Hence they sell and pay their Jizya in currency.
This has nothing to do with Muslims and can never be applied to them.
That is the problem of the discussion of these types of people, they talk to confuse and their followers understand half of the half.
mic in mouth
tbh, i cant understand dr hatem's accent. I tried so hard to listen but failed to understand a word he said.
more than accent, I think it's because his voice is a bit low. Try using headphones.
also try turning on auto generated captions on
We need to stop treating a Uzbek Hadith book like it's from Allah and abandoning the Quran like is prophesized in the Quran.
