Different Forms Of Charity - Hadith 25

عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه و سلم يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الدُّثُورِ بِالْأُجُورِ؛ يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي، وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ، وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ بِفُضُولِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ. قَالَ: أَوَلَيْسَ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ مَا تَصَّدَّقُونَ، إنَّ بِكُلِّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ صَدَقَةً، وَكُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ صَدَقَةً، وَكُلِّ تَحْمِيدَةٍ صَدَقَةً، وَكُلِّ تَهْلِيلَةٍ صَدَقَةً، وَأَمْرٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَنَهْيٌ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي بُضْعِ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ

قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيَأْتِي أَحَدُنَا شَهْوَتَهُ وَيَكُونُ لَهُ أَجْرٌ؟ قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ وَضَعَهَا فِي حَرَامٍ أَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرٌ فَكَذَلِكَ إذَا وَضَعَهَا فِي الْحَلَالِ، كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Narrated by Abū Dharr radiyAllāhu Anhu that a few people among the companions of RasūlAllāh ﷺ told him: O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ! The wealthy folk have garnered plenty of reward; they pray as we pray; they fast as we fast – however, they give in charity from the wealth they have in excess [1].

Heﷺ replied:

[Why do you say so?][2] Has Allāh táālā not given you the means to [compete with their] charity? Every tasbīĥ [3] is charity; Every takbīr [4] is charity, Every taĥmīd [5] is charity; Every tahlīl [6] is charity. Enjoining the good is charity. Forbidding from evil is charity. And [permitted] [7] sexual intimacy is [a form of] charity.

The companions asked: “O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ! If we go near [our women] with lust, will we get a reward?”

He ﷺ replied:

Do you not see, that if he had done that in a manner that is forbidden, it would be a sin? Similarly, if he did that in a manner that is permissible, he certainly deserves a reward.

Reported by Muslim.[8]

Notes:

[1] That is, we pray and they pray; we fast and they fast. But they give in charity from the wealth they possess – but we are poor and we do not have enough to satisfy our own needs. So they get reward for their charity – and thus they have surpassed us in gaining reward. And we have remained behind due to our circumstances.

[2] See Al-Fat’ĥ al-Mubīn

[3] Glorifying Allāh; uttering the phrase: Sub’ĥānAllāh.

[4] Proclaiming that Allāh is the Greatest; uttering the phrase: Allāhu Akbar.

[5] Praising Allāh; uttering the phrase: Al-ĥamdu lillāh.

[6] Proclaiming that Allāh is One; uttering the phrase: Lā ilāha ill’Allāh.

[7] That is with one’s spouse, or in earlier times, with one’s own slavegirl.

[8] Muslim 1006.

","

The Query:

Can a wife perform her salah with her husband on one prayer mat (musallah)?

The Answer:

It is permissible for the wife to stand behind her husband and not side by side with her husband in Salah. In this manner it is permissible for her to perform her Salah. On the contrary, if the wife stands side by side to join the jama'at of her husband without any space for another person to stand, then her Salah will not be valid. If the husband had made the niyyah (intention) of jama'at with his wife while she is standing side by side with him, then the Salah of both of them will not be valid.

Query:

A man inserted his penis between a female’s thighs and after emission, semen entered into the vagina or if he had intercourse with a virgin and he also emitted semen but the hymen, i.e. vaginal tissue did not break, is Ghusl Waajib upon the female?

Answer:

In this case Ghusl is not Waajib upon the woman but if it is later established that she is pregnant then Ghusl becomes Waajib upon her. In this case, she must repeat all the Namaaz which she performed from the time of being intimate, until the time she makes Ghusl.

Query 1:

If a person fell asleep in state of arousal (Shahwat) and cannot remember the dream, is Ghusl still Waajib upon him?

Answer:

If before sleeping he was in a state of arousal and the male organ was erect then when he woke up, he found traces of it and there is a predominant likelihood of it being ‘Mazee’ i.e. pre-ejaculation fluid, but he cannot remember the dream, then Ghusl is not Waajib unless there is a predominant likelihood of it being ‘Manee’, i.e. semen.

Query 2:

What happens in the case if before he went to sleep he had no feeling of sexual arousal?

Answer:

If before he went to sleep he had no feeling of sexual arousal at all or if he did have a feeling of sexual arousal but it had already subsided just before going to sleep and that which was emitted was already cleaned out i.e. thinking it is nothing related, then in this case there is no need for there to be a predominant likelihood of it being semen; the mere presumption that it could be semen is sufficient in this scenario to cause the Ghusl to become Waajib. This law is a common one and yet many are unaware of it. We must pay careful attention to this.
