History

I have studied on some fatwas on various fiqhs regarding the awrah of slave women, some scholars have said breasts are not a part of the awrah, but it's obligatory to cover up breasts, like some scholars from shafi'i, maliki, some hanafis said they could show but in presence of fitnah they have to cover up and some other parts of the hanafi scholars said even breasts were a part of her awrah (slave women awrah similar to mahram woman). From the hanbali school, Ibn Taymiyaah, Sh. Uthaymeen they said it was wajib to cover up their breasts. I apologize in advance if i said something wrong.


My questions are as follows,
1. Was it halal or makruh or haram for them to reveal their breasts to non mehram as they pleased? ( like serving men or walking out bare chested in public as they pleased). Given if we see in history there was a lot of fitnah from them.

2. In slave markets, i understand the inspections were permitted based on their legal awrah (everything besides navel to knee) but the practice of default bare chested display for convenience or parading them bare chested for attracting the highest bids, were these practices halal ? or even makruh? or haram?

3. Also, a sensitive question, during inspection of slave women, was it permissible to uncover her awrah for old practices such as "virginity inspection" or was uncovering her awrah totally prohibited?

4. Some scholars said they had no sanctity, does that mean any kind of display or inspection was possible in the slave market? I believe Every human being has dignity, but what does this mean in this context?

5. How can this ruling be makruh (if it is) when it clearly causes fitnah, exploitation and social disruption? I understand there are no clear cut textual evidence, but by extension of broader principles of fitnah prevention and modesty rules, shouldn't this be elevated to haram?

6. Maliki school said it was makruh to uncover the chest, then why did Imam malik strongly condemned this behavior and going as far as to punish the slave women going out bare chested? Do makruh things get punished?

I apologize in advance if i offend anyone, i'm just trying to find answers that have been bothering me for some time. Thank you.

May Allah bless you, Ameen.

I have heard Shia relatives and people on social media question why Aisha (RA) was on her camel, at night when everyone else was sleeping, if we claim that she never intended to start a war and why she did not leave the battlefield and refuse to fight Ali (RA) like some of the other companions did. I think I do have an answer for this, but I want an answer that is accurate and backed with evidence.

I have a friend who is an Israelite. She is looking in to Islam and cant seem to understand a few things about the history of Islam. I am not sure what information to give her and for this reason I am hoping you are able to shed some light on the following topics and Insha Allah I can forward the information to her as she continues her journey towards finding Islam.

1) Who does Allah's covenant lie with, Ismaeel a.s or Ishaaq a.s? Can you please give some information regarding the proof of this?

2) As an Israelite, they claim to be the children of Israel, also referred to as Bani Israel in the Quraan. My friend has mentioned to me that in the Quraan Allah has mentioned that the the Israelites were amongst His most loved people, her question is, why did Allah abandon them?

3) I understand Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was commanded by Allah to marry Hadhrat Aisha ra at the age of 6 and their marriage was consummated when she was aged 9, There is hadith in sahih bukhari that mentioned that Aisha ra was still at a stage in her life where she would play with dolls, just like a child, whilst being married to our beloved Nabi. How do I explain this to her? As in this day and age a 9 year old is a small child and it is difficult to comprehend why Allah would order the Nabi to do this.

4) In Surah An nisa there is a verse regarding ones wife where it is advised 'But if they still persist, then discipline them gently' Is Allah giving the husband permission to physically harm his wife? I understand the term 'Gently' is used, however, this can be taken out of context as men in this day and age will pick and choose which words from the Quraan suit them. Why would Allah allow a man to put his hands on his wife, even if it is gently?

Assalamualejkum

I would like to have a thorough, scholarly understanding of what occured between Sayyiduna Mu'awiyyah RA and Imam Ali RA. Is it possible to get in contact with a scholar to discuss this topic or to purchase a course, or pay a scholar by the hour that deals with this topic? I have read Dr. Muhammad Ali As-Sallabis book on The First Fitnah but would like to discuss with (Hanafi) scholars or experts in islamic history concerning the topic.
Hope you can bring me in contact with someone.

Assalamualaikum.
as we all know we all were conceived by our parents, due to which we have a belly button because of the umbilical cord being attached to our tummy from the placenta of our mother.
but Adam and Eve did not have any parents, and so were born differently from the help of Allah(swt).
does that mean they do not have a belly button?

Allah SWT mentions in the Quran about the previous nations and their punishments, and that we can travel the land and find these punishments, like how the people of Lut AS were punished through the evidence of Dead Sea. Can you give me more examples like for ad and Thamud or other nations.

Good morning, please can somebody assist me in identifying this person. I believe he is a saint from Pakistan. https://ibb.co/Y2BN6f7

As salamu aleykum,

A Salafi (Wahhabi) claimed on a website that the Hanafis have no isnads in their fiqh books to Imam Abu Hanifa. He claimed that the Hanafi Fiqh books are written 4 or 5 centuries after the deaths of Imam Abu Hanifa and his 2 students Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad.

IS this true? If not, can you give me a list of Fiqh books that are written right after the deaths of Imam Abu Hanifa(death 150 AH/767) and Abu Yusuf(death 183AH/798) And Imam Muhammad (death 189AH/805)?

Let say a list of Fiqh books that are written between 189 AH (805) and 500 AH (1117)

Please mention the date of each book.

Can you please confirm the MEANINGS of the names of the 25 Prophets mentioned in the Quran, as my sister wants to name her baby, if it is a boy, after a Prophet. All the books about babies names merely state that Musa, Dawud, Zakariyyal etc are 'name of a Prophet', which doesn't help.

Assalaamu alaykum mufti saab

InshaAllah this reaches you in high imaan and good health

Dear scholar, Assalam alaikum!
I've read this on some website and would like to know whether it's true or not.
Is it true that Muhammad(pbuh) had a poet, ASMA BINT MARWAN, killed after she criticized him?

salaam

who was yazid and what should our opinion be of him. was he responsible for the death of hazrat hussain (ra) or it is all shia lies

The Holy Prophet(PBUH) wanted to intercept the caravan of
Abu Sufiyan that ultimately lead to battle of Badr.
Was it legal in islam at that time to take the belongings of a caravan or the Prophet knew that he is going for Badr and not for Abu Sufyan.
Pl explain.

Assalam Alekum Respected Scholors,
