you thank you thank you oh you welcome
Edie I'm really excited to for having me
thank you for finding the time to be
with us family is good everything's good
everything is excellent alhamdulillah
alhamdulillah alhamdulillah I don't I
don't find a group of people who are
praising God more every time you ask a
Muslim he can have the worst day you
know he can have he just say
alhamdulillah what do we mean when we
say alhamdulillah uh basically we we
believe as Muslim that everything Allah
ordained for us is the best for us so
even if it looks sometimes you know it's
not the best things happened to me today
but I know that it's tomorrow will be
the best for me I know that Allah plan
for me and basically since I know the
nature of this God he is full of
goodness and and love and and mercy I'm
not expecting anything less than that
from him so I know for sure whatever I'm
going through today it's the best thing
for me it's something I love I'm
enjoying it if it's not something I'm
very comfortable uh with it I know Allah
prepared me preparing me for something
so beautiful coming soon in this amazing
amazing and alhamdulillah that you're
here with us and we didn't just want to
have anybody answer these question we
want somebody who's qualified now you're
the Vice President also of theb
Institute you're also uh there's a group
of Scholars who run the MJ online this
is the American jurist of yeah the ass
simply Muslim jurist to North America
yeah so you guys answer these types of
questions correct yeah I didn't hear
your questions yet but yes you get a lot
of them yes we got all question so we're
going to get straight into it and we
thought we picked some questions from
the bunch because I I feel that these
questions many people uh can relate to
them they might be in a similar
situation the sister who writes in she
starts off with peace be unto you asalam
alayum which is a greeting of all the
prophets isn't it of the angels too yes
and Allah greets people in Paradise with
this greet as well if we make it
inshallah to Paradise we get the
greeting of Peace abely alhamdulillah
may Allah gather us there I mean tell us
she says that she's a nurse and she's
finding it difficult to perform all the
prayers on time
she says she can usually perform the
morning prayer and the night prayer and
then she gets home and she'll like
combine the prayers that she missed all
right so she she wants to know that
she's been doing this repeatedly and she
wants to know is this correct and is
this okay because of her work situation
that's one part of the question the
other part of the question she's saying
is is it okay uh to do this my other
part is regarding her clothing she talks
about I am currently not wearing the
hijab I am currently reading the Quran
and I have found that the Creator
talking about Allah she says the Creator
does not state to dress Mo does state to
dress modest by covering the bosoms and
lengthening the garments but she says I
do not see anywhere where Allah the
almighty says to cover the hair she's
saying this and I like how she finishes
this this this we can take a point she
says if I am
mistaken please provide me with the
verse that states explicitly to cover
the head you know she's like humbling
say I could be wrong this is from what
what what she's saying and and seems
like she just wants to know she wants to
do the right thing so there's two parts
to the question the prayer and then the
the hijab talk to us sh uh first of all
I would like to say thank you sister for
writing for us and have this attitude of
humbleness basically you want to learn
as as you mentioned or you pointed that
she's maybe a mistake you know and this
the attitude of the Learners and we all
learning our our Dean uh as for the
first part of the question uh she
combined the prayer Allah saids in the
Quran was prescribed upon the Believers
in certain times so and the prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam jel
and Jael came to him and to teach him
when each Salah time start and finished
and he came twice to teach him that so
basically the Salat has a certain time
the the
the the night prayer the F prayer the
morning prayer uh and the Muslim should
keep his prayer or her prayer in these
specific times that the prophet s
wasallam told us but in certain
circumstances uh people might because of
the nature of their job they cannot pray
on time cannot pray it on time for
example the scholars talk about a doctor
or surgeon perform a surgery or she's a
nurse uh she is with the patient or a
policeman he's basically uh uh
involv in in investigation patrolling
the neighborhood uh person work on the
borders whatever nature of job it will
prevent that person from praying on time
it will be allowed for that person to
combine and together either in the time
of or the time of or and in the time of
or the time of Isa but not not to join
the five days the five prayers together
or four of them together no that's not
allowed that's not allowed alhamdulillah
we all have like lunch break you can
pray in your lunch break and any place
anywhere uh you can have all 10 minutes
break just doesn't take much you the
prayer if you just basically fulfill the
obligation or the pillar of the prayer
wouldn't take from you uh 3 4 minutes
you know and you're done and you go back
your work fresh full of energy full of
blessings from Allah subhana tala so
please try not to make this a
that you miss the prayer try to look at
talk to your supervisor to find a a way
that you can perform the Salah because
we all know first of most we are a
servant of Allah tala we always want him
to bless our work our effort our income
so in return we try always to do the
Salat on time the Salat is one thing we
should not ever mess with it yes Islam
make it easy on us in certain
circumstances you know I know maybe one
week you couldn't do it maybe another
another day but consistently you cannot
pray at all on time uh I would really uh
yeah advise you not to take this as a
habit and try to pray on time insh as
for the second questions about covering
the the hair actually the the verse that
you just refer to where Allah subhana
ordered the woman to basically to cover
themselves to cover themselves
that basically she will take the Garment
and she will lower the Garment from the
top of her body and the top of your body
is your head so that's why the that
garment come from the uh top of your
body which is the head all the way down
some Scholars said it goes like this
some said it goes like this covering the
face you know it's a very famous uh
debate between the scholars but sister I
just want to tell you there is no one
ever ever in the history of Islam was
called a scholar said that the Muslim
does not need to work to cover her hair
there's no dispute about it there's no
dispute about it there's no one Allah
created so far called a scholar of Shar
would
say uh woman can uh show her hair unless
she's an old woman and this old woman
Allah said in the Quran give them
permission to show some of their
Beauties because their the ruling is not
that strict when it comes to them and
I'm talking about a woman like in her uh
70s or something like that like 70 and
above yeah something around that age
basically so a woman who's like 40 she
can't use this as an excuse no like in
in her 60s 70s you know which is
basically if she is in a status that
she's not interested in married anymore
uh people men will not be interested in
her anymore and she became old the Allah
said they are not necess to be so strict
about the hijab like the young the
younger ones the younger one but also he
said if they will keep their hijab
completely it's better for them it's
better for them we see people doing the
opposite like people say well wait till
I get 80 then put the hijab on you don't
want to do this that's that's wrong
that's wrong yes okay so this and I just
want to mention something about the
hijab something so beautiful every time
you wear your hijab and you leave your
home can you imagine every single second
pass by you you are worshiping Allah
you've been rewarded for it so the
account of your reward is going on until
you come back home even I don't get that
a as a man because we don't we don't get
that a as as as males this is only for
you for you girls so this is from
Allah's and py upon you aldah we living
in a country also that commodate uh uh
basically our religion and uh BAS
basically necessities of religions so
you can ask your supervisors the
hospital that you work in to uh allowed
you to wear hijab and a lot of sisters
they wear hijab while they go to their
work may Allah give you I mean I'm let's
take a break and we'll be right back
with more in this Q&A session with Dr
Shay W right back I amid stand
Al I am stand alone Li I am not afraid
stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone if Li by
I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Li by I am not afraid to stand
alone back here on the dean show with Dr
shik wed basoni who is the vice
president of elm Institute also
you are on the committee of Scholars
from
amja the it stands for assembly assembly
of Muslim jurist in America yes so
people can go there they have some
questions that we don't answer today but
just to kind of add to this can you tell
us now uh you mentioned something great
about the woman just getting so much
reward from wearing this hijab and also
another thing now that when a person
because we go to qualified individuals
in medicine to see doctors when a person
like reads the Quran I mean there's
another part to it the the the Hadith
and do we take because I see a lot of
people they'll read it and they'll say
well it doesn't say in there you know uh
to my understanding do we have to go to
qualify individuals like this uh great
woman did she came to you know the
experts to learn rather than taking it
upon themselves and say Hey you know I
read it doesn't make tell me that
absolutely you know uh when you want to
learn anything you go to the specialist
you know I cannot just give
my opinion about uh medical issues or
physics or I have to go to the
specialist same thing with the religion
you go to The Specialist and and they
will explain to you and also this
religion is not only driven from the
Quran only it's from the Quran it's from
the the tradition of the Prophet the
Sunnah of the Prophet wasallam what the
scholars agreed upon the consensus and
so forth now when you say the scholars
so this no one can say like well I'm
from the Shafi humbly school of thought
we don't do this this is all these great
imams on a consensus that this uh
beautiful modest way of dressing the
hijab this obligatory every single
Muslim Scholars agreed that woman must
cover her hair okay so this is a serious
issue too yes it is okay and it's and
it's beautiful like you said you got to
flip it and see the wonderful rewards
that you're getting I love the way you
explain that uh and on the prayer I
heard one one one scholar mention that
if all the Muslims were to get up for
fud the situations of the um would
change absolutely because that's one
prayer the prophet Muhammad sallam said
it's the heaviest prayer for the
Hypocrites because it's you know you
resist your the temptation of staying in
this warm bed and you leave it and you
go pray in the M this is something
wonderful you know and make you fresh
you start your day fresh and basically
the prophet said when you miss fet
prayer you woke up cand lazy no energy
and and missing the Salah it's terrible
way to start your your day but beautiful
way to start your day by praying going
to the prayer and Allah
said the the recitation of the prayer of
f is witnessed by Allah himself and the
angels yeah so could we attribute a lot
of the problems we're having as a
community as a umah is our neglecting
these five daily prayers absolutely
absolutely that's one sign one clear
sign of the weakness of this um yeah so
may Allah make us steadfast those
prayers a mean a mean moving on to
question number two the person wants to
no he says do I have to quit smoking our
local Imam smokes two packs a day okay
he says and some people say it's only
maku dislike and others say is Haram so
what's the correct answer I trust you
guys have clear this up for me what do
you got to say she okay uh first of all
smoking I have no doubt in my heart that
this is Haram and forbidden but his
smoked two packs a day I don't know
about your imams but you know what our
IM
Isam I just ask you do you think ofam
today alive would would he be smoking
would he be smoking cigarettes I mean or
cigar would you think that of the
Prophet when you think ofak and Omar and
the companion would you think that way
of them everybody knows this is
impossible that's not never I can
imagine that I just want to tell you
something that uh those there is maybe
some individual in the old days Scholars
when the smoking just started it they
said it's dislike it's not uh Haram
because they don't have the knowledge
that we have today how tobacco is very
it's a deadly thing you know there is
more than uh uh 1, 15 uh basically 100
uh 15,000 people every globally die
because of tobacco daily W
15,000 people daily die uh globally
because of tobacco this is a killer
machine a killing machine so to tell me
that this is halal Islam will never
allow what is harmful what is harmful
and the prophet
said you cannot harm yourself and you
cannot harm others you harming others by
the Smoke by smoking even now Western
society and everywhere you go they
realize the dangers of smoking and they
putting so much restriction on it
because it's very harmful thing U the
same thing Allah
said don't do what can lead to your
death or lead to the destrction it's a
waste of time it's a waste of money it's
a waste of resources you wasting your
your health and it prevent you
from and and to prove that have you ever
seen Eddie somebody smoking he's smoking
he smoking he said Subhan Allah
alhamdulillah Allah you won't see that
it doesn't they don't go together uhhuh
you know you smoke when you go to the
bathroom but you don't smoke when you
make vick you don't smoke in in the pure
places like the places of worship
because it is evil things it's not it's
not something good Allah
said Allah made the the evil things
forbidden on them so this is something
where it's it's a very interesting point
like that the scholars of that time when
they didn't have all the scientific
information they came to this yes that's
why every single assembly of Scholars a
a majma which is a group of schol a
Committee of fatwas across the Muslim
world every single one today in modern
days their fatwa is very clear that
smoking is forbidden now and another uh
key Point here is Nike if you if you do
see like your Imam doing some Haram or
doing something that's a human being he
can make mistakes absolutely so we don't
follow them blindly absolutely this is
very important yes yeah absolutely you
you you mentioned you mentioned a story
once and and I love when you tell these
stories and it was about someone who who
was at the cabba and he asked the shik
something about wanting him or making
duah to help him quit but the moral was
that if you don't have the sincere
intention then going to help you can you
share this story with us absolutely he
he was saying once uh one of my friends
he was shooting in episodes like this
but in Mecca yeah uh so the cameraman is
very heavy smoker so basically he went
outside to smoke and he the she told him
my friend told him why don't quit
smoking he said pray for me she he said
okay come on he said I fac the cab it's
a big window and I will see the Caba it
was Ramadan last third of the night and
I started raising my hand and praising
Allah mentioning his names and
attributes and all these beautiful
things about Allah so and the guy
basically was so moved by how I praised
Allah uh then he said my friend said and
I start asking Allah to give this man
from all thing I can think of may Allah
bless your wealth your health the
children this worthy life the Hereafter
maybe 2 three minutes
off a prayer for good things to this man
and the guy was crying and everybody in
the room crying a mean a mean a mean
then he said in the end I said oh Allah
don't give him anything from what I ask
uh to die until he quit smoking got him
right there now the moment I said this
the guy was said a mean a mean when I
said this he stop like what you know why
he stopped he didn't he never say a mean
he didn't say why because deep in his
heart he was not ready to quit smoking
wow and sometimes you said oh pray for
me blah blah blah but you know what
you're not really ready to quit you're
not really ready to quit smoking and if
you're really ready to quit smoking you
will make that decision and you will
commit to it I have friend of mine who
come to my congregation in Houston one
day he told me sh pray for me I said
I'll pray for you but my prayer is not
enough you have to take the action
yourself Allah will help you when when
you start helping yourself Allah will
inspire you but he will not do in your
behalf things you have to do it you have
to earn it so you earn the reward of it
so what I want you to do this is the
advice I give it to my my friend
alhamdulillah after 15 years of smoking
he never smoked a cigarette for the last
seven or eight years now the advice was
I said every time you have the urge to
smoke start saying Subhan Allah
alhamdulillah make because they don't go
together you cannot be making di while
you're smoking they don't go together
and see how it's going to work for you
or not try that try that try that we'll
be right back with more here on the dean

to call people to Allah and to do the
work no speech is better no nothing is

[Music]
alone back here on the dean show with Dr
Shake w Bui answering some questions and
we're going to move on to question
number
three the individual is asking is
smoking pot you know marijuana
weed is this something that is is
prohibited in Islam since it's only a
natural plant it's a natural herb and
and he the individual talks about
because I don't see it prohibited in the
Quran in the Quran what do we got to say
about this sh uh actually
uh first of all let me uh make the the
uh this rule clear so we can all agree
on it the peration of things are not
only in the Quran it's in the Quran and
the Sunnah of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam and also what the
scholars agreed upon the consens of the
so don't just saying I read in the Quran
and I don't see it uh because first of
all it might be in the Quran and you
never come across it and it could be in
the Sunnah of the prophet
Al Quran usually give General rulings
and one of the general ruling in the
Quran very clear that you cannot cause
any harm to your body anything will harm
your body is not allowed anything is
considered as something bad evil people
considered something uh evil will not
they will not consume it it doesn't
matter it's natural or not there's a lot
of food and and animals they are natural
they are not manufactured and they still
not allowed to touch them not allowed to
eat them they NIS impure even
so uh saying that it's a natural so
that's why it's allow we allowed to
consume it that's not true that's not
true there's a lot of natural poison and
some of the fruits you're not allowed to
eat it it's Haram it's forbidden it's
it's harmful uh that's one two U as I
said the Quran telling us in generally
you're not allowed to consume anything
can cause harm to you or to others and
no doubt drugs no matter what uh uh
starting from marijuana going all the
way down in the last are harmful to your
body harmful to the society and they
cause nothing but uh animosity and uh
all associated with violence and and and
and drugs and and I think this is well
known today what drugs words looks like
um so no doubt that it is forbidden and
the Muslim Scholars today in modern days
forbade this and also the prophet
Muhammad
wasallam the prophet wasallam forbade
consuming or inhaling anything it will
basically it will drug you it will make
you feel uh basically so relaxed and uh
you know uh slow and put your mood down
anything like that it is forbidden and
the prophet stated that and the based on
this they said using drugs to die or
using this type of drugs will be
forbidden and Allah knows best what
about somebody like they have doctors
who prescribe in some states it's legal
where for their sickness they will allow
the doctors will allow you to smoke po
what does Islam have to say about this
if the doctor prescribed this it will be
exactly look at like any morphine or any
drugs that the doctor prescribe for as a
painkiller that will be permissible
because there is a need for it yes but
for you to now look at the Quran and say
well Allah prohibited ham not pot you
smoke some weed and go pray you know he
said don't come intoxicated he didn't
say don't come High you can't play with
this no no it's it's the same concept
the same concept con and and questions
why would you want to be high with the
drugs I can I tell you how to get high
get high by reading the Quran by
committing yourself to Allah subhana T
that's how you get that's how you get
high that's how you get high yeah get
high with the remembrance of the Creator
yes that's where you go high connected
to the yeah these drugs have side
effects you might feel high but then
you're going to be real low absolutely
absolutely this is amazing amazing and
where could people go now to if we
didn't because we're going to have to do
another Q&A session with you but for I'm
sure there's a lot of questions and you
are part of theja how can people reach
that place where they can go ahead and
have some more you can go and submit
your your questions in MJ online amja uh
online uh basically uh uh.com
and you will uh inshallah your your
questions will be answered sh thank you

Q&A section look out for another one

hear it don't disconnect with the
Creator always pray these prayers
they're there to have us connected that
can get us high get high by remembering
your creator not with drugs not with
things that have nasty side effects and
don't earn the pleasure of the one who
