 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوا الله إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل واشدوا أن محمد العبد هو رسوله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد نبدأ موضوع where we spoke about the lost legacy of scholars of female scholars of Islam وإن شاء الله تعالى في today's episode I want to speak about the third point إن شاء الله تعالى that the women are the same with men or they are equal with men when it comes to the concept of في تحقيق المسائل العلمية بالمناظرة والمحورة women are the same and they are equal to men when it comes to في تحقيق المسائل when it comes to reaching the bottom of what is right from what is wrong in knowledge تحقيق المسائل meaning to reach the correct position and the correct view as much as men should do that women should also do the same and also women are the same when it comes to the means that has to be taken in order to do that for example المناظرة discussion and dialogue والمحورة having a dialogue and a discussion men and women can have that when it comes to في تحقيق المسائل العلمية some of us have this belief that a woman should be quiet and sit at the back and ask no questions and she shouldn't interject and she can't question and she can't have a dialogue and even have a debate we think that it goes against the concept of shyness and that is wrong women are entitled to they should engage, discuss and this is clear when you look at Islamic literature let me give you some examples it was narrated from أم الفضل بنت الحارث and the Hadith you can find in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim أن الناس انتمروا عندها a group of people debated and argued next to her around her يوم عرفة the day of Arafah في صيام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم whether the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was fasting the debate was about is the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم fasting or not فقال بعضهم some of them they said هو صائم when the Prophet is fasting وقال بعضهم and some of them they said ليس بصائم when the Prophet is not fasting فأرسلت إليه بقدح أم الفضل بنت الحارث she said I sent to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم a cup in it was milk وواقف على بعيره بعرفة and the Prophet was standing صلى الله عليه وسلم in Arafah with his riding beast he was there صلى الله عليه وسلم and the milk was given to him فشاريب هو the Prophet drank the milk عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم the Hadith is found in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim now upon the here there was a debate and a discussion happening around her men and women were discussing this issue is the Prophet fasting or not as we know as we're well aware that fasting on the day of Arafah is for the people who are not in Hajj okay the people who are not in Hajj they fast on the day of Arafah like in the people who are in Hajj they don't fast and so أم الفضل بنت الحارث she said it was a discussion everybody was asking is the Prophet fasting or is he not fasting so he didn't stop the companions discussing amongst themselves the women were discussing it the men were discussing it fairly and this shows that the women and men they are the same and the women share with the men في تحقيق المسائل العلمية بالمناظرة والمحاورة حافظ ابن حجر he explained that Hadith and he took a fig from it he said وَمِنْ فَوَائِدِ الْحَدِيْتِ the benefits in his Hadith is المناظرة في العلم بين الرجال والنساء he said this Hadith the benefits that are in it is المناظرة debates dialogue discussion في العلم in knowledge بين الرجال والنساء between men and women بل حجر said this so this cultural belief that we have been raised to believe that the men are the only ones who يعني discuss with the teacher the men are the only ones who can ask questions and the women have to sit at the back close their mouth can't ask questions they need to be silent this is a mistaken belief this is a mistaken belief women are encouraged to come forward when it comes to seeking knowledge they are encouraged to engage in what is being taught and they are also encouraged to put forward their contention when it comes to knowledge and this is definitely present in our religion and that's how our religion looks at it another example some of you still might not be convinced another example some of you might think that that was a يعني a rare situation that was a secluded situation one off I want to show you that's not really the case عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله تعالى عنه he said لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الواشمات والمستوشمات والمتنمصات والمتفلجات للحسن المغيرات لخلق الله حسن الله عليه وسلم وقرست عبد الله بن مسعود والمتنمصات والمتنمصات والمن who asked who asked to be done for them and the ones who do tattooing the ones who do the tattooing to do the tattooing they are cursed the ones who asked for the tattooing to be done are also cursed also who are cursed والمتنمصات الذين يقومون باستخدامهم باستخدامهم باستخدامهم فاستخدامهم باستخدامهم والمتفلجات للحصني الذين يقومون باستخدامهم وبعد then it was beauty to have space between your two front teeth والمتفلجات للحصني The reason why she is doing this is because of beauty المغيرات لخلق الله سبحانه وتعالى هذا حريث عبد الله يقول that the prophet said these people are cursed لعن means the mercy of Allah the mercy of Allah is distanced from these people and he mentioned three in his حريث the first ones are those who do tattooing and those who tattooing who ask for tattooing to be done for them the women who pluck the eyebrows are also cursed and the third ones are those who change the way Allah created them and the prophet gave an example here which is those who shape their teeth so this is just an example but if anything the person is changing the way Allah created them it falls under this because of that the إله is jamia the إله covers both anyways عبد الله من المسعود when he said that فبلغ ذلك مرأة من مني أسد يقول لها أم ويعقوب a woman by the name of um wa yaqub she had of what عبد الله من المسعود he said عبد الله من المسعود when he said that رضي الله يتعالى استيقما she had about it فجاءت إليه she came to him she had he said this she came forward فقالت she said بلغني it reached me أنك قلت كيت وقيت it has reached me that you said this this this this again the permissibility of a woman coming up and questioning a scholar questioning a teacher islamically responsible imagine and say who are you you're a woman how are you talking to me ولي ذلك ولي الأسف الشديد many people believe that they have this illness in their hearts and their minds get rid of that she can question you she can ask you questions so she said she said it reached me أنك قلت كيت وقيت you said this this قال he said ومالي لألعنو ملع على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم he said why should I not curse those in which the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم cursed and then he went step forward and then he said وهو في كتاب الله and it's also in the book of Allah now pay attention here he didn't just say the prophet cursed these people but she said why should I not curse these people the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did not curse them he didn't stop there he said وهو في كتاب الله it's in the book of Allah now she said قالت اني لأقرأوا ما بين اللوحيه فما وجدت to her this Quran I have read it covered to cover she was a person of knowledge she read the whole entire Quran and she is an Arab who knows the language understands the Quran so she said I have read the Quran يبدا مسعود I read the entire Quran and what you are saying I don't find it in the Quran it's not in the Quran debate, discussion, dialogue taking place right now عبد الله يبدا مسعود look how he responded he said to her قال إن كنت قرأتيه if you read the Quran فقد وجدته you found it if what you did is you looked at the Quran you read the Quran then you found it he then said أما قرأتي have you not recited the ayah وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهو whatever the prophet gives you take from him and whatever he prohibits from you stay away from قالت بلا she said of course I have read that verse قال he said فإن رسول الله the messenger قد نها عنه the prophet is the one that is prohibiting this it is the messenger who prohibited from the women doing this placing tattoo on themselves or asking for tattoo to be done on them or plucking the eyebrows or changing the way Allah created them it's the prophet who prohibited this and if the prophet prohibited it we were commanded in the Quran to follow the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام in what he prohibited us from it وما نهاكم عنه فانتهو so in other words he is mentioned in the Quran he said قالت she said فإني لا أظن أهلك يفعلون she said I don't think your family follow this command this prohibition الله أكبر she said قالت فإني لا أظن أهلك يفعلون I don't think your family follow this prohibition I think they do either tattooing or they do the the plucking of the eyebrows or they change the way Allah created them عبد الله يفعلون he said إنهبي فنوري go and look so that happened the woman went he said go into my family's house look at my wives and my daughters check them out see for yourself فدهبت she went another benefit that we take from here is عبد الله يفعلون knew his family he was connected with his family he was aware of what was taking place in his household he was connected to his daughters and he was connected with his wife and he was connected with his family and his household that's very important a father should be connected with his daughters and follow their situation and be there for them he should also be connected to his sons and be there for them and he should also be aware of the situation of his spouse his partner her situation is her Eman going down is her Eman up وها لومة جره when this goes on so she went فدهبت فنظرت she went and she looked she looked at the wife of عبد الله يفعلون the daughters of the famous root the women in the house she checked all of them فنظرت فلمتر من حاجتها شيئا she couldn't find anything قالت she said ما رأيتوا شيئا I never saw anything another thing that we benefit from the hadith is that some people they have these characteristics they bring a contention they bring an issue to the table but when the answer is given to them they don't have the audacity they don't have the courage they don't have the decency of saying you've convinced me or you were right I was wrong or I came to the conclusion of this issue they don't have that in them she could have just walked away and left but she never because she bought a point she said I don't think your family follow this prohibition so when she went and she checked when she came out she can't just leave she hasn't seen anything I didn't see anything that's the disrespect and the dignity the majority of us we lack قالت ما رأيتوا شيئا I haven't seen anything she said عبد الله بن مسعود said something very powerful once she informed him and she told him ما رأيتوا شيئا I haven't seen anything in your household I haven't seen anything to point at I haven't seen anything I could say here I couldn't see anything perfection perfect an upright good household you have none of them have fallen into this prohibition that's what she said عبد الله بن مسعود said something that should touch each and every one of our hearts something that should make us as people work towards and be like عبد الله بن مسعود and he said لو كانت كما تقولينة if these women that were in the household that I had my wife my children etc if they were going against the prohibition of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and they were disobedient to Allah's messenger by plucking their eyebrows or يعني changing the way Allah created them or placing on themselves tattoos and etc if that was present in the house my household ما جام عتنا there would be no roof that would bring us under there would be no roof in which we would all share يعني they would not stay in my presence and I wouldn't stay in their presence we would not stay together either you leave or I leave خلص and that's something very very powerful منكرن evil you should try to change it in your household a man his wife is out there يعني acting in this way by dressing in this particular way and being this way and he's happy and he's laughing about it she's changing the way Allah created placing tattoo on herself he laughs where she's changing the way her teeth is she's laughing and the opposite is true there's a sister her husband placing tattoo on himself he's changing the way Allah created him and she's laughing and she's happy about it how could you stay with somebody like that a sister shouldn't shouldn't stay with an individual who's corrupt like that try to change the person tell them rectify your situation your situation is very serious in its help you're يعني in a state of problem if the person is adamant and he isn't changing and he's still consistent upon this crime and this sin then follow the statement of Abdul Hamid which is رضي الله تعالى عنه لو كانت كما تقولين ما جامعتنا إذا كانت تقرأتك و تقرأتك و تقرأتك و تقرأتك لا نستطيع أن نتكلم لا نستطيع أن نتكلم my household يجب أن يكون يجب أن يكون حوالي where righteous people come together نبو أهل الخير والفضل they come together و لذلك the Prophet told us عليه الصلاة والسلام he said لا تصاحب إلا مؤمن do not be friend except a believer ولا يقول تعامك إلا التقي ولا يقول تعامك إلا التقي and do not let your food be eaten except by a pious person in other words be with a person who's righteous that should be the person you're always with that your wife is a person who's right who's your friend sorry your wife is your closest friend that you have make sure she's a righteous individual and don't let anyone eat your food or don't provide and fund someone who's committing crimes and going against Allah's commands and disobeying Allah تبارك وتعالى ليلة ونهارة day and night another thing that we benefit from the dialogue that took place between the companion عبدالعين المسعود and the female companion أمو يعقوب the benefit that we take from both of their discussion is that whenever Allah and his messenger was mentioned it was what held them both back the knowledge that they were both looking for is the Quran لسنة أمو يعقوب she didn't say well that's your opinion leave me alone you can see the way the debate was going and the discussion was going and the discussion was Allah and his messenger he told her the prophet said she went quiet and then he added on عبدالعين المسعود he said that it's also in the Quran she said but I read the Quran and it's not there I haven't seen it and then عبدالعين المسعود came back and he told her it's in the ayah وما آتاكم الرسول وما آتاكم عنو فداو and he told her how he got it from that verse and she said okay again very submissive to the text the Quran and the sunnah and the poet ابن القيب he said العلم قال الله قال رسوله قال الصحابة همقول العرفان بالعلم نصبك للخلاف سفاهة بين الرسول وبين رأي فلاني knowledge is Allah said and the messenger said that's what knowledge is العلم قال الله قال رسوله knowledge is Allah said and the messenger said and then قال الصحابة to the companions as they said همقول العرفان the sahabas are the people of knowledge the people of understanding the sahabas ما العلم نصبك للخلاف سفاهة بين الرسول وبين رأي فلاني knowledge isn't brothers this is a sad reality for many people they think knowledge is فلان said صحوح صحوح صحوح صحوح فلان said this they think that's pure knowledge no and in gathering the statements of an Imam Malik and the view that Malik held and Shafi'ah held and Ahmed held and Abu Hanifa held and knowing which view who held that view by itself is not knowledge and in gathering all the views out there and saying this is the view of Abu Hanifa and this is a view of an Imam Abu Ahmed and this is a view of an Imam Abu Ahmed رواية عنه and this is also قديم الشافعي and the call of the new is this view and an Imam Malik رحمه الله تعالى this is what he said this by itself is not knowledge it's not knowledge و لذلك الشيخ ناصر رحمه الله شيخ الالبان رحمه الله used to say and it's a very powerful statement of his he says the person who gathers all of the views of the scholars and mentions them and does not strengthen one view over the other is like a person who brings all of the chains of the حديث together and does not place a ruling on which one is authentic and which one isn't what benefit does it hold mentioning all of the different chains if you're not finally going to give the grading of the حديث to the people because the people just need to know what is صحيح from what is ضعيف that's the ultimate goal right these views what we need from it is what is right and what is wrong what is صحيح and what is not and the only thing that can determine what is right and what is wrong is not one view over another it's which of those views is in line with the evidence which of those views is supported by the evidence that's the one that can be said is right or else it's going to be تحكم it's going to be a mere claim to say this Imam said this and this Imam said this and this Imam is يعني he's right stronger than this Imam's view that's not because all these are of the same are of the same level رحمه الله we strengthen their views based on the text whose view is supported by the evidences and sometimes it's not about which one is in line with the evidence but it's which one is the closest to the evidence they're all not the evidence is not clear in this issue for them but we look at who's the closest to the evidence and we take that view if the مسألة is the مسألة اجتهادية I'm going to stop there إشاء الله و تعالى anything which I have said that was wrong he correct is from me الشيطان and Allah and His message are both free from it سبحانك الله و بحمده أشهد والله إلا الله
