The one who is tested with waswaas about tahaarah (state of purity) or anything else should pay no attention to it; he should remain certain that his tahaarah is still valid and should not change his mind concerning that because of mere doubt.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

شُكِيَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِدُ فِي الصَّلاةِ شَيْئًا أَيَقْطَعُ الصَّلاةَ قَالَ لا حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيحًا

A man complained to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he felt something whilst praying -- should he stop his prayer? He said: “No, not unless you hear a sound or notice a smell.”

[Narrated by al-Bukhari, 2056; Muslim, 361]

This Hadith confirms that:

-1- Certainty cannot be dispelled by doubt, and things remain as they are. So long as the tahaarah is certain, then it cannot be changed by mere doubt. So long as the state of purity remains valid then it is to be regarded as valid until it is proven that it has been invalidated.

-2- It offers ease and reassurance to the individual, as it keeps him far away from waswas and doubts, because by means of this hadeeth doubt is dispelled and what he is certain about remains, namely taharah.

[Ref. Fatawa Noor ‘ala ad-Darb: Al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) : (56/119)]

The believer should not pay any attention to this waswaas, because that encourages the Shaytan to mess about with him.

The Shaytan is keen to spoil the good deeds of the sons of Adam, prayer and other things.

So what is required is to beware of his tricks and whispers, and to put your trust in Allah and regard what may happen to one of whispers as being from the Shaytan, so that you will not pay any attention to them.

If something comes out for certain, without any doubt, then istinjaa (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) and wudu should be repeated.

But so long as there is any doubt, even if it is small, then you should not pay any attention to it so as to regard the taharah as still valid and combat the Shaytan.

[Ref. Majmoo‘ Fatawa Ibn Baz, Al-Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him): 10/123]

In other words, no attention should be paid to doubts no matter how strong they are, until one is certain of that.

Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith

*****Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith: n The form of feelings in the heart n The form of actions of the heart, n Spoken words on the tongue n And outward physical actions The form of feelings in the heart, such as hating Allaah or His signs, or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); this contradicts love and faith which support the actions of the heart. The form of spoken words, such as insulting Allaah, or it may be an outward action, such as prostrating to idols, or offering sacrifices to someone other than Allaah. Just as faith takes the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions, so too kufr may take the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions. [Ref. A’laam al-Sunnah al-Manshoorah, 177; Nawaaqid al-Eemaan al-Qawliyyah wa’l-‘Amaliyyah by Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal ‘Abd al-Lateef, 36-46; Dawaabit al-Takfeer by Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah al-Qarani, 183, 196].

NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE

***** NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE The motive in spreading gossip is either ill will towards the person of whom one speaks or to show love to the person to whom one speaks, or to indulge in unnecessary talk and falsehood. All of that is haraam. There is a great deal of evidence in the Quran and Sunnah (prophetic traditions) to show that gossip is haraam (impermissible), such as the verses in which Allah says: وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّاءٍ بِنَمِيمٍ “And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer. [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -” [Al-Qalam 68:10,11] وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ “Woe to every scorner and mocker” [Al-Humazah 104:1] It was narrated that Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: لا يدخل الجنة نمَّام “No gossipmonger will enter Paradise” [Agreed upon Hadith by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. And it was narrated from Ibn M...
