 Question-Can I cut the fringe of my hair , since it exceeds my eyebrows? May Allah Reward you with goodness
Answer- In fact, Muslim women can cut their  hair giving the court they like, especially when due to its length , it makes it hard to wasj and comb It is not permissible to shave the head, unless it is sick and is not allowed to use tracks that imitate the fashions imposed by disbelieving women of questionable decency.


SOURCE: Shaikh Ibn Baaz (Rahimahu Allah) in Islamic jurisprudence responses for women.






Question- What is the ruling of plucking the hair of the eyebrows and the hair in between if it is thick ? Is it permmissible to remove the hair of the moustache and the face , and does this kind of hair take the   same ruling as the hair of the eyebrows ? What is the ruling on what religiously committed women should do to please their husbands and society?
Answer- It is not permissible to pluck eyebrows , because this is Nams ( removing hair from the face/ eyebrows) . The Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) cursed whoever does it, because this implies the changing of Allah's Creation , as this is driven by Satan . If a woman's husband order her to do that, she should not obey him , because this is a sin, and there is not obedience to anyone in disobedience to the Creator. Obedience is only in what is good as per the Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) Hadith. Therefore, the hair of the face is not to be removed  unless it deforms the face , such as a moustache or a beard grows on a woman's  face. In this case there is nothing wrong to pluck out this hair .
May Allah grant us sucess, May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammed , his Family and his Companions.

Islamic Cartoon movies

Shaikh Saleh al Fawzan  (Hafidhahu Allah) was asked:
What is the ruling of nurturing children upon cartoons of which the goal is to benefit them and to teach them good manners ?
 The shaikh answer: Allah made pictures haraam and it is haraam to acquire them so how can we nurture our children upon them? How can we nurture them upon something that is haraam, upon pictures that are haraam and drawings that move and speak and are similar to humab beings?. This is an evil picture and it is unlawful to nurture children upon it.
This is what the kuffar want . They want us to oppose what the Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) prohibited us from. And the Messenger (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) prohibited us from pictures and using them and acquire them. And those who spread it (cartoons) between the youth and the Muslims, claiming that is for nurturing ( the children) then this is inmoral nurturing And the correct nurturing is to teach them what will benefit them in their religion and worldly affairs.

When the child is ready for the Deen..?

Question- When should I start teaching my children the religion?

Answer- Teaching the childrens starts when they reach teh age of distinction ( and separation) ; so you begin the teaching of the Islamic unbringing and cultivation.
According to his (Salla Allahuy Alayhi wa sallam) statement:

"Command your children to perform salaat when they reach the age of seven , and punish them (if they don't perform it) when they reach the age of ten , and separate them in the sleeping places " [1]

So when the child attains the age of distinction (separation) thus then, it is an order on the parent to teach them and to cultivate them upon good ; by teaching them the Quran and what is easy from the hadeeth.
And to teach them the rulings of the shariah; which are appropriate ( and are effective) for the age of this child. Like teaching them how to perform wudhoo (ablution) and how to perform salaat , and to teach them the adhkaar (remembrances) when wanting to sleep , and the adhkaar of when waking up , and adhkaar of during eating and drinking. Because when they reach the age of distinction , they start to know and realize what they are being taught , and what are the obligations of them to perform, and what are the things that are prohibited.
Al also ( at this age) they are to be forbidden  from things which are not appropriate to do , and to make it clear to them that these things are not permissible for them to do. Like telling lies, and back biting and like this.
So he ( the parent) do this,  until he cultivates them upon goodness and to upbring them on avoiding evil, from this young age.

And this is a very important matter , in which some of the people have forgotten (and overlooked its importance) concerning their children.
Verily most of the people are not keen and enthusiastic in the issues of commanding their children , nor do they show and present to them the sound Islaamic mannerism.
And they leave them and neglected them. They don't command them to perform salat , nor do they upbring and show them the righteous actions.
And rather they leave them in this state of ignorance and this state of doing acts which are not good ; and (they leave them) to mingle with the evil people , and to wander and roam the streets ; and they overlook and disregard teaching them.

And other matters like these, from the matters which are negatively effecting most of the Muslim youths , because of the negligence of their fathers.

And they , (the parents) are accountable for them ; because Allaah has put on them the accountability regarding their children.
He (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"Command your children to perform salaat when they reach the age of seven , and punish them (if they don't perform it) when they reach the age of ten , and separate them in the sleeping places " [1]

So this is a command and a responsibility on the fathers.

So the one who does not command his children with salaat ; he becomes a person who has opposed the Prophet (Sala Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) , and hence he has fallen into a sin.
And also he has left off doing something that is obligatory upon him ,something which the Prophet ( salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) has made obligatory.

And he ( Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) has also said:

 "Each one of you is a shepherd , and all of you are responsible for their own flock (people) " [2]

And some fathers, and it is sad and sorrowful, have become carried away and too busy in the affairs of the worldy life.
And they pay no attention to their children , nor do they keep away any time specifically for their children.
Rather all of their time is all for the affairs of the world.

And this is a great danger which is widespread in the muslim lands. And it has disadvantaged and worsened the upbringing of their children.

Thus they have become , people who are neither good in the religion nor in the worldy life .

And there is no might nor change except by Allaah , The most High , The Most Supreme.

So the ruler is a shepherd and he is responsible, the man is the shepherd of his family and he is responsible, the woman is the shepherd of her home and she is responsible, and the slave is the shepherd of his owner?s wealth and he is responsible. Each one of you is a shepherd, and each one of you is responsible (for his flock)."

Graduate and ignorant

Question- If a person wants to teach to people Islam , would be enought for him to have college degree or must have a tazqiyah from a scholar as well?

Answer-You should be aware, Everyone who graduates with a title doe snot become a person of knowledge. What is required is to have the knowledge and comprehension of the religion of Allah. The titles do not prove that a person has knowledge. Sometimes the most ignorant among the people own titles. And sometimes there are people without titles which are the moxt knowledgeable , among the people.

Did Shaikh Ibn baz or Shaikh Mohammed Ibn Ibrahim, Shaikh Ibn Humayd  had titles? Despite not having titles were among the most knowledgeable people in his time.The topic is based on the fact that the person has the knowledge and the understanding of Islam not on the degree or tazqiyah.

Te reality of the relation of a person can be know when an issue , problem or calamity came to him. When these situations come ,it is clear who has knowledge, a person who owns and has the knowledge or an ignorant person.

Fatawa of Shaikh al Fawzan (Rahimahu Allah) about the Ruling on listening to Al Jazeera channel:

"..And news, what news?...Many are lying and quackery.
In what would benefit from it. Will only destroy his house.
News..Many of them lies.
Irritation and evil most destroy his house, and spoil his family  for this false claim.
Al Jazeera channel has a lot of evil and haressment.
They bring to some people doubtful in matters of religion and jurisprudence. turning the halal haram and vice versa in their  fatawas.
It is very dangerous to watch and listen to the channel of Al Jazeera, there is evil and every one attributed the evil to it and no one praises it.

The early married and knowledge

Is getting married at an early age diverts from gaining knowledge ?


As for saying that getting married at an early age diverts from gaining knowledge and from studying , this is not the case. Rather , the opposite of this is correct because tranquility , peace of mind, and pleasure never cease to be obtained through marriage. These things help the student to reach his goal because , he has peace of mind and his thoughts are not cluttered due to discomfort and this helps him study.


Now in the other hand abstaining from marriage in reality blocks whatever knowledge he wants to attain, because it is not possible to acquire knowledge in a state of confusion and anxiety. However ,if he gets married, his mind is at rest and his soul is at ease. He gets a house to take as a shelter and a wife who relaxes and helps him. These things help him to attain knowledge.


If Allah makes it easy for the student to pursue knowledge. Matrimony does not block the path to knowledge as some believe. for that reason, having children is an enormous blessing in this life and in the next.

Nasheeha for the Muslimah

The responsability of the Muslim woman:

So today Muslim women must fear Allah regarding themselves and their societies. Likewise the modern woman, and first of all , the Muslim women must focus on raising their children at home , as they will be questioned about the children who are under heir care and custody.
They have to raise their daughters to have good manners. Fair and proper manners , to cover and be modest. The Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: " Each of you is a shepard, and each of you are responsible for his flock. A woman is a shepard of her husband's house and she is responsible for looking after it".
So a woman should raise her children , so straight, as all children living  covered under their custody , she is responsible for them.
