Lamenting the spread of Salafi’ism in South Africa, a Brother writes:

Assalamu Alaykum

Muhtaram Maulana,

There is a current spread of Salafism in SA. What really irks us as Hanafi Muslims is that the Salafis are given lots of show and platforms by the so-called 'our ulama'.

For example, there is an organization of women called MAIDS OF DEEN (they have a website too), they host programmes teaching Salaah to women. However, they teach the women how to read Salaah like men. They use the name of Ml Bham (Jamiat) in support of their activities.

THE 15^TH SHA’BAAN
BID’AH GATHERINGS AND LECTURES

Question:

What is the status of specially gathering in the Musaajid on the 15^th Night of Sha’baan for lectures? According to a Mufti it is Mustahab. He cites Imaam Bukhaari and some other lesser authorities in substantiation of his view of permissibility. However, I have heard from our Akaabir Deoband Ulama that it is not permissible. Please enlighten us on this issue.

ANSWER

The Mufti is way off the mark with his zig-zag, forked-tongue arguments. If gathering on this Night was indeed ‘mustahab’ according to Imaam Bukhaari (Rahmatullah alayh) and the other “lesser authorities”, it does not follow that we should make taqleed of them. There are numerous issues on which Imaam Bukhaari and the ‘lesser authorities’ differ with Imaam Abu Hanifah (Rahmatullah alayh) with the Hanafi Math-hab and our Deoband Akaabir. By ‘Akaabir’ in this context we are not referring to the present Ulama of Deoband. We refer to those who are all under the ground.

A FEMALE ON THE EXECUTIVE OF THE MJC OF CAPE TOWN

Question: What does the Shariah say about a body of sheikhs such as the MJC appointing a female to be on its executive? Is there scope in the Shariah for appointing a woman to an all-male council?

ANSWER

There is nothing surprising when a Carrion Gang consisting of fussaaq and fujjaar appoints a woman to its stupid executive. The MJC characters are real clowns – faasiq/faajir clowns.  These chaps gather firewood in the intense darkness of the night not knowing whether their hands fall on faeces or snakes. They are Juhala of the worst order.
