Orthodox Sunni Islam sees itself as a complete and total guide to all facets of life. As such, the [[Qur'an]], [[hadith]], and scholars place many restrictions on what the believers can and cannot do. Salafi scholars tend to take the most strict approach with an emphasis on hadiths, whereas modernist scholars at the other end of the spectrum, who consider hadiths and traditional jurisprudence unreliable, tend to base their opinions on principles and restrictions found in the Quran itself. | |||

Allah's Apostle was delayed there, and the time of the prayer was due. Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said to him, "Allah's Apostle has been delayed (there) and the time of prayer is due. So will you lead the people in prayer?" Abu Bakr said, "Yes, if you wish." Bilal pronounced the Iqama and Abu Bakr, went forward and said Takbir for the people. In the mean-time Allah's Apostle came crossing the rows (of the praying people) and stood in the (first) row and the people started clapping. Abu Bakr, would never glance side-ways in his prayer but when the people clapped much he looked back and (saw) Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle beckoned him to carry on the prayer. Abu Bakr raised his hands and thanked Allah, and retreated till he reached the (first) row. Allah's Apostle went forward and led the people in the prayer. When he completed the prayer he faced the people and said, '''"O people! Why did you start clapping when something unusual happened to you in the prayer? Clapping is only for women.''' So whoever amongst you comes across something in the prayer should say, 'Subhan-Allah' for there is none who will not turn round on hearing him saying Subhan-Allah. O Ab-u Bakr! What prevented you from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned you to do so?" Abu Bakr replied, "How dare the son of Abu Quhafa lead the prayer in the presence of Allah's Apostle ?"}} | ||

===Christmas Trees=== | |||
{{Quote||'''Q: I dont celebrate Christmas in any way but my 11 year old daughter loves the beauty of a christmas tree when decorated. Is it permissable for me to have one in my house throughout the year?''' | |||
A: Praise be to Allaah. | |||
The Christmas tree is one of the symbols of the Christian festival and celebration; this is why it is named for Christmas. It is said that it was first officially used as a symbol in this manner in the sixteenth century in Germany, in the Cathedral of Strasbourg in 1539 CE. | |||
'''It is not permissible to imitate the kuffaar in any of their acts of worship, rituals or symbols, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”''' Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4031; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 5/109 | |||
So it is not permissible to put up this tree in a Muslim house even if you do not celebrate Christmas, because '''putting up this tree comes under the heading of imitating others that is haraam, or venerating and showing respect to a religious symbol of the kuffaar.''' | |||
What the parents must do is protect their children and keep them away from what is haraam, and protect them from the Fire as Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning)” | |||
“O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allaah, but do that which they are commanded” | |||
[al-Tahreem 66:6] | |||
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The ruler of the people is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. A man is the shepherd of his household and is responsible for his flock. A woman is the shepherd of her husband’s house and children and is responsible for her flock. The slave is the shepherd of his master’s wealth and is responsible for it. Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock.” | |||
Al-Bukhaari, 7138; Muslim, 1829. | |||
Al-Bukhaari (7151) and Muslim (142) also narrated that Ma ‘qil ibn Yasaar al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “There is no person whom Allaah puts in charge of others, and when he dies he is insincere to his subjects, but Allaah will forbid Paradise to him.” | |||
You should explain to your daughter that '''it is haraam to imitate the disbelievers and that it is obligatory to differ from those who are doomed to Hell and to dislike what they venerate of clothing, symbols or rituals''', so as to develop respect for her own religion and adhere to it, practising the principle of loyalty and friendship as opposed to disavowal and enmity (al-wala’ wa’l-bara’) which is one of the cornerstones of Tawheed and one of the basic principles of faith. | |||
And Allah knows best.}} | |||

===Pork Gelatin=== | |||
{{Quote|{{cite web|url=http://www.english.shirazi.ir/topics/gelatin |title=Gelatin |publisher= |author=Ayatollah Sayed Sadiq al-Shirazi |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}|1. Question: I live in the US and last week I discovered that gelatine was made out of pork as well as beef by-products. It is used in several food items such as: medicines, yoghurt, candy, jelly, desserts, and cereal. What is your opinion on its lawfulness? I have heard from other Muslims here that it is allowed, but I am not sure of where they obtained their information.<br> | |||
Answer: According to the Fatwa of Ayatollah al-Udhma Imam Muhammad Shirazi, the gelatine is Haraam if it is made from Haraam animal by-products. Therefore the gelatine that is made from pork, or from animals that have not been slaughtered according to Islamic Shari'ah, is Haraam and therefore not allowed. [Needless to say, the gelatine that is made in Islamic countries, or if it has been made from animal by-products that have been slaughtered according to Islamic Shari'ah is Halaal and therefore allowed to be consumed by Muslims.]}} | |||
