?The Regulation of Purity (?Ah?Ra) and Impurity Al-Mahdi Institute?s 8th Annual VIRTUAL Contemporary Fiqh? Issues workshop ?The Regulat ion of Purit y (?ah?ra) and Im purit y (Naj?sa) in Islam : Pract ical, Socio-Et hical and Theological Im plicat ions? 2nd - 3rd July 2020 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION The practical importance of regulations pertaining to purity (?ah?ra) and impurity (naj?sa) in Islam are testified to, not only by the typical treatment of purity as the opening chapter within works of juristic rulings, but also by their immense relevance to the daily lives of Muslims. Jurisprudential discussion of 1. INTRODUCTION impurities (naj?sa) - be they regarding essentially impure substances (najis al-?ayn) or the different states of impurity - likewise are far from being merely theoretical. Such rulings inform the nature of Muslim communal life, social interactions with non-Muslims and are relevant to the financial regulation of permissible and impermissible trade and profit. 2. SPEAKERS BIOS & ABSTRACTS Many of these rulings are female-specific or female-centred, yet analysis of the gendered nature of these rulings, and their implications, is seriously underdeveloped. Furthermore, questioning the nature of regulations on im/purity ? such as whether they are purely devotional (mawlaw?) or simply instrumental (irsh?d?) ? leads to further questioning the role of empirical knowledge and reason in understanding, and seeking to live in accordance with, divine intent. The workshop aims to directly engage with questions related to the regulation of im/purity within Islam such as; - Historical studies regarding rulings of im/purity, their textual origins, social contexts and processes of codification into Islamic jurisprudence. - Critical analysis of textual and theological foundations used to derive, or assumed as a result of, rulings about im/purity. - (Re)assessing potential developments in jurisprudential and theological approaches, affecting the treatment of im/purity discourses and their practical ramifications. - Empirical research analysing the practical and social benefits and challenges of conforming with prevalent jurisprudential standpoints on im/purity, including female-specific experiences. The inclusive model of the workshop is pleased to host presenters from diverse traditional seminary and academic backgrounds, alongside relevant practitioners, from a range of disciplines. As has become an effective format in our previous annual workshops, fiqh? debates will be positioned alongside contributions from broader theological, historical and anthropological approaches - thereby enriching a multidisciplinary understanding of contemporary outlooks dealing with the regulation of purity in Islam.

Impurity/uncleanness is either hermeneutical consequences. First, it fosters ignorance of physical or spiritual. Some jurists have listed the the symbolic meanings of religious texts in which these non-Muslim (k?fir) as being physically najis, along with a concepts are used; i.e., their indirect references to number of animals and things like dog, pig, blood, stool, mystical, moral and epistemic purity/impurity which are urine etc. Other jurists, however, consider not their body Seyed Fatemi spent thirteen years much more important than their legal meaning. And, Dr Ali Fanaei completed 17 years as unclean but rather their ideology as impure, while the studying to the highest level in second, this approach leads to misinterpretation of the of seminary studies in the Hawza rest of the items in the list are physically unclean.

  • Inquiry Into the Status of the Human Right to Freedom of Religion Or Belief
    Inquiry into the status of the Human Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief Submission: Inquiry into the status of the human right to freedom of religion or belief This purpose of this submission is to raise the committee’s awareness that Islam: - militates against “the enjoyment of freedom of religion or belief” - incites to “violations or abuses” of religious freedom - is antithetical and inimical to the “protection and promotion of freedom of religion or belief” Any inquiry into “the human right to freedom of religion or belief” which avoids examining arguably the largest global threat to those freedoms would be abdicating its responsibility to fully inform its stakeholders. Whether it is the nine Islamic countries in the top ten of the World Watch List of Christian Persecution(1), crucifix-wearing “Christians in Sydney fac(ing) growing persecution at the hands of Muslim gangs”(2) or the summary execution of those who blaspheme or apostatise(3), Islam, in practice and in doctrine, militates against “the human right to freedom of religion or belief”. The purpose of this submission is not to illustrate “the nature and extent of (Islamic) violations and abuses of this right” [which are well-documented elsewhere(4)] but to draw the committee’s attention to the Islamic doctrinal “causes of those violations or abuses”. An informed understanding of Islam is crucial to effectively addressing potential future conflicts between Islamic teachings which impact negatively on “freedom of religion or belief” and those Western freedoms we had almost come to take for granted, until Islam came along to remind us that they must be ever fought for.

    The Role Of The Women In Fighting The Enemies [Please note: Images may have been removed from this document.

To proceed: My honoured sister, Indeed for you is an important and great role; and you must rise and fulfill your obligatory role in Islam 's confrontation of the new Crusade being waged by all the countries of the world against Islam and the Muslims. I will address you in these papers, and I will prolong this address due only to the importance of the topic; [a topic] that is in need of double these papers. So listen, may Allah protect and preserve you. The Muslim Ummah today is suffering from types of disgrace and humiliation that cannot be enumerated; [disgrace and humiliation] that it was not familiar with in its previous eras, and were never as widespread as they are today. And this disgrace and humiliation is not a result of the smallness of the Islamic Ummah or its poverty - it is counted as the largest Ummah today, just as it is the only Ummah that possesses the riches and elements that its enemies do not possess. And the question that presents itself is: what is the reason for this disgrace and humiliation that the Ummah suffers from today, when it is not in need of money or men? We say that

  • Why Forbidden Alcohol in the Islam? It Is a Well Known Fact That Muslims Don’T Drink Alcohol
    Why forbidden alcohol in the Islam? It is a well known fact that Muslims don’t drink alcohol. It is haraam, forbidden. They don’t eat foods with ethanol, they don’t wear perfumes containing alcoholic ingredients and they stay away from all forms of intoxicating substances . For most Muslims, alcohol is "haraam," or forbidden. Muslims abstain from alcohol because the Prophet Muhammad , to whom Muslims believe the word of God was revealed in the Qur'an, spoke against it. Though Muhammad said alcohol may have some medicinal value, as recorded in the Qur'an, he believed its potential for sin was "far greater" than its benefits. Muhammad also forbade Muslims from consuming other intoxicants, including hashish, believing the substances would cloud judgment and lead to unlawful behavior in the same way as alcohol. Alcohol in Islam Arabic for “wine”, is alcohol derived from grapes. This is what is (ر رر) Linguistically, khamr prohibited by specific texts of the Quran (see 5:90). Therefore alcohol is categorically unlawful (haraam) and considered impure (najis). Consuming any amount is unlawful, even if it doesn’t create any drunken effects. The Prophet Muhammad of Islam said, “Intoxicants are from these two trees,” while pointing to grapevines and date-palms. Alcohol derived from dates or raisins is also prohibited, again regardless of the amount consumed, as explained on Islamic site Seekers Guidance. At first, a general warning was given to forbid Muslims from attending prayers while in a drunken state (Quran, 4:43). Then a later verse was revealed to Prophet Muhammad which said that while specifically alcohol had some medicinal benefits, the negative effects of it outweighed the good (Quran, 2:219).

Repeating the study of taharah and najis in Islamic Fiqh will make us find a rule and discussion that we have never known before. It is necessary to Clean or clean first to worship to the maximum To get rid of the Hadas, and unclean. Clean signals that we should always clean our souls from sin and all vile deeds. Clean is performed not only to achieve worship but also to maintain the cleanliness and health of the human body. We are required to know all the ins and outs of Clean and practice it correctly. There are still many Muslims who even do not understand Clean. The procedure of Clean has been mentioned in fiqh books in great detail. Always, with the method of content analysis and qualitative approach, the author tries to dig back into something that is rarely touched by fiqh books in general. In the reading of Pustaka, the author obtains the status of animal feces that are halal eaten by the meat; it turns out that the wastes are not unclean according to various sects such as Malikyah and Hanabilah. So far, many people think that the feces of chickens, goats, cows, and other livestock ate are unclean and can cancel Clean.

  • How to Perform Wudhu and Tayammum
    “O Believers! When you prepare for prayers, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and your feet to the ankles … and [if you] do not find water then betake yourselves to clean earth and wipe your faces and your hands with it.” (Qur'an: Sura 5, Verse 6) How to Perform Wudhu and Tayammum Prior to performing the daily prayers, and as a recommended or obligatory prerequisite to other acts of worship, Muslims must purify themselves – this is usually done with water. The minor form of this purification with water is called Wudhu, while the major form is called Ghusl. If water is not available, the purification can be performed with clean earth or soil, and is called Tayammum. When to Perform Wudhu Every Muslim must be in a state of spiritual purification before performing the daily obligatory prayers. The same state of purification must also be achieved before numerous other acts of worship, such as optional prayers, touching the script of the Qur`an and the rites of the pilgrimage (hajj) can be performed. In most cases, it is sufficient to perform Wudhu in order to achieve this purification. However, at other times, a Ghusl must be performed. Please note that Ghusl is not covered in this Fact Sheet. How to Perform Wudhu Niyya : Make your intention as, "I am performing Wudhu for the pleasure of Allah, and to seek closeness to Him”. Washing the face : First, remove anything on the face (and hands) that may prevent water from reaching the skin before beginning Wudhu (physical items such as a watch, ring, etc… or even things such as paint or anything which would act as a barrier over the skin).
