Indeed, You -and You alone- are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing (You hear our prayers and know our intentions and actions).” (Sūrah-al-Baqarah: 127) The humble writer, editor and others who helped in the compilation of this work request the respected reader to remember them, their parents, teachers and loved ones in their heartfelt du’ā’s. Every effort has been made to ensure the rulings mentioned are free from any inaccuracies and error. An attempt was made to only use reliable and authentic sources. Nevertheless, man being imperfect by nature will inevitably slip up and make mistakes. َو ُخلِ َق ٱلۡ ِإن ََٰس ُن َض ِعي ف ا )النسٓاء ۲۸( “Man has been created weak.” (An-Nisā: 28) Thus the reader is kindly requested that if any errors are found, be they grammatical, or those related to the rulings themselves, we will be very grateful if the respected reader notifies of them. ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ فَِإ ْن يَ ُك ْن َصَوااًب فَم َن ا هَّلل، َوإ ْن يَ ُك ْن َخط َأا فَمِِّن َوم َن ال هشيْطَان “If I make a mistake, it is my own doing and the doing of Shaytān and if I happen to be correct, it is through the grace of Allāh” 3 BAḤR-UL-MIDĀD Publications The Fiqh Manual َ قُل ل ۡو كَا َن ٱلۡ َب ۡحر ِم َدا دا لِ كَلِ ََٰم ِت رب ِ ي لَ َن ِف َد ٱلۡ َب ۡحر ُ َ ُ َ قَ ۡب َل أن تَن َف َد كَلِ ََٰم ُت َرب ِ ي َولَ ۡو ِج ۡئ َنا بِ ِمثۡلِ ِهۦ َم َد دا Say, (O Prophet, to one and all): “If the sea were as ink for the words of my Lord, most surely, the sea would be depleted before the words of my Lord were depleted even if We were to bring the like of it in replenishment.” (Surah al-Kahf: 109) 4 BAḤR-UL-MIDĀD Publications The Fiqh Manual Preface Assalāmu ʿAlaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh, Alḥamdullillāh, through the infinite grace and mercy of the Almighty, the first part of “The Fiqh Manual” series published by Baḥr-ul-Midād Publications is in your hands. The age we live in is an age of incredible material progress due to which the concept of the spiritual has gradually disappeared and vanished. This preponderance of godlessness which permeates every aspect of our lives had led to even Muslims falling prey to scepticism and doubt, inevitably leading to the erosion of Islamic values and principles. At Baḥr-ul-Midād Publications, our goal is to preserve and maintain Islāmic morals and values by inculcating the true spirit of Islām in an individual’s life. We aim to do this through providing authentic Islāmic literature which we hope will offer an insight and also furnish the reader with a broad understanding of the sharīʿah. We also wish to mould and shape in the individuals mind spiritual values. We strive for excellence and perfection, but our main objective is to provide the average Muslim with correct knowledge to fulfil his religious necessities. The work is rendered in a manner which is simple but captivating and professional. It is a duty and responsibility of those that run makātib, to give their students the best education possible. It is their duty to oversee the nurturing and upbringing of their students and equip them with the knowledge and skills so that they true representatives of Islam. However, it is sad to see that when students reach the age of understanding, they leave the madrasāh curriculum either by leaving madrasāh altogether or enrol in a ḥifẓ class which usually does not cater for their respective ʿilmī needs. Consequently, these students step into the world, ill-equipped and oblivious to the necessary knowledge needed to practice the basic requirements of dīn and unless they are not inspired to join the ʿālimiyyah course or participate in the gatherings of the ʿUlamā with regularity, they remain uneducated. This predicament was the primary driving force for the initiation of adult classes and further education classes in the makātib systems, unfortunately these classes are attended by a small handful. 5 BAḤR-UL-MIDĀD Publications The Fiqh Manual It was keeping this in consideration, we decided to compile “The Fiqh Manual”. “The Fiqh Manual” was prepared and designed in a manner which targeted these three groups specifically; the ḥifẓ classes, further education classes and adult classes whilst also being beneficial to the layman. This attempt is neither too academic nor intricate, written to only include those rulings which are relevant to our present day. On a broader level, the intention of compiling this book was to assist and facilitate for the novice an understanding of rulings which pertain to many aspects of our daily lives. It is the wish and desire of Baḥr-ul-Midād Publications that “The Fiqh Manual” be introduced to all youth who have reached the age of maturity. The reader is encouraged to study this work – or any other work on fiqh and law for that matter – with a qualified ʿĀlim to ensure the content is understood correctly. Similarly, it is recommended that the reader reads a chapter from beginning to end in order to grasp the full outline of the rulings. The “Fiqh Manual” was revised a number of times, during which many additions were made; to both the text and accompanying footnotes. Readers will notice that the contents of the book are very detailed, majority of which are necessary but all of which are beneficial. It is appropriate to point out that majority of the contents of the book are something vital to fully comprehend the subject under discussion. Apart from this, there are a number of footnotes which do not directly compliment the actual text; but rather, have a subtle link. These footnotes, though not as vital as the actual text, of course, have their own subsidiary benefits. Thus, readers and teachers are advised to keep the aforementioned points in min, and accordingly work their way through the book. Teachers are advised to guage the ability of their students; thus, accordingly omitting sections which fall out of their academical abilities. In short, each person should study the book in accordance to their capability and understanding, while not becoming uninterested. We felt that acquaintance and insight with key Arabic terminology is vital in gaining a better understanding of Islam. Similarly, we would like to note that finding the exact equivalent in English for some of the specialised terminology of fiqh is difficult. Therefore, throughout this book we have used the Arabic terms along with the English translation in bracketed form including those which may be familiar to some English-speaking Muslims. On the whole, we felt this is more likely to ensure that the precise intended meaning of these terms is conveyed to all readers. Firstly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my teacher and mentor, Shaykh-ul-Ḥadīth Ḥaḍrat Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat Ḥafiẓahullah 6 BAḤR-UL-MIDĀD Publications The Fiqh Manual (founder of Islamic Da’wah Academy, Leicester), who inspired me to embark on this task. Seeing his great determination, commitment and widespread acceptance in the publication field, I was prompted and motivated to follow in his footsteps. Thus, with the name of Allah, I initiated this humble effort and whatever my limited mind conjured up, I penned down, which through the divine grace of Allah, with time formed a book of good size. Furthermore, it would be unfaithful and disingenuous for me to claim that this work was a result of my sole endeavour. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for those who helped me; physically, monetarily, spiritually and morally. My heartfelt thanks goes to Mawlana Maaeez Ilyas Patel (chief editor of Baḥr-ul-Midād Publications) for his editorial work, invaluable advice and feedback. He suggested key modifications, thereby ensuring that the material presented is exemplary in lucidity and clarity. He spent much time revising the present work, both the text and accompanying footnotes. Without his dedication, passion and meticulous attention, the publication would not be of this standard, something for which I am eternally indebted to him. There are many other people who I benefitted from, and some whose general support was vital for me to work on this compilation. It is our sincere hope that the contents of this book are clear in presentation and reliable in content. The reader is requested to pardon the compiler for any mistakes or shortcomings that might be in the work, despite the utmost effort taken to ensure accuracy, clarity and authenticity. If you do find this work to be beneficial, we request that you inform other respected ʿUlamā and associates.

  • A Sociological Study of Islamic Social Work in Contemporary Britain
    A Sociological Study of Islamic Social Work in Contemporary Britain Rosalind Warden School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University Submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Abstract Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in the topics of religion and spirituality in social work, including a small body of texts focusing on social work with Muslims. Alongside this, statistical evidence such as the 2001 Census has documented the socio- economic disadvantage experienced by many Muslims communities in Britain. However, there is a paucity of empirical research exploring grassroots initiatives developed by these communities to address welfare needs. There is also a dearth of research analysing the perspectives of Muslim service users. It is this lack of inquiry which this thesis addresses. This research centres on a case study of an Islamic organisation providing services including Islamic counselling, advocacy, khul divorces, mediation and chaplaincy. The study explores the construction of the organisation’s Islamic approach to social work, their everyday practices and areas of particular on-going negotiation. It draws on interviews with individuals working at the organisation, Muslim service users who have accessed the services and also external professionals who have referred individuals to the organisation. An exploration of the potential benefits for Muslim service users focuses on the counselling services provided to young women and asylum seekers in particular. The findings of the study highlight the opportunities and challenges experienced in the process of professionalising internal forms of support amongst British Muslim communities. This research has implications for three key areas of academic debate.

  • A Concept of Clean Toilet from the Islamic Perspective
    A CONCEPT OF CLEAN TOILET FROM THE ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE Asiah Abdul Rahim Department ofArchitecture Kulliyyah afArchitecture and Environmental Design INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA Abstract Islam is the official religion of Malaysia and more than half of the population is Muslim. As Muslims, the aspect of cleanliness is one of the most important and basic things that should be followed and practised in everyday life. Allah loves those cleanse themselves as quoted in the holy Qur'an. .. God loves those who turn to Him, and He loves those who cleanse themselves ". (Surah Al-Baqarah: 222) There is a growing awareness of public toilets among the public and authorities which can be seen in the events such as the "A Clean Toilet Campaign Seminar" held at national level end of July 2003 in lohor Bahru, Johor. Criticisms by visitors and locals stirred the level of consciousness among those responsible directly or indirectly for clean and effective public facilities.Nowadays, toilet is no longer perceived as merely a small and insignificant part of a building. It contributes and serves more than the initial purposes intended. Due to socio-economic changes, a toilet has been diversified and become multi-functions. It has surpassed its traditional role as a place to empty bowels or urinates to serve as comfortable vicinity with conveniences. In developed countries such as Japan and Korea, a public toilet has become a communal area where people could do face washing, showering, freshen up or taking care of their kids and so on. In designing a public toilet, some elements should be highlighted particularly on the understanding of users needs.

Specifically, the work explores “fatwas” and “other” similar documents as well as “guidance” documents (referred to as FOGs) that were disseminated in March–April 2020 on the internet and social media platforms for British Muslim consumption. We confine our materials to FOGs produced only in English. Our study takes its cue from the notion that the existence of a variety of documents created a sense of foggy ambiguity for British Muslims in matters of religious practice. From a linguistic angle, the study seeks to identify (a) the underlying reasons behind the titling of the documents; and (b) the construction of discourses in the documents. Our corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis (CA-CDA) found noticeable patterns that hold symbolic capital in the fatwa register. We also found that producers of “other” documents imitate the fatwa register in an attempt to strengthen the symbolic capital of their documents.

  • The Quality of Life, Social Care and Family Relationships of Older Unmarried Saudi Women Living in Jeddah: a Qualitative Study
    The Quality of Life, Social Care and Family Relationships of Older Unmarried Saudi Women Living in Jeddah: A Qualitative Study Seham Hassan Salamah Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Surrey September 2017 82,201 - word count Abstract __________________________________________________________________ Changes in the Saudi family structure are having profound effects on the current cohort of older Saudi women. This is reflected in living arrangements whereby family patterns have been transformed from extended to nuclear ones. Previous social research has not examined the current situation of older Saudi women, with little known about their Quality of Life (QoL). This study explores the QoL of older unmarried Saudi women by analysing their family relationships, social lives and daily activities. It examines how family relationships, social integration, health and financial aspects are influenced by social policies and gender-related issues. The study is based on in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of 50 widowed, divorced and never-married women aged 60-75 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from a range of socio-economic classes; 25 lived alone and 25 lived in inter-generational households. Gender segregation was a decisive factor that adversely affected the QoL of interviewees. They were dependent on their family or maids socially, instrumentally, and some financially on the ‘Goodwill’ of their children or relatives. Older divorced women were particularly likely to experience financial and social problems. Lower class and many middle class older women who lived alone were dissatisfied and suffered from depression, isolation and loneliness, whereas higher class women living alone demonstrated greater autonomy, independence and life satisfaction.
