| 1. Is it prescribed not to do the prostration of forgetfulness in Jumu'ah and Eid prayer? http://islamqa.info/en/ref/191730 Dear brother i came to know from my father that prostration of forgetfulness should not b done during friday salah and eid, how far is it true i was going on searching it on ur website but i couldnt find it please provide me if any evidence. Praise be to Allah. Firstly: We have previously discussed the ruling on Eid prayer in the answers to questions no. 48983 and 49014. In the answer to question no. 45456 we stated that it is prescribed to do the prostration of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw) in naafil prayers just as it is prescribed in obligatory prayers; it is exactly the same. This is the view of the majority of scholars. That is because the basic principle is that it is prescribed to do the prostration of forgetfulness in prayer when there is the reason for doing it, and the Lawgiver made no differentiation between obligatory and naafil prayers in that regard. Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The prostration of forgetfulness is prescribed in all prayers, both naafil and obligatory, because of the general meaning of the hadeeths. End quote from Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz, 30;13. There is no disagreement that Jumu'ah prayer is obligatory, so the requirement to compensate for mistakes by doing the prostration of forgetfulness in this prayer is more certain. With regard to Eid prayer, whether we say it is obligatory or naafil, it is like all other prayers; if a person makes a mistake he should compensate for it by doing the prostration of forgetfulness. We have not found any one among the scholars, either the imams of the four madhhabs or other leading fuqaha', who differentiate between the prayers and Jumu'ah and Eid prayer, with regard to the prostration of forgetfulness. However, the well-known view amongst the later Hanafis is that it is better not to do the prostration of forgetfulness in Jumu'ah and Eid prayer if a large number of people are present, lest that confuse the worshippers, although in principle they also do not differentiate in the ruling on prostration of forgetfulness between obligatory and naafil prayers; rather they thought it was better not to do it with a large congregation for the reasons mentioned. Burhaani ad-Deen al-Bukhaari al-Hanafi said in al-Muheet, 2/229: It says in al-Asl: Making mistakes (or forgetting) in the Eid prayer, Jumu'ah, obligatory and voluntary prayers is the same, because Jumu'ah and Eid prayers are the same as other prayers with regard to what may spoil them, and they are the same with regard to what is required as compensation, except that our shaykhs said: They should not do the prostration of forgetfulness in Jumu'ah and Eid prayers, lest that cause people to fall into confusion. End quote. Abu Bakr al-Haddaadi said in al-Jawharah an-Nayyirah, 1/95: Prostration of forgetfulness in Jumu'ah, Eid and obligatory prayers is all the same; what is meant is that one should do the prostration of forgetfulness in all prayers (if required). But some of the shaykhs said that the imam should not do the prostration of forgetfulness in Jumu'ah or Eid prayer lest he cause confusion to those who are far away from the imam. End quote. Ibn 'Aabideen said in al-Haashiyah, 2/157: The favoured view among the later scholars is that he should not do the prostration of forgetfulness in Jumu'ah and Eid prayer, lest the ignorant think that something has been added. This is what it says in as-Siraaj and elsewhere. But that does not mean that it is not permissible; rather it is better not to do it so that the people will not become confused. End quote. It is clear from the words of Ibn 'Aabideen and others that this opinion is only well-known among the later Hanafis. As for the imams of the madhhabs and the earlier scholars, this is not known from them; rather what is well known from them is the opposite, as is clear from the above. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ash-Shaybaani, the companion of Imam Abu Haneefah, the propagator of his madhhab and the faqeeh of Iraq, said that the prostration of forgetfulness should be done (if required) in the Eid prayer, Jumu ah and all other prayers. Abu Sulaymaan al-Jawzjaani said: I said – i.e., to Muhammad ibn al-Hasan – Do you think that the prostration of forgetfulness is the same in the Eid prayer, Jumu'ah, and in the obligatory and voluntary prayers? He said: Yes. Al-Mabsoot, 1/383 This is the correct view, which is in accordance with the opinion of the majority of scholars. What was quoted above from the later Hanafis is an opinion and juristic preference, but it is an opinion that is superseded. The correct view is what is stated above, that the prostration of forgetfulness is prescribed in all prayers, whether obligatory or naafil, if the reason for doing it is present. There is no differentiation between Eid prayer, Jumu'ah prayer, or any other prayer, whether obligatory or naafil. And Allah knows best. 2. Woman asking her husband to wear women's clothes for the purpose of sexual provocation! http://islamqa.info/en/ref/184217 I am a Muslim girl, praise be to Allah, and I am Turkish. I have been married for 16 years, but I am facing a problem in my marriage which is that I do not like to have sex with my husband and I am reluctant to have intercourse with him. We have intercourse every two months, and we have four children. This problem is because I do not like intimacy with men; I love women and I love women's bodies. But despite that I do not want to get divorced from my husband because he loves me very much and we have four children. But this matter is beyond my control. In order to overcome this problem my husband started to wear women's clothing for me before going to bed, and in fact this approach has been successful and I found myself attracted to him and we have started engaging in sexual intimacy more than once a week. But my husband does not wear these clothes outside the house; rather he only wears it at home. Praise be to Allah, we are now happy and we are living a normal life and enjoying life. But we do not know what is the ruling on my husband wearing women's clothes; is it halaal or haraam? Please advise me, may Allah reward you. Praise be to Allah. Before we discuss the Islamic ruling on what your husband is doing, it is essential to advise you to get treatment, because what you have mentioned about liking other women and being provoked by them is a psychological illness. You should not hesitate to seek treatment for it and there is nothing better than treating it by increasing your faith and fear of Allah, and striving to overcome your nafs, whilst constantly seeking refuge with Allah from the Shaytaan and his tricks, traps, plots and whispers. There is nothing wrong with going to a female psychologist who is trustworthy in terms of her religious commitment and knowledge, to help you find a remedy for your illness. With regard to what your husband is doing, it is undoubtedly haraam because it is imitating women. This is like the one who says: Treat me with that which was the cause of the disease. It is narrated in saheeh reports that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women, which includes imitating them in their dress. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5435 It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed men who wear women's clothing and women who wear men's clothing. Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4098; classed as saheeh by an-Nawawi in al-Majmoo', 4/469, and by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood This sin is not excused by the fact that this is done in privacy away from where people can see it, because just by wearing women's clothing he is incurring sin, even if he does that when he is alone. The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: What does the shaykh say about one who wears women's clothing in private? They replied: It is narrated in a saheeh report that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah curse women who imitate men and men who imitate women." According to another version, "May Allah curse effeminate men and masculinised women." A man's wearing women's clothing is included in this prohibition. So this action is forbidden even if it is done in privacy, because of the general meaning of the text that prohibits it. Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh, Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Ghadyaan, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 24/94, 95 What you have to do is hasten to seek treatment for the sickness that you are suffering. What you are asking of your husband is contrary to Islam and sound human nature, and it is not permissible for him to respond to your request. He has to stop wearing women's clothing.
