Ask Ustaz Haniff #8: Is Drool Najis?

Query:

Is stale saliva najis (impure)? How do we differentiate between stale saliva and the drool that trickle from the mouth when we sleep?

I often drool when I sleep, but it seemed clear and colourless in appearance, with a slight smell. At times I wasn’t sure of its colour as it had dried up.

I am not sure whether it was stale saliva coming from the stomach, or from the mouth.

Some scholars said that stale saliva has a bad smell. However, drool that has dried up also has a bad and sour smell. I am confused, Ustaz. I hope so much that you will be able to help.

Response:

According to some religious scholars, stale saliva is not najis (impure), as there is no scriptural evidence (dalil) that specifically states that stale saliva is impure.

Therefore, the simple and more accurate opinion is that there is no issue of najis in your query.

However, the popular ruling among the Shafi’i madhhab (school of thought) held by the Malay community in this region is that stale saliva is considered impure, because of its unclean and foul nature.

If you would like to hold on to this popular Shafi’i madhhab opinion in this matter, please note that stale saliva is defined to be the saliva that flows out of one’s mouth during deep sleep. It has a bad smell and a thick consistency.

If one sleeps just for a short while and the drool that trickles from the mouth does not smell, it may not be considered as stale saliva.

If you are doubtful, revert the matter to its basic ruling, that is:
(1) to consider it as not impure, unless there is a clear evidence, and,
(2) there is no presence of impurity, unless there is evidence of its presence.

Yes, there are some scholars who may have the opinion that, to err in the side of caution, it is better to rule it as impure.

It is up to you to hold on to either opinion – the simple or the conservative.

What is important is not to overburden yourself, up to the point that practising the religion becomes impractical.


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #8: Adakah Air Liur Basi Najis?

Soalan:

Air liur basi: adakah ia najis? Dan bagaimana kita hendak membezakan air liur basi dan air liur yang keluar dari mulut ketika sedang tidur?

Saya sering terkeluar air liur ketika tidur, tetapi warnanya jernih dan agak berbau. Kadang-kadang saya tidak pasti warnanya, kerana sudah kering.

Saya tidak pasti adakah ianya air liur basi yang datang dari perut atau air liur dari mulut.

Ada ustaz mengatakan air liur basi baunya busuk. Tapi, jika air liur yang sudah kering, baunya juga busuk dan masam, Ustaz.

Saya jadi keliru, Ustaz. Harap sangat Ustaz dapat membantu.

Jawapan:

Di sisi sebahagian ulama, air liur basi tidak najis kerana tiada dalil yang dikatakan secara khusus bahawa air liur basi adalah najis.

Maka yang mudah dan lebih tepat ialah tiada timbul soal najis pada apa yang anda tanyakan itu.

Namun, hukum yang popular di sisi mazhab Syafi’i pegangan masyarakat Melayu di rantau ini, air liur basi memang dihukumkan najis sebagaimana yang disebut dalam buku-buku agama yang ada.

Ia dihukumkan najis hanya kerana sifatnya yang kotor dan menjijikkan.

Jika awak masih ingin beramal dengan pendapat popular mazhab Syafi’i dalam hal ini, maka air liur basi ialah air yang keluar dari mulut apabila seorang itu mengalami “deep sleep” atau tidur yang lena. Sifatnya ialah berbau busuk, dan pekat.

Jika seseorang itu tidur hanya sebentar sahaja dan sudah terdapat air liur yang keluar dari mulutnya yang cair dan tidak berbau, ia boleh dianggap bukan air liur basi.

Jika anda ragu-ragu, kembalikan pada hukum asal iaitu asalnya ia bukan najis kecuali ada bukti jelas, dan asalnya tiada najis kecuali ada bukti kewujudannya.

Ya, terdapat sesetengah ustaz mungkin berpendapat bahawa untuk berhati-hati, lebih baik hukumkan air liur basi sebagai najis.

Terserah pada anda untuk menggunakan pendapat yang mana – yang mudah atau yang konservatif.

Yang penting, jangan sampai menyusahkan diri hingga tidak praktikal dalam mengamalkan agama.

Ask Ustaz Haniff: Umrah Without Husband & Paying for His Umrah Trip

Ask Ustaz Haniff #7: Umrah Without Husband & Paying for His Umrah Trip

Query:

I will receive my EPF savings this year, amounting to about RM100,000. With that money, I intend to bring my mother to perform Umrah, for it has been her wish since several years ago. For your information, my mother has performed the Haj in 1999. My queries:

1. May I perform the Umrah with my mother but without my husband’s company? (My husband allows this, but is not ready to perform it and cannot afford it, financially)

2. I do have the intention to fund my husband’s Umrah trip, as I understand his financial limitations. However, I have doubts because of his social background. I am worried that he might not change his ways for the better.

What is the ruling, for me to have these kind of thoughts? Please advise me, as I lack an in-depth knowledge of the religion.

Response:

1. Theologically speaking, it is permissible for a married woman to perform Umrah without her husband, if the latter consents.

The possible issue is whether you can obtain an umrah visa without a male mahram.

You need to refer this matter to the agency coordinating umrah trips in your country.

In general, women of a certain age may be able obtain Umrah visas without their respective male mahrams. It is best to refer this matter to the agency.

2. Your intention and action to pay for your husband’s umrah trip are admirable in our religion, and in sya Allah, you will be granted with great rewards.

The question whether your husband will change for the better is between him and His Lord. If he does not change his ways following the Umrah trip, in sha Allah, it would still not lessen your rewards.


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #7: Umrah Tanpa Suami & Belanja Suami Berumrah

Soalan:

Saya akan menerima simpanan EPF pada tahun ini dalam jumlah lebih kurang RM100,000.

Dengan duit itu, saya berniat untuk membawa ibu saya menunaikan umrah, yang juga hasratnya sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Sebagai makluman, ibu saya telah menunaikan ibadah haji pada tahun 1999.

Kemusykilan saya:

  1. Bolehkah saya menunaikan umrah dengan ibu tanpa ditemani suami? (Suami mengizinkan tetapi belum bersedia dan tidak mampu dari segi kewangan)
  2. Saya terniat juga untuk membelanja suami mengerjakan umrah kerana maklum dengan kemampuan kewangan yang terbatas.

Tetapi, saya berasa was-was kerana latar belakang sosialnya. Saya khuatir dan takut jika beliau tidak berubah ke arah yang lebih baik.

Apakah hukumnya saya berfikiran seperti ini? Tolong nasihatkan saya yang cetek ilmu agama ini.

Jawapan:

1. Di sisi agama, seseorang wanita yang sudah bernikah boleh pergi menunaikan umrah tanpa suaminya, jika beliau telah mengizinkan.

Yang menjadi isu ialah sama ada awak boleh mendapatkan visa umrah jika tiada mahram lelaki. Hal ini, anda perlu rujuk kepada pihak agensi yang mengurus umrah di negara anda.

Umumnya, wanita pada usia tertentu boleh mendapatkan visa umrah tanpa mahram lelaki. Berapakah usia itu, sebaiknya dirujuk kepada agensi.

2. Niat dan perbuatan untuk membelanjakan suami untuk menunaikan umrah terpuji di sisi agama. Ia memberi pahala yang besar, in sya Allah.

Persoalan sama ada suami anda berubah atau tidak, itu soal beliau dengan Allah. Jika beliau tidak berubah, in sya Allah, ia tidak sedikit pun mengurangkan pahala bagi anda.

Ask Ustaz Haniff: Future Wife Reluctant to Live Away from Her Mother

Ask Ustaz Haniff #6: Future Wife Reluctant to Live Away from Her Mother

Query:

I have a concern in which my wife-to-be doesn’t want to live away from her mother. She wants her mother to live with us after we are married.

Frankly, I disagree because I feel that I would be uncomfortable with our marital issues being known to my mother-in-law. Surely, I would want some privacy in marriage. Also, I wouldn’t want my parents to feel awkward when visiting our home in the future.

What is the solution to this problem, Ustaz?

Response:

This matter is not so much a religious concern, as it is a marital issue. Therefore, it is best for you to consult a marital counsellor.

There are neither easy nor absolute solutions to this kind of issue. It depends on the given circumstances. There is also no single perfect answer or solution, and there will always be pros and cons to a chosen solution.

Therefore, rationally, and where religion is concerned, the guideline is to decide on a solution that has its benefits outweighing its costs.

The process requires you to discuss with your wife-to-be and her mother on you respective hopes and expectations, in negotiating the best (but not necessarily the most perfect) outcome.

Your wish for privacy and being independent is valid, but it doesn’t mean that it has to happen overnight.

Marriage requires adjustments from all parties, but not everyone can change and adjust at the same pace. Any changes should be gradual. This may be what your wife-to-be need, with your support.

Remember too, that maybe what is best is not for you to expect your wife-to-be to change, but instead, for you to invest effort in adjusting to how she is.

There are many married couples that live happily and harmoniously with their parents. This requires all parties to be open-minded.

 


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #6: Bakal Isteri Payah Berpisah Dengan Ibunya

Soalan:

Saya ada masalah di mana bakal isteri saya tidak mahu berpisah dengan ibunya dan mahu ibunya tinggal bersama kami setelah berkahwin.

Sejujurnya, saya tidak setuju kerana saya akan berasa kurang selesa apabila semua hal rumahtangga saya diketahui oleh bakal ibu mertua saya.

Pastinya saya mahukan privasi dalam berumahtangga dan pastinya saya tidak mahu ibu-bapa saya berasa segan apabila hendak menziarahi rumah kami nanti.

Apakah penyelesaian kepada permasalahan saya ini, Ustaz?

Jawapan:

Hal ini bukan masalah hukum agama. Ia lebih merupakan masalah psikologi rumahtangga. Oleh itu, sebaiknya anda bertanya pada pakar kaunseling rumahtangga.

Masalah sebegini tiada jawapan atau huraian yang mudah dan muktamad. Ia bergantung pada keadaan yang ada. Tiada juga satu huraian atau jawapan yang sempurna. Apa jua huraian, pasti ada kebaikan dan keburukannya.

Oleh itu, dari segi agama dan rasional, panduannya ialah untuk anda membuat keputusan berdasarkan apa yang lebih banyak kebaikan dan kurang kemudaratannya.

Prosesnya pula ialah dengan berbincang bersama bakal isteri dan ibu mertua tentang hasrat dan harapan masing-masing. Lalu, cari jalan tolak ansur yang terbaik (bukan yang paling sempurna).

Hasrat anda untuk berdikari dan ada privasi memang wajar, tetapi ia juga bukan bermakna mesti dilakukan secara mendadak.

Perkahwinan memerlukan perubahan daripada semua pihak. Tetapi, tidak semua pihak boleh berubah pada kadar yang segera.

Tambahan pula, apa jua perubahan hendaklah dilakukan secara beransur-ansur. Mungkin ini yang diperlukan oleh bakal isteri anda dengan bantuan anda juga.

Renungkan, mungkin juga yang terbaik bukan meminta bakal isteri anda berubah, tetapi diri anda sendiri yang patut berusaha untuk menyesuaikan diri pada keadaan bakal isteri anda.

Terdapat ramai pasangan yang berumahtangga dan hidup bersama orang tua mereka dalam keadaan harmoni dan bahagia. Semua pihak perlu bersikap terbuka.

Ask Ustaz Haniff: Should I Use My Savings for Hajj or Umrah?

Ask Ustaz Haniff #5: Should I Use My Savings for Hajj or Umrah?

Query:

I wish to go visit Makkah and Madinah. My savings that I have now is enough for me to perform Umrah in sha Allah.

The question is, should I continue to save up for Hajj, or should I go and perform Umrah first?

I am 22, but if I register myself to perform the Hajj, I am unsure when my turn will come up on the Hajj waiting list. Seeking your clarification, Ustaz.

[Editor: In Singapore, pilgrims are to register with the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore to be allocated a queue number to perform the Hajj, due to the quota system that the Saudi Arabian government has designated for all pilgrims.]

Response:

There are no issues in our religion for you to use your savings to perform Umrah first, even though it would decrease your savings for Hajj.

This is because, saving up to perform the Hajj is not an obligation, even though to be financially able is a requirement

In addition, usually the waiting period for the allocation of your turn in the queue takes a long time. Hence, you can save up again for the trip.

If one already has enough savings for Hajj but is still waiting for his/her turn, it is also not a problem for him/her to spend that money first for other things.

 


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #5: Guna wang simpanan untuk haji atau umrah?

Soalan:

Saya teringin hendak berziarah ke Makkah dan Madinah. Duit simpanan saya yang ada sekarang, in sya Allah cukup hanya untuk menunaikan umrah sahaja.

Soalannya, haruskah saya mengumpul duit untuk tunaikan haji atau patutkah saya mengerjakan umrah sahaja dahulu?

Saya kini berumur 22 tahun, tetapi jika saya mendaftarkan diri untuk tunaikan haji nanti, saya kurang pasti berapa tahun lamanya saya terpaksa tunggu giliran saya untuk ke sana. Mohon penjelasan, ustaz.

[Editor: Di Singapura, para jemaah harus mendaftarkan diri di Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura untuk giliran menunaikan haji di atas sebab sistem kuota yang ditetapkan kerajaan Arab Saudi ke atas semua jemaah.]

 

Jawapan:

Tidak ada masalah apa-apa di sisi agama untuk awak gunakan wang simpanan itu untuk berumrah dahulu, walaupun ia akan mengurangkan simpanan awak untuk menunaikan kewajipan haji.

Ini kerana menyimpan duit untuk pergi haji bukan satu kewajipan, walaupun ia satu keperluan bagi memenuhi syarat kemampuan.

Tambahan pula, biasanya giliran untuk menunaikan haji mengambil masa yang lama, maka, awak boleh simpan semula duit.

Jika seseorang itu sudah memenuhi wang simpanan yang cukup tetapi giliran pergi haji beliau belum tiba, tidak juga masalah untuk beliau belanjakan duit itu dahulu untuk perkara lain.

Ask Ustaz Haniff #4: I Can’t Recite the Qur’an Well; Can I Perform the Umrah?

Query:

I intend to perform the Umrah, and I am trying to save up for the trip.

Ustaz, I am not very fluent in reciting the Qur’an. Is it possible for me to perform the Umrah and read the supplications in romanised form (instead of reading it in Arabic)? Other than that, I am also putting in effort in attending classes to learn to read the Qur’an.

Response:

It is not a condition of Umrah for you to be able to read the Qur’an fluently, and it is not necessary for you to wait until you have learned to read the Qur’an before performing Umrah.

The rituals of Umrah do not require one to read the Qur’an. It is sufficient for you to recite zikr (remembrance) and supplications (while performing Umrah).

You may recite any zikr (remembrance) in Arabic that you are familiar with. For making du’a/ supplication, you can just read them out in Malay.

[Editor: Do consider the Qur’anic literacy and recitation programmes that Perdaus conducts for adults, Kelas Agama Dewasa, or the latest intake for Teknik Cordobana express course (coming soon).]

Tanya Ustaz Haniff #4: Tak Lancar Mengaji, Boleh Tunaikan Umrah?

Soalan:

Saya berniat untuk menunaikan umrah dan sedang berusaha menabung.

Ustaz, saya tidak lancar membaca Al-Qur’an. Boleh ke saya menunaikan umrah dan du’a-du’a dibaca dalam Rumi? Selain itu, saya juga sedang berusaha mengambil kelas untuk mengaji Al-Qur’an.

Jawapan:

Bukan syarat umrah perlu tahu membaca Al-Qur’an dengan lancar dan tidak perlu tunggu hingga pandai baca Al-Qur’an untuk tunaikan umrah.

Ibadah umrah tidak memerlukan seseorang itu untuk membaca Al-Qur’an. Memadai untuk anda membaca zikir dan du’a.

Mana-mana zikir yang anda tahu dalam Bahasa Arab, lakukan dalam Bahasa Arab. Manakala du’a pula boleh dilakukan dalam Bahasa Melayu sahaja.

Ask Ustaz Haniff: Domestic Helpers as Zakat Recipients

Ask Ustaz Haniff #3: Foreign Domestic Workers as Zakat Recipients

Query:

Can zakat be given to a domestic worker who still owes money to her agent?

Response:

If the domestic worker is a Muslim, then yes, and it is better for you to do so.

This is because foreign domestic workers may be considered to be from the poor and needy. If not, they would not be working overseas.

The second reason is because they are in debt and under the “gharimin” category (asnaf) for zakat.

They are still eligible to receive zakat even after paying off their debts to their agents, however, because they still belong to the first category of being poor and/or needy individuals.

 


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #3: Pembantu Rumah dari Luar Negara Sebagai Penerima Zakat

Soalan:

Bolehkah memberi zakat kepada pembantu rumah yang masih berhutang dengan agen?

Jawapan:

Jika pembantu rumah itu seorang Muslim, boleh dan afdal.

Ini kerana pembantu rumah dari luar negeri boleh dikatakan dari golongan fakir miskin. Kalau tidak, mereka tidak akan bekerja menjadi pembantu rumah di luar negara.

Sebab kedua ialah kerana mereka berhutang dan tergolong dalam asnaf “gharimin”.

Namun, mereka masih layak menerima zakat walau sudah habis membayar hutang agen, diatas sebab pertama, iaitu dari golongan orang miskin.

Ask Ustaz Haniff #2: Zakat on Fixed Deposits

Query:

I have a fixed/term deposit account. Can I use cash from my savings account to pay zakat for the former, or do I have to use money from the fixed deposit account itself?

Response:

You have two options:

1. To pay zakat for the fixed deposit account (if the amount has reached the zakat threshold) using cash from other savings source, or

2. Wait for the end of the term of the fixed deposit, and use the money from this account to pay the accumulated outstanding zakat, just like how zakat on CPF is done. [Editor: link to calculate zakat for your CPF here]

If the zakat amount for the fixed deposit account is not too overwhelming, and savings from other account(s) is sufficient to cover the payment of zakat, option 1 is preferable as it expedites the fulfilment of zakat obligation.

In situations where the zakat amount for the fixed deposit account is too big and/or there are no other savings source to pay zakat for the fixed deposit account, option 2 may be selected.

 


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #2: Zakat akaun deposit tetap (fixed deposit)

Soalan:

Saya ada akaun deposit tetap (fixed/term deposit). Boleh tak saya bayar zakat gunakan wang dari akaun simpanan biasa? Atau haruskah saya gunakan wang dari akaun fixed deposit itu sendiri?

Jawapan:

Anda ada dua pilihan:

1. Bayar zakat bagi wang yg disimpan dalam fixed deposit (jika cukup syarat zakat) menggunakan wang dari simpanan lain, atau,

2. Tunggu hingga tempoh fixed deposit, lalu menggunakannya untuk membayar zakat yang tertunggak sebagaimana cara pembayaran zakat CPF. [Editor: Pautan untuk membantu anda membuat kiraan bagi zakat CPF]

Jika kadar zakat bagi wang dalam fixed deposit tidak begitu banyak dan wang simpanan dalam akaun lain boleh menampungnya, pilihan 1 adalah lebih baik kerana ia menyegerakan penunaian kewajipan.

Terdapat situasi di mana kadar zakat dalam fixed deposit besar atau seseorang itu tidak mempunyai simpanan lain untuk membayar zakat bagi wang deposit, maka pilihan 2 boleh digunapakai.

Ask Ustaz Haniff: Tarawih and Witr

14th June 2016 by Corp Comms

 

At a recent Perdaus event to welcome Ramadhan, at Masjid Kg Siglap.

Ma sha Allah, we are humbled and excited to introduce to you our Question and Answer series on religious queries on this blog.

Queries are answered by Ustaz Dr Muhammad Haniff Hassan. They were originally published on his Facebook and website. The original queries and their respective answers are edited for style and clarity and then translated from Malay to English. Both English and Malay content are published together to maximise its reach.

We hope that the general Muslim public will be gain some benefit and knowledge from this series, which we hope to publish at least twice a month, God willing.

In light of Ramadhan, the first post is related to one of the sunnahs of the Holy Month: solat tarawih. Let’s get to the first Q&A!


 

Republished from Ustaz Haniff’s Facebook with his kind permission. Edited by Perdaus and translated by Azma Abu Basri.

Ask Ustaz Haniff #1: Tarawih and Witr

Query:

My relative still has doubts on the number of rakaat of tarawih prayers and about performing witr prayers. He is of the opinion that it is not necessary to perform the witr after tarawih. I truly hope you could give me a very clear explanation from an Ustaz (on this matter) so that I could inform him.

Response:

On rakaats of tarawih

None of the religious scholars would dismiss the tarawih prayers even if they were two, four or six rakaats, nor would they rule the prayers invalid, nor unworthy of reward.

In fact, for the general masses, it is also acceptable to perform only two rakaats of tarawih, while the maximum number of rakaats is dependent on the abilities of each individual.

The much-heard ruling on twenty or eight rakaats serves as a general guideline for the general Muslim public to facilitate worship/ibadah, in accordance to the practices of the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions.

Both opinions are acceptable, and this guideline serves as a convenient reference to facilitate the ibadah for the masses – for those who are unable to pray twenty rakaats, they may pray eighteen, sixteen, ten or eight rakaats, or if not, they may do as many/as little rakaats as they are able to.

We should not dismiss any of the opinions in this matter.

On witr

The witr prayer is a sunnah (voluntary) prayer performed every night, and not specific only to Ramadhan.

The witr prayers are not necessarily performed immediately after the tarawih prayers. It is actually better to perform the Witr at the end of the night, before the start of the Subh/Fajr period, i.e. the period of Sahur/pre-dawn meal.

However, it is also not wrong to pray the witr right after tarawih prayers, as the period for the Witr prayers begins after Isha’, and ends at start of Subh period/azan.

 


Tanya Ustaz Haniff #1: Tarawih dan Witir

Soalan

Saya ada berdiskusi dengan saudara saya berkenaan solat tarawih dalam bulan Ramadan yang akan datang ini.

Saudara saya berpendapat witir tidak payah dilakukan bila bertarawih. Mohon sangat-sangat minta penjelasan Ustaz supaya saya dapat berkongsi jawapan yang terang dari seorang ustaz pada saudara saya nanti.

Jawapan 

Tarawih

Tiada para ulama yang akan kata siapa solat tarawih dua, empat atau enam sahaja rakaat pun akan sia-sia, tak sah dan tiada pahala.

Yang benar, bagi orang awam, boleh sembahyang tarawih walau hanya dua rakaat dan yang maksimum terserah pada kemampuan masing-masing.

Penentuan dua puluh atau lapan hanyalah bagi memudahkan orang awam sahaja berdasarkan amalan Nabi (SAW) dan sahabat-sahabatnya.

Dua-dua boleh kerana tujuannya ialah bagi kemudahan orang awam beribadah – yang tak mampu buat dua puluh, boleh buat lapan belas, enam belas, sepuluh atau lapan sahaja, dan yang tak mampu juga, buat berapa sahaja.

Sepatutnya kita tak perlu menyalahkan mana-mana pendapat dalam hal ini.

Witir

Witir adalah sunat diamalkan setiap malam, bukan hanya pada bulan Ramadhan.

Namun, memang tak mesti solat witir dengan segera lepas solat tarawih kerana yang afdhal ialah solat witir di hujung malam sebelum subuh i.e. waktu sahur.

Tapi tak salah juga untuk solat witir selepas solat tarawih kerana waktur solat witir ialah dari selepas solat isya’ hingga sebelum masuk waktu subuh.
