1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,060
The story of Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him) with the wife of Al-Aziz.

3
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:13,919
Did Al-Aziz cause his wife's sin?

4
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:20,719
The woman is a human being, subject to the same human failings and susceptibility to sin.

5
00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:25,719
The issue is not that, but rather the real issue

6
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:30,719
is the woman's neglect until she falls into sin, and then she is blamed.

7
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:36,140
Allah, the Almighty, has made the man the guardian over the woman.

8
00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:38,140
He, the Exalted, said:

9
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:45,140
“Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.” (4:34)

10
00:00:45,140 --> 00:00:51,460
So Allah, the Glorified in His Majesty, clarifies for us the man's duty in the family system in Islam,

11
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:54,460
which is to be the guardian over the woman.

12
00:00:54,460 --> 00:00:59,460
Meaning, he is the primary responsible one for his women, whether wives or daughters.

13
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:04,459
And he is responsible for their upbringing according to what Allah loves and is pleased with.

14
00:01:04,459 --> 00:01:08,459
And he is accountable for this task on the Day of Resurrection.

15
00:01:08,459 --> 00:01:10,489
Ibn Jarir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

16
00:01:10,489 --> 00:01:13,489
Meaning, by His statement, the Glorified, His praise be exalted:

17
00:01:13,489 --> 00:01:17,489
“Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.” (4:34)

18
00:01:17,489 --> 00:01:23,489
Men are the guardians of their women, in guiding them and restraining them

19
00:01:23,489 --> 00:01:27,489
from what is incumbent upon them towards Allah and towards themselves.

20
00:01:27,489 --> 00:01:35,709
So, a man's neglect of those under his care, whether a wife, daughter, or others, makes him sinful.

21
00:01:35,709 --> 00:01:41,709
He shares in her sin due to his neglect in her upbringing and in restraining her.

22
00:01:41,709 --> 00:01:48,709
One of the primary causes for a married woman falling into the mire of sin and desire,

23
00:01:48,709 --> 00:01:51,709
which may lead to adultery,

24
00:01:51,709 --> 00:01:54,709
is the husband's neglect of her legitimate rights,

25
00:01:54,709 --> 00:01:59,709
including the fulfillment of natural needs for which people are created.

26
00:01:59,709 --> 00:02:04,840
A woman needs a man just as a man needs her.

27
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,840
She needs physical fulfillment and emotional fulfillment.

28
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,900
She needs fulfillment through kind, affectionate words,

29
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:20,900
just as she needs to satisfy her desires with what Allah has made lawful for her with her husband.

30
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:27,060
So, the husband's neglect of these needs can cause the woman to fall into sin,

31
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:31,419
if she does not fear Allah and His punishment.

32
00:02:31,419 --> 00:02:37,419
And a sound woman's nature does not accept being with two men at the same time,

33
00:02:37,419 --> 00:02:40,419
neither physically nor emotionally.

34
00:02:40,419 --> 00:02:45,419
If this nature is distorted, the woman becomes like an animal,

35
00:02:45,419 --> 00:02:48,419
approached by anyone and everyone,

36
00:02:48,419 --> 00:02:53,419
without regard for the consequences in this world or the hereafter.

37
00:02:53,419 --> 00:02:57,509
And whoever is blinded by their desires from seeing these consequences,

38
00:02:57,509 --> 00:03:00,509
they cast off life from their necks,

39
00:03:00,509 --> 00:03:04,509
and do everything to obtain what they desire.

40
00:03:04,509 --> 00:03:10,509
And this is corroborated by what the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said about modesty:

41
00:03:10,509 --> 00:03:15,509
"Indeed, among what people have attained from the words of the first prophecy:

42
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:19,509
'If you have no shame, then do whatever you wish.'"

43
00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:21,900
Narrated by Al-Bukhari.

44
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:25,900
And when we return to the story of Yusuf with the wife of Al-Aziz,

45
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:32,900
we ask: Did Al-Aziz cause his wife's deviation and her falling into this sin?

46
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,900
There are some indications in the story

47
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:39,900
through which we can understand the extent of Al-Aziz's error

48
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:44,960
and his role in his wife's temptation of Prophet Yusuf, peace be upon him.

49
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,960
The first of them is:

50
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,960
bringing a handsome young man full of vigor into the house

51
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,960
and leaving her [alone] with him.

52
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,960
This is a grave error.

53
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,960
It may lead the woman to be infatuated with him and to invite him to herself.

54
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,090
As happened in this story.

55
00:04:02,090 --> 00:04:07,090
A story occurred during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

56
00:04:07,090 --> 00:04:10,090
similar to the error of Al-'Aziz with his wife,

57
00:04:10,090 --> 00:04:14,340
in bringing a young man into the house to serve the wife.

58
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:19,339
From Abu Hurayrah and Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with them both,

59
00:04:19,339 --> 00:04:21,339
that they said:

60
00:04:21,339 --> 00:04:27,339
"A Bedouin man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and said:

61
00:04:27,339 --> 00:04:29,339
'O Messenger of Allah,

62
00:04:29,339 --> 00:04:30,339
I implore you by Allah,

63
00:04:30,339 --> 00:04:33,339
to judge for me according to the Book of Allah.'

64
00:04:33,339 --> 00:04:37,410
The other party, who was more knowledgeable in fiqh than him, said:

65
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:40,410
'Yes, so judge between us by the Book of Allah.'

66
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:42,410
And grant me what is due to me.

67
00:04:42,410 --> 00:04:45,410
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

68
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:47,439
'Speak.'

69
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:48,439
He said:

70
00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:53,439
'My son was a hired laborer for this man, and he committed adultery with his wife.

71
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:56,439
I was informed that my son is subject to stoning.

72
00:04:56,439 --> 00:05:00,439
So I ransomed him from him with one hundred sheep and a female slave.

73
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:02,439
I then asked the people of knowledge,

74
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:07,439
and they informed me that my son is subject to one hundred lashes and a year's exile,

75
00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:10,439
and that his wife is subject to stoning.

76
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,439
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

77
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:15,439
'By Him in Whose hand is my soul,

78
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:19,439
I shall judge between you by the Book of Allah.

79
00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:22,470
The female slave and the sheep are to be returned.

80
00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:25,470
And your son shall receive one hundred lashes and a year's exile.

81
00:05:25,470 --> 00:05:28,569
Go tomorrow, Unays, to this man's wife.

82
00:05:28,569 --> 00:05:31,569
If she confesses, then stone her.'

83
00:05:31,569 --> 00:05:32,569
He said:

84
00:05:32,569 --> 00:05:35,569
'So he went to her the next day, and she confessed.

85
00:05:35,569 --> 00:05:40,569
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, ordered her, and she was stoned.

86
00:05:40,569 --> 00:05:42,569
Narrated by Bukhari.

87
00:05:42,569 --> 00:05:48,600
In another narration by Bukhari, the connection of the hired laborer to the woman was clarified:

88
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,629
'He was a hired laborer in the household of this man.'

89
00:05:51,629 --> 00:05:54,629
And by Nasa'i and Tabarani:

90
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:57,629
'My son was a hired worker for his wife.'

91
00:05:57,629 --> 00:06:00,889
So this man hired this young man

92
00:06:00,889 --> 00:06:02,889
to work for him in the house,

93
00:06:02,889 --> 00:06:07,889
and entrusted him with handling whatever his wife needed.

94
00:06:07,889 --> 00:06:13,889
This became a cause for him to be close to her, converse with her, and become familiar with her.

95
00:06:13,889 --> 00:06:18,050
The matter ultimately led to adultery between them.

96
00:06:18,050 --> 00:06:20,050
Ibn Hajar, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

97
00:06:20,050 --> 00:06:25,050
'And in it is that the questioner mentions everything that occurred in the story,

98
00:06:25,050 --> 00:06:29,050
so that the mufti or judge might infer from it

99
00:06:29,050 --> 00:06:32,050
What is used as evidence for the specific ruling in the matter.

100
00:06:32,050 --> 00:06:34,050
Due to the questioner's statement:

101
00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:37,050
"Indeed, my son was hired as a laborer for this man."

102
00:06:37,050 --> 00:06:41,050
And he was only asking about the ruling on adultery.

103
00:06:41,050 --> 00:06:43,050
The secret behind this is:

104
00:06:43,050 --> 00:06:47,050
That he wanted to provide some excuse for his son.

105
00:06:47,050 --> 00:06:50,050
And that he was not known for promiscuity.

106
00:06:50,050 --> 00:06:54,050
And he did not assault the woman, for example, nor did he force her.

107
00:06:54,050 --> 00:06:58,050
Rather, this happened to him due to the prolonged association,

108
00:06:59,050 --> 00:07:03,050
Which necessitates greater familiarity and intimacy.

109
00:07:03,050 --> 00:07:06,050
From this, we infer an encouragement to keep unrelated men

110
00:07:06,050 --> 00:07:09,050
away from unrelated women whenever possible.

111
00:07:09,050 --> 00:07:12,050
Because close association can lead to corruption.

112
00:07:12,050 --> 00:07:16,240
And Satan may use it as a means to cause corruption.

113
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,240
Secondly,

114
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,240
The deficiency in fulfilling the wife's marital needs,

115
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,240
And not satisfying her physical and emotional needs.

116
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,240
And although this matter cannot be definitively stated,

117
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Due to the lack of explicit mention,

118
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,240
It can be inferred from the fact that a woman who is satisfied by her husband

119
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,240
would not look to anyone else,

120
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,240
Unless she was inherently wicked from the start.

121
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,240
And the habit of those in high political positions

122
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,240
is to be frequently preoccupied outside the home,

123
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,240
and to fall short in their duty to their household.

124
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,240
So it might be that Al-'Aziz fell into something of that.

125
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,339
And in this is a reminder to all men,

126
00:07:58,339 --> 00:08:02,339
in their various worldly and otherworldly endeavors,

127
00:08:02,339 --> 00:08:06,339
not to be so preoccupied with these activities that they neglect their wives' rights.

128
00:08:06,339 --> 00:08:09,339
And to balance work outside the home,

129
00:08:09,339 --> 00:08:12,339
whether for material gain

130
00:08:12,339 --> 00:08:14,339
or for calling to Allah,

131
00:08:14,339 --> 00:08:17,339
with the rights of the wife, spending time with her,

132
00:08:17,339 --> 00:08:19,339
having pleasant conversation with her,

133
00:08:19,339 --> 00:08:22,339
and satisfying her natural needs.

134
00:08:22,339 --> 00:08:26,660
And the Commander of the Faithful, Umar, realized this truth,

135
00:08:26,660 --> 00:08:29,660
which is a woman's need for her husband,

136
00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:32,659
due to an incident that happened to him.

137
00:08:32,659 --> 00:08:36,659
So he established a system for those who went out to fight in the cause of Allah,

138
00:08:36,659 --> 00:08:40,659
to assist the fighter in protecting his wife's honor,

139
00:08:40,659 --> 00:08:43,659
and to prevent the wife from falling into vice.

140
00:08:43,659 --> 00:08:45,690
It is narrated from Zayd ibn Aslam,

141
00:08:45,690 --> 00:08:48,690
that Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him,

142
00:08:48,690 --> 00:08:51,690
went out one night guarding the people.

143
00:08:51,690 --> 00:08:55,690
He passed by a woman in her house, and she was saying:

144
00:08:55,690 --> 00:08:59,690
"The night has grown long, and its side has darkened.

145
00:08:59,690 --> 00:09:03,690
And it has become long for me, having no lover to play with.

146
00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:07,690
By Allah, if it were not for the fear of Allah alone,

147
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:10,690
He would move the sides of this bed.

148
00:09:10,690 --> 00:09:12,820
When 'Umar woke up in the morning,

149
00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:15,820
he sent for the woman to inquire about her.

150
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:20,820
So it was said, "This is so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so,

151
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:23,820
and her husband is fighting in the cause of Allah."

152
00:09:23,820 --> 00:09:25,820
So he sent a woman to her,

153
00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:30,820
saying, "Stay with her until her husband returns."

154
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:33,820
And he wrote to her husband, recalling him.

155
00:09:33,820 --> 00:09:37,820
Then he went to his daughter Hafsah and said to her,

156
00:09:37,820 --> 00:09:41,820
"My daughter, how long can a woman endure being away from her husband?"

157
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:43,820
She replied to him,

158
00:09:43,820 --> 00:09:46,820
"May Allah forgive you, my father.

159
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:49,820
Would someone like you ask someone like me about this?"

160
00:09:49,820 --> 00:09:53,820
He said to her, "Were it not for something

161
00:09:53,820 --> 00:09:56,820
I wish to consider for the welfare of the subjects,

162
00:09:56,820 --> 00:09:59,820
I would not have asked you this."

163
00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:03,820
She said, "Four months, or five months,

164
00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:05,820
or six months."

165
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:08,879
So 'Umar said, "People go on campaigns,

166
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:11,879
traveling for a month to go,

167
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:14,879
and staying for four months on their campaign,

168
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:16,879
and returning for a month."

169
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:21,879
So he set that duration for people in their campaigns.

170
00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:23,879
Narrated by Sa'id ibn Mansur.

171
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:26,200
The third point:

172
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,200
The 'Aziz's reaction after he became certain

173
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,200
that his wife was the one who had erred

174
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,200
does not suggest that the previous mistake was addressed

175
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,200
in a proper manner.

176
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,200
Rather, it indicates the continuation of the error

177
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,200
that led his wife to attempt to seduce Yusuf.

178
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,200
The 'Aziz was satisfied with his wife

179
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,200
by admonishing her to seek forgiveness

180
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,200
for the sin she had committed.

181
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,200
However, he did not remove Yusuf from her presence,

182
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,200
but rather kept him in the palace.

183
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,200
And this emboldened her later

184
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,200
to conspire against him with the women,

185
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,200
in an attempt to persuade him

186
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,200
to commit adultery.

187
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,200
But Allah protected him.

188
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,419
The 'Aziz was satisfied with Yusuf

189
00:11:08,419 --> 00:11:11,419
by asking him to keep the matter confidential

190
00:11:11,419 --> 00:11:13,419
and not reveal it to anyone.

191
00:11:13,419 --> 00:11:16,419
But he also did not protect Yusuf

192
00:11:16,419 --> 00:11:18,419
from the 'Aziz's wife's influence over him,

193
00:11:18,419 --> 00:11:21,419
but rather kept him at her disposal

194
00:11:21,419 --> 00:11:23,419
and in her service.

195
00:11:23,419 --> 00:11:25,419
This implies a continued encounter.

196
00:11:25,419 --> 00:11:28,419
And the gaze of the wife of Al-Aziz upon Yusuf.

197
00:11:28,419 --> 00:11:30,419
Meaning, the continued infatuation

198
00:11:30,419 --> 00:11:32,679
of the wife of Al-Aziz with Yusuf.

199
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,679
Fourth:

200
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,679
Negligence in oversight.

201
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,679
For they encouraged her in this transgression.

202
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,679
Rather, the verses indicated their involvement

203
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,679
also in seducing him.

204
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,679
Therefore, a man must exercise oversight

205
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,679
over those who enter his home

206
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,679
and are with his wife among women.

207
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,679
For a companion leads one astray.

208
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,679
And in this is a lesson for every man

209
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,679
who discovers in his wife a deviation

210
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,679
from the path of chastity,

211
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,679
at whatever level it may be among its three degrees:

212
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,710
Negligence in modesty and overt display.

213
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:11,710
Negligence in shyness in her dealings

214
00:12:11,710 --> 00:12:14,710
with men, whether by word or deed.

215
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:16,710
Committing adultery

216
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:20,710
or its preliminaries, such as seclusion, kissing,

217
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:23,710
touching, and lewd or vulgar speech.

218
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:25,710
He must address the issue

219
00:12:25,710 --> 00:12:27,710
with a correct Islamic approach

220
00:12:27,710 --> 00:12:31,710
that prevents the woman from continuing on this path

221
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:33,710
or falling into what is forbidden,

222
00:12:33,710 --> 00:12:35,710
which is adultery.

223
00:12:35,710 --> 00:12:37,899
Indeed, a woman is a man's honor.

224
00:12:37,899 --> 00:12:40,899
So he must either protect and guard it

225
00:12:40,899 --> 00:12:42,899
or neglect it.

226
00:12:42,899 --> 00:12:44,970
If the man fulfills his duty

227
00:12:44,970 --> 00:12:48,970
of advice, guidance, and protection of his honor,

228
00:12:48,970 --> 00:12:51,970
he has excused himself before Allah.

229
00:12:51,970 --> 00:12:52,970
But if he neglects it,

230
00:12:52,970 --> 00:12:56,970
he will be punished for causing it.

231
00:12:56,970 --> 00:13:01,190
The presence of a woman in an environment prone to laxity,

232
00:13:01,190 --> 00:13:03,190
with much overt display,

233
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:07,190
necessitates that the man warn her against these deviations

234
00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:10,190
by educating her upon the truth

235
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:13,259
and explaining it with religious evidence,

236
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:15,259
and that her adherence to it

237
00:13:15,259 --> 00:13:17,259
is for the sake of Allah,

238
00:13:17,259 --> 00:13:21,259
not for the sake of the man's presence with her in life.

239
00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:25,259
So if he dies, she abandons what she was upon during his life.

240
00:13:25,259 --> 00:13:29,320
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, informed us

241
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,320
about a type of woman

242
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,320
who possesses these traits:

243
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,320
That is, going out in public in front of her husband and while he is alive.

244
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,320
Then, if he dies or travels,

245
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,320
or is absent from her for any reason,

246
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,320
she reveals what she was hiding within herself,

247
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,320
or reverts to what she was previously upon.

248
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,320
So the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

249
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,320
"Three are those about whom you should not ask."

250
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,320
"A man who separates himself from the Jama'ah (community),"

251
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,320
"and disobeys his leader, and dies in disobedience."

252
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,320
"And a slave or servant who is kept [by his master] and dies [in that state]."

253
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,320
"And a woman whose husband is absent from her,"

254
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,320
"having sufficed her needs in this world,"

255
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,320
"and she adorns herself [immodestly] after him."

256
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,320
"So do not ask about them."

257
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,320
Narrated by Ahmad.

258
00:14:18,539 --> 00:14:22,539
So, is the woman to be blamed if the man falls short in providing for her chastity,

259
00:14:22,539 --> 00:14:25,539
and as a result, she falls into adultery

260
00:14:25,539 --> 00:14:27,539
or some of its preliminaries?

261
00:14:27,539 --> 00:14:30,539
Yes, the woman is to be blamed for that.

262
00:14:30,539 --> 00:14:33,539
She is sinful and in transgression,

263
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:36,539
deserving of divine punishment

264
00:14:36,539 --> 00:14:39,539
for her actions in this world or the hereafter.

265
00:14:39,539 --> 00:14:42,539
This is because she is commanded to obey Allah

266
00:14:42,539 --> 00:14:46,539
and to preserve her chastity and protect herself from adultery and its preliminaries,

267
00:14:46,539 --> 00:14:49,539
just as the man is commanded to do so.

268
00:14:49,539 --> 00:14:52,539
And the man's falling short in her rightful due

269
00:14:52,539 --> 00:14:55,539
is not considered a justification for her falling into adultery.

270
00:14:55,539 --> 00:14:59,539
Similarly, the woman's falling short in giving the man his rightful due

271
00:14:59,539 --> 00:15:03,539
is not considered a justification for him falling into adultery.

272
00:15:03,539 --> 00:15:08,700
However, the man is to be blamed for his shortcomings in ensuring his wife's chastity.

273
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:12,700
He is accountable for that before Allah.

274
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:16,740
He is to be blamed for allowing his wife to work with men

275
00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:18,740
and exposing her to temptation.

276
00:15:18,740 --> 00:15:22,740
He is to be blamed for leaving his daughters with unrelated men

277
00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:26,740
in various settings, whatever they may be,

278
00:15:26,740 --> 00:15:28,740
and for his approval of that.

279
00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:32,740
He is to be blamed for the way he handles the mistakes of his household members

280
00:15:32,740 --> 00:15:35,740
if they contradict Islamic law.

281
00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:41,769
Indeed, the reaction of every man after discovering his wife's betrayal of his honor

282
00:15:41,769 --> 00:15:44,769
indicates the level of his faith,

283
00:15:44,769 --> 00:15:46,769
the level of his character,

284
00:15:46,769 --> 00:15:48,769
the level of his intellect,

285
00:15:48,769 --> 00:15:51,960
and the level of his jealousy for his honor.

286
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,960
The hadith continues.

287
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,960
We will complete it in a future meeting, Allah willing.

288
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,889
The story of Yusuf and the wife of Al-Aziz.
