WEBVTT 00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:09.779 Riyad al-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous) from the words of the Master of the Messengers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:00:09.779 --> 00:00:15.310 Chapter: The Prohibition of Listening to Backbiting (Ghibah). 00:00:15.310 --> 00:00:21.309 It is commanded that whoever hears prohibited backbiting must refute it and rebuke the speaker. 00:00:21.309 --> 00:00:27.309 If one is unable to do so, or if the speaker does not accept the rebuke, one must leave that gathering if possible. 00:00:28.780 --> 00:00:30.780 Allah the Exalted says: 00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:33.909 "And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it." 00:00:33.909 --> 00:00:36.070 And He the Exalted says: 00:00:36.070 --> 00:00:40.070 “And who shun vain conversation,” (23:3) 00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:42.070 And He the Exalted says: 00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:49.070 “(O man), follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge. Lo! the hearing and the sight and the heart - of each of these it will be asked.” (17:36) 00:00:49.070 --> 00:00:51.259 And He the Exalted says: 00:00:51.259 --> 00:01:00.420 “And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations, withdraw from them until they meddle with another topic. And if the devil cause thee to forget, sit not, after the remembrance, with the congregation of wrong-doers.” (6:68) 00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:08.420 "And if Satan should make you forget, then after the reminder, do not sit with the wrongdoing people." 00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:12.540 On the authority of Abu al-Darda’, may Allah be pleased with him: 00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:16.540 From the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said: 00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:19.540 "Whoever defends the honor of his brother, 00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:23.540 Allah will defend his face from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection." 00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:26.640 Narrated by al-Tirmidhi. 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.340 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:35.760 It is incumbent upon anyone who hears the backbiting of a Muslim to refute it and restrain the speaker. 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.760 Whoever cannot do so must leave the gathering. 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:47.299 Defending a Muslim and protecting his honor is a path to salvation from the punishment of Hell on the Day of Resurrection. 00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:53.299 It contains a statement regarding the immense merit of one who prevents backbiting and deters the backbiter. 00:01:53.299 --> 00:01:55.819 The magnification of the sanctity of a Muslim. 00:01:55.819 --> 00:02:00.819 And a statement of the gravity of the sin of one who violates it, whether by word or deed. 00:02:00.819 --> 00:02:05.420 The Muslim community is cohesive, like a solid structure, 00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:08.419 Supporting one another. 00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:12.419 Because Muslims are brothers in faith. 00:02:12.419 --> 00:02:16.509 On the authority of 'Itban ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:02:16.509 --> 00:02:21.509 In his long, famous hadith which preceded in the Chapter of Hope: 00:02:21.509 --> 00:02:27.509 He said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood to pray, 00:02:27.509 --> 00:02:31.509 And said: "Where is Malik ibn al-Dukhshum?" 00:02:31.509 --> 00:02:38.509 A man said: "That is a hypocrite who does not love Allah or His Messenger." 00:02:38.509 --> 00:02:41.639 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.639 "Do not say that. 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.639 Do you not see that he has said, 'There is no god but Allah,' 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.639 Seeking thereby the Countenance of Allah? 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:57.639 And indeed, Allah has forbidden the Fire to anyone who says, 'There is no god but Allah,' 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.900 Seeking thereby the Countenance of Allah." 00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:03.379 Agreed upon. 00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:08.379 On the authority of Ka'b ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, in his long hadith 00:03:08.379 --> 00:03:10.379 Regarding the story of his repentance, 00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:12.379 Which has already passed in the Chapter of Repentance: 00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:14.409 He said: 00:03:14.409 --> 00:03:17.409 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, 00:03:17.409 --> 00:03:20.409 While he was sitting among the people in Tabuk: 00:03:20.409 --> 00:03:23.469 "What has Ka'b ibn Malik done?" 00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:26.469 A man from Banu Salamah said: 00:03:26.469 --> 00:03:28.469 "O Messenger of Allah, 00:03:28.469 --> 00:03:32.539 His two garments and his looking at his own sides have detained him." 00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:36.539 Mu'adh ibn Jabal, may Allah be pleased with him, said to him: 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:38.539 "What a terrible thing you have said! 00:03:38.539 --> 00:03:40.539 By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, 00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:43.569 We have known of him nothing but good." 00:03:43.569 --> 00:03:47.569 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, remained silent. 00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:49.599 Agreed upon. 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.889 "Sides" means his flanks. 00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:56.889 It is an indication of his self-admiration. 00:03:56.889 --> 00:04:03.060 Chapter: What is Permissible of Backbiting. 00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:08.919 Know that backbiting is permissible for a valid, Shari'ah-based purpose 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.919 That cannot be achieved otherwise. 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:14.919 It is for six reasons: 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.920 First: Seeking redress for a grievance. 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:27.920 It is permissible for the oppressed to complain to the ruler, the judge, or others who have authority or the ability to grant him justice against his oppressor. 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:33.139 He says: "So-and-so wronged me by doing such-and-such." 00:04:33.139 --> 00:04:40.139 Second: Seeking assistance in changing an evil and bringing the sinner back to the truth. 00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:44.139 He says to someone he hopes has the power to remove the evil: 00:04:44.139 --> 00:04:47.139 "So-and-so is doing such-and-such, 00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:50.139 So rebuke him for it," and the like. 00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:54.139 His intention must be to reach the goal of removing the evil. 00:04:54.139 --> 00:04:58.139 If he does not intend that, it is forbidden. 00:04:58.139 --> 00:05:01.339 Third: Seeking a legal ruling (fatwa). 00:05:01.339 --> 00:05:04.339 He says to the mufti: 00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:09.339 "My father, brother, husband, or so-and-so has wronged me by doing such-and-such. 00:05:09.339 --> 00:05:11.339 Is he allowed to do that? 00:05:11.339 --> 00:05:14.339 What is my way to be free from him, 00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:18.339 Obtain my right, and repel the injustice?" and the like. 00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:21.370 This is permissible due to necessity. 00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:24.370 However, it is more cautious and better to say: 00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:31.370 "What do you say about a man, a person, or a husband whose situation was such-and-such?" 00:05:31.370 --> 00:05:35.370 For the purpose is achieved without naming the person. 00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:38.370 Nevertheless, naming is permissible, 00:05:38.370 --> 00:05:43.370 As we will mention in the hadith of Hind, if Allah the Exalted wills. 00:05:43.370 --> 00:05:49.779 Fourth: Warning Muslims against evil and advising them. 00:05:49.779 --> 00:05:51.779 This is in several forms: 00:05:51.779 --> 00:05:55.779 Among them is criticizing the narrators and witnesses who are unreliable. 00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:59.779 This is permissible by the consensus of the Muslims, 00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:01.779 Indeed, it is mandatory due to necessity. 00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:06.819 Among them is consulting regarding marrying someone, entering into a partnership with them, 00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:12.819 Entrusting them with something, dealing with them, or living near them. 00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:16.910 It is mandatory for the one being consulted not to hide the person's condition, 00:06:16.910 --> 00:06:20.910 But rather to mention the faults in the spirit of sincere advice. 00:06:20.910 --> 00:06:25.980 Among them is if one sees a student of knowledge frequenting an innovator, 00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:28.980 Or a corrupt person, to learn from him, 00:06:28.980 --> 00:06:31.980 And he fears that the student will be harmed by that, 00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:35.980 Then he must advise him by clarifying the person's state, 00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:38.980 On the condition that he intends sincere advice. 00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:41.980 This is something in which people err. 00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:44.980 The speaker might be driven by envy, 00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:47.980 And Satan confuses him in this, 00:06:47.980 --> 00:06:50.980 Making him imagine that it is sincere advice. 00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:53.980 So one must be alert to this. 00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:58.980 Among them is if someone holds a position of authority but does not fulfill it properly, 00:06:58.980 --> 00:07:02.980 Either because he is not fit for it, 00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:07.980 Or because he is corrupt, negligent, or the like. 00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:12.980 It is mandatory to mention this to those who have general authority over him, 00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:15.980 So that they may remove him and appoint someone who is fit, 00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:21.980 Or so that they know his state to deal with him accordingly and not be deceived by him, 00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:25.980 And to strive to urge him toward uprightness, 00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:28.170 Or replace him. 00:07:29.170 --> 00:07:33.170 That he is openly committing sin or innovation, 00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:37.170 Such as one who openly drinks alcohol or seizes people's property, 00:07:37.170 --> 00:07:41.170 Collects illegal taxes, or extorts money unjustly, 00:07:41.170 --> 00:07:44.170 Or assumes invalid positions. 00:07:44.170 --> 00:07:47.170 It is permissible to mention him regarding what he does openly, 00:07:47.170 --> 00:07:50.170 But it is forbidden to mention him regarding other faults, 00:07:50.170 --> 00:07:55.170 Unless there is another reason for its permissibility among those we mentioned. 00:07:58.579 --> 00:08:01.579 If a person is known by a title, 00:08:01.579 --> 00:08:04.579 Such as "the bleary-eyed," "the lame," "the deaf," 00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:07.579 "The blind," "the cross-eyed," and others, 00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:09.579 It is permissible to identify them by that. 00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:13.579 But it is forbidden to use it to belittle them. 00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:18.579 If it were possible to identify them by other means, that would be better. 00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:22.779 These are six reasons mentioned by the scholars, 00:08:22.779 --> 00:08:24.779 And most of them are agreed upon. 00:08:24.779 --> 00:08:29.779 Their proofs are from the famous, authentic hadiths. 00:08:29.970 --> 00:08:31.970 Among them: 00:08:31.970 --> 00:08:36.250 On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 00:08:36.250 --> 00:08:41.250 That a man asked permission to see the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:08:41.250 --> 00:08:46.250 And he said: "Give him permission; he is a bad member of his tribe." 00:08:46.250 --> 00:08:48.279 Agreed upon. 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:54.500 Al-Bukhari used this as evidence for the permissibility of backbiting the people of corruption and suspicion. 00:08:56.460 --> 00:08:58.460 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:02.720 The permissibility of mentioning the people of corruption and suspicion. 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.720 That is why al-Bukhari titled a chapter: 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.460 "Chapter: What is permissible of backbiting the people of corruption and suspicion." 00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:13.460 One who openly commits sin and evil, 00:09:13.460 --> 00:09:19.460 What is mentioned about him regarding that behind his back is not considered blameworthy backbiting. 00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:26.899 The statement of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, regarding his Ummah concerning matters he names them with, 00:09:26.899 --> 00:09:28.899 And attributes to them of disliked things, 00:09:28.899 --> 00:09:30.899 Is not considered backbiting. 00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:34.450 Every person who knows of an obscenity in another, 00:09:34.450 --> 00:09:38.450 And sees that a third party will be deceived by this immoral person, 00:09:38.450 --> 00:09:44.629 Must advise him, admonish him, and warn him against him. 00:09:44.629 --> 00:09:47.629 On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, she said: 00:09:47.629 --> 00:09:51.629 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:57.629 "I do not think that so-and-so and so-and-so know anything of our religion." 00:09:57.629 --> 00:09:59.700 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:04.019 Layth ibn Sa'd, one of the narrators of this hadith, said: 00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:09.019 "These two men were among the hypocrites." 00:10:09.019 --> 00:10:11.909 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:10:11.909 --> 00:10:18.200 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not know all the hypocrites, 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.200 Because he said it based on conjecture. 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.649 A statement that some conjecture is permissible, 00:10:24.649 --> 00:10:27.649 Because it is in the context of warning, 00:10:27.649 --> 00:10:30.649 Like the situation of the two men. 00:10:30.649 --> 00:10:34.679 That is why al-Bukhari titled it in the Book of Etiquette: 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.710 "Chapter: What is permissible of conjecture." 00:10:37.710 --> 00:10:42.929 The permissibility of exposing the state of one known for hypocrisy. 00:10:42.929 --> 00:10:44.929 The forbidden conjecture 00:10:44.929 --> 00:10:52.460 Is only the evil assumption about a Muslim who is sound in his religion and honor. 00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:56.460 On the authority of Fatimah bint Qays, may Allah be pleased with her, she said: 00:10:56.460 --> 00:11:01.529 I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and said: 00:11:01.529 --> 00:11:05.529 "Abu al-Jahm and Mu'awiyah have proposed to me." 00:11:05.529 --> 00:11:09.529 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:11:09.529 --> 00:11:14.559 "As for Mu'awiyah, he is a pauper with no wealth. 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:19.659 As for Abu al-Jahm, he does not put down his staff from his shoulder." 00:11:19.659 --> 00:11:21.850 Agreed upon. 00:11:21.850 --> 00:11:23.850 In a narration by Muslim: 00:11:23.850 --> 00:11:28.850 "As for Abu al-Jahm, he is a beater of women." 00:11:28.850 --> 00:11:33.850 This is an explanation of the narration "he does not put down his staff from his shoulder." 00:11:33.850 --> 00:11:37.850 It is also said it means he travels a lot. 00:11:37.850 --> 00:11:43.769 "Pauper" means the poor. 00:11:43.769 --> 00:11:46.120 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:52.570 The permissibility of hearing the speech of a non-mahram woman and man in seeking a legal ruling and the like. 00:11:52.570 --> 00:11:55.570 The permissibility of proposing to a woman who has already received a proposal, 00:11:55.570 --> 00:11:59.080 If the first suitor has not received an answer. 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:04.080 The permissibility of mentioning the absent person with the faults he dislikes, 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:06.080 If it is for the sake of sincere advice. 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:10.080 It is not then considered forbidden backbiting, 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.080 Because whoever is consulted 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:16.080 Is obligated to speak the truth and offer sincere advice. 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.080 This is not from the category of backbiting, 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:25.529 Because he did not intend by it to mock him, satisfy his rage, or cause harm. 00:12:25.529 --> 00:12:30.529 The recommendation of guiding a person to his best interest, even if he dislikes it. 00:12:30.529 --> 00:12:33.980 Accepting the advice of people of virtue, 00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:36.980 And submitting to their guidance, 00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:40.490 For its outcome is praiseworthy. 00:12:40.490 --> 00:12:46.000 The recommendation of preferring a suitor who is wealthy for his family. 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.000 The recommendation of preferring a suitor who beats his wife little or travels little, 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:58.000 Based on the interpretation that "he does not put down his staff from his shoulder" means he travels a lot. 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.379 It is permissible for the one consulted to suggest someone other than those he was asked about, 00:13:03.379 --> 00:13:07.379 Because the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, suggested Usamah, 00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:12.379 Even though she only mentioned Abu al-Jahm and Mu'awiyah to him. 00:13:12.379 --> 00:13:17.470 On the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: 00:13:17.470 --> 00:13:25.570 We went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on a journey in which the people suffered hardship. 00:13:25.570 --> 00:13:28.570 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy said: 00:13:28.570 --> 00:13:33.570 “They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.” (63:7) 00:13:33.570 --> 00:13:34.570 And he said: 00:13:34.570 --> 00:13:40.700 “They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.” (63:8) 00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:46.789 I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and informed him of that. 00:13:46.789 --> 00:13:49.789 So he sent for 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy, 00:13:49.789 --> 00:13:52.789 And he swore his hardest oaths that he did not do it. 00:13:52.789 --> 00:13:53.789 They said, 00:13:53.789 --> 00:13:58.820 "Zayd has lied about the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him." 00:13:58.820 --> 00:14:02.820 This caused me great distress, 00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:06.820 until Allah the Exalted revealed my vindication: 00:14:06.820 --> 00:14:09.820 "When the hypocrites come to you..." 00:14:09.820 --> 00:14:14.820 Then the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, called them to seek forgiveness for them, 00:14:14.820 --> 00:14:18.019 but they turned their heads away. 00:14:18.019 --> 00:14:21.360 It is agreed upon by the scholars regarding the interpretation of this. 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.419 "They turned away" means they dispersed from him. 00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:28.419 "Distress" means severe anguish. 00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:32.419 "Turned" means they tilted their heads in aversion. 00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:36.740 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:40.740 The permissibility of overlooking the slips of the leaders of a community, 00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:43.740 so that their followers are not driven away, 00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:47.740 and limiting the response to admonishing them and accepting their excuses, 00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:49.740 and accepting their oaths, 00:14:49.740 --> 00:14:53.740 even if the circumstantial evidence points to the contrary, 00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:58.149 because of the reconciliation and harmony this fosters. 00:14:58.149 --> 00:15:02.149 The permissibility of reporting what was said about someone to that person, 00:15:02.149 --> 00:15:04.149 and it is not considered backbiting, 00:15:04.149 --> 00:15:08.789 unless the intent behind it is absolute mischief-making. 00:15:09.789 --> 00:15:11.789 He did not leave him to himself, 00:15:11.789 --> 00:15:13.789 but rather strengthened him and vindicated him, 00:15:13.789 --> 00:15:16.789 and gave him a platform. 00:15:16.789 --> 00:15:20.789 Just as Allah revealed these verses regarding the hypocrites, 00:15:20.789 --> 00:15:23.789 in vindication of Zayd Ibn Arqam, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:15:23.789 --> 00:15:27.789 and to expose the shame of the hypocrites. 00:15:27.789 --> 00:15:32.980 On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:37.980 Hind, the wife of Abu Sufyan, said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: 00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:40.980 "Abu Sufyan is a stingy man, 00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:44.980 and he does not give me enough to suffice me and my children, 00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:48.980 except for what I take from him without his knowledge." 00:15:48.980 --> 00:15:50.100 He said, 00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:54.100 "Take what suffices you and your children in a reasonable manner." 00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:56.419 It is agreed upon. 00:15:56.419 --> 00:16:01.320 Stinginess is miserliness combined with greed. 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.480 "In a reasonable manner" 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.480 means a middle course, without extravagance or parsimony. 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.629 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:16:11.629 --> 00:16:14.629 The permissibility of mentioning a person in a way they dislike, 00:16:14.629 --> 00:16:18.629 if it is for the purpose of seeking a legal ruling or similar reasons. 00:16:18.629 --> 00:16:24.049 The permissibility of hearing one of the two disputing parties in the absence of the other. 00:16:24.049 --> 00:16:29.659 The permissibility of hearing the speech of a woman regarding legal rulings and fatwas. 00:16:29.659 --> 00:16:34.200 The word of the wife is accepted regarding the receipt of maintenance. 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:39.200 Because the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not ask her for evidence. 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:44.649 The obligation of the husband's maintenance, and that it is determined by sufficiency. 00:16:44.649 --> 00:16:49.029 The obligation of the husband to provide maintenance for the woman's children. 00:16:49.029 --> 00:16:52.419 The permissibility of issuing a judgment against an absent party. 00:16:52.419 --> 00:16:58.860 The permissibility for a woman to look after her children, provide for them, and spend on them. 00:16:58.860 --> 00:17:05.380 The application of custom in matters where the Shari'ah has not set a specific limit. 00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:07.920 If a man does not provide maintenance, 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:16.500 the woman has the right to take from her husband's wealth without his permission what suffices her and her dependents. 00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:20.500 The permissibility of a wife leaving her husband's house for a necessity, 00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:24.500 if he has given her permission or she knows he is pleased with it. 00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:29.619 Riyad al-Salihin.
