0:44
“And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will arouse desires in them, and surely I will command them and they will cut the cattle' ears, and surely I will command them and they will change Allah's creation.

0:56
On the authority of Asma', may Allah be pleased with her
1:00
That a woman asked the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him
1:04
She said, "O Messenger of Allah,
1:07
My daughter was afflicted with measles,
1:10
Which caused her hair to fall out,
1:13
And I have married her off;
1:15
May I add hair extensions to it?"
1:17
He replied, "Allah has cursed the woman who adds hair extensions and the one who has them added."
1:22
Agreed upon
1:26
In another narration: "The woman who adds hair extensions and the one who requests them."
1:30
Her statement "tamarraqa" means it became sparse,
1:33
Meaning it scattered and fell out.
1:36
The "wasilah" (the one who adds hair) is she who adds her own hair,
1:41
Or the hair of another, to her own hair.
1:44
The "mawsulah" (the one who has it added) is she whose hair is added to.
1:49

From the benefits of the hadith:
2:10
The explicit prohibition of hair extensions.
2:13
This includes what is known as a wig.
2:16
The permissibility of cursing those who do this.
2:20
Hair extensions are among the major sins because they invite a curse.
2:26
One who assists in a forbidden act shares in the sin with the doer,
2:31
Just as one who assists in an act of obedience shares in its reward.
2:36
Hair extensions are forbidden,
2:38
Whether for an excuse, a wedding, or otherwise.
2:42
On the authority of Humayd ibn 'Abd al-Rahman,
2:46
That he heard Mu'awiyah, may Allah be pleased with him, in the year he performed Hajj,
2:50
While on the pulpit,
2:52
Taking a lock of hair that was in the hand of a guard,
2:57
And saying,
2:58
"O people of Madinah,
3:00
Where are your scholars?
3:02
I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
3:05
Forbid the likes of this,
3:08
And say,
3:09
'The Children of Israel were only destroyed
3:12
When their women adopted these things.'"
3:15
Agreed upon

3:20
Meaning a strand of hair.
3:23
A guard
3:24
Meaning the prince's servant,
3:26
Like a policeman.
3:28
From the benefits of the hadith:
3:31
The purity of human hair,
3:34
Because there was no inquiry [about its source].
3:36
The permissibility of keeping hair,
3:38
And that it is not obligatory to bury it.
3:40
The leader's duty to forbid evil from the pulpit,
3:44
Especially if he sees it becoming widespread,
3:47
So he makes his disapproval public,
3:49
To emphasize that people should beware of it.
3:52
Warning those who commit a sin
3:54
By citing the destruction of those who did it before them
3:57
From the previous nations.
3:59
The permissibility of holding an object during a sermon
4:03
So that those who did not see it may see it,
4:05
For a religious benefit.
4:08
The permissibility of speaking about the Children of Israel,
4:11
And likewise other nations,
4:13
To warn against what they fell into.
4:16
The concern of the Caliphs,
4:19
And all those in authority,
4:21
To denounce evil and remove it,
4:24
And to rebuke those who neglect to denounce it
4:26
When it is incumbent upon them to do so.
4:29
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both,
4:34
That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
4:37
Cursed the woman who adds hair extensions and the one who requests them,
4:40
And the woman who tattoos and the one who requests it.
4:43
Agreed upon
4:45
From the benefits of the hadith:
4:49
The prohibition of hair extensions and tattooing.
4:52
The prohibition of doing this,
4:55
Or having it done to another person.
4:58
On the authority of Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
5:03
"Allah has cursed the women who tattoo,
5:06
And those who have tattoos done,
5:09
And those who pluck their eyebrows,
5:11
And those who file their teeth for beauty,
5:14
Changing the creation of Allah."
5:17
A woman questioned him about this,
5:20
And he replied, "Why should I not curse
5:23
Those whom the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, cursed?
5:27
And it is in the Book of Allah."
5:30
Allah the Almighty said:
5:32
“That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.” (59:7)
5:35
“That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.” (59:7)
5:38
Agreed upon
5:41
The "mutafallijah"
5:44
Is she who files her teeth
5:47
So that there is a slight gap between them,
5:50
To make them look beautiful,
5:52
Which is the "washr" (filing).
5:54
The "namisah"
5:56
Is she who removes hair from the eyebrows of another,
5:59
Thinning them so they become beautiful.
6:02
The "mutanammisah"
6:04
Is she who orders someone to do that to her.
6:07
The "washimah" (tattooer)
6:09
Is one who pricks the skin of a woman with a needle or similar,
6:13
Until blood flows,
6:15
Then fills that spot with kohl so it turns green.
6:19
"Nams"
6:21
Is the removal and plucking of hair from the body.
6:24
It is not restricted to the eyebrows and face.
6:27
From the benefits of the hadith:
6:31
The prohibition of tattooing, plucking hair, and filing teeth for both the doer and the recipient.
6:38
The prohibition of changing the creation of Allah the Almighty,
6:41
Because it is forgery and deception.
6:44
The permissibility of cursing those whom Allah and His Messenger have cursed.
6:49
The authority of the Sunnah is established by the Qur'an,
6:53
Which is why Ibn Mas'ud used the words of Allah the Almighty to prove its authority.
6:58
Chapter: The Prohibition of Plucking Gray Hair from the Beard, Head, and Elsewhere
7:03
And the plucking of hair by a beardless youth when it first begins to grow.
7:11
On the authority of 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, may Allah be pleased with him,
7:16
From the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said:
7:22
"Do not pluck gray hair,
7:24
For plucking gray hair [is forbidden]."
7:28
Narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi.
7:32
From the benefits of the hadith:
7:35
The prohibition of plucking gray hair.
7:39
Gray hair is a light and radiance for the believer in the Hereafter,
7:44
And a source of dignity and reverence in this world.
7:48
Plucking gray hair is a form of deception and forgery.
7:53
[Repetition: Plucking gray hair is a form of deception and forgery.]
7:58
Gray hair is a warner to a person,
8:01
As it is a sign of long life and old age.
8:05
When a servant sees it, he remembers the Hereafter,
8:09
Desists from sins, and prepares to meet Allah.
8:14
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:
8:20
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
8:25
"Whoever performs an act that is not in accordance with our matter, it will be rejected."
8:30
Narrated by Muslim.
8:35
Chapter: The Dislike of Cleaning Oneself with the Right Hand
8:38
And touching the private parts with the right hand without an excuse.
8:42
On the authority of Abu Qatadah, may Allah be pleased with him,
8:47
From the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said:
8:51
"When one of you urinates,
8:53
He must not hold his private part with his right hand,
8:57
Nor clean himself with his right hand,
9:00
Nor breathe into the vessel."
9:03
Agreed upon.
9:05
There are many authentic hadiths on this subject.
9:11
From the benefits of the hadith:
9:13
The prohibition of cleaning oneself and holding the private part with the right hand.
9:17
The prohibition of breathing inside a vessel.
9:22
Islam is a religion of cleanliness,
9:24
And it has been keen to avoid everything filthy.
9:28
Therefore, it has reserved the right hand for honorable matters,
9:32
Such as eating, drinking, and shaking hands,
9:35
And assigned the left for everything else.
9:38
Chapter: The Dislike of Walking in One Sandal
9:45
Or one shoe without an excuse.
9:48
And the dislike of putting on sandals or shoes while standing without an excuse.
9:53
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
9:57
That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
10:01
"None of you should walk in one sandal;
10:05
Let him put on both,
10:07
Or let him take off both."
10:10
In another narration:
10:12
"Or let him go barefoot in both."
10:15
Agreed upon.
10:17
"Let him put on both"
10:20
Meaning let him wear sandals on both feet.
10:24
"Let him take off both"
10:28
Meaning let him remove the sandals from both feet.
10:31
And likewise "let him go barefoot in both."
10:34
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
10:39
I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say:
10:44
"If the strap of one of your sandals breaks,
10:47
Do not walk in the other until you have repaired it."
10:51
Narrated by Muslim.
10:54
The "shis'" is one of the straps of the sandal,
10:59
The part that goes between the toes,
11:01
And its end enters the hole in the front of the sandal.
11:05
From the benefits of the hadith:
11:09
The prohibition of walking with one foot in a sandal
11:13
And the other barefoot,
11:15
Because the sandal was legislated to protect the foot from harm, thorns, and the like.
11:20
If one foot is left alone,
11:23
The walker would need to be cautious with one foot
11:27
In a way he is not with the other.
11:29
In this, there is an injustice to one of his feet,
11:32
And the possibility of harm occurring.
11:35
This may include all paired clothing,
11:39
Such as shoes,
11:40
Taking one hand out of a sleeve while leaving the other in,
11:44
And wearing a garment over one shoulder while leaving the other bare,
11:49
for the fundamental principle is to maintain balance between one's limbs,
11:52
because your body has a right over you,
11:55
so give each part its due right.
11:58
And Allah knows best.
12:00
Regarding a defect occurring in a sandal,
12:04
it is not permissible to walk in only one sandal,
12:07
rather, one should walk barefoot until it is repaired.
12:11
On the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him),
12:15
that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
12:18
forbade a man from putting on his sandals while standing.
12:22
Narrated by Abu Dawud.
12:27
"Putting on sandals"
12:28
means inserting one's foot into the sandal.
12:31
Among the benefits of the hadith:
12:35
The dislike of putting on sandals while standing,
12:38
and the recommendation to sit down when doing so.
12:42
The command in the hadith is for guidance,
12:45
because putting them on while seated is easier and more stable.
12:49
Islam’s concern for etiquette in every aspect of a Muslim's life,
12:54
so that the Muslim may appear in the best state and most beautiful form.
13:02
Chapter: The prohibition of leaving a fire burning in the house when sleeping or the like,
13:06
whether it is in a lamp or otherwise.
13:10
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both),
13:15
from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said:
13:19
"Do not leave fire in your houses when you go to sleep."
13:24
Agreed upon.
13:26
On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:
13:30
A house in Madinah burned down with its inhabitants inside during the night.
13:35
When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was told about them,
13:40
he said, "Indeed, this fire is an enemy to you,
13:45
so when you go to sleep, extinguish it."
13:48
Agreed upon.
13:50
On the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him),
13:53
from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) who said:
13:57
"Cover the vessels,
13:59
tie the waterskins,
14:01
close the doors,
14:03
and extinguish the lamps,
14:05
for the devil cannot undo a waterskin, nor open a door,
14:10
nor uncover a vessel.
14:12
If one of you finds nothing but a stick to place across his vessel while mentioning the name of Allah,
14:19
let him do so,
14:21
for the 'little wicked one' (the mouse) might set the house on fire for its inhabitants."
14:26
Narrated by Muslim.
14:29
"The little wicked one" refers to the mouse.
14:34
"Might set on fire" means it might burn it.
14:37
"Tie" means to fasten.
14:40
A "waterskin" is a leather container used for holding water.
14:45
Among the benefits of the hadiths:
14:49
In the first hadith of Ibn 'Umar,
14:51
there is a prohibition against leaving fire in houses when sleeping.
14:55
And in the second hadith of Abu Musa,
14:58
there is an explanation of the wisdom behind the prohibition,
15:00
which is the fear of fire breaking out,
15:02
because fire is an enemy to you.
15:05
And in the third hadith of Jabir,
15:09
there is an explanation of the cause of the aforementioned fear,
15:12
that the mouse might drag the wick,
15:16
and burn the inhabitants of the house.
15:18
Islam’s keenness to protect the worldly and religious interests of the servants.
15:24
The command to extinguish the fire is more general than just the fire of a lamp,
15:28
rather, it extends to anything that is burning,
15:31
because that might lead to burning or suffocation.
15:37
The recommendation to cover food containers,
15:40
and to seal water reservoirs,
15:42
to protect them from insects and dirt,
15:45
and everything that is harmful or considered impure.
15:48
The recommendation to lock the doors of houses,
15:51
as a precaution against thieves and the wicked,
15:54
and any expected danger.
15:56
Mentioning the name of Allah acts as a barrier between the devil and the doing of these things,
16:03
so whoever does not mention the name of Allah,
16:05
enables him to do them.
16:08
Riyad al-Salihin.
