0:00:04 [Music]0:00:16 [Music]0:00:31 [Music]0:00:41 Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato0:00:44 and welcome to the knowledge corner0:00:45 we're here joined with the chef and0:00:47 Hameroff man hydrogen handle mm very0:00:52 good0:00:53 well we've got some questions hem dinner0:00:55 as well some questions we need to ask0:00:56 you which I actually haven't myself I've0:00:59 just been given these questions by by0:01:02 the production team and we're gonna read0:01:04 it insha'Allah I'm gonna see what you're0:01:06 gonna say about it okay so this is0:01:07 Salaam aleykum brother / sister I would0:01:10 like to remain anonymous Jessica laughs0:01:12 Aaron I'm an 18 year old Muslim I just0:01:15 started to recently practice properly my0:01:19 religion praying five times a day etc0:01:21 and left behind life of regular sins and0:01:25 asked for forgiveness and hamdulillah0:01:26 I'm 18 years old and of course my sexual0:01:29 desires are sky-high I do not want to0:01:32 masturbate and I know III we are advised0:01:39 by the Prophet to either fast I think0:01:42 right now it's impossible for me to get0:01:46 married because of my age mainly and0:01:49 other reasons I can't fast so often0:01:51 because of reasons like college / work0:01:54 etc and it was possible but you know I'm0:01:57 getting yeah you know no I'm getting it0:02:01 you know wearing yes yeah I was0:02:04 wondering what was the ruling on0:02:06 masturbation why is it forbidden and how0:02:08 can one go about releasing the sexual0:02:11 energy especially as a young Muslim0:02:12 jalan jalan Amin sallallaahu Stella0:02:16 Mubarak or Abdullah Hassan nabina0:02:17 muhammad or either and he also they0:02:18 remain and the back the questioner he he0:02:21 mentioned a number of issues regarding0:02:22 this method of this issue and and it0:02:26 firstly0:02:26 regarded the hokum or the ruling on it0:02:28 he himself knows it as he mentioned0:02:30 everybody he said I and I quote I know0:02:32 it's Haram right all right yeah but then0:02:35 he asks I know it's Haram so he0:02:36 mentioned the ruling on it and that's0:02:38 enough for us the dope until hamdullah0:02:39 he's done my job for me essentially and0:02:42 this is of course according to the vast0:02:44 majority of of the scholars but there0:02:47 was another thing I noticed and that he0:02:50 dismissed a few remedies to this0:02:53 or to this problem that he's facing or0:02:55 the question is facing very easily and I0:02:58 believe this was unjust in a certain0:02:59 extent so very he dismissed for example0:03:02 possible remedies such as fasting oh he0:03:04 mentioned that fasting is hard due to0:03:05 college yeah the reality is that fasting0:03:08 is not hot and fasting in its nature is0:03:10 there is some kind of difficulty in it0:03:11 this is the whole purpose of see I'm a0:03:13 fasting this is a type of difficulty or0:03:15 mashallah that0:03:17 the Sharia has accommodated and done0:03:19 done active all for its accommodated to0:03:22 a certain extent so yes there is slight0:03:24 difficulty but it is something that as a0:03:26 Navy similarly who seldom mentioned0:03:28 himself it is a cure for someone who is0:03:30 unable to marry from the hadith of even0:03:32 our best motive for nearly agreed upon0:03:33 sorry Bukhari Muslim what man let me0:03:36 just stop there and whomsoever cannot0:03:37 marry verily he was so and let him fast0:03:40 in the whole of what we do because it0:03:42 will literally remove this and of course0:03:44 the scholars they forgot had either0:03:45 school explained how did they differ and0:03:47 understanding of this world would yeah0:03:48 but many of them state that it would0:03:50 literally refrain this remove the sexual0:03:54 desire and kind of problems that he this0:03:56 questioner is facing so it's not0:03:58 something that should be dismissed this0:03:59 easily in my opinion okay and yeah you0:04:02 might find it difficult at first panel0:04:03 ah but after a while you become a habit0:04:05 and known from your sharla not only0:04:07 would you find a removing this0:04:08 particular aspect but you'll find0:04:09 yourself coming closer to Allah you0:04:11 would find your next purifying you'll0:04:13 find the tuck ball in you which is why0:04:14 fast and has been legislated in the0:04:15 first place it will start to develop0:04:17 within yourself mm-hmm so this was the0:04:20 first thing I believe he dismissed quite0:04:21 easily the second thing I'm not he0:04:23 mentions orifice of your view the0:04:24 question I'm sorry he dismissed all the0:04:27 question dismiss quite easily was the0:04:29 issue of marriage and he said he cannot0:04:30 America sees oh she the question is 180:04:32 years old this is problematic span Allah0:04:35 and this to be honest it goes to an0:04:36 issue that you know it's quite deep0:04:38 rooted within our societies here in the0:04:39 West which is unfortunately marriage has0:04:41 become something difficult it's been0:04:42 made something difficult0:04:43 possibly unfeasible due to a person's0:04:45 age why Allahu Alem is it viewed as a0:04:48 person who's 18 is immature or is it0:04:51 really hasn't about the material kind of0:04:53 capabilities culture as well as0:04:56 problematic I mean these are barriers0:04:58 that we have to remove these are barren0:04:59 boundaries that we have to kind of0:05:00 overcome and make it easier for our0:05:03 suburban you know brothers and sisters a0:05:05 young brother to get married and0:05:06 if not look for facade to fill up there0:05:10 will be a lot of corruption the earthers0:05:11 only be some lower I'm still a mentioned0:05:13 hadith so can you make sure something0:05:16 about did you had a mess and I'm0:05:17 struggling it was self because nowadays0:05:20 I think there's a cultural problem you0:05:24 could say off because the thing is like0:05:27 even even in the academic works I'm not0:05:29 reading a book called civilization its0:05:31 discontents my Freud very famous Sigmund0:05:34 Freud Sigmund Freud he wrote book0:05:36 discontent what he was arguing in the0:05:38 book was that basically the society has0:05:40 put so much pressure on us and allow a0:05:44 is forced us to regulate our lives not0:05:46 in not in line with what is natural to0:05:51 us as human beings so again that can be0:05:53 debated upon what is natural to us0:05:55 attain this what's the mechanism0:05:56 employed so the point is like a lot in0:05:58 liberal societies now what's being said0:06:00 to us is first one doesn't mean we're0:06:02 talking about the Fed suppose one0:06:03 doesn't yeah liberal society has now0:06:04 we've been told that you know just0:06:05 experiment of yourself do this there0:06:07 shouldn't be a taboo topic why are you0:06:09 making it difficult it comes back to the0:06:11 issue of ethics and morality yeah how0:06:13 does one ascertain what's his his anchor0:06:15 is it from a theist or atheistic about0:06:18 what I'm trying to say here you0:06:19 absolutely right with what that point is0:06:20 that you know under learn Islam or uncas0:06:24 quite a lot also yeah0:06:25 Allah so there's gonna be some blossoms0:06:26 in this in a liberal society you know0:06:28 yeah and a socially liberal Society it0:06:31 becomes more increasingly difficult for0:06:32 people young people to abide by Islamic0:06:35 principles when they've been taught0:06:36 everywhere yeah we should be doing this0:06:38 you just do it huh my perspective just0:06:41 do it0:06:41 you know why are you talking about too0:06:43 much by thinking about it just do it so0:06:45 how would you address this kind of this0:06:50 is you know it's it's a very it's a big0:06:52 question it's a big issue and it needs a0:06:54 complete a multi-faceted approach and a0:06:57 completely holistic approach from0:06:59 academics and an eminent scholar from in0:07:02 experts among in different disciplines0:07:04 to kind of address it really and it's0:07:05 beyond the scope of this of this but I0:07:08 think one of the most important things0:07:10 in my opinion and of course this is0:07:12 relative is to have you know you'd be0:07:15 proud to mostly do not shy away from0:07:19 your faith0:07:19 be proud that allah subhanallah al has0:07:21 made you a Muslim we've had a logic0:07:23 Allah has made it slimmer and ho tied to0:07:26 your religion and understand that which0:07:28 is pleasing to Allah understand your0:07:29 purpose once you understand that a Lost0:07:32 Planet Allah says well Michael told you0:07:33 no and certainly a boon I haven't0:07:35 created managing except to worship me0:07:36 everything in this dunya fades away0:07:39 because you know your only purpose has0:07:41 to please Allah panel to add what is it0:07:43 about what is it brother Mohammed I'm0:07:46 asking you what is worship what is0:07:48 worship it's doing Montana come on did0:07:51 you do in abstaining from that what she0:07:52 told you0:07:53 submission it's as real Islam until I0:07:57 need to find it it's literally anything0:07:59 that Allah is pleased with where their0:08:01 speeches actually anything that is a0:08:03 pleasure for Allah externally internally0:08:05 it is all pleasing to a lot it is all a0:08:08 bad it's like what is interesting0:08:10 ironing because nietzsche himself he0:08:12 said when there's a why almost any house0:08:14 possible we have a purpose0:08:18 i mean any of those things any of those0:08:21 obstacles what do they be internal or0:08:24 external they're all very possible and0:08:26 also like i think there's another0:08:28 there's another kind of attack which i0:08:30 want to mention to you as well which is0:08:31 in the popular discourse especially in0:08:32 feminist works by the way okay and it's0:08:34 to do with how religious people talking0:08:37 roughly lost fifty sixty yeah you know0:08:39 the second word feminism is the highest0:08:40 to have religious people conceptualize0:08:42 masturbation but many people have0:08:43 written books about this okay and just0:08:45 to be very very clear you're saying the0:08:48 ruling is the ruling for men and women0:08:49 absolutely so there's no differentiation0:08:51 i mean the principle in the Sharia is a0:08:54 you know a literary or you know address0:08:57 is both general two main and female0:08:59 unless there's an evidence that0:09:00 stipulates the opposite so anything0:09:02 addressed in the Sharia in the textual0:09:04 evidence is applies to both minimum0:09:05 unless it is clear there's evidence to0:09:08 to remove them right because one of them0:09:10 one of the attacks levied against the0:09:13 Muslims or let's say religious people is0:09:15 that we're trying to repress suppress0:09:18 women sexual a woman's sexuality and and0:09:22 ethics or at the expense of you know0:09:26 bolstering the man's sexuality its panel0:09:29 you see so what you're saying is this is0:09:31 a general rule for0:09:32 there is no restriction on this panel0:09:34 and this is this is both a luminosity0:09:35 arsalan it what you said in the0:09:37 beginning was that there was some kind0:09:38 of difference well I said the vast0:09:42 majority of the of the Faja nearly all0:09:45 of them say that it is Haram you'll find0:09:49 some of the hanafis stay that it is0:09:51 quran disliked but the hannah Fiorella0:09:53 man themselves have interpreted this0:09:54 kuraha do this disliked to be kuraha to0:09:57 premiere it is disliked but in the Haram0:10:00 cent meaning it is haram to do it how to0:10:02 do it and this is to do without hard0:10:04 without a need to do it ok I need to do0:10:07 it one concave those in need those0:10:08 precisely so I mean what many of the0:10:10 scholars mentioned is is first not every0:10:12 Hodja let's we're going to a bit too0:10:14 shitty yes so this is the interest in0:10:23 principle that that which is disliked or0:10:25 sorry the Hodja - I need it it allows it0:10:28 makes things that it removes cut off or0:10:30 something that is disliked in a close it0:10:32 down to that which is mobile which is0:10:34 permissible okay and we were delving0:10:36 slightly into a bit of Maha siddhis0:10:37 Sharia and the high objective and end of0:10:39 the of the Sharia and many of the Mikasa0:10:41 do those on a mouth Mikasa they state0:10:43 that the Sharia has three distinct0:10:47 levels m1 which is the little rod0:10:49 absolutely needs and necessities a0:10:51 person life or you know literally0:10:53 depends on this issue and then we have0:10:55 higher art needs which are slightly less0:10:56 than this and this is something a person0:10:58 needs in everyday life and after this we0:11:00 have issue that are from the tech scene0:11:01 yet or things that a person needs for0:11:03 said type of food he likes a low type of0:11:05 cream from so why did we mention this0:11:09 form because this would generally apply0:11:11 here if the hand if he said and we going0:11:13 into the method slowly if they0:11:15 understood it as McCraw kuraha tindy0:11:18 here now the hanafis have a way of0:11:21 understanding kuraha or something that0:11:22 is disliked in two ways one is that this0:11:25 car has in fact something Haram and the0:11:27 other is that this car is something that0:11:30 is macro literally disliked0:11:32 which is not Haram there is no sin but0:11:35 you get rewarded if you leave it0:11:36 according to the  __  AHA generally this0:11:38 is the  __  understanding of it all0:11:40 the freaky understanding so we must0:11:42 ascertain this now we're going to0:11:43 another issue which is commonly asked0:11:44 about this and0:11:45 is if someone and this is something to0:11:47  __  himself the scholars are filter0:11:48 spoken about if a person fears that0:11:50 you'll fall into dinner if he fails0:11:52 you'll fall into dinner ok so give us a0:11:54 scenario sorry to be explicit about I0:11:56 think it's clear if a person fears that0:11:58 he's going to phone to dinner for0:12:00 example he's got someone on his phone0:12:01 and he likes no and she's or he is0:12:05 interacting with that person so much and0:12:07 they might be feeling ok well I might0:12:10 before any do you know she might so here0:12:12 okay so I believe in Allah doing on his0:12:14 best that here there's a fear yeah okay0:12:16 but it's not as if he's actually going0:12:18 to go and commit this you know he's0:12:19 going to put on his shoes for exampleif0:12:21 to go and etc etc so here this a fit and0:12:25 it's a fear that is October meaning it's0:12:27 a realistic fear it's not why me it's0:12:29 not just make it up in his head0:12:30 seriously okay so there's actually0:12:32 legitimate fear0:12:33 now it's interested to know that yes0:12:36 many of the  __  have stood here that0:12:39 it is permissible for him to do this if0:12:43 he feels if he fears and this is a0:12:45 actual fear however some of the Maliki0:12:48 and in fact even some of the Hannibal0:12:50 and others have said that in fact it is0:12:52 still haram on him it is still held up0:12:54 if he doesn't he's still sinful under0:12:56 this can ask a question what we say that0:12:59 the person is about to leave the house0:13:00 you know he might be leaving the house0:13:03 with I'm thinking here there's two is0:13:06 two things I think has a hell of a fun0:13:08 no so he's most likely gonna do a [ __ ]0:13:10 here oh he has a keen obviously we say0:13:12 you're clean is like he's certain that0:13:13 he's gonna do it then then you can as0:13:15 the lesser of two evils0:13:16 we agreed that that's the best thing to0:13:18 do yeah absolutely absolutely not about0:13:20 that alone so he's going out now but he0:13:24 doesn't know for sure but let's say 60%0:13:26 he has there's a chance of him doing it0:13:28 if there's no other way to free himself0:13:29 from this action yeah except through0:13:31 this yeah then it should be done why0:13:34 half a battery just acaba thoroughly0:13:37 should be done which is what taking the0:13:39 lesser of two evils but very not very0:13:41 might bear in mind I'm a takea0:13:43 many of them will still firm on their0:13:45 principles that is person is still0:13:46 committing out this harm and he has to0:13:48 do toll before this and if that person0:13:50 if that person is doing this now0:13:52 obviously what you're not saying is that0:13:54 they simulate himself or stimulate0:13:56 themselves or pornography or anything0:13:57 like that that's another issue which0:13:59 another so you're saying that they do a0:14:01 mess in off the ice now he's committed a0:14:03 solo laughs if this is the case and it's0:14:05 done Zinn of multiple things rather than0:14:07 know right and to be fair I've actually0:14:10 I was reading some things uh sharing the0:14:12 best I think you wrote all obviously he0:14:16 sees this as Hara right now but what he0:14:19 said was quite interesting he said0:14:20 because a higher for instance he said0:14:22 for medical reasons no you see this is0:14:25 it isn't specific to this issue this is0:14:28 why because members understood the0:14:30 sharia and totality which is that if0:14:32 there's a medical reason for anything0:14:33 there's something that is how long we0:14:34 could be kind of way to do it0:14:35 there was advocated just for a second0:14:37 here possibly even recommended possibly0:14:38 even worshipped yeah that he said for0:14:41 example if the doctor what sludge0:14:42 immobilization he said that if the0:14:43 doctors need his sperm the man's sperm0:14:46 and that for medical reasons no okay0:14:49 what if the person just once again there0:14:52 was a degree now if the person has a0:14:54 medical problem which necessitates him0:14:57 he's now he's being harmed by the fact0:15:00 that he's not releasing no naturally so0:15:02 his dialer not the same as the Hodja0:15:04 there's a high let's try limiting the0:15:07 reasoning yeah isn't the reason in the0:15:09 same so if you haven't been saying that0:15:11 for medical reasons you can give it to0:15:13 the doctor could you not argue that for0:15:16 medical reasons he can release because0:15:18 otherwise it will be in pain the problem0:15:21 is you've conflated between two0:15:22 differences not sort of thing two0:15:24 different scenarios you've said in the0:15:25 first that medical reasons medical0:15:28 reasons is it going back to himself or0:15:29 is it purely for example a research0:15:30 issue he's saying for example the doctor0:15:32 needs i sent so meaning that there is0:15:35 some kind of harm that is on him in me0:15:38 if he does not do this action harmik0:15:40 about to him yes in that case they0:15:41 didn't know the legal reasoning behind0:15:43 it is one of the same it's one in the0:15:45 same so okay so in both of these issues0:15:46 if you go to a GP GP says listen I0:15:49 recommend that you masturbate because0:15:52 actually if you don't it could have an0:15:54 impact on your health then here we go0:15:57 about the fatwa okay this requires a0:15:59 specific fatwa rather than nano to look0:16:02 beyond hookman we don't just say general0:16:04 rooting for this is a specific effects0:16:06 were this person has to go to that0:16:07 person he trusts and take knowledge from0:16:08 it isn't a something general okay I see0:16:10 what you're saying I think it's been0:16:11 quite fruitful0:16:12 to kind of end off I would say this I0:16:15 would say that in terms of the body yes0:16:18 we know as is self-flushing if you like0:16:21 medicine such as wet dream wet dream so0:16:23 if someone does have a wet dream no0:16:25 that's not something they'd be sinful0:16:27 for is it possible do something there no0:16:30 the pen has been lift on three people0:16:32 including one of them's an item had0:16:33 still the person who's sleeping until he0:16:35 wakes up anything nervous I don't want0:16:37 to be inappropriate obviously we talk0:16:39 about race topic but I do want to0:16:41 mention something that even in Western0:16:43 culture the I articles and things that0:16:46 are written that talk about lucid lucid0:16:49 dreams lucid dreams like wicked reom0:16:51 sexual dreams and some people actually0:16:55 induce like the they try and have a wet0:16:58 dream they try and have that and the way0:17:00 they do that is by not masturbating by0:17:03 not by not actually manually trying to0:17:05 get rid of interesting the point is the0:17:08 unconscious mind go back to Freudian saw0:17:11 it off with Freud0:17:11 yeah the unconscious mind has a tendency0:17:15 to flush to flush these things so it's0:17:19 not as if right if the person doesn't do0:17:22 it that there's no way of it being gone0:17:24 form an enormous panel and I think man0:17:29 is probably more potent than in this0:17:30 particular situation due to the issue of0:17:34 Shabak I should that's a Shabak which is0:17:36 a medical condition you know which0:17:39 mainly to article physical harmony a0:17:41 person cetera et cetera so that's one0:17:43 particular angle most important thing0:17:47 brothers and sisters my advices as a0:17:50 logical I said I mean took a little0:17:53 mother if you have lost panatela0:17:55 illogical it'll create an exit we have0:17:58 talked of a lot if you find it difficult0:17:59 to get married have talked of our last0:18:00 panel Tyler it will be made easy let me0:18:02 start with your home blah0:18:03 I'm also ever seeks to have a marriage0:18:05 and should remain chaste that will be0:18:07 made easy for him and this is it's a0:18:10 sooner that we've seen happen Samantha0:18:11 and one more thing which I haven't0:18:14 mentioned it is important I think this0:18:17 from my reading a lot of data on I met0:18:19 that the verse they use to make it hard0:18:22 on
