[0:00][Music] so [Music] [Music] my name is foreign they ask you what

[3:21]has been made lawful to them say all things pure and wholesome

[3:26]have been made lawful to you and hunting animals that you teach

[3:33]and train to hunt teaching them the knowledge that allah has imparted

[3:39]to you you may eat what they catch for you but invoke

[3:42]the name of allah on it have fear of allah allah is

[3:50]swift in his reckoning a group of sahaba a group from the

[3:56]companions of rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam came as we've seen in the

[4:05]previous night when they would come to rasulullah and they would ask

[4:10]yes they had various questions tonight in the verse that we examine

[4:14]they ask what is lawful for us what is halal for us

[4:22]and specifically they asked about hunting dogs they told us that our

[4:30]companions our friends they have dogs that they use for hunting and

[4:35]these dogs they go and hunt animals of course animals that are

[4:41]halal to eat not an animal that is not halal and sometimes

[4:45]they kill the animal and they bring us the animal dead and

[4:50]sometimes the animal comes alive in both cases whether the animal is

[4:56]dead or alive may we eat from what is hunted by our

[5:03]hunting dogs or no so when they ask this question allah revealed

[5:08]the verse that we just recited yes they ask you what has

[5:14]been made lawful for them and the rest of the verse was

[5:24]revealed tell them that all things that are good healthy wholesome clean

[5:39]have been made halal for you anything that is beneficial to mankind

[5:44]to humans is halal and on the contrary anything that is unclean

[5:51]unpure unhealthy harmful to people's health has become haram in islam doesn't

[6:05]mean delicious because as we say in colloquial arabic or lebanese which

[6:13]meat literally means delicious in colloquial colloquial language tasty or delicious no

[6:20]that doesn't that's not what the verse is saying the verse is

[6:23]saying anything that is good anything that is beneficial anything that is

[6:28]clean anything that is good for your health allah has allowed in

[6:33]islam anything that could be damaging and harmful to your health and

[6:37]islam it is banned that's why we see things that are good

[6:44]for us fruit juices honey milk water anything that doesn't do damage

[6:49]to our bodies to our minds and our bodies is no one

[6:54]has forbidden us things that are harmful to us allah has forbidden

[6:59]us things like alcohol and foods that we will mention thus according

[7:07]to lots of scholars and this is a point that ayatollah nassar

[7:12]makarum he signifies is that there there's a correlation between nature and

[7:21]what is allah anything that is good by nature we see that

[7:28]in islamic all things that are good all things that are healthy

[7:34]things that do not damage our health have become halal anything that

[7:37]is damaging to our health allah has banned allah has banned allah

[7:44]has made whether it's a drink or a food or a meat

[7:45]or anything that is damaging to our health it's been made hence

[7:53]we see this theme in the quran allah tells us about the

[7:59]good things that have been made they're called and the things that

[8:04]are harmful that are damaging to our health that have been made

[8:06]haram are called things that are damaging malicious they damage our health

[8:46]they're not good for us this is one verse another verse tell

[9:01]them who has forbidden the good things the ornaments allah the things

[9:10]that are ornaments the things that are beautiful in life say who

[9:15]has forbidden them and the whole sum the good the clean products

[9:19]to be eaten and to be drank who has forbidden them who

[9:23]has made them who has made them now let me give you

[9:29]a couple of examples to show that islamic law correlates to nature

[9:35]anything that is good has become anything that is bad and bad

[9:41]for our health has become haram for example an animal that is

[9:47]not slaughtered in the islamic tradition this is called me to any

[9:52]animal that is not slaughtered in islamic tradition it is haram one

[9:57]of the reasons is if you compare halal food an animal that

[10:02]is slaughtered according to islamic tradition and an animal that is not

[10:07]slaughtered according to to the islamic tradition which is which is healthier

[10:11]food why because an animal that is slaughtered according to islamic tradition

[10:17]the blood leaves the body all of the blood leaves the body

[10:23]as the animal is slaughtered the the the throat is cut all

[10:28]the blood leaves the body while the meta an animal that has

[10:31]not been slaughtered according to the islamic tradition all the ba all

[10:33]the blood remains in the system in the body so you're essentially

[10:39]eating meat with blood in it and that is very harmful to

[10:44]our health two ma'aq this is mentioned in the quran an animal

[10:50]that is that that is leftovers of a predator that is haram

[10:57]to eat a lion a wolf a hyena or whatever that eats

[10:59]an animal it is haram to eat that sort of meat why

[11:04]because that could also carry viruses it could carry bacteria that could

[11:10]be damaging to one's health pork lachimal no two people would disagree

[11:20]that it is unhealthy the amount of cholesterol that it causes the

[11:25]amount of damage that it could cause to our health is one

[11:33]of those animals that is forbidden to eat an animal that eats

[11:38]human feces is haram to eat even if it's a chicken or

[11:41]a cow or a sheep but if it eats human feces we're

[11:44]not allowed to eat it until its system has been cleaned so

[11:51]you see allah azzawajal bans things that are bad for us that

[11:58]are bad for our health that are not good for us the

[12:01]things that are good for us that are healthy that are clean

[12:03]that are pure allah has not forbidden he has not he has

[12:09]not forbidden anything that is good according to common people what most

[12:32]people consider is good it's become halal in islam it hasn't been

[12:38]forbidden but according to common people this is what says let me

[12:47]give you an example there are some countries in the world they

[12:51]eat lizards they eat insects they eat snails they eat snakes but

[12:59]if you ask common people is this part of or is this

[13:04]something good or bad what would they tell you this is something

[13:08]bad who wants to eat snails frogs maybe snakes insects this is

[13:17]part of khaba it doesn't take a genius to figure it out

[13:21]allah has put in our system the different the the ability to

[13:29]differentiate between what is good for us and what is not good

[13:32]for us amongst common people the majority of people here and i'd

[13:48]like i'd like the brothers and sisters to concentrate with me for

[13:51]for a couple of minutes here in we have allah we have

[13:57]an important law a very important law especially we the shia we

[14:05]follow we have allah called what does that mean it means that

[14:13]laws in islam depend on the innate goodness and badness so to

[14:21]speak if i can say that or evil of certain acts laws

[14:28]in islam depend on the innate goodness of an act if an

[14:34]act is innately good inherently good it's either halal or sometimes it's

[14:42]even waja mandatory and if an act is inherently bad or evil

[14:46]it is forbidden in islam it either becomes haram or makru hence

[14:52]allah azzawajal before making something gwajib or before making something haram that

[14:59]thing is either go innately good or it is innately bad let

[15:05]me give you an example helping orphans helping orphans even if islam

[15:13]did not tell us to help orphans is helping orphans innately good

[15:16]or is it innately bad definitely good it's innately good hence islam

[15:22]comes and says give to the poor because helping the poor it's

[15:28]good for the community it's good for the society we believe that

[15:33]all of the laws of islam when allah says this is wajib

[15:38]there's an interest behind that there's a good in it there's a

[15:43]good in it for the people when allah says this is haram

[15:45]he's not saying haram just to limit our freedom no because what

[15:50]he says is haram actually has something bad it has damage it

[15:55]can be hurtful it could be harmful on a personal level or

[16:00]on a community level or on a family level so when islam

[16:06]tells us that some types of food or halal we can know

[16:10]that that type of food is good for us not just because

[16:12]allah decided to make a halal for us no but because it

[16:17]is good it's good for our health and allah when he tells

[16:21]us to refrain from certain foods or from certain drinks because they

[16:25]are bad because they are bad either on a personal level or

[16:29]on a community scale because they are bad like here there's also

[16:35]another debate between ashari's who are a theological school of thought in

[16:43]islam they're a very important theological sort of school of thought in

[16:47]islam most sunnis our sunni brothers and sisters are ashari's and imam

[16:52]is on the other hand what is this debate the debate is

[17:03]that can the intellect discover the goodness and evilness of acts or

[17:10]no in in spite of islam in spite of islamic laws can

[17:18]our intellect does it have the capacity to distinguish between what is

[17:23]good innately and what is bad innately or no say no we

[17:26]don't have our intellect does not have that capacity so in essence

[17:33]when islam tells us to donate money to the poor before that

[17:40]donating to the poor was not good it was not a good

[17:46]behavior but because islam told us to donate money to the poor

[17:49]it became good you see drinking alcohol before islam said anything about

[17:55]it drinking alcohol was neutral you could do it you could not

[17:58]do it doesn't make a difference but when islam came and said

[18:03]don't drink alcohol it became bad not just haram but it became

[18:09]bad while we the imam is we say no these acts they're

[18:13]innately good and they're innately bad in spite of what religion says

[18:17]drinking alcohol even if islam did not tell us that drinking is

[18:23]haram drinking was what was bad it was evil helping the poor

[18:26]even if islam did not tell us to help the poor it

[18:31]is innately good because my intellect tells me my intellect tells me

[18:34]that there are some behaviors are good innately and there are some

[18:38]behaviors that are bad innately by their nature salah now this these

[18:48]people these companions they came and asked tell us what has been

[18:56]made lawful for us you know they got it wrong they got

[18:59]it wrong why because they assumed sharia i came and banned everything

[19:05]and then some things were made lawful you see but it's the

[19:10]opposite that is true and islam and sharia everything is made lawful

[19:15]the unlawful is limited not the other way around and there are

[19:20]some people till today they assume that islam has banned everything what

[19:23]is halal and what is lawful is limited you have to come

[19:28]and ask is this halal is that is this no it's the

[19:32]other way around everything is halal those items those acts those products

[19:39]that are haram they're limited so their question was a mistake to

[19:47]ask they asked what has been made lawful for us that was

[19:54]a mistake they should have asked what has been made unlawful for

[19:57]us because by default in islam everything is lawful you see this

[20:02]is a this makes a world of a difference to say that

[20:07]everything is unlawful and some things have been made lawful or to

[20:10]say that everything is lawful and some of some things have been

[20:13]made unlawful but you might ask me but say it i feel

[20:17]like i'm in america everything is unlawful and the things that are

[20:21]lawful are numbered well that's because we don't live in an islamic

[20:26]country that's because the meat that we have to buy is i

[20:31]have to make sure that it's slaughtered in islamic way the drinks

[20:33]that we buy it's because of the environment go to lebanon go

[20:38]to iraq go to iran go to our countries you will see

[20:42]it's the opposite everything is lawful try to find haram food in

[20:46]arak for example you won't trying to find pork in arak for

[20:49]example you won't or wine or alcohol so you will see that

[20:54]it's the opposite that it's true everything is lawful the unlawful is

[20:59]numbered they ask you what has been made lawful for them say

[21:12]that everything that is good and wholesome and clean has been made

[21:17]lawful for you what is the first saying and hunting animals that

[21:26]you teach and train to hunt if you have a hunting dog

[21:31]and you go hunting and you've trained the dog to hunt and

[21:37]you say bismillah of course there's conditions that we will talk about

[21:43]there's conditions and the dog hunts for you a deer for example

[21:46]that is also halal that is also permissible it is permissible to

[21:53]hunt by the use of hunting dogs a the verse is talking

[22:01]about animals but what but why are they called joara this is

[22:04]a linguistic point joara comes from jaraha and jaraja has two meanings

[22:12]in the arabic language one meaning is to injure that's why we

[22:17]say to injure so comes from injury or it means to make

[22:25]to gain to gain and both meanings have been used in the

[22:30]quran and in the arabic language how we know this is popular

[22:37]in our colloquial language to mean injury this is very popular but

[22:41]jalaha to mean what we've gained what we make this has been

[22:49]mentioned in the quran for example he is the one that makes

[23:00]you die at night this is another story this would require another

[23:03]lecture yet because we believe that sleep is a minor death rash

[23:10]says you will die the same way that you sleep but death

[23:19]is a major sleep sleep is a minor death and he knows

[23:25]what you've made and what you've done during the day so he

[23:28]uses the word and another verse those who do bad deeds those

[23:37]who gain bad deeds again and we read in dual command strengthen

[23:48]my body parts jawar our hands are called jawar why because we

[23:55]either can injure others with our hands or we make we gain

[23:59]we gain with our hands with our body parts outer organs hands

[24:20]is our inner our inner not the the real error no our

[24:26]desire our ambition our self-control that is called johanna here there's a

[24:37]debate amongst sunni and sheikh scholars share scholars say that we can

[24:41]hunt using dogs we can hunt animals and it would be halal

[24:47]if we use dogs sunni scholars say no why only dogs we

[24:50]could use other animals for example you could use eagles you could

[24:55]use wolves if you train them how to hunt you may use

[24:57]them our scholars say no comes from the verb caleb means to

[25:17]attack and hence a dog is called kelp because he attacks right

[25:25]so we say that it's only dogs that can hunt for us

[25:29]they say no any animal that attacks it could be a dog

[25:33]it could be an eagle it could be a wolf for example

[25:40]you teach them from what allah has imparted to you this has

[25:48]several stops that we have to stop at number one these hunting

[25:51]animals these hunting dogs have to be trained to so you can't

[25:56]let an animal you buy a dog and you sent them no

[25:59]it has to be a trained dog that knows how to hunt

[26:03]and you see this verb it's talking about present tense it's not

[26:08]a past tense doesn't means that it's continuous when you speak in

[26:27]present tense means it's continuous so you continuously teach the dog train

[26:33]them two you have to train them properly because not all dogs

[26:39]know how to hunt to hunt an animal this requires proper training

[26:44]three subhanallah the verse says you train them and you teach them

[26:53]from what allah has taught you allah is telling us that don't

[26:58]be arrogant even if it's as simple the knowledge of teaching a

[27:02]dog this is from allah don't forget who you are don't think

[27:05]that if you've become a professor or a doctor all of a

[27:10]sudden you're the most knowledgeable person on earth on earth even when

[27:12]you train a dog to hunt which is something very simple that

[27:18]knowledge is from allah of course the hunting dog has to be

[27:29]disciplined and taught to the point that when he tells them to

[27:32]go he goes when he tells them to stop he stops and

[27:36]also if the animal catches his prey and is dead if the

[27:46]animal is not dead you may slaughter the animal and it will

[27:49]be the verse says so e from that which these dogs have

[27:58]caught for you what does that mean that means they haven't caught

[28:03]for themselves if the animal the hunting animal catches for himself you

[28:08]cannot eat because that becomes part of what a the leftovers of

[28:13]a predator and that is haram in surat no if the animal

[28:19]catches for you then you may eat them and remember to mention

[28:28]allah's name when sending that animal what to two points and we

[28:43]will conclude number one are dogs or not nadis because this is

[28:49]a question this is a popular question now that are dogs or

[28:53]not and why are they images why can't they be pure what's

[29:00]islam's problem with with dogs number one dogs aren't just my dear

[29:04]friends and this is according to the vast majority of scholars ninety-nine

[29:09]percent of ulama believe that dogs are negative some there's a new

[29:16]opinion there's a new opinion that says dogs are they're pure and

[29:20]they support their argument with this verse the verse that i just

[29:24]recited which they hunt for you where they hunt for you the

[29:32]verse doesn't say wash it doesn't say purify where they caught the

[29:36]animal so that means the saliva of a dog isla and if

[29:43]the saliva is that means the dog itself is also but this

[29:48]is incorrect this evaluation of the verse is incorrect the verse doesn't

[29:51]talk about purity and najasa it has nothing to do with tahara

[29:55]and jason the verse simply allows us to eat an animal that

[30:01]has been caught by a hunting dog do you have to slaughter

[30:03]the animal or can you catch up with a hunting dog no

[30:07]you may catch it with the hunting dog now is it the

[30:10]verse has nothing to do with that we have to refer it

[30:15]to hadith and some people forget that we have a hadith that

[30:18]teach us that show us and we have plenty of hadith from

[30:23]bait that tell us that dogs are nudges for example we have

[30:31]in sahih bakbak a dog meaning there's no question about it that

[30:39]a dog is in another hadith touches the body or clothing of

[30:55]a man of an individual he says he has to wash his

[30:57]clothing and another hadith the imam was asked apparently people would insist

[31:05]is it as a dog the imam said again he kept on

[31:12]saying that it is another question this is the first point that

[31:16]i wanted to to point out that dogs and edges dogs are

[31:21]nudges if they're wet or your hands are wet and you touch

[31:24]them you become nudges this leads me to the second point and

[31:26]this is also a very popular question that we receive all the

[31:31]time can we have pet dogs my son my daughter a lot

[31:36]of people ask my son my daughter they want to buy a

[31:38]dog you want to bring the dog home are we allowed are

[31:42]we not allowed i saw a dog that thought the dog was

[31:46]so cute it was irresistible i'm sure the dog was very cute

[31:49]and it was very lovely but having a dog at home this

[31:55]is another issue see my dear friends it's not haram it's not

[32:00]haram to have a bad dunk you can't have a pet dog

[32:03]but it is highly makru it is highly discouraged we have a

[32:07]hadith that say angels do not come into a house where there's

[32:14]theirs says told rasulullah that we angels do not enter a house

[32:32]where there's two things one there's a dog and two there's a

[32:35]statue there's a statue of a human being these two things if

[32:42]there's if they're in a house we don't enter that house so

[32:47]number one angels will not be coming into your house and that

[32:54]is enough for us not to have dogs in our homes you

[32:56]may have it outside in the garden in your backyard in your

[33:01]front yard whatever you may but to bring it inside the house

[33:04]this is highly macro this is highly discouraged and angels will not

[33:09]come in so this is one why maybe for health reasons allah

[33:17]knows best remember remember that islam goes with nature what is good

[33:29]naturally islam allows what is bad naturally islam disallows maybe for hygiene

[33:34]purposes maybe this dog brings us diseases viruses bacteria it affects our

[33:41]health it affects our children islam discourages us from having a dog

[33:48]come in our house islam doesn't have a problem with dogs dogs

[33:53]are mentioned favorably in the quran the people of alike there was

[33:58]a dog with them and this dog is mentioned in the quran

[34:03]they will say there were three and their fourth was a dog

[34:07]the fourth of them was a dog subhanallah they were count the

[34:13]dog was counted as one of them as part of them and

[34:25]you remain with them so loyal and there are some parts where

[34:31]the quran praises a dog islam does doesn't have any a problem

[34:35]with with dogs but the issue is that it is you know

[34:41]some dogs are very smart they could be very loyal some dogs

[34:46]are more loyal than human beings some humans have to learn loyalty

[34:50]from dogs but still islam discourages us why i could name a

[34:58]list of reasons but let me end with what the snow you

[35:03]see my dear friends here in the west here in in western

[35:07]culture unfortunately dogs tend to replace humans in a household what's the

[35:15]american dream what's the american dream a beautiful house wide picketed fence

[35:20]one boy one girl and two dogs that's american dream that's what

[35:28]they talk about one boy one girl and two dogs it's as

[35:34]if dogs can replace human beings they could replace children while nothing

[35:40]can replace children my dear friends nothing pets cannot replace human beings

[35:44]pets cannot replace our children what's beautiful about life is money and

[35:55]our children our children a pet dog cannot replace and i see

[35:59]this growing in america and in other countries and unfortunately this culture

[36:03]is coming to our countries as well in our countries as well

[36:10]in iraq and iran in kuwait and lebanon where they have pets

[36:15]dogs specifically less children more dogs i'm not against animals and i'm

[36:21]not against pets and i'm not against dogs and neither is islam

[36:25]but a dog cannot replace your child here in the west the

[36:29]children grow at 18 they're out of the house they move out

[36:33]they go on to university they go on to college they go

[36:36]on to work so what keeps the the parents busy at home

[36:38]as a dog or you see them they're single and they delay

[36:44]marriage because they have a dog they have someone to keep them

[36:49]company a dog can never replace human beings it can't replace parents

[36:54]nor can they replace children islam says have children has as many

[36:58]amounts as children as possible as you can as you can as

[37:04]you financially can have children nothing else can replace them so is

[37:09]it permissible to have pet dogs it's not haram no one will

[37:13]tell you it is haram but it is highly encouraged and highly

[37:17]makru and if you must if you had to don't bring them

[37:20]in the house keep them outside have a special place for the

[37:25]dog to be in the backyard or the front yard and let

[37:28]them be outside but then you have to be careful about tahara

[37:32]najasa your clothing for salah even with cats even with cats you

[37:36]have to make sure that you pray in clean clothing does not

[37:38]have hair of cats and with dogs your hands your body your

[37:43]children they don't become nudges so if you do you have to

[37:45]make sure that you take care of that and it's best it's

[38:30]ramadan
