A Person Is Upon the Religion of His Companion (Toronto Q&A Session)

Shaykh Abū Khadījah

Answers to various questions including family members upon shirk, spouses who do not pray, and polygamous marriages.

[Q1]: I try my best to follow the Qurʾān and Sunnah, my family is upon Braylwiyyah (Ṣūfī grave worshipers), what is your advice, how should I deal with them?

[Q2]: What advice would you give to a sister married to a man who doesn’t pray, he doesn’t have respect for her family and she has children from him?

[Q3]: I have not been practising as I used to, I feel I’ve lost the desire to read the Qurʾān, all I do is pray and wear the jilbāb, I think of removing it sometimes, I feel sometimes like I am like I was before (in a weakened state of īmān), please advise me and sisters like me.

[Q4]: We have come across people who have come to the conference and leave, not understanding what has been said. These are those who have begun practising but the level of the lecture is not of their understanding, is it possible to simplify the lectures?

[Q5]: In our community here in Toronto continue to attend or associate with sisters at Dar al-Arqam, this centre is the place where those who sought to harm TROID gather, their speakers there work with the likes of Bilāl Philips and Saed Rageah of Abū Hurayrah Mosque. They maintain this link in the name of “sisterhood” please advise them.

[Q6]: There is a person who I know who swears quite often, what should I advise him?

[Q7]: Many sisters look at the idea of having a polygamous marriage in a negative light, they would rather be single (than polygamous), can you advise on the harm of such views?

[Q8]: Is it permissible to work at masjid of ḥizbiyyah (to clean the muṣallá)?
