What is Salafi SECT ? Bro.

And How was the Name of the Salaf derived from ?

They get hundreds (possibly thousands) of questions in a single week, from all different languages around the world, and then the many teams of translators have to translate all of those (possibly thousands of) questions into Arabic, and then translate his reply back into the language of each person who had sent the question, so you need to be patient.

Define extremist and "extreme".

better if you discuss this issue on ummah. I'll speak there InshaAllah. On IB posts will be deleted.

1) Their Fatwaa in that regard is based on a number of things, including women travelling around without a Mahram. It is not "extremism".

2) They say in that regard only what the Qur'aan says:

وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ أَنْ يَكْتُمْنَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ فِي أَرْحَامِهِنَّ إِنْ كُنَّ يُؤْمِنَّ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَبُعُولَتُهُنَّ أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ إِنْ أَرَادُوا إِصْلَاحًا وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

{"And divorced women shall wait (as regards their marriage) for three menstrual periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allaah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allaah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses, etc.) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect, etc.) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree over them. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise."} [Soorah al-Baqarah, 2:228]

If you read the Tafseer of this Aayah in the Tafseer of Imaam as-Suyooti, Jalaalain, he writes:

فَضِيلَة فِي الْحَقّ مِنْ وُجُوب طَاعَتهنَّ لَهُمْ لِمَا سَاقُوهُ مِنْ الْمَهْر وَالْإِنْفَاق

"(The men) have a virtue over them (i.e. the women), and thus it is obligatory for them (the wives) to obey them (the husbands) because of what they give to them of Mahr and spending upon them."

الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ فَالصَّالِحَاتُ قَانِتَاتٌ حَافِظَاتٌ لِلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللَّهُ وَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيرًا

{"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allaah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allaah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allaah is Ever Most High, Most Great."}

Again, if you check Tafseer Jalaalain regarding this Aayah, he writes:

{الرِّجَال قَوَّامُونَ} مُسَلَّطُونَ {عَلَى النِّسَاء} يُؤَدِّبُونَهُنَّ وَيَأْخُذُونَ عَلَى أَيْدِيهنَّ {بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّه بَعْضهمْ عَلَى بَعْض} أَيْ بِتَفْضِيلِهِ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْعِلْمِ وَالْعَقْل وَالْوِلَايَة وَغَيْر ذَلِكَ

"The men are the Qawwaamoon" those put in charge "over the women" they discipline them and take their hands "because of the virtue Allaah has given some of them (i.e. the men) over the other (the women)" meaning, the virtue the men have over women in terms of `Ilm, `Aql (intellect), al-Wilaayah (guardianship, and will also include leadership, being an Imaam, being a Khaleefah; all of this applied only to the men. A woman cannot become an Imaam or a Khaleefah. Also, Nubuwwah (being a Nabi) was only granted to the men. There were never any female "prophets" or messengers.) and other than that.

The text in red above is the explanation of Imaam as-Suyooti in Tafseer Jalaalain.

So again, it's not something al-Muanajjid (or Salafis) have invented, they are just saying what the Qur'aan says, and not what you have accused them of saying.

3) Again, they only say about the Jews what the Qur'aan and the Sunnah say about the Jews. I would ask you to bring me something they've said about the Jews which isn't mentioned in the Qur'aan or in the Ahaadeeth. Once you do this, we'll take it from there.

Was-Salaam.

One thing to understand first and foremost:

There is being a "Jew", the race, and then being a "Jew", the religion. Most "Jews" (race) are Jews in religion as well. When the `Ulamaa criticise the "Jews", they are referring to the followers of Judaism.

What he means is that it is a matter of history. There are historians and certain conspiracy theorists who believe that the holocaust did not take place. It is not a matter of Imaan or Kufr. If a person does deny that the holocaust took place, it does not affect his Imaan. It does not affect his Deen. It does not have an effect on whether he will go to Jannah or Jahannam. It does not make him a better Muslim or a worse Muslim.

He is saying that the Jews like to make everything about themselves; they have tortured the Palestinians for so long, in Palestine. The crimes committed by Israel is well-known. Yet, to divert the attention of people away from their own crimes they try to magnify the crimes of others. So now, if some people come along and say, "You know what, we don't accept that six million Jews really were killed." people shouldn't act as though the person has uttered Kufr. It's a "crime" for a person to deny that the holocaust took place, but what the Jews are doing to Muslims in Palestine is not a crime?

In fact, al-Munajjid is not saying that he denies the holocaust having taken place. He is trying to draw your attention towards the selfish nature that they have. Look how they will even throw a person in jail just for saying that maybe the holocaust did not take place, whereas there is no punishment for the crimes which they commit.

Allah said that 'the Jews are the strongest in enmity to the believers.' He said that the Jews 'strive to spread corruption in the land.' He said: 'They hasten into sin and aggression.' He said: 'Nor did they forbid one another the iniquities which they committed.'..These people believe that anyone who does not adhere to their religion is a filthy pig. This is written in their distorted Torah. Jews have the right to rape non-Jewish women. This is also written in their books

Again, he is speaking here about the Jews who follow Judaism, not the "race" of Jews. If a Jew is a Muslim, he is not speaking about such a person. That's not the intended meaning behind that quote. Those Aayaat and those Ahaadeeth are speaking about these Jews who follow Judaism. Those Jews who follow Judaism have always been at the forefront of attacking Islaam. They tried to kill Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم. In fact, not to forget: Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم was invited to eat at the house of a Jewish woman. He ate there, and she had poisoned the meat. Later, Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away from that. The Jews (followers of Judaism) had killed many of their Ambiyaa; this is something that the Qur'aan testifies to. The Jews mock swear Nabi `Eesaa عليه السلام, and "Jesus" as the Christians say. They insult not only him, but the Ambiyaa in general. They insult Nabi Daawood عليه السلام, "King David" to them, despite him being from their Ambiyaa which they claim to follow. Also, what he said about the hatred the Jews (followers of Judaism) have towards other people is well-known. The rest of the people, according to them, the non-Jews, are all "gentiles". If a "gentile" eats from a plate or drinks from a glass, it must be broken. It is forever impure; it cannot be cleaned. The things he mentions in that paragraph are all factual. He isn't making things up. You can do your own research on that topic (the hatred of the Jews towards other people) and you will find it to be true.

In fact, I invite you to do that.

See, you're generalizing. Not all jews are like that. Some jew support palestinian people.

Ok, so religious discrimination/bigotry/antisemitism. You act as if though that somehow makes it better to judge people based on their beliefs. Why are acting like it's ok to judge people based on their belief? Bigotry is bigotry

Why cant women drive? Is there an ayah for this?

Do you realise that you're objecting against Aayaat of the Qur'aan and Ahaadeeth of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم? The Aayah of the Qur'aan (which you'll find at the end of the 6th Juz/Para of the Qur'aan) describes the Jews as "Ashaddannaasi `Adaawatan lilladheena Aamanoo" (The most severe of all mankind in enmity towards those who have Imaan). Other Aayaat of the Qur'aan condemn the Jews for insulting their Ambiyaa, killing their Ambiyaa, altering the Tawraah, being cowards, wanting to live "1,000 years" (يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَة), condemning them for their claim that they'll only go to Jahannam for "a few days", etc. And then you have the Ahaadeeth, such as the Hadeeth that at the end of times, the trees and stones will call out, saying:

يَا مسلم! يا عبد الله! هذا يهودي ورائي فتعال فاقتله

"O Muslim! O Slave of Allaah! This is a Jew behind me; come and kill him."

And the Hadeeth continues:

إلا الغرقد فإنه من شجر اليهود

"Except the Gharqad tree, for it is from the trees of the Jews."

Go to the opening Soorah of the Qur'aan: Soorah al-Faatihah. When you read the Aayah: "Ghayril Maghdhoobu `Alayhim" (O Allaah, let us not be like those upon whom Your Anger befell); who is it referring to? Open all Kutub of Tafseer, and they are unanimous that the Aayah is in reference to the Jews. Again, "Jews" as in the followers of Judaism, not speaking about race.

So, if you are going to object, then come out openly and say you are objecting against Allaah Ta`aalaa, against Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and against Islaam.

literally within the last week or so i read on the forum about how the prophet pbuh could convert the whole..em.. jewish community if he had the help of 10 jewish scholars..

roughly pararphrased.

i dont know the implications of such a claim.

also the quran mainly voices that although they claim to be jews... most of them are not.

most..

again roughly paraphrased.

im literally just jumping in at a point so i dont know what bearing, if any this has on the argument.

No, this is a contemporary issue, and because of that, there is some Ikhtilaaf (differences) among the `Ulamaa concerning it. The Fatwaa given by the majority of the scholars of Saudi Arabia is that women can't drive cars. That is also the Fatwaa given by Maulana A.S. Desai (Mujlisul Ulama of South Africa). It is also the Fatwaa of a lot of other `Ulamaa around the world. The reason behind this is that they look at it from the Principles of Fiqh such as "Sadd-udh-Dharaa'i`" (Sealing the avenues leading to evil), "Saddan li-Maaddatil Fasaad" (uprooting corruption), the fact that women are not supposed to travel without a Mahram, etc. So, there are two scenarios:

1) A woman is driving alone. In this case, she is without a Mahram, so the `Ulamaa will say that this is not allowed. She needs to have a Mahram with her.

2) She is driving, but in the car is a Mahram, such as her father, or brother, or husband. In this case, again she shouldn't be the one driving; it should be one of them. In this scenario, they will look at it from the point of view of "`Urf", which is that it is against "Rujoolah" (manliness) for a man to sit back and have his wife/sister/daughter drive, when it it his duty to be driving them, not the other way around. That is like the man sitting back at home and having his wife go out and work while he instead sits at home and "looks after the children". It is against the way Allaah Ta`aalaa created the Dunyaa. It is unnatural, and a man who would do that (i.e. sit at home while his wife goes out to work) is, in terms of Sharee`ah, a "Dayyooth" (cuckold).

See the following Fataawaa:

He too didn't say every single Jew, did he? He spoke the truth: They generally are bad. You get exceptions in most things. But on the whole, they are known for those evil traits of theirs mentioned in the Qur'aan and the Ahaadeeth.
