Is Clapping Permissible?

[liongood9]

Salaam my friends
I am sorry but I think much different than you do. I think we should change our points of view, which is one of the most harmful and dangerous things we can ever do to our religion. Instead of looking for 'what is permissible in Islam', we should look for 'what is 'absolutely impermissible in Islam'. Why are we looking for boundaries in our lives, if there were not a ban in Qur'an or a strong hadith? By doing so, do not we frighten people who thinks of converting Islam? If a Christian asks me here: "why clapping is forbidden?", should i tell him: "you call the satan by doing so". Do you think that makes sense? Do you think he would then consider Islam as the most 'logical' religion?
I am against irrational cliches such as:
"Clapping is forbidden in Islam"
"Watching TV is a sin"
"Do not use your left hand while eating, it is also a sin"
"Do not drink water on foot, just sit down wherever you are"
"Do not sleep lying on your back, not appropriate in Islam"
"Do not sit under a threshold, jinns will hit you"
......... and many more

My most beloved friends
As intellectual members of Islam, can we say that: "it is forbidden because i just heard that?"

All we should know that we must be extremely aware of the fact that if something is free in Islam and if we say that it is forbidden, we might be carrying a great burden in hereafter. When that habit continues for centuries, then we will be facing with almost a completely different belief than the original one. Who will be held responsible for that? Who wants to carry that burden? Isn't that too heavy?

Salaamun Aleykum to all of you again

I suppose you know that eating with your left hand is forbidden because it is the hand in which you use to wash your private parts and that you do good things with your right hand.

wa alykum as-Salaam warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.


that might depend on your intention.. so if a woman claps her hands infront of non-mahram men, and them men turn towards her on purpose - then it is a way of attracting 'devils' because the men are turning towards the woman on purpose, and the woman is doing the act with a bad intention (to gain the mens attention.)


wa Allaahu a'lam. (and Allaah subhanahu wa ta'aala knows best.)



wa Salaam o 'alykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.

Yeah that's true...

I don't think clapping attracts that much attention especially if everyones doing it at once...i can understand if one person at the back of the crowd was clapping...then there could be a problem...sorry about late reply by the way

When i go to college i see brothers and sisters trying to gain attention by screaming or speaking loudly unnecessarily...thats haraam...isn't it? because they're are trying to gain attention from the opposite sex.

That site was very beneficial..jazakhala'khairun...
I went on to read "What is the final rule on the Hijab"

and it stated:Those who argue that niqab is fard sometimes give the impression that Surah an-Nur ayah 31 definitely commands niqab and that this was the opinion of all the scholars. This is just not true. In fact (as shown in A Study of Surah an-Nur ayah 31), the majority opinion of the scholars on Surah an-Nur ayah 31 is that it allows the display of the face and hands.

&

There are four sahih hadiths all dated after the revelation of both Surah al-Ahzab ayah 59 and Surah an-Nur ayah 31 that clearly show women in front of the Prophet (sAas) with unveiled faces and he allowed it. This must necessarily mean that Surah an-Nur ayah 31 is the final rule, since it is the ayah that allows display of the face and hands....


I always thought that covering you face is something you have to do...and not a choice...when my mum went hajj she still wore her niqaab but she wore a semi-cap to ensure the veil doesn't touch her face...

Lots of scholars differ on the idea of whether the niqab is compulsary (wajib) or mustahab (liked) or not.

The scholars have their own evidences, and therefore some may say it only applied to our beloved Prophet Muhammad sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam's wives because they were the mothers of all the believers and they could never get married again after the passing away of our beloved Prophet Muhammad sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam, therefore it was only wajib for the wives of RasoolAllaah sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam.

Whereas some may say that it is wajib upon all the believing women.


You can also check this site out insha Allaah, and if you got any more questions - i think its better you start a new thread so it doesn't go off topic.

jazak Allaah khayr.



wa Salaam o 'alykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.

 

[sapphire]

there is debate between it being farz or wajib.....womens face is not counted as her satar.....yet many scholars say for this day and age it is necessary to wear niqaab..quite of topic here........

Salaamun Aleykum again my all beloved brothers and sisters,



Let’s take clapping. Clapping in mosques or while praying really seems so weird and lack of respect. And nobody but strange people may do so in our time. Can we say that it is a sin in such circumstances? Perhaps yes, if the person who does clapping willingly disrespects Allah and the pray. Because disrespect to our Lord is a sin, as Qur’an always tells us. But how can you generalize it to your whole life? Can you be one hundred percent sure of authenticity of a hadith that makes not even a tiny reference to Qur’an’s basic principles? And clapping is for women? So tell me my dear sisters and brothers in this forum: What criteria makes women different in clapping? Can you be 100 percentsure of authenticity of a hadith which had been collected at least two hundred years after our prophet Mohammed (S.A.V.)’s death, without it making any little resemblance to what is said in the holy Qur’an? How can we be sure my friends?

You can be sure by learning the sciences of Al Quran (yes, it is a science) and the sciences of hadeeth (Al 'Ilm al Mustalaahul Hadeeth).

Both subjects are too deep to even be discussed here.

The Quranic basic principles is to obey ALlah and His messenger.

Is there any logical explanation why Allah has ordered us to make wudhu' before we make solah? And why does Allah say those steps in order (your Arabic language skills should tell you that the letter "wow" in the verses that ordained wudhu' not only serve as a conjunction but it denotes that the steps are to be done in order). Shouldn't it be logical just to clean ourselves? or just take a shower?

What is the intention of clapping? that's the main issue. After we determine the intention, we need to look at the most sharee'atic method to carry out this intention and for us , that methods come from the Quran AND the hadeeth of the prophet.

Usually, we clap to praise the individual or an event. For a muslim, all praises are only due to Allah. So, rather than clapping, we should accustom ourselves to praising ALlah first then praise the person because his talent, skills or whatever good things that he did, would not have been achieved without the Mercy of Allah.

dude I completely agree with you, I dont know why someone would go and look for a decree that forbids such a simple expression as clapping
