Witnesses for Nikah must be Muslims

maulana, agla sawal kiya hai? mister faik ne california se, unhon ne poocha hai ke "for the nikah, do the witnesses need to be muslims?" kindly comment. ji haan, do muslim. ji maulana, aik aur sawal kiya hai unhon ne. unhon ne likha hai ke "in USA, there is always a divide in Ramadan and starting of the Eid.

essentially, moon sighting becomes moon fighting. some organizations and mask follow the scientific calculations saying that it is the age of nano technology. therefore, moon visibility should be based on calculations, and some cite the actual sighting with naked eye to be the start for Ramadan or Eid, and narrate hadith in favor of this. maulana, please tell us what should be followed.

"dekhen, yeh masla to hal hone wala hai nahin. yeh to aaj se nahin, kam az kam do sau saal se is pe baatein chal rahi hain. baqi masla kya hai? woh arz karta hoon ke jarr kya hai. jarr yeh hai ke hadith mein yeh aaya hai ke "sumo liruyyatihi, wa futro liruyyatihi". to dekh kar roza rakho, dekh kar iftar karo. iftar karo, ma'ni Eid manao. dekh kar roza rakho aur dekh kar Eid manao. ab luro jo ruyyat ka lafz aa gaya na, dekh kar jo us ko literal sense mein lete hain, halanke literal sense lene ki koi wajah nahin hai.

kyun? Quran mein dekhen, doosra lafz aaya hai "shahid minkum al-shari'a". Quran majeed mein jo lafz aaya hai, woh dekhen, ruyyat ka lafz nahin aaya hai. "shahid minkum al-shari'a". shahada ke ma'ni hain pana, maujood hona. ya'ni jo aap ne apne ko Ramadan ke mahine maujood paye, ya'ni jis ke upar Ramadan ka mahina aa jaye, matlab yeh hua. shahada ka ma'ni yeh nahin ke dekha jo apni aankh se. to jab aap yeh, jab aap do mutala'a karen aur dekhen ke hadith mein to ruyyat ka lafz zaroor hai, lekin Quran mein nahin hai ruyyat ka lafz.

to aap sochen ge, sochen ge, sochen ge to aap us waqt yeh pahunchen ge ke Quran mein jo hai, woh abadi ri'ayat hai, hadith mein zamani ri'ayat hai. ya'ni is zamane mein chand ko dekhne ka ta reeqa kya tha? aankh se dekhna aur koi tareeqa tha nahin. to Quran mein abadi ri'ayat karte hue kaha gaya hai "fashahid minkum al-shari'a", lekin hadith mein zamani ri'ayat hai ke jaisa dekho, waisa karo. yeh baat isi liye is mutalliq nahin hai. aur bohat cheezen hain jis mein aap ko hadith mein aur Quran mein baatein milti hain. misaal ke taur par jang ka ma'mla

Quran majeed mein hai ke "a'iddu ma-statum min qowwah". ya'ni apne dushman ke muqable mein taqat faraham karo. taqat lafz taqat wahan par hai, a'dad quwwah. aur hadith mein aata hai ke "kulla al-quwwah". sun lo ke teer marna yeh hai quwwah. ab dekhen, yahan pe ikhtilaf hua ke nahin hua Quran ke bare mein, hadith ke bare mein. to yahan ulama ta'wil karte hain. ulama yeh kehte hain yahan par ke ke ke hadith mein jo hai, woh zamani e'tebar se hai aur Quran mein jo hai, woh abadi e'tebar se hai. to wahan agar kehte hain to yahan bhi kar lo. yahi ulama jo hain, jo itna arsa chala aaye hain, do sau

saal se, yeh ulama yeh nahin kehte ke aaj jo koi hukumat ko jang pesh aaye to woh teer chalao. idhar koi aalim nahin kehta, sab hi kehte hain ke waqt ka hathiyar istemal kiya jayega, jo quwwah hai aaj ki. to yeh tazad hai logon ke aur un ki rawish mein ke doosre ma'amlat mein woh ta'wil kar ke is ko zaban ke zamani ke mutabiq banate hain aur yahan ta'wil karne ke liye tayyar nahin hain. ya'ni Saudi Arab mein baqayda aik aik marصد bana'i, al-marصد al-islami bana'i gayi thi. marصد ma'ni observatory, is ka naam tha al-marصد al-islami, abhi bhi hai woh. lekin ulama is ko abhi bhi us waqt behas chhede hue hain ke ja'iz hai ke na-ja'iz. to main zaati taur par yeh manta hoon ke ab yeh bilkul mumkin ho gaya hai 100 fisad ke aap jaan saken ke chand nikla ke nahin nikla.

dekhen, chand nikalne ka matlab kya hai? yeh bhi samajh lijiye, chand nikalne ka matlab kya hai? chand nikalne ka matlab yeh hai ke yani woh jab suraj tuloo ho jaye, aakhri shaam ko ramzan ki aakhri shaam ko, toh us waqt chand jo hai, aath darjay ke oopar ho. aath darja jo hai, aath degree, jo yeh iski is observatory ki yeh term hai, aath degree. kyunke aath degree se agar neeche rahega, tab bhi agarche nikla hua hoga, lekin dikhai nahi dega. woh

aath degree oopar jo hai, tab dikhai dega. koi suraj ki roshni jab suraj jo yani hamare horizon se neeche le aata hai, toh toh kuch der tak uski roshni itni zyada rehti hai ke chand ho, tab bhi nahi dekh payenge hum. nahi dekh payenge hum jab jo suraj ki roshni kam hoti hai, tab hum dekh paate hain usko. toh aath degree agar se oopar agar chand hai toh dikhai dega, nahi toh nahi dikhai dega. yeh bilkul pata chal jata hai aaj kal ke zamane mein. ek dam bilkul accurate tor par jaan sakte hain aap ke usko maan lijiye. toh zahiri tor par toh mein yeh manta hoon ke usko maan lena chahiye, uski moon sighting ko moon fighting nahi banana chahiye.

lekin ab mein khamosh hoon, is par mein koi campaign nahi chalata kyunke itna zyada log traditional hain, itna zyada log rivayat pasand hain ke koi sunne ko tayyar nahi. toh mein jo abhi khamoshi mein sab ke sath mein bhi ja ke namaz padh leta hoon, aap bhi yahi kijiye jo mein karta hoon ke agarche meri yeh rai hai, lekin is rai ko chalane mein aur jhagda badhega. jhagda badhne se acha hai ke chalo hum tumhare sath namaz padh lete hain. meri nazariya hai ke chalo yeh bhi theek hai.

maulana, agla sawal kya hai? ah maulana abdul basit omary ne doha, qatar se,
