Yo yo yo, welcome to Y Well's Hangouts! Uh, we got kind of the same topic—two different Islamic leaders. It's going to be kind of a fun one for our Casual Friday episode. His name is Abdulaziz Alhakan. He does a lot of short clips discussing Islam and answering quick questions. Some of them are funny, and some of them are kind of interesting. A lot of my cousins and my sister send me his clips, and we just kind of laugh about it. I found his channel, and I kind of want to show you guys some of the clips he does and some of the responses he gives. They're kind of funny.
So yeah, let's hop in! I got another leader also—his name is Azim Alakim. You've seen him before on this show, so that one will be pretty funny as well. You can see him on the thumbnail too.
Let's hop into it. Is Bitcoin Haram? The answer is yes, it is, and he has a full lecture on it in Arabic. You can find it through social media. So Bitcoin is Haram. Again, there are a lot of things that I didn't know were Haram until I started watching his clips.
Totally can a girl travel to another country for her studies without any male guardian? We've answered this before: no, it is a must. A family member—a girl—needs a family member to go to another country to study. That's wild! The amount of constraint needed to be a good Muslim is kind of crazy.
Without any clothes, how else do you take a bath? Some of them are just funny. Yeah, this is crazy! A guy for school work? The Messenger, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, said when a man and a woman meet, their third is the Shaytan. They have said that this is impermissible; this is forbidden. So a girl and a guy working together on a project? You can't even work on a project together, man! It's crazy. The scholars have said that the sayings indicate that.
Do you have to play chess? There are so many other games that are Halal, and you can have fun with. You can't play chess—that's crazy! If I talk to a girl, but all texts are Halal? No, it's Haram. So you can't text a shorty now? Oh man, it's tough to be a Muslim.
Is the N-word Halal? No, it's not. Nice! Okay, I agree with that one. You can't say the N-word. I mean, maybe that's why whenever they call me the N-word online, the Muslims change the wording or they call me monkey, but the N-word? Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool.
And cloth having dry semen? If your clothes have dry semen on them, the Salah is correct; however, it is always better to clean them. What the hell? This is nasty! Is for extracting Halal or Haram? [Laughter] Haram! Oh no, chess, 'cause blacks have a chance of winning. I mean, Muhammad was a wild boy; he was very racist, so maybe that was the rationale. Who knows?
I sleep on my stomach. The least thing we can say about it is that it is very Makruh—very frowned upon. Sleeping on your stomach? Oh man, oh man! You can't even sleep on your stomach?
Mask missed in my Minecraft world? I wouldn't encourage this because you're going to demolish it, and you're going to build. So leave these things outside any of the games now.
Oh man, what does the verse in the Quran say? The N-word is Haram? I think a lot of these are rulings from religious leaders on specific matters, right? Nothing, because I mean, obviously, this word wouldn't have been around back then. But you know, this is what I'm saying—it's like just a big cult. You just have a bunch of leaders making these authoritarian-type claims, and it's, you know, it's gospel.
Is it okay to work in a café if it has forbidden things like alcohol and so on? No, it's not okay; it's forbidden. So you can't work in a freaking café.
Okay, let's see what else I got. So I got to freaking upload each one. He has a Jewish nose. So do you! Yo, hey man, why you going at me? Why you going on my head, bro? Come on!
Owning a shisha lounge? Halal? No, it's Haram, and I advise you to turn it into a café where you serve coffee, tea, things like that, desserts, and some food, and so on. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala protect us and you from that which is forbidden. Ameen.
Sheesh, that's going to cause a lot of problems! Just joking; it's okay, bro. I'm not offended. I will recover over the weekend from this.
Let's see. Heroes: the Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and the Prophets and the Messengers, the Companions of the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and our pious predecessors. Muhammad is your hero? I got a problem with that.
Quran while working out and studying? Yes, you can. Okay, that's not bad. I have another—the next leader we're going to listen to said that you can't because it's like dis—oh no, he said about the ringtone. Never mind, never mind. I got to put some respect on their names. I got to represent them accurately.
A place that involves something which is forbidden? I remember our Muhammed, may Allah Subhana preserve him, was asked a similar question, and his answer was to the extent that if you are not connected in any way, shape, or form with that which is forbidden, then it is permissible.
What the hell does "connected" mean?
What's good, what's good, what's good, everybody? It's going to be a short one today. I just thought this would be kind of funny. Think about the Saudi government. First of all, I'm Kuwaiti, and I make Dua for both of them. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala preserve and reward the leaders and the government of Kuwait, as well as give them all goodness. This is the way of the people of Islam, and this is how our Prophets made Dua for their Muslim rulers. Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.
Can you serve drinks in a strip bar? Man, I don't even—I can't extract logic from a lot of this. Like, you can't say, "Well, over in this scenario you can't." It's just random, bro. It's just like you can drink goat pee, but you can't drink alcohol.
Like, what?
Do non-hijabis enter Jannah? Whether from the beginning or eventually, who from us is capable of enduring even less than one second in the Hellfire? Therefore, we have to be smart about it, and we have to stay away from that which Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has made forbidden, because one sin leads to another, and it might misguide us in the end. We ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to protect us and you.
Okay, that was a bit confusing.
Always enter Heaven? All the people who did? I already—yeah, we already did that one.
Haram? No, it's not, as long as you're not drawing a living creature. So you can draw flowers and trees and scenery and mountains and machines and cars and robots.
Hey, plants are alive, man! Plants are 100% alive! But it's crazy; you can't draw. This is why you can't draw; you can't take photos. Like, how can you live? How can you be a good Muslim and live in the West? You can't! You can't take photos of living people; you can't draw. Man, it's hard out here!
And everything just—not living creatures on an anime character? We need to grow up!
Hey, respect, man! Maybe the person asking was serious, man. Why you being disrespectful? Can I—I mean, people got this. I mean, I'm not a big anime dude; there's nothing wrong with it. I'm just saying, like, people got their affinities to these anime. They have a crush on an anime character.
We need to grow up? Like, if I'm serious and I'm asking him this question, I'm freaking—I'm crying, bro, because I really got a crush on an anime character!
His nose looks fake. It does, low key. It does look fake. That's funny! Maybe he's trying to look Jewish to come off smarter. I don't know. Muhammad had a weird obsession but also hatred with Jewish people.
Is it permissible to cut the eyebrows, making them shorter? There's a difference among the people of knowledge. You need to be safe and stay away from it.
What?
I have the power of God and anime on my side! Just don't get a crush on him, bro!
No, it's not, as long as it doesn't have something that is forbidden in it. I mean, Call of Duty? All you're doing in Call of Duty is killing Muslims! I feel like depending on the operation, depending on which version, right? But I don't know.
Okay, let's see what else I got here. If I work in a fast food restaurant, if it is pork, the fatwa of the scholars is that it is forbidden, and the same thing applies to alcohol. That's tough! So no fast food jobs for any Muslims if they want to be a good Muslim.
That's tough!
For girls to read the Quran during their menstrual cycle? I know this is like a big question for everybody. I know everybody's been thinking this. Like, you know, is it permissible for a girl to read the Quran during her menstrual cycle? Everybody thinks about this, and everybody knows a girl's menstrual cycles.
Now, like, can she read the Quran? The correct saying of the people is that yes, it is, but without touching the Quran. So from memorization or from the phone or the tablet.
No marrying a second wife without the first wife's knowledge allowed? Oh man, I love it! This is starting to get fun!
Husband, parents, brothers-in-law, wife, etc. Women wearing hijab from the respect and the chastity of Islam is that women sit alone and men sit alone, and that is because it prevents leading to something which is Haram. Just like Haram mixing and laughter and this and that that might lead to something which is even more Haram.
Oh my gosh, dude! This is like the fun-killing in this religion is crazy!
Let me run that back real quick. Is that women sit alone and men sit alone, and that is because it prevents even he said husband, parents, but even in the same family events from leading to something which is Haram. Just like Haram mixing and laughter and this and that that might lead to something even more Haram, as is known in Islam and the fatwa of the people of knowledge.
That's tough, man!
Halal feelings in Islam are Halal, but it is the way you act upon it—whether you act in a Halal way or in a Haram way.
Okay, make fun of Islam on the internet, and it annoys me. What can I do? Ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to guide them to Islam? Hell no!
Yeah, well, they're trying to get first cousin marriages in the law in the UK. I've heard rumors of this. I mean, I don't understand how something can be put into law that's already occurring, if that makes sense. Like, that's already occurring. I mean, they have a huge epidemic with the healthcare system not being able to accommodate for the messed-up children that they have from cousin marriage. Like, it's already an epidemic; it's already happening.
So putting it in law is kind of pointless.
And I am a 14-year-old revert. I was really good at playing guitar. Can I still play it?
Or I sto—14-year-old revert guitar player? Trust wholeheartedly 100% that when you give up something for Allah, He will replace it with something that is better and will give you Barakah in it, and you will remember and say, "Alhamdulillah that I gave it up for the sake of Allah," and look what Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has given me instead.
AKA music's Haram, music's Haram, eating with your family is Haram, you know, taking drawing living things is Haram. Like, bro, you can't live, man! It's crazy!
Can I take a bath with my wife? Yes, you can, and the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, did it.
Yeah, most things that are like sexual seem to be okay, is what I've noticed.
Is the N-word Halal? Okay, we already did that one, but maybe I subconsciously put it in there twice to emphasize it, to feel good about myself.
Opposite gender on the internet? Stay away from everything that will lead you into so—no texting!
Oh man, they want to make it so that they can do it without Brits going, "Ew, gross barbarians!"
Yeah, they're trying to—I mean, it's like they're trying to make everything that's like nasty Halal in the country. But I mean, what is the—do the representatives in the government of the UK, are they going to step up and do anything about it? I don't know. You got to get rid of these woke policies. It's dumb.
I can look into it, but I mean, these are like minor things. Like, there's like free speech you got to take care of. You know, there's so many other issues in the UK. Like, the cousin marriage stuff is like, you know, I try to like, you know, be—actually, yeah, let me look into it, and then we'll see if it's worth doing a video, 'cause it's already kind of happening.
All right, next person, Aim Alim. He's a little—you know, he's going to seem like these videos are going to seem long after, you know, this dude. But I've covered him before on here. Let me load these real quick.
Okay, you guys make wine Haram, pork Haram, meat that is not slaughtered? Haram! This, this, this, Haram, Haram! Even junk food? You want to make it Haram? Give us a break! I love to eat junk food! I've been eating junk food all of my life. It's tasty, it's good, and there's nothing wrong in that!
So they say, "What is junk food?" You shouldn't—you should have eat junk food! You should have eat junk food! It's harmful! It's going to kill you! You're going to die eventually, and you cannot maintain a healthy diet all of your life! And even if you do, so then what? You're going to die!
So some people—yeah, but you die healthy better than you die ill. It doesn't make any difference! Moderation is good!
A couple of hours ago, I had a lecture: "Your body's a temple; treat it right! Treat your body right! Exercise! Eat good things!"
Deep breath, coat balls!
Oh man, zoom in! In Indonesia, it's called balance in Islam. This is needed! So don't eat junk food 24/7, but at the same time, don't prohibit what Allah has made Halal! If you eat it once every couple of days or three days or once a week, what's wrong in that? There's nothing wrong in that! Moderation is the name of the game! Allah knows best!
Sheesh! You have a what? A girlfriend? A girlfriend? Yes! If you allow your sister and your daughter to have one, it's okay! Do you allow her? Why? Oh my—my sister? No! Nobody can take her as a girl for marriage! It's okay! No, of course not!
I'm offended! The hell with you! Who cares if you're offended or not? You want to do to other women what you don't want people to do to your own women? Fear Allah! If you are serious, no one asks whether it's okay to take a girlfriend, because if you take a girlfriend tomorrow, when you have daughters, they will take one!
I've always thought a girlfriend is weird. Like, you should date for a serious relationship. So I'm kind of with him on that, but I'm a very unique individual on this. You shouldn't just be like, "Oh, we're boyfriend and girlfriend." Like, in, you know, like 10 years, I'm like, "What the hell? What are you—y'all wasting each other's time?"
Boyfriends? But my intention is to get married! Even though if you want to get married, you have to knock on the door of the house, not come from the back door or from the window! And what you're doing, no one approves of it or allows it, and definitely Quran and Sunnah does not allow any of this!
But if you want muta with her, then why not? You pay, and muta, let's do it!
It is prohibited for Muslims to sit and lean back on the palm of the left hand. Doing this, you lean back only on the open palm of your left hand. This is the way that the Jews pray or [Laughter] sit!
Oh man, I forgot about this! This is the way that the Jews pray or sit, according to the Hadith, and this is prohibited to do it on both hands. No problem! We'll steal everything else from the Jews, but you know the way they sit? It's a no for me, dog!
Problem to do it on the fist of your left hand? No problem in that! The Haram is to lean back! First of all, why are you sitting on your fist? What the hell? On the palm of the left hand? And Allah knows best!
That's crazy!
What is this? A cat is a pet? Is a pet? Can I kiss my cat's face? Human feelings are known and well-defined. You cuddle your cat, you love it, sometimes you kiss it, but don't go into details! Kiss it normally!
So is it mouth to mouth or what? You have to have logic, common sense! If I have logic and common sense, I'm not a Muslim, so this is not going to end well for you!
A cat is a pet that we can raise and keep in our houses. We can cuddle it, play with it, it comes on our clothes, it sits on our prayer mats. There is no problem in that whatsoever, and Allah knows best!
It's funny! Like, I feel like Muslims are really genuinely asking these questions, and then the shaykhs are like, "What are you talking about?" It's like, bro, you're attracting these stupid people by this stupid logic, and then you're surprised when you get asked stupid questions!
Can I kiss my cat on the face? Can I kiss my cat's tail?
So basically speaking, we've answered this before. Perfumes that have—can I say hi to my wife today? Can I take my daughter to school? I need answers! Tell me how to live!
Alcohol is totally prohibited to drink! Who would drink it? So you tell me applying it externally is totally permissible!
Oh, but it contains alcohol! So what?
Perfumes that contain alcohol? Like, this is crazy! Like, going through this, I felt like my IQ dropped!
What's the ruling on playing Ludo as it involves dice? One scholar said that this is okay. This is his problem, not mine! If you ask me about the ruling, I would tell you that the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, in an authentic Hadith, said it is best for a person to dip his hand in swine's blood rather than to play with the dice!
Okay, you can't play dice, you can't play chess, you can't play music, you can't draw humans, you can't have dinner with your friends or your family, excuse me, because you'll laugh too much, and it'll be—sheesh!
Man, the Prophet did not say because there is gambling. The Prophet did not say because it distracts you from Salah. He simply prohibited us from playing dice! End of story! Full stop!
So if a scholar or a Tom, Dick, or Harry comes and says that this is because of this, we ask them for justification! Give us evidence that it is prohibited due to gambling!
We got an ex-Muslim in the house! He was my best shaykh when I was a Muslim! At least he's funny!
Yeah, these are funny! I'm not going to lie; these are funny! This is why the Prophet prohibited it! If they fail to bring this, then you have a problem with the people you're asking!
Unfortunately, if you go to their homes, they will find that men who force women to cover their hair—hell! The father and the brothers force the womenfolk—their mothers and their sisters and their daughters—to wear the hair cover!
Why? There's no—nobody said, "No, no, no! You have to do this! You can't eat without wearing the hijab! You can't go to the toilet without wearing the hijab!" You crazy?
Said, "No! If you don't do this, the angels will curse you!" Who said this? What religion is this? Hinduism? Even the Hindus don't do this!
So bro, these Muslims, they got beef with the Hindus! Crazy beef! Like when people are in my DMs, like when I'm, you know, commenting on El Jair's Instagram account, they're like, "You're Hindu! Hindu!" I'm like, "That's not an insult to me!"
One, two, it's just funny that you would call me that because I don't care! But it just shows how much beef they have towards Hindus!
So these people are following a different religion than the religion of Prophet Muhammad, Alat. Either prove it from Quran or Sunnah or leave us alone! Don't invent in our religion and introduce hardship to people's lives without Del proof from the Quran and the Sunnah!
And Allah knows best!
But I mean, if you're going to force a woman to wear hijab everywhere else because it's about sexual whatever, then why wouldn't she wear it? Why wouldn't she be forced to wear it inside?
It's such a repressive religion that, I mean, why would you be surprised if her dad is forcing her to wear it at home? Because it's a holy thing to do, right? So why not be even more holy and wear it inside?
Earlier, you said something about the rings. Okay, the brother is asking about a comment I made where I said that it is not permissible to wear the rings on the index finger nor in the middle finger. This is related to a hadith narrated by—may Allah be pleased with him—in which it is one of the highest authentic hadiths.
He said the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, prohibited us from wearing rings on the index and the middle finger. That's the evidence! You can't wear rings on specific fingers!
Now it's crazy, man!
Ruling on talking in the bathroom? This is very—this is what I always think about! It's like, does God want me to talk in the bathroom? That's what I—that's like my first question!
Talking in a bathroom or in the toilet by itself is permissible! There's nothing wrong in that! And this becomes even more if there is a need for it!
For example, if someone is in the toilet and there's some harm going to take place if I do not speak, so I give a warning to someone that the child is going to fall from the crib, the fire is going to spread from the kitchen—do this! There is a necessity for it!
However, this is different if a person is actually in the toilet to answer the call of nature. So if I'm in the toilet just brushing my teeth or washing my hands or having a shower, there's nothing wrong in talking or answering people!
But if I am actually answering the call of nature, whether number one or number two, and there isn't any reason for talking—even if someone calls me or asks me about something that is not of urgency or necessity—in this case, I must not answer them back because this is the doing of the Prophet!
Alam! Good grief! For real!
Oh man, that's crazy!
If you are a mommy's boy, don't get married! If your mom tells you what to do and what not to do—who the f speaks while shitting?
I mean, look, man, I don't, but I want that option! I want God to give me that option! Like, you know, sometimes it's just—it's the principle! I want to speak if I want to while I'm doing number one or number two!
And you're still suckling milk? Don't get married until you are grown up!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't get married until you stop suckling milk! Okay, got it!
Marriage is a responsibility! You take a woman into this affair; you take care of her! You become her rock! She depends entirely upon you after Allah! If you fail to do this, you're sinful at the sight of Allah!
Sheesh!
Think that marrying a second wife is being a macho?
Sheesh! How many wives do you have? I have one! Poor thing!
Poor thing! I have two! The other gu—well, what is the name of this shaykh? Aim Alake says two only! I have three!
So what is it? Car collection?
Sirs, it is a difficult thing to do to be in a plural marriage! I've done that for 25 years, and it caused me hell! I was fair! I was fair!
Yeah, it said—I mean, it is stressful! It says you will never make them happy! In the Quran, actually, it says you'll never make them happy to the dot!
But I ended up being diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and three stents in my heart! So yeah, it's not an easy thing to do, and it's a responsibility!
Yeah, I mean, some say it's not natural, which is why God didn't really say it!
In your fake God was just a horny mofo!
No, no, no! Silk pillows? Pillow towels? It is not permissible for a man to wear—and wearing means to put it on like a t-shirt or underwear or trousers, cloth, or to use it to sit on!
And now I got to ask, "Hey, is that silk? I can't sit on it!"
Hey, does your hotel have any silk sheets? Does it have any silk pillow covers? 'Cause you got to switch those out for me to pray on!
This is also prohibited if it is pure silk! If it's synthetic silk, there's no problem in that!
Hey, we got silk! Okay, is it synthetic or is it real? It's synthetic? Okay, cool, we're good!
Man, what an insane religion! Insane, insane religion!
Okay, that's all I got for today! Kind of a short one, but I thought it'd be kind of a fun one for a Friday Casual Friday episode! Just keep things light because it's hilarious! I'll probably do these ever so often; they're kind of fun!
All right, y'all have a blessed weekend! Catch you all on Monday! Thank you for your time! I'm out! Peace!
