اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمٌ الْأَثْرَمُ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ أَتَى كَاهِنًا فَصَدَّقَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ أَوْ أَتَى حَائِضًا أَوْ أَتَى امْرَأَةً فِي دُبُرِهَا فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to a soothsayer and affirms what he says, or has intercourse with a menstruating woman, or has intercourse with a woman from her back, then such a person is dissociated from the Shari'ah revealed upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits:
➊ Definition of a Kahin: A kahin is a person who claims to inform about future events concerning the universe and claims to know secrets and mysteries. (Lisan al-Arab: 13/363)
Al-Azhari has said: The existence of soothsaying (kahānah) was present among the Arabs before the advent of our master Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sent, and the heavens were guarded by shooting stars, and the devils and jinn were prevented from stealthily listening to the news of the heavens and conveying it to the kahins, then the knowledge of soothsaying became invalid. Allah, the Exalted, eradicated the falsehood and lies of the kahins through the Noble Criterion (Furqan Hamid), by which Allah distinguishes between truth and falsehood. (Lisan al-Arab: 13/263)
In ‘Kitab al-Tawhid’ it is stated: A kahin is a person who informs about future events, and it is also said that a kahin is one who tells what is in the heart. (Hashiyah Kitab al-Tawhid, Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad, p. 206)
Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Baz rahimahullah says: Asking them is impermissible, and affirming them is an even graver sin and forbidden. Rather, due to the statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it falls under the category of disbelief (kufr). He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Whoever comes to a kahin and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days.” (Muslim, Kitab al-Salam, Bab Tahrim al-Kahanah wa Ityan al-Kuhan)
➋ ... From the aforementioned hadith, it is understood that having intercourse with a woman during menstruation is not permissible. Allah, the Possessor of Majesty, has said:
﴿فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَآءَ فِی الْمَحِیْضِ وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوْهُنَّ حَتّٰی یَطْهُرْنَ﴾ (al-Baqarah: 222)
“…So keep away from women during menstruation, and do not approach them until they are purified.”
Intercourse during menstruation is not permissible according to the Shariah, nor is it permissible from a natural perspective. If someone does have intercourse, then regarding such a person, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: ((يَتَصَدَّقُ بِدِينَارٍ أَوْ بِنِصْفِ دِينَارٍ)) (Sunan Abi Dawud, no. 264; Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 136; Sunan Ibn Majah, no. 640)
“He should give charity of one dinar or half a dinar.”
➌ ... It is also understood that having intercourse with a woman in her anus is also forbidden. In this act, there is resemblance to the practice of the people of Lut, and the outcome that befell the people of Lut is mentioned in several places in the Noble Qur’an. (See: Surah al-Shu‘ara: 160–175 and Surah al-Qamar: 33–34)
At the end of the aforementioned hadith, it is stated that whoever does this act, such a person is disassociated from the religion of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Therefore, Muslims should avoid such actions.
