Question:
As salam,
Ya sayidi, in previous posts Sheikh Jibril mentioned about giving sadaqa, https://eshaykh.com/prayer_request/special-dua-for-elimination-of-difficulties-in-life/ in this context, is doing something good with the intention of sadaqa such as helping others considered sadaqa, or sadaqa by giving money only?
2. I want to print a taweez for my protection with regular printer, am I allowed, as printer ink is not natural material as saffaron?
3. Please pray for me that I’m monetarily sustainable, as I think it is necessary to get marry as quickly as possible, as nowadays the fitna of women not following Sharia rules such as not wearing hijab, wearing inappropriate attire, and etc, UNFORTUNATELY in our culture that we must have job first before getting married, and getting married while still in college considered premature marriage. Please advice ya Shyakh Hisham and Jibril pray for me that my rizq door is open widely, I’m afraid of this particular fitna.
Jazakallah khair.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you. May Allah swt grant you goodness in this life and goodness hereafter.
Even a smile in the face of your brother is sadaqa; however, Allah said {hatta tunfiqu mimma tuhibbun} i.e. firm iman involves spending of what we love and need, so the latter is more powerful.
Ink is OK.
As for fitna that is dunya which Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) warned about. Yet we only judge ourselves — not others — and we ask Allah to change what is in ourselves first, then our families and societies will improve in sha Allah.
