Holding Hands or Keeping wudhu?

Question:

Assalamualaikum,

For wedded couples, especially so for newly-weds, maintaining a good physical contact such as holding hands is one of the new ways to show signs of love.

However, I also learnt that it is always best to be keeping your wudhu at all times. Is there a middle-ground for this situation? Or one of the actions would top up the other?

Thank you so much. May Allah bless you. I love you Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Shaykh Hisham, Shaykh Adnan and all!

Answer:

wa `alaykum salaam,

For unwed couples, they are not allowed to hold hands at all unless they want to make sin, so it is up to them. But for your case, you are allowed as you are married. And if you have wudu and hold hands, you will be rewarded and raised in hasanat, as holding the hands of your husband/wife is considered `ibadah, worship, so it is not a problem. Then after you finish going where you are going, you can renew your wudu. However, you have to be careful. If anything drips, then you know what you have to do.

Dream: Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Dream:

In the name of Allah most beneficent most merciful.
Bismillah arrahmani rahim alhabuliha ar- rabi alamin.

I have dream the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and i was dreaming him in a white garment and his head was covered and half of cheek covered but you could see him i would not tell you HOW he looks or never will i draw him because i have no right to do so. Fist of all he was sorrounded by light and he was telling me something , his right side was facing me but I ask him something dont remember . i also had another dream about good muslim women covered in black garment and covered hair, NO EVIDENCE OF SHOWING HAIR OF THE WOMEN , WOMEN WITH THEIR HUSBAND AND CHILDREN ENJOYING GOOD DAY.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salaam,

Seeing the Prophet (s) in a dream means you will be relieved from seven difficulties in dunya and in akhirah. Also, Imam Suyuti (r) said that if you see the Prophet (s) in your dream, you will see him in reality before you leave dunya! And if he is not happy with you, you will not see him, which means it is an honor that you have seen him.

wallahu `alam,

Dream: Roses

Dream:

Salaam
I am a sister and unmarried. Today in my dream, i saw i was in a house and looking out the window. there was a tree and 2 pink (very light pink almost white) roses were laying on the ground below the tree. I wanted my brother to go get me those roses but I saw some unknown woman is also picking flowers from the tree and giving to a little girl. Then i think that tree doesn’t belong to me so I shouldn’t get those roses. so i move away from the window then I am hanging my niqab (black colored) 4 of them on a stick and on the back I put a sort of green ribbon on the stick where the niqabs are hanging. Please interpret this dream for me. JazakAllah

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salaam,

That tree is the tree of forbidden fruits. Alhamdulillah you didn’t take anything from it, which means you are saved from all 800 forbidden actions. Seeing niqab in the dream means that Allah (swt) is protecting you from four difficulties which you might encounter in your life. So keep your belief strong in Allah (swt), in the Prophet (s), and in awliya. Recite “Yaa Allah,” “Yaa Wadood,” and “Yaa Hafizh” 100 times each.

Dream: Rasulallah’s Stone and My Mother

Dream:

Dear Shuyukh

Assalamualaikum

I dreamt I am in a market and mashaikh are selling tickets for seminar about RasulAllah (saw) but the tickets are covered in blood. My mother wants to buy it but i told her she will not be interested.

Then one shaykh says to me that i must listen to my mother and that she has RasulAllah’s (saw) Stone and that due to her prayers and the stone i will have prosperity in my life and will not have any problems.

The market is on a hill and at the top is a citadel where the seminar will be held and i feel that maybe RasulAllah is there waiting.

Thanks and Salams

wa `alaykum salaam,

It is a good lesson about respecting and obeying one’s parents and not to say “no” to anything that does not contravene the shariah. Keep making plentiful Salawat and progressing, insha-Allah you will draw closer and closer to the Prophet (s).

And Allah knows best.
