Salam Shaykh,
Given that the malhama is not far away from the present time, should my wife retire from work earlier rather than later?
Your input on this matter would be very much appreciated.
WasSalaam
Answer:
wa ‘alaykum salam
We don’t know when the malhama will be but we keep to our Shuyukhs’ teaching that we keep doing what we’re doing until circumstances change.
As Mawlana Shaykh Hisham related, Grandshaykh Sharafuddin (q) told his people in Rashadiyya that the Greeks would soon come and invade the area. They said, “should we stop planting the fields and prepare for their coming?” He said, “No, continue with the crops.”
was-salam,
Taher
