Ibn Yasin al-Bahraini
When this device existed, we didn’t know the face of Princess with her niqab, nor the white hands of a modest woman, nor the beauty of so-and-so’s hijab...
The girl was honored and respected in her home. We didn’t know where she went or where she entered. Homes had their sanctity, and women were respected. The woman in niqab was a queen to her family and her husband. The woman in hijab was dignified, honored, and protected—her face, her eyes, and her hands were for her husband and close male relatives.
Women were busy making food, organizing the house, and learning beautiful crafts like sewing and others.
Then came the iPhone and others, and women got pages on social media, and even gained male followers. And this is when men entered your sister’s, wife’s, and family’s room, and now a man knows where she went, what she ate, what she wears, the color of her eyes, the color of her hands, and how she wears her niqab and hijab.
Even the stranger knows more about your family than you do.

Ibn Yasin al-Bahraini
Sheikh Rabi' al-Madkhali (May Alah Preserve him) said:
One of the reasons for the victory of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them
The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, were granted victory in the Battle of Badr despite being few in number because of their sincere faith, their devotion to Allah, their steadfastness, and the presence of the Messenger (ﷺ) among them, praying to Allah for their victory.

Ibn Yasin al-Bahraini
Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“It is Sunnah for the Imam to stand in line with a man’s head and in line with a woman’s middle, because that is proven from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in the Hadith of Anas and Samurah ibn Jundub (may Allah be pleased with them). As for the view of some scholars, that the Sunnah is to stand in line with a man’s chest, this is a weak view for which there is no evidence as far as we know.”
(Majmu` Al-Fatawa, 13/142)
And Allah knows best.

Ibn Yasin al-Bahraini
Surah Al-Baqarah: 45
"And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is a heavy burden except for the humble."
No matter the circumstances, no matter how heavy the heart may feel or how wounded the soul is, the reins of Sharia should never slip from our hands. This is true patience. In this, there is nothing but good.
"And if harm touches him, he is patient, and that is better for him."
When misfortune strikes, if our behavior becomes like that of the Khawarij, what claim do we have to follow the way of the Salaf? What success do we hope for when we are contradicting the Sunnah? In every situation, our way must remain steadfast in the belief in Tawhid and the Sunnah, and we must consistently pray for steadfastness. This is what is required of us, even if it means we pass through life without seeing immediate results or success in this world.
"What is with you will perish, but what is with Allah is everlasting." (An-Nahl: 96)
The ultimate goal is not the acquisition of fleeting material goods, but the eternal and successful life in the Hereafter, where there will never be any pain or sorrow, where blessings will never end—blessings that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has ever imagined. It is in this place where the believers will be granted the greatest blessing: the sight of their Lord, the Most High.
What is the prophetic method for removing individual and collective hardship?
Narrated Hudaifah (RA), he said: "Whenever something troubled the Prophet ﷺ, he would immediately turn to prayer." (Sunan Abi Dawood: 1319)
Hudaifah (RA) states that whenever the Prophet ﷺ faced difficulty, He would immediately focus on prayer. During times of distress and hardship caused by the disbelievers, the Prophet ﷺ would recite Qunut during prayer. The most difficult moment in Islamic history for the small, weak Muslim community was the Battle of Badr, which had no parallel, nor will it ever have one. At this time, the Prophet ﷺ spent the entire night under a tree, praying, weeping, and begging Allah, while making du'a for the Muslims. This serves as the best example for us in our current hardships.
"Hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakeel."
O Allah, send Your help to the oppressed Muslims in Palestine and bring down punishment upon the enemies of Islam. Ameen, O Lord of the worlds.

Ibn Yasin al-Bahraini
Gheerah (Protective Jealousy)
Gheerah is a noble trait that is innate to a sound human being who has been honored and elevated by their Lord. Islam has praised and elevated the status of gheerah, even considering defending one’s honor and showing protective jealousy over women to be a form of jihad, for which blood may be shed and lives sacrificed. The one who dies for it is rewarded with the status of a martyr in Paradise.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Whoever is killed defending his wealth is a martyr, whoever is killed defending his blood is a martyr, whoever is killed defending his religion is a martyr, and whoever is killed defending his family is a martyr."
— [Sahih Hadith narrated by Sa‘id ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him]
Gheerah is a Sign of True Manhood:
In its rightful place, gheerah is a manifestation of real manliness. It preserves honor, protects sanctities, glorifies the symbols of Allah, and upholds His boundaries. It is a clear sign of strong and deep-rooted faith.
Therefore, it's no surprise that moral decay, immodesty, indecency, and immorality have become widespread in Western societies and similar communities, where gheerah has become weak or nonexistent.
Sadly, many people today have lost this trait altogether.
Even the pre-Islamic Arabs possessed a strong sense of gheerah, to the extent that they would protect the honor of their neighbors against their own desires. Antarah ibn Shaddad proudly said:
"I lower my gaze if my neighbor's woman appears,
Until she disappears behind her home."
Wars were sometimes waged due to gheerah for a woman’s honor or in response to her cry for help.
Historical Events Sparked by Gheerah:
Imam Ibn Kathir mentions in the events of the year 286 AH:
A woman appeared before the judge of Rayy (a city in present-day Iran), claiming that her husband owed her 500 dinars as dowry. He denied it, but she brought witnesses. They asked to uncover her face to confirm her identity. The husband said: “Do not do that. She is truthful in her claim.”
He accepted her claim rather than have her unveiled. When the woman realized that her husband admitted the debt just to preserve her modesty, she said: “I forgive him his entire debt in this world and the next.”
The judge, deeply moved by their gheerah and decency, said: “This must be recorded among the noblest of virtues.”
Among the noble acts of Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi was this:
A Muslim woman was captured in India and cried out, “O Hajjaj!” Upon hearing this, he responded, “I am here for you,” and spent seven million dirhams to rescue her.
A noblewoman was once taken captive by the Byzantines. She had no connection to the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mu'tasim except the bond of Islamic brotherhood. When she was tortured, she cried out, “Wa Mu‘tasimah!”
Upon hearing this cry while resting, Al-Mu’tasim immediately rose and declared, “I am coming for you!”
He launched a military campaign with the full force of the Muslim army. They swept through enemy fortresses until they reached 'Ammuriyah, liberated the woman, and Al-Mu‘tasim said to her:
“Bear witness before your grandfather, the Prophet (peace be upon him), that I came to free you.”
In the 7th century AH, during a time of severe division among Muslims, when Crusaders had occupied parts of their lands and threatened to take Egypt, the Fatimid ruler in Egypt, Al-‘Ādid li-Dīn Allāh, sought help from the Syrian ruler Nur ad-Din Zangi.
Though Nur ad-Din did not recognize the legitimacy of the Fatimid Caliphate, a solution was found through a symbol of honor: the ruler sent a lock of hair from the women of his household.
This powerful symbol stirred Nur ad-Din’s gheerah and sense of duty. He dispatched the best of his troops, led by Asad ad-Din Shirkuh and his nephew Salah ad-Din (Saladin), to save Egypt.
Thus, a single strand of a woman’s hair changed the course of history and led to the legendary Battle of Hattin, where the Muslims defeated the Crusaders and reclaimed the Holy Land.
A Life of Gheerah vs. a Life of Dishonor:
A Muslim society that lives with gheerah rises in dignity and purity. In contrast, disbelieving societies in the East and West live in filth and disgrace, where even animals may surpass them — as male animals fiercely protect their females, fighting off any rival that approaches them.
Truly, our scholars were right when they said:
“Every nation whose men lose their sense of gheerah will see its women lose their sense of modesty.”

Ibn Yasin al-Bahraini
A hadith of the Prophet ﷺ:
"Any woman who marries without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If he consummates the marriage with her, then she is entitled to the dowry in exchange for what he has made lawful of her private parts. If they dispute, then the ruler is the guardian of the one who has no guardian."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Abu Daoud & At-Termedhy Ibn Majah & Ahmad] - [Sunan Abu Daoud - 2083]
The order of guardianship (Wilayah) is as follows:
1. The father, then the grandfather
2. Then the sons
3. Then the full brothers
4. Then the paternal half-brothers
5. Then the son of the full brother
6. Then the son of the paternal half-brother
7. Then the paternal uncle (full brother of the father)
8. Then the paternal uncle (half-brother of the father)
This is because guardianship is based on male lineage (Al-Asaba).
As for the maternal uncle, he cannot serve as a guardian.
