If this path is for other then the Muslims is it permissible for a person to relieve oneself in it? | Sh. Uthaymeen

Shaykh Al Uthaymeen said:

If this path is for other then the Muslims is it permissible for a person to relieve oneself in it?

Answer:

No, because the hadeeth with the narration in Muslim “The one who relieves himself in the pathway of the people”

He didn’t restrict it to the Muslims.

The religion of Islam is not a religion of transgression and harm, as long as there is between us and those disbelievers a covenant or protection, then it is not permissible for us to harm them!!

Imam Ash Shafiee in Ar Risaalah encouraged learning the Arabic language

Ash Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Hizaam said:

Imam Ash Shafiee in Ar Risaalah encouraged learning the Arabic language and mentioned some chapters in regards to that due to the importance of that as has preceded.

Due to that a person shouldn’t turn away from learning Nahwu (Arabic grammar) and he shouldn’t despair. The beginning of it becomes hard upon some people, then he becomes impatient with this field, and its not befitting that he become impatient rather upon him is that he has patience, and reads it time after time until Allah opens it upon him, perhaps it may become hard upon him in the beginning only, if he continues it will be made easy upon him by the permission of Allah, he shouldn’t make it much upon himself by studying more then a book, whilst the information repeats in every book.

Al-Imaam Ibnul-Qayim Mentions The Reality of Free Mixing And It’s Harms

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Al-Imaam, Al-Allaamah, Al-Muhaqqiq, Abu Abdillah Muhammad bin Abee Bakr bin Ayyuub bin Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (May Allah shower His Mercy upon him) says about the the reality of free mixing:

“And there is no doubt that enabling the women from their free mixing with the men is the origin of every disaster and every evil and it is from the greatest means for the descending of public punishments as it is also from the means for corrupting the general and specific affairs and the free mixing of men with the women is a cause for frequenct evil acts and Zinaa (adultery) and it is also from the means of widespread death and constant plagues!!”

Devil’s Deception to People by giving them High Hopes

Devil’s Deception of People by giving them High Hopes (of living long)

Many Jews and Christians contemplated joining Islam, but Iblis convinced them to procrastinate saying: “Do not rush, look more into the issue.” Until they die as non-Muslims. He also causes the sinner to procrastinate seeking repentance. A poet said:

“Do not rush into committing a sin,and then procrastinate repenting.”

Iblis makes those seeking righteousness feel lazy, and he causes those who are serious to procrastinate. He convinces a jurist to rest instead of going over his lesson again. And convinces a worshipper who had woken up to pray at night that he still has a lot of time.

Iblis tries to make people lazy procrastinators, and to make them have hope (of a long life). A disciplined person must take advantage of time, and never procrastinate. That which is feared can never be trusted, and that which passes can never be brought back again.

The main reason for doing less good and more evil is relying on the hope of a long life, this is because a person continues to procrastinate performing good deeds and refraining from evil deeds. He who hopes to wake up in the morning will not do much at night, and he who hopes to travel during the day will travel much at night. However, he who sees death to be near works hard during his life. Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Perform prayer as if you were departing.”

Some of the Salaf said: “Beware of procrastination, for it is one of devil’s strongest weapons.”

A disciplined person prepares for his journey, while a procrastinator doesn’t. So when it comes time to travel the disciplined person feels happy while the procrastinator feels that he is in trouble. This is how people are. Some are alert, so when the Angel of Death comes they do not feel guilty. Others are not disciplined, so they feel the agony when it comes time to travel. If procrastination is part of your nature then repelling it becomes
difficult. But when one knows that he has a persistant enemy he will always be on guard.

We ask Allah to give us safety from the enemy’s cunning, the devil’s fitnah’s and the evils of ourselves and the dunya. Indeed He is near and responsive.
