“O ʿĀʾishah! Don’t turn the poor away.”


The Prophet ﷺ said, “O ʿĀʾishah! Don’t turn the poor away, even if all you have to give is half a date. O ʿĀʾishah! Love the poor and bring them close [to you] for Allaah will then bring you close on the Day of Resurrection.”
Ṣaḥīḥ at-Tirmidhī, no. 2352.

On Predatory Beasts Chasing Women


“… The Shaitan seeks to tempt her …,” commenting on this ḥadīth, the Imaam said, “Namely, he rises up and looks at her and takes interest in her because she has employed one of the means for him to gain authority over her: which is her leaving her home.

This is regarding the Jinn devils, so how about the ones from mankind, especially when the human devils in this age of ours are more harmful to a woman than a thousand Jinn ones, because most of today’s youth have no marūʾah*, no dīn, no honour, no humanity, exposing themselves to women in a grievous manner, base/vile, despicable, degenerate, so the rulers, if they are Muslim, must discipline these depraved sinners and predatory beasts.’”

* Explaining marūʾah, ʿUthaimīn said , “… actions and speech that people do not criticize …” Ash-Sharḥ al-Mumtiʿ 11/108]
