The authors of the said booklet can be compared with people who are living in posh luxurious villas and writing the manual of jihaad, the do's and don't in jihad etc. One who is really in jihaad is eligible to write those manuals, because he knows the requirement of jihaad, the requirements of the participants, the real scenario on the battle field etc. do you actually know how much muftis saheb does and how he lives? or did you just assume he lives in luxury? someone posted a short biography on the forum once. i cant remember much but i do recall that mufti saheb wears clothes with patches. where is this luxury that you speak of?

The authors have said the work of tableeg is a MUSTAHAB activity, I quote "The specific Tabligh of the Tabilghi Jamaat is MUSTAHAB for men only, ". Either they should travel round the globe among the ummah or they should get feed back from the TJ workers. The villages of Indian sub-continent to hitech cities of the west, the dire status of ummah in Venenzula, Chile, Brazil etc., the happenings in Jeddah and Riyadh. Then only they can do justice in categorizing the tableeg work. so if taking part in tabligh jamaat is not mustahab then what is it? fardh?

A day is not too far when these authors will oppose deeni and wordly education for women. Instruct to close all the madrasah-e-niswaaan. what do you base this statement on? or is it just slander?

Quote from the booklet:

"The ladies programme is beneficial for the education of women in the field of Islamic knowledge, hence it is wrong to prohibit the ladies programmes of the Tablighi Jamaat."
In reply we say:
While acknowledging that a degree of Islamic knowledge is Fardh upon Muslim women as well, and while acknowledging that most of our women-folk are ignorant of Islam – like most of our men-folk – we reject the ladies jamaat as being the solution for the malady.

But they fail to propose a practical alternative from their experience for the malady. No theoratical alternatives from luxurious villas will be accepted. hazrat zakariyyah (ra) was also against masturat jamaat and there are also old fatwa from deoband against masturat jamaat.

as for proposing an alternative, maybe he HAS proposed an alternative elsewhere in a different book.

I quote:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore, in these days when women travel, they have to intermingle with kuffaar, fussaaq and fujjaar at regular intervals during the journey – at the airports, at the immigration, at the customs, in the taxis, buses, in the streets, etc. They are subjected to body searches at airports, and now their entire satr will be portrayed on screens at airports. It is only a man bereft of the slightest vestige of hayaa and honour who can tolerate that his wife's entire body, including her satr-e-ghaleez should be scanned and revealed by the kuffaar on the pretext of checking for explosives. In such circumstances it is haraam for a woman to travel for even Hajj and Umrah. If she has to expose her satr to the kuffaar examiners at airports, then the fardhiyat of Hajj is waived for her. To a far far greater degree will it be HARAAM for her to go on a journey for participation in tabligh which is not the role which Allah Ta'ala has created for her.

So what about traveling for worldly purpose, the lady has to go to her home country etc. ask mufti saheb about it. mabe he feels the same way about travelling for dunya. but in this instance he was addressing travelling in the context of tabligh jamaat.

Regarding waiver of haj, we shall wait till a message comes on this waiver was utilized. i have no idea what this means.

Also I request these scholars to consult their safeers (who collect charity for madrasah", how difficult it is to collect these amounts to run the madrasah. Then only they understand the work of dawah. what?? are you saying mufti saheb does not understand dawah?
