Assalaamu alaikum, [quote]i'm trying to figure out a way to record it directly into real audio[/quote] Great! You will need a computer, a microphone, and real producer (or even real jukebox)! |

We were so tempted to write center for industrial bidah :) :) but didn't think too many older muslims would find that humorous !! |

Someone asked that this question be asked to Br. Mokhtar. I thought I'd post the answer here for everyone's benefit: [color=purple]QUESTION: Is a sister responsible if she refuses to marry a brother and he sins after that? [color=green]ANSWER: What i understood is that Br. Mokhtar said something to the effect that no one can take on another person's sin, the evidence for this is the ayah that says "No bearer of burdens may burden another" (which I believe is in Surah baqarah?), but she is responsible to Allah if she refused him for no good reason ie he was a really good muttaqi, pious Allah-fearing brother and she had no real reason to refuse. and Allah knows best |

btw the reason i wanted to post this is that it is very important for sisters to understand this. unfortunately i know of sisters who have been pressured by brothers who say 'i'm going to sin if you don't marry me' and sisters who have even been pressured into zinna 'authobillah!! with the guy making them feel guilty etc so please...don't feel guilty for anyone, their sin is their sin and please tell them that. |

Assalaamu alaikum, hmmm...interesting...this guilt thing will be a tad different for me. *I* will feel a bit guilty when a sister says *yes* to me rather than no! This may not be the average guy feeling but then I am not an average Joe :) A brother who sins is a loser. He is hurting himself and no one else, and the sister shouldn't feel guilty. I think this guilt think develops when the two are very close before. This also kind of explains the zinna, which is shocking. Anyway, Jannah when will you be putting up the recording of the seminar? Wasalaam. |

slm, well unfortunately we had to tape it on cassette tapes and it will take awhile to convert it into real audio. it's quite long so we might only do the beginning or answers to some impt questions. however...he gave me permission to tape it but then when i asked can i put it on my homepage he said 'homepage?! what's a homepage!' so i gotta sit down and explain this to him to see if he'll agree inshallah |

Assalamu alaikum, [quote]*I* will feel a bit guilty when a sister says *yes* to me rather than no! [/quote]Wow! Asim, we got something in common. I feel the same way. Alhamdulillah, now I know I'm not the only weirdo out there :) (not that you are one) Yeah. If the sister is really good, I would probably feel guilty and undeserving. Very true. |

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah I'm not sure if I really follow, Asim & Arsalan, you would feel guilty? If you proposed and a sister said yes? Esp. if she was "really good"? That's an interesting concept, if I've assumed correctly, that is. Anyways, may Allah grant you all righteous spouses & families, insha'Allah, aameen. |

slm Wow Arsalan, that is really nice to hear! I thought I was the only "weirdo" out there but subhanallah I'm not alone :) I had second thoughts after I posted that but not any more! SA: You followed it alright. See if we propose to a sister, and she accepts, we would feel like we have unfairly pulled her, and maybe she could have gotten someone better. JazakAllah khairan for you duaa. Wasalaam. |
