Fatawa
What is the legal ruling concerning taking children aged 6 years or under to the Masjid?
Scholars have different approaches towards this matter. Imam Ahmad, for one, use to judge that very young children
should not be allowed into the masjid. But if we survey the Seerah and the Hadith’s of the Prophet (saw) we will find
evidences that he did allow little children to come to the masjid. It was reported that he once walked into the masjid
carrying his granddaughter Umamah and actually started the salah while carrying her. When he bowed or prostrated, he
would put her down, then carry her again when he stood up for the next rak’ah (Bukhari and Muslim).
Also Abdullah ibn Shaddad narrated that the Prophet (saw)'s grandson Al-Hassan once jumped on the Prophet (saw)’s
back while he was in sujood causing the Prophet (saw) to remain longer than usual in sujood. When the salah was over,
the companions said to him “Oh Messenger of Allah (saw), your sujood was so long we thought something was wrong
with you or that you were receiving revelation!. The Prophet (saw) answered, ‘No, noting of that happened, but my
grandchild was having fun riding on my back and I didn’t want to interrupt his play.” (Nasa’i).
From these Ahadith one can conclude that the Prophet (saw) did not mind little children coming to the masjid.
However, these Ahadith combined with other Hadith indicate different instructions from the Prophet (saw) such as
forbidding one entering into salah while food is present or when one really needs to go to the bathroom (Muslim) lest he
or she loses the focus and attentiveness necessary for a meaningful salah. These Ahadith and their likes clearly indicate
that conditions in the masjid should be conductive to having a distraction-free salah.
Thus, little children are permitted to come to, and be present in the masjid. It is however, highly recommended that they
be supervised. It is unquestionable that the children's presence in the masjid helps them connect to it as well as learn
about salah and other good things, but their presence should in no way compromise the adults’ salah, worship and any
other activities which are among the most important functions of the masjid.
Allah (swt) knows best.

Zakaat
Literally, Zakaat means to “purify”.
It refers to the purification of a Muslim’s wealth and
soul. Zakatul-Fitr must be paid before the very day
of Eid ul-Fitr and is obligatory upon every free
Muslim person who is adult, sane and free at the
time of sunset on the last day of Ramadaan and is
also not dependant upon others for means of
subsistence.
Zakatul-Fitr is the right of the poor and the needy
and can be spent for those purposes only.
Fidya
“(Fast) for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number ( should be made up) from
other days. And for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a
Miskin (poor person) for everyday (Fidya) . But who ever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you
fast is better for you if only you know. ” Al Baqarah 2:184
This year the Fidya has been set at $8 per day missed. Please contact Australian Zakaat Fund Inc. for further information

Shawaal
Shawaal is the tenth month of the Islamic calendar and the first day of Shawaal is the day of Eid ul-Fitr.
Fasting 6 days of Shawaal:
Abu Ayyub al-Ansari reported that the Prophet (saw) said:
"Whoever fasts during the month of Ramadaan and then follows it with six days of Shawaal will be [rewarded]
as if he had fasted the entire year." (Muslim)
{(30 x 10 = 300 for Ramadaan) + (6 x 10 = 60 for Shawaal) = 360 - One Hijra year}
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (ra) reported Allah’s Messenger (saw) as saying: “He who observes fast for a day in the way of Allah,
He would remove his face from the Hell to the extent of seventy years distance.” (Muslim)

Teach Me A Hadith
Returning after the Eid prayer a different way to which he came
Narrated Jabir (ra): On the day of Eid the Prophet (saw) used to return (after offering the Eid prayer) through a way
different from that by which he went.

Sydney Cup 06
Survival of the fittest or what??? From 9.30am till 9pm, if after this event you weren’t sore the next day then you were probably one of
two people, either you didn’t play or you were peeling oranges. One of the most enjoyable short versions of the outdoor soccer game.
Grinners are winners & all the glory & $5,000 prize money went to an Auburn team called Lions. Our soccer team showed up but put on
their boots a little too late. Insha Allah we look forward to training hard to win the next event, hint Sydney indoor cup 06.
