15th night of Sha'baan
Hadhrut Aa-ishah [radhiallaahu anhu] relates that the Nabiy once inquired from her: `Are you aware of the virtue of this night, (meaning the middle night of Sha-baan)?’ She asked: `What is the significance O Rasool of Allaah?’ He then said: `It is on this night that each one of the sons of Aadam who shall be born is determined, and each one of the sons of Aadam to die that year is fixed. It is on this night that the deeds of every person is presented, and their sustenance apportioned’.

The blessed companion Usama ibn Zaid, Radi-Allahu anhu, reports that he asked Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam: "Messenger of Allah, I have seen you fasting in the month of Sha'ban so frequently that I have never seen you fasting in any other month." Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, replied: "That (Sha'ban) is a month between Rajab and Ramadan which is neglected by many people. And it is a month in which an account of the deeds (of human beings) is presented before the Lord of the universe, so, I wish that my deeds be presented at a time when I am in a state of fasting."

Reproach For Not Adding "In Sha' Allah" When Making a Promise
People of high rank are rebuked even for things that seem minor. Being the best of creation, Rasulullah ﷺ was chided by Allah even for omittin a non-obligatory act. A person can never be cartain of the duration of his life and can die before he can fulfil his promises. Even if he lives, he still cannot be certain whether he will be able to conclude the intended act. He should therefore add "Insha'Allah" to every promise. "Insha'Allah" should not be added because a person intends to breach the promise.

RAMADHAAN TREATS
Although the soup is often a meal onto itself, other dishes are also traditionally present, making the meal a multi-course one. Fried foods, such as the Tunisian boreek which are spring rolls stuffed with chicken, eggs, cheese, potatoes and spices, are common almost every day for iftar. Zelabaya, much like the Pakistani and Indian jalebi, maqrood, which is made out of semolina and dates, and other donut-like sweets dipped in honey are desserts eaten only in Ramadhaan or other special occasions, such as Eid, Amr said.

The month of Ramadhan is not like any other month; its purpose is to rid man of those habits which he has accumulated throughout the rest of the year. It is a month that prepares man for the remaining eleven months by teaching him discipline and self control. Thus, Allah has made some acts which are beloved to man, like eating, drinking and fulfilling one’s desires, Haraam. If man can control these desires in this month, which are usually permissible for him, then he can surely control himself from other desires which are not permissible throughout the remaining months.

QUESTION:

Assalamu alaykum Mufti Sahib,

I trust that you are well.

I would like to know if it is permissible for a woman to wear 9 carat gold?

If its not regarded as gold and thus not permissible for ladies, will it then be permissible for males?

Will there be zakah on 9 carats?

Answer:

1. It is permissible for women to wear 9 carat gold jewellery with the exception of rings. Women are only permitted to wear pure gold and silver rings. The gold content in 9 carat rings is minimal (37.5%) and is thus considered non-gold. Hence women should not wear such rings.
2. We assume that you are referring to the ruling of rings. Men are allowed to wear pure silver rings up to the weight of 4.374g. Furthermore, such rings should not resemble those of women. 9 carat gold rings are not pure silver and should not be worn by men.
3. Yes, there will be zakaah on the 9 carat gold jewellery. However, the zakaah will be on the gold content only.
For example, if you have 9 carat gold jewellery to the weight of 10 grams. You will have to pay zakaah on 3.75 grams and not 10 grams, as 9 carat gold only contains 37.5% gold and 37.5% of 10 grams is 3.75 grams.
ويجوز للنساء التحلي بالذهب والفضة لا يجوز للرجال أما بالذهب فلما روينا وأما بالفضة فلأنها في معنى الذهب في التزين ووقوع التفاخر بها إلا الخاتم على هيئة خاتم الرجال أما إذا كان له فصان أو أكثر فحرام
(مجمع الأنهر، 2/535، احياء التراث
وفي الجامع الصغير: لا يتختم إلا بالفضة؛ هذا اللفظ بظاهره يقتضي أن التختم بالذهب والحديد والصفر، والشبة وما أشبه ذلك حرام على الرجال؛ أما التختم بالذهب فحرمته على الرجال مذهب عامة العلماء
(الميحط البرهاني، 8/48، المجلس العلمى)
ثم الخاتم من الفضة إنما يجوز للرجل إذا ضرب على صفة ما يلبسه الرجال أما إذا كان على صفة خواتم النساء فمكروه وهو أن يكون له فصان كذا في السراج الوهاج وإنما يجوز التختم بالفضة إذا كان على هيئة خاتم الرجال أما إذا كان على هيئة خاتم النساء بأن يكون له فصان أو ثلاثة يكره استعماله للرجال كذا في الخلاصة ويكره للرجال التختم بما سوى الفضة كذا في الينابيع والتختم بالذهب حرام في الصحيح كذا في الوجيز للكردري وفي الخجندي التختم بالحديد والصفر والنحاس والرصاص مكروه للرجال والنساء جميعا
(الفتاوى الهندية، 5/413، العلمية)
وأما الهروية والمروية وما لم يكن الغالب عليها الذهب فتعتبر قيمتها إن كانت أثمانا رائجة أو للتجارة وإلا فيعتبر قدر ما فيها من الذهب والفضة وزنا لأن كل واحد يخلص بالإذابة
(بدائع الصنائع، 2/411، العلمية)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
