A Question About Taking Benefit From Things Only For Allah
There is no blame on the child. We use such methods to build a habit of rituals in kids because they do not understand or realize the benefits of the world hereafter. In the second case, too, there seems no ethical problem. If one feels there is, one can avoid.
Yes, in the second case, it is not Riyakari. However, for different people, it might be different. Some may take it and some may not like to take the money. Such cases are grey areas and it is left to people’s choice. In such cases, no single ruling is given
@Irfan76 sir here in this live when it was asked the similar question by ghamidi Sahab on 1:19:30 in this video https://www.youtube.com/live/UUFjnDyD25s?feature=share he said that a person, should excuse himself and say sorry and not accept that money etc. but now sir a big confusion arises in mind that, if a person is not allowed to even accept a worldly benefit which he might think may have resulted to some extent because of his religious matter, then there’s a whole list of problems arises from it. for example, every religious Muslim man or woman, accepts the proposal of marriage or sends a proposal of marriage to and from a Muslim only, so a man sending a proposal to parents of a girl must very clearly know that the one of the many reasons for acceptance of the girl’s family to this proposal is that the man is himself on faith. even the parents getting agreed to meet the boy for checking him out is because the boy is a, Muslim and wanting to do nikkah with our daughter (doing nikkah again is an act of worship). if either of the 2 conditions (Muslim or doing nikah) was not present like the man not being a Muslim or a man wanting to take their daughter with him without doing nikkah, the parents of the girl would have not even agreed to meet much less agree to give their daughter to the man. so again here 2 things of the man play a role (his faith, his intention of marriage). apart from that almost every gift given to a person is based on the love the sender of gift has for the person. and that love may have developed due to many many reasons, like for example due to meeting with respect at an instance or the person on one occasion helping the man who later sent gift, when he was in need etc, but there is also a probability that love may have developed also because of the man knowing about the piety of the person (like people develop some love for a pious religious man in the neighborhood). in this way every religiously pious person should not accept gift from neighbors because there might be possibility that this gift was sent out of the love of them because of many reasons and one of the reasons is that the man is pious, etc. so when we look into our daily lives we get so many worldly benefits and one of contributions for it is from our ibadah/eeman in so many numerous instances in life, and so many numerous situations. so do we have to be vigilant always to check, and if there’s a possibility that our ibadah/eeman may be contributing for a benefit to reach us, then is it a must to reject it?
