consent are you saying that that is wrong yes i'm saying that that is hold on a second bro hold
0.96
00:00:32.320
on a second there was advocate you as a muslim man with this hair and beard you know a macho man
00:00:37.660
your hadith the prophet peace be upon him says yeah that if a man tells his wife to come for intimacy
00:00:44.420
and she says no or she refuses to the angels curse her let's see how you get out of this one now

and dear friends hope you guys are well inshaAllah welcome to this video before we start we want to
00:01:11.080
praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the most merciful the most trust or praises glory and gratitude
00:01:14.060
belong to him this was not going to be a reaction video but we came across the video and we thought
00:01:18.300
you know we might as well react to it because this is what people like listening to let's get straight
00:01:21.400
into it so this is about marital rape so this new phenomena this new popularized idea
00:01:26.440
that rape can occur in a marriage is something that we're going to be reacting to so we're going
00:01:31.840
to get straight into it there's a video and this is actually quite brutal because in here in this
00:01:35.160
very specific video the woman actually ends up killing the man let's find out why you ready
00:01:56.440
okay let's get straight to the point no time wasting this was a very brutal disturbing case now the
00:02:24.560
first thing to mention is forced marriage which is not permissible in some and forcing someone to get
00:02:29.880
married on top of that if i'm if i didn't see that wrong was it saying that he got her cousins to rape
0.88
00:02:34.960
her no i think he he raped her whilst they watched so he called the cousins to hold it down or what
0.95
00:02:41.060
something like that that's again haram because you know you're showing your wife's aura number one
0.68
00:02:44.960
oh there's many things about that there's a there's many things that are haram about that but i think
00:02:50.240
with this discourse we have to start off with robust definitions okay because that's what we have you
00:02:55.160
here in the feminist movement the second wave uh feminist movement there has been some really
00:03:01.840
radical definitions of what constitutes rape by the way for example mckinnon katherine mckinnon
00:03:07.960
famously actually said that even if the woman consents and says yes that it can still be uh rape
00:03:17.420
and i i believe just from listening to jermaine greer in recent times as well this trivialization of
00:03:25.220
stranger rape uh because what it is is that when the definitions become so closely knit to
00:03:33.700
uh normal intercourse then it trivializes in my opinion you know especially if mckinnon is saying
00:03:41.000
that even if the person says yes so if the woman is consenting it's still rape i mean these kind of
00:03:46.760
what about the man what if the man's consenting okay good point right uh but the point is these are
00:03:51.720
the kind of ridiculous definitions unacceptable definitions which we need to kind of eliminate
00:03:56.260
from but we need to explain that they are part of the discourse and have been part of the discourse
00:04:00.480
but when we're talking about rape i think that's why i said let's start with robust definitions
00:04:04.980
when we're talking about we're talking about without the person's consent we're talking about
00:04:11.220
sex happening without the person's consent are you saying that that is wrong yes i'm saying that
0.64
00:04:15.820
that is hold on a second bro hold on a second let's be there was advocate you know you you as a muslim
0.95
00:04:19.380
man with this hair and beard you know a macho man uh your hadith the prophet peace be upon him says
00:04:24.400
yeah that if a man tells his wife to come for intimacy and she says no or she refuses to the
00:04:32.440
angels curse her let's see how you get out of this one now brother let's see how brave you are now
00:04:35.620
the angels will curse her but the hadith also says that if he bet one if he sleeps over and he's very
00:04:42.720
angry so it's obviously what's the anger caused by the anger is caused by his not getting his way or
00:04:49.180
not having sex with the woman because if if the if if if the hadith was instructing him to have
0.73
00:04:54.660
uh sex then it would would tell him it wouldn't be there'd be nothing for him to be angry about he'd
0.90
00:04:59.080
be getting his way good point so that's so let's get so that's self-defeating the very hadith actually
0.99
00:05:03.660
um refutes the contention that islam is some kind of condoning marital rape because the hadith
00:05:10.640
itself says that the angels will curse her yeah um so what that should it doesn't say if the hadith said
0.99
00:05:16.280
you ask your wife to come to the bed she doesn't you better grab her by the head or you rape her
1.00
00:05:20.040
don't forget this is not saying that this is talking about somebody who's not offering their
1.00
00:05:23.680
spouse yeah uh sexual assurity right and um and this is what marriage is all about marriage is about
00:05:30.360
both partners exploring sexual um relationships yes and if either the man or the woman in islam
00:05:37.560
do not give or satisfy the other half then really what they're doing is they're faltering on the on
00:05:44.200
the contract yeah uh this kind of sexual frigidity if you want to call it that is really a non-option
00:05:49.900
for both parties um otherwise quite frankly they're lacking and deficient of those individuals who do
00:05:55.840
that okay let me put this here this was the perspective that i wanted to come from which i
00:06:00.160
was just thinking maybe the hikma behind it yeah tell me if i'm wrong let's put this into context
00:06:05.060
because when we talk about these kind of things we need to put it in a let's frame it in a way
0.98
00:06:08.740
yeah in in islamic perspective so let's get this right yeah yeah a muslim man is he allowed to have sex
0.78
00:06:13.820
outside of marriage no okay we really need to contextualize this because it's very important
0.56
00:06:18.120
for us to get the context behind it you know there is a muslim man he before getting married he should
00:06:24.340
be staying away from woman because it's haram he gets married the right way yes and now he is imagine
00:06:30.480
living in the society when you're going out and you are faced with hypersexual society bro come on
0.78
00:06:36.100
let's be honest i traveled down the a4 or 6 big balance with half naked girls like you only it's in
1.00
00:06:41.820
your face and then you go to be at the cashier or wherever it may be and you've got a woman who's
00:06:45.780
dressed up in a provocative way and you can't even know your gaze to go to the bro social media
00:06:50.440
now let's put things into context because people are going to come and say why is the angels cursing
00:06:54.880
her let's let's put it into context yeah he comes home he's seen all that madness yeah he's that bro i
00:07:01.460
want to go to my wife and you know and there's a hadith of the process that supports it they said if you
00:07:05.700
go out and you see something that your desire is inclined go to your wife yeah it doesn't say go to
00:07:10.400
someone else go to your wife now now put things in the perspective as a muslim person because it's
00:07:15.040
not easy for someone to say oh but who cares um you know like it's an option i can just say you know
00:07:18.820
okay i'm going to go to my girlfriend or my side chick and just you know get it doesn't work like
00:07:22.200
that as a muslim we're bound by laws god almighty is legislated so therefore you're coming home now
0.99
00:07:26.920
and your your your wife you want to be intimate with her because you know you have these desires and
00:07:32.020
imagine she had the same and she says to you no now let's put the hadith into context
00:07:36.740
doesn't isn't that some kind of an oppression towards the husband if we put all that context
00:07:42.340
into the frame and say hold on a second here you're actually oppressing that person because
00:07:47.060
imagine for example if a wife came to the husband and said i want intimacy isn't that the right of a
0.96
00:07:52.880
woman that's so much so that a hadith of the prophet peace be upon him that a woman came and said i am
00:07:58.120
sexually satisfied did the did the prophet say how dare you as a woman you should not be sexually
0.71
00:08:02.900
satisfied go back to your husband i don't know if the hadith i'm not sure which one you're referring
00:08:07.000
to but the one i know the marriage oh yeah so this hadith is uh if if it wasn't for the fear of
00:08:16.620
allah i would have spat in his face yeah but what about the one where that one yeah that i don't
00:08:22.460
know that that one that's the one where i know the marriage yeah yeah okay this is interesting look
00:08:27.200
look look it's very important for us to emphasize on this yeah well you know why because for the
00:08:31.700
islamophobes out there the woman comes to the prophet peace be upon him says he's not sexually
00:08:35.800
satisfying me now she said that she didn't say he's not sexually she went further than that she said
0.95
00:08:40.760
if i if it wasn't for the fear of god i would have spat in his face can you imagine and you're
00:08:44.760
telling us that this is a man's religion yeah and she's going to the prophet of god and saying
00:08:49.140
i would have spat at my husband's face like big no no no you know why i'm being so graphic here
00:08:56.200
because to defeat this whole argument yeah i would have can you imagine the message of allah i would
00:09:01.160
have spat at my husband's face oh what does the prophet say does the prophet stop her yes how dare
00:09:05.700
you nothing did it stop her no no no he must have insulted her no no no hellfire hellfire no no
0.67
00:09:10.580
nothing like that what what did he say he gave her what she wanted really i'll give himself i'm
00:09:14.980
gonna leave that no but here's here's that's an important point actually i'm happy you raised it
00:09:19.540
but there's there is a part of the hadith that people feel uh men and women and everyone feel
00:09:24.780
upset about which is the fact that it's talking about a woman it's woman specific in the hadith yeah
00:09:28.720
that people need to understand something there are hadiths in the dozens in the dozens that reference men
00:09:35.500
only but also apply to women and sometimes they uh reference man only and don't don't even apply
00:09:41.620
to women okay if you're truthful so for instance if you're truthful for example there was a famous
00:09:49.360
hadith of the prophet was in the masjid yeah and um he was talking and basically he was saying about men
00:09:56.160
yeah uh that men the one who a man who go he started off talking about men then he talked about
00:10:02.460
women but he started off with a man and he said that a man who has intercourse with his wife a man
0.87
00:10:07.460
rajul who has intercourse with his wife and then he goes to his friends and starts talking about you
0.84
00:10:12.200
know sexual positions and what they've done in the bed yeah that this individual is basically like a
0.91
00:10:16.740
devil refer to him like a devil yeah so that's okay the word man is being used here but if if we want
00:10:22.460
to go further there's many hadiths like this i mean the way he's calling a man a devil yeah a specific
00:10:27.700
man that is doing a specific thing is like a devil he didn't have to be in the phrasing of
00:10:31.960
oh he's cursed but there's still some kind of what you call them or some blame yeah yeah and
00:10:37.420
moreover there's hadith for example a man who's like a youth doesn't enter a youth is male specific
00:10:45.160
it's a hadith that says allah will not look at him on the day yeah exactly you'll not look at him
00:10:48.960
well that's the youth is a man who's cuckold is is is like a translation but it's not really
00:10:55.400
it's it's not really a legitimate translation it's a man who doesn't mind his wife having
0.79
00:11:03.300
intercourse with other men basically or his sister or his mother yeah or yeah his wife or his sister
00:11:08.060
or woman focus so this is a man's specific kind of injunction here so they won't enter no one's
1.00
00:11:13.620
actually coming out and saying why is this hadith think about this for a second exactly why is there
00:11:17.500
not groups of people coming out if if if it was gender neutral as they claim it to be right
1.00
00:11:22.440
exactly why are not groups of men coming out so how come there's no such specific hadith
00:11:26.660
equivalent to women for women no you see what i mean exactly because if this day you thing is
1.00
00:11:31.980
and the the ghira or the protective jealousy is stressed for men then clearly if someone falters
00:11:38.360
if a man falters on that then he is punished more so than a woman right yeah so you can get instances
0.99
00:11:44.280
where because of the weakness of the human being has been created weak some men men physiologically
00:11:51.440
biologically or otherwise have certain weaknesses that are different to women and vice versa
1.00
00:11:55.380
so sometimes there can be a specific hadith that references specific punishments for specific
00:12:01.240
genders on specific issues exactly and that can be the case for man or woman exactly but if it was the
00:12:06.320
case if it was the case that islam only relegated these specific types of punishments and
00:12:13.840
consequences for women apart from men then you'd have a point but i can find you a dozen of hadiths
1.00
00:12:19.920
that mention i've just given you two or three but i can give you even the hadith which is talking
00:12:23.660
about for example for man the word man is used again if a man is entrusted with a secret rajul
00:12:29.420
yeah and then he goes back and it's in a manner now it's it's a trust he can't go to but obviously
00:12:34.400
this includes women as well yeah so this falls in a category of ahadith which references a man but
00:12:39.800
which includes the woman but which a man is mentioned right exactly there's lots of such hadiths
00:12:45.520
the fact that women are mentioned doesn't mean that man is now absolved from this in the sense
00:12:50.080
that now a man can um not give his wife her sexual rights or otherwise it doesn't mean that exactly
00:12:55.860
and like i said before and the hadith that i was talking about specifically which i clarified with
00:12:58.940
shaykh abu sofi as well is is the woman who came and said that basically she's not sexually satisfied
00:13:03.640
and the prophet and now the marriage so the thing is here and and a woman has a right to ask for
00:13:08.940
divorce if she's sexually not yani satisfied and this is islam so hope this dismantles and
0.85
00:13:15.480
destroys this whole uh discussion on this topic and as you can see guys there are individuals who
00:13:20.240
claim that they've lifted left islam because of this but when you deep deeper you realize that
0.73
00:13:24.280
the issue the issue it's never the issue is never with islam it's with the individual because these
00:13:29.900
if you dig deeper you can see that this clicker answer what would you have to say for this you're
00:13:33.880
going to ignore it but let me add another point this idea of because we started with this and i think
00:13:38.640
it's important to end with it as well which is the point of marital rape i mean if you look at
00:13:42.460
books of like kitab al-um of uh chef and i've also seen some treatises and fatawa going all the way
00:13:48.060
back to that for imams that rape is punishable by whipping and all these kinds of they mentioned
0.99
00:13:53.860
that in their books for if at that time they had milky ameen which is like the equivalent of a
00:13:58.860
concubine or not even a concubine like a uh um indentured servant let's call them yeah indentured servants
1.00
00:14:05.340
they had that in that time and they said if you rape an indentured servant that's under your
0.97
00:14:08.400
property yani then they would be then you should be flogged and a hundred whips and all those kind
1.00
00:14:14.300
imagine doing it to your wife and obviously the hadith of the prophet is there's no
00:14:18.700
harming or reciprocating harm which is a very generic hadith you can't harm if someone if a
00:14:23.220
woman doesn't want to have sex with a man okay honestly we're not saying this as as a means of
0.94
00:14:27.880
apologetics this actually has pastoral implications yeah if your wife don't want to have sex with you
0.85
00:14:32.680
with all due respect like that woman if she doesn't want to do that for over a span of let's
1.00
00:14:39.040
say a couple of weeks couple of months let's just say one week two weeks and she has no valid excuse
0.97
00:14:43.740
let's just say why are you with her still with all due respect if she doesn't want to have intercourse
0.68
00:14:47.960
with you you're unless there's okay that you're trying to arbitrate you're trying to solve the
00:14:52.920
issue but if she's not attracted and she's not like then really what you should be doing instead of
00:14:58.320
trying to force yourself and being a macho man all these kinds of things you know what but this
00:15:03.520
this kind of marriage is not going to you're right but for you to even say that who said that actually
00:15:07.320
happens in the like why has it become a muslim issue where have you heard this like the thing is
00:15:11.960
where did you get this from do you see how we're subconsciously yes subconsciously they're the same
00:15:17.400
thing but one is for hierarchy we're in the uh with the peasants the the subconscious mind is picked
0.77
00:15:23.080
up so much that as muslims we have to be like no no but what's it it's not even a muslim problem where
0.66
00:15:26.980
did you get this from that it's muslim man you know out in the hunt doing this you have a right
00:15:32.160
to divorce she can get a divorce guys we're gonna end on that i think we've destroyed this argument i
00:15:35.560
don't think anyone can come back yeah it's janazah from sisters hope you guys enjoyed this video
00:15:39.160
