In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Allah [The Exalted] said:
هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُّحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ ۖ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ ۗ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۗ وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
It is He Who has sent down to you the Book [this Qur’an]. In it are Verses that are Muhkamaat [entirely clear, and those are the Verses of commandments, obligatory duties, and laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers, etc.] and they the foundations of the Book; and others are Mutashaabihaat [i.e. not entirely clear in what they indicate, so they are to be referred back to the Muhkamaat to be explained]. So, as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials, etc.), and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings except Allaah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: ‘’We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord.” And none receive admonition except men of understanding.’’ [Surah Aal Imraan. Aayah 7] Aa’isha [may Allaah be pleased with her] said: The Messenger said, “If you see those who follow thereof that is not entirely clear, then they are those whom Allah has named (as having deviation from the truth) so beware of them”. [Bukhaari Number 4547]
Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] stated: Allaah [Glorified and Exalted be He] warned against Ahlul Bidah and clarified for us that they are people of desires and that they follow Mutashaabihaat [i.e. texts that are not entirely clear in what they indicate, so they are referred back to other texts to be explained] and they abandon the Muhkamaat [i.e. texts that are very clear]. Allaah clarified that they have desires and deviations with them and that they intend to misguide themselves and other people! (1)
Muhammad Hijaab attempted to defend his actions by using a hadith, a story that is essentially a refutation against him when he received criticism for his question to married youngsters about how frequently they engage in sexual activity with their spouses. The hadith he quoted can be found in Sahih Al-Bukhari “Book of Prescribe Punishments” under the Chapter: Can a ruler say to the one who confesses his crime of adultery, “Can’t be that you have only touched the lady or winked at her?” Ibn Abbaas [may Allah be pleased with him and his father] reported that when Ma’iz Bin Malik [may Allaah be pleased with him] came to the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] (in order to confess), the Prophet said to him, “Probably you have only kissed (the lady), or winked, or looked at her?” He said, “No, O Allah’s Messenger! The Prophet said, using no euphemism, “Did you have sexual intercourse with her?” The narrator added: At that, (i.e. after his confession) the Prophet ordered that he be stoned. [Hadith number 6824]
Muhammad used this hadith to support his claim that he might inquire of married youngsters how frequently they engage in sexual activity each week. First of all, it is obvious to any sensible person that this hadith refers to a person going to the ruler to confess to Zina. That will be evident to anyone who revisits the explanations of the scholars. [Refer to Fat’hul Baari Sharh Saheeh Al-Bukhaari Vol 12, page165-166. Publisher Daarus Salaam. 1st Edition 1421AH (the Year 2000)]
Therefore, no sane individual would try to compare asking married young people how often they have sex with their spouses to hearing someone confess to a ruler that they committed Zina! What a person does in the bedroom with his or her spouse is a bedroom secret, whereas what another person discloses to the ruler regarding Zina is something else entirely. Asma Bint Yazid [may Allaah be pleased with her] reported that she was with Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him], while men and women were sitting with him. The Prophet said, “Perhaps a man will say what he did in his house? Perhaps a woman will tell what she did with her husband?” The people sat in embarrassed silence, so I said, “By Allah, the women say so and the men do so.” The Prophet said, “Do not do so. Verily, that is like a male devil and female devil fornicating in the street while people watch.” [Saheeh at-Targheeb 2022]
Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri [may Allaah be pleased with him] reported that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him], said, “Verily, the evilest of people in the presence of Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man who was intimate with his wife and then spreads her secrets.” [Ṣaḥeeh Muslim 1437]
Muhammad’s comparison of the two circumstances is therefore falsehood; rather, it is a deliberate false interpretation. “Al-Hukmu Alaa Shay’in Far’un An Tasawwurihee – Making a judgment must be (firmly related to and based) on knowledge of the matter”. Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, “You should only pass judgment on something after fully understanding it, ensuring that your judgment is in line with the reality of the situation. And if this is not done, a significant error occurs”.[An Excerpt from Sharh Al-Usool Min Ilm Al-Usool. page 604]
Muhammad concludes by stating that the respondents to his survey are anonymous! Indeed, can someone violate a prohibition (by disclosing bedroom secrets) and then claim that what they are doing is permissible as long as it is done in private? This is another deception that is presented as fact. In fact, whether the offender violates a prohibition in private or secret, Allah knows, sees, and hears everything. Has Muhammad and the respondents not come across the supplication:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ،
I ask You (O Allah) to grant me (the blessing of having) fear of You in private and public; And I ask you (to make me utter) a statement of truth in times of contentment and anger].

Muhammad’s corrupt suggestion is hardly unexpected, though, as what else would one expect from someone who openly advocates bidah, a bigger crime? Promoting bidah is worse than encouraging young people to violate a prohibition – in private- by disclosing their bedroom secrets for a survey. He abandons a clear text and clings to doubts and desires! Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: “Whoever follows the desires of the people after (clarification) of the knowledge that Allah has revealed to His Messenger and the guidance He has made clear for His slaves, then he (i.e. such a person) has a resemblance (to those regarded as followers of desires). Because of this, the pious predecessors dubbed those who oppose the Qur’an and the true Prophetic path Ahlul Ahwaa [the people of desires] because they accept what they love and reject what they hate based on their desires without guidance from Allah. [An Excerpt from Majmoo Al-Fataawaa 4/189-190]
Therefore, we remind the youth to be cautious of these callers to desires. The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him]:
فإنه من يعش منكم فسيرى اختلافا، فعليكم بسنتي
Indeed the one who lives long amongst you will see differences; so upon you is to (adhere) to my Sunnah”. Imaam Abu Haatim [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: This is unequivocal proof that the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] enjoined his Ummah to identify unreliable narrators among them and tell them apart from reliable narrators. This is due to the fact that the Sunnah cannot be followed together with the lies and deceit that are mixed in with it without first identifying the unreliable narrators and telling them apart from the reliable ones.[Muqaddimah Kitaab Al-Majrooheem Minal Muhadditheen By Imaam Ibn Hibbaan. Page 66]
Allaah [The Most High] said:
وَكَذَٲلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّ۬ا شَيَـٰطِينَ ٱلۡإِنسِ وَٱلۡجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعۡضُهُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ۬ زُخۡرُفَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ غُرُورً۬اۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُۖ فَذَرۡهُمۡ وَمَا يَفۡتَرُونَ
And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies – Shayaateen (devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord had so willed, they would not have done it, so leave them alone with their fabrications.” [Soorah Al-An’aam: Ayah 112]
Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: They support one another in defying the Prophets’ orders with what some of them inspire others by way of ornamented speech, which leads to the deception of the credulous and feeble-minded. Allah explained the motivation behind a perpetrator’s (adorned speech) as well as the reasons why the people accept it, and He then indicated [in ayah 113 Al-An’aam] the consequences it has on those ignorant souls. When they gravitate towards such embellished discourse and find pleasure in it, they obey its demands—both verbally and physically. Reflect on these verses and the profound meanings they offer as a result because they expose the foundations of false principles and warn people away from them. Furthermore, if you reflect on the claims made by those who hold falsehoods, you will discover that they are in fact dressed in expressions and presented in a favourable light with sophisticated terms, which are quickly accepted by those lacking in sound discernment—to the point where the wicked sinners would give [good] names to the worst kinds of wicked deeds. [An Excerpt from As-Sawaa-iq al-Mursalah. 2/438)]
Muhammad Hijaab seduces married Muslim youth into disclosing bedroom secrets and embellishes the affair with a hadith to raise questions and defend the deed on the grounds that it is done in private and for the purpose of survey! We ask Allah to keep us away from temptation and evil desires, and we ask Allah saying:
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي
وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ
O Allah! Rectify my religion for me, which is the safeguard of my affairs; rectify my worldly [affairs], wherein is my livelihood; and rectify my Afterlife to which is my return, and make life for me [as a means of] increase in every good and make death for me as a rest from every evil. [Saheeh Muslim Number: 2720]:
O Allaah! Rectify My Religion For Me, Which The Safeguard of My Affairs – [A Tremendous Supplication]
[اللهم كما حَسَّنْت خَلْقِي فَحَسِّنْ خُلُقِي – O Allah! Just as You made my external form beautiful, make my character beautiful as well]. https://salaficentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Admonitions-of-The-Scholars-Regarding-Good-Manners.pdf
