    Hukum Membuat Dapur Kubur dan Tanya MUIS

    Soalan
    Baru2 ini ada satu keluarga yg kematian ibunya, sebahgian adik beradik mahukan agar kubur ibunya itu dibina dapur seperti yg dilakukan ke atas kebanyakkan kubur2 yg berada di tanah perkuburan sedang sebahgian tidak bersetuju

    Terjadi semacam pertelingkahan dikalangan adik beradik tersebut dan ada di antara mereka katanya telah menghubungi Hotline Muis dan diberi tahu oleh ‘ustaz’ yg menjawab agar jangan terpengaruh dengan asatizah yg diluar sana yg telah ‘rusak’ akidahnya dengan mengatakan ini bid’ah itu bid’ah dan membuat dapur di atas kubur pun bid’ah!

    Kesimpulan katanya, ‘ustaz Muis’ mengatakan boleh sahaja membelanjakan duit utk membina dapur kuburan.

    Saya menjawab masalah ini dengan 2 kenyataan.

    Pertama: Jika benar adanya ‘ustaz Muis’ yg berkata sebegitu maka “celakalah” ke atas ‘ustaz’ tersebut! Jika engkau membuat kenyataan sedemikian berdasarkan kejahilan maka seharusnya engkau tidak layak utk berada ditempat sedemikian utk mengelirukan dan menyesatkan orang lain. Jika engkau mengatakan sedemikian adalah kerana mahu menyembunyikan kebenaran dan haq, maka itu lebih celaka lagi!

    Sila renungkan salah satu hadits antara banyak2 hadits yg menyebut tentang larangan meninggikan kubur melebihi sejengkal.

    Makruh tahrim meninggikan kubur dan membuat binaan di atasnya sebagaimana yang dibuat oleh kebanyakan orang hari ini. Menurut sunnah bahawa kubur tidak boleh ditinggikan melebihi sejengkal dari paras tanah. Hal ini berdasarkan hadith, daripada Ali bin Abu Talib RA, katanya, Abu al-Hayyaj al-Asadiy berkata:

    أَلاَّ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لاَ تَدَعَ تِمْثَالاً إِلاَّ طَمَسْتَهُ وَلاَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلاَّ سَوَّيْتَهُ

    Maksudnya: “Aku menyampaikan pesanan Rasulullah SAW kepadaku bahawa jangan ditinggalkan patung-patung kecuali setelah engkau hancurkannya, begitu juga dengan kubur yang binaannya tinggi kecuali setelah engkau ratakannya.”

    Kedua: Jika kenyataan yg sedemikian adalah dia’yah sebahgian adik beradik keluarga tersebut utk menurut hawa nafsu mereka dengan cara menfitnah MUIS maka celakalah ke atas orang yg telah membuat fitnah tersebut.

    Nota Tambahan
    Dalam kitab al-majmu’, an-Nawawi Rahimahullah dengan jelas mengatakan:

    قال أصحابنا رحمهم الله : ولا فرق فى البناء بين أن يبنى قبة أو بيتا أو غيرهما ، ثم ينظر فإن كانت مقبرة مسبلة حرم عليه ذلك ، قال أصحابنا ويهدم هذا البناء بلا خلاف… وإن كان القبر فى ملكه جاز بناء ما شاء مع الكراهة ولا يهدم عليه
    Ertinya: Sahabat-sahabat kami Rahimahumullah berkata: “Tidak ada beza dalam membina binaan itu di antara membina kubah atau rumah atau selain keduanya. Kemudian hendaklah diperhatikan, jika tanah perkuburan itu adalah perkuburan musabbalah (tanah perkuburan orang awam) adalah haram ke atasnya berbuat sedemikian: Sahabat-sahabat kami berkata (lagi): “Dan hendaklah dirobohkan binaan tersebut tanpa ada pertikaian (para sahabat-sahabat kami)… (Al-Majmu’: 5/260)

    Hukum haram mendirikan sebarang binaan yang tersebut di atas juga adalah berdasarkan kepada hadits Jabir Radhiallahu ‘anhu katanya:

    نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يجصص القبر وأن يقعد عليه وأن يبنى عليه
    (رواه مسلم)

    Maksudnya: Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wassalam menegah daripada diplaster kubur dan diduduki di atasnya serta dibina binaan di atasnya.

  • Yishun Neighbours Build Wall To Keep Out Pesky Neighbour

    Yishun Neighbours Build Wall To Keep Out Pesky Neighbour

    An elderly neighbour in Yishun who has been dumping toilet paper, sanitary pads, dark sauce and urine on the doors of two other households has come up against a wall.

    Like, literally.

    As deterrence, the two households at Block 112 Yishun Ring Road have taken to building a wall with cacti on it to keep out the elderly neighbour from the lower floor.

    The harassment has allegedly been carried out daily for two years. Various other measures, such as installing surveillance cameras and lodging police reports, have failed to deter the sunglasses-donning culprit.

    According to Lianhe Zaobao, the two families decided to built a wall to keep out the elderly neighbour.

    The wall initially had durian husks lined along the top but they started to smell after a few days. They were removed and changed to cacti.

    The improvised wall had metal pieces and pipes attached.

    The wall was completed on March 3, 2017, with added fortifications.

    Previously, the wall was made of chairs and and boards.

    A 61-year-old man who built the wall, said:

    I recycled most of the materials used for the wall and completed it in five hours.

    I picked up the wooden planks, pipes, and various other items outside.

    As for the cacti, I grow them on my corridors, and they came in handy.

    I tried using durian husks for a while, but found that they stank after a few days, so I changed them to cacti instead.

    The man also said the wall has managed to keep the harassing neighbour at bay, as she can only throw rubbish and liquids from a distance and cannot get close.

    The man also appealed to the authorities to step in.

  • 3 Generals With No Experience Given Permanent Secretary Roles

    3 Generals With No Experience Given Permanent Secretary Roles

    Despite having zero relevant experience, 3 army general cronies of the ruling party government were appointed ministerial permanent secretaries roles as their next promotion. The former Chief of Navy, Rear-admiral (RADM) Lai Chung Han, is appointed Second Permanent Secretary under the Ministry of Education. RADM Lai Chung Han has never been in a teaching position or work with education institutes before, but his appointment will give him power to draft education policies.

    Another army general crony, Lieutenant-General Neo Kian Hong, the former Chief of Defence Force from the Singapore Armed Force, who is currently Permanent Secretary for Education Development will be appointed Permanent Secretary for Defence Development.

    The third army general crony, is the current Permanent Secretary for Defence Development, Major-General Ng Chee Khern from the Air Force. He will be promoted to be the Chairman of Government Technology Agency (GovTech) and also serve as the Permanent Secretary (Smart Nation and Digital Government) for the Prime Minister’s Office.

    None of the army generals have any experience in ministerial portfolios. The Singapore government is increasingly becoming a military junta with 6 former army generals appointed as Ministers, including the Prime Minister himself who was a Brigadier-General.

    Singapore army generals have recently took the spotlight due to the collapse of government-owned corporations, SMRT and Neptune Orient Line (NOL). The latter’s failure was more conspicuous as the new management immediately turned NOL profitable after 4 years of straight losses under former army general Ng Yat Chung.

    Cronyism and legalised corruption are major stumbling obstacles for Singapore as the Prime Minister dictator values loyalty over competency when choosing government ministers and high ranking civil servants.

  • Local Boys Rap To Remind Singaporeans To Stop Abusing Ofo Bikes

    Local Boys Rap To Remind Singaporeans To Stop Abusing Ofo Bikes

    By now, it is unusual if we do not hear or read about another ofo bike being abused by Singaporeans who cannot seem to fathom the concept of sharing.

    Stomp has compiled countless reports of ofo bikes being damaged, dismantled, painted and kept by users in their own homes.

    Ofo is one of three companies offering bicycle sharing services for the public here.

    Netizens have slammed the selfish behaviour of these users who are not working to make the concept work with others.

    Now, a group of boys have come up with a catchy rap about the ofo bike.

    Stomper Fauzi alerted us to the video posted on Twitter.

    Although they obviously came up with the fun ditty for laughs, the rap has some good points.

    Titled, “Mencari ofo” or Looking for ofo, it starts off with how the boy rapping rides the ofo to school.

    He says that the yellow hue of the bike is easy to spot but unfortunately, people like to throw it.

    He gets a headache from trying to find an ofo bike because they are being kept at staircase landings and even inside homes instead of at accessible public areas.

    He then ends by rapping how he searches for the elusive ofo bikes until the break of dawn.

    The rap has garnered over 2,100 retweets and 1,100 likes so far.
