So he has to read Aayat al-Kursi over himself,

خانت زوجها وسحرته وانقلب على أهله
She betrayed her husband and put a spell on him, and he turned against his family

لقد تزوج ابني بامرأة سوء عملت له سحراً ،
My son married a bad woman who put a spell on him,


فانقلب على أهله جميعاً ،
as a result of which he turned against his whole family,


وصار لا يرد لها أي طلب مهما كان
and he would not refuse any demand she made,
no matter what it was

. وقد قبضت هيئة الأمر بالمعروف عليها هي وعشيقها

The Society for Enjoining the Good caught her with her lover,

وثبتت تلك الجريمة عليها

and it was proven that she had committed this crime

، ومع ذلك فابني رفض طلاقها ودائماً يدافع عنها .
Yet despite that my son refused to divorce her and he always defends her

ودخلنا بيتها فوجدنا أشياء غريبة

We entered her house and found some weird things

فقد وجدنا حذاء موضوعاً على كتاب الله
We found a shoe placed on top of the Book of Allaah

فوق الدولاب ( والعياذ بالله )
on top of the wardrobe (we seek refuge with Allaah), 1

وعندها خادمات من بلاد يعرفون بالسحر .
She has female servants from a land where they are known for witchcraft

مما جعلنا نقطع أنها سحرت ابني
This made us certain that she had bewitched my son,

ليقرأ عليه

فظهرت عليه علامات السحر .
and the signs of having been bewitched were found on him


وهو الآن يرفض العلاج

Now he is refusing any treatment

he is now demanding that we give him his share of his father’s estate

وهذه المرأة قد سلبت جميع أمواله
This woman took all his money

وضيعتها على السحر والشعوذة ،
and spent it on witchcraft and trickery


لا شك أن ما أصاب ابنكم هو من البلاء لكم ،
No doubt what has happened to your son is a trial for you,

ونسأل الله تعالى أن يصبِّركم ،
and we ask Allaah to grant you patience

ويثبتكم على دينه
and make you steadfast in adhering to His religion;

، كما نسأل الله له الشفاء ،
and we ask Him to heal your son

والظاهر أنه واقع تحت تأثير السحر
It is obvious that he has fallen prey to the effects of witchcraft

، فلا ينبغي لكم مؤاخذته على تصرفاته معكم ،
so you should not blame him for the way in which he treats you

ولا يرضى عاقل أن يعلم عن امرأته بشيء مما فعلته
No rational person would be content to learn of any of the things that his wife has done

ويسكت عنها
and remain silent about them

وعليكم ملازمة الدعاء
And you have to constantly make du’aa’

مع استعمال العلاج
whilst using this remedy,

لعل الله تعالى أن يكشف عنه البأس والضر

that Allaah may relieve him of this distress and harm



يتوقف دفع حق ولدكم من الميراث على حسن تصرفه بالمال
Whether your son should be given his share of the inheritance depends on whether he will dispose of the money properly

، فإن كان المال سيقع في يده أو يد زوجته
If the money will fall into his hands or his wife’s hands

ولن يحسنا التصرف فيه :
and they will never dispose of it properly,

فلا يجوز لكم تمكينه من المال ،
then it is not permissible for you to let him have the money;

وليبقَ معكم ،
you should keep it with you

ولتنفقوا عليه وعلى أبنائه منه ،
and spend on him and his children from it

وهو أمانة في أيديكم
This is a trust which has been given to you,

لا ينبغي لكم التفريط فيه
and you should not be careless about it


قال الله تعالى : ( وَلا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهَاءَ أَمْوَالَكُمُ
“And give not unto the foolish your property

الَّتِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ قِيَامًا
which Allaah has made a means of support for you,

وَارْزُقُوهُمْ فِيهَا وَاكْسُوهُمْ
but feed and clothe them therewith,

وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ قَوْلا مَعْرُوفًا
and speak to them words of kindness and justice

وَابْتَلُوا الْيَتَامَى
And try orphans (as regards their intelligence) 1

حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغُوا النِّكَاحَ
until they reach the age of marriage;

فَإِنْ آَنَسْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ رُشْدًا
if then you find sound judgement in them,

فَادْفَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ
release their property to them,

وَلا تَأْكُلُوهَا إِسْرَافًا وَبِدَارًا
but consume it not wastefully and hastily


أَنْ يَكْبَرُوا
fearing that they should grow up,

وَمَنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ

and whoever (amongst guardians) is rich, he should take no wages,

وَمَنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable (according to his labour).1

فَإِذَا دَفَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ
And when you release their property to them,

فَأَشْهِدُوا عَلَيْهِمْ
take witness in their presence;

وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا )
and Allaah is All‑Sufficient in taking account”1


قال الشيخ عبد الرحمن السعدي :


{ السفهاء } جمع " سفيه "
Sufaha’ [translated here as “the foolish”] is the plural of safeeh,

وهو : من لا يحسن التصرف في المال
which refers to one who is unable to dispose of money properly,

، إما لعدم عقله ,
either because he has no powers of reasoning,

كالمجنون والمعتوه , ونحوهما ،
such as one who is insane or feeble-minded, etc,

وإما لعدم رشده ,
or because he is lacking in wisdom,

كالصغير وغير الرشيد ،
such as a child and one who is immature

فنهى الله الأولياء أن يؤتوا هؤلاء أموالهم ,
Allaah has forbidden guardians to give such people their wealth,

خشية إفسادها وإتلافها ،
for fear that they will destroy it and waste it,

لأن الله جعل الأموال قياماً لعباده ,
and because Allaah has made wealth means of support for His slaves,

في مصالح دينهم ودنياهم ،
in their religious and worldly interests

وهؤلاء لا يحسنون القيام عليها وحفظها
These people will not look after it properly and guard it,

، فأمر الله الولي أن لا يؤتيهم إياها
so Allaah has commanded their guardians not to give it to them,

بل يرزقهم منها
rather they should provide for them from it,

, ويكسوهم , ويبذل منها ,
clothing them and spending on them from it,

ما يتعلق بضروراتهم وحاجاتهم الدينية والدنيوية
and taking care of their religious and worldly needs

, وأن يقولوا لهم قولاً معروفاً ,
And they should speak to them words of kindness and justice,

بأن يعِدوهم إذا طلبوها
by promising them, when they ask for it,

أنهم سيدفعونها لهم بعد رشدهم , ونحو ذلك ,.
that they will give it to them after they become mature and so on

ويلطفوا لهم في الأقوال
They should speak to them kindly

, جبراً لخواطرهم
to soften their hearts

، وفي إضافته تعالى الأموال إلى الأولياء
The fact that Allaah gives control of the wealth to the guardians

إشارة إلى أنه يجب عليهم أن يعملوا في أموال السفهاء , ما يفعلونه في أموالهم
indicates that they are obliged to take care of the wealth of the foolish just as well as they would take care of their own wealth,


, من الحفظ , والتصرف , وعدم التعرض للأخطار
guarding it, disposing of it properly and not exposing it to danger


وفي الآية دليل على أن نفقة المجنون والصغير والسفيه , في مالهم
This verse indicates that the cost of spending on the insane, the young and the foolish
should come from their own wealth,

, إذا كان لهم مال لقوله

if they have wealth,

( وَارْزُقُوهُمْ فِيهَا وَاكْسُوهُمْ ) . " تفسير السعدي " .
because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “but feed and clothe them therewith” (v. 5).1


وينبغي رفع الأمر إلى المحكمة الشرعية

This matter should be referred to the shar’i court

وإقامة البينة
and proof should be established

على أن هذا الولد لا يحسن التصرف في ماله
that this son cannot handle his money properly,

، حتى تقوم المحكمة بالحجر عليه
so that the court will prevent him from accessing it

وتعين ولي على ماله
and will appoint a guardian to look after his money

Outward physical acts are not valid and acceptable


إلا بِتَوَسُّطِ عَمَلِ الْقَلْبِ فَإِنَّ الْقَلْبَ

unless they are accompanied by appropriate actions of the heart,

مَلِكٌ وَالأَعْضَاءُ جُنُودُهُ ،

because the heart is like the king and the physical faculties are like his troops

فَإِذَا خَبُثَ الْمَلِكُ خَبُثَتْ جُنُودُهُ ;
If the king is evil his troops will also be evil


وَلِهَذَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم : { أَلا وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ }

“In the body there is a piece of flesh: if it is sound the whole body will be sound and if it is corrupt then the whole body will be corrupt.” 9


وَكَذَلِكَ أَعْمَالُ الْقَلْبِ لا بُدَّ أَنْ تُؤَثِّرَ فِي عَمَلِ الْجَسَدِ
Similarly the (hidden) actions of the heart inevitably affect the (visible) physical actions

وَإِذَا كَانَ الْمُقَدَّمُ هُوَ الأَوْجَبُ [ سَوَاءٌ ]
So precedence must be given to that which is more obligatory,

سُمِّيَ بَاطِنًا أَوْ ظَاهِرًا

whether it is called inward or outward


فَقَدْ يَكُونُ مَا يُسَمَّى بَاطِنًا أَوَجَبَ
Perhaps things that are called inward may be more obligatory

مِثْلُ تَرْكِ الْحَسَدِ وَالْكِبْرِ
such as refraining from destructive envy and arrogance,

فَإِنَّهُ أَوَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نَوَافِلِ الصِّيَامِ

for that is more essential than observing supererogatory fasts


وَقَدْ يَكُونُ مِمَّا سُمِّيَ ظَاهِرًا أَفْضَلَ :
Or acts that are described as outward or physical may be better,

مِثْلُ قِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ
such as qiyaam al-layl (praying at night), 9


فَإِنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مُجَرَّدِ تَرْكِ بَعْضِ الْخَوَاطِرِ الَّتِي تَخْطُرُ فِي الْقَلْبِ

which is better than simply giving up some thoughts that may cross one's mind

مِنْ جِنْسِ الْغِبْطَةِ

such as (non-destructive) jealousy,


وَنَحْوِهَا وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ عَمَلِ الْبَاطِنِ وَالظَّاهِرِ
etc. Inward and outward deeds


يُعِينُ الآخَرَ
support one another,

وَالصَّلاةُ تَنْهَى عَنْ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ

and prayer keeps one from doing evil actions

وَتُورِثُ الْخُشُوعَ
and generates fear of Allaah,

وَنَحْوَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ الآثَارِ الْعَظِيمَةِ :

and has other important effects

هِيَ أَفْضَلُ الأَعْمَالِ وَالصَّدَقَةُ



It (prayer) is the best of good deeds and charity
