A hadith is mentioned below. I could not understand the last part of it .?
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 6: Narrated Al-Mughira: The Prophet said, "Allah has forbidden you ( 1 ) to be undutiful to your mothers (2) to withhold (what you should give) or (3) demand (what you do not deserve), and (4) to bury your daughters alive. And Allah has disliked that (A) you talk too much about others ( B), ask too many questions (in religion), or (C) waste your property." The Hadith mentioned above is from Sahih Bukhari.At the last part of this Hadith it is forbidden to ask too many question (in religion). why is it . How one can learn if they don't have any question.

- no it means try to poke around and expose things in islam with a different view, such as inquiring about hijab and then after finding some information about it saying that it means to cover the head for women when its actually the dress code for both men and women...or asking about jihad and telling others that its just holy war, while wearing hijab for a woman is indeed jihad as well as saving the life of another person by the way there is no way that this could mean not asking questions for knowledge..because prophet muhammad (pbuh) said" even take journey to china for knowledge..even though he had more religious knowledge, he still said go to china, because at that time china was the most modern country and it was making advancements...by going to china we would learn SECUALAR knowledge...so there is noway that we shouldnt go looking and seeking out for knowledge...and if you remember in the Qur'an Allah(swt) says "travel the world and discover........" yea...so i think you get the piont :P
- The point is they don't want you to learn they (all religions)just want you to blindly follow what they tell you.
- You should ask an islamic scholar The explanation I have heard is asking pointless questions which wont get you closer to God or which you have no intention of acting on the answers to .Also in his Mercy God has made unclear things we dont know about halal-if you ask a question it can lead to something being declared haram It isnt fobidden to ask questions if you dont know in fact its obligatory. BTW The original Arabic is beautiful and melodic Qeela wa Qaal Akthar Sual wal Israf al Maal
- were the parenthesis originally there? because there is a hadith that says that you should not ask to many questions about people, because it is not your business, and it causes back-bitting
- what AZIM SAID!!
- Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Hello. This last sentence is not an injunction against asking questions or learning. Indeed, an ignorant person cannot be pious because one has to understand the religion to properly follow it. There are, however, certain things that were not taught to us, and this is a mercy to us so that we would not have a religion that was too strict and thus fall into sin by not being able to follow the rules of Islam. For instance. The Prophet Muhammad, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, taught us about personal things, even intimate things such as the marital relations between a husband and a wife. He taught us that men are a cover for women and women are a cover for men, and what they do is permissible, with the only things not permissible being anal sex and sex during a woman's menstrual cycle or when she is bleeding post-childbirth. Some Companions were very keen to not do anything forbidden and they would ask specific questions about positions and times and manners, and even about things such as oral sex. The Prophet, pbuh, did not want them to ask such details, because if he answered those questions they would have the force of Islamic law, and if he answered that certan things were haraam, forbidden, this would be a hardship for his followers and they would not be able to uphold the ruling out of weakness. So he told them not to ask too much lest they be put into hardship. I hope this clarifies the hadith for you. It is not to keep us from learning, but it is to spare us from getting lost in minutiae and getting away from the heart of our faith. And Allah knows best. May Allah guide you to the best in this world and the next. Ameen. Fi Aman Allah, Nancy Umm Abdel Hamid
