Quote:
The family of someone who has obtained a visa to Western countries (or has citizenship) may be subjected to
attack. Some examples of this:
a. His child may be forced to study a Western curriculum (teaching kufr like evolution). If the father refuses to send his
child to the schools, his child will be taken from him by force and could be turned over to non-Muslim parents (a recent example exists)
b. A Muslim cannot compel his son or daughter to pray, fast, go on pilgrimage, or even
observe the laws of ritual purity. If he tries to compel them to do so or to implement, for
example, the tradition of the prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) that says,
"Command your sons to pray at seven years, and beat them for it at ten years," then his
renegade son or the son's renegade mother -- particularly if she is a non-Muslim -- or his
neighbor or the child's teacher can lodge a complaint against him. The child might be
taken from him and turned over to another family that might be non-Muslim.
c. His daughter cannot wear even a head covering, let alone a full hijab in the schools of
France. In some other countries the niqab [veil that covers the face] is outlawed.
d. If his daughter wants to go out to have fun in a nightclub with her boyfriend, he cannot
prevent her. If he tries, she can summon the police to punish him.
e. If his daughter brings her lover home, he has no right to prevent her. If he tries, she
may call the police for help to enable her to do what she wants.
f. If a Muslim in the West fears that his child may be corrupted and decides to emigrate
with him to Muslim lands and his Western wife objects, he will be forcibly prevented
from doing so, in addition to the punishments that may be imposed on him, such as
deportation or being forbidden even to approach his child's residence. The stories of this
are repeated and well-known.
g. A Muslim may not prevent his son or daughter from engaging in debauchery, drinking
alcohol, gambling, watching pornographic films, or listening to depraved music.
h. A Muslim may not object to his daughter's marrying whomever she wishes, even a
dissolute person or an non-believer.
i. If a Muslim marries a second wife, he will be punished, perhaps imprisoned, and they
will invalidate his marriage. This is an attack on his honor, by depriving him of his
legitimate right to his second wife. For this reason, Muslims marry a second wife secretly
and do not dare to announce the marriage or register it.
j. A Muslim may not carry out the Koranic provision against his wife if she is rebellious
toward him, abstains from his bed, or deprives him of his right to be chaste himself. He
who is Truth, may He be blessed and exalted, says: "And those you fear may be
rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you,
look not for any way against them; and God is All-high, All-great" [Koranic verse; Al-
Nisa 4:34]. If he tries to take his right without her consent, she has the right to prosecute
him for having "raped" her. If he tries to implement the Koranic provision of beating,
prison awaits him. (i am aware of the fiqh of "beating a wife" and the conditions involved and also for marital rape which isn't allowed in Islam but still does not constitute as 'the' rape in terms of hadd in a sharii court)
k. A Muslim husband or wife cannot prevent his or her partner from bringing alcohol into
the house or from watching depraved materials. If either of them objects out of concern
for the morals of the children, the police are waiting.
l. A Muslim may not prevent his wife, if she is not virtuous or a non-Muslim, from
befriending anyone she wishes, Muslim or non-Muslim, or from corresponding with him,
inviting him to the house, and mixing socially with him.
(m. a Muslim may not be allowed to go overseas to fight , as is commanded, to help fellow Muslims in need of help. Many recent examples exist)
