QUESTION
Assalamualaikum ustadz🙏
Permission to ask again ustadz🙏
Is it despicable the exclamations that are often chanted by Shiite congregations such as:
“Yes Hussein”
“Labbaika yes Husein”
Labbaika, Khamainie
And the others?.?
ANSWER
Wa’alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
Labaika means “we welcome your call”.
The scholars divide it into two parts:
– If the caller is still alive.
For example, like the Messenger of Allah ﷺ calling his friend and the friend answered: “Labaika O Rasulullah”, then all the scholars agreed on his abilities. This not only applies to the Prophet ﷺ, but also to others. Like a teacher calling his student, then the student answers “Labaika ya Ustadzi”.
In fact, this is sunnah. Imam An Nawawi said in Al Majmu’ Syarh Al Muhadzdzab:
It is advisable to answer someone who calls you, “Balbek”, and say to the person who called him: “Hello” or something like that. And say to people who have done good to him or done good: May Allah protect you or may Allah reward you for your kindness and the like, and there is no harm in saying to people who have great knowledge or are pious and the like: May Allah make me your ransom. The evidence for all this in the authentic hadith is well known
It is sunnah to answer someone who calls you with “labbaik”. And it is also sunnah to say to people who come to him: “marhaban” (welcome) or something like that.
It is also sunnah to say to people who do good or give kindness: “Hafizhakallaah” (may Allah protect you) or “jazaakallaahu khayran” (may God reward you for your kindness) and the like.
It is permissible to say to people who have a high position in knowledge or piety and the like: “ja’alani Allahu fidaak” (may Allah make me your ransom).
Evidence of all this is found in well-known authentic hadiths. (Finished)
– If addressed to the deceased
Like the saying “Labaika ya Rasulullah”, in this era when Rasulullah ﷺ has died, especially to other than Rasulullah ﷺ such as to Husein.
This is denied by the ulama, some say it is not permissible, and is included in the category of polytheism because it is considered to ask for help from other than Allah, namely from people who have died even though they are prophets. If only it was forbidden to the Prophet ﷺ, let alone other people.
Al Mu’allimi said:
Any worship must be directed to God alone, without partners. Whoever spends part of it for other than Allah; Like people who pray to other than Allah, or make sacrifices or make vows to other than Allah, or ask for help or ask for help from people who have died, people who are not present, or living people who are present in something that only Allah can do; He has committed great polytheism, and has committed a sin that cannot be forgiven except through repentance, whether the worship is directed at idols, trees, stones, prophets, or saints, living or dead.
“Any kind of worship must be offered only to Allah alone, without any partner to Him. Whoever diverts even a little of that worship to other than Allah – such as praying to other than Allah, or making sacrifices or making vows to other than Allah, or asking for help (isti’anah) or interceding for dead people, absent people, or living people who are present in things that cannot be done except by Allah – then he has committed great shirk, and committed a sin that is not forgiven except by Allah. repentance is a form of worship to idols, trees, stones, prophets of prophets, or saints of saints, whether living or dead.” (Quoted by Fatawa Asy Syabakah Al Islamiyah no. 156643)
The second opinion says that this is permissible, if the intention is to ask them for help according to their rights and as a prayer to Allah with tawassul to him.
Imam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
Seeking help means asking Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam and his family about what is appropriate for their position and no Muslim will dispute that. Whoever denies this meaning is a disbeliever if he denies what he disbelieves, or he is a misguided and misguided person.
“Istighatsah (asking for help) means asking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for something that is in accordance with his position, not even a single Muslim debates it. And whoever debates this meaning, then he can become an infidel if he denies something that causes disbelief, or he is a person who is confused and misguided.”
(Majmu’ Al Fatawa, 1/112)
Imam Ibnush Salah explains:
Not limited to what was found in his time, may blessings and blessings be upon his family, but will continue to be renewed afterwards, blessings and blessings be upon his family, in the following times. This is due to the honor of the saints of his people, may the prayers and greetings of Allah be upon him and his family, and the answers of those who pray to him in their needs and relief after their prayers in their difficulties, are convincing evidence of him, may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him and his family, and his miracles are clear, and cannot be counted and cannot be limited to anyone. May Allah protect us from the error of his religion, and make us among those who receive guidance who are guided by his guidance and his Sunnah.
“Indeed, it is not limited to what happened during his time ﷺ, in fact it continues to be updated after he ﷺ along with the changing times. This is because of the generosity of the guardians of his people ﷺ, as well as the granting of the prayers of those who prayed for him who were in need and their requests for help after praying for him in difficulties, is strong evidence for him ﷺ and a real miracle. The number cannot be counted and cannot be limited in number. May Allah protect us from deviation from his teachings, and make us among those who receive guidance and give guidance with guidance and sunnah.”
(Adabul Mufti wal Mustafti, p. 210)
In Darul Ifta Al Mishriyyah:
The statement that asking for help from prophets, saints, and pious people who have died or are absent is polytheism is wrong. This is rejected on the basis of rational and transmissional evidence, and requires that the majority of Muslims, both past and present, be considered infidels. It is not appropriate to draw conclusions from verses that mention worship other than God. Because his approach was the same as the Khawarij, whose companions were guided by the verses mentioned in declaring that the polytheists were infidels by worshiping other than Allah, and they revealed them to the Muslims in their requests to the prophets and pious people and asked for their help.
“The claim that istighatsah (asking for help) from the prophets, saints and pious people – who have died or who are not present – is shirk, is a false claim; it is refuted by the arguments of reason and texts. The consequence is to disbelieve the vast majority of Muslims, both previous and recent generations.
Arguing this with verses that talk about worship other than God is also incorrect; because that is the way of the Khawarij, that is, they take the verses of revelation about the polytheists’ disbelief because they worship other than Allah, then apply it to Muslims in the case of tawassul to the prophets and pious people and istighatsah to them.” (Fatwa no. 6976)
Thus. Wallahu A’lam

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
