Jakarta –

Bad weather has hit most of Saudi Arabia recently. Heavy rain caused several areas to be inundated with water and cause severe flooding, a phenomenon that rarely occurs there.

The incident occurred on Monday (29/4/2024). Saudi Arabia’s National Meteorological Center (NCM) previously predicted bad weather would last for two weeks, from late April to early May 2024, reported Arab News.

Apart from this news, here are the most popular news and articles detikWisdom this week.

Two Signs that Allah SWT Raises Someone’s Degree

Every human being has his own level in the eyes of the Creator. Allah SWT says in Surah Al An’am verse 132,

132 And for each there are degrees for what they have done, and your Lord is not unaware of what they do. 132

Meaning: “Each person has a level, (according to) what they do. Your Lord is not unaware of what they do.”

Allah SWT has the power to raise the status of a servant. There are a number of signs that can be observed when Allah SWT does this. One of them is that a person will be tested with pain. This is said to be a form of concern and a sign of Allah SWT’s love for His servants.

How is the inheritance divided if the father dies and the mother is still alive?

The division of inheritance in Islam has been explained in detail in the Qur’an and hadith. In the event that the father dies, the distribution of inheritance needs to take into account the condition of the mother (father’s wife) and the children she left behind.

Explained in the book Sunnah jurisprudence Sayyid Sabiq’s work translated by Abdurrahim and Masrukhin, the wife gets 1/4 of the inheritance if there are no branch heirs and gets 1/8 if there are branch heirs, for example children.

Boys’ and girls’ shares of inheritance are also different. Boys are among the heirs who become ashabah. He can receive all the inheritance if he is an only child.

Saudi explains the types of visas that are not available for the 2024 Hajj

The government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires visas for pilgrims who will perform the Hajj in 2024. The authorities emphasize that only Hajj visas are allowed.

The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in its statement asserted that pilgrims who do not obtain a Hajj visa then their Hajj is illegal and that is prohibited.

“If you fail to obtain a Hajj visa, you may be subject to punishment because it is a violation of the law,” stressed the ministry via its social media X recently.

The ministry said some types of visas cannot be used for Hajj. “Visit visas, tourism, work, transit and other related visas,” he detailed.

Siri marriage is a marriage that is not recognized by the state. The understanding of unregistered marriage that is developing in Indonesia states that unregistered marriage is a marriage that is performed according to Islam, but is not recorded at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA).

The definition of unregistered marriage and the law itself is still a matter of dispute among Islamic school scholars. Malikiyah school scholars define unregistered marriage as a marriage ordered by the husband and the witnesses keep it a secret for the wife or congregation, even the family. In this view, keeping the marriage a secret is done to avoid unwanted things when announcing it.

Meanwhile, the Hanafiyah school of thought believes that a siri marriage is a marriage in which two witnesses cannot be present. If witnesses are present, then it cannot be said to be an unregistered marriage but rather an ‘alaniyah marriage that is known to the public. According to this school of thought, the law on unregistered marriage is haram because Rasulullah SAW ordered the spread of news about marriage.

The Ash-Shafi’iyah school of thought also does not allow the practice of unregistered marriage. They prefer broadcasting weddings.
