There is Islam and there are things permissible in Islam.
Islam = Quran / Sunnah.
Permissible = Anythng not prohibited in Islam.
Miswak/Siwak = Sunnah = Islam.
Tooth brush = not sunnah = but despite it permissible = (because) it is not prohibited.
Permissibility is not based on explicits texts of Quran, or prophetic teaching permissibility is based on something not being prohibited.
There is: (1) Fard, (2) Sunnah, (3) Mubah i.e. permissible. For the first two, Fard, and Sunnah text from Quran and Hadith is needed. In other words if I say demolishing a church, making it into toilets is Fard/Sunnah. Then I will need to support it with evidence of Quran/Sunnah. Because what I have done by saying that is - indirectly I have said this is what Allah instrcted in Quran and Prophet saw, did, or spoke in support of. So I need to provide evidence.
I said, it is permissible and not prohibted. I give you evidence for it being permitted and you quote me texts of Quran/Hadith saying it is prohibited.
“What Allah has made lawful in His Book is halal and what He has forbidden is haram, and that concerning which He is silent is allowed as His favor. So accept from Allah His favor, for Allah is not forgetful of anything. He then recited, "And thy Lord is not forgetful." [
Ref: Musnad Al Bazzar]
“Allah has prescribed certain obligations for you, so do not neglect them; He has defined certain limits, so do not transgress them; He has prohibited certain things do do not do them; and He has kept silent concerning about other things out of mercy for you, and not because of forgetfulness, so do not ask questions concerning them.” [
Ref: Sunan Darqutni]
“It was narrated that Salman Al-Farisi said: “The Messenger of Allah was asked about ghee, cheese and wild donkeys. He said: ‘What is lawful is that which Allah has permitted, in His Book and what is unlawful is that which Allah has forbidden in His Book. What He remained silent about is what is pardoned.’” [
Ref: Ibn Majah, B29, H3367]
What these Ahadith say is Halal and Haram are clearly stated in Quran and Sunnah. And what is not prohibited/permitted is Mubah (i.e. allowed as mercy and Allah has remained silent on them). I said it is permissible. And why making a church into toilets is permissible is because it is not prohibited in Quran and Sunnah. And Allah has remained silent over it not because He did not know what I was capable of but he left it out as an act of Mercy.
Act of this mercy translates to hundreds of mosques in England becoming Masjids,
here. And hundred of others have becomes homes of gora people living in UK example of few,
here.
If you say it is prohibited/Haram then you quote me where Allah or his Messenger said we cannot make a church into a house, Masjid, or even public toilets (as act of charity and kindess for people). The one who prohibits something is under burden of proof to prove it. For permissibility proof is not needed because all not prohibited is allowed according to above Hadith but all prohibited is in Quran and Hadith ... so you simply quote me where it says I cannot make church into public toilets.
There is Fard, Sunnah, Mubah. I said it is Mubah because it hasnt been prohibited. You believe it is prohibited in Islam. You prove the prohibition I have proven permissibility on basis of Allah remained silent therefore allowed - remained silent on church bein converted to toilets - therefore it is allowed.
Those who converted it to homes. what do they have in homes, toilets, what do mosques have in them toilets and if mosque is on former church then toilets are in it. Ex-church-homes they have toilets in them, goras have kama sutra in them, watch **** movies in them. Try to understand in islam there is no prohibition of making a church into masjid, home, toilets, community centre, cinema, gym, or anything else.
