Mohammed Al-’Issa (Secretary General of the Muslim World League) says: "We will combat the scourge of Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and all forms of hatred, armed with the truth. The Muslim World League is prepared for this battle, and with our partners such as the American Sephardi Federation, we are confident that, with Allāh's permission, we will make progress toward building a brighter…

Question: Honourable Sheikh, may Allāh grant you success, someone says: "I advise those who take pictures using a camera, and they respond by saying that, "The matter is an issue of khilāf (difference of opinion)." His question is: What is the proper guideline for offering advice in these issues of khilāf?
Sheikh Fawzān hafidahullah:
I say: We have not been commanded to follow differences of opinion; we have been…
BENEFIT 425: What is the evidence that photography is haram, given that it did not exist during the time of the Prophet ﷺ?
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili waffaqahullah:
The One who legislated [Islam] for us, my dear brother, is the All-Knowing—He who knows what was, what is, and what will be, and even what never was, had it occurred, how it would have been. The matter is not based on human legislation, which is limited to the knowledge of their own time and ignorant of what lies ahead. For that reason, human laws require constant revision,…
BENEFIT 424: Videography is the worst form of Tasweer
Question: What is the ruling on video recording? We request a concise answer so we can present other questions as well.
Sheikh Al-Albāni raḥimahullāh:
We have also discussed this issue in various gatherings in some of the countries we visited in the Kingdom (of Saudi Arabia). In summary, video recording is the worst form of image-making (taswīr), as the prohibition of images in the Shari'ah is based on two primary…
1. Watering down the religion of Islam...This includes attempts to bring it closer to other religions and similar efforts.
2. Watering down the Salafi Manhaj. While this is technically encompassed within the first category, it is more specific in nature. Every Salafi is a Muslim, but not every Muslim is Salafi. Moreover, watering Down this manhaj is largely propagated by individuals within the fold of Islam,…
BENEFIT 422: Categories of Those Who Oppose the Manhaj of the Salaf and the Way of the Upright
Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidahullāh wrote:
1. The disbelieving polytheists—those who worship idols and others like them.
2. The disbelievers among the People of the Book, namely the Jews and Christians.
3. Hypocrites in belief, such as the Rafidah, Qarmatians, and similar groups.
4. Innovators and followers of misguided desires who claim affiliation with Islam.
Each of these groups has strayed far from…
BENEFIT: How Shaytan uses Tamyee and Ghuluw to misguide people
Ibnul-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said: "He (Shaytan) observes your soul closely to see which trait dominates: courage and determination, or hesitation and weakness.
If he sees that you're timid and hesitant, he makes you lazy, weakens your drive to obey Allah, and makes the act feel heavy and difficult — until you eventually give it up or do it carelessly.
But if he sees that you're brave and ambitious, he tells you that…
Al-Albani commented: “This report implies that it is permissible to pray for a long life for a non-Muslim, and all the more so for a Muslim. However, it must be noted that this applies only when the n
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen, may Allāh have mercy on him, stated: “There is a scholarly difference of opinion regarding offering condolences to a non-Muslim who has lost a relative or friend. Some scholars hold it to be prohibited, while others permit it. Some differentiate, saying that if doing so brings benefit—such as fostering hope of their accepting Islam or preventing harm that cannot be avoided…
BENEFIT: The Ruling on Offering Condolences to a Non-Muslim (shared by Sh. Saleem Ar-Radā’ee)
Scholars—may Allāh have mercy on them—have differed regarding the permissibility of offering condolences to non-Muslims.
Jurists, such as Imām Ash-Shafi’ee [Al-Majmūʿ (5/275)] and Abū Ḥanīfah [Hashiyat Ibn ʿĀbidīn (3/140)] (according to one narration), held that it is permissible for a Muslim to offer condolences to a non-Muslim and vice versa, provided the non-Muslim is not at war with Muslims.
Imām Ibn Qudāmah…
Sheikh Abu Bilal hafidahullah states:
We advise that a teacher takes care of his students by nurturing them, guiding their moral conduct, and endearing them to knowledge and its people. He should speak well of scholars in front of his students, acquaint them with his own teachers and those from whom he benefitted—those who are engaged in goodness. He should also connect them with other scholars, fellow students of…
BENEFIT 421: Darwin's Theory of Evolution is Kufr!
Question: I am student Muhammad Sultan, one of the students in the second year of middle school. Last year, I studied the origin of human beings in the history textbook, and the book states that humans evolved from apes over time. Is this correct, or does it contradict what the Holy Qur'ān says about the origin of apes? Please guide us—may Allah reward you—to the right path so we can follow it. Thank you.

Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh says:
Look at the Manhaj of the Salaf; Imam Ahmad, may Allāh have mercy on him, considered Isma'il ibn 'Ulayyah and Ya'qub ibn Shaybah innovators, despite them being imaams. Ya'qub ibn Shaybah had a unique collection called "Musnad Al-Mu'allal," which, if it still existed, would surpass this room in width. A huge collection. If you look at his biography in "Siyar A'lam…
Question: Is it true that Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī Al-Karābīsī made the statement of the lafdhiyyah:
لفظي بالقرآن مخلوق
“My utterance of the Qur'ān is created”? And if that is true, did he later retract it?
Sheikh Abu Bakr Al-Hammadi hafidahullah:
He was indeed the one who introduced this; that is, Al-Karābīsī was the first to make this statement, and no one else preceded him in it. Rather, he was the one who introduced…
Questioner: Adh-Dhahabi – may Allāh have mercy on him – said: "When a great scholar's correctness is abundant, his pursuit of the truth is known, his knowledge is much, his intellect is evident, his righteousness, piety, and adherence to the correct path are recognised, then his mistakes are forgiven, and we do not declare him to be misguided, discard him, or overloo his merits. Yes, we do not follow him in his…

By affirming this view, the innovated and newly invented methodology of mandatory balancing between good and bad traits collapses entirely.
Or (2) it must be said that their criticism—being devoid of any mention of good traits and focusing solely on faults—is based on injustice and oppression, and that their methodology is based on deception, ignorance, and a lack of piety and fear of the Lord of the worlds, and…
Watering Down of Jarḥ by Dismantling the Principles Set by the Salaf (Part 13)
Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidahullāh wrote:
[From the innovated principles]
The methodology of Al-Muwāzanah (mentioning both good and bad qualities when criticising/refuting mistakes)
The claim of the Manhaj of Al-muwāzanah—that one must mention both the good and bad qualities—is a reprehensible innovation which leads to watering down the religion and complacency regarding the people of falsehood. As the…
