When does the last 10 begin?
العشر الأواخر تبدأ من إحدى وعشرين.
The last 10 starts from the 21st.
[Ibn Baz raḥimahullāh - source]
Evidence:
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported:
"The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the middle ten days of Ramaḍhān. One year, he performed i'tikaf until the night of the twenty-first, which is the night after which he would normally conclude his…
BENEFIT 375: Charity Organisations Seek Public Recognition
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee hafidahullah states:
"...Furthermore, charity organisations have increasingly become a means of seeking public recognition and showing off, which diminishes sincerity among their members and administrators. Often, their actions are driven by a desire to appear virtuous rather than genuine commitment. They focus excessively on Tasweer and showcasing their work—sometimes even resorting to…
This leads to financial exploitation, manipulation, ulterior motives, and individuals with bad intentions influencing the Da'wah. Some use such funding to create division, while others seek control or
The path of integrity, safety, and sound practice is the one followed by these scholars who sought to protect their Da'wah, methodology, and approach. They remained safe, and Allāh brought safety by way of them. In contrast, those who expanded the scope have faced unfortunate consequences.
Allāh is our source of help. I believe the matter is now clear for those who seek understanding.
Question:
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Some have asked: What is the difference between a general request and a private request?
Sheikh Salman Al-Imad hafidahullāh responds:
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
May Allāh protect and preserve you, dear brother.
What this questioner is asking about—the distinction between what they have termed a general request and a private request—returns to the fundamental…
Supporting Gaza Through Proper and Trustworthy Means
Question: Is it permissible to donate to Gaza and collect funds through people there? Also, is it permissible to collect zakat for Gaza? Please advise Us. May Allāh reward you.
Sheikh Muhammad Al-’Ansi hafidahullah responds:
If the donated money will truly reach the needy through trustworthy individuals and will be delivered to the displaced and impoverished, then this is from cooperation, alleviating hardship…
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Praise be to Allāh, whose blessings upon His servants are countless, and whose favours upon His chosen ones are abundant. As Allāh Almighty says: "And if you were to count the favours of Allāh, you could not enumerate them."
Among the great blessings bestowed by Allāh upon Ahlus-Sunnah in general, and our Somali brothers in particular, is the opening…
Question: What is the correct view regarding whether the dead can hear?
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh responds:
The most correct view is that, by default, the dead do not hear, as indicated by the Āyah:
{إنما يستجيب الذين يسمعون والموتى يبعثهم الله ثم إليه يرجعون}
“Only those who listen will respond. But the dead—Allāh will resurrect them; then to Him, they will be returned.” [Sūrah Al-An’ām: 36]…
Praiseworthy vs. Blameworthy modesty
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh said:
In conclusion, the type of modesty that restrains a person from engaging in disgraceful and shameful acts is praiseworthy.
However, the type of modesty that prevents a person from enjoining good, forbidding evil, calling to Allāh, leading in prayer, delivering sermons with sincerity for the sake of Allāh Almighty, or seeking knowledge and…
Sheikh Mansoor Al-Majeedi hafidahullah writes (https://t.me/madrasatuna/4801):
"The laughter and emotions of actors do not belong to them. Even the laughter an actor expresses is not his own; it is required of him. The director instructs him:
"When you reach a certain scene, you must smile," and the camera is set to capture it.
Similarly, the director tells him: "At this particular moment, you must cry."…
BENEFIT 371: It Is Not Permissible to Boycott One's Parents(1)
A brother says: My father does not pray or fast. Is it permissible for me to cut ties with him?
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee ḥafidhahullāh says:
No, it is not permissible for you to boycott him. Rather, you should treat him with kindness, patience, and strive to guide him to the right path as much as possible.
Allāh Almighty says: "But if they strive to make you associate with Me that of which you have no…
Some may hide behind incorrect Fatwas issued by some Salafi scholars on certain matters, and then ask: Are these scholars therefore deviant innovators?
This reflects a fundamental misunderstanding.
These scholars are qualified for ijtihad, whereas those who stubbornly follow their errors are not.
Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
"Indeed, a person may misinterpret religious…
BENEFIT 369: Citing SPECIFIC evidences out of context
Some may reference specific evidence that only applies to the ruler as justification for establishing charity organisations and running fundraising campaigns under them.
For example, Allāh says: “Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them to increase, and invoke blessings upon them. Indeed, your invocations are reassurance for them. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.” [Surah At-Tawbah…
BENEFIT 368: Citing GENERAL evidences out of context
Some may reference general evidence promoting cooperation in good deeds, caring for orphans, constructing and maintaining masājid, and other charitable acts as justification for establishing charity organisations and running fundraising campaigns under them.
Abul Husayn Al-Indonusi stated in his treatise 'Charity organisations: A Movement Without Blessing':
"When citing general evidences, it is necessary to…
Al-Hasan Al-Basri (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
«العالم يرى الفتنة وهي مقبلة،
والناس لا يرونها إلا وهي مدبرة»
"The scholar perceives fitnah as it approaches, while the people only recognise it once it has passed."

What has been said regarding Jam’iyyaat:
Sheikh Albani raḥimahullāh said:
'الجمعيات أستار الحزبيات'
“Jam'iyyaat act like a smokescreen for Hizbiyyah.”
Sheikh Muqbil rahimahullah said:
'الجمعيات حزبية مغلفة'
“Jam'iyyaat are a blanketed form of…
A brother reached out to a Salafi Da'ee in France to confirm if this question is true, and the brother said:
نعم صحيح هذا، هو قرار ملزم لكل مسجد رسمي في فرنسا، وكذلك مسجدنا، ولكن مسجدنا جمعيته فارغة إنما هي عبارة عن اسم فقط فلا رأس لها ولا ذيل كما يقال.
"Yes, that is correct. This is a mandatory decision for every officially recognised masjid in France, including ours. However, our masjid's charity organisation…
However, if he is denied one or is required to comply with conditions that contradict the Shari'ah, or if he is burdened with excessive financial obligations, then he should continue calling to Allāh
And with Allāh lies all success."
[Al-Iftā’, pp. 65–66]

It is INCORRECT to apply the principle:
ما لا يتم الواجب إلا به فهو واجب
"What is necessary to fulfill an obligation becomes obligatory itself" to argue that establishing a charity organisation solely for the purpose of da‘wah constitutes a necessity (ضرورة).
This is because the obligation of da'wah can still be fulfilled through other means. Thus, applying the principle (إلا به) in this context is incorrect,…
The questioner asks: In our state...where is your state, my brother? In Nigeria...the government does not permit the establishment of Jumu‘ah prayers unless we register under one of the approved charity organisations. These charity organisations are either affiliated with a party similar in structure to the Ikhwa Al-Muslimoon or are linked to Sufi orders, specifically the Tijaniyyah. What is your advice and guidance…
BENEFIT 367: Establishing a charity organisation in cases of necessity
Question: This is an online questioner asking: We are in France, and it is well known that the law in Western countries(1) does not allow the construction of masājid unless there is a charity organisation overseeing them. In our city, there is a charity organisation that supervises a prayer hall, and the brothers in charge are Salafi—may Allāh reward them—and we do not praise anyone above Allāh. There is another…
From the position of permitting the basis of creating Charity organisations, and committing the oppositions connected to it out of benefit to the Da'wah.
And dismantling the supposition “If they are free from harms and calamities”.
Written by Shaykh Abu Hatim Yusuf Al-Jazaa'iree, may Allah preserve him.
