Allāh Almighty says:
“Close friends, on that Day, will be enemies to one another, except for the righteous.” [Sūrah Az-Zukhruf, 43:67]
Ibn Kathīr commented:
“Every friendship that is not based on Allāh will turn into enmity on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, keep company only with a believer and avoid the companionship of the corrupt.”

Case study:

What should she do?
A. Remove the nail polish and wash only her nails
B. Remove the nail polish and…
The Effect of Forgetting a Limb on the Validity of Ablution
Question: If a person performs wuḍūʾ and dries their limbs, then remembers that one of the limbs was not washed, should they wash it immediately, or must they repeat the ablution from the beginning?
Sheikh Sa’d Ash-Shithri ḥafidhahullāh:
All praise is due to Allāh, Lord of the worlds, and may prayers and peace be upon the best of the prophets and…
Muwālāt in Ghusl
Question: We return to the questions of our brothers and sisters. Our brother Khalid asked about continuity (muwālāt) in ritual bathing (ghusl): is it obligatory? First, what does muwālāt mean?
Sheikh Sa’d Al-Kathlān ḥafidhahullāh:
Muwālāt means that one should not delay washing a body part until the previously washed part has dried. It is one of the obligatory acts of ablution (wuḍūʾ) according…
Ruling on Placing the Forehead on the Hand as a Form of Respect
Sheikh ’Abdurrazzāq Al-Badr ḥafidhahullāh said:
Some people, when they kiss their father’s hand, go beyond merely kissing it—what do they do? They place their forehead upon it; that is, they kiss their father’s hand and then place their forehead on it. The scholars have prohibited this practice and have referred to it as the minor prostration…
A person is not able to purchase every book they wish to read in printed form. One may not be wealthy, for example, and thus the are unable to afford the book despite its availability; or the book may not be available in one’s country at all; or its publication may have ceased long ago; or there may be other such obstacles. One should not become discouraged by this, for it is a natural situation. The correct…
A study conducted by the University of Valencia, which included more than 450,000 participants, shows that reading printed paper books helps in understanding texts better than reading them on electronic screens. The study indicates that spending 10 hours reading printed books increases the likelihood of comprehending the texts by a factor of 6 to 8, compared to spending the same amount of time reading on digital…
Just yesterday we were sharing laughter together, and today he has returned to his Lord.
Life is far more fleeting than many of us realise.
May this be a reminder and a lesson for us all.

Verses That Came in a Dream
Sheikh Sulaymān Al-’Uyūni ḥafidhahullāh said
I wanted to put the two books (An-Naḥu Aṣ-Ṣaghīr & Aṣ-Ṣarf Aṣ-Ṣaghīr) into verse, and many people also asked me to do so, because memorising poetry is easier. But I am not a poet, and I had never written poetry before. I asked a number of brothers who are known for writing verse to do it. Some of them started trying, but none of them…

Forwarded from Sheikh Saleem Al-Hilāli ḥafidhahullāh
Question: Does arousal of sexual desire during prayer invalidate the prayer if caused by an external factor, such as sudden distractions in the masjid?
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh:
Avoid places or situations that may provoke sexual desire during your prayer. If such arousal leads to the discharge of madhi (pre-ejaculatory fluid) or mani (semen), the prayer is invalidated because it nullifies wuḍū.
It…
BENEFIT: Punishment for Beastiality & the Obligation of Ghusl in Such Cases
Question: The scholars have mentioned that whoever performs penetration into the anus, or into an animal, or into a corpse is required to perform ghusl (ritual bathing), regardless of whether the penetration is into a front or rear private part, whether of a human being or an animal, living or dead—similar to intercourse with a human during her lifetime. What is the ruling concerning one who penetrates an animal?…
