Sheikh Albāni raḥimahullāh said: "The statement that 'rulings change according to time and place' is a VERY DANGEROUS principle if taken in its broadest sense. The correct understanding of this principle is that it applies to rulings derived from ijtihad of the scholars, and not to the rulings explicitly stated in the Book of Allah or the ḥadīth of the Messenger of Allāh. These latter rulings are not subject to…

Questioner: May Allāh reward you and bless you. A question has been raised regarding whether compensation (diyah) is due if a person assaults another and shaves his beard, especially if the beard does not grow back again? Sheikh Sulaymān Ar-Ruhaili waffaqahaullah: The beard is considered a full, honourable organ of a man. If someone damages a full, honourable organ of a man, full compensation (diyah) becomes…

Response: The ’Eid gatherings organised by the sisters at Masjid Muqbil are different, in that their objective is NOT fundraising, but rather to come together and celebrate 'Eid, as the Prophet ﷺ stated: ((لَتَعْلَمُ يَهُودُ أَنَّ فِي دِينِنَا فُسْحَةً)) "Let the Jews know that our religion has a broad scope" [Reported by Ahmad (24334); authenticated by Sheikh Albani in "Sahih Al-Jami" (3219)]. The stalls are a…

يثبت تبعًا ما لا يثبت استقلالاً "Something may be affirmed/permitted when it is considered as a part of a whole, but not when it stands alone independently." -> "Independent" refers to something that exists as a separate, standalone entity. -> "Dependent" refers to something that is attached to or follows from another thing. This means that one ruling may be applied to something when it is dependent on or…

The Prophet ﷺ supplicated: ((اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الخَيْرَاتِ، وَتَرْكَ المُنْكَرَاتِ، وَحُبَّ المَسَاكِينِ، وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَتَرْحَمَنِي، وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِتْنَةً فِي قَوْمٍ فَتَوَفَّنِي غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ، وَحُبَّ عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُ إِلَى حُبِّكَ)). "O Allah! I ask of you for good actions, avoiding evil, LOVING THE POOR, and that You forgive me, and…

Sheikh Ṣāliḥ Āl Ash-Sheikh ḥafidhahullāh says: "How often have we wept over the loss of scholars whom we encountered but from whom we did not learn, or those whom we heard of and wished we could have met! People often disregard scholars because they are among them, because they are still alive. Yet, when these scholars pass away, their hearts are stirred with sorrow. Why do I see your scholars departing, yet your…

Ibn Al-Qayyim rahimahullah said: «ومِنْ عُقُوبَاتِ الذُّنُوب: أنَّهَا تُطْفِئُ مِنَ الْقَلْبِ: نَارَ الْغَيْرَةِ الَّتِي هِيَ لِحَيَاتِهِ وَصَلَاحِهِ ؛ كَالْحَرَارَةِ الْغَرِيزِيَّةِ لِحَيَاةِ جَمِيعِ الْبَدَنِ. فَالْغَيْرَةُ حَرَارَتُهُ وَنَارُهُ الَّتِي تُخْرِجُ مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْخُبْثِ وَالصِّفَاتِ الْمَذْمُومَةِ؛ كَمَا يُخْرِجُ الْكِيرُ خُبْثَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالْحَدِيدِ. وَأَشْرَفُ النَّاسِ…

Ash-Shāṭibi raḥimahullāh said: «إن العالم المعلوم بالأمانة والصدق والجري على سنن أهل الفضل والدين والورع إذا سئل عن نازلة فأجاب، أو عرضت له حالة يبعد العهد بمثلها ، أو لا تقع من فهم السامع موقعها: أن لا يواجه بالاعتراض والنقد فإن عرض إشكال فالتوقف أولى بالنجاح وأحرى بادراك البغية إن شاء الله تعالى» "If a scholar known for integrity, honesty, and adherence to the path of the virtuous and pious is consulted about a…

Narrated Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet ﷺ said: ((لا يؤمنُ أحدكم حتى يُحِبَّ لأخيه ما يُحِبُّ لنفسه)) "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."

A Heartfelt Message From A Former Anti-polygynist When I was approaching my twenties, like any other girl, I dreamt of a pious, well-mannered young man. I built hopes and dreams about how we would live together and raise our children, and so on. I used to be strongly opposed to polygyny. If I heard that a man married a second wife, I would, without realising it, curse him and say, "If I were in her place, I would…
