Combining prayers during pregnancy / while caring for a pregnant patient
Is it permissible to delay prayer until its time is about to expire, such as Asr prayer, due to necessity, for instance, if a doctor is in the midst of performing surgery and has a patient under their care. Leaving the patient unattended, even briefly, poses a risk to their life.
The response of Al-Lajnah Ad-Dā'imah (25/44):
"It is…

This proverb is used for someone who tries to change something that has inevitably happened, or…
May Allah be good to you. Honorable Sheikh, this questioner asks whether the Companions differed in matters of creed?
Sheikh Fawzān hafidahullah responds:
"Absolutely not! The people of Ēmān do not differ in creed, so how could the Companions?! Yes, there is no disagreement in matters of creed, my brother. Creed is derived from the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the methodology of the righteous predecessors, and there is no disagreement in it. Yes."

Pap Smear test / cervical screening
🏳️. IS IT PERMISSIBLE?
٠ If the test is not necessary (i.e. there's no cause for concern and is merely being encouraged as a routine checkup), then it is not permissible due to what it involves of exposing one's 'Awrah unnecessarily.
Narrated Bahz ibn Hakīm, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: 'I said: “O Messenger of Allah! Regarding our 'Awrah, what of it must…

A brother asks: What is the ruling on shaving parts of the head and leaving other parts unshaven?
Sheikh Rashad Adh-Dali'ee, may Allāh preserve him, responds:
"Shaving parts of the head is forbidden. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a boy who had that done, so he said, "Either shave it all or leave it all." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prohibited partial shaving (قزع). There are…

Question: Respected Sheikh, may Allah preserve you in your residency and journeys. What is the ruling on leaning on the left hand behind the back? Is it from the manners of those who incur wrath, as mentioned in some narrations? Is it permissible to lean on the right hand behind the back? Or to lean on both hands behind the back together? May Allah reward you with goodness.

BENEFIT 147: Being around the Kuffar is worse than sitting with innovators
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajuri hafidahullah said:
"This is the requirement of adhering to the straight path: opposing the people of Hellfire, refraining from associating with them and being influenced by them.
[The Prophet ﷺ said] "The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows." This hadith is agreed upon.

BENEFIT 148: Is it permissible for a Muslim residing in non-Muslim lands to work as a policeman without being an accomplice to wrongdoing, such as working in traffic police or with those who pursue cr
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan, may Allah preserve him, answered:
No, he should not be a soldier for the disbelievers. A Muslim should not be a soldier for the disbelievers because he would be under their authority and executing their orders, so this is not permissible for him. However, if he works in a non-police job like construction, tailoring, or in a factory, etc., there is no harm in that.

BENEFIT 136: What is the criterion for determining issues of ijtihad (مسائل الاجتهاد)?
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh says (slightly paraphrased)
"...Firstly, deeming this (teaching/working in free-mixed environments) to be an issue of ijtihād is disputable, because issues of ijtihad have been determined by scholars, such as Sheikhul Islam, Ash-Shinqiti, among others, to refer to: Issues lacking clear text, apparent evidence, and definitive consensus; these are the issues categorised as مسائل…
BENEFIT 136: What is our stance towards those of Ahlus-Sunnah (like Sheikh Luhaidan) who allow tasweer?
Sheikh Albani rahimahullah clarifies below when this matter comes under the category of ijtihaad and when it doesn't:
"...We are still not able to say that these people are astray. But, we only say: perhaps he made ijtihaad (he strove to reach the truth) but missed the mark; that is as long as he remains with us, following the Qur'aan and Sunnah. As for those who may state clearly that they are not seeking the…
BENEFIT 134: If you see a video of a scholar online, don't just assume that they permit tasweer!
O Sheikh, what is the ruling regarding Tasweer using a mobile camera?
Sheikh Wasee'ullah Abbas waffaqahullah:
"This matter is very clear! The ruling on photography, my brother, is that all types of pictures have been prohibited by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. On the day of judgement, the one who takes a picture will be tasked with breathing life into it and bringing it to life, which they are not capable of. Therefore,…
