Class Summary:
مَا هُوَ الدِّينُ الَّذِي لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ دِيْنَا غَيْرَهُ؟
What is the religion that Allāh does not accept any other religion aside from it?
الْإِسْلَامُ هُوَ الدِّينُ الَّذِي لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ دِيْنًا غَيْرَهُ. وَالدَّلِيلُ: قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ}
Islam is the religion that Allāh does…
وترى الكريم إذا تصرم وصله * يخفي القبيح ويظهر الإحسانا
وترى اللئيم إذا تقضى وصله * يخفي الجميل ويظهر البهتانا.
You will find the noble, when the bond is cut,
conceals what is blameworthy and displays kindness.
But the ignoble, when the bond is ended,
hides the good and displays slander.
[Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm Ad-Dīn, 2/195]

Safeguarding Secrets
Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi ḥafidhahullāh writes:
Remember, my brother in faith, that one who entrusts you with his secrets is a brother who loves you and has placed his confidence in you. Therefore, be worthy of his trust and protect his secrets just as you would protect any trust—material or otherwise.
Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ…

Question: Is there any objection to holding a wedding banquet in the masjid, given that the intention is to honour the students of knowledge? Is there any sharʿi prohibition in this?
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh:
The Prophet ﷺ and his Companions ate in the masjid, as mentioned in the ḥadīth of ʿAbdullāh ibn Buṣr, in which they remained remembering Allāh until sunrise, then prayed the ḍuḥā prayer. He said: “A large…
This view is stronger, and Allāh knows best: that the ʿArbūn is permissible and lawful for the seller, because the hadith prohibiting it is weak, and the basic legal principle is permissibility. This
In such a case, the buyer is obliged to compensate for the harm suffered by the seller. Yes—the judge would compel him to do so, based on the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: “No harm and no reciprocating har

Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili ḥafidhahullāh:
The ʿUrbān—also called Al-ʿarbūn, which is the commonly used term today—is one and the same. Scholars mention that it has two forms: one permissible, and one prohibited according to some of them—that is, according to those who consider it prohibited.
As for the first form: the buyer purchases the item and gives the seller an…
The Ruling on ʿArbūn (Earnest Money) in Sales Transactions
Question: The questioner asks about the sale involving a down payment (ʿarbūn)...
Sheikh comments: The ʿArbūn is well known; Al-ʿurbūn, Al-ʿArabūn, and Al-ʿUrbān are all acceptable linguistic forms.
Question continues: A person wishes to purchase something and pays a sum of money as a deposit, with a stipulated period of time. If he does not pay the…
Ibn Qudāmah (may Allāh have mercy on him) stated in Al-Mughnī [8/282]: "Both ʿUmrā and Ruqbā are permissible according to the majority of scholars. However, some have held that they are invalid because the Prophet ﷺ prohibited them."
He continued: "Our evidence is the narration from Jābir (may Allāh be pleased with him), in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
((العمرى جائزة لأهلها والرقبى جائزة…
“Gifts given to government workers are a form of misappropriation (ghulul).” [Reported by Ahmad and others]
Abu Humayd As-Sa‘eedi (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported:
أن رسول الله ﷺ استعمل رجلًا على الصدقة، فلما قدِم قال: هذا لكم وهذا أُهدي إليَّ، فقام النبي ﷺ على المنبر، فحمد الله تعالى وأثنى عليه ثم قال: ما بال العامل نبعثه فيأتي ويقول: هذا لكم، وهذا أُهدي إليَّ، أفلا جلس في بيت أبيه وأمه فينظر…
Struggling against one's own reluctance to part with wealth—while still possessing a strong desire for it—demonstrates sincerity of intention, purity of purpose, and a deep longing to seek nearness to
NOTE: illness is divided into two categories:
1) Non-Life-Threatening Illness (like colds, mild headaches, and minor eye or tooth pain)
Ruling= the patient’s financial transactions are fully valid, just like those of a healthy person. Any gifts or financial dispositions made during this period are legally binding, even if the illness later worsens into a life-threatening condition and results in death. The…
5. The gift must be immediate and unconditional. A temporary gift, such as saying, "I gift this to you for a month or a year," is invalid, as gifting constitutes a permanent transfer of ownership.
6. The gift must be given without compensation, as it is a form of pure generosity.

المسألة الثالثة: بعض الأحكام المتعلقة بها
Some Rulings Related to Gifts
The following rulings apply to hibah:
1. A gift becomes binding once the recipient takes possession of it with the giver’s permission. The giver cannot revoke it, as the Prophet ﷺ said in the hadith of ibn Abbās:
((ليس لنا مثل السوء، الذي يعود في…
الهبة هي التبرع من جائز التصرف في حياته لغيره بمال معلوم أو غيره بلا عوض.
A hibah refers to a voluntary transfer of ownership from a legally competent person during their lifetime to another party, involving a specified asset or otherwise, without requiring compensation.
BENEFIT: Al-Muwaffaq Ibn Qudāmah (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
"The terms hibah, ‘atiyyah (grant), hadiyyah (present), and sadaqah…
"Its principal must neither be sold, gifted, nor inherited."
*NOTE:* A Waqf is established in one of two ways:
1. Through a Verbal Declaration:
- This can be done using:
a: explicit wording (لفظ صريح), such as saying: “I have endowed this property,” or “I have designated it as waqf.”
b: implicit wording (كناية) provided it is accompanied by the intention of waqf, such as saying: “I have donated…
If the endower does not specify a salary for the supervisor, it is permitted for them to take compensation in proportion to their efforts.

BENEFIT
قال أبو السعادات ابن الأثير في النهاية:
«يقال: وقَفْتُ الشيءَ أقِفُهُ وَقْفًا،
ولا يقال فيه: أَوْقَفْتُ إلا على لغةٍ رديئة»…
Jurists discuss the rulings of a laqeeṭ immediately after the rulings of luqaṭah due to the connection between them. While luqaṭah pertains to lost wealth and belongings, a laqeeṭ refers to a lost or
DEFINITION:
اللقيط: طفلٌ لا يُعرف نسبه ولا رِقّهُ، نُبذ أو ضلّ.
A laqeeṭ is a child of unknown lineage and status, who has been abandoned or has gone missing.
It is not permissible to neglect a laqeeṭ, as Allāh commands:
﴿وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى﴾
"And cooperate in righteousness and piety." [Surah Al-Ma'idah: 2]
The general meaning of this Āyah implies the obligation of taking in and caring for…
-> Some also recommend having witnesses present when the item is found. For example, Imam Ahmad (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
“لا أحب أن يمسها حتى يُشهد عليها”.
"I do not like for him to touch it until he has witnesses."
-> The benefit of having witnesses is to safeguard oneself from temptation, ensure its preservation in case of death so that it does not pass to one’s heirs, and protect it from being claimed by creditors in the event of financial insolvency.
7. If the rightful owner later comes forward and accurately describes the item,…
((عرّفها سنة، ثم اعرف عفاصها ووكائها، فإن جاء أحدٌ يخبرك بها وإلا فاستنفقها))
"Announce it for a year, then ascertain its binding and its container. If someone comes forward with a proper claim, return it to them; otherwise, use it."
BENEFIT: Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajar (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
“قال العلماء: محل ذلك المحافل كأبواب المساجد والأسواق ونحو ذلك، يقول: من ضاعت له نفقة أو نحو ذلك من العبارات، ولا يذكر شيئًا من الصفات”.
“Scholars have stated that the appropriate places for…
Animals that can protect themselves from small predators. Examples include camels, horses, cattle, and mules.
RULING = It is prohibited to take possession of such animals, and ownership cannot be claimed even after public announcement. This is based on the Prophet’s statement in the aforementioned ḥadīth:
((ما لك ولها، دعها فإن معها حذاءها، وسقاءها، ترد الماء، وتأكل الشجر حتى يجدها ربها)).
"What concern is it of yours? Leave them, for they have their hooves and their water supply; they drink water and graze on trees until…
