Clarification Regarding Shaykh Fawzān's stance on Imām Al-Albānī
During a private sitting with Shaykh Daghash al-‘Ajmi on Wednesday, 13 Rabī‘ al-Awwal 1448 AH (26 August 2026), we asked him for some advice regarding the issue of al-‘udhr bil-jahl (the excuse of ignorance).
After clarifying the matter, he was also asked about Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān’s statement in which he described Shaykh al-Albāni as a Murji’. Shaykh Daghash mentioned that he had personally spoken to Shaykh…

We don't celebrate the Prophet's birthday ﷺ because:
● There's not a single Āyah in the Qurʿān endorsing this celebration.
● There's not a single ḥadīth from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ endorsing this celebration, whether authentic or inauthentic.
● There's not a single Athar from any of the Companions regarding this celebration, whether authentic or inauthentic.
● The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not celebrate it during his lifetime, nor did any of his Companions or…

Question:
There is an imam who leads the people in prayer in the middle of the masjid without a sutrah. Is his prayer, and the prayer of those behind him, valid if someone walks in front of him?
Sheikh Rashad Adh-Dhali'ee:
The Prophet ﷺ commanded that a sutrah be used. He said:
((لا تُصل إلا إلى سترة، ولا تجعل أحدا يمر بين يديك))
“Do not pray except towards a sutrah, and do not allow anyone to pass in front of…
This prayer is referred to by some scholars as Salāt Al-Ishrāq (the Ishrāq prayer). However, in reality, this is not a legislated name for the prayer. Rather, they used this name to refer to it in relation to its time. The prayer itself is Salāt Adh-Ḍuḥā (the Duha prayer).
The Duha prayer begins after the sun has risen and become sufficiently high in the sky, approximately the length of a spear, meaning around 15…
Alhamdulillah, we have completed al-Qawā'id al-Muthlā. We will be starting al-Aqīdatul Wasatiyyah today, ʾIn Shā Allāh.
There will be a slight change in the timings for the lessons so please keep up to date with the channel announcements.

Question:
What is the grading of the hadith in which the Prophet ﷺ said:
((من صلى الفجر [في جماعة] ثم جلس يذكر الله حتى تطلع الشمس، ثم صلى ركعتين كان له أجر حجة وعمرة تامة)).
“Whoever performs Fajr [in congregation], then remains seated remembering Allah until the sun rises, and then performs two units of prayer, will receive the reward of a…

We can therefore distinguish three situations.
If the person catches the first rukūʿ, he has caught the rakʿah according to the positions discussed.
If he misses the entire rakʿah, including both rukūʿs, he has missed the rakʿah and must complete what he missed.
But if he misses the first rukūʿ and catches the second, this is the actual point of scholarly disagreement.
One group of scholars says that he has…
“وإن أحرم مأموما، ثم نوى مفارقة الإمام، وإتمامها منفردا لعذر، جاز”
“If he begins the prayer as a follower and then intends to separate from the imam and complete it individually due to an excuse, that is permissible.”
He then explicitly includes among the legitimate excuses:
“المشقة بتطويل الإمام، أو المرض، أو خشية غلبة النعاس، أو شيء يفسد صلاته، أو خوف فوات مال أو تلفه، أو فوت رفقته، وأشباه هذا”

Further Issues Concerning the Eclipse Prayer
Following on from what was previously written concerning the eclipse prayer, there are several further matters that are worth clarifying due to some questions and observations that have arisen. Among them are the Sunnah of lengthening the eclipse prayer, the purpose behind this lengthening, what should be done by someone who genuinely finds its length difficult, the…
Question:
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
May Allah preserve you and bless you, our Shaykh.
These pieces of wood were brought by one of the local attendees. May Allah reward him for his good intention. He placed them in the masjid without prior permission.
Are we allowed to leave them in the masjid and make use of them, or should we remove them from the masjid?
I saw a fatwa from some of the scholars stating…
BENEFIT: Ready-made Sutrah boards - An Excessive Formality
Question:
Honourable Sheikh. In the masjids in Morocco, planks and wooden boards have become widespread, which worshippers use as sutrah/barriers for their prayer. Is it permissible to pray using these as sutrah or to intentionally seek them out for this purpose?
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh:
This practice falls under excessive formality (takalluf), which is forbidden, as ruled by the Permanent Committee,…
