I try to avoid repeating content across the channels, but I was unsure whether to share this benefit here or on the women’s channel, since it is relevant to both.
What is the ruling on lightening the beard, Shaykh?
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzān ḥafidhahullāh:
"My brother, the beard is not heavy — praise be to Allāh. It is one of your bodily features, an adornment for you, and a distinguishing mark between you and women, so leave it as it is. The Prophet ﷺ commanded that it be grown, allowed to lengthen, and left to grow naturally. It is a form of beauty granted to you, so thank…
True Brotherhood
Dr. Salih ibn Humaid hafidahullāh mentioned in a Friday Khutbah:
"Your brother is one who gives you and you give him.
You take from him and he takes from you.
You agree with him at times and differ at others.
You reproach him and he reproaches you, yet you soon make peace.
At day’s end, you share laughter and companionship.
He rejoices in your happiness and sorrows for your pain.
He…

UNITY upon the truth is an OBLIGATION:
{وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا}
“Hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided.” [Āl ʿImrān: 103]
DISUNITY, on the other hand, is FORBIDDEN—it leads to WEAKNESS and FAILURE:
{وَأَطِيعُوا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ}

Shaykh Uthaymīn رحمه الله mentioned:
And it is obligatory that you be a man in your house, a man in the true sense of the word. Do not merely say you are a man while you are like a piece of wood before your family. Be a man: when you see your family negligent in a duty toward Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, command them.
And if the Sharee‘ah allows you to flogging (discipline), then flog (them). When you see…
Ya Rajul! Divorce Is a Trust — Don’t Betray It by Acting in Haste!
A brother narrated to me:
“I helped a bother get married to a sister some months back. The marriage was going well to start off with, but after some time they gradually started arguing. During some of these arguments, the sister would request the brother to divorce her, and he would comply with her request and divorce her. He said this happened…
Ruling on Hair transplant
▪️What is hair transplant?
Hair transplant is a medical procedure in which hair follicles are relocated from one part of the body (typically the back or sides of the scalp) to areas where hair is thinning or absent, such as the crown or front of the scalp. This procedure is primarily used to treat baldness or hair loss due to conditions like male pattern baldness, but it can also be…

Consoling The Bald-headed (الأصلع)
Question: Some people say that the Prophet ﷺ sought refuge from the bald-headed?
Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh:
This is not correct. ’Umar ibn Al-Khattab was bald, ’Uthmān ibn ’Affān was bald, and Mu’āwiyah ibn Abi Sufyān was also bald. There were numerous bald men among the Salaf, may Allāh be pleased with them. What does baldness have to do with virtue or lack…
Missing The Congregation
Ibn ’Asākir raḥimahullāh said:
«ما فاتت أحداً صلاة الجماعة إلا بذنب أصابه»
"No one misses a congregational prayer except due to a sin they have committed."
[تاریخ دمشق ١٤١/٣٤]
Ḥātim Al-Aṣamm raḥimahullāh said:
«مصيبة الدِّين أعظم من مصيبة الدنيا، ولقد ماتت لي بنت فعزاني أكثر من عشرة آلاف، وفاتتني صلاة الجماعة فلم يعزني أحد»
"The calamity affecting one's religion is greater than the…
Is wearing an 'imāmah and growing the hair long a Sunnah or a customary practice?
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee ḥafidhahullāh responds:
This is something the Prophet ﷺ did following the customs of his people, as he practiced these things before Prophethood, dressing as his people did.
The actions of the Prophet ﷺ, as previously mentioned, can be categorised in several ways:
1⃣. Some actions stem from human nature,…
It is disliked for men to remain bareheaded outdoors
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee hafidahullah said:
"...Is it appropriate for one to remain bareheaded? The Salaf expressed disapproval of this practice; they considered it as disliked for a person to be bareheaded, and it was not known to be customary among them."

Men are twice as much as women in five matters
In his explanation of Sunan Abī Dāwūd [(23/334) according to Shāmilah], Sheikh ’AbdulMuḥsin Al-’Abbād ḥafidhahullāh said:
“... It is established in the Qur'ān and Sunnah that women are half as much as men in five matters:
▪️The first: Inheritance; the male has the same share as two females.
▪️The second: Manumission; a man has to free two women in order to save…
The Waiting Period for Men
Unlike women, men do not have a waiting period (’Iddah). They can remarry straight away! However, there are three cases (as far as I know) where a man has to undergo the same waiting period as his divorced wife before being allowed to remarry.
Before we mention the 3 cases it's important to note that divorce is of two types:
1⃣. Ṭalāq Raj’ee (revocable divorce) - this is where the…
Hasten to Marriage!¹
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
I advise youngsters to hasten to get married, especially in these times, when the causes of corruption and temptation are so numerous. That is why you find that many young men and women find it hard to stay single, and if it were not for the faith in Allāh that they have, they would have gone hunting for abominations.
