We live in a time where polygyny is viewed as something strange, shameful, and even offensive.
Today, if a woman supports her husband in seeking a second, third, or fourth wife, people label her as naïve, delusional, or oppressed. And if a man expresses his wish to marry again, he’s often called disloyal, lustful, or accused of having an unsatisfied wife.
Yet, when a wife sincerely helps her husband find another…
The Transformation of Beauty: From Worship to Cosmetics
It is reported that some women used to pray extensively during the night. When one of them was asked about this, she replied:
«إنها تحسِّن الوجه وأنا أحب أن يحسن وجهي»
“It beautifies the face, and I love for my face to be beautiful.”
[Rawḍh Al-Muḥibbīn, p. 321]
O noble sister, do not let society’s obsession with outward beauty—through cosmetics,…
The Role of Patience in Preserving Health
Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
"Most of the ailments of the body and the heart arise from the absence of patience. Nothing preserves the soundness of hearts, bodies, and souls like patience, for it is the greatest distinction and the most excellent remedy. And if it contained no virtue other than the companionship of Allāh with those who possess it,…
Cosmetic Surgery in Islam: Removal of Defects vs. Beautification
Shaykh ʿUthaymīn (may Allāh have mercy on him) was asked about various types of cosmetic operations, such as correcting the nose, liposuction, breast reduction or enlargement, and the like. What is the ruling on these procedures, and what is the guiding principle?
He replied:
As for the cosmetic procedures mentioned, they fall into two…
Is it permissible for a man to circumcise a young girl?
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee ḥafidhahullāh:
This is considered a form of medical treatment, and as you know, medical treatment may be carried out by a man even for a woman. Therefore, if no woman is available to perform the procedure, it is permissible for a man to undertake the circumcision of a newborn girl.
Appropriate Age for Marriage
A brother asks: What is the appropriate age for marrying off a daughter? In other words, when should a father marry off his daughter?
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee ḥafidhahullāh:
The general principle is that once a woman has reached maturity, then if a suitable and competent suitor proposes, it is permissible for the father to give her in marriage.
However, a father may take into…
Is it permissible to name a child Bayān or Abrār?
Question: Honourable Shaykh, what is your opinion regarding those who name their children with certain words mentioned in the Qur'ān, such as Afnān, Anfāl, and Bayān?
Sheikh Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh:
There is no harm in naming one’s sons or daughters with words taken from the Qur'ān, except in cases where the name itself is specifically prohibited. For example, the…
Is it permissible to name a girl Fātin?
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee ḥafidhahullāh:
This name, Fātin, and similar names such as Fitnah, are not permissible. This is because the Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge in Allāh from fitnah (trials, temptations) and commanded seeking refuge in Allāh from trials and temptations. Therefore, these names are not allowed, as they contradict the Prophet’s ﷺ directive to seek refuge…
Loving for a Sister What You Love for Yourself: The Example of Umm Ḥabībah
Sheikh Abū ’Amr ḥafidhahullāh states:
Umm Ḥabībah was keen on securing goodness for her sister, so she offered her sister in marriage to the Prophet ﷺ. Naturally, women possess feelings of jealousy, so he said to her: “Do you desire that?” She replied: “I am not going to be left alone,” meaning: Since you will be marrying other women…
There Is No Love Without Good Companionship 🌺
If someone asks: What is the means for a man to love his wife and a woman to love her husband?
The answer lies in the words of Allâh ﷻ:
"And live with them in kindness"
~ (An-Nisâ’ 4:19).

Consequently, cosmetic procedures such as hair removal are not considered a ḍharūrah. It follows that exposing the ʿawrah for this purpose is impermissible, even if the practitioner is female. والله أعلم

﷽
A questioner inquires regarding the permissibility of hair removal methods, including modern treatments such as laser therapy. They refer to the Prophet’s ﷺ teaching that one of the qualities of those who will enter Paradise without reckoning is avoiding cauterization. The question posed is whether employing modern hair removal techniques, such as laser treatment, would affect this virtue or result in exclusion…
I don't intend to scare you, but it's this kind of rhetoric that paves the way for potential restrictions on face veils.
Muslims must ask: what would happen if the UK were to impose such a ban?
Observing the trend in other European countries, women who wear the niqab should certainly be considering the implications and preparing for what may lie ahead.
When others surpass you in worldly matters, strive to surpass them in matters of the Hereafter
Shaddād ibn Aws (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say:
“When people hoard gold and silver, you should hoard these words instead:
(1) اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ،
"O Allāh, I ask You for steadfastness in this matter,

Scholars differ on whether it is possible for a human woman to conceive from a jinn, due to the inherent differences between…

It is therefore obligatory to refrain from using this phrase in order to safeguard pure tawḥīd and to avoid shirk and the means leading to it.

Tactful Ways to Discourage Backbiting in Social Gatherings
Many people already know that one should not sit silently in gatherings where backbiting takes place. However, in some social settings, voicing such objections can sometimes earn one unflattering labels—such as being called a 'wet blanket' or a 'party pooper'. Likewise, shyness or embarrassment often leads people to remain silent instead of discouraging…
