The Arabs used to praise men for sleeping little, and women for sleeping much and being indolent. They called a woman Miksāl, considering this a sign of delicacy and femininity. As ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿah said:
وغَضِيضُ الطَّرفِ مِكْسَالُ الضُّحى * أَحورُ المُقلةِ كالرِّيم الأغَنْ.
"With lowered gaze, a Miksāl in the forenoon, Whose dark eyes resemble the gazelle of the desert."

The Gravity of Backbiting and the Path to Sincere Repentance
Question: He says: “Our Shaykh, may Allāh reward you with goodness, a man has engaged in backbiting against many people, to the extent that he does not even recall their names. Now he wishes to repent. What is the proper way to do so? And how should he return people’s rights and seek their pardon? May Allāh reward you with goodness.”
Shaykh ʿAbdurrazzāq…
Backbiting is a Grave Sin That Must Be Confronted
Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah said:
"It has already been established through Āyāt of the Qur'ān and authentic ḥadīths of the Prophet ﷺ that backbiting is prohibited, that it is among the reprehensible acts and major sins, and that it leads to enmity, hatred, discord, and division. For this reason, Allāh Almighty has forbidden it because of the harm and evil it…
The scholars of tafsir said, “At-tajassus (spying) is searching for the faults of the Muslims and their private matters, meaning let not one of you search for the fault of his brother to expose it if Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has concealed it.”

Protect Your Peace from Outside Influence
Have you noticed how, when a child trips or falls, they don’t always cry right away? They feel the pain and may look startled, but often they hold back. If the people around them carry on as though nothing happened, the child usually stays composed. But the moment others rush over, fussing and making it a big scene, the child bursts into tears.
The same pattern sometimes…
False Claims of Oppression and the Honour of Women in Islam
A questioner asks: The people of desires and misguided ideologies advance a false premise, claiming that women suffer from oppression and suppression in the home, in the marketplace, and elsewhere. Based on this, they call upon women to display themselves immodestly and to rebel against both the Shari'ah and sound tradition. What guidance do you offer…
Ruling on Selling Permissible Items That May Be Used for Unlawful Purposes
Question: May one sell perfumes to women who are immodestly dressed?
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili hafidahullah:
I have stated repeatedly that items which are lawful in themselves, but which may be used for both lawful and unlawful purposes, may be sold by a Muslim on the basis of assuming good intent on the part of people. For example,…
Why a Muslimah should avoid saying “Men are all the same”
1⃣. It’s an unfair generalisation.
Not all men are the same: some are righteous, kind, and God-fearing; others may be unjust or careless. To label them all negatively is unfair.
As Muslims, we must maintain justice in action as well as speech. Allāh ﷻ says:
﴿وَإِذَا قُلۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡدِلُوا۟﴾
“And when you speak, be just…” [Sūrah Al-Anʿām: 152]

The Story of the Man Who Afflicted His Daughter with the Evil Eye
A father returned home at night and knocked on the door. His daughter, about ten years old, opened for him. When he looked at her, he was struck by her beauty and said to her:
“O fortune, whose daughter are you?”
That very night, the girl fell gravely ill, suffering from diarrhea and vomiting until she passed away. She was buried the following…
Beware of Falling into These Seven Traits
1⃣. The Mannānah (the reproachful woman)
She is the woman who constantly reminds her husband of favours she once did for him—how she supported him during financial hardship, helped him through a problem, or how her father or family assisted him in the past. She burdens her husband by continually reproaching him with these reminders.
2⃣. The Annānah (the excessive…
3️⃣ The Prophet ﷺ said: “Shall I not inform you of what is better than fasting, prayer, and charity?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “Reconciling relations, for discord between people is the shaver.” [Abū
▪️A Comprehensive Conclusion

Allah says: “And when I am ill, it is He who heals me.” [Ash-Shuʿarāʾ 26:80]
ʿĀʾishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) said: “When the Prophet ﷺ was ill, he would recite Al-Muʿawwidhāt over himself. When his illness worsened, I would recite them over him and wipe him with his own hand for its blessing.” [Al-Bukhārī]
Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet ﷺ used to perform ruqyah for the evil eye, and he commanded others to do the same.” [Muslim]

Restoring Marital Harmony
Question: O Shaykh, disagreements between me and my wife have multiplied over the most trivial matters, escalating until they reach the point of divorce. We later regret it. We feel as though there is something hidden behind this… Could it be sorcery or the evil eye? Is there a lawful remedy for such a situation? Our condition has become exhausting—please guide us, may Allāh have mercy…

Never confront parental leniency with harshness or disobedience. Allāh says: “And if they strive to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. But accompany them
If obedience in matters of disbelief requires kindness, how much more in matters of personal judgment or leniency. Fulfill the rights of parents gently while explaining the ruling.
Fifth: If You Cannot Succeed
If you try and do not succeed, do not turn the home into a battlefield. Allāh says: “Indeed, you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills.” [Al-Qaṣaṣ 28:56]

Gentle Advice to a Sister Regarding free-mixed Universities and Modesty
Question: O Sheikh, how can I convince my sister that free-mixed universities are haram and contain great harms? She believes that free-mixing in pursuit of worldly knowledge is permissible. I am afraid to advise her because it might cause problems at home, and my parents are lenient on this matter. I want your words on how to advise her based…

Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah said:
There is no objection for her to sit in front of the suitor so that he may observe her, provided there is no seclusion. She should be accompanied by her father, brother, mother, a female relative, or someone similar. He is not permitted to be alone with her. The…
Questioner: At our school now, we tell the children purely imaginary stories, but they contain educational lessons and may have religious benefit. Is this permissible or not?
Sheikh Albani raḥimahullāh:
It may—and I mean what I say—it may be permissible on the condition that it is understood and firmly impressed upon the student’s mind that it is a fictional story and not a factual reality. But to present…

Beware of Takhbeeb (Inciting Discord)
It was narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allāh be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
((ليس منا من خَبَّبَ امرأةً على زوجِها، أو عبدًا على سيِّدِه))
"He is not one of us who corrupts a woman against her husband, or a servant against his master." [Abu Dawood (2175); authenticated by Sheikh Albani in Ṣaḥīḥ Sunan Abī Dāwūd]
Takhbīb refers to the act of inciting…
