  • Boasting about sins to gain fame

    Assalaamu alaykum. As far as I know, regarding things that have been unanimously agreed upon to be haram as halal is Kufr (disbelief). What is the ruling on someone who does not regard a haram thing as halal but boasts about doing it in order to become reputed in his circle? For example, someone boasts about how he flirts with girls and so on; is that.. More

  • Asking non-Muslim parents to settle disputes is not Tahaakum to Taaghoot

    Assalamu alaykum. This question might be from Waswaas (devilish whisperings), but I will try to keep it simple as I suffer from Waswaas and need an urgent answer. It is well known that if you do Tahaakum to the Taaghoot (false gods), it is Kufr Akbar (major disbelief). Tahaakum means when two or more disputing parties refer their dispute to a third.. More

  • Drinking lot of water to treat magic

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu Shaykh. I was told that drinking water is good for me because sorcery was done on me. I want to know whether I would be doing something against the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,by drinking even when I am full or almost full, as the hadith says, “The son of Adam does not..

  • Religion of jinn before Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam

    I want to know what the religion of the jinn was before Muhammad's, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, mission? Did they believe in previous Holy Books or any other Prophets before Muhammad, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam? Why do they have to consider themselves to rely on the religion whose leader is a man? Is their world not separate from ours? .. More

  • Declaring members of deviant sects to be Kaafirs

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have one question regarding the Ahmadiyyah, the Alawites, and other similar sects that have been classified as disbelievers by scholars. I know that they are disbelieving sects, but I do want to ask: do we say that all their members are disbelievers, or are some of their members excused to to ignorance? For example if the proof..

  • Prophets higher in status than Awliyaa'

    Assalaamu alaykum. I do not have the knowlegde of those verses and narrations regarding the creed that the Prophets of Allaah are higher in status than any other creation and that it is disbelief to believe that any saint is better than the Prophets. I seriously need proof from the Quran and the Sunnah to show them to the persons who have the opposite.. More

  • Ruling on papers that may contain amulet written in Arabic

    Assalaamu alaykum. I recently got married and my wife is not very practicing in following islam; Allaah willing, she is just learning. My issue is, I have accidently found some papers and notes in the Arabic language in my wife's purse. Me and my wife cannot read arabic and cannot understand it. They are handwritten, and it does not seem to me like.. More

  • Addressing Allaah with third person pronoun

    Assalaamu alaykum. Thank you for replying to my message. This question is bothering me a lot, and I pray to Allah to satisfy my search through your advice. In Islam, we see everywhere that Allaah, The Exalted, loves His slaves to praise, worship, respect, and honor him. We always show our respect to elders and people of high ranks by addressing them..

  • Judging that someone will enter Hellfire is of two kinds: general and specific

    Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh. I read that we Muslims are obligated to believe that Christians, Jews and other people who do not follow Islam are Kafirs (disbelievers) and cannot doubt their Kufr (disbelief). I also know that we believe that when proof has been established against these people and they refuse Islam and do not repent and after that they die,.. More

  • Similarity of Paradise to wordily life only in names

    I have heard that you claim in your fatwa that nothing resembles Paradise except in name only? Does this mean that the descriptions are simply analogies and are not meant to be taken literally? If so, then what is the purpose of the description? What have the scholars said? .. More

  • Statement of Ibn Hazm about ruling on one who mocks Allaah

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have read a statement of Ibn Hazm in which he says that anyone who mocks Allaah is regarded a disbeliever after showing him the evidence. The source is: Al-fasi fi aAl-Malal wal Ahwa wal Nihal 3/299. However, I have often read that there is no excuse of ignorance regarding the disbelief of insulting Allaah or the religion. You said..

  • Saying that something is right or wrong in Islam without knowledge

    Assalaamu alaykum. If someone commits Kufr (disbelief) by saying that something that is wrong is the right thing or by stating that something is permissible when it is impermissible, then for his repentance to be accepted, does he have to correct this statement in front of whomever he had said it to? ..

  • Ruling on denying jinn possession of humans

    Does believing in when jinn hunt someone or not believing in it affect one's faith and whether one will go to hell or Paradise? Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. .. More

  • Impossibility of Allaah lying

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have heard scholars say that it is wrong to say that Allaah, The Exalted, can lie. Defects are not under His Power, since lying is a defect and Allah, The Exalted, is free from all defects. It is not possible for Allaah to tell a lie. Can we still say that it is possible for Allaah to lie? May Allaah reward you. .. More

  • Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen's view on ignorance as excuse

    Assalamu alaykum. I read that Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said the following inLiqaa’aat Al-Baab Al-Maftooh (33/question no. 12): "The excuse of ignorance is what is indicated by the Qur’an and Sunnah, as was stated by the leading scholars such as Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him), and Shaykh Al-Islam Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Al-Wahhaab..
