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?

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?

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.

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.. More

Predicting gender of fetus by ring and thread forbidden divination
I am pregnant by my husband, and there is an old wives' tale about gender prediction that says that if you hold a ring and thread over your stomach you will know whether it is a boy or a girl because of how the ring moves. My husband, who is Muslim, says that he cannot do this and cannot believe in it because it is a form of divination. To me, it is.. More

Judging people who make mocking statements about religion
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. In my state, there are people who consider themselves Muslims (some of them pray sometimes, and some do not pray but just have Muslims names and consider themselves Muslims). Some of those people sometimes hear that one person who is good at practicing Islam (praying, doing Hajj, having a beard, and similar things).. More

Moving to non-Muslim country to earn money and settle debt
Assalaamu alaykum. I recently made Hijrah (emigration) from the USA to a Gulf country, praise be to Allah. However, after I arrived here I had issues with the folks at my work and left for another job with a considerably lower pay. For me, as long as the salary is enough to get by, it is ok. However, as a young man in the USA, I was very irresponsible.. More
