  • Statement of Ibn Abd Al-Haadi about visiting Prophets' graves

    As-Subki quoted the following from Ibn Al-‘Arabi: "But the visitor of a grave should not seek to benefit from the deceased, because this is an innovation. Benefiting is only allowed from the grave of Prophet Muhammad and other Prophets." [Sharh Al-Muwatta by Ibn Al-‘Arabi, As-Saarim Al-Munki chapter 4] Ibn Abdul-Haadi replied in great detail. Please,..

  • Not correcting sinner is not disbelief

    Assalaamu alaykum, Sir. Please tell me, if you see anyone involved in any sin or committing (an act of) disbelief but he does not know about it while I do know that that thing is very serious but at the same time I do not have any courage or dare not to correct him, will I also become a disbeliever in that case? I do hate the sin/disbelief in my heart;.. More

  • Ruling on Muslim who says that Jesus is his god

    My question is simple: what if a Muslim says, "Jesus is my God"? What will happen? What if the person who says that was a Christian before? What if it is a female and she was emotional and stupid? .. More

  • Keeping needed videos and books that have image of cross

    Assalaamu alaykum. I apologize for sending so many questions, but I am confused with the matter of having the cross in my possession. Suppose that I have videos of history or books or any other objects that have a cross in it and I am unable to erase it from some, especially in video form, what do I do? Can I let it be as it will not be displayed everytime.. More

  • Whether Prophets or Ummah of Muhammad enter Paradise first

    I heard from my childhood that we, the Ummah (community) of Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, will enter Paradise first and that the other Ummahs of the rest of the Prophets, peace be upon them, will enter next. The question is: will the other Prophets also enter Paradise after the Ummah of Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam? As we know,.. More

  • Whether Al-Badee‘ is of the Names of Allah

    I have been looking in Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen’s Al-Qawaa‘id Al-Muthlaa to find the name Al-Badee‘, but I could not find it. However, in surat Al-Baqarah 2:117 "Badee‘ (Originator) of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, “Be,” and it is" Ibn Kathir mentioned in his Tafseer (Quran exegesis) (The Badee‘[Originator].. More

  • All malice removed from hearts of people of Paradise

    Assalaamu alaykum. Some say that there is a contradiction because 7:43 says that we will not have malice while 83:34 says that we will. May Allaah reward you. .. More

  • How retribution among people is exacted in the Hereafter is matter of Unseen

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question about the Scale on the Day of Judgement. I have heard that the good deeds of the non-Muslims will be scattered to dust. If a non-Muslim owes a Muslim good deeds, does this mean that they cannot transfer good deeds to them? And if a Muslim owes a non-Muslim good deeds, will these good deeds turn into dust after being..

  • No hadeeth mentions the parents of the Antichrist

    I have read two different hadiths that depict something different. Likewise, in one of the hadiths, Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam,said that the Antichrist was born in a Jewish Family, and in another hadith, he said that he was born into the Khawaarij (Kharijites). How do you explain this; will he be from the Jews or from Khawaarij? .. More

  • Gog and Magog are two tribes, not two men

    You said in fatwa 22215 that Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj (Gog and Magog) are two tribes who descend from Adam, peace be upon him. They are like other humans; they eat, drink, marry, reproduce, and die". How can this be possible? If they are like any other humans, then they must have died by now, as they have been living for centuries, and yet they are still.. More

  • Participating in non-religious festivals of non-Muslims

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Shaykh, can you provide me the explanation of the verse: {For every religion We have appointed rites which they perform…} [Quran 22:67]? Does the verse give us (Muslims) permission to participate in their festivals like birthdays (individual birthdays), wedding anniversaries, company anniversaries,.. More

  • Dajjaal will not ascend Mount Uhud

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu Shaykh. The Dajjaal (Antichrist) will not be able to enter Makkah and Madeenah. My question is about the boundaries of Makkah and Madeenah. Are they the boundaries that were present at the time of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam? I actually heard this hadith: The Messenger of Allaah,.. More

  • Women in Paradise will see Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam

    Assalaamu alaykum. Will women be able to see their friends and the female believers of this world, like ‘A’ishah etc., and will women be able to see the Prophet, sallallahu ʻalayhi wa sallam. .. More

  • Treating Jinn possession by inhaling smoke

    Assalaamu alaykum. A person who treats magic told a relative of mine that he has been possessed by a jinn. So he gave my relative some water for Ruqyah (healing through Quranic recitation and supplication). He also gave some clothed sticks and told my relative to burn them and inhale the smoke. Is this type of treatment ok? I mean: inhaling smoke? It.. More

  • Our assumptions have no effect on our destiny

    Assalaamu alaykum. Sir, I wanted to know whether our thinking has any effect upon our destiny. I mean, it is said that if we think positive, then positive things happen, and that negative things happen if we think negative things. I mean, the hadith Qudsi says, "I am as my slave thinks I am..." So if we say that Allah listens to our supplication, He.. More
