  • Visiting famous palm reader

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Is it forbidden in Islam to visit a palm reader? I intend to visit Ketut Liyer, a palm reader, in Bali. I do not believe in palmistry, nor do I even have a curiosity to know what he might tell me. The purpose of that visit will be to meet Ketut Liyer, who appeared in the movie "Eat, Pray and Love"...

  • Stopping imposter from deceiving and harming people

    Assalaamu alaykum and Ramadan Mubarak. My question is the following: I found out that a man does Ruqyah (healing through Quran and supplications) and Hijaamah (cupping) for others. However, he works with the jinn; he also has co-workers just for business. I also found out that he touches women and then makes advances later on towards younger girls... More

  • Insulting Islam unknowingly

    What if a person insults Islam while not knowing that he did so? For example, a person mocks someone's prostration because they think the prostration is to an idol. But the prostration was in fact part of a Sunnah prayer. .. More

  • Whether mispronouncing Inshaa' Allaah is Kufr or not

    Assalaamu alaykum. I know that it is prescribed to say Inshaa' Allaah (Allaah willing). However, if a person says Ishaa'Allaah instead of saying Inshaa'Allaah, would this amount to disbelief? If any of the Arab brothers in the fatwa centre could please explain to me what this means, I would greatly appreciate it. The reason why I am asking is because.. More

    I wear the hijab given that I am Muslim, but I do apply lipstick, not with the intention to adorn myself, but in order to avoid the stares and undue attention that people give me, as well as theirquestioning me as to whether I am feeling well or not because of my pale lips and ill look. I know that it is a sin to do so, but am I commiting minor Shirk.. More

  • What Abu Hayyaan said about those who claim to know the unseen

    I want to ask about the commentary of Abu Hayyaan Al-Andalusi on verse 188 of Surah Al-A'raf, from Tafsir Al-Bahr Al-Muheet, if not all of it, then please at least tell us a gist of that when he is talking about the people of Egypt regarding their claim of so and so having knowledge of the Unseen.

  • 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

  • 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
