  • Verbally abusing a Muslim for posting religious material on social media

    I have a habit of posting Islamic posts on social media. One day, when a person was checking my profile in front of me, he saw one of these posts and remarked, "What is this (he used slang here)? Do you think people come here for Islam? Does sharing this increase your faith?" What is the ruling on him? I do not know whether he was reviling the contents.. More

  • Ruling on wearing a cross - Building a model brain

    Assalaamu alaykum, my first question is whether or not this statement is correct: It is disbelief if someone intentionally wears a crucifix and while knowing that this is haram. Is it haram to say that? What if someone wears a crucifix but does not believe that Jesus, may Allaah exalt his mention, was crucified? My second question has to do with science... More

  • Giving white skin to both people of Paradise and Hell

    In a hadith, it is mentioned that the residents of paradise will enter Paradise in the best form, with white skin, but are the denizens of hell not white skinned as well? Ibn kathir writes that Al-A`mash related that Ibn `Umar said, “When their skin is burned, they will be given another skin in replacement, and this skin will be white as paper.”.. More

  • Ibn Hajar's statement about regarding what is forbidden as permissible

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding the following statement: Ibn Hajar said in Al-Fath, 1/244, "Regarding forbidden things as permissible is kufr (disbelief), and leading others to kufr is also kufr. However, this view is subject to further examination. The majority of the scholars are of the view that this does not constitute kufr unless.. More

  • Exaggerated fear of the evil eye

    I know about the evil Eye and the risks of it and that we have to protect ourselves against it. But I think that my husband suffers from waswaas (devilish whisperings) regarding that. He tries to hide me and the baby everywhere and from everybody. He does not like anyone to know about us. He gives me other names. He does not tell his brother when he.. More

  • The ruling on whether the Dajjaal's donkey is real or metaphorical

    Assalaamu alaykum. If Allaah did not help the disbeliever/sinner/unjust in the past, will He help them today? Fir'awn (the Pharaoh) and Namrood used all the available resources to claim divinity in the past, will the Dajjaal be provided with his vehicle - i.e. a weird and powerful donkey, as mentioned in the hadiths - by Allah to help him spread afflictions?..

  • The Islamic creed and values are known to be authentic with absolute certainty

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question relates to having absolutely certainty about the core values/beliefs of Islam, like believing that Allaah is one, that He does not have a son, and so on. My friend says that very few things are absolutely certain in life, including most hadiths and the core values/beliefs of our creed. He said that we are obligated to.. More

  • Failing to refute false statements about Jesus does not turn a Muslim into a disbeliever

    Assalamu alaykum. I truly appreciate the work that you do answering questions, and I have a question that is really important and I need advice, Allaah willing. I am very eager to receive your response, Allaah willing, as I am very worried. I go to High School in America, where things are taught from a secular standpoint. Earlier this year, my dad and..

  • Definition of Al-'Ilm Al-Ladunni

    What is Al-'Ilm Al-Ladunni ? Is it based upon the Quran and Sunnah ? .. More

  • Having waswaas regarding the fate of disbelievers' children

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding the faith of the children of the disbelievers. There is a difference of opinion amongst the scholars. Some scholars believe that they will end up in hell while some believe that they will be tested. The belief that they will be tested seems to be the most correct. Is it right to regard the first opinion.. More

  • Supplicating Allaah by the person of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah! Respected scholars, I want to know two things: -1 I have two e-mail addresses, sometimes I send you my questions from both the addresses while your terms and conditions say that one can send only a question per day; am I cheating by doing this because the addresses are two but the sender is same? I just do so because.. More

  • A person may have premonitions about his imminent death

    My mom told me that one of her grandmothers died while saying that she was going to die that day and that she died that very same day while supplicating. Can this story be believed. Please answer my question directly because I am a bit confused about the links to various fatwas that u have sent previously. .. More

  • Number of Prophets not equal to the number of nations

    As I know, a Messenger is the one on whom Allaah has descended the commandments and who is required to lay down the commandments on the people. In one of the hadiths, Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, stated, "There are 313 or 319 messengers that Allaah has sent to different nations." In the Quranic verse mentioned bellow, it says that.. More

  • Claiming that a disbeliever is a Muslim is a lie, not apostasy

    Please, what is the ruling on lying to (two muslims) by telling them that a disbeliever is a muslim (though in the Muslim's heart, he does not believe that this disbeliever is a Muslim)? He is concealing his disbelief and labelling him a muslim. The person that does this knows that lying is haram. But when he does that, he does not know that labeling.. More

  • The number of angels assigned to each person

    Is it true that every person who is born has five angels with him: two angels sit on your shoulders to record your deeds, one is in front and the other is behind you, and then there is a fifth angel that whispers you to do good things while we have a shaytan that tells us to do bad things? ..
