  • Learning worldly sciences is communal obligation

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am from Bangladesh. In my country, Islamic studies are not taught appropriately in normal schools. So, for many years, the best centers for Islamic studies were madrasas.

  • Expiating for breaking oath several times regarding only one thing

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. I used to think one was to offer an expiation for every single broken oath made to Allaah, The Exalted, irrespective of whether they have to do with the same action or not, but according to fatwa no 311782 and after some recent reading and research, it seems to me that one only has to offer one expiation if the multiple..

  • Intention in supplicating

    Assalaamu alaykum. Please answer me directly; I would be grateful to you! Does the intention depend on supplication?

Can these things be accepted by Allaah without holding an intention, like.. More

    When I was young, I stole a sum of money from a person who used to drink alcohol and commit all kinds of sins.
