The Ruling on Photography and Video Recording

Shaykh ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz Ibn Bāz explains that the default ruling on photography is impermissible, based on authentic ḥadīth condemning picture makers. He notes exceptions for necessity, such as identification photos or medical imaging, and later permits recordings of lectures and seminars when they benefit the Muslim community.

Is There No Saved Sect Today?

The Prophet ﷺ promised that a group following the truth will always exist until the Hour. Therefore, the claim that no saved sect exists today is false. The Qurʾān and Sunnah confirm the continuous presence of the true community, and those who deny this are following personal desires rather than guidance.

Is Criticising ISIS Like Criticising Rulers?

Criticising ISIS is not equivalent to criticising Muslim rulers. ISIS rose through rebellion against established systems and is unanimously rejected by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Their actions align with the Khawārij, and therefore they must be condemned according to the Qurʾān, Sunnah and the methodology of the Salaf.

What Should We Call People to First?

The primary focus of dawah should be Tawhīd and exclusive devotion to Allah ﷻ, as taught by the Messengers ﷺ and the Salaf. Once Tawhīd is established, addressing sectarian deviations becomes easier. Salafism is not a slogan but a way of life based on the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ and the Pious Predecessors.

Speaking ill of Foreign Muslim Rulers

It is not permissible to insult or speak ill of Muslim rulers merely because they are not one’s own. Such behaviour leads to division and encourages reciprocal abuse. One may critique errors in general, but naming and shaming a ruler is forbidden. Praise and respect should be maintained for leaders who uphold Islamic law.

Advice for a Sister with Obsessive Thoughts

Obsessions can be psychological or spiritual. Compulsive obsessions require medical treatment, while evil suggestions from Shayṭān should be met with seeking refuge in Allah ﷻ, good deeds, and prayer for others. Intrusive blasphemous thoughts should be rejected, followed by remembrance and supplication, as the Shayṭān’s plots are ultimately powerless.

Books to Refute Christians

For debating Christians, Ibn Taymiyyah’s al-Jawāb al-Ṣaḥīḥ and its abridged version are essential. Other recommended works include Ibn Qayyim’s Hidāyat al-Ḥayārā and rebuttals by al-Qarāfī and al-Juwaynī. The Qurʾān itself remains the most powerful source for refuting false Christian claims.

Is Mocking Religion Clear Unbelief?

Mocking Islam, the Qurʾān, the Prophet ﷺ, or any aspect of the religion is clear unbelief. The Qurʾān explicitly condemns those who mock Allah ﷻ and His Messenger.ﷺ If done knowingly and without coercion, it constitutes major disbelief, though the formal ruling is the responsibility of the ruler, not the ordinary Muslim.

Working in Mixed-Gender Jobs in the West

When work in the West inevitably involves mixed-gender environments, it is permitted if the believer can control their gaze, avoid temptation, and ensure no unlawful seclusion occurs. If there is no alternative and the person genuinely needs the work, they may choose the lesser of two evils, with caution and self-restraint.

Are There American Bases in Saudi Arabia?

The claim that American military bases exist in Saudi Arabia is false. The largest American base in the region is in Qatar’s al-`Udayd district. The allegation is used by the Khawārij and the Muslim Brotherhood to discredit Saudi Arabia, which has no such bases or attacks launched from its territory.
