Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that the correct practice follows the Prophet’s ﷺ example: after sunset, he would break his fast with dates or water and then proceed to pray Maghrib. Therefore, one should break the fast first, then perform the prayer.
Shaykh Muḥammad Nasir al-Dīn al-Albānī affirms the disbelief and misguidance of many Shīʿī scholars, especially among the Rāfiḍa. He cites examples such as Khomeinī, who openly declared his disbelief in his work The Islamic State, highlighting the clear deviation in their teachings.
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan states that those who slander the Companions and deny the innocence of ʿĀʾisha are disbelievers, and their sacrifices should not be eaten. He also warns that many Sufis have fallen into grave worship and supplication to others besides Allah ﷻ, which is disbelief and shirk.
Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Hādī al-Madkhali explains that if the ʾadhān of Fajr is called while a person is having intercourse during Ramadan, it is obligatory to stop immediately. There is no blame upon the person for doing so, and the fast remains valid.
Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Hādī al-Madkhali advises that if a Muslim is invited to eat during the day in Ramadan, they should clearly explain that fasting is obligatory and eating is prohibited. They should state this politely, as if they are in a non-Muslim environment.
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan describes the Ramadan practices of the Salaf, who dedicated themselves to worship and reduced worldly affairs. They spent time in the masājid, guarded their fast, avoided backbiting, recited the Qurʾān, and engaged in night prayer and good deeds throughout the day.
Shaykh Salih al-Luhaydan advises students to abandon Yahya al-Hajuri and seek knowledge elsewhere, emphasising that knowledge is not confined to one teacher. He stresses that defending a scholar is only permissible if one is certain of their soundness and absence of innovation.
Shaykh ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Bāz explains that the saying “those who only know Allah ﷻ in Ramadan will not be successful” is attributed to the Salaf and refers to those who abandon obligatory worship after Ramadan. He clarifies that neglecting voluntary acts outside Ramadan is not sinful.
Shaykh Salih al-Luhaydan explains that a traveller should shorten prayers only if staying less than four days. If the intention is to remain for more than four days, the traveller should perform the full prayers and not shorten them.
Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī explains that intentions for fasting are required daily, based on the Prophet’s ﷺ teaching that actions are judged by intentions. He clarifies that intention is internal, not verbal, and that waking for suḥūr and abstaining from food and drink suffice.
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains the correct definition of innovation and warns against falsely labelling others as innovators. He states that true innovators must be advised, and if they persist, they and their followers are to be boycotted and avoided, as they share the same error.
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that, for the people of the Sunnah and Jamāʿah, there is no such thing as a good innovation. He emphasises the Prophet’s ﷺ statement that every innovation is misguidance, and warns that claiming otherwise rejects the Prophet’s ﷺ teaching.
