Jurisprudence
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali warns that living in non Muslim countries is dangerous, as it may lead to deviation and loss of religious authority over children. Muslims are advised to migrate to Muslim lands unless there is a genuine necessity that cannot be fulfilled elsewhere.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that performing wudū and praying two rakaʿāt as repentance is reported in hadith, but it is not obligatory. Repentance is valid at any time, with or without this prayer, as long as it is sincere.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan states that charging a phone in the masjid is allowed only if the mosque authorities permit it. If they prohibit it, then it is not allowed. It is a minor matter but must follow the rules set by the masjid.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Ibn Baz explains that saying the repentance phrase seven times brings great forgiveness, especially when the person truly repents. True repentance includes abandoning the sin, feeling remorse, and resolving not to return. Rights of others must also be restored.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Abdullah al-Adani explains that if a woman is motivated to pray Tarawih at home, it is better. But if she is lazy, praying in the mosque is allowed. Women should not be prevented from attending, yet must follow proper rules like modest dress and avoiding perfume.
Fasting
If a pregnant woman suffers severe vomiting during Ramadan, Shaykh ʿUbayd al-Jābirī advises that she should not fast. After childbirth, she should make up the missed days when she is able.
Fasting
Shaykh Muhammad al-Wasabi clarifies that using the miswak does not invalidate the fast, as long as nothing from it is swallowed.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that if a person prays without wudu and later remembers, he must make ablution and repeat the prayers, since purification is a condition for valid prayer and is not excused by forgetfulness.
Fasting
Shaykh Ubayd al-Jabiri clarifies that giving reminders between the units of the Tarawih prayer has no basis in the practice of the Prophet ﷺ, his Companions, or the early Imams, and is therefore considered an innovation.
Fasting
Shaykh Muhammad Aman al-Jami explains that fasting Shaʿbān in full or mostly is a confirmed Sunnah. However, the practice of fasting only the middle day and worshipping that night is an innovation and not permitted. The Prophet ﷺ did not prescribe it.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan advises that a masjid should not be closed due to financial difficulties. Instead, the community should seek support from Muslims, including charitable individuals and businessmen, to help pay off loans and ensure the masjid remains open for prayer and worship.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Ibn Baz says it is better not to pass the charity box among worshippers, as it may embarrass them. Instead, announce that donations are welcome and let people give voluntarily. This method is safer and more respectful.
