Shaykh al-Albani explains that forming Islamic organisations or unions is not permissible in Islam because it leads to hizbiyyah (partisanship). He emphasizes that Islam does not support forming separate groups or parties based on religious labels.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali strongly criticizes a group on al-Oloom.net, calling them ignorant and liars. He accuses them of misquoting and spreading false statements, especially regarding his fatwa on elections, and highlights the need for accurate representation of scholars’ views.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymin explains that terrorism harms Islam’s image and drives people away from the faith. Acts like bombings are not Jihad and are rejected. Islam is free from such violence, and true change must come through wisdom and proper guidance.

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that if someone repents from calling people to falsehood, Allah may forgive him. However, he must openly announce his repentance and denounce any false books or tapes he produced, so people cannot dispute his past actions.

Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali explains that boycotting an innovator is not limited to a specific time, but must follow clear advice and warning. If the person persists and spreads innovation, then boycotting is required until they repent. Shaykh Rabīʿ and Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan stress avoiding innovators to protect one’s faith.

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan clarifies that calling Uthman’s introduction of the Friday athan an innovation is itself an innovation. Uthman, a rightly guided caliph, enacted it to alert people for Jumu’ah, and it became a Sunnah, not a bid’ah.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali explains that placing the right hand over the left on the chest after rising from ruku’ has the same ruling as before ruku’. The Prophet ﷺ instructed that the hands be placed on the chest while standing, and standing includes both before and after ruku’.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan confirms that raising the voice in dhikr after prayer is a Sunnah. It was practiced by the Prophet ﷺ, his companions, and early generations. Ibn ʿAbbās noted that they could tell the prayer had ended by hearing the dhikr.

Shaykh Abdullah al-Bukhari explains that those who defend innovators are either unaware or knowingly supporting them. The first should be educated, while the second must be warned and avoided. Boycotting is essential, but advising can still occur without companionship or friendship.
Purification and Ablution
Shaykh Abd al-Aziz Aal-Shaykh states that reading the Quran from a phone is permissible even without wudu. Since the phone is not an actual mus’haf, the usual rules for handling the physical Quran do not apply, so there is no issue.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that Friday ghusl is for those attending the Friday prayer, both men and women. It is meant to remove odours and clean oneself. Performing it is a recommended Sunnah for those who join the congregation.
Miscellaneous
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan states that eating the meat of Jews and Christians is generally permissible because they are People of the Book. However, if it is known that they do not slaughter according to Islamic rules, then their meat becomes impermissible, just like a Muslim who does not follow proper slaughter.
