Ramaḍān and Fasting
Shaykh Muqbil explains that if a person is permanently ill and doctors say recovery is unlikely, he may break the fast and instead feed a poor person for each missed day. This ruling follows the Quranic allowance for those who cannot fast due to illness.
Ramaḍān and Fasting
Shaykh Muqbil explains that using a siwak (toothstick) during fasting is permissible, even if green. However, toothpaste should be avoided in Ramadan to prevent the risk of swallowing it. There is no clear evidence that toothpaste breaks the fast, but caution is recommended.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Muhammad Bazmul states that anyone defending Abūl-Ḥasan al-Marʿibī is treated like a supporter of innovation. They are advised to return to the truth, and if they refuse, they are warned against, avoided, and their gatherings are not attended.
Ramaḍān and Fasting
Shaykh Muqbil explains that using perfumes, incense, oud, and sprays is generally permissible while fasting. However, one should avoid perfumes and colognes that contain alcohol, both during Ramadan and outside of it, as alcohol is proven to be present in many of these fragrances.

Shaykh Muqbil advises that a sick person may break the fast and make it up later when medicine is needed during Ramadan. Using eye, nose, or mouth drops does not invalidate fasting unless the medicine reaches the throat, which often happens, so caution is recommended.

Shaykh Muqbil states that injections for treatment are generally allowed while fasting, but nutritive injections should be avoided. He advises the sick person to break the fast to avoid doubt and make it up later. The Saudi Permanent Committee confirms this ruling.

Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’i states that having a tooth removed does not break the fast even if some blood is swallowed. However, he advises delaying the procedure until after iftar when possible, to avoid harm and ensure safety.

Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’i explains that neither fainting nor vomiting invalidates the fast. He notes that the hadith stating involuntary vomiting does not require making up the fast is weak, and therefore should not be relied upon.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Rabi al-Madkhali explains that al-Jarh wa al-Ta’dil is not merely scholarly interpretation but a proven methodology grounded in Qur’an, Sunnah, and the Salaf’s practice. Rejecting reliable criticism undermines the foundations of Islamic knowledge and the principles of the Salafī methodology.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan states that claiming the first Jumu‘ah adhan was an innovation and labeling ʿUthmān a non-Sunni is itself a bid‘ah. He emphasizes that ʿUthmān is a rightly-guided caliph, and such claims show ignorance of the difference between Sunnah and innovation.
Muslim Brotherhood and Political Groups
Shaykh Muhammad Aman al-Jami explains that the Ikhwan focus on gathering large numbers without teaching proper Islamic guidance. In contrast, the Salafi approach prioritizes education, purification, and nurturing Muslims with correct beliefs, worship, and manners.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’i explains that it is not required for many scholars to criticize an innovator for the criticism to be valid. If a trustworthy scholar presents clear evidence of misguidance, it must be accepted, even if no one else has spoken about the person.
