Quran
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan says listening to the Qur’an before sleeping is good. However, if you fall asleep and are not actually listening, then there is no benefit in it. The reward comes only when you listen and reflect.
Marriage
Shaykh Sulaymān al-Ruhaylī explains that marriage made with the intention of divorce is not permissible. It either becomes a temporary marriage or deceit, harming the woman and violating Islamic ethics. He emphasizes that such intentions contradict the honor and justice Islam commands.
Quran
This narration tells of Yaḥyā ibn Yaḥyā al-Zimī encountering Shayṭān, who admits his goal is to spread false beliefs. Shaykh Rabīʿ al-Madkhalī explains the story’s lesson: the innovators are Shayṭān’s successors, and even Shayṭān himself may declare the Qur’ān uncreated while spreading doubts and lies.
Marriage
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi explains that there is nothing wrong in a woman marrying a man who is already married. It is permissible for a woman to marry a man with one, two, or three wives, and she should not avoid him for that reason.
Marriage
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that a marriage without a guardian (walī) is null and void. A valid marriage requires a walī, consent of both spouses, and two upright witnesses. Without these conditions, the marriage is not considered valid.
Marriage
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that a first wife cannot prevent her husband from marrying again nor can she make it a condition to be informed. The key requirement is justice, and the husband must treat all wives equally regardless of whether the first wife knows.
Family Affairs
Shaykh Ibn Baz states that it is permissible to use henna mixed with egg yolk or other natural ingredients for hair care, as long as it benefits the hair, such as strengthening, smoothing, or preventing hair loss. There is no harm in doing so.
Prayer
Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi’i explains that women may attend the mosque for Tarawih, but they must be without makeup and perfume. The Prophet ﷺ permitted women to go to the mosque only if they are unadorned and not attractive to others.
Advice and Admonition
Shaykh Muhammad al-Uthaymin explains that when you make an oath, secretly say “In shā Allah ﷻ.” This makes it easier for you to fulfill the oath, and if it doesn’t happen, you won’t need to pay expiation. It’s a simple but powerful practice.
Miscellaneous
A man earned money through singing before accepting Islam. After guidance, he asks whether this wealth is permissible to keep. Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi’i explains that since it was earned in a state of disbelief, it is allowed, and may be spent on needs or charity.
Seeking Knowledge
Shaykh Muhammad al-Jami outlines the essential books a new student should begin with, covering ʿaqīdah, tafsīr, ḥadīth, and fiqh. He emphasizes memorization, studying with scholars, and gradually advancing from fundamentals to more detailed works.
Advice and Admonition
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains the duties of a child after their parents’ death. This includes making duʿā, seeking forgiveness, fulfilling their wills and debts, maintaining family ties, and honoring their friends—actions that continue to benefit the parents even after they have passed.
