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.
Women and Ḥijāb
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.
Masjid Administration and Maintenance
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 Reminders
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.
Financial Transactions
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 and Teaching 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.
Parents and Children
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.
Death, Grave and Hereafter
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan answers nine common questions about the jinn, covering their sight, places, religions, attendance at gatherings, the concept of qarīn, and their need for provisions. He also clarifies what is known and what remains unknown in the religion.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmi explains that boycotting must have a clear benefit, especially to guide people back to the truth. If boycotting increases stubbornness, then it is not required. Instead, avoid closeness and kindness, but greet if approached, and maintain moderation without exaggeration.
Ḥajj and ʿUmrah
Shaykh Ibn Baz explains that Hajj is valid even if a person has debt, but clearing the debt should be prioritized. Hajj is only obligatory for those who are able, while repaying debt is obligatory, so one should settle debts first unless they can do both together.
