Explanation of Quran
Shaykh Ali ibn Yahya al-Hadadi explains that Allah ﷻ commands believers to fear Him and speak truthfully. Speaking good and truthful words leads to righteous deeds and forgiveness. Obeying Allah ﷻ and His Messenger brings great success in this life and the Hereafter.
Innovations and It’s People
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that books of the people of Sunnah are available, and one must search for them. Relying on innovators or their books is forbidden, as they are like deadly poison, so do not depend on them for knowledge.
Knowledge
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan advises that if scholars are available, you should direct the questioner to them instead of answering yourself. Even if you know the ruling, you may misunderstand or misquote, so it is safer to seek guidance from qualified scholars.
Quran
This passage narrates Prophet Abraham’s pure faith and his confrontation with his people’s idol worship. It highlights his courage, wisdom, and trust in Allah ﷻ, his rescue from the fire, and the promise of righteous offspring. It teaches the power of true monotheism and steadfastness.
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.
Knowledge
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi recalls Shaykh al-Ghudayān saying that anyone who does not spend at least 16 hours a day and night seeking knowledge cannot be considered a true student of knowledge. This highlights the intense dedication required for sincere learning.
Quran
Shaykh Abd al-Muhsin al-Abbad states that ruqya over the phone is not valid. Ruqya requires blowing onto the person being treated, not just recitation heard through a call. Therefore, remote ruqya is not acceptable.
Knowledge
Shaykh Abd al-Muhsin al-Abbad explains that tazkiyah is not mandatory for da’wah. A person may teach if he has knowledge and is known to be beneficial. However, if he is unknown, people may require a tazkiyah for reassurance.
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.
Knowledge
Shaykh Abdullah al-Ghudayan explains that knowledge must be taken from qualified scholars. A woman who learns only from translated books and tapes without proper guidance should not teach others. Teaching without correct understanding can lead to mistakes and burden her with others’ sins.
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.
Knowledge
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali explains that tazkiyah is necessary for teaching and giving fatwa. A student must be known for his knowledge or have a scholarly commendation. If he is unknown and lacks tazkiyah, he should not teach or issue rulings.
