Shaykh Muhammad al-Wasabi explains that leaving a wife in labour is permissible only if she is properly cared for and provided for financially. If no one is left to support her, then the husband is sinful and must repent.
Explanation of Narrations
Shaykh al-Uthaymīn explains that enjoining good and forbidding evil is a compulsory duty. If the Ummah neglects it, Allah’s ﷻ punishment may descend and supplications may go unanswered. True reform requires sincere intention, not revenge or arrogance, to guide others toward Allah ﷻ.
Explanation of Narrations
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan confirms that a true Muslim congregation still exists today. He cites the Prophet ﷺ, who promised that a group of believers will remain steadfast on the truth until Allah’sﷻ decree arrives, despite opposition or abandonment by others.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan reminds Muslims that commanding good and preventing evil is everyone’s duty, not only the official bodies. Each person is responsible for their household and community according to their ability, even if it is only by rejecting evil in the heart.
Family Affairs
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan says it is not permissible to kiss the head of a parent who does not pray or only prays sometimes, because kissing expresses love. However, you must still treat them well in worldly matters, just without showing affectionate gestures like kissing.
Family Affairs
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan advises that if a brother does not pray or fast, he is not considered a Muslim. Therefore, the believer should not live with him in the same house; either the brother should leave or the believer should leave to avoid sharing a home with someone neglecting essential duties.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan clarifies that scholars have not declared buying American products forbidden. Boycotting is not obligatory unless ordered by the Muslim ruler. Individuals cannot declare such products prohibited, as this would be forbidding what Allah has permitted.
Family Affairs
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that the Prophet ﷺ meant women should be safeguarded from oppression, neglect, and mistreatment. Their rights must be preserved, and they should be cared for responsibly, avoiding both abuse and abandonment, while maintaining balance, chastity, and family duties.
Miscellaneous
Shaykh Salih Aal-Shaykh explains that sincerity is essential for a caller to Islam. A daʿī should avoid earning a salary tied to his work, but may accept support or an allowance from the community to help him continue the mission, as long as it is not conditional on his efforts.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan advises that a masjid should not be closed due to financial difficulties. Instead, the community should seek support from Muslims, including charitable individuals and businessmen, to help pay off loans and ensure the masjid remains open for prayer and worship.
Miscellaneous
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan states that a caller must learn before giving daʿwah. If someone calls people to innovation, they are not a true caller. Daʿwah requires knowledge to answer questions correctly and avoid defeat in debates, so learning is essential first.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Ibn Baz says it is better not to pass the charity box among worshippers, as it may embarrass them. Instead, announce that donations are welcome and let people give voluntarily. This method is safer and more respectful.
