Strange New Courses: An Isnad for the Athan!


Question: There is a course where the students will learn the Athan with a chain of narration going back to Bilal (may Allah be Pleased with him), have you heard of this before?

Shaykh Asim al-Quryuti (may Allah Preserve him): No, by Allah - Allah's Aid is Sought.

TN: this is a course which is being offered where people are told that they can learn to call the Athan just like the way Bilal (may Allah be Pleased with him) used to call it but the claims to have a chain of narration back to him are all lies. 

For a detailed response (in Arabic) please read the following article by Shaykh Abd al-Haqq Turkmani where the Shaykh exposes the chain to be full of unknown narrators: https://turkmani.com/articles/248

al-Jaami: He Studied Usool at-Thalatha then He Issues His Opinion on People!

 


You have only studied Usool at-Thalatha then you sit in the corner and issue rulings upon people, "Such and such person is a Taghoot", "Such and such person is a Jaahil", "Such and such person is an innovator", "The one who doesn't make Tabdee' is a Mubtadi' himself!" Fataawa that come out of the window and from the corners of the Masaajid and from houses from those who have still not studied anything whatsoever! Have mercy on the people. Rather, have mercy on yourselves. This is a mistake. 

-Shaykh Muhammad Amaan bin Ali al-Jaami (may Allah have Mercy on him), former teacher in the Prophet's Masjid in al-Madinah

Bin Baz: It is Not Permitted for a Muslim to Hate Life

 


لا يجوز للمسلم أن يكره الحياة وييأس فيما عند الله تعالى من فرجٍ وخير، والواجب عليه أن يصبر على ما يلاقيه من أقدار الله.

فتاوى اللجنة الدائمة (25/398)

It is not permitted for a Muslim to hate life and to despair with what is with Allah (the Most High) from relief and goodness. It is obligatory upon him to be patient with what they meet from the Decrees of Allah.

Fatwaa for The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Verdicts, 25/398

Q: Benefitting from the Services of Muslims


 

Question: there is a person who provides electronic services for Masjid but he provides his services for the people of Bid'ah as well as Ahl as-Sunnah. Is it permitted for us to cooperate with him?

Shaykh Sa'd bin Nasir ash-Shathri (Allah Preserve him): Permissible  

Q: Laying Flowers at the Place of an Incident


 

Question: The customs of the non-Muslims here is that if a person dies at a place of an incident, they leave flowers at the location where he died. Is it for the Muslim to act upon the customs or is this imitating non-Muslims?

Shaykh Sa'd bin Nasir ash-Shathri (Allah Preserve him): Do not do it

Q: Does Shirk have the excuse of ignorance?


Question: One of the brothers understand from your talk that if a person falls into Shirk, he never has an excuse. Is this correct?

Shaykh Sa'd bin Nasir ash-Shathri: Tawbah removes what came before it (i.e. his Tawbah will remove the sin whilst he is alive) 

Q: Is Being a Referee Haram?


Question: is being a referee in football considered as legislating by other than what Allah has revealed?

Shaykh Sa'd ash-Shathri (Allah preserve him): No
