[Quote] ​Academic refutations are of two types / Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan

Academic refutations are of two types:

Refutations which are issued by the people of knowledge, understanding and insight in order to clarify the truth and disprove the falsehood. These ones are beneficial and they are a must.

As for the refutations which stem from the ignorant and the unskilled students of knowledge, or the refutations which stem from whims and desires, then these are refutations which are impermissible because they harm and don't benefit.


(However) as for the correct refutations which have been issued by the people of knowledge and are based on clarifying the truth and not upon whims, then these are a must because it is not permissible to remain silent about the people of falsehood who/while they spread their misguidance and mislead the (Muslim) Ummah and its youth.

قال الشيخ صالح الفوزان حفظه الله: الردود العلمية على قسمين: الردود الصادرة عن أهل العلم والمعرفة والبصرية لبيان الحق ودحض الباطل، فهذه مفيدة ولابد منها. أما الردود التي تصدر عن الجهال والطلاب غير المتمكنين أو الردود التي تصدر عن أهواء ورغبات فهذه ردود لا تجوز لأنها تضر ولا تنفع. أما الردود الصحيحة الصادرة عن أهل العلم المعتمدة على بيان الحق لا على الهوى فهذه لابد منها لأنه لا يجوز السكوت عن أهل الضلال ينشرون ضلالهم ويغررون بالأمة وشباب الأمة [شرح منظومة الآداب شريط ٣٣]

[Quote] Reading one Ayah with contemplation

Reading one Āyah with contemplation and understanding is better than reading a (whole) Khatmah (one complete reading of the Qur'ān) without contemplation and understanding. It is more beneficial for the heart, and more likely to assist in gaining Īmān and the taste of the sweetness of the Qur'ān.[1]

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him

Footnote by translator:
[1] He (Allāh), Exalted is He, says: {(This is) a Book (the Quran) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember.} [Sūrah Sād 38:29]

ﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﺑﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﻢ ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ

[Quotes] ​The body parts are going to bear witness on the Day of Judgement

Allāh, Glorified and Exalted is He, says in His Book:

{On the Day when their tongues, their hands, and their legs or feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do.} [Sūrah An-Nūr 24:24]

{This Day, We shall seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their legs will bear witness to what they used to earn.} [Surah Yāsīn 36:65]

The great mufassir, Imam Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabarī said: "It is said that one's left thigh will be the first to bear the witness."[1]

{Till, when they reach it (Hell-fire), their hearing (ears) and their eyes, and their skins will testify against them as to what they used to do. And they will say to their skins, "Why do you testify against us?" They will say: "Allah has caused us to speak, as He causes all things to speak, and He created you the first time, and to Him you are made to return."} [Sūrah Fussilat 41:20-21]

The noble Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azīz Ar-Rājihī, may Allāh preserve him, mentions: "The body parts, such as the ears, the eyes, and the skin will bear witness against the person on the Day of Judgement. It is therefore a must that the individual is very cautious because his body parts are going to be the witnesses."[2]

The noble Shaykh 'Abdurrahmān Ibn Nāsir As-Si'dī, may Allāh have mercy upon him, states in his famous tafsīr: "He (Allāh) has specifically mentioned these three body parts (the ears, the eyes, and the skins) because most of the sins occur either through them or on accord of them."[3]

:يقول الله سبحانه وتعالى في كتابه

يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

(سورة النور)

الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

(سورة يس)

​

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا مَا جَاءُوهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَأَبْصَارُهُمْ وَجُلُودُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ. وَقَالُوا لِجُلُودِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدْتُمْ عَلَيْنَا ۖ قَالُوا أَنْطَقَنَا اللَّهُ الَّذِي أَنْطَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

(سورة فصلت)

"يقول الشيخ عبد العزيز الراجحي حفظه الله في حسابه الرسمي في تويتر: "الإنسان تشهد عليه الجوارح يوم القيامة مثل السمع والبصر والجلد، فينبغي للإنسان أن يحذر، لأن جوارحه هي الشهود

​

Al-Albānī: Does Drawing a Line Through the Neck of a Prohibited Image Make It Permissible?

Shaykh Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī Categorized under: Fatāwá and Rulings, Ḥadīth

Ḥadīth 1921: “The [prohibited] picture is [really] the head, so if the head is cut off, there is no picture.”

[…H]is saying صلى الله عليه وسلم in Abu Hurairah’s ḥadīth, “Jibrīl came to me…” [to the end of] the ḥadīth bears supporting testimony to [the authenticity of ḥadīth 1921]: in it, [Jibrīl said], “So give an order that the head of the figure in the house be cut off so that it comes to take the form of a tree….”

So this is clear regarding the [ruling that] cutting the head of a formed image–a three dimensional figure–makes it like a non-image [in permissibility].

I [Shaikh Al-Albānī] say: And this is regarding the three dimensional figure, as we mentioned; as for images printed on paper or those embroidered on cloth, it is not enough to draw a line on the neck to make it appear as if [the head] has been cut off from the body.

Rather, it is a must that the head be removed, and with that, the distinguishing features of the image are changed, and it becomes, as he صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “like a tree in form.”

So memorize this and do not be deceived by that which has come in some of the books of Islāmic jurisprudence and by those who have taken that as a base [upon which the ruling here is made].

[Article] The ruling concerning testing people in issues of criticism / Shaykh Muhammad 'Ali Ferkous حفظه الله

Fatwa: 692

Category: fatwas about Manhaj (the way)

The question:

What is your opinion about testing people and imposing scholars’ opinions regarding criticizing persons on learners of [religious] knowledge or regarding other controversial issues that caused divergence of opinions between the Sunni scholars?

The answer:

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon whom Allah sent as a mercy to the Worlds, upon his Family, his Companions and his Brothers till the Day of Resurrection.

Know that among the Muslim’s features is the fact of taking interest in noble deeds that concern necessities of his life here below and his safety in the hereafter. The Muslim should be interested in: educating himself, purifying his soul from meanness and vice and getting rid of things that are useless and unnecessary.

Knowledge is, indeed, the way to reach these points; so, the Muslim has to seek it and provide himself with it as much as possible. The Prophet صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم says: “Part of the excellence of a man's Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him.”(1) And among things that does not concern him is: testing people in what is not ordered by Allah عزَّ وجلَّ and His Messenger صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم. Also, forcing them to take positions that are in accordance with his positions by gathering them around one person, sticking fanatically to his opinions and calling to his way; a way on which depends their alliance and disavowal other than the way of the Prophet صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم. Moreover, anyone who takes a position that differs from the position of those who test people will be accused of being compromised and heretic.

In fact, such a behavior will cause roughness, discord and harshness [between Muslims]. It will give rise to attitudes that are forbidden by Sharia as hostility, enmity and hatred between brothers in belief. Therefore, the nation will be divided and disunited and its groups will disband because of the evil effects that result from those attitudes.

Nevertheless, this does not mean that we do not reject heresy and heretics, and warn Muslims against it and those who call towards it, after the heresy is determined and the evidences are established. Certainly, fighting religious heresies is one of the most obvious features of the Salafi Way, because heresy goes against one of the two conditions of worship, which is the fact of following the Prophet صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم. Besides, the issue of warning [against heresy] and abandoning [those who practice it] is included within the creed of Loyalty and Enmity, knowing that abandoning [heretics] must be kept within the religious limits in order to use it in a well-balanced manner avoiding either negligence or exaggeration(2).

The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah عزَّ وجلَّ. Our last prayer is all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon our Prophet, his Family, his Companions and Brothers till the Day of Resurrection.

(1) Reported by At-Tirmidhi, chapter of “Asceticism” (hadith 2487) and by Ibn Mâjah, chapter of “Trials” (hadith 4111) according to Abu Hurayra رضي الله عنه. It is also reported by Mâlik in Al-Muwatta’ (hadith 1638) and by Ahmad (hadith 1758) according to Al-Husayn Ibn `Ali رضي الله عنهما. This hadith is judged Hasan (good) by An-Nawawi in Al-Adhkâr (hadith 509). However, it is judged authentic by Ahmad Shâkir his recension of Musnad Ahmad (3/177) and by Al-Albâni in Sahîh Al-Jâmi` (hadith 5911).
