  • Imaam Abu Haneefah believed that the Quran is not created

    Assalaamu alaykum. I know that stating that the Qur'an is created is kufr (disbelief). But what is the ruling on saying that one does not know whether it is created or not and declining to investigate or make a decision on the matter?

  • The ruling on saying that not every non-Muslim is a kaafir

    Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh, and may Allaah be merciful to you. I have a question about kufr (disbelief). An imam who lives in Germany said that every kaafir (disbeliever) is a non-Muslim but not every non-Muslim is a kaafir. He said that a kaafir is someone who has heard about Islam WITH its evidences , REALISED the truth, and THEN rejected it. Furthermore,.. More

  • Seeking blessings with the relics of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam

    Asalaamu alaykum, dear shaykh and brother in Islam.

  • Refuting the malicious allegation that Allaah 'deceives' people

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question that is seriously bothering me. Some Islam-hating Christians quote some verses from the Holy Qur'an and say that these verses say that Allaah deceives people (Allaah forbid). I know that their argument is extremely weak. The verses that they quote are these: "And the unbelievers schemed [against Jesus]; but God brought.. More

  • He has whispers about accusing a fellow Muslim of disbelief

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have seen your links, but my question remains: if you consider somebody who ascribes himself to Islam as a disbeliever but you do not show it outwardly for any reason (for example: shyness, amicable atmosphere at that moment, you like that person, you want him to be pleased with you, and so on). What is the ruling thereof? Is that.. More

  • We can neither confirm nor deny that Allaah 'walks' or 'runs'

    Assalaamu alaykum. Some Salafi student of knowledge said that you cannot affirm or deny anything about Allaah that He or the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,have not affirmed or denied. So he said that you cannot say that Allaah does not walk around, he then said that he is not saying this, but as Allaah has not said it himself, we have to just.. More

    Dear Shaikh, assalamu Alaykum. What is the sharia ruling on a person who says that the story of Prophet Ibrahim, alayhi as-salam, that fire did not burn him is an imaginary story and not a real story because Allah has created fire with the ability to burn things so how could Prophet Ibrahim not burn in it? Could you please let me know whether the person.. More

Is there any 'istawa' without sitting? .. More

  • Asking the dead to intercede with Allaah for the living is impermissible

    I believe that going to the Prophet's grave or the grave of a righteous man and asking them to make dua to Allah for you is in innovation in the religion, However, on a forum I frequent, one person claimed that it is mentioned in Fath Al-Barithat the majority of the scholars say that the dead can hear the living, and that person also claims that the..
