“And they say: "The Most Gracious has begotten a son. Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins. That they ascribe a son to the Most Gracious. But it is not suitable for the Most Gracious that He should beget a son.”

So mentioning of this lie, by Allah is heavy, very heavy, however we are mentioning it in order to negate it, exalted is Allah from it.

﴿مَا اتَّخَذَ اللهُ مِنْ وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ إِذًا لَذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَهٍ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ﴾ [المؤمنون: ٩١]

"No son did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (deity) along with Him. (If there had been many deities), then each deity would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!"

📩 Question:

Some people negate the attribute of descending and they say: if Allah (عز وجل) descends to the heavens in the last third of the night as you mention, then he is always descended, because the last third of the night differs all over the world?

📝 The answer:

This is a bizarre doubt. We do not say: ‘Allah leaves His throne’ for them to say that He remains in the heavens. Rather we say that the attribute of Highness is established and inseparable from Allah, it does not separate from Allah not even for a blink of an eye. And that the descension does not negate His Highness, and does not negate His Rising above the Throne, for verily it is a descension that we do not know nature off, and it is not like the descension of the creation. The descension of the creation necessitates leaving and unoccupying a place, and occupying another place, and the previous place becomes above him after descending from it, this is all with regards to the creation.

So this speech is uttered by someone who has understood from the attribute as one would understand it with respect to the creation, and this speech is falsehood, and it is not permissible to utter such speech.

So it is obligatory upon us to believe that Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) is risen above His throne, and the attribute of Highness is unseperable from Him, and that His Descension does not negate that, however we do not know its nature.

📩 Question:

What is the answer for the one who says that it is not Allah who descends to the heavens during the last third of the night, rather it is His Mercy or some of the Angels?

📝 The answer:

This is a distortion of the prophetic hadith which has come in the two Saheehs, on the authroty of Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
(يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَدْعُونِي، فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ، مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ)
“Our Rabb who is Blessed and Exalted descends every night to the lowest heaven when two-thirds of the night have passed and says, “Who supplicates me so that I may answer him? Who asks of me so that I may give to him? Who asks my forgiveness so that I may forgive him?”

So His speech:
(مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ)
“Who is there to beg forgiveness from Me so that I forgive him?”
An Angel does not say this. This is the Speech of Allah.

(مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ)
“who is there to supplicate Me so that I answer him? Who is there to beg of Me so that I grant him?”
This speech is not possible to be said by anyone except Allah (جل وعلا).

Also in refutation of them: the Angels descend by the command of Allah at different times, and not specific to the last third of the night.

Also: no one from the Salaf (pious predecessors) said such a thing. They are not able to comeforth with a single text from the Prophet (ﷺ), nor from the companions (رضوان الله عليهم) that they said: an Angel from the Angels descends. Did they not comprehend that which the Salaf comprehended?

The Salaf approached the Ayaat of Allah’s attributes and understood the apparent meanings of it, and they did not distort, nor did they change it. So sufficient for us in underatnading is the understanding of the Salaf. We affirm the attributes as Allah has affirmed them for Himself.

They cannot come with a single text from the Prophet (ﷺ), nor from the companions (رضوان الله عليهم) where they distorted the evidences, and that the intent is the descension of an Angel from the Angels. Rather it is the Descension of our Rabb (جل وعلا) in a manner that befits His Majesty, and we do not know of its nature.

And Mercy and Command do not say:
“من يستغفرني فأغفر له”
“Who is there to beg forgiveness from Me so that I forgive him?”

Also, Command and Mercy descend to the world. Allah’s Command and Allah’s Mercy is not restricted to the heavens only.

Similarly, the Angels descend to the world, and in different times, and Allah’s Command and Allah’s Mercy also descend in different times, so this is a distortion of the evidences.

And if this distortion was good, we would have been preceeded in it by the companions (رضوان الله عليهم) free be they from distortion and changing. However, if the intent was not the apparent meaning, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would have clarified it, and the companions of the Messenger of Allah would have clarified it.

📩Question:

Is 'The Curer' from the beautiful names of Allah, and what is the evidence?

📝 The answer:

It has come in the Musnad of al-Imam Ahmad (رحمه الله) from the hadith of Abu Rimthah (رضي الله عنه) that he said to the Prophet ﷺ:
أرني هذا الذي بظهرك؛ فإني رجل طبيب.
"Show me what is on your back, for verily I am a physician"
He ﷺ said:
(الله الطبيب، بل أنت رجل رقيق، طبيبها الذي خلقها)
"You are only a soother. It's Curer is He who created it"
And it is an authentic hadith according to the criteria of al-Imam Muslim. So it is established in this hadith that The Physician is a name Allah تعالى

And if its used for Allah then it is in a way that befits His Majesty and Perfectness. And if it's used for the creation then it includes his incapability and weakness.

So when it comes to the attributes that the son of Adam is described with, from the attributes of Allah, then it includes the incapability of the son of Adam and his weakness.

And the attributes of Allah befit His Majesty and Perfectness.
{ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصير}
"There is nothing like Him, and He is the All Hearing, All Seeing".

📩 Question:

The questioner says: What does it mean to have iman in qadr (the divine decree)?

📝 The answer:

The root of the word ‘iman’ means: attestation and affirmation. So iman in the divine decree means: to believe with ones heart and to affirm with ones tongue that the divine decree is the truth. And the meaning of ‘the divine decree is the truth’ i.e. that Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows eternally everything that will happen, and He wrote in the prescribed tablet all that which will occur until the day of judgement, and He willed all that which was preordained, and He created it.

Hence, your iman in the divine decree will be complete by having iman that Allah knows all that was preordained, and He knows what will happen eternally, and that He also wrote all of that in the prescribed tablet, then He willed for it and created it.

Nothing from good or evil, worship or sins, deficiencies or calamities takes place except by the will of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Nothing takes place except with His divine decree and His will.
﴿وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللهُ إِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا﴾
“But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.”

📩 Question:

What is the evidence that Allah (جل وعلا) knows that which didn’t happen, and if it were to happen, how it would happen?

📝 The answer:

The evidences are abundant, from them His speech تعالى:
﴿وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذْ وُقِفُوا عَلَى النَّارِ فَقَالُوا يَا لَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلا نُكَذِّبَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ المُؤْمِنِينَ * بَلْ بَدَا لَهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُخْفُونَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ﴾
“If you could but see when they will be held over the (Hell) Fire! They will say: "Would that we were but sent back (to the world)! Then we would not deny the Ayat of our Rabb, and we would be of the believers!
Nay, it has become manifest to them what they had been concealing before. But if they were returned (to the world), they would certainly revert to that which they were forbidden. And indeed they are liars.”

And He تعالى states:
﴿لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَا آلِهَةٌ إِلَّا اللهُ لَفَسَدَتَا فَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ﴾
“Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) alihah (deities) besides Allah, then verily both would have been ruined. Glorified be Allah, the Rabb of the Throne, (High is He) above all that they associate with Him!”

And He تعالى states:
﴿قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ آلِهَةٌ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذًا لابْتَغَوْا إِلَى ذِي الْعَرْشِ سَبِيلًا﴾
“Say: "If there had been other alihah (deities) along with Him as they assert, then they would certainly have sought out a way to the Rabb of the Throne”.

So Allah's knowledge is complete, all encompassing, nothing can escape it. And Allah’s knowledge is not preceded by ignorance, nor is it followed by forgetting. It is complete, all-inclusive knowledge.

📩 Question:

The questioner asks: what is the ruling of following the scholars or the leaders in making halal that which Allah has made haram, or making haram what Allah has made halal?

📝 The answer:

If he follows them in that, whilst believing that which is haram is still haram, however he follows in action and did not change his beliefs with regards to it, and he believes the halal is still halal however he is merely following in action to please the creation, or to attain the worldly life by way of it, or the likes of this, then he is committing a great, major sin, however with the condition that it is in his actions and that he doesn’t verbalise disbelief, and he does not say that this is halal, and verbalise that it is halal, for if he says it is halal with his tongue, e.g. he says: intoxicants are halal, or riba is halal, this becomes apostasy. Rather that which is intended is following in actions only, the following is in action, such a person is committing a major sin.

As for if he becomes a follower of him in permitting and forbidding, and he makes haram that which Allah has made halal, or makes halal what Allah has made haram, so he follows him in this, making halal what Allah made haram, or making haram what Allah made halal, then this is major disbelief.

In regards to this Allah سبحانه states:
﴿اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ﴾
“They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, as Arbaab besides Allah”

So them taking other Arbaab besides Allah, by making halal what Allah made haram, and making haram what Allah made halal, and they followed them in that. And it suffices that he verbalises with his tongue, if he enunciates with his tongue, and says with regards to what Allah has made haram: it is halal, and its imermissibility is from the clear cut well known rulings, and he makes it halal, then this suffices to excommunicate him from the religion. You should not say, what is his aqeedah? Rather the ruling is based on that which he made apparent.

May Allah grant us and you success.

📩 Question:

Are there angels who are responsible for taking the souls of animals and insects?

📝 The answer:

The angel of death is one, appointed to take the soul of all the creation which have souls.
{قُلْ يَتَوَفَّاكُم مَّلَكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱلَّذِى وُكِّلَ بِكُم}
“Say, O Prophet,“Your soul will be taken by the Angel of Death, who is in charge of you.”

We believe in this as Allah (جل وعلا) has informed us. And he (the angel of death) has helpers whom take the soul from him straight away, they help him by the command of Allah.

So His (تعالى) speech:
{حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لا يُفَرِّطُونَ}
“Until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (angel of death and his assistants) take his soul, and they never neglect their duty.”
Is explained by the Hadith of al-Baraa bin ‘Azib which is reported by Ahmad whereby he said:
(يأتي ملك الموت فيقبض الروح)
“The angel of death comes and takes the soul”
So he takes the soul of the disbeliever and the believer.
He said:
(فإذا قبضها لَمْ يَدَعُوهَا فِي يَدِهِ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ حَتَّى يَأْخُذهَا، الملائكة)
“And when he takes it (the soul) he does not leave it in his hand for even a blink of an eye until the angels (the helpers) take it from him”

So there are angels who are appointed with that, they help with taking the soul from the angel of death. So the angel of death is the one who is responsible for taking the soul, even if they are in different countries, even if it be at the same time, Allah has granted him the ability to do so, and Allah is able to do all things, and Allah knows best.

📩 Question:

The questioner says: What is intended by Taghut which has been mentioned in many ayat of the Qur’an?

📝 The answer:

The best definition for Taghut is that which was mentioned by ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله تعالى) in i'lam al-Muwaqi'in (1/40), whereby he said: ‘Taghut: That which is exceeded by the servent beyond its limit, whether it be with respect to worship, obedience or following.

So, Taghut are individuals whom legislation and judgement is refered back to them, and not to Allah and His Messenger, or they are worshipped besides Allah, or they are followed without knowledge from Allah, or they are obeyed in that which is not known to be obedience to Allah. So these are the Taghuts of the world. If you were to ponder over it, and pondered over the situation of the people, then you will come to know that the majority of them have turned away from the worship of Allah towards the worship of Taghut, and from referring judgment to Allah and His Messenger, to referring judgement to Taghut, and from His obedience and following His Messenger to obedience and following of Taghut.’ End of speech.

So the one who is worshiped besides Allah is from the greatest of Taghuts, and the greatest of them is Iblis, the outcasted shaytan, the greatest of Taghuts. So the one who is worshiped besides Allah whilst he is pleased, he is a Taghut.

All deities which are worshiped besides Allah are Taghuts. Except for those whom are from the righteous and the Prophets, those who are not pleased with being worshiped. Or the angels aswell, who are not not pleased with being worshiped, they are allies of Allah, and not Taghuts.

Verily, a Taghut is the one who is worshiped whilst being pleased. So the idols are Taghuts, and the one who is worshiped whilst he is pleased is a Taghut, or he is followed upon other than truth whilst being pleased, he also has traits of Taghut in accordance to the level.

Allah (the Most High) says:
{ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَـٰنَهُمْ أَرْبَابًۭا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ}
“They have taken as Rabbs beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary”

And the majority of the times it is mentioned in the Qur’an, the intent is the one who is worshiped besides Allah. And sometimes it may refer to what we mentioned before with regards to exceeding the boundaries in obedience and following, even if it doesn’t reach the level of Major Kufr, however the speech of the leader was given precedence to over the Qur’an and the Sunnah, so he was turned into a Taghut for his followers.

Allah (the Most High) says:
{أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَحَاكَمُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوٓا۟ أَن
يَكْفُرُوا۟ بِهِ}
“Have you not seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut while they have been ordered to reject them.”

May Allah grant us and you success.

📩 Question:

The questioner says: what is the criteria whereby we can know that certain groups have become partisanship?

📝 The answer:

The criteria for that is that they are fanatics of each other upon that which opposes the Qur’an and Sunnah. So they give allegiance to those who agree with them and they show enmity to those who go against them, and not upon the Qur’an and Sunnah, rather due to affairs which go against the Qur’an and Sunnah. Either due to a party which they have formed regardless if it's political or non-political, or an association, or a sect, or even upon people, rather even upon a scholar.

So they love those that love them, and they hate those who hate them, and they show allegiance based on their speech, and they show enmity based on their speech. This is impermissible. Love is only for the sake of Allah, and hate is only for the sake of Allah.

So be warned from entering fanaticism which has split the Muslims in the midst of Ahlus Sunnah. This one is fanatic to his Shaykh, and this other one is fanatic to another Shaykh, so this one warns against that one, and that one warns from this one.

Whosever is upon the Qur’an and Sunnah, then love him for the sake of Allah, regardless of if he studied under your Shaykh, or under another Shaykh, and regardless if he learnt together with you in the same circle of knowledge, or with another scholar. whosoever is upon the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf, and upon the Manaj of the Salaf, then love him for the sake of Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
(من أحب لله، وأبغض لله، ووالى لله، وعادى لله، فقد استكمل الإيمان)
“If anyone loves for Allah's sake, hates for Allah's sake, shows loyalty for Allah's sake and takes shows emnity for Allah's sake, he will have perfect Imaan”.

And with regards to supporting the Mashayekh and scholars; If a differing arises between one scholar and another, and both of them are upon the ‘Aqeedah of the Salaf and their methodology, and upon the Usool of the Sunnah, and both of them judge by the Qur’an and Sunnah, however differing has arisen due to Shaytaans evil whispers, in this instance it is not permissible for the followers to increase the differing, and to increase the splitting, this one supporting this scholar, and that one supporting that scholar, and the one who doesn’t agree with him is excommunicated from the Sunnah and deemed a partisan, these are ignorant approaches.
{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا لَسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ}
“Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you (O Muhammad (ﷺ)) have no concern in them in the least. Their affair is only with Allah, Who then will tell them what they used to do.”

Upon you is to abide by the Qur’an and Sunnah, and upon you is to love Allah, and upon you also is to not show fanaticism to your Shaykh if he errs. And alongside that, upon you is to hold in high regards the position of the scholar, give the scholar his deserved right without slandering him, as long as he is upon the Qur’an and Sunnah, and is not known to follow desires. This is the way of Ahlus Sunnah with their scholars.

📩 Question:

Is it permissible to describe an illness as being 'filthy'?

📝 The answer:

It is not allowed to curse illnesses as it has been established in Sahih Muslim on the authority of Jabir (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet (ﷺ) heard Umm Saa’ib, and he said to her:
(مَالك تُزَفْزِفِينَ؟)
“What is the matter with you that you are trembling?”
So she replied:
الْحُمَّى لَا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا
“Fever; may Allah not bless it.”
So he said:
(لَا تَسُبِّي الْحُمَّى فَإِنَّهَا تُذْهِبُ خَطَايَا بَنِي آدَمَ كَمَا يُذْهِبُ الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ)
“Do not revile fever, for it removes the sins of the sons of Adam just as the bellows remove the dross of iron.”

So illnesses are not to be cursed and it is not to be said that they are 'filthy', however it can be said 'a dangerous illness', or 'a scary illness', or 'a staunch illness' and the likes of these descriptions that are ok to use as a description. As for 'filthy' and making Du’a against the illness, then this is disliked due to the aforementioned hadith.

Having said that, some people say 'filthy' and they intend 'staunch' or 'dangerous', so for him is what he intended, and upon him is to change the wording, and Allah knows best.

📩 Question:

The questioner says: The woman who passes away and was not married, does she enter Jannah alone or will she get married in Jannah?

📝 The answer:

Muslim reported on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
(مَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَعْزَبُ)
“There would be none unmarried in Jannah.”

So following from this the woman who was not married in this world will be married off to whom Allah (جل وعلا) wills from the people of Jannah from the believers who have entered Jannah.

And there are men who passed away without being married, and also that which is known is that the men of Jannah have many wives from the women of Jannah and from the women of this world.

The hellfire is at the bottom, in the Sijjin (the seventh earth), in the lowest part of the earths as has come in the Hadith of Al-Baraa bin ‘Aazib (رضي الله عنه) in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad and other than it with an authentic chain of transmission that the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the soul of the disbeliever when it is being grasped and so Allah (عز وجل) says:
(اكتبوا كتاب عبدي في سجين في الأرض السفلى)
“Record the book of my servant in Sijjin in the lowest of the earths”

And similarly to Jannah being above the seven heavens, the Prophet (ﷺ) went past it until he reached it. He passed by the seven heavens until he reached Sidratul Muntaha (Lote-Tree).

Allah (تعالى) states:
{عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ}
“Near which is the Garden of Eternal Residence”

So the hellfire is the opposite in the lowest of the low. Allah (تعالى) states:
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍۢ (٤)ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَـٰهُ أَسْفَلَ سَـٰفِلِينَ (٥)إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۢ (٦)

"Indeed, We created humans in the best form (4) But We will reduce them to the lowest of the low in Hell'(5) Except those who believe and do good—they will have a never-ending reward.(6)"

As for the manner of that then Allah knows best, we do not know, so we say that it is in the lowest of the lows, in the seventh earth as has come in the Hadith and we don’t know of its manner.

We ask Allah to grant us and you success.

📩 Question:

The questioner says: What is the paradise that Adam (عليه السلام) lived in? Is it the same paradise that Allah has promised for the righteous or is it another paradise?

📝 The answer:

The view of Ahlus Sunnah Wa Al-Jama’ah is that it is the same paradise. And there is a view of Shaykh al-Islam which he ascribed to the Mu’tazilah that it is another paradise, however in another place in his books he also ascribed it to some of the people of knowledge and he didn’t make it a differing with the Mu’tazilah.

And in summary, and the correct view is that it is the same paradise, and the Hadith of intercession is a proof for this which is in Sahih Muslim on the authority of Hudhayfah and Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنهما) that the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the Hadith and in it is that the people will say:
(يا آدم استفتح لنا الجنة)
“O Adam ask Allah that He may open Jannah for us”
And so he will say:
(وهل أخرجكم من الجنة إلا خطيئة أبيكم)
"There was nothing that put you out of Al-Jannah except your father's sin.”

They mentioned Al-Jannah (paradise) to him and he said: “There was nothing that put you out of Jannah” The ‘Al’ in Al-Jannah is ‘Ahdiyyah (referential – in reference to previous knowledge of the thing) in reference to what was mentioned. There was nothing that put you out of Jannah except your father's sin.”

So that which is correct is that it is the same paradise. And Allah (عز وجل) also described it with attributes which are the attributes of paradise.
{إِنَّ لَكَ أَلا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلا تَعْرَى * وَأَنَّكَ لا تَظْمَأُ فِيهَا وَلا تَضْحَى}
“Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.
And you (will) suffer not from thirst therein nor from the sun’s heat.”

And also it was mentioned that he was made to be descended from it, i.e. that it is in the heavens, and he was made to be descended from it after eating from the tree. And Ibn al-Qayyim has written about this in “Hadi al-Arwah” and he viewed it preponderant that it was another paradise, however he has another view that it is the same paradise, and this seems closer and in line with the evidence. And from his lines of poetry:
-منازلنا الأولى وفيها المخيم-
“Our first home and in it we will be encamped”

📩 Question:

The questioner says: What is the ruling of young children wearing clothing with images of things with souls?

📝 The answer:

If it is not clear, and not distinguishable, then it may fall under the hadith:
(إلا رقما في ثوب)
“except for a figure on a garment.”
Reported by Muslim on the authority of Abu Talha (رضي الله عنه).

As for if it’s a clear image, then it is not permissible and it is from the major sins, as has preceded, so that which is obligatory is to stay far away from it.

📩 Question:

The questioner says: Are the bride dolls sold in the markets, which are made for young girls included in the impermissibility of image making?

📝 The answer:

The closest view, and Allah knows best, is that it is included in the impermissibility because they are clear-cut statues. As for the fact that ‘Ai’shah (رضي الله عنها) as has come in the Saheehayn:
أنها كانت تصنع البنات من العهن
“She used to make dolls from wool”.

Then this is the action of a small child at that time. She was a small girl who would interlock parts of wool, fabric and linen. What could a little girl possibly make? So at that time it was permissible in the legislation.

As for in this manner that is present in the stores and markets, clear-cut statues, then that which is apparent is the prohibition of it, and that it falls under the Hadith:
(أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّذِينَ يُضَاهُونَ بِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ)
“Those who will receive the severest punishment on the day of resurrection will be they who imitate what Allah has created.”
And this is an imitation, so it is obligatory to abandon and distance oneself from it, and it is impermissible to sell it, and Allah knows best.

📩 Question:

The questioner says: Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) says:
{وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ}
“they were plotting and Allah too was plotting; and Allah is the Best of those who plot.” Does this prove that plotting is from the attributes of Allah?

📝 The answer:

Yes, plotting is an attribute from the attributes of Allah (جل وعلا) however upon you is to restrict. So you say that He plots with those who deserve to be plotted against. He plots against the disbelievers, hypocrites and transgressors.

Allah (تعالى) says:
{وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ}
“they were plotting and Allah too was plotting; and Allah is the Best of those who plot.”

You restrict it as it is in the Ayah
{وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ}
"Allah is the Best of those who plot.”
Whereby you say “Allah is attributed with being the best of plotters”. So the plotting of Allah is the best of plotting. If you restrict it as it is in the Ayah then it is good, and there is no need to then add: “against the disbelievers or hypocrites” because He (جل وعلا) plots against those who are deserving to be plotted against. So if you say (the best of plotters) then there is no need to restrict it to being against the disbelievers, hypocrites and transgressors and the likes of this.

📩 Question:

The questioner says: If the image has been made into cushions which are sat on, is it discluded from the impermissibility?

📝 The answer:

Some of the people of knowledge mentioned that if the images are on cushions then it is not included in the impermissibility, and the closer view is that it is (included in the impermissibility), even if it be made into cushions which are used for sitting against.

And the evidence for this is the Hadith of ‘Ai’shah (رضي الله عنها) in the Saheehayn whereby she said that the Prophet ﷺ said to her after she had purchased a cushion with pictures on it:
(مَا بَالُ هَذِهِ النُّمْرُقَةِ)
“What is this cushion?”
She said:
اشتريتها لك تجلس عليها وتتوسدها
“I bought it for you so that you might sit on it and take rest.”
And so the Prophet ﷺ rebuked her and said:
(إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرِ يُعَذَّبُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ)
“The owners of these pictures would be tormented on the day of resurrection.”
And he said:
(أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّذِينَ يُضَاهُونَ بِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ)
“Those who will receive the severest punishment on the day of resurrection will be they who imitate what Allah has created.”

So the Prophet ﷺ ordered her and it was cut it up (the cushion)

She said:
واتخذنا منها وِسَادَتَيْنِ
“and we made two cushions from it”

Which means that the cutting got rid of the images, and so they made two cushions from it.

So the correct view is that even if they are cushions, it is obligatory to remove it.

Being lax with regards to these sins are a cause of the heart to be hardened and a cause for Shayaateen to enter the houses and the exiting of the Angels.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
(لَا تَدْخُلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ، وَلَا صُورَةٌ)
“the angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture or a dog”

Agreed upon on the authority of Abu Talha al-Ansari (رضي الله عنه). And we ask Allah to pardon us.

📩 Question:

The questioner asks: What is the ruling on visiting domes (built on graves) on the fifteenth day of Sha’ban and putting Bakhoor (aromatic woodchips) on it?

📝 The answer:

This action is impermissible, from the newly introduced affairs and heresies and they may fall into Shirk such as seeking help from other than Allah, and diverting worship to other than Him (جل وعلا)

And with regards to putting Bakhoor on it, then if it is done out of gaining nearness by it to the person in the grave, then this is Shirk with Allah (جل وعلا). As for if he is worshipping Allah by venerating the grave by placing Bakhoor on it, then it is from the newly introduced affairs and heresies, and Allah knows best.

📩 Question:

The questioner asks: What is the ruling of the one who says that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not convey everything he was commanded to convey?

📝 The answer:

The person who says this is a disbeliever due to rejecting the evidence in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Allah says regarding the Prophet (ﷺ):
{ٱلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمَ دِينًۭا}
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.”

And in the Saheehayn on the authority of ‘A’ishah (رضي الله عنها) that she said:
من أخبركم أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كتم شيئاً من الوحي فقد أعظم على الله الفرية ولو كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كاتما شيئا لكتم هذه الآية:
Whoever tells you that the Prophet (ﷺ) concealed parts of the revelation, then they have uttered one of the worst lies against Allah. If the Prophet (ﷺ) was to conceal anything which was sent to him, then he would have concealed:
{وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَاهُ}
“And (remember) when you said to him (Zaid bin Harithah رضي الله عنه) on whom Allah has bestowed Grace and you have done favour "Keep your wife to yourself, and fear Allah." But you did hide in yourself that which Allah will make manifest, you did fear the people whereas Allah had a better right that you should fear Him.”
