❝ Regarding the Prophet ﷺ, it is not established that he fasted the ten days ever (qaṭṭ); this is narrated in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim only, from the Ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah. Fasting in the ten days is of two types:
(i) Fasting them considering it a specific Sunnah for the ten days—meaning that fasting is prescribed for the sake of the ten days themselves—this view is subject to scholarly critique (fīhi naẓar), because if fasting were prescribed for the essence of the ten days, the Prophet ﷺ would have done it, and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would have hastened to do so.
However in this regard, there is the Ḥadīth of Hunaydah [bint Khālid] stating that the Prophet ﷺ used to fast the nine days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah, and there is inconsistency (iḍṭirāb) in it. ((TN: The narration of Hunaydah suffered from iḍṭirāb in its chains and is very weak)). Some scholars have even narrated a consensus (ittifāq) on the virtue of fasting during these ten days.
(ii) If one fasts the ten days considering that fasting is a righteous deed like all other deeds, then there is no harm in that. There is no harm in a person fasting the ten days considering fasting a righteous deed like tasbīḥ, takbīr, increasing in extra prayers, charity, and the like. This is understood from the generality of the Ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās in al-Bukhārī, where the Prophet ﷺ said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah the Almighty than the deeds in these ten days." They (the companions) asked: "O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihād in the cause of Allah?" He replied: "Not even Jihād in the cause of Allah, except for a man who went out risking his life and wealth and returned with nothing."
The Companions understood the generality [of the term 'righteous deeds'] and asked, "Not even Jihād?" If the Prophet's ﷺ intention had been to specify tasbīḥ, takbīr, and tahlīl (Saying Lā ilāha illā Allāh)—as mentioned in another, weak Ḥadīth—he would have said: "I only mean these specific acts of tasbīḥ, takbīr, and tahlīl." But the Companions understood the generality, and the Prophet ﷺ affirmed their understanding. Thus, it is known that every righteous deed—fasting, charity, prayer, tasbīḥ, takbīr, etc.—is included.
[Student interrupts and asks the Shaykh what are the righteous deeds one can do if he is a pilgrim (in Ḥajj)]
Every person acts according to their situation; if one is a pilgrim in a state of Ihrām, it is better for them to increase in Talbiyah. If they are unable to do that, they should move to reciting the Qurʾān, tasbīḥ, tahlīl, or studying knowledge—such as reading books of Tafsīr and the like—or to benefit people (with good deeds), and inviting them (to Islam) (daʿwah), and guiding them.
During Ḥajj, there is an opportunity that may not be repeated in a lifetime. Even if you were eager to gather people, you would not be able to regardless of your status in society; yet millions of people gather in this place. Therefore, a student of knowledge should seize this opportunity to preach to people, guide them, alert them, and ground them in matters of Tawḥīd (Monotheism), creed, and (matters related to) the rulings (aḥkām) of their Ḥajj, because ignorance in these matters is widespread. ❞

Mainstream media is not broken; it is functioning exactly as its elite sponsors intend. As Malcolm X warned: "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the oppressed, and loving the oppressors."
Different victims. Different labels. Same deadly bias.

I often find myself remembering the special Shuyūkh whom I loved for the sake of Allah, never letting a single day pass without making duʿāʾ for them repeatedly throughout the day. Foremost among those I mention after my parents is ḥabīb al-qalb, al-Shaykh al-Imām Nāṣir al-Fahd — فكَّ اللهُ بالعزِّ أسره.
I reminisce about the days of daʿwah we spent together, recalling the statement of Imām Aḥmad — may Allah have mercy on him — “إذا مات أصدقاء الرجل ذلّ” — “When a man’s friends die, he becomes humbled.” At times, I find myself extending its meaning in my heart: when a man’s friends die or are imprisoned, he becomes humbled.
Over the years, I often longed to read those letters again, though I had assumed they had all been confiscated during repeated raids in which digital devices, papers, and entire collections of belongings were seized. In many of those raids, they would even leaf through every book in my library, leaving the shelves emptied and the volumes scattered across the floor.
Weeks ago, however, I was overwhelmed with joy to discover that I had once printed one of his letters and used it as a bookmark in a notebook.
The Shaykh — فكَّ اللهُ بالعزِّ أسره — went out of his way to send me several letters from prison, written with ink made from a mixture of coffee and water, and a straw used as a pen. The first of those letters was the one attached here, sent after he learned of my release from prison. It contained words of encouragement and support the like of which, at that time, I had heard from no one outside my own family. For that alone, apart from his many other favors, I don't believe I could ever make enough duʿāʾ for him.
Having no close companion besides my father — may Allah grant him a long life filled with righteous deeds — I often find comfort in the companionship of Shaykh Nāṣir — فكَّ اللهُ بالعزِّ أسره — by returning to his books during quiet moments. I keep them within arm’s reach wherever I sit; they bring solace to my heart, and I never tire of reading them.
Rediscovering this letter brought even greater comfort, especially at a time like this.
May Allah keep him and his brothers steadfast upon the ḥaqq, hasten their release with honour, and grant us the joy of seeing them as imams leading this ummah sooner rather than later.
May Allah humiliate those who imprisoned them and those who rejoice in their imprisonment and oppression, and reunite us with them in al-Firdaws.

✍️**A Letter from Shaykh Nāṣir — فكَّ اللهُ بالعزِّ أسره —**
From Nasser bin Hamad Al-Fahd to the two noble brothers and virtuous Shaykhs, Musa bin Jibril and his son Ahmad, may Allah protect them from every evil and grant them success in every good. Amin.
Salāmun ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh. To proceed:
Indeed, I praise Allah to you, the One besides whom there is no deity, and I ask Him, Glorified be He, that this letter reaches you while you are in goodness and well-being. News of you reached me through (******) — may Allah grant him success — and I was pleased with the state you are now upon [i.e., the da‘wah you are engaged in], and praise belongs to Allah.
Whatever has befallen you of trials is the path of the prophets and the righteous reformers.
I ask Allah, Glorified be He, to make what has afflicted you an elevation in your ranks and an expiation for your sins, and to make us and you steadfast upon the firm word in this worldly life and the Hereafter.
And I give you glad tidings that we, along with all the brothers in the prisons, are in a tremendous blessing that reminds us of the statement of Shaykh al-Islam — may Allah have mercy on him — during his final imprisonment in the Citadel: “If I were given the equivalent of this Citadel filled with gold, it would not equal for me the gratitude I owe for this blessing.”
Convey my greetings to all the brothers with you, and may Allah preserve you.
Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah.

Ask for the impossible this Arafah. Ask for miracles. Ask with a heart full of certainty. Don’t hold back your tears, your hopes, or your deepest desires. Pour it all out before Allah.
Ask. Ask. Ask.
For He is Al-Qadeer. He is Kun Fayakun. When He wills a thing, He only says “Be,” and it is.
So stand on Arafah with complete trust that no dua is too big for your Lord!

Abu Qatadah Al-Ansari (RAA) narrated, ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about fasting on the day of Arafah (the 9th of the month of Dhul Hijjah). He replied, "Fasting on the day of Arafah is an expiation for the preceding year and the following year.” He was also asked about fasting on the day of Ashura (the 10th of the month of Muharram). He replied, “Fasting on the day of Ashura is an expiation for the preceding year.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was also asked about fasting on Monday, and he replied, "This is the day on which I was born and the day on which I was sent (with the Message of Islam) and the day on which I received revelation."

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best supplication is that which is made on the day of Arafat. The best of it is what was said by myself and the Prophets before me, ‘There is no God but Allah alone, without any partners, unto Him belongs the dominion and all praise, and He has power over all things.’”
