Western Izlam and Moderate Mozlems:

I believe the Sharʿī ḥukm on women using the internet should be similar to that of traveling or leaving the house:

She must be under the constant supervision of her walī, and that walī must fulfill certain conditions for him to be qualified.

No competent walī = No Internet.

I have no words.

The problem with many emotional reactionaries here is that they throw tantrums over symptoms but never think to cure the disease.

Here’s a tip:

With all the filthy ideologies out there today, don’t take your knowledge of the Dīn from people who have apostatized in the past because they got shubuhāt about the rulings of the Dīn that contradict modernist sensibilities.

They likely came back to the Dīn through apologetics and the watering down of “controversial” rulings. These guys, in reality, have a deep-rooted issue with Islām, which they try to suppress.

They will cherrypick quotes and do all sorts of mental gymnastics to appease certain subgroups of people who claim Islām, themselves included.

I find it so amusing how just knowing one or two views of an individual on specific topics can immediately help you map out where along the spectrum of modernism they fall.

Human psychology (the actual science, not the modern leftist institution) is very useful.

Hamza Yusuf is part of the World Economic Forum.

Hamza Yusuf saying that there is space for the J€ws to build their “third temple” on the Aqsa temple mount.

Hamza Yusuf being manipulative with his words and selectively quoting to imply that there is salvation for the Yahūd and the Naṣārah.

The “extremist” label is quite stupid given that “extremism” is relative.

A traditionalist is “extreme” in the eyes of the reformist, and the reformist is still “extreme” in the eyes of the radical secularist.

What modern Muslims don’t realize is that the more you compromise on principles and rulings, the more you leave actual practicing Muslims vulnerable to being labelled as “extremists” and to all the consequences that come with that.

To anyone who still defends this individual after seeing these clips and knowing his reality:

May Allāh raise you with him!

“My teacher taught me XYZ is permitted”.
“Shaykh X said Y and Z is not an issue”.
“But Shaykh X did Y before so Z isn’t ḥarām”.

Fiqh isn’t a free for all. There are authorities in the Dīn that we refer back to.

And when a scholar has a track record for coming up with strange and anomalous views that go against ijmāʿa, common sense would tell you that such a person is not reliable in fiqh.

Not everything is “open to ijtihād”.

POV: You locked in.

I think that’s enough internet for this week.
