Among the Malikis, however, there is a opinion attributed to:

Mutarrif ibn Abd Allah, Ibn al Majishun both known as al-Akhawayn (الأخوين) in Maliki terminology and Ibn Wahb.

They held that the Friday prayer is waived for one who attended the Eid if he resides outside the town such as people of rural or desert areas as long as the imam grants permission.

Special thanks to Shaykh Ahmad al-Shanqiti for the explanation.

Who needs rap battles when you have poetry battles?

A group of students from Mauritania have a poem battle on a train.

Astronomy Class 3

Alhamduillah I translated a new video on astronomy by our shaykh Abdullah al-Houzoui al-Sousi.

In this video the shaykh talks about about how the Moon orbits the Earth, the Earth orbits the Sun, and our solar system journeys around the galaxy’s center.

Some of the works of our shaykh.

Includes his own work on astronomy, poems of Arabic riddles, etc.

Khadija bint al-ʿAqil al-Dimaniya al-Shinqitiya

She was a scholar from Shanqit, modern day Mauritania who lived in the twelfth century AH. She attained an advanced rank in rational sciences, such as theology and logic.

She directed one of the major mahadir (traditional desert schools), which emerged leading scholars. Among them her brother, the eminent scholar Ahmad ibn al-ʿAqil (d. 1244 AH), the renowned grammarian often called “the Sibawayh of Shinqit” al-Mukhtar ibn Buna (d. 1220 AH), the scholar Hurma ibn ʿAbd al-Jalil, and the sultan of the Imamate of Futa Toro, Imam ʿAbd al-Qadir.

She was the leading figure of a distinct school of logic, whose methodological approach was followed by a number of later scholars in Mauritania.

She was widely known for both authorship and teaching. Among her most important work is a commentary of al-Sullam al-Munawraq that is currently published.

Poem on Sadl in Prayer

I put together this poem by Shaykh Kurray ibn Ahmed Yurah al-Shanqiti who addresses the long-discussed issue of folding the hands (qabd) and leaving them at the sides (sadl) in prayer.

Shaykh Kurray mentioned early scholars of the Salaf such as Ata ibn Abi Rabah, Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, and Hasan al-Basri who practiced sadl and mentions the discussion around Imam Malik , who narrated hadiths on qabd yet considered it disliked in obligatory prayer.

The poem also mentions some Maliki Imams who prefered Qabd.

Citations bring barakah

Imam Al-Nawawi said:

"Religion is nasihah: and part of that advice is to attribute a unique point to the one who first said it. Whoever does so will find blessing in their knowledge and their state. But whoever creates the false impression by taking the words of others, that those words are their own, is worthy of not benefiting from their knowledge and having no blessing in their state. People of knowledge and virtue have never ceased attributing benefits to those who uttered them. We ask Allah the Almighty for the constant success to do the same."

Shaykh Sariri reached 1000 classes in his explanation of Mukhtasar Khalil!

Amin Abdullah.

He stood his ground so others could make it home safely.

When gunmen opened fire outside the Islamic Center of San Diego, Amin protected the community until his final moments. Police say his actions prevented the attack from becoming far worse.

Support Amin’s family with funeral costs, immediate household needs, education for his children, and long term financial stability.

May Allah accept him amongst the martyrs and grant patience to his loved ones. 🤲

May have mercy on brother Amin and the Muslims killed in the mosque of San Diego.

Brother Amin was a real hero. He became a Muslim, lived his life to protect Muslims, and stopped the shooters of the mosque before they could do more damage. Just as Ustad Moustafa Elqabbany said it is something you read from the lives of the sahaba but happened in out in USA.

Very intresting feedback from Google AI when I asked of the influence of the Maliki madhab on Napoleon

Imam Khalil, author of the famous Mukhtasar Khalil in Maliki fiqh said in al-Jami.

“Do not joke with one beneath you, before he loses respect for you;

nor with one equal to you, before he grows resentful toward you;

and not with one higher status than you, before he becomes annoyed with you."
