Does a "crew cut" haircut like this count as Qaza?
Anyone got any more legitimate donation links for Gaza/Palestine?
Does anyone know if MySalafiSpouse is full of Madkhalis? It's UK-based and has "Salafi" in the name so I'm guessing probably yes?
If you found a good sister in another country but logistical obstacles were were preventing you from actually living together any time soon, would you do the long distance thing with the hopes that Allah will provide a way eventually?

The Allāmah, the one who acts upon what he preaches — our beloved Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى). A man we’ve seen endure mountainous tests as a result of his unwavering Da’wah to Tawheed, with his trials only increasing him in resolve and steadfastness نحسبه كذالك والله حسيبه. Even during the peak of his tests, you’ll never hear him say anything regarding them except, “Alhamdulillah.”

‎Through out the years, there have been coordinated attacks between the disbelievers and Munāfiqeen alike, which has yielded no progress in extinguishing the Da’wah of the Shaykh. To the contrary and likewise their dismay, the love, respect, and exposure of the Shaykh’s Da’wah has only expanded further and further, spanning now from the east to the west.

‎To put it in perspective, the same hypocrites who unleash their tongues in slander, are the ones given visas to travel all across the world, are allowed to open up Masājid in lands where governments are open enemies of Islam, attend and speak at international conferences, spread their Da’wah whilst receiving “counter-terrorism” funds and grants, and much more. These same people want you to believe they’re upon the “Methodology of the Salaf,” and the one who has unheard of restrictions placed upon him due to his Deen, has been targeted, lied against, and prevented from traveling freely — all because his Da’wah, is somehow upon the “Manhaj of the Khawarij.”

‎Think to yourself, which condition is more like the Prophet and His Sahābah during the early years of The Da’wah. These slanderous Munāfiqeen, or the Shaykh حفظه الله تعالى.

‎The masses have realized that the persistent and baseless name-calling and slander by those whose Manhaj is synonymous with Nifāq — holds no weight, especially when for over 30+ years, they’ve yet to produce a single evidence based academic refutation. Rather, the culmination of decades of their “refutations,” comes up to be nothing more than grade school name-calling, baseless lies, and fairytale accusations, and the occasional red-paint-through-the-eyes picture — which in and of itself, should tell you all you need to know about the Manhaj and Aqeedah of the Shaykh. They don’t dare go on record quoting the Shaykh verbatim and within context, and then prove by citing the Salaf (or even the classical scholars), just how the Shaykh contradicts the Aqeedah of Ahlul Sunnah. This is an open challenge, but I won’t hold my breath.

‎We ask Allah to guide those whom are sincere amongst their misguided, and show us a day in which the arrogant amongst them are made examples of, in a way that brings a coolness and ease to the hearts of the Believers.
Now that's a good shirt. If you know you know 😆
Does anyone know if Sh. AMJ has addressed the issue of Local vs Global moon sighting? I'm sure it's probably in one of his Ramadan videos but if anyone has timestamps it would save me a bunch of time looking for it.

I've gone back and forth and eventually settled on Local sighting, plus that's what my local masjid does, but it just feels weird to not be fasting when most of the rest of the world is.
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

"It is not fitting that the slave should let his tawakkul (reliance on Allāh) be in the form of helplessness, nor that he should claim that his helplessness was in fact tawakkul; instead he should make his tawakkul one of the necessary measures, without which one's aim will not be achieved."

Just discovered "Mahr Fatimi" on my local masjid's website. Is that legit or is that a bid'ah? Islamqa.org mentions it but islamqa.info does not
I don't understand this logic:

* "The khutbah must be in Arabic"
* Change the entire structure of Jumuah by adding an additional talk and having two Adhans
* Speed through the Arabic khutbah as fast as possible so that no one can understand it anyway

If you follow the opinion that the khutbah must be in Arabic, then do that, why are you changing the structure of Jumuah?

And if you're changing the structure of jumuah to add English talks in the beginning, then why not just adopt the opinion that the khutbah can be in English?

Also is there not a standard khutbah al-hajjah? When I was in Texas the khutbah al-hajjah was always exactly the same at every masjid, but now in Illinois it seems like every khateeb has his own variation.

Also is it correct to always make du'a for the 4 Khulafah and specific Sahabah at the end of the 2nd khutbah? That's also something I never heard in Texas.
