A Layman Is Not Sinful in Imitating the Scholars Whom He Trusts
Assalamualikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu respected Scholars. In fatwa no. 264595 you have said that Tawassul is a matter of Ijtihaad (personal reasoning) in which the difference of opinion is acceptable. Now those laymen Muslims following a madhab in which Tawassul is practiced, do we have to warn them of Tawassul? Do we say to them what you are doing.. More

Tawassul by Virtue of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
Assalaamualaykum
Dear scholar,
In the Hadeeth of Uthman bin Hunaif, when the blind man said "O Muhammad, I turn by virtue of you to my Lord concerning this need of mine, that it might be met for me". Was the blind man in the presence of the prophet addressing him directly or was he away after he went to do wudu and pray two rakat making supplication.. More

'You' in ‘there is no deity except You’ Refers to Allah
If i want to say the du’aa' of Yoonus, peace be upon him (la ilaaha illa anta subhaanaka inni kuntu minaththaalimeen), must I first mention the name of Allaah? Because if i don’t, then it sounds like it doesn’t make sense if i only say “there is no deity except You” because who is you? I didn’t clarify beforehand

Fatwa section not concerned with refuting books
I wanted to ask about the following two scholars:
1) Abi Abdillah Muhammad bin Musa bin An-Nu‘man At-Timasani (d. 683H).
2.) Badr Ad-Deen Az-Zarkashi Ash-Shaafi‘i.
Both of them supported Istigaathah (seeking help) through the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,after his death, as is evident from the book Al-Mustagheetheeen bi khayr.. More

Believing in oneness of Allaah without embracing Islam
Please do not refer me to other fatwas. What is the ruling of Islam on the following situation? If a man believe in the oneness of Allaah and believes that there is one God but could not adopt Islam as his religion until he dies, then where will he go?

Asking Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, to ask Allaah on one's behalf
Assalaamu alaykum. Fatwa 91189 mentioned that asking the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam,to ask Allaah is not kufr (disbelief) but that it is not allowed. However, I read in the fatwa of Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah that this is a type of shirk (polytheism), the fatwa states, “It is from Allaah's mercy that these types of du'as (supplications).. More

The tawassul poem by 'Aamir ibn Al-Akwa’
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Shaykh, I would like to know whether this hadith is authentic.

The Islamic creed and values are known to be authentic with absolute certainty
Assalaamu alaykum. My question relates to having absolutely certainty about the core values/beliefs of Islam, like believing that Allaah is one, that He does not have a son, and so on. My friend says that very few things are absolutely certain in life, including most hadiths and the core values/beliefs of our creed. He said that we are obligated to.. More

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah! Respected scholars, I want to know two things: -1 I have two e-mail addresses, sometimes I send you my questions from both the addresses while your terms and conditions say that one can send only a question per day; am I cheating by doing this because the addresses are two but the sender is same? I just do so because.. More

This Hadeeth does not prove permissibility of Tawassul with the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
Assalamualaikum warahmatulahi wabarkatahu sheikh doesn't this hadeeth prove tawassul through prophet saws (asking help from prophet in his absence. One night, the Prophet of Allah - may Allah bless him and grant him peace - was in his house and was heard to proclaim 'I am here!' (labayk!) three times and 'You have been granted help' also three times.. More

Disbelievers are 'slaves' of Allaah in the general sense
Salaam Alaikum. I have another question about Islam. Who are the servants of God? Is every human being God's servant, or only those who follow God? Can polytheists be servants of God?

Please provide me with Quran and hadith quotes that states what the true.. More

Refuting the allegation of (why did Allaah create us?)
My question is somewhat strange, but it has confused me greatly. I would like to ask the scholars about it. The question simply is: why did Allaah create us? The answer is mentioned in the verse: {And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me}. However, Allaah always does whatever He Wills; when He wants a thing to happen, He only says..
