The Noble Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadi al-Madkhali (may Allah preserve him) stated:
Indeed the people of innovation today are many and they fill the earth. The refuge is sought with Allah. We do not boycott them all. Indeed they are the focal point of our call. We call them to Allah with wisdom and beautiful preaching.
The Noble Shaykh (and) al-Allaamah Rabee’ Ibn Haadi al-Madkhali (may Allah preserve him) was asked:
Our noble Shaykh, what do you advise the beginner seeker of knowledge with when he is faced with differences of opinion between the Mashaayikh? Continue reading
The ‘Allaamah Shaykh Rabee’ (may Allah preserve him) stated:
By Allah there’s no value for Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) or other than that it if we were to waste the ‘Aqeedah (Islamic Creed), the Tawheed and (then) fall into Shirk (association of partners) with Allah. There’s no benefit in any science at all! Even if we were to memorize the Qur’aan, the Hadeeth, the books of Fiqh, and yet at the same time we (fall) into the darkness of Shirk, (then) there’s no value for us; we will never (have derived) benefit from this knowledge (we acquired)!!!

Al-Imaam al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:
That which I worship Allah with and call the people to is that the weak hadeeth is not to be used at all. It is not to be used in (justifying) the virtues (of actions), recommended acts, or other than that. Continue reading
Some Positions of Jurisprudence of The Eminent Shaykh ‘Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him):
The touching of the woman does not nullify the Wudoo. This is whether the touching took place based upon desired or other than desires.
The statement of Allah:
أَوْ لامَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ
“Or you have touched them.” (Soorah an-Nisaa: 43)
The intended (meaning) is the sexual relations just as Ibn Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) and a group from the people of knowledge have stated. The intent is not touching (the woman) with the hand.
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allaah have mercy upon him) stated:
Whoever sought du’aa or praise from the poor people (after giving them Sadaqah) has gone outside (the interpreted meaning of) this verse:
إنما نطعمكم لوجه الله لا نريد منكم جزاءً ولا شكوراً
“(Saying): ‘We feed you seeking Allaah’s Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.” (al-Insaan: 9) Continue reading
The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) stated:
It’s not allowed for the woman to spend anything from her wealth except with the permission of her husband.
Shaykh Al-Albaanee (may Allaah have mercy upon him) stated:
This Hadeeth indicates that it is not permissible for the woman to spend from her wealth except with the permission of her husband. That’s from the complete authority/responsibility that our Lord, The Blessed and Most High, has given to him (the husband) over her (the wife). However it is not befitting for the husband, if he’s a (truly pious) Muslim, to take advantage of this ruling, thereby oppressing his wife and preventing her from spending her wealth in a manner that doesn’t harm the both of them. And how much does this right resemble the right of the guardian of the girl who cannot marry herself off without her guardian’s permission! If he (the guardian) leaves her to remain single (without right; not marrying her off), she may raise the affair to the Islamic legislative judge in order for him (the judge) to grant her justice. Likewise is the case regarding the ruling of the wealth of the woman. If the husband transgresses against her and prevents her from spending her wealth in the manner that’s legislated, the judge can also grant her justice (in this case). Therefore, there’s no problem with the ruling itself. Rather the problem is only in the (husband’s) evil implementation of it. So take note (of that). Continue reading
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:
The intention (in relation to making Wudoo’) is of four states:
1. The person carries with him the intention by remembering it from the beginning of the Wudoo’ to the end of it. This is the most complete of the (four) states.
2. The intention leaves his mind. However, he doesn’t intend to cut off the intention of making Wudoo’. This is called “having the ruling of the intention being present (while doing the act).” Meaning that he built upon the first ruling and remained upon it. Continue reading
Shaykh Sulaymaan ar-Ruhaylee (may Allah preserve him) stated:
I truly say that every (Imaam) from our Imaams, whether from our Imaams of the past or our Imaams of the latter times, (then not one of them) restricted the truth to his statement(s). Likewise, I don’t know of an Imaam from the Imaams of the Muslims whose statement(s) are void of the truth (in totality). This is the just (stance regarding this matter). Continue reading
Shaykh Usaamah al-‘Amri (may Allaah preserve him) mentioned that the scholars are in agreement that the one who leaves off the obligatory fast of Ramadhaan, denying the obligation of it, is a Kaafir. As for the one who leaves it off out of laziness, there are two statements. The first is that he’s a Kaafir. The second, which is the correct position, he’s not a Kaafir but a Faasiq. However Imaam adh-Dhahabi mentioned: The one who leaves off fasting is worst than the one who commits Zinaa and drinks Khamr”.
