Cursing the One who has Cursed the People of Knowledge

Question posed to the Noble Shaykh Rabee’ al-Madkhalee (may Allah preserve him):

Q. Is it permissible for us to curse the one who the people of knowledge have cursed?

You say about him: “So and so is an innovator. So and so has this affair with him.” As for cursing, then no, there’s to be no cursing. Don’t curse him.

As for cursing him, then no, and (know that) it doesn’t benefit. Continue reading →

Balance in Worship and Worldly Life

The Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

The completeness of one being religious is not by way of tiring oneself out in the performance of the acts of worship and keeping away from the lawful pleasures of the worldly life.
