Question Posed To Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree (may Allaah preserve him):
Some of the youth say, “Get to know the Mashaayikh so that they can know you by name, so that when you return to your land they (the Mashaayikh) can praise you”. What is your advice (regarding this)? May Allaah bless you. 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
Al-‘Allaamah, al-Imaam, Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:
Indeed, the matter of having an abundance of followers or a small amount is not the measuring tool to know if the caller is upon truth or falsehood. The Prophets (‘alayhim as-salaatu was salaam), despite their call being the same and their religion being the same, differed in relation to the number of followers they had, some having many and others having few. There was even amongst them a prophet who only one man believed in. Rather, there was amongst them (a prophet) who didn’t have anyone with him. In that, there is a serious lesson for the caller and those who are being called in this (day and) time. It is upon the caller to remember this reality and put a foot forward for the sake of calling to Allah. He should not care about the amount of those who follow him being small. This is because nothing is upon him except clear conveyance (of the message). He has a beautiful example for himself in the Prophets of the past, those who didn’t have anyone except a man or two with them.
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 Abdur Razzaaq al-Badr (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
Most people have been busied with that which is created for them rather than that for which they were created.

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:
It is not for anyone to take a covenant from someone that he agrees to everything that he (the one taking the covenant) wants, have an alliance with those who are in alliance with him and enmity to those who show enmity towards him.
Al-‘Allaamah ash-Shaykh Rabee’ (may Allah preserve him) commented:
It’s possible that the taking of a covenant from a person is not by (actual) speech. How it takes place, is when it is as if the person (taking the covenant) by way of his state (of behavior and stance) says with his tongue, ‘It’s a must that you take my view.’ We free ourselves to Allah every time the person takes our statement with his desires. This is something that Allah is not pleased with. If two people fall into dispute and you aid the one who you see to be upon the truth, even if the truth is with him but you aid him based upon your desires, you’re sinful. That’s because it is obligatory that you do things for the sake of Allah. You do not want anything except for the truth. And you do not support anything except for the truth. Allah states:
