Imām Adh-Dhahabī said in his biography of Al-Ḥāfidh Abū Al-Faḍl As-Sulāmī, the shaykh of Ibn Al-Jawzī:
«ومن جرّح وعدّل لم يسمَّ في عرف أهل الحديث أنه يتكلم في أعراض الناس، بل قال ما يجب عليه»
“One who engages in Jarh wa Ta'deel is not, according to the custom of the scholars of ḥadīth, considered to be speaking ill of people’s honour; rather, he has spoken only what is incumbent upon him.”

BENEFIT 517: Is One Who Dies as a Disbeliever Judged to be in Hell?
Questioner: Is a person who dies as a disbeliever to be judged as destined for the Fire in a specific and definite sense?
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori ḥafidhahullāh:
Whoever dies while disbelieving in Allāh, having departed from the fold of Islam, is judged to be destined for the Fire, just as Allāh and His Messenger have ruled concerning him. This was the path followed by the early generations, may Allāh be pleased…
Question: Is it allowed for someone to blow themselves up, claiming it is to be a form of jihad? They use as evidence the saying of Allāh: "Indeed, Allāh has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties in exchange for Paradise..." (9:111). They also use the story of the boy and the king and the story of a Companion of the Prophet (whom the questioner cannot recall). They also ask: Is it permissible…
Sheikh Ibn ʿUthaymeen, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
“Not every suspicion (dhann) is sinful. Suspicion based on strong indications, approaching certainty, is permissible. However, suspicion that arises merely from imagination or conjecture is not allowed.
For example, if a man sees another man with a woman, and the man is known for his integrity and justice, it is not permissible for him to accuse that man of…
BENEFIT 514: Does Anal sex remove one from the fold of Islam?
Sheikh Fawzān was asked: What type of disbelief is meant in the Prophet’s ﷺ statement: “Whoever has intercourse with a woman in her anus has committed disbelief”?
He replied: This is minor disbelief (kufr aṣghar), which does not expel one from the fold of Islam—similar to how insulting a Muslim is considered sinful (fisq) and fighting a Muslim is considered kufr; it is a “disbelief without full disbelief.” Engaging…
BENEFIT 513: Can We Say Al-Madinah "Al-Munawwarah"?
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori ḥafidhahullāh states:
"When the Prophet ﷺ entered Madinah, Anas (may Allāh be pleased with him) said:
“Everything in it became illuminated, and when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed away, everything in it became darkened.” Because of this, some people came to refer to the city as “Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah,” meaning that everything was illuminated by the arrival of the Prophet ﷺ.

Shaykh Sālih ar-Radā'î حفظه الله
Scholars are of 3 types:
1. 'Ālim millah (religion)
He speaks that which is in Book of Allāh or the Sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ, regardless of whether it is in his favour or against him.
أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا
{Follow the religion of Ibrâhîm Hanif (Islâmic Monotheism - to worship none but Allâh)...}
اتَّبِعُوا مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ
{Follow what…
Another exception found in the evidences, which the Shaykh may have forgotten to mention, is what Al-Bukhārī narrated in his Ṣaḥīḥ from the hadith of Abū Ṭalḥah, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “T
Busr said: Then Zayd fell ill, and we visited him. At the door of his house there was a curtain containing an image. I said to ʿUbaydullāh, the stepson of Maymūnah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: “Did Zayd not inform us about images the other day?”
ʿUbaydullāh replied: “Did you not hear him when he said:
((إلا رقما في ثوب))
‘except for a pattern on a garment’?”

All praise is due to Allāh, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allāh, and upon his family and his Companions. To proceed:
In accordance with the saying of the Almighty Truth:
“Then he was among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.” [Al-Balad: 17]
And the saying of Allāh تعالى:
