BENEFIT 410: Beware of Fazaa'il e A'maal & Tableeghi Nisab
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili hafidahullah mentioned while speaking about Jamā'at At-Tablīgh:
There is a well-known book among them titled Fazail-e-A'maal, authored by Muhammad Zakariya, who was the son-in-law of Muhammad Ilyas, the founder of the group. He was considered the scholar of the group, if there was any scholar among them, as they generally do not place importance on knowledge and tend to distance…
After completing the fast of the month of Ramaḍhān and celebrating ’Eid Al-Fiṭr on the first day of Shawwāl, people begin to fast the first six days of Shawwāl. Then, on the eighth day, they designate it as “Eid Al-Abrār”; ”Eid of the Righteous.
This is among the newly innovated practices in the month of Shawwāl which Muslims must be made aware of.

BENEFIT 409: The Consequences of Supporting Wrongdoers
Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
"Whoever supports the criminals among the oppressors in their injustice, or the people of whims and innovations in their desires and innovations, or the people of immorality and lusts in their debauchery and passions—seeking to spare himself the pain of their harm—will suffer, both in the short and long term, a pain from siding with them far greater than what…

BENEFIT 408: Sheikh Uthaymeen's Reaction to Being Publicly Refuted
Sheikh Hamood At-Tuwaijri (may Allāh have mercy on him) wrote a refutation on the Sheikh Uthaymeen (may Allāh have mercy on him) regarding the issue of Allāh’s Ma’iyyah (Divine Presence). He stated:
"I have come across an evil article by one of the contemporaries, in which he claims at the outset that Allāh’s Ma’iyyah with His creation is an intrinsic one that befits His majesty and greatness, and that it does…

He said: 'Each group should have its own masjid where they gather for Jumu'ah prayer, and that suffices without them all needing to assemble in the main mosque.' However, the opinion of the majority i
This concludes his statement (may Allāh have mercy on him).
Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allāh have mercy on him) was asked about the Jumu'ah prayer in the Citadel Mosque of Damascus—was it valid, given that another Jumu'ah sermon was being delivered elsewhere in the city?
He replied:
"Yes, it is permissible to perform the Friday prayer there, as it is considered a separate city, similar to the case of…
If this was permitted for the ’Eid prayer due to necessity, then the same applies to the Jumu'ah prayer, as both share the rationale of hardship, necessity, and consideration for the well-being of Mus
Muwaffaq Ad-Deen Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Qudamah (may Allāh have mercy on him) stated in Al-Mughni (Vol. 2, p. 184), when commenting on the statement of Abul Qasim Al-Khiraqi (may Allāh have mercy on him):
“If the city is large and requires multiple congregational masjids, then performing Jumu'ah prayer in all of them is permissible.”
He elaborated:
“In summary, if a city is so large that it is…
Question: What is the ruling on holding Jumu'ah prayers in two or more locations within a single two or neighbourhood, with a clear and sufficient evidence-based explanation?
Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah responded:
Know, may Allāh guide you, that the majority of scholars hold the position that it is prohibited to hold multiple Jumu'ah prayers in a single town unless there is a genuine need. This is because the Prophet ﷺ never held more than one Friday prayer in Madinah throughout his lifetime, and the same was true during the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs—Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthman,…

BENEFIT 407: Don't let emotions and attachments get the better of you
A Muslim is required to adhere to the Qur'ān and Sunnah and should not be guided by emotion alone. Relying solely on emotions can lead to accepting false beliefs, remaining silent in the face of falsehood, and even approving of it.
For this reason, when one examines the path of the early believers, it becomes evident that they were not driven by mere emotion. This is illustrated in the ḥadīth recorded by…
This issue arises frequently, particularly in our time, when realities have become distorted, and falsehood is widely promoted. Ahlul-Bid’ah often embellish their deviations with titles that appear virtuous but conceal misguidance. For instance, they label Rafidhism as "love for the Prophet’s family," the denial of divine attributes as "monotheism," and the rejection of Qadr as "justice," and so on.

"Let it be known to all who appease the Houthis that they are merely their prey—if not devoured today, they will be tomorrow. Even if a Houthi strikes his chest in reassurance and tells you, "Rest assured, we are with you, inshaAllah, and you are safe," do not believe him. Their words are mere deception, filled with contradictions and false reassurances. The Houthi is a liar and a fraud—among the most deceitful on…
A perverse Barmaki wrote some poetry lines in praise of Abdulaziz Al-Bura’ee:
سجل شموخك واقفًا أو جالسا
في كل حال قد أخذت شموخا
Record your pride, whether standing or seated,
In all circumstances, you remain dignified.
لم تُنتَقص عند الجلوس وإنما
ما زدت إلا بالجلوس رسوخا
You have not been diminished by sitting; rather,
Sitting has only deepened your steadfastness."

It is stated in Fatawa Al-Lajnah Ad-Da'imah (vol. 22, p. 138) under the chairmanship of Imam Ibn Baz (may Allāh have mercy on him):
يحرم بيع الحشيشة وشراؤها واستعمالها، أكلا وشربًا ومضغًا؛ لما فيها من الإسكار والمضار والمفاسد العظيمة، وقد ورد النهي عن المسكر...، ولا يجوز الأكل من ثمنها.

Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allāh have mercy on him) also stated in Majmu' al-Fatawa (vol. 34, p. 212):
فهذه (يعني: الحشيشة) تشبه العَذِرة، وذلك (يعني: الخمر) يشبه البول، وكلاهما من الخبائث التي حرمها الله ورسوله، ومن ظهر منه أكل الحشيشة فهو بمنزلة من ظهر منه شرب الخمر، وشر منه من بعض الوجوه.
"Hashish is akin to excrement, whereas alcohol is akin to urine. Both are among the impurities forbidden by Allāh and His Messenger. If a person is found consuming hashish, he is akin to one found drinking alcohol—or even worse…
This is a question from a brother in America: Is the sale of drugs, hashish, and other substances that impair the mind prohibited? Please provide evidence.
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh answered:
Hashish, drugs, and all substances that impair the mind are categorically prohibited by explicit textual evidence and scholarly consensus.
As for textual evidence, Allāh Almighty states:
