Do I need permission from my husband to make up missed fasts?
● If the husband is ABSENT (i.e. travelling, working the whole day, with another wife), the woman does not need to seek permission whatever the fast.
● If husband is PRESENT, then it is forbidden for a woman to fast without his permission.
The proof for these two cases is the ḥadīth of Abū Hurairah raḍhiyallāhu ’anhu: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ…
Do you owe missed Ramadhan fasts?
You have one whole year to make up any missed fasts from the previous Ramadhan; ample time! But when Sha’bān kicks in, the urgency to make them up reaches its peak.
Sheikh ’Abdulkhāliq Al-’Imād said:
“Whoever owes a fast from Ramadhan and has not made it up, let them hasten to make up for it.
If they only have as many missed days left for Ramadhan, they must fast the missed…
Extreme jealousy is not a praiseworthy trait
Anas raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu said: it was said: "O Messenger of Allāh, why don't you marry a woman from the Anṣār?" He ﷺ said:
((إِنَّ فِيهِمْ لَغَيْرَةً شَدِيدَةً))
“They are very jealous.” [Sunan An-Nasā'ē (3233), graded Ṣaḥīḥ by Sheikh Albānī]
Points of benefit:
1. Excessive jealousy is not a praiseworthy characteristic.
2. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so it's…

People used to shop for ’Umrah packages based on:
- value for money
- competence of guides
- length of stay
- type of accommodation and proximity to the Ḥaram
- opportunity to benefit from the scholars and draw closer to Allah by spending as much time in the Ḥaram as possible...
But nowadays, many ’Umrah firms seem to be enticing youngsters by allowing them to play a part in their own…

الأمور التي تجري فيها الأحكام الخمسة
Actions during prayer vary according to the 5 rulings:
1⃣. It is Wājib (obligatory) if the validity of the prayer depends on it.
Eg. During the prayer a man remembers that his turban has urine stains; if he removes this turban immediately - he can continue praying and the prayer is valid, otherwise the prayer becomes invalid. Thus, this act of removing the turban is wājib in…

Question: Some people perform sujood outside of Ṣalāh and they supplicate in this sujood hoping that their du'a will be accepted. What's the ruling on doing this?
Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: “It is not acceptable, unless it is a sujood of recitation (tilāwah), sujood of thankfulness (shukr), or sujood of the actual prayer (including the two prostrations of forgetfulness).”

Availability and accessibility of the truth is sufficient in establishing the Ḥujjah
Sheikhul Islām Ibn Taymīyyah raḥimahullāh stated:
«ومن جواب هؤلاء أن حجة الله برسله قامت بالتمكن من العلم فليس من شرط حجة الله تعالى علم المدعوين بها. ولهذا لم يكن إعراض الكفار عن استماع القرآن وتدبره مانعا من قيام حجة الله تعالى عليهم وكذلك إعراضهم عن استماع المنقول عن الأنبياء وقراءة الآثار المأثورة عنهم لا يمنع الحجة، إذ المكنة حاصلة»
“Allāh's Ḥujjah (binding proof) upon people through His Messengers is…
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymín raḥimahullāh stated:
«سمّاهم الله أهل كتاب لا إكراما لهم، ولكن إقامة للحجة عليهم؛ لأن أهل الكتاب هم الذين يجب عليهم أن يكونوا أول عاملٍ به...»
“Allāh has called them "People of the Book" not to honor them, but to establish the Ḥujjah (proof and evidence) against them. That is because the People of the Book are those who should be the first to act according to it, just as Allāh said at the…
