[ibn mostafa]

I have an illness that is believed to affect the short-term memory. Due to this, I find it extremely difficult to make wudu and perform as-Salaah and make adhan without forgetting some of its parts. Should I just continue on performing them without repeating it over again.

Please advise me O'Noble Shaykh - Barak Allaahu Feek

Can the groom be a witness to his own nikah?

[abu yahya]

Asalamu alaikum

I would like clarity with regards to using the names of Allah preceded by "al", for other than Allah. This is because of some quotes I have read from the Quran and Ahadith where this seems to be the case, for example "rabbul-'arsh-iladheem "(Quran). Here Allah refers to His throne as "al-adheem". And Imam Malik said in al-muwatta "Luqmaan alhakeem ".

So what is the ruling regarding using Allah's name preceded by "al", to others besides Allah, considering these quotes?

As-salaamuAlaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh sheikh, May Allah preserve you and your family ameen.
I was in an online learning room, and one brother, came and said "My grandfather has passed away please make dua for him , read the Fatihah"
and he kept on saying this. I wrote on the main screen " May Allah forgive your grand father's Sin and grant him Jannah" So some Ahlulhadeeth brother , objected to my Du'a and said your dua should be conditional and you should have said "may Allah forgive him and grant him jannah if he was a muwahideen" and he said , our dua should be conditional.

I said" are you saying that his grand father was not a MUSLIM??"
I said how can you know the condition of the deceased ?

He said " his grand son said read the fatihah for him , which is a bid'ah practice in Islam"

I said" thats the statement of his grand son, but thats not proof that his grand father was upon the same manhaj" rather our dua' should be general unless we are sure that the person died on something else besides Islaam.
and its not upon us to find out the state of a Muslim, unless its aparent.

Please tell me if My understanding is correct and if I am wrong please advice me.

JazaakAllah hu khairan.
