Jan-12-2008 - Questions here were Answered by Shaykh Abdul-'Azeez Aal Shaykh

[Umm Badr]

Assalamu alikum

A sister is planning on moving to Egypt Inshallah. Could you please suggest a masjid or imam in Cairo or Alexandria that you know is reliable so that they are not decieved there.

Jazakum alllahu khayr

[abusaalih]

yaa shaikhuna, may Allaah bless you, i would like to ask:

Should minority groups of muslims whom Allah has guided and who strive to practice islaam to the best of their ability, leave from masjids where the majority of the muslims don't strive that well (according to what is apparent) to start their own masjids, even if not leaving will not hurt their of their families' religious commitment?

If they leave, they will be leaving the others and their children without good islamic examples to see or follow, leaving them and potential new muslims without righteous muslims to call them to what is correct, thus leaving them to practice islaam however their desires see fit.

please benefit us shaikhuna, with what Allaah has benefited and blessed you with.

[abusaalih]

dear albaseerah, may Allah bless you for this beneficial effort of yours:

if it is allowed for one person to ask more than one question, then please include this question for me. if not, then please ignore this one and please leave the first one to be answered, insha'Allaah. jazaakumullaahu khairan.

yaa shaikhuna, may Allaah bless you, i would like to ask:

if some ordinary muslims follow different opinions of scholars about what may or may not be innovations, and these ordinary muslims disagree with each other over what the other is following, should these ordinary muslims who are not students of knowledge, do not know arabic, and take whatever knowledge they have from translated books, debate these points of the scholars they follow, in order to show the others where they and their scholars are wrong or should they leave the debating to the scholars who are able to do that, and continue to follow what they are following, so as to not cause fitnah or dissent between themselves?

again, please benefit us shaikhuna, with what Allaah has benefited and blessed you with.

[KMAhmad]

I go to a Masjid that only has one other Salafi brother and he is EXTREMELY rude in the way that he deals with the other Muslims and he gives a bad name to the Da`wah and the Shyookh who call to it. The only person he treats well is me. I am constantly trying to give him advice that I hear from the lectures of the great scholars but I think he is now too old to change his ways, and I am too young to change him, as nothing even seems to ever touch his heart when its in relation to da`wah and how to relate with other Muslims. I am only asking for advice on how to deal with this situation because it could have negative impact on my standing in my community to continuely be associated with him. Please note that the Imam of our current Masjid just tries to ignore him so I can't turn to him
