My question is "What is the ruling on going into polygamy when one's wife can not handle it?" Meaning if the first wife doesn't like it and it will be hard on her can the husband still marry another?

BarkaAllahu feekum

Dear Shaikh,

I pray that you are in good health.

Thank you for taking my question:

Is it allowed for me to help my non-moslim mother with medical expenses for her pet dog?

These expenses involves probably surgery and the costs for monthly
medication ( for the rest of the dogs life ).

I really would like to help my mother in order to please her but I want to please Allah more.

Can you please advise me?

May Allah reward you with the best reward,

Salaam alaikoem wa rahmatoelahi wa barakatoehoe

Assalamu Alaikum,

My friend and I want to know the reason Muslims don't eat pork. I don't eat it, but she and I had an argument over the reasons. When we asked other Muslims we know, we also found various reasons why Muslims can't eat pork. So if you could please tell us why, that would be great!

My uncle Ibrahim said that if one memorizes the 99 names of Allah, in order, with their meanings, Hell fire will not touch them. Is that true?

Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

I pray to Allaah that this question reaches you oh Shaykh in good health and Imaan.

My question is related to the issue of working for an Islamic TV Channel (primarily) which broadcasts throughout Europe and the UK primarily and is viewed heavily by the Muslims in the West.

Is it permissable to work in this Muslim environment as opposed to a Kaafir run enviroment? In particular the presenting of beneficial News to the Muslim viewers and also influencing/aiding by introducing/propagating the blessed pure Da'wah Salafiyyah upon such a vast medium. Where this Islamic channel is predominantly influenced by hizbiyyah would it not be an advantage for a follower of this blessed Da'wah to use such an oppertunity to work up to the point of benefit for himself and the Muslims as a whole. What fundamental constraints would one have to observe and how should one conduct oneself under such a particular media environment such as (DIGITAL and not ANALOGUE) TV as opposed to Newspaper and Radio.

Your advice is needed oh Shaykh, if it is not permissable to work for TV, the how can one work in the media sector without violating the Shariah and help propagate the pure Islaam to the Muslim and Kaafir audience?

Jazakallah Khair

Question 1: We would like to understand two fatwas from Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah Rahimuallah insha Allah. One states:

وكذلك التفريق بين الأمة وامتحانها بما لم يأمر الله به ولا رسوله؛ مثل أن يقال للرجل‏:‏ أنت شكيلي، أو قرفندي؛ فإن هذه أسماء باطلة ما أنزل الله بها من سلطان، وليس في كتاب الله ولا سنة رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولا في الآثار المعروفة عن سلف الأئمة لا شكيلي ولا قرفندي‏.‏ والواجب على المسلم إذا سُئل عن ذلك أن يقول‏:‏ لا أنا شكيلي ولا قرفندي، بل أنا مسلم متبع لكتاب الله وسنة رسوله‏.‏
and the other fatwa states
لا عيبَ على من أظهر مذهب السلف، وانتسب إليه، واعتزى إليه؛ بل يجب قَبول ذلك منه اتفاقا؛ فإن مذهب السلف لا يكون إلا حقا
Some people use the first fatwa as stating that it is not permissible to say we are salafis and some brothers use the second fatwa to say it is permissible to say we are salafi. Could you explain to us how we should understand these two statements from Shaykhul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah Rahimuallah.

what madhab should I use as a framework?
I grew up in Saudia and USA. I came across mostly upon Shafii' madhab practicing people. But I take from all four madhaahib the opinions that are stronger in some I will follow that. What should I do as a student of knowledge?

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,
Is it permissable to buy gold or silver jewellery through the post by viewing a picture of the item and then sending someone money for them to post the item to you.
I ask because a hadith has been seen by some sisters in sahih muslim that seems to make this umpermissable but I dont wish to try to interpret this hadith myself.
Jazakumullahu khayran wa barakallahu feekum

Waslaamu Alaikum

wa 'alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuuh,

Following is what I was able to obtain based on what was said by the Translator in response to the question posed to the Shaykh حفظه الله. I hope that it will be of benefit to you and may Allaah formgive me for any errors that I may have made in typing it up.

----------------------

The Shaykh حفظه الله تعالى said that the answer to this question returns back to a Fiqh principle that has been mentioned by the ‘Ulema. That is, to acquire the greatest of the benefits and to push away the greatest of the harms. That is a ‘sorry’ translation for the principle, but insha Allaah you will get the point. The point is that the Shaykh said that if the benefit is gained (acquired) by working along with the television station and calling to Allaah سبحان و تعالى and the maslahah (مصلحة - benefit) is greater and more than the mafsadah (مفسدة - harm) i.e. the pros outweighs the cons, then it is permissible to work along with them and this is what I have understood from the statement of the questioner i.e. they open up the floor for him to call to Allaah سبحان و تعالى, so if this is in fact the case then it is permissible with these guidelines and also with the ability to have an effect on the people.

He said likewise, the second part of the question as it relates to the television - then we say what we have said previously as it relates to the first part i.e. if they leave for you the freedom to call to Allaah and to spread Islaam, then it is upon this individual to race to do that. As for the one who would go on the television and it is something that is not beneficial, nor does it bring about any change or any benefit, then we will say that no he should not do it.

So, the issue is built upon the maslahah and it returns back to the pros and the cons – if there is a benefit then it is permissible if it outweighs the harm.
