Allah says: “…If a فاسِق comes to you with a news, verify it…” [Al-Hujurat: verse 6]

1.) Can we deduce from this verse that - ‘if he is not a faasiq, then we do not verify it’
2.) What qualities must he posess to allow us to take نَباء (news) from him without verifying?
3.) Does this نَباء (news) refer to all matters in the religion such as legislative rulings, hadeeth, and information about a person (something said about him, good or bad) etc…
4.) And can this verse be used as evidence to support the use of the Sciences of Hadeeth against the one who denies the Sciences of Hadeeth saying “it has no place in the religion.”

As-salaamu`alaykum. Inshaa'Allaah can you ask Shaykh Ghudyaan what should our position be if one or two shaykhs have some points against a daaee and there other of the scholars say the person is of Ahlus-Sunnah wa'l jammat and they praise him and reccomend him.

What should we do in this situation, specialy when it leads to the split and disunity

Allaah yazidikum khayraa..


Answer: You must look at the Caller and look at his knowledge and what he is speaking about and conveying. Look at those who are praising him and their level of knowledge and look also at those who are criticizing him and their level of knowledge as well. The reason for the criticism should be investigated – is it something to do with his belief system, his worship or his characteristics? Or, is it simply because he is in opposition to the madhab that this person has and he is differing with him, and he is being criticized because of this? What is compulsory on us is to investigate the matter and find out exactly what is happening with respect to the individuals who are praising him and those who are criticizing him.

question: when a Muslim has ibtilaa' like a serious illness for example which is afecting his 3ibaadah, then is it better for this Muslim to wait and to remain patient or is it better to ask Allaah 3azza wa jall to take this ibtilaa' away from him? and if one asks Allaah to take this ibtilaa' away from him, then how should he ask Allaah about this?



Answer: It is known that Allaah سبحانه و تعالى has legislated means, and from those means is ar-Ruqaa – the recitation of certain verses of the Qur’aan or certain supplication. We may also use the modern methods available in this day and time for curing illnesses. Allaah سبحانه و تعالى mentions in the Qur’aan:


وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاء وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
{And We send down of the Qur'ân that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism and act on it)…} [al-Israa 17:82]

There is a narration of an individual who was stung by a scorpion and one of the Companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم recited suratul-Faatihah over him and Allaah cured him. After this was done and the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم was presented with the scenario, he asked “what was it that made you know that this could be used as a ruqyah (incantation that can be recited)?”[14] Similarly, the types of tablets available, the water of Zamzam, and all of the modern methods that are used, and even operations that are performed, are all means that may be utilized and it does not go against a person’s being dependent on Allaah سبحانه و تعالى.

However, if a person is afflicted and he would like that Allaah سبحانه و تعالى use his affliction as atonement for the removal of his sins so that he may gain a greater reward, then this is left up to the individual. The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم in dealing with this issue mentioned that “from the seventy thousand (70,000) that will enter Jannah without any reckoning are those who do not seek ruqyah from others and they do not have superstition concerning bad omens and they do not do cauterization.”[15]

Some people think it is permissible to mock the ethiests what is your advise to them.

Answer: Allaah سبحانه و تعالى says:


يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا يَسْخَرْ قَومٌ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَن يَكُونُوا خَيْراً مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاء مِّن نِّسَاء عَسَى أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْراً مِّنْهُنَّ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ بِئْسَ الاِسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ وَمَن لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ
{O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former.
Nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame one another,
nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it to insult one's brother after having Faith
[i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked"].
And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zâlimûn (wrong doers).} [al-Hujuraat 49:11]

It is necessary for the Muslim to adopt Islaamic mannerisms in what is between him and his Rabb (Lord), and what is between him and his nafs (self) and what is between him and the people. He must treat each one according to what has been dictated by Allaah’s Legislation.
