Q&A

Questions and answers, i.e. fatwas, from shuyookh and people of knowledge.

Is Alcohol Najas?

Is alcohol najas? While scholars disagreed, all for madhahib say it IS najas. Why? Because of the ayah in Surah Ma'idah--alcohol, divination, and gambling are rijs (filth). Filth is najas by default! And the hadith of washing the inaa' of the people of the book--inaa' refers to plates and bowls and utensils, but also cups! Why mention cups? Alcohol!


Utensils and Vessels

Which utensils and vessels are halal to eat from? This is an important question--your du'a is at stake! If you eat from the haraam, Allah does not accept your du'a! The majority of utensils and vessels are ok, by consensus--but what about non-Muslims' stuff? Scholars differed. (This affects if you can eat at non-Muslim restaurants, too.)


Fard vs. Wajib

What's the difference between fard and wajib? Allah knows best, the majority of scholars say there IS no difference. In the Hanafi madhab, they differentiate; one report is that neglecting one makes you a non-Muslim, while neglecting the other doesn't. One report is that fard is for Qur'anic commands and wajib is for sunnah commands. Allah knows best--in the end, they're the same thing.


The Grand Name

The Prophet said: "To Allah belongs a Grand Name, an ismun athiym, that, if you make du'a with it, it will be responded to. And if you plead or request with it, it shall be answered." What is this Grand Name?


The Kuffaar Ask Who Created Allaah

Who created Allah? How can Allah exist since the beginning? Learn the Messenger of Allah's method of answering such nonsensical illogical questions.


Knowledge, Practice, Da’wah

How can you be among those Allah loves? Strive and show interest in the deen. Knowledge entails practice. The priority in da'wah is tawhid.


Best Way to Increase Eman?

What is the best way to increase one's eman? The single greatest way is to gain knowledge. Perform good deeds. Study seera. Make du'a. Avoid sin.


Forgiveness for Shirk?

Is shirk unforgivable? What about other sins? Yasir Qadhi presents a case based on the Qur'an and Sunnah. Repentance wipes out all sins, without exception.
