Ta’zeer punishment for dislikable matters
Assalamu alaikum, can a tazeer punishment be given to somebody who does makrooh actions? For example if one frowns at the religious police can he imprison him? And if a person sees a woman unintentionally who doesnt wear hijab and then says to other she is beautiful without lusting on her? What if it is a woman who wears niqab and one sees her face.. More

Whether unintentional penetration constitutes fornication
I have been searching for my problem online for many weeks, but I could not find anything related to it. That is why I am posting a new thread. As far as I have searched, I came to the conclusion that fornication only includes the willful penetration of the female private part by the male one. I have a girlfriend, and we had it decided among ourselves.. More

Laymen obliged to follow trusted scholar in religious matters
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is that in some religious issues, there are differences of opinions and fatwas between different scholars. If someone adopts the ruling on the basis of any fatwa, then who will bear the responsibility on his shoulder about its consequences on the Day of Judgment? Take as example Islamic banking, on which there is a difference.. More

Definition of following scholars’ concessions
Assalaamu alaykum! According to one of your fatwas, following a scholar's concession is evil. What is the meaning of a scholar's concession? Is a decision made by the majority of the scholars a concession? Or is the meaning of a concession a decision made by only one scholar? I hope that you could give me a direct answer because I might have difficulty.. More

Weight of opinion of majority of scholars
Assalaamu alaykum. We hear “the majority held this or that opinion” frequently. How much weight does the majority carry, and is there anything wrong with being a Jumhuri (a person who always follows the majority) except in cases where there is clear proof? Could a person adopt the majority as their Madhhab (School of Thought), and are there any.. More

When a layman may act according to the easiest opinion of the scholars
I have read all the fatwas on this site regarding the issue which I am going to ask about, so, please, I prefer a personal answer. My question is regarding following Scholar/School of Thought A in some matters and Scholar/School of Thought B in other matters. For example, if I consult Islamqa.info, they say that photography is not allowed as a hobby,.. More

Minimum value of theft that entails cutting thief's hand
Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. Recently, I read on your website about the prescribed punishment for theft. I came to know that the scholars differ regarding the minimum value of theft which entails cutting one's hand. According to the Hanafis, the minimum value is 10 dirhams, because at that time, the value of a shield was 1 dinar, or 10 dirhams. On the.. More

Judge may waive disciplinary punishment
Assalaamu alaykum. Can a judge forgive a disciplinary punishment which was given for backbiting or lying? Can he reduce the punishment? I have seen that in certain countries, they give 300 lashes, which are given with certain intervals. What if they give them in one go? May Allah reward you

Who is entitled to issue fatwas?
Assalaamu alaikum. Today, if a person gets an Islamic degree, he is considered a student of knowledge. Are they considered layman, and can they give fatwas? What is the difference between a senior scholar/Mufti and a scholar/‘Aalim, and what kind of fatwa can the senior scholar/Mufti give which the scholar/‘Aalim is not allowed to issue?

Witness not obliged to testify if he fears harm
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question that has been bothering me. I witnessed a shooting that resulted in a murder, and I called the police right after the incident. Now the police wants me to testify, and I can not remain anonymous if I do so, so being a witness in this case may put me in a very dangerous situation, as gangs were involved in the shooting,.. More

Even 90% doubt does not overrule certainty
Assalaamu alaykum. You quoted another fatwa that said:
Besides, An-Nawawi said in Al-Majmoo‘, “Our scholars (i.e. in the Shaafi'i school of jurisprudence) stated that it makes no difference in doubt that the two probabilities are equal for the person or that he predominantly thinks that one outweighs the other.”
With regards to the rule that.. More

Strengthening faith takes priority over investigating the Diyah of non-Muslims
Assalaamu alaykum. Recently, I have read on Wikipedia that the blood money for accidental death and injury of a non-muslim (Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs) is one sixteenth of the amount that a male Muslim would receive. The amount is less than the amount of blood money for Jews and Christians. Is that authentic? What is the reason for such difference?.. More

Who pays Diyah if poor father killed his son
Assalaamu alaykum. If a father kills his son, he is obliged to pay the Diyyah (blood money), but if he is poor and his relatives are also poor and they are unable to pay it, then what will the punishment be in this situation? I know that this is a silly question, but I want to know please.

Choosing the lesser of two evils is religious principle
Salam. I have a question from a video I have watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg16u_bzjPE, which basically says and explains the following:
You are in a situation where five people are going to die, but you can save them by causing the death of one single person. Is it this allowed in the Shariah? Meaning: saving the life of five, by.. More
