  • Statement that life of someone who was killed was cut short is false

    I was wondering; is it accurate to say regarding a killed or murdered non-Muslim possible fate that if someone is killed unfairly, then their life has been cut short, which interferes with the natural flow of destiny, and henceforth that person had no chance to come to belief later in life because their life was cut short, and then due to the possibility..

  • Building mosques at graves and whether Al-Baydhaawi encouraged it

  • Asking dead to make supplication is not polytheism but religious innovation

    I have been married for 8 months now. My husband told me that he asked a person in their grave to supplicate for him once or twice a long time ago. He told me about this incident after our marriage, and I told him that it constitutes polytheism. So he immediately sought forgiveness and considered it to be polytheism. My question is whether our marriage.. More

  • Joking about sins does not necessarily mean apostasy

    Assalaamu alaykum scholars. Having fun with religious concepts does not necessarily entail apostasy, does it?

For instance, he said to me, “Had I known that you had money in.. More
