Can We Say “A Particular Dead Person Has Been Forgiven” or “Granted Mercy” – Permanent Committee Of Scholars

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Basics, Charity (Sadaqah), Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Methodology - 'Manhaj', Monotheism - Tawheed, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question: Is it permissible for a person to say about a dead person, “Fulaan [i.e. such and such] is Marhoom [i.e. he has been forgiven or bestowed with mercy] or my father is Marhoom [i.e. he has been forgiven or bestowed with mercy]?”

Answer: The statement Al-Marhoom [i.e. the one forgiven or bestowed with mercy] is not permissible to be uttered about a dead person, rather it is to be said: ‘’Rahimahullaah [may Allaah have mercy upon him]- because the first statement [i.e. al-Marhoom] is information given by the speaker whilst he is not aware of the true state of affairs [of the dead person], rather Allaah is the [only] One who knows about it.

Abu Ad-Dardaa [radiyallaahu-anhu] said:

Supplicate to Allaah in your times of ease and He will answer your supplication in your times of difficulty.”  A man said to him, ‘’Advise me.” So he said to him, ‘’Remember Allaah in times of ease and He [The Mighty and Majestic] will remember you when you are in difficulty.”

Ruling on Visiting The Prophet’s Masjid in the Month of Rajab – Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Basics, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Refutations, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) said:

Some of the people believe that visiting the prophets masjid in (the month of) Rajab has great virtue and they devote themselves to it and they call this visit, “Az-Ziyaaratul Rajbiyyah”, and this is an innovation with no basis.

And the predecessors did not speak about this until after the third generation. Because from the apparent this came about very late, so it is an innovation.

However whoever visits Madeenah in Rajab, not because it is Rajab, then there is no sin upon him. However if he believes that visiting in Rajab has virtue then indeed he has been unsuccessful (in his action) (1) and has gone astray. And he is from the people of innovation. (2)

What is Certainty? – Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu)

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Brotherhood, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Salaf As Saalih (Pious Predecessors), Seeking Knowledge.

Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

Certainty is that you neither please the people to displease Allaah nor envy anyone for the provision Allaah has given him, nor blame anyone for what Allaah has not given you; because Allaah’s provision will neither come to you through the eagerness of the one [who wants it to come to you] nor will it be repelled by the dislike of the one who dislikes that [it should be given to you].

Specifying the Month of Rajab for Worship – Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

What is the ruling on specifying the Month of Rajab for Umrah, or Fasting or any other righteous actions? And does it have a distinction over the rest of the Sacred Months?

There is no distinction for the Month of Rajab over the rest of the Sacred Months, and it is not to be specified:

Not for umrah, nor fasting , nor prayer and it with reciting of the Quraan, rather it is like the rest of the Sacred Months.

And all the reported narrations regarding the virtue of prayer in it (Rajab), or fasting in it, indeed they are weak, and legislated ruling is not founded on it.
