The first question of Fatwa no. 6287

Q 1: when may a specific person be called a tyrant? Who has the right to call someone as such? Finally, what is the ruling on such a label being repeated by the common people after being conveyed from its first teller?
A: A tyrant is an oppressive person. Such a description may only be ascribed to specific people by those who have sound knowledge and certain information about people who deserve to be called so.On the other hand, it is not permissible that the common people ascribe such a label
to specific people as they are not entitled to issue a Shar'y (Islamic legal) ruling.

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Chairman: 'Abdul-'Aziz ibn 'Abdullah ibn Baaz
Member: 'Abdullah ibn Ghudayyan

Fatwa no. 20747

Q 2: On many occasions we meet people saying that they have good or bad luck; is it permissible to believe in luck?

A: Muslims have to believe in the Divine Decree. They have to endure adversity patiently and thank and praise Allah at times of prosperity.
They have to believe that Allah has already divided provisions amongst His slaves and decreed for them different ages and deeds when they were just fetuses in the wombs of their mothers. Allah is All-Wise regarding all His Divine Decree.

Accordingly, it is Wajib (obligatory) on
every Muslim to ascribe all the graces and abundant provisions that people have to Allah (سبحانه): the Only One Who grants all bounties and facilitates them to His slaves. Muslims also have to ascribe anything that afflicts them to the Divine Decree.

Q: What is the ruling on saying: "Allah and His Messenger know best"?

A: Since the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) has already died, it is only permissible to say: "Allah knows best". This is because the phrase which is mentioned in the question means that the
Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) knows things that happened after he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) had passed away and things that will happen in future though Allah has not informed His Messenger of such things through Wahy (Revelation). Having the knowledge of the future is something
which is specific only to Allah Alone (سبحانه وتعالى). On the other hand, saying the phrase which is mentioned in the question was permissible during the lifetime of the Messenger as he was being taught by Allah through Wahy.

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings

Its all well and good to have months long lockdown,

But when our jobs are at risk it's no longer a covid issue, you are messing with the bread on the table.

Bills aren't going to stop, but the jobs are.

Ruining livelihoods all because we too scared to catch a fever.

Pathetic.
I've had fevers in the past with both noses blocked, throat so sore I couldn't open my mouth, nose running like Niagara Falls, couldn't get out of bed for 2 weeks straight, absolutely miserable, body feeling like it's been dipped in lava and ice same time.

Yet no lockdown.

Lol
There's 100s of diseases/ilnesses transmissible from person to person which are worse than or just as bad as covid, yet I never saw this level of response for those?

Can't enter venues except if you been vaccinated?, every 3 days must get covid test or you're fired from your job

Q: In this country, some ex-Christian women who became atheists marry Muslim men. Is this permissible?

Shaykh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz رحمه الله: If these women turn from Christianity to atheism or communism, it is not permissible for Muslim men to marry them. They must be Christians
so that their marriage becomes permissible. However, if they turn to communism and such, they are no longer considered from the People of the Book.

- Majmū Fatawa of Shaykh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz 28/121
Ulema also mention they must be pious, chaste and practising Christians.

Just because she says she's Christian is not enough, there are those who commit zina with multiple men a month, and those who believe in evolution or secularism etc these are not Ahlul Kitab.

Ruling on judging by laws other than those decreed by Allah

(Question in Image)

Shaykh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz رحمه الله: Those who judge by laws other than what Allah revealed vary according to their beliefs and deeds. Those who rule by secular laws believing that they are more
appropriate and propitious than the revealed Laws of Allah are Kafirs (disbelievers) according the unanimous view of Muslim scholars. The same ruling applies to those who rule by manmade laws instead of the Shari ah (Islamic law) of Allah
believing that it is permissible to do so, even if they still acknowledge that the Shari`ah is more superior than manmade laws. This is because they make lawful what Allah has prohibited Whoever judges by what Allah did not reveal on the ground of mere whimsical desires, or in

His speech is correct.

Some accuse this account of being Abdul-Hamids new fake account.

Nevertheless his words are true.

Quran, Sunnah Speech of the Salaf:

abukhadeejah.com/testing-the-pe…

abukhadeejah.com/imaam-barbahaa…

Those mocking this principle should beware of mocking Deen of Allah
Shaikh al-Allamah Ubaid Al-Jābiree (may Allah preserve him) said:

“They used to say [in the time of the Salaf]: «Test the people of Madinah by asking them about Mālik (died 179H); test the people of Syria by asking them about Al-Awzā‛ee (died 157H);
test the people of Egypt by asking them about Layth Ibn Sa’d (died 175H); test the people of Mawsul by asking them about Al-Mu‛āfah Ibn ‛Imrān (died 185H).» 

And this era the men are tested by asking them about Shaikh Rabee’ (may Allah preserve him).
