Fiqh & Fatwā

A true faqīh…

He was asked a fiqh question. He said —

1. If you’re seeking fatwa (‘ilm in context), then ask the people of your locality

2. If you’re seeking (‘ilm in itself, non-contextual), then the ruling is what Imām Abū Hanīfa has stated…
I bring attention to this because, the crux of #metafiqh is to distinguish between non-contextual and contextual rulings and to delinate the process of reaching contemporary codification. It’s a pioneering effort. May Allah grant highest tawfīq and avert all envious eyes…
May Allah bless the true fuqahā’ and grant us from their adab and ‘ilm and guide us through their deep understanding and keep us firm upon their way. آمين

اللهم صلّ وسلّم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وآله
اللهم اصلح وارحم وفرج عن أمة سيدنا محمد

اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد نورِ الأنوار وسر الأسرار وترياق الأغيار ومفتاح باب اليسار ،سيدنا محمد المختار ،وآله الأطهار وأصحابه الأخيار عدد نعم الله و افضاله

الحمد لله ربّ العالمين

The proper use of science and technology…

To save people’s live.

May Allah’s infinite peace & blessings be upon Rasūlullāh, his pure progeny & folk, along with his gleaming companions, illuminated inheritors, and all loyal followers until the Last Day.
With an earthquake of this magnitude and 100s of fault lines in the surrounding area, scientists should be immediately mapping projected after shocks & intiating evacuation of seismic hotspots. Turkey probably doesn’t have this capability and is overwhelmed with rescue efforts. ImageImageImage
Keep praying & giving generously. We’ve all been praying to reach Ramadān. Many of our brethren won’t. Tears.

اللهم اصلح وارحم وفرج عن أمة سيدنا محمد

My Lord, shower Your Mercy, the mercy of Rajab, upon our brethren in distress.

﷽

The Ummah is one body bound by faith.

By caring for our brethren suffering worldwide,

by putting the unity of tawhīd before all other designations,

by giving what we can to aid them,

by every Muslim doing their part,

the lifeblood of our Ummah flows…
Be the Harun of every Musa

striving to do good,
struggling to uphold faith,
opressed in need of assistance,
poor in need of provision,
cold in need of shelter,
thirty in need of water,
lost in need of guidance,
brokenhearted in need of a true friend.

Be the Harun of Musa.
هَارُونَ أَخِي اشْدُدْ بِهِ أَزْرِي

my brother Aaron-
augment my strength through him

Ta Ha 20:30-31

“God is in the aid of His servant so long as he is in the aid of his brother.”

By helping each other, we help ourselves.

That is the Ummah of our master Muhammad ﷺ

﷽

Fiqh

“…if [religious matters] were [only based on] explicitly stated evidence, then you and the fuqahā’ would be equal.”

It means —

There is much more to sacred knowledge than transmission, and only those who put themselves on the same par as the fuqahā’ see it as such.
It’s ironic there’s any claim to nuance on social media. That’s why we abstain from religious discourse here & guide to proper methodology instead. Prophetic inheritors have a scholarly mind, not just a tongue of transmission. I’ve searched my whole life for them and continue…
If we render Religion a goal post that we draw near to us for a “victory”, we’ll win it for the ego, lose it for the soul. Dunya is delusion for it lulls us into thinking that it’s standards suffice for happiness. True believers know better. They know what happiness truly is…

Speaking About the Quran Without Knowledge

Very serious matter. Same is true of the Sunnah. Yet, it’s happening on social media literally every day in multitudes.

Consider the following case study of two posts (A & B).

Read until the end as this is critically important…
Post A. This is a personal misinterpretation of the verse. It contradicts the views of several classical commentators. There are both conceptual عقلي and knowledge-based نقلي issues here. Additionally, the “evidence” quoted is out of place. It isn’t applicable to the verse.
1. Post implies that the taqsīm is

praiseworthy سوء ظن
blameworthy سوء ظن

Incorrect.

Proper taqsīm is

good dhann (which is permissible)
bad dhann (all of which is prohibited)

The latter is the “part of dhann” intended in the verse. [t1]

White Rajab
Merit & Benefits

This year Rajab comes in winter, a compound virtue, for the colder months are the ‘spring of the believer’, during which longer nights are conducive to prayer and shorter days ease fasting.
For women who owe make up fasts, it’s an opportune time Image
Month of Purification
Preparation for growth

Purification comes before beautification.

التخلية قبل التحلية

Rajab is a month of repentance& purification from sin as preparation for the beautification of the soul, as if removing weeds in preparation for new fruitful growth. Image
Month of Repentance

O Allah, keep me away from my sins as You have kept the east away from the west. O Allah, cleanse me from my sins as a white garment is cleansed from dirt. O Allah, wash my sins away with water, snow and hail."

Ghībah

The emphasis on the gravity of backbiting is a foundation of all sufi paths, w/o exception, because it’s the easiest way to contraven the rights of others, the fastest vehicle to conflict, the deadliest vector of enmity, and of the most potent poisons of the devil…
One who can guard the tongue and ears from breaching the honor of others (Muslims or not) is one of pure heart who carries no malice nor envy toward others. It’s especially difficult to uphold in instances with those whom we view as adversaries.

Personal story - Recently…
one of my kids repeated “news” they heard from peers of a religious figure (with whom I hold disagreement) being accused of a problemic position. I became angry (rare with my kids) and instructed that such words should never be repeated again. Our home is a 💯 ghībah-free zone…
