Muhammad Bakhit al-Muti'i (d. 1354) on Changing Madhhabs:

"in summary, it cannot be that there exists evidence obligating anyone to follow a specific mujtahid, that acting in accordance with legitimate evidence, and adhering to it, is not from the transition from one

madhhab to another in anything, but rather it is following the Kītab of Allāh ﷻ and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, which is the madhhab of everyone.

and even if we hypothetically conceded that what the later scholars [al-mūtā'akhkhīrūn] mentioned about the strictness

concerning the one who transitions from one madhhab to another is correct and based on evidence,

it is obligatory to apply it to one who transitions from their madhhab entirely without proof that calls them to that and compels them to it, and prefers what they transitioned

Advice from a Western Woman to Muslim Women:

Mustafa Sabri (d. 1373), in his *Qawlī fī al-Mar'āh*, quoted Junāb Shīhāb al-Dīn Bek (d. 1353), who in turn quoted the advice of Lucie Delarue-Mardrus (d. 1364) to him, saying:

"Tell your women to appreciate their happiness and

the veiled life that protects them from many disturbances.

If they knew how many of my female admirers cried on my shoulders loudly?!

In my ear are deposits of women's complaints that break hearts.

Ghāyrah that gnaws at the heart of a wife who enters these parties with her beloved husband is like a spotted snake.

What a snake! Do you know that? Dance parties, theater performances, and all meeting clubs;

they are nothing but torture chambers for Saint Ovidius (d. 135)

Abd al-Qādir al-Jazā'rī (d. 1300) Explains Why Muslims Imitate the West:

"Some companions asked about the reason Muslims admire and emulate Christians in their customs, attire, eating, drinking, riding, indeed in all their movements, settlements, rulings, and laws.

I said to them:

'Know that most people, or all except the elite among the servants of Allāh ﷻ, believe that if victory is achieved by the disbeliever [kāfīr] over the Muslim, it is because Allāh ﷻ has granted victory to the disbeliever over the Muslim.

This is not the case. Rather, when the Muslim opposes the command of his Rabb

And abandoned the Shariah of his Prophet, Allāh ﷻ forsook him.

So, when the Muslim and the disbeliever confronted each other,

the divine name 'The Forsaker' turned away from the Muslim and

Mustafa Sabri (d. 1373) Explains the Veiling and Unveiling of Women:

"there is no disagreement that unveiling [sūfur] is a state of primitiveness and beginning in human beings, and veiling [Ihtījab]is a trait that is acquired after completion,driven by a religious or moral

instinct that prevents them from chaos in natural sexual occasions,

and blocks their means, and becomes a barrier between males and females.

and veiling has been specifically assigned to women, not men, due to their engagement outside the home, and because their position

in sexual occasions is that of a student, while the woman's position is that of the one sought, so the request and acceptance come from him,

and the acceptance or rejection comes from her. And her veiling is a symbol of her rejection,

and she is adorned with it before

Mustafa Sabri (d. 1373) Critiques the Opponents of Polygamy:

"Islam's aim in its handling of marriage and wedlock is procreation and the fulfillment of human sexual needs in a legitimate manner. and all religions and civilized laws aim for these two goals, so it is

understood that religion [dīn] and reason ['aql] agree on the legitimacy of marriage as a means of fulfilling sexual needs, rather than illegitimate means.

and whenever a man needs to be with a woman, there is no way for him to do so, according to reason ['aql] and

revelation ['naql], except through the legitimate means of marriage.

and as long as there are men in the world who are not content with one wife and seek others besides her, the recognition of the principle of polygamy is necessary, unless one deviates from the path of

Choosing the Right Husband:

Al-Ghazali (d. 505) said:

"it is also incumbent upon the guardian to consider the qualities of the husband and look for his noble characteristics, and not marry her off to someone with bad character or nature, or weak religion [dīn],

or short of fulfilling her rights, or unequal to her in lineage.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

'Marriage is a trust, so let one of you consider where he places his trust'

and being cautious in her right is more important, because she is fragile in marriage,

And whoever marries off his daughter to an oppressive [zalīm], fasīq, innovator, or wine-drinking man, has sinned against his religion [dīn] and exposed himself to Allāh's ﷻ displeasure,
