The scholars have the answer :)
This is the opinion of Imam Ahmed, founder of the Hanbali school and is further preferred by Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn-Al-Qayyim. They also allowed the condition to be verbal (not necessarily written) or if it is the norm (urf) for the girl's family, i.e. if the...
The law about seeking first wife's permission in order to do second marriage is related to a part of Hanbali fiqh. Whereas Pakistan and the entire subcontinent follows Hanafi fiqh so this makes sense.
However the Hanafis allow women to make a condition in the marriage contract which says that...
Q: We wonder why today the Muslims are so backwards and oppressed. Why is it that Israel can steal our land, and kill our women and children? Why is it that America can jail our men and do whatever she wants with them? If we do not understand the etiology of this, then we can never fix it! One...
Renowned scholar Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi has slammed Iran and Hezbollah for supporting the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad.
Speaking at a festival in Doha yesterday, Qaradawi said: “I kept calling for years (for efforts) to bridge the gap between sects, and traveled to Iran during the era of former...

I've been inspired by a recent thread to make this post. Call it a rant. Call it an inspiration. Call me crazy. Whatever you like.
Note: Whenever I mention any of God's attributes then please ponder over them rather than just simply read...
You see this is a problem with us. We are arrogant. God created us and if we believe in him then we MUST submit to his desires, even if we have too sacrifice our needs for his desires. He created us and knows what is best for us, even though we may not realise it ourselves. He does not need to...
The name ''Haman'' was not known anywhere. It was absent from historical sources and living memory. The Quran was the first text to mention that name alongside his career. Both things was recently confirmed to be true in an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic. As for what the Bible says, yes I am...
I have seen these debates about embryology, so no need to tell me about supposed 'errors'' [btw how do you explain the existence of historically accurate names mentioned in the Quran like ''Haman'' which were not even mentioned in the Old Testament.]
And about inter-marriage, yes it is...
It wasn't my choice. I was born here. If I ever get the opportunity I will Insha Allah make Hijrah to another land. For Rasoolallah [SAW] forbade us from residing in Dar ul Harb UNLESS for a reason such as Da'wah.
So? As a Mu'min it is simply not relevant to me. Lut alayhi salam and Nuh layhi salam had disbelieving relatives and wives. Pharoah was the most evil man of his time. Yet his wife Asiya was one of the most pious women of all time.
I don't care abt the history of Makkah al Mukarram before the...
The schism between Ahl al Sunnah and Shias is not about race. The shias are an innovative and dark cult.
Some Shia are considered Muslims, and some Shia are considered Kufaar. Various Shia have different beliefs: some have beliefs which constitute Kufr, whereas others do not. Shaykh Muhammad...
I am a Muslim [i.e one who submits to Allah SWT] and hence I prioritize only God over the rest. What he commands is final since he is our creator, not the other way around. Non-Muslims may find it difficult to understand but we Muslims recognise the SUPREME power of the Almighty and hence it is...
I hope 'Ex Muslim' is reading this. I was worried that his highly inflammatory post might deceive the Mumineen here. So here is my rebuttal to him.
Of course I'd be offended if a ****** disbeliever ever lay hands on a Muslimah. I am sorry but your analogies have nothing to do with each other...
