After editing your post, you say:
Hey blind follower, you should follow both the opinion but depending upon the situation not at a time. Are you here for Sympathy or publicity?
Explain what these situations are:

In what situation do the full brothers get some inheritance?

And in what situation do the full brothers get no inheritance?

Aziboy, I think that Albani reference really hurt you, didn't it? Be honest with us and please tell the world he went against Quran and Sunnah in Taqleed. That's all I'm asking.

After that, you can delete him from your posts, just like you deleted al-`Uthaymeen.

I really don't know what you are all about. I visited the SPUBS website. Even they have articles that oblige Taqleed on people like you:
http://www.spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?secID=MNJ&subsecID=MNJ06&loadpage=displaysubsection.cfm

Lone warrior, is there a website in the world that agrees with you in anything you are saying?

I am a muqallid of TTI
That's a start. Stay on this website. Either you'll convert one day from your current Mu`tazilism, or you'll grow to hate this forum even more. Your choice.

They took their priests, their ancestors and scholars to be their lords in substitute of Allah and (they also took as their Lord) Christ, the son of Maryam (may Allah be pleased with her); Yet they were commanded (in their books) to worship none but one Allah; there is no god but He. Glorified is He (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him). (Qur’an; 9:31)

Adi Bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) was a Christian who had embraced Islam. When this above verse was revealed, he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and said: “Allah’s Messenger, at no time have we worshipped our priests and monks (ancestors and scholars); then why is Allah saying so?”

To this the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Do you take your scholars’ words when they say a thing is halaal?” To this Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) replied, “Yes.”

Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Do you take the words of your Priests when they say a thing is haraam?” Again Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) replied,“Yes.”

Then, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: “Do you clarify as to whether Allah and His Prophet have said so? Hatim replied, “No, we know only what our scholars say.”

Then Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “This is how you make them god for when your scholars and ancestors say something contradictory to Allah and His Prophet, you obey them blindly without, in the least clarifying, as to whether Allah and His Prophet said it. Then your scholars become the law makers and law givers and you obey them blindly; it then tanta-mounts to making them your deity”. (Ahmad & Tirmidhi)

This message is not only for the Christians or Jews, it is also for Muslims because Allah is warning us to be careful and not to follow anyone blindly; Allah alone has the privilege to formulate laws and none other than Him has the authority or audacity to make laws.

Whenever scholars say something, make sure to find out as to whether Allah and His Prophet have said so. If you don’t and if the scholar says something contradictory to Allah and His Messenger; and you blindly follow them, then you too have made your scholars and ancestors equal to Allah.

Abdullah bin Amarra relates that the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said

‘Surely things will happen to my people as happened earlier to Israelites, they will resemble each other like one shoe in a pair resembles the other to the extent that if anyone among the Israelites has openly committed adultery to his mother there will be some who will do this in my Ummah as well, verily the Israelites were divided into 72 sects but my people will be divided into 73 sects, all of them will be in the fire except one.
'The companions asked. 'Who are they O Messenger of Allah,' Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said. `They are those who will be like me and my companions.’
(Tirmidhi - Kitabul Eeman)

Dont believe in Hadith, right? take a scholarly opinion then

Shaykh Abdal Qadir al-Jilani (d. 561/1166; Rahimahullah) stated in his commentary to the above Hadith in Ghunyat at-Talibin (pg. 90),
"The Believer should adapt himself to the Sunnah and to the Jama'ah. The Sunnah is the way shown by Rasulullah (Peace be upon him). The Jama'ah is composed of the things done unanimously by the Sahaba al-Kiram who lived in the time of the four caliphs called Khulafa' ar-Rashidin (and others in their path). A Muslim must prevent the multiplication of the men of bid'ah and keep away from them, and should not greet them (as given in many Hadith on this issue). Ahmad ibn Hanbal (rahimahullah), said that greeting a man of bid'ah meant loving him since it had been declared in a Hadith, 'Disseminate (your) greeting (salaam)! Love one another in this way!" He also said (pg. 143): "The title, Ahl as-Sunnah, which the innovators have expressed for themselves is not appropriate for them."

Are you done with ur craps?

Now ask your so called scholars about the above and revert if u r truthful?

Albani reference really hurt you?

Do you really think I am reading every crap that you right? hahaha no question of hurting at all

Either you'll convert one day from your current Mu`tazilism

Are you are trying to promote and do Dawah about the deen of ur forefathers here? Again I know you have got no answer rather than crap crap crap !

I was wrong earlier, you are neither an average entertainer but a BIG blind follower.

Put more crap of urs, who cares

Even if you are right for a milisecond - even though there is no doubt you are on Batil and on a mission to appease your own Nafs - nobody would ever accept what you have to stay due to your stinking attitude.

If you claim to champion the cause of the Quran and Sunnah, then the Quran and Sunnah themselves will testify against you on the Day of Reckoning for driving people away from the Haqq due to your immature, filthy rhetoric. You talk as if there is no Qiyamah, or you won't be held to account. Remember the Hadith about the tongue and how it lands people in Jahannam.

You are void of Ihsan and Tazkiyah. I'd start there if I were you. You probably don't even know Fatihah with Tajweed, or how to do Istinja according to the Sunnah. I guess you have no idea how many Fara'idh there are in Wudu and Salah, the difference between Rukn and Wajib in Salah.

When you go Hajj, realise that the Imams of the Haramayn are on the Madhhab of Imam Ahmad, and are students - directly or indirectly - of al-`Uthaymeen and Albani. You will be reading Salah behind these 'deviants'. Good luck.


Likewise, the ruling of the respected scholars [ra] will never contradict with Qur’an and Hadiths, and even if it does we have to respect them but follow which is correct.
You still haven't told us which opinion is correct: Do the brothers get any inheritance from their germane (full) sister or not - in the presence of the deceased sister's uterine (half) brothers (i.e. same mother only)?

One is right, one is wrong, according to you. Tell us which one is right according to Quran and Sunnah.


This is where the deviants differs, they think whatever came after ISLAM is a part of Islam and following it religiously because they doubted the revelation of ALLAH and trusted their Scholars and Saints…
The case study of a woman dying and leaving behind:
- her husband
- her father
- her mother
- half brothers
- her full brothers
came about only in the time of the Sahabah. There is NO Hadith on this. Umar bin ''l-Khattab changed his opinion from 'no inheritance' to 'inheritance' for the full brothers. The Hanafis and Hanbalis took the first opinion; the Malikis and Shafi`is took the second opinion.

So who is right according to you? Hanafis and Hanbalis? Or Shafi`is and Malikis? Enlighten us with your understanding.

Or are you telling us that this case study has nothing to do with the Deen of Allah, because it came 'afterwards'?

I'll tell you what came afterwards: the Baghdadi Mu`tazilites. A few centuries later, you came along.


The Reason behind posting this thread was to make some really good people visiting this wondering site aware of what the matter of Taqleed is.
I think this thread has been more of a lesson for you than anybody else. You now hate both al-`Uthaymeen and Albani, and you have nowhere to hide to save face except spit out more insults. You posts look ugly in all honesty.


And the big challenge and obstacle in today’s world for a Muslim [who is striving to follow Qur’an and Sunnah] the word TAQLEED.
Like you, who loves copy-pasting - then deleting.


If some from your present times dedicated scholrs says to a layman that loving your wife means ZINA, will he adopt that word and start considering it
What's that got to do with Taqleed?

If you doubt about the Quranic Verses and Sunnah than Allah (swt) will increase your doubt and you'll end up being a "MUQALLID"....
Allah tells you that such people end up as Kafirs, not Muqallids. You go against the Quran yet again.

وأما الذين في قلوبهم مرض فزادتهم رجسا إلى رجسهم وماتوا وهم كافرون (Al-Tawbah)

Check the Tafseer. Oh wait:
Well bro Aziboy, I am Layman of TTI... cuz i can't speak Arabic... :lol:
Tough luck.

Since the Shariah is in Arabic (not Punjabi), you can still not verify what any scholar is telling you, because the translation of the Shariah is not Shariah. You will forever be a blind follower. Very sorry to break to you the harsh reality. You are, essentially, a stumped Muqallid.


it feels very sad when our own brothers have different opinions about Islam as Our Prophet (saww) has not left a single place for doubt, this is our responsibility if they have an opinion clashes Sunna we have to rectify it... but still people will follow their desires and instead of going and asking a scholar they prefer Sheikh Google as their Mufti....
Well that's you and Aziboy, Imams of copy-pastes that got you nowhere. Islam has a dynamic legal system which is not stagnant, thanks to the efforts of the scholars. Ever since the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed away, the process of Ijtihad in new cases started.

I presented to Aziboy the case study of the Musharrikah sceanrio of inhertiance - there is no clear verse or Hadith therein. How do you solve that riddle? Enlighten us in light of Kitab and Sunnah. Spare us your insults for a change.


not denying that we cannot derive ruling fom Qur'an and Hadith, if i go and ask any scholar about an Hadith and he give me a ruling according to Qur'an and Sunnah than i am not doing Taqleed im doing investigation...
OK he is obliged to give you evidence. But evidence is in Arabic. He is not obliged to give you a translation. Also, he is not obliged to give you anything at all if he feels you would become confused. Since you are a confused individual, I would advise any person to deprive you of evidence, since you don't deserve it. You should focus on cleaning your heart first and stop thinking ill of other Muslims.


Sister in Islam, i am reading your post word by word but i dont find any logic for Taqleed in it... there is no denying about being a Layman, whilst our focus is on Taqleed...
So a layman must investigate? Is that what you are saying? Does your whole family know from Kitab and Sunnah how to do Istinja? Or do they just clean themselves? Let's start from there, shall we?


on one hand you telling me that a Layman is a Blind Follower and on the other you telling me that Layman has a ability to understand Aqeeda related stuff...
No, the main point is that a layman identifies a trustworthy scholar, who would point out to the layman that there are matters in Deen that are Aqeedah (fundamentals). Laymen are only obliged to identify a scholar who would tell them this. And by the way, following a scholar in matters of fundamentals is not called Taqleed, because the domain of Taqleed is in non-fundamentals only.


If i were to accept your opinions than why don't i become a Shia'a? their claims can be found in Qur'an as well... they claim the word Shia'a is mentioned around 4-5 times... no word such as "Sunni" is there than how will justify my religion??? i am blind follower i'll be forced to accept that cuz their evidence is in Qur'an.... what are your opnions on this?
I thought about giving you a proper answer, but then I thought against it, because it is beyond your comprehension. So what I will now tell you is that you shouldn't become a Shi`ah, but you should become a Mu`tazilite as you have proven yourself to be all along. The term is in the Quran:
وَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ (Maryam)

So don't worry about taking the path of the Baghdadi Mu`tazilites. Just make sure you let everyone know that you are reviving their creed from scratch.


Answer by The Permanent Committee: What is meant by the term 'Ummah' in this Hadith is the Ummah of response which shall be divided into seventy-three sects; seventy-two of which are deviant who practice innovated religious practices that do not constitute apostasy. Each shall be tortured in accordance to its innovations, and deviation, except for those whom Allaah pardons and forgives. Their final abode will be Paradise. The only sect that will be safe is Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jama'ah, who adhere to the Sunnah of the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), and hold fast to what he and his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) were holding. It is they about whom the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: "A group of my Ummah shall remain steadfast, on the truth, victorious, unharmed by those who oppose them, and do not support them, until the death or until the Day of Resurrection."

As for those whose innovation casts them out of Islam, they belong to the Ummah of invitation (mankind at large) not the Ummah of response. They shall remain in the Hell-Fire forever, and this is the most valid opinion.

It is also said that the term 'Ummah' in this Hadith means the Ummah of invitation, which is a general term including all those to whom the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) was sent (i.e., mankind) those who believe and those who do not believe. Whereas the term 'the saved sect' is the Ummah of response, which strictly applies to those who believe in the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), trustfully, and die on this condition. This is the sect that will be safe from [the] Fire; either by prior punishment or without prior punishment, and their final abode will Paradise.[/COLOR][/I]

Are you joking? Another copy-paste? From the Saudi Lajnah!?

Do you even know what they say on Taqleed? I think you know by now that they too oppose you.

Understand this well: you are a nobody, and nobody supports you.

I await your final response to the above. I personally don't think you should be banned though.

i think this is a new account created by thariq as he got caught up in his "FALSE BELIEF" so he is coming up with this... nice attempt bro.... you wasting your time bro... advise to you bro... ask some scholar don't depend upon google sheikh......

Hammy I thought you would have repented from lying (from the previous thread) and stopped lying. But you still carry on to lie.

And I thought you would have changed yourself from your foul mouth, but you don't seem to. Remember the apology you PM'd me:

Hammy's PM said:
O brother accept my apology i've indeed said many filthy and local language which i am feeling guilty of it now... u no i didnt had food properly last night, cant concentrate in Salaah thinking abt this... shaytaan has raged me to do this... whatever your opinion is i respect it but we all need knowledge to help ourselves and that also true knowledge...

As Prophet (saww) said “It is not permissible for a man to forsake his Muslim brother for more than three days, each of them turning away from the other when they meet. The better of them is the one who gives the greeting of salaam first.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5727; Muslim, 2560). O brother i greet you with Salaam and am really sorry for all that happened so pls forgive me for the sake of Allah (swt)... I fear Allah lest He perish my little bit of good deeds by this...

So tell me, you haven't had food properly last night as well? Is this your excuse again? You and Aziboy have a filthy mouth and you guys need to learn to control it.

Clearly from the above discussions, it is as clear as day light that you both are feeling intellectually intimidated. Thus, you guys are resorting to this filthy language of yours.

You are only exposing your true colours on a public forum and remember that these words will be held here in this very thread for the future. For people to come back to and witness your poor behaviour.

Aziboy, whenever you post reminders or other beneficial posts- people will have a bad image about you and will find it hard to absorb the good you spread in other threads. And this is mainly due to the bad behaviour you have shown here.

I hope you go to bed in peace- now that you believe that Allaah had left the ummah upon misguidance for 1400 years and has finally guided you. Oh yes, according to you shaykh Ibn `Uthaymeen is a deviant- please make sure you don't post any of his stuff in future nor of any other saudi scholar.

Br. HH. I edited the mistakes (which I spotted) in your last post. If I made any mistakes do let me know.

So a layman must investigate? Is that what you are saying? Does your whole family know from Kitab and Sunnah how to do Istinja? Or do they just clean themselves? Let's start from there, shall we?

Br. HH, Hammy will have to google the term Isinja as he has never come across you it. The (simple) terminologies are well above their intellectual capacities.

I am assuming that Hammy actually doesn't know who the Mu`tazilah are and will have to google it to find out.

Aziboy has been banned for his appalling behavior in this thread. I gave him a chance last night in hopes that today he would approach the topic with an open mind, but that was not the case. Instead, we find many unnecessary insults, an abhorrent attitude, and lack of any indication that he is thinking about what is being said. This is not the attitude promoted here, nor the way to derive a productive discussion, and I'm sure this could go on for numerous more pages and we'd surround the same points (as is evidenced).

May Allah reward you brother Harris Hammam for trying, I truly appreciate it, and pray other misconceptions were corrected.

I'm giving Hammy temporary respite, as you are discussing with him. If however I see the same behavior, in which the discussion is avoided in favor of insults and empty rhetoric - the same will be applied.
 

Harris Hammam

Seems Hammy has gone cold. All the better - perhaps Aziboy was his Fitnah.

Let's first rattle through some principles very briefly and quickly on Adab 'l-Khilaf - the etiquette of differing in Fiqh.

Ibn `Abd 'l-Barr, the famous Maliki scholar, said in his al-Tamheed, a Hadith-based commentary on Imam Malik's al-Muwatta':

سئل القاسم بن محمد عن القراءة خلف الإمام فيما لم يجهر به؟

فقال: إن قرأت فلك في رجال من أصحاب محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أسوة، وإذا لم تقرأ فلك في رجال من أصحاب رسول الله أسوة


Al-Qasim bin Muhammad [one the Seven Great Madani jurists in the time of the Tabi`een] was asked about reading being the Imam in a Salah where the Imam does not read aloud.

He replied: If you read, then you have precedent amongst men within the Companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him); if you do not read, then you have precedent amongst men within the Companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him).



This proves a few things:
1. Differences occurred in the Sahabah
2. A person who follows any such opinion with a strong following cannot be labelled as a misguided person.
3. A layman does not have to rigidly adhere to one particular opinion, or Imam, or school (This is with the a few conditions). If one adheres out of one's choice, that is his/her choice that cannot be forced over others.
4. There is no point arguing about such matters. (One can however discuss these academically and calmly in circles of knowledge)

The only job of the layman is find a trustworthy, pious scholar. That is why the scholars say that the fatwa of a Mufti is the evidence for a layman, just like Shariah evidence is for a Mujtahid. This is clear from the texts of Usool: الفتاوى للمقلد كالأدلة للمجتهد

Some took this maxim more literally than others - they said that a layman must do Tarjeeh between conflicting fatwas and Muftis, like a Mujtahid does between evidences.

However, a larger chunk of Usoolis said that this is not necessary, and he can take any scholar and does not always have to take the best scholar. Their evidence is that the Sahabah used to ask their Muftis for fatwas - not all of them turned up at the Khulafa's doorstep for fatwas, but rather they asked any available Mufti amongst the Sahabah. Supporting this, al-Qarafi said in his al-Dhakhirah:
انعقد الإجماع على أن من أسلم فله أن يقلد من شاء من العلماء من غير حجر، وأجمع الصحابة رضوان الله عليهم على أن من استفتى أبا بكر وعمر رضي الله عنهما أو قلدهما فله أن يستفتي أبا هريرة ومعاذ بن جبل وغيرهما ويعمل بقولهما من غير نكير، فمن ادعى رفع هذين الإجماعين فعليه الدليل
So there is a double Ijmaa` on the notion that a questioner can ask any scholar without restriction.

In this second more dominant opinion, the maxim الفتاوى للمقلد كالأدلة للمجتهد (Fatwas for Muqallids are on the level of evidences for a Mujtahid) simply means that once a Muqallid has a fatwa from a trustworthy scholar, he does not need to look further into real evidences.

The topic of whether a layman can ask a scholar for the evidence for his personal contentment is a separate discussion. In a nutshell, its up to the Mufti's estimation and whether he feels the questioner will understand or will become confused. This is clear from the Usooli texts as well. Read, for example, al-Subki's Jam` 'l-Jawami`.

Also, the topic of the opinion of 'the necessity of following only one scholar, or only one Madhhab', deserves a separate discussion. This is not the place for that.



Aziboy said:
Ok fine, so please help us [layman] understand how would we know if a hadeeth is authentic then?
That's an oxymoron, if a guy is a layman, then that automatically means he has no comprehension of what is Saheeh and what isn't. If the scholar makes a mistake, the layman is excused in the eyes of Allah. The layman did all he could do in arriving at the law of Allah, just like a Mujtahid.

The main question is when scholars make potentially serious mistakes. We'll try to investigate that next.

Go on then Hammy, you seem to be leaving when you can't answer real questions. You have yet to have said what is Furoo', who are the Mu`tazilah, how a layman can tell saheeh hadeeth from others etc...

Your posts, as every single member who reads this thread objectively will see, have been full of just emotional outbursts. And now when it's become too difficult, and you have nobody to support you, all of a sudden it's "I'm leaving TTI" ... This is a very bad trait. Instead of acknowledging what you don't know, you not only throw around insults, slander and accusations then run away. This is not the signs of a Muslim seeking to learn.

Not only that, but then you bring up Takfeer!

I said Allah will increase your doubt and end up being Muqallid, just because i dont want to say Kafir, but an Aqeeda like this... no comments....

A'uthubillah. Out of your desire to not be labelled a Muqallid, now you're essentially doing Takfeer. What right have you to judge Aqeedah, when clearly this discussion was not even about that?

This, my brothers and sisters - is from the pitfalls of being a self-made scholar. It begins with issues of fiqh and spreads to issues far greater than that, as everyone knows that if a person pronounces takfeer and it is incorrect, what the outcome of it is.

Hammy said:
i think you should change this page name to Turn To Muqallid... or Blind Following... it suits better as people here, in the name of Islam deceiving others... especially the new reverts.. BEWARE!!!!

Quit the dramatics. New users should beware far more of you - as you clearly are showing here that you do not base your replies on anything but emotion and self conjecture. You did not reply to one question asked of you on here - not even one properly, and yet you go around claiming you can know when a scholar speaks right or wrong, or that you don't follow them and instead follow Qur'an and Sunnah only.

Hammy said:
Samiha... you did a gr8 job by banning brother Aziboy.. simply you have shown your incompetence to prove your blind following here and well thanx for giving me respite...

Yes I did; I'm glad you appreciate it. This site is meant to be for clearing misconceptions, not about allowing anyone to say whatever they wish and go around in circles in a discussion for pages on end. Everyone can see on which end the incompetence lies here.

Hammy said:

Anyone see the irony here?

Here's this person making fun of others for being 'blind' when he doesn't even know who the Mu`tazilah are, and refuses to find out. And this is even more ironic because of the claims that he can judge the Qur'an and Hadeeth - when even lacking basic fundamentals in what is being said in this conversation.

Hammy said:

Cheap insults. Also very ironic.

Hammy said:
than your negativity in grave questions...

Which was answered, and you were given questions you never replied to. Do you know what it furoo' means still?

Hammy said:
than you said a filthy thing about Istinja.... Nauzubillah!!!!

... And have you studied any of the first chapters of any fiqh book at all? I don't see anything filthy having been said.

I do however know that this debate was definitely far more than you had expected, and I hope it will help to humble you to seeing the truth and that even if you leave, that you'll one day look back and realize your mistakes.

3. A layman does not have to rigidly adhere to one particular opinion, or Imam, or school (This is with the a few conditions).

The rest seems clear alhamdulillah, but I was wondering what conditions might be referred to here?

The main question is when scholars make potentially serious mistakes. We'll try to investigate that next.

This would be good to hear. In fact, I really think a proper book on Taqleed in English should be translated.

I know there's ongoing work on "Principles for the Non-Mujtahid" going on here : http://abuqutaybah.wordpress.com/principles-of-the-non-mujtahid/

- which is great and I think that too should be compiled and published when finished, but really brother - I know you've got many projects on hand, but these forum discussions are really good and beneficial, but I think far more would be English translations of some of these classical texts, or information on it somehow compiled well. I say this because many of the English books, even published by well known publishing companies are notoriously anti-taqleed, and continue to propagate some of these odd views. So an academic work I think would be invaluable in this era.

Just a thought.

wa'alaykum salaam wa rahmatullah

Sister, do you think it's fair or correct if a person steals and gives charity? A wrong and a right does not make overall good in this sense.

Closing this thread would not have taught Aziboy anything in this case, rather all it would have done is shut down a discussion from which there is quite a bit of benefit (despite all the side-tracking and unproductive issues). There is potential for this to become quite a good academic thread, and for us to all learn and gain something.

Did you go through this thread and benefit from none of it ukht? If you have questions regarding anything, now would be a good time to ask.

And if Aziboy wishes to return, once his ban expires he's free to do so, and we hope he will have learned from it. In the meantime sister, don't rely on any one person for benefit here - but partake in it yourself - in whatever way possible insha'Allah.

Praise be to Allah!
This, my brothers and sisters - is from the pitfalls of being a self-made scholar. It begins with issues of fiqh and spreads to issues far greater than that, as everyone knows that if a person pronounces takfeer and it is incorrect, what the outcome of it is.

This is so very true!

This is what happens when a person with no knowledge starts to believe that he has knowledge. Imagine a world full of heart surgeons who have never formally studied medicine at all and are performing surgeries based on their readings from Google!


Quite sad for hammy, he was the guy who was very bold in making challenges (in the previous thread):

Hammy said:
I thought to quit this cuz i know this is for sure this will end up in endless argument however you really taking this personally and if you want to have a go on me, than i am on bro...

Hammy was taking desperate measures by insulting muslims and he did all this to become a 'Hero':

And there has been a lot of provoking and sarcasm by the mods themselves. I dont think you guys did a good job at containing the contents of this thread. Usually when arguments start you shut the thread down, but this one was fuelled by all its participants.

This may be true to an extent, but let me ask you this - if you love the Deen of Allah subhanhu wa ta'ala, would you not want to protect it from wayward statements and conceptions?

We may be sometimes at fault for being harsh, offended or emotional, but imagine sister - if you see in front of you a young boy, who has never studied medicine suddenly begin giving out medicine to people, or diagnosing them, and then creating prescriptions based on his google searches, and you can see this person potentially harming many others with his work - and after trying to speak to him with rationale, showing him why what he are doing is incorrect, only have him spit back at you and continue on his way, do you think you would then just leave this person alone?

No, by Allah if you had any fear for the people he was giving medicine to, you would warn them of his ignorance, of his status, and speak against this action, and do your best to bring the truth to light, even if this means being a little harsh.

And I have to say, this isn't the first thread this has happened in. I've come across two or three, and maybe you have too.

Tell me, what was the outcome of closing it? Only to have them pop up in another thread and bring in the same issues and speak with the same ignorance. So forgive us for any harshness, but it was high past time that these issues were not hidden away and closed, but discussed FULLY.

And I for one am glad, walhamdulillah.
