Hudhaifa bin al-Yamān said that the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Islām will be erased just as the decoration of a garment is (worn out and) erased, until it will not be known what is fasting, nor prayer, nor the rituals of Hajj, nor charity; and the Book of Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic, (i.e., the Qur’ān) will be taken away (from the mus-hafs[1] and breasts of the people)[2] in one night such that not (even) an…
The rulling on the one who abandons prayer (Part 3)
Question #10: “What about the hadīth: ‘whoever abandons the prayer has disbelieved’?” [1] Shaykh al-Albānī answers: “This is not the first hadīth in which it is said that whoever does such-and-such has disbelieved.

It is not permissible for a woman to pray with her feet uncovered
Q: “Should a woman cover her feet when she prays?” Shaikh al-Albaani: “It is not permissible for her to pray with her feet uncovered, indeed it is not permissible for her to walk in the streets with her feet uncovered, because the feet are part of a woman’s `awrah based on Allaah’s Statement: {And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment}.1 The woman during the Days of Ignorance used to wear what…
Wives preventing polygyny
Question #3: “Is it allowed for the woman to come between her husband and polylgyny?” Shaykh al-Albānī answers: “Of course, I believe that it is not allowed for her (to do so) because of two reasons: The first (reason) is that she is hindering (her husband) from the path of Allāh and the other (reason) is that she is opposing the command of her husband… Because you know that the obedience of a woman to her husband is obligatory just…

The Descriptive Titles of Jesus in the Quran
(part 1 of 2): “The Messiah” and “a Miracle” Islam, besides Christianity, is the only major world religion that recognizes Jesus. A Muslim’s belief is incomplete without Jesus. Prophet Muhammad said: “If anyone testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone who has no partners, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, and that Jesus is God’s servant and His Messenger and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit from Him,…
The Slaughter of Livestock
(part 1 of 4): The Islamic Method of Slaughtering Although much less complicated and tedious that Jewish Keshrut, or Jewish dietary laws, Islam does legislate certain rules and regulation in regards to diet. All legislations which deal with this worldly life in Islam are based upon the precept of maximizing benefits and reducing harm, and if the harm of anything exceeds the benefits that might be gained from it, it is generally prohibited in Islam.
