Warning against the site IslamQA

*There is a more updated version here: http://mymuslimthoughts.blogspot.ca/2015/02/muhammed-al-munajjid-is-deviant-do-not.html

So this site for some reason is very popular amongst Muslims. Mostly its because these Muslims are from third world countries where women are expected to be at home and cook for their husbands, and its not uncommon for them to get a punch or two. This site is based in Saudi Arabia and while most of their fatwas on fasting and prayer are fine, there's quite a few fatwas that aren't.

Abu Dhar said, "I was with the Prophet (SAW) one day and I heard him saing: "There is something I fear for my Ummah than the Dajjal." It was then that I became afraid, so I said: " Oh Rasool Allah! Which thing is that?" He (SAW) said; "Misguided and astray scholars."

(NOTE: IslamWeb is an affiliate of IslamQA)

(ANOTHER NOTE: NOT ALL OF THEIR MATERIAL IS LIKE THE BELOW. I've even submitted a question and I was pretty pleased with the answer).

Let's begin analyzing.

They called a believing Muslim a kaffir: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/5281/Husband%20does%20not%20pray

They say its haraam to live in a non-Muslim country: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/27211/non%20muslim%20country

So all the Muslim academics, Imam's and Mufti's are sinning? Hey wasn't Arabia at one time a non-Muslim country? At the time women were very promiscucous, yeah like those Las Vegas show girls, a time where alcohol was openly drunk and sex was openly done. The Muslims at the time overcame all this and succeeded. So why is it a problem to live in a non-Muslim country today? If it wasn't for us then conversions to Islam wouldn't occur, and we'd all be living in our dangerous tribal countries which don't follow Islam anyways.

They have said its haraam to take Christians and Jews as friends, based on verse 5:51, but they have mistranslated it. Actual explanation is presented by the following scholarly sources AFTER the Islam QA link:

http://islamqa.info/en/ref/47322/christian%20friend
http://islamqa.info/en/ref/59879/christian%20friend
(They also said one who has non-Muslim friends is just like them (i.e a kaffir)

http://www.onislam.net/english/ask-the-scholar/international-relations-and-jihad/relations-during-peace/174411.html

http://www.aboutjihad.com/terrorism/quran_misquote_part_5.php

They say its haraam for women to drive because it'll cause sexual immorality: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/45880/women%20driving

If you keep reading that it later on says that women driving is comparable to drinking and gambling.
They say a woman should stay at home because they wrongly quote a verse where it tells the Prophet's wives to stay at home: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/22397/wife%20work

THIS WAS FOR THE PROPHET'S WIVES ONLY.
But even the Prophet's wives were active in the workforce, army and politics. Nonetheless the Prophet's wives were given an extra layer of protection, and did not relate to other Muslim women at the time. The Quran itself says the Prophet's wives aren't like other women:
O wives of the Prophet, you are not like anyone among women. If you fear Allah , then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech.(33:32)
 And also gender roles for women don't even appear in the Quran or Hadith. See the following:
Now look at what they wrote on polygamy: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/11744/polygamy
Look at how stupidly they answser the question. In Islam polygamy IS NOT A RIGHT, it is a condition with restrictions. The polygamy verses spoke about ORPHANS, so it is CLEAR this polygamy is not for everyone. The Quran itself says to MARRY ONLY ONE.
I forwarded this question to Onislam.net (OnIslam is from the creators of Islamonline, a site which is affiliated with Al Azhar, the world's highest and oldest Islamic authority). They refute Islam QA on this and put the hadith back in context (which Islam QA took out of it's original meaning)
They say that it is fobidden for women to visit graves based on the hadith that the Prophet cursed that woman who visited graves:
http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/8198/women%20graves
Now NUMEROUS scholars have corrected this, saying it's perfectly allowed for women to visit the grave sites. See the following:
They say women who do not wear hijab should be divorced: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/169563
While I admit hijab is mandatory upon all Muslim women, this is no reason for divorce.
They say it was haraam for a boy to get to know a girl on two seperate occassions: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/36618/girl 
The site Sunnipath, another popular and reliable site sheds light on male-female interaction  as well as on lowering the gaze:
Onislam also sheds light on interaction:
They quote this hadith all the time against women: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “I have not left behind me any fitnah that is more harmful to men than women.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4808; Muslim, 2704
They say men are smarter than women (you really don't expect this from a sheikh), for trying to explain why two women are needed to testify. The real reasons are that women at the time were not often involved in financial dealings and when women become pregnant or go through menses stuff can happen which might affect their testimony in negative ways. There's fatwas on this blog dealing with the issue of a woman's testimony.

NUMEROUS times they say women are to obey husbands, like here: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/70177
They do not know what this obedience thing means. It is explained by the following links:

http://askthescholar.com/question-details.aspx?qstID=14437
http://truefatwas.blogspot.ca/2012/07/the-meaning-of-wifes-obedience.html

Not allowed for women to act in theatre, even if she wears hijab: http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/index.php?page=showfatwa&Option=FatwaId&Id=85085

Look how stupid this one is: http://islamqa.com/en/20051

"A woman may compensate for her weaknesses by striving hard, and surpass men when they are negligent. Hence we find that in some colleges, female students surpass male students because of their greater efforts and their keenness to succeed when many of the male students are negligent and are not eager to learn."

So the only way women can be more intellectual than men is if men don't try? BULLSHIT.

Movies are okay to watch as long as there's no women: http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/index.php?page=showfatwa&Option=FatwaId&Id=89099

Haraam for women to ride horses, and also her face is a source of temptation: http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/index.php?page=showfatwa&Option=FatwaId&Id=87602

Those who say women should tak part in politics are "weak, defeated and dazzled."
http://islamqa.info/en/ref/3285/women's%20testimony

BUT Aisha, our beloved mother in Islam, was involved in politics:
http://askthescholar.com/question-details.aspx?qstID=13566

Not a correct way to guide a non-Muslim to Islam if you're going to attack their religious texts:
http://www.islamweb.net/womane/nindex.php?page=showfatwa&FatwaId=137211
 
While most of their stuff is fine, such things aren't. Oh and I only quoted from what I stumbled upon, which means there can be a lot more.
Many of their things are based in difference of opinion and interpretation (for example they say apostates should be killed, while other (several very notable) scholars say they shouldn't). I'm NOT trying to favour one opinion over another, I'm pointing out flaws in their site.

  1. You're kidding? I guess I could say the same to you. You believe IslamQA to follow YOUR whims and desires.

    The whole of the Universe belongs to Allah, there is no restrictions on where you can and cannot live. Plus, most "Muslim Majority" countries do not even follow Islamic laws correctly so by you're standards they're borderlining "kufr" too. Thus there are no "Islamic countries"

    As for the prayers, you have no right determining who is and isn't a Muslim. Yes actions speak louder than words but how would you know if the person were intending to correct their deen? Rather than slamming the "kaafir" label so easily how about you (along with IslamQA) exercise some patients and learn of the individuals circumstances??

    "Save Muslims from "idiots" like you"..... You have no shame do you? Why call a fellow an idiot? If you disagree bring yout points across like a decent human being.

      Question to brother Ali
      What authority do you have to call Al-Munajjid (may Allah preserve him and keep him on right path)a deviant. What is your qualification and expertise in Islamic studies. Even if you are trained in Islamic studies it will still not give you the moral authority to attack him in a way that he cannot defend himself.

      May Allah swt help us and guide us all.

  4. Just say that you don't want to agree to their 'fatwas' and don't want to 'adopt' to their right practices! IslamQA has always posted enough evidences and porofs to support their points for your kind of information. I would recommend YOU to read them carefully instead. If someone says that a person who does NOT pray is NOT a kaafir, then verily, he has gone astray beyond limits. You seriously have no knowledge of the religion then, for one of the most famous hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) states, "Between a man and Kufr, is the abandonment of Salah" (Bukhari)

  6. Thank you so much for writing this, jazak Allah(swt) khair :) Ignore the hateful comments. Islamqa seemed to be distorting Islam, so I looked up its reliability and came upon your post.. This explains the suspicious answers I've read. They might have some good answers, but they also have a lot of flawed/invalidated answers. Once again, jazak Allah(swt) khair, ignore the hateful comments, you are only spreading the truth and in sha' Allah I will help with that.

  7. Thanks a lot for this article, very useful, may God reward you. I had no idea they said it's forbidden to drive for a woman. They also forbid to study if there are men in the university and say niqab is obligatory.

    But you are wrong about the polygamy. I used to think that way but discovered I was mistaken. Before Islam, men used to marry orphan girls (very young) just to get the inheritance. So the verse came and say "don't marry those orphan girls, marry 2,3 4 women as you wish" and then it recommands to have only one for the reason you must know. Yusuf Estes explains this in one of his videos, I don't remember the title but it is on Youtube. May God forgive me if I am wrong.

  8. Ya he has some problems and these are real. The problem is not him (he made mistakes as any scholar) but googlers have problem to take everything google gave them.

    He said the arabs are best in intelligence and the Jews are next rhen the rest nation.

    Title of "Fatawa" (racism) "the vertue of the arabs" https://islamqa.info/en/115934

    In the following distorted tale he support the above link i gave.
    https://islamqa.info/en/117609

    I still have no problem but my problem is that according to him i am a devil if i doubt that ! Because the devil say i am better than adam (pbuh).

    He also said islam is not a religion of peace and this contradicted with the quran since Allah described himself as "Sallam".
    http://islamqa.info/en/43087

    He tried to explain the word peace (which is above his level) saying that "islam is peace in a sense that you fought disbelievers (non muslims;bracket mine) and they will submit to islam then that is peace.

    We can go to quote many garbage & self contradictory "fatawas" of him but unnecessary!

    Do this ; pray 5 times a day properly stay a way from any pice of shit groups.

  9. Although, this is very late...I just want to say...I still think the person who made this blog and the two people who responded above are ignorant modernists who still follow their whims and desires. Let me guess who you both probably listen to? Yasir Qadhi? Nouman Ali Khan? Hamza Yusuf? Hamza tzotris? Suhaib Webb? And other modernists and deviants.... It amazes me how when it comes to Islam...everyone becomes a shaykh automatically and apparently EVERYONE has an opinion... for example...we have a stupid ignorant modernist here who is supposedly "warning people from IslamQA" as if he is in any position to say or do that...this stupid idiot probably doesn't even know meaning of fatiha, juzz amma, or the pillars of emaan, or how to pray like the prophet....and he starts refuting SCHOLARS who spent their entire lives for the sake of Allaah and learning about His religion. With regards to "Islamqa" in particular...WAllaahi I have been reading fatawas from their website for over 10 years now and till this date...I have yet to find a SINGLE fatwa of theirs, that is incorrect....know you place ignorant modernistic idiots!

  11. what is he writing???? where he takes all answers? from onislam.net? calling them followers of azhar"the oldest and most respected" school???
    now mecca and madina schoolsare new and azhar is the oldest?what a crap!!! macca and madina was and will be the most trusted placeses of knowlage according to hadith that meaning: islam will be surrounded to macca and madina as snake surrounded to its nest hole close to the last days.so its obviose.also he cant compare time of begining of islam and now days.in the begining of revelation it was allowed to live in kafir lands and there was no choice,and now a days you have choice.and if you will copare everything to that days then you have to make alcohol and gambling and many other thing halal first and then make them harom as it was in time of sahaba.but its not that way .thats why we need schoolars to seperate for us what is rite and what is wrong. wrong weared article!!!

  12. May Allah guide us to the truth and give us the strength to act upon it, whether the consequences of doing so would be in favor of our desires or against them.

    May Allah free us from the conformity of the masses of the modern world, and make our hearts firm upon the path of Rasul Allah (saas).

    To be fair, IslamQA can sometimes lack touch in its delivery, and can miss the finer nuances that the various questioners are trying to convey (possibly due to some language and cultural barriers).

    With that said, I have never seen a single fatwa on IslamQA that didnt provide sufficient daleel (evidences) directly from the book of Allah and the sunnah of Nabi (saas). I have never felt that their fatwah committee was pushing a particular ideology, unless our being part of Ahl Sunnah wa Al Jama' is considered an "ideology".

    The frankness of its answers reflects the true spirit of Islam: truthfulness and simplicity. The abundance of content reflects it's nonsectarian roots, which are the roots of the correct Jama', the majority of Muslims.

    I think the white elephant in the room here is the fact that us as English speakers are affected by Western a.k.a. Kafir (or at least majority Kafir) culture by default. This unfortunately affects the way we understand everything, especially our religion which is under attack by mainstream media, academics, politicians, entertainment...everything global. Western (English speaking) Imams recognize this, and unfortunately, due to their desire for popularity and being accepted by the masses, many of them will water down the true Message in an effort to win popular appeal...and this is wrong.

    Your liberal sensitivities should not affect your religious values and certainly not your religious rulings.
    It is your religion, Islam, and all that is implied in the two shahaadahs that you took when you entered Islam (or that which you were raised upon), that should curb and uproot your liberal sensibilities, or any other sensibilities/biases for that matter.

    It is not part of intellect to use fancy, sophisticated words in order to illustrate your superiority. Words should be used to distinguish truth from falsehood. True intellect belongs to the one who submits to whatever Allah and His Messenger have asked, and true superiority is according to ones piety. IslamQA attracts these types; people who don't want to be treated like babies and munaafiqs, people who accept the implications of their shaadah, people who want the truth because they are prepared to follow it.

    What makes this article foolish is not the fact that you disagree with some of the Fataawah and viewpoints of IslamQA, but what does make this article foolish is that in your attempt to distinguish true Islam you have attacked a source of goodness and truth, have made unfair and exaggerated criticisms, have preferred personal opinion to textual evidences, and have sought to divide Muslims according to hot-button issues. I suggest you fear Allah when you speak and when you post things, and that when dealing with Muslims (especially ones who have dedicated their life to knowledge) you give credit where credit is due. Do not draw lines between Muslims and Muslims, only between Muslims and Non-Muslims, since Allah has commanded those lines to be drawn, and He SWT has forbidden splitting from the Jamaa'.

    Jazakum Allahu Khairun

    (((The second condition is that he should be able to practise his religion openly, so that he can observe the rituals of Islam with no impediment. So he will not be prevented from establishing regular prayer, and praying Jumu’ah and offering prayers in congregation if there are others there with whom he can pray in congregation and pray Jumu’ah; and he will not be prevented from paying zakaah, fasting, performing Hajj and doing other rituals of Islam. If he will not be able to do that then it is not permissible to stay there because it becomes obligatory to migrate (hijrah) in that case.)))

I have been reading through islamqa and one thing I love them for is that they give evidence from Qur'an, Hadeeth and from the guided scholars. I can say that you are not in position to proof islamqa wrong except if you can provide evidence from Qur'an and Hadeeth.

  19. I'm by no means a scholar but I am learning a lot about Islam each day. Your statement: "Um no, the Prophet, peace be upon him, NEVER said in ANY HADITH, that one who does not pray is a kaffir. Anyone, who claims to be a Muslim, is a MUSLIM."

    This is when you know a person like you has no credibility and thus a person like who says this should not be listened to at all. Do not attempt to refute sincere scholars when you have no knowledge of the importance of prayer. Prayer is one of the 5 pillars of islam. Islam is the surface level faith which precede eman(inner faith). When you enter islam, you must abide by the 5 pillars of islam, as it is the commandment of Allah Azzawajal, otherwise you are beyond the pale of islam and are not a muslim.

    Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi Wassalam said, according to a hadith in saheeh Muslim.
    "Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his neglect of the prayer.”

    Those who completely do not pray and self-proclaim to be muslims are not muslims at all. This is because prayer is part of the surface level faith: Islam. You are able to see someone pray, unlike seeing the true faith which is eman. If one who does not pray at all, how can he/she say I'm a muslim? Honestly, answer me this.

    Thus, your entire attack on islamqa is discredited.

    ReplyDelete
  20. However, if someone misses prayer because of laziness (delaying prayer until end of its time), without an excuse (work that gets in the way of prayer) and because of these reasons he/she misses a prayer or two of a day while not denying that prayer is obligatory in Islam is still a muslim. However the moment he/she denies that prayer is obligatory for a muslim (denies that prayer is a pillar of islam), that's when he/she has entered into major kufr and is thus a complete kafir.

    What you have said to me is that you did not know of the sunnan of Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi Wassalam. You also think one who claims to be a muslim is a muslim which is not true. Any kafir can easily say he/she is a muslim while he/she has never prayed (thus never entered Islam by saying the shahadah) and you will just believe that person? SMH

  22. This article will be such a heavy burden for you to carry OP and I highly recommend that you take it down or replace it. Last week we had a discussion regarding an issue and an answer sourced from IslamQA was provided and subhanAllah the number of people that said that islamQA is a doubtful source, subhanAllah; no evidence for this claim at all whilst islamQA provides evidence from the Quran and the Prophet PBUH. How can you disagree with Allah, subhanAllah! It is not for us to have firm opinions about something before we know what Allah wishes for us to have; if true evidence provided then who are we to disagree? what are we? How can we have a problem with what Allah tells us? The number of people you have influenced will be a heavy load for you, how many people may have read this and ignore sound islamic advice, fear Allah!

    For those stuck on the 'not praying makes you a kafir'; here is the fall of those that may even pray let alone do not pray: 'And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little, Wavering between them, [belonging] neither to the believers nor to the disbelievers. And whoever Allah leaves astray - never will you find for him a way.' (Quran 4:142-143). And if you deny the words of Allah as proof, then I dissociate myself from you and what you believe.

    May Allah make us and our families of those that pray 5 times a day, and protect us from the whispers of shaytaan who is a clear enemy to us all, wishing to place doubt in our hearts and disagreements between our brothers and sisters. May Allah protect us from destroying ourselves and our akhira and may He guide us in a beautiful way, Ameen.

  23. Not just IslamQA but anything relalted to Najdi/Wahabis is cursed. There is no 2nd opinion that Wahabis are devoid of Intellect. Even a 4 years old has better understanding than the biggest scholar of a Wahabi Cult.
    All those who are supporting IslamQA are wahabis or wanna be wahabis. They cannot think straight. Whatever feeds their ego they will like it. I spoke to many wahabis who say we are not suppose to use our Aql otherwise we will be misguided. If you think I'm exaggerating then ask a wahabi and see for yourself.
    If people have eyes to see then they will see that the Wahabism Cult is on the rise and it will rise till the time of dajjal. They are the supporters of dajjal working for his arrival (I cant say they are doing this knowingly or unknowingly) Wake up guys and see how the world is being re-shaped for the New World Order of Dajjal and what role did these wahabi terrorists played in all this change. Challenge your intellect and think of everything in accordance to the prophecies related to time period after 14th century Hijri and see the complete picture.

How about Indian Muslims like your beloved shah rukh khan who "marry " Hindus in violation of shariah and go to your Indian courts to get married! Or have you seen pictures of Indian Muslim women in hijab going to idol worshippers temples and tying "brotherhood ribbons" on the wrists of almost completely nude Hindu priests?? All this happens and the majority of Indian Muslims stay silent . Your filthy diseased allegiance to eastern culture makes you go wild when it comes to Arabia. Huh u talk of dajjal recycling nonsense from extremist Sufis. And are you not aware that terrorists from Al Qaeda to ISIS declared war on Saudi Arabia and many other Muslim countries and have attacked them numerous times??? or did your Sufi master tell you something else as you slept next to each other to "gain knowledge" or do you sleep next to the grave of your dead Sufi master like many sufis do or do you sing and dance in masjids after jama prayers as is clear from numerous video uploads of sufis on YouTube? To hell with with your filthy Indian culture and fake Sufism that spreads lies. You people arent fooling anyone. And like a 6 year old you seem seduced by conspiracy theories: new world order , one eyed logos in Arabia , preparing for dajjal. Do something productive with your ti e if you can and take off that tin foil hat, crawl out that Sufi masters basement and try to do something constructive - maybe start by some I prospection in your own society and analyse what Muslims are doing there instead of just jumping on the anti Saudi bandwagon ! Saudi has done more for Muslims globally in all spheres than India can ever do!

  24. Seriously my brother this article is going to be such a burden for you on the day of judgement...you are going after a whole panel of Ulemas and scholars who have spent their entire life studying Quran and Sunnah...they always give complete reference of Quran and Sunnah whenever they are providing a fatwa...its completely okay if you cannot adopt all of it because you are not submissive enough...but you have no right to point fingers like this...Islam means submission and Allah says in the Quran "O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy" (2:208) So follow Islam completely rather than looking for Heela to say its Okay if you do not pray..its the most important pillar of Islam and theres a saheeh hadith stating that Salah is what differentiates us (Muslims) from Kuffar....looking for heela to say its okay to go live in a non-muslim country where you obviously dont have the level of Eeman where you invite others to Islam but there is a high chance that you might fall into sins...etc etc....may Allah guide us my brother and protect us from hell fire....Ameen

  25. I think the people confused and yelling about islamqa being a great site are not bothering to click the links and are confusing islamqa.org (a legitimate and excellent resource) and islamqa.info (run by extremists, favoured by terrorist-sympathizers, no wonder, right?).

    Muhammad Al-Munajjid has said some amazingly antisemitic things and has some really... bizarre beliefs. Like, he thinks Mickey Mouse is evil because cartoon dogs, mice, and pigs are apparently glorifying Islamically reviled animals. (... no one is telling you to eat them, though, if you form an emotional bond with something, you're /less/ likely to eat it...)

    https://www.memri.org/tv/cleric-muhammad-al-munajid-complains-about-memri-and-clarifies-mickey-mouse-can-only-be-killed

    He also showed a lack of awareness, saying a woman must consent to her husband's advances and then got upset MEMRI called it "rape of wives." ... coercing someone, making them feel like they HAVE to say yes and 'consent' isn't real consent. That's like telling someone you HAVE to give me a gift, you MUST give it to me, or you're a bad, sinful person, no matter what excuses you might have-- that's not a "gift," that's extortion!

  27. Salam Aleykum dear Brothers and Sisters.
    Firstly I would recommend to all of you, who attacked the other verbally or used bad words, that even if you disagree, you should be calm and speak/write in a respectful manner.
    Secondly, islam qa in my humble opinion is not a bad website. It gives clear evidences in most of their answers, not just their own opinion. However, as this website is also written by humans, they have some answers, wich I personally disgree with. Texts can be translated differently by each person, but this difference of opinion is not a problem most of the cases, it is just normal. In some cases there are two different answers, then you can A) follow the majority B) follow what you trully feel good in your heart (not your whims, but your heart), as intentions are one of the most important things, we will be judged upon. Once I noticed, that they posted hadiths only in a fatwa, which confirmed their opinion. Maybe it was beacuse they found the others as not strong evidences. However they are scholars, intent good, even if you disagree, dont attack them. Just Allah (swt) knows who is righ and who is wrong. I would recommend, like in the case when discussing whether niqab is obligatory or not, write in the google: niqab is obligatory, and niqab is not obligatory. You can find different texts too, and upon reading them, logically, and with pure mind, choose what you truly think is correct. Or choose a trustworthy scholar for yourself, and then follow his answers.
    Thirdly, I do agree with the one who wrote this post, that there are some answers which disregard women, are much more strict, and harsh if a women sins, also can give more difficult/hard to follow fatwas to women, and this is probably beacuse, there are almost no famous women scholars nowadays, and those who give these answers and restrections do not have to follow them, live with them, simply because they are not women. This indicates the importance, to raise more female scholars. Some may think; Oh, no! No need!, or if agrees with the opinion that women are not as clever as men,think that they are not trustworthy.
    A good and common example is Aisha (ra), and other respected women of the Sahabah. There is no mental difference between genders, just between each person. There are women who are more intelligent than most of the men, and vice versa. Find the middle path. Dont be arrogant because you are a male/female. Search for answers, and learn not just the things you agree with. Look at the other side too, sometimes.
    As once said: take what is good ( from a scholar ), and leave what is bad. Again, I would highlight, that not just follow your desires, but what you truly, ( be honest with yourself, no one can fool Allah (swt) ) feel right. Pray Itsikhara.
    Astaghfirullah, if I said anything wrong.
    Insha Allah, Allah (swt) will guide us on the straight path.
    Amen.

  30. Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah.
    Your opinion is not correct at all. I fear that you are trying to mislead people from taking them true way. Don't try in this way and be good. I also believe that your this sort of trying will not work and finally you will ashamed of your bad works.

    1. "Don't try in this way and be good." Who the fuck do you think you are, a kindergarten teacher?

      There are some remarkably dumb people in this world. Thanks for helping me understand that.

    2. Also, please check your grammar. You actually sound more like a kindergarten student than a kindergarten teacher.

  31. I agree that some things on that site is suspicious. However the benefit is that they often list various opinions on certain issues. One can also see when they are trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Anyways, this is a great example that scholars are not perfect and often their cultural biases show through.

    I have heard plenty of stupidity from non-salafi Mufti's. In particular a few from South Africa who pass fatawa and provide no daleel.

  32. Brothers and sisters in Islam, Islamqa seems to be most authentic website, however, few misunderstanding and errors can be found, i.e. we are not allowed to settle in a non-Muslim country. But this is obvious, since none is perfect. Still, the website remains the most accurate. They provide
    all madhabs opinions, not just one, meaning islamqa is much better that other fatwas websites. Do not try to create temptations. Hope that it is clear.

  34. islamqa.info is best site for all muslims

    ReplyDelete
  35. As salaam alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakaatuh

    To me, islamQA is a very reliable Islamic website for ppl who only believe in qaala Allah wa qaala rasuul bcos I've not seeing them giving an answer without evidence from d Quraan or from d sunnah

    So t is now left to you to comprehensively understand d import of those evidences

    And by d way,I think d author should go back and study his Islamic studies from ibtidaai cos he lacks Islamic akhlaaq for telling the SCHOLARS that they STUPIDLY ANSWER A QUESTION

    Subhaanallah!
    May Allah forgive us all

  36. Imagine if you spent all this time doing something positive and good instead of distracting people and maligning an excellent source of knowledge for Muslims globally. You selectively take things out of context and go on a now outdated strategy of Saudi-bashing due to your own ulterior motives and agenda. Disgraceful!

  37. May Allah guide the writer of this article and all those who have been supporting him.

    Islamqa proves everything it says. It is the site that I mostly use as a reference whenever I have a doubt and it turns out to be correct all the time.

    All the allegations here are coming from a "Western" perception of Islam - the "so" called "modern" Islam that is being followed. As if a reform is needed in the religion. Where this goes wrong is when they interpret the Quran and the Hadith, not on the basis of the actions of the Sahaabahs and the Prophet, but on the basis of being more "inclined" to the modern Western society.

    1. Your mindset is atrocious. Look at my comment below if you truly think islamQA proves everything.
      But to be blunt, you're probably already so twisted in your misogynistic beliefs you must be blind to all reason. Wait, you probably don't even know what 'misogynistic' means. Shall I reduce my vocabulary to a more elementary-school level?

  38. As Salamu Alaikum my dear brothers and sisters. Please with all do respect to your Creator and the Ummah, talk to each other in a manner which if it was you that were THOUGHT to be wrong about something it be the way in which you'd want to be addressed. And if you don't care how your addressed still address others with kind words. I ask that Allah makes it easy for us. That He opens our hearts to truth. And that he keeps hatred, separation and the evil of the shiatan away from us, and May Allah Protect and Guide us, Aameen.

    Seek knowledge and fear Allah.

    As Salamu Alaikum

  39. As salamu alaikum wa rahmutullah. It appears that the person or persons who wrote this did so with subjective interpretations of what they believe Islam to be and not with any real knowledge. Clear distinctions and explanations of the weak arguments made in this article are refuted by the Quran and Sunnah and works of the other scholars of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah. We do not follow other than what is supported by authentic evidences. Islamqa for the most part appears to be a trustworthy and reputable site. May Allah guide you. As salamu alaikum wa rahmutullah

    1. "It appears that the person or persons who wrote this did so with subjective interpretations of what they believe Islam to be and not with any real knowledge."

      You're so incredibly stupid that it's hilarious. To be honest, I was trying my absolute hardest to see things from your perspective, but I just couldn't get my head that far up my ass.

  40. I'm honestly disgusted by the amount of butthurt comments of people defending islamQA. This article was a good informant of the heavy inaccuracies and utter bullshit islamQA posts. I couldn't give less of a fuck on how some of the answers they give aren't entirely bigoted, since I have zero respect for people who call themselves scholars but have such a warped and misogynistic mindset.

    For example, I was doing research on why one male witness is equivalent to two female witnesses when islamQA gave me this fucked up shit:

    "This does not mean that a woman does not understand or that she cannot remember things, but she is weaker than man in these aspects – usually. Scientific and specialized studies have shown that men’s minds are more perfect than those of women, and reality and experience bear witness to that. The books of knowledge are the best witness to that; the knowledge which has been transmitted by men and the ahaadeeth which have been memorized by men far outnumber those which have come via women."

    Scientific studies have, in fact, proven the exact opposite (that women actually have better memories than men), which has me rolling on the floor laughing at the sheer stupidity which is the quoted paragraph above.

    So the correct answer, which is far more rational in its logistics, came from quora.com:

    "The witnesses are the same. The misconception comes about from verse 2:282, which mentions that for business transactions, two women are a witness if there is no man.
    The reason is because men are obligated to work and protect and provide for women. Women are not obligated to work. Under such social structure, any woman who desires to take advantage of her right not to work and rather stay home and let the man provide will likely have no knowledge of the business, financing, and business transactions. As such, in the absence of a man, then it is recommended that two women are a witness to a business transaction."

    It's sad that we can't even trust a website entirely dedicated to Islam and instead have to revert to more generalized sources.

    So to the author of this article, thank you! I wish there could be more intelligent and woke Muslims in the world such as yourself.

    And to the assaholic dipshits plaguing the majority of the comments, I don't even hope for you to gain a few brain cells. Your bigotry is simply far beyond repair. I don't even pity you since I'm so appalled by the thought that people like you exist.
    Truly disgusting.

    As you can tell from my mildly colorful language, I can be a real bitch when I want to.
    So if you're thinking of trying to start an argument with me, just know that I am fully capable of sticking my foot so far up your ass you'll be picking my toes from between your teeth.

  41. Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses [and does not come], and he spends the night angry with her, the angels will curse her until morning.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 4794; the additional phrase quoted in square brackets is from Abu Dawood, al-Sunan, Kitaab al-Nikaah, Bab haqq al-zawj ‘ala’l-mar’ah).

  42. From your analysis and criticism of islamqa I come to a conclusion that you think you know a lot but your words prove that you know nothing.

    But the major proprob with you is you do not know what you do not know. You think you know.

    Anither problem you are suffering from is you are unable to accept reality when it is contrary to your notion. The notion based on ignorance.

  45. You are right, I noticed the same. It's okay for rulings on prayers and fasting etc. But not for behavior and social life they just post their own opinion rather posting hadiths. As far as Women are considered "this site will, make the people get back their steps if they are planning to revert" I can prove this with numerous hadiths that these people are spreading lies about rulings of women. And hiding many hadiths which talk about women's liberty. *DO NOT REFER THIS SITE FOR RULING ON LIFESTYLE OF ANYONE" they promote culture more than Islam.

  49. No Islamqa is not a good website. There’s some things on there that are too extreme. Lots of women and men have claimed that that website has made their imaan weak and even mine. There’s some things on there that are okay and right but some things on there that are barbaric esp towards women. Islam is strict and good but not the way islamqa is portraying it.
