Best of you

29. "The best of days that you should perform cupping are the 17th, 19th and 21st of the month. I did not pass a single gathering of angels on the night of Isrâ' except that they would say to me, 'O Muhammad, perform cupping!'" [Ahmad, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

Praying Behind the one who Smokes or Shaves his Beard

Question:

Esteemed Shaykh may Allaah grant you that which is better, what is your opinion regarding an Imaam that smokes or one that shaved his beard?
Answer:

The issue of praying behind the one who shaves, that which is correct, is that the prayer behind the sinful one (Faasiq) is correct because there is no proof removing the validity of the Imaamah of the sinful Imaam. However, there is no doubt that it is not permissible for the one who is in authority to place in the mosques one who is sinful and an open sinner. And it is also correct if one was to find a mosque wherein the Imaam possessed Taqwa that is not with this one (the sinful Imaam) and goes to it.
