Best of you

26. "The best of which man can leave behind for himself are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, an ongoing charity whose reward continues to reach him and knowledge which others benefit from after him." [Ibn Hibbân, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

3. “And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys… But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book.”(Qur’an, 31:19-20)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

The ruling on washing the Face and Hands with Soap during Wudhu'

Question:

What is the ruling on washing the face and hands with soap during Wudhu?
Answer:

Washing the hands and face with soap during Wudhu is not prescribed by Islamic law, in fact, it is something excessive, and it has been authentically reported from the Prophet Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam that he said:
åóáóßó ÇáúãõÊóäóØöøÚõæúäó¡ åóáóßó ÇáúãõÊóäóØöøÚõæúäó

"May the Mutanatti'oon be destroyed, may the Mutanatti'oon be destroyed." [Muslim no.2670, Abu Dawud no.4607 and Ahmad 1:386.][1]

He said it three times. Yes, if it is confirmed that there is some dirt on the hands which cannot be removed except by using soap or some other cleaning agent, then there is no objection to using it. However, if it is a habit, then using soap is considered an excessive act and an innovation, and it should not be used.

Imaam an-Nawawee describes al-Mutanatti'oon in his explanation to Sahih Muslim as:

"ÇáãÊÚãÞæä ÇáÛÇáæä ÇáãÌÇæÒæä ÇáÍÏæÏ Ýí ÃÞæÇáåã æÃÝÚÇáåã"

"[They are] those who delve too deeply [into things], the extreme ones, those who go beyond bounds in regards to their speech and their actions."
