Ask The Imam: Organ Donation, Following a Madhab, non-Muslim from AhlAlBayt, Reciting Salawat in another language

Friday March 26, 2021

 

Question 1 (01:34): What is the Islamic point of view regarding Organ Donation.

 

Question 2 (10:35): There are Hadiths in al-shifa of Qadi Iyad which say if somebody loves the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) they should prepare for poverty and hardships. How do we understand these narrations?

 

Question 3 (19:26): Can a non-Muslim be a descendant of the Prophetic household? There were reports in a Morrocan newspaper that the Queen of England is from this lineage.

 

Question 4 (21:37): Is following a Madhab a point of Aqida? If somebody denies the necessity of following a Madhab (for other than a mujtahid mutlaq) does this cause such a person to fall outside of the parameters of Ahlusunna?

 

Question 5 (39:11): Does reciting salawat in a language other than Arabic (English, Urdu etc) count and earn reward for the reciter? And how about if salawat is recited in the mind but not the tongue?

 

Question 6 (43:53): How do we understand some Awliya of the past narrating fabricated Hadiths in their books?

 

Question 7 (49:35): Is the Burda Shareef which was given to Sayiduna Ka'b bin Zuhayr still around in the world today? Question 8 (52:30): Who is the Mujaddid of this century? Is this year or next year the beginning of a new century? Question 9 (55:34): You had mentioned that even if one goes to a trained professional they will give herbs etc first and then as a last resort, perform hijama. Can you please explain if the person is going just for hijama because of maintenance only then why can’t he/she directly get hijama all the time? Question 10 (58:20): ​Is it necessary to follow a madhabb, and if so, what would be the opinions on those who call themselves "Ahl al-Hadith" and of the Dhahiri madhabb?
