Unlike the Mu’tazilah, the Ahlus-Sunnah accepts the lone-narrated reports that are authentic. ‘Alī Al-Qāri records the ijmā’ of the Sahābah and Tābi’īs on this point (Sharh, 209).

Question:

Why  did the scholars who follow madhab allow acting on weak hadith? Isn't this a gross innovation?

The magical effect that a smile has on others is well-known. Allaah The Almighty created mankind with an innate inclination to love those who are friendly. A person who meets others with a smile drives away their anxiety and troubles and spreads tranquility and comfort. This is because smiling is a commendable characteristic, and the one who smiles is complimented.

By Mawlana Muhammad Yunus Jonpuri / 04 Mar 2014

Musafahah literally means to join a hand with another hand. This can be done with both hands or with just one.

Those who claim that it is sunnah to do musafahah with one hand should themselves produce a hadith in which [doing musafahah with] one hand is clearly mentioned. In fact, this is not enough. They should additionally prove that there exists a prohibition of performing musafahah with both hands. Without these two things, their claim cannot be substantiated.

Number 7 is also very frequent in the Prophetic narrations. Take for example the narration in which the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, defined the number of major sins to be seven.

The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, said: "Avoid the seven great destructive sins." (Al-Bukhaari and Muslim)

When should the muqtadis [1] stand up for salah in congregation? Should they stand before the iqamah begins, when the iqamah begins or when the words hayya ‘ala al-falah are reached?

The answer to this question lies in the practice of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) and the Noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).

No other religion or institution gives as much importance to knowledge as the religion of Islam.  The religion has made seeking knowledge incumbent upon all Muslims and has deemed that not doing so as a sin.  The Prophet, may Allah praise him, said in an authentic narration (hadeeth):

“Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
