The inheritors have been given the authority to decide many times what *qualifies* to be haram and what does not
------------
In saheeh Muslim, Imam Bukhari brings a powerful statement of Imam Layth (ibn sa`d)
وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ وَكَانَ الَّذِي نُهِيَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ مَا لَوْ نَظَرَ فِيهِ ذَوُو الْفَهْمِ بِالْحَلاَلِ وَالْحَرَامِ لَمْ يُجِيزُوهُ، لِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمُخَاطَرَةِ.
If those (i.e. scholars) who have discernment for distinguishing what is Halal from what is Haraam looked into what has been forbidden concerning this matter (of these land renting practice) they would NOT PERMIT IT, for it is surrounded with dangers."
Some lessons we learn from this short statement by an Imam (not some bakr or zaid)
-------------
1. Shari`ah has given the authority to the scholars to deem something which is permissible and something which isn't in not all but many matters which are grey areas
2. The principle of sadd ad-dara'i i.e. blocking the means to avoid falling into bigger sin or simply a sin is also learnt from this statement {{ for it is surrounded with dangers}} . So something that leads to sin and has more harm than benefit then the scholars can deem it unlawful such as the use of qur'anic taweezat today in our era.
3. The importance of having the specific realm of `ilm pertaining to a particular subject such as this. A scholar may be a scholar of arabic language only but not in terms of other genre of islamic studies so his fatwa is not to be taken . Likewise on the grading of ahadeeth, only the muhadditheen hold the final authority
4. The usage of analogy i.e. qiyas from the statement {{if they looked or compared from what has been said regarding these types of acts}} . Imam Layth ibn sa`ad's statement is verified also from the very hadeeth in which the questioner questions the taba`ee ar-rafi` about a new issue which he didn't have an answer to except via analogy using his ijtihad.
5. The importance of the scholarly statements and fatawa and their understanding is also proven from the fact that Imam bukhari brought this statement in his saheeh even when he doesn't do this often . But on such issues the scholars authority , their understanding are foremost to refer to.
We study and ponder over ahadith to fully benefit from the prophetic knowledge transmitted to humanity in the form of traditions through Salaf's Fahm (Understanding)

Refuting the claim that Prophet saw Allah on meraj or with his eyes
Table of contents :
1 Analysing the claim that the prophet (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) saw Allah s.w.t in the night of Me`raj (and how)
2- Analysing The claim that the prophet (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) saw Allah in a dream
3- Analysing the claim if anyone can see Allah s.w.t in this world
Translated from the research article of Shaykh Ghulam Mustafa Zaheer . Please note this is a very quick attempted translation and not a perfect word to word one, nevertheless both the statements and the context are intact as the author meant it. The shaykh begins with :
There are three stances on this
1) Did the prophet (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) see Allah s.w.t in the night of Me`raj?
2) Did the prophet (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) see Allah in/via a dream?
3) Can we see Allah s.w.t in this earth (that is during our life time or such)?

Loud Adhkar during the Funeral procession is an Innovation - Shaykh Ghulam Mustafa Zaheer
This article is summarized , abridged and translated from the actual work of Shakh Ghulam Mustafa Zaheer hafidhahullah and an idiomatic translation is used.
The practise of reciting Qur`an, or some dhikr and tasbeehat either afront or behind the funeral procession is not proven at all . Not from the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) , not from the Sahaaba, the Taba`een, the 4 Imams or the salafus saliheen. This is thus a bid`ah
This is contrary to making du`a for the deceased. So do not confuse the two please.
Imam at-tahawi al-Hanafi rahimahullah says :
ولا یرفع صوتہ بالقرائۃ ولا بالذّکر، ولا یغتر بکثرۃ من یفعل ذلک، وامّا ما یفعلہ الجھّال فی القرائۃ علی الجنازۃ من رفع الصّوت و التّمطیط فیہ فلا یجوز بالاجماع، ولا یسع أحدا یقدر علی انکارہ أن یسکت عنہ ولا ینکر علیہ، وعلیھم الصّمت و نحو ذلک کالأذکار المتعارفۃ بدعۃ قبیحۃ.
And do not raise your voices with the qir'aat and adhkaar you indulge in (during the funeral processions) and do not be deceived by the great numbers of those who do these (acts). [1] As for what the ignorants do by raising their voice in the qir'aat during the funerals and elongating it then this is not permissible with the consensus which no one has the audacity or power to oppose . So be silent and do not deny (that it is haraam). Upon the people is to remain silent (or make du`a in their heart) and to indulge in adhkaar like this is a disgusting innovation
[Ref: Haashiya at-tahawiyyah 332]
[1] a proof that majority is not always on the haq

The Authority of Khabar Wahid and refutation of those who oppose it
Bismillah was-salatu was-salaam `ala rasoolAllah , `Amma Ba`d :
Depending on the number of the reporters of the hadeeth in each stage of the isnad, i.e. in each generation of reporters, it can be classified into the general categories of Mutawatir (consecutive) or Ahad (single) hadeeth. Sometimes an ahad route may also be varied depending on the type of transmission as it comes in Ma`rifah Uloom of Imam Hakim and others that even the sole transmission of one town from another town falls into ahad category at times. Ahad narrations are sub-divided into many types such as `Azeez, Mashoor, ghareeb and so on. Each again branching into some more types. But the general definition would be that a report that does not reach the level of tawatur is usually called as khabar-ahad. To those who don't understand this should first study the books of Mustalahal-Hadeeth
Now this topic should be read such that the view points of both sides of the salaf be known. Those who accept the authority of khabarul wahid and those who restrict it in `aqeedah. Usually while discussing this topic the scholars also quote a huge number of narrations describing the importance of a prophetic tradition. I have skipped that (except very few) and focused on translating and compiling narrations that discuss the issue of mutawatir vs ahad in regards to `aqeedah. This is to convey the jist of the information in a short quick way and also keep it brief. I begin with what

A Principle of Fiqh : Specific command is enforced upon the General Command
This is one of the principles of this deen, among the Usool al-Fiqh that a command or instruction that specifies something extra is imposed upon a general command that does not specify that "Extra" bit. Lack of the basic Islamic principles and sciences, causes many western Muslims or Liberal and Ignorant Muslims to directly utter blasphemous words in order to paint a nice picture in front of the western sources or they eventually use the wrong ways to explain the right things. Awareness of such principles help avoid both
1) humiliation in the after life in front of Allah for speaking, passing a comment and judging without knowledge
2) helps answer about Islam in an appropriate manner
In the following examples, i will first quote that passage which reflects a general command, statement, instruction, etc and then follow it with a Specific command, statement, instruction etc. that adds an exemption or adds an exclusion to the above general command.

Ikhtasar Uloom al-Hadeeth of Ibn Katheer - English Translation Part 1
By the will and blessing of Allah, this is a project wherein i intend to translate the Ikhtisaar Uloom al-Hadeeth of Imam Ibn Katheer al-Quraishi rahimahullah with the tahkeeq and tarjuma of Hafidh al-Muhaddith Zubayr `Ali Zaee rahimahullah . I will also be adding references, certain athaar along with the comments of shaykh zubayr r.h because sometimes i find it necessary to add some more or variant athar so as to add emphasis to assert a certain benifit.
I am not a professional translator, so I will try my best to translate it in a way that is easy to understand by the English speaking community making the translation in a summarized way as and when required for easy understanding as well as ensure that the text retains the original Intended meaning (and does not drift away from it). I will publish the translation in small parts so people can read it easily and quickly instead of becoming lazy seeing the lengthy multi-page translation . I am sure there will be many mistakes so
رحم الله امرأ أهدى إلي عيوبي
May Allah have mercy on the man who shows me my faults
[Ref: A statement attributed to `Umar radhiallahu anhu in Sunan ad-Darimee 1/506 or 1/166 or # 675 with a weak chain and Ahmad Shaakir (ed.), ar-Risalah of ash-Shaf`ee, P: 73 footnote no. 8 See Dr. Muhammad Adhmi’s book titled “ The history of the quranic text page 20 “]
There are many instances in such technical science books wherein the arabic words cannot be translated to English and even if attempted, it does not fulfil the complete meaning intended by the author. In such instances i will retain the Arabic terms and sometimes translate it depending on the context .

THE VALIDITY USAGE OF MORE THAN MERELY HARSH AND INSULTING WORDS & GESTURES WHEN APT
In Defense of Shaykh Waseeullah `Abbas hafidhahullah and the term 'Ennuch' used by him
----------------
I am not defending the usage of that word for Mufti menk but i am drafting this note to counter those who are making a mountain of a mole. Some sufis and especially deobandhis and barelvis are using this opportunity to hit back at salafis and what not totally forgetting that their scholars books are filled with (excuse me) pornographic and what's worse is shirkiyah and blasphemous comments against Allah and his Messenger such as
and much more. They think blasphemy and shirkiyah statements are less "disgusting" than the term "enuch" used by Shaykh waseeullah `abbas that too in a general comparative tone and not in particular against Mufti Menk. [As he clarified yesterday]
So you see hanfis using this term against the shaykh while they have more serious blasphemous issues from their own hanfi scholars that they need to ridicule and mock instead of someone who calls towards the tawheed of Allah and against hijacking the deen (bid`ah).
I begin with the statement wherein The prophet sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam said
"Overlook the slips of respected people.” [Ref: Adab al-Mufrad]
A) Harsh and insulting words and phrases used by Allah - some that are infinite times more offensive than "enuch"

Musnad Rabi ibn Habeeb is not authentically established
مـسـنـد الإمـام الـربـيـع بن حـبـيـب و كـتـاب الـجـامـع لإبن بـركـة، دراسـة مـقـارنـة
Note: Those who aren't well versed and grounded with the `Aqeedah and basics of Islam should not go to their websites lest they deviate or shaytaan infiltrate their heart with doubts. The Khawarij are a deviant sect and all of it's descendents are dangerous for a Muslim. You can see from their speech here how different they are from the mainstream Muslims even in the way they speak and the way they quote from whom they quote : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAOkrQCT3Jc.

IJMAA OF EVERY ERA IS A HUJJAH
tfahmAssalamu `alaykum. Lately i've been coming across some really weird principles and new notions which are widespread among some groups and brothers. Though this opinion is held by some dhahiree scholars (even which is arguable as to what exactly they mean as they seem to believe in ijmaa` but say it is not authentically established after the sahaaba and they also seem to take ittefaq as a hujjah- nevertheless) , this is in contrast to the majority a very odd opinion. And likewise In my last two articles i tried to keep it short and refute similar odd notions
1) those who deny ahl adh-dhikr from being `Ulema "as well"
Link: http://fahmalhadeeth.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-scholars-are-ahl-dhikr.html
2) those who accuse the Muhadditheen of concocting every single usool.
Link: http://fahmalhadeeth.blogspot.com/2014/12/defending-muhadditheen-from-forging.html
This article is a similar small effort to explain that After Qur`an was-Sunnah - Ijmaa` is the biggest of hujjah. So much so that many of the past scholars ; in fact a very large group of them said that even in the face of a khabar ul-waahid (a type of hadeeth) or a dhanni or ikhtalaafi hadeeth- Ijmaa` takes precedence
Note: All translations are rough but retaining the context of the quotes of scholars and i haven't inserted the `arabic script to keep it short . This compilation is a mixture of my notes , study and fatawa of Shaykh Zubayr `Ali Zai rahimahullah found in Maqalat 5 and Shaykh Fawzan hafidhahullah
I will not go into the defintion, the differences in it and etc. This is for the Muslims who don't put their thinking and intellect above the Ahlus sunnah of 14 centuries and accept Ijmaa` as a proof to some era atleast. As for those who don't accept it at all then they are from the deviated individuals about whom the prophet sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam said :
And some of the salaf have made takfeer upon such a man , as will be shown below. So in this article i am directly going to jump to showing the validity and hujjah of ijmaa` in every era biidhnillahi ta`ala .

".....that whoever opposes the jama`ah then kill him [Saheeh Muslim]
and Ibn Hajar Asqalani rahimahullah explained that
"...a denier of Ijmaa` is included in the one who seperates the jama`ah"

And some of the salaf have made takfeer upon such a man , as will be shown below. So in this article i am directly going to jump to showing the validity and hujjah of ijmaa` in every era biidhnillahi ta`ala .

THE SCHOLARS ARE AHL DHIKR
This is a very quick brief compilation, quoting some of the muffassireen and grand `Ulema of the Muslims Ummah of different backgrounds who have used and understood the term Ahl-Dhikr in the verse " so ask the people of dhikr..." to mean or imply as `ulema or scholars .
Now the topic of the obligation of studying under scholars or their virtues and the multitudes of qur`anic verses in this regards have been addressed or compiled here in both English and Urdu along with Arabic quotes.
Link: http://the-finalrevelation.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-obligation-and-importance-of.html
Likewise , a detailed article warning and refuting the people from self interpreting this deen in any way whatsoever has also been drafted here:
Link: http://the-finalrevelation.blogspot.com/2014/02/warning-from-self-interpretation-of.html
So this article will only quickly share quotes with rough or no translation for students to understand that Ahl dhikr ALSO means `Ulema (as some brothers belonging to certain fan clubs of Mawdudi or others seem to deny)
Firstly a quick brief comprehensive explanation of the verse " so ask the people of dhikr ..if you do not know"
the below passage in short explains that there are various opinions among the salaf with regards to this verse and can be divided into two main groups
1- who say ahl dhikr here in "accordance" to the asbaab an-nuzool (causes for the revelation of this aya) are the jews and christians . (this is further divided into the believers among the jews and christians and so on and so forth) and they also do not deny that ahl dhikr also means scholars
2- the other party says this means both the above one as well as scholars.
تفاسير بعض السلف لأهل الذكر أنهم أهل الكتاب أي أهل التوارة والإنجيل ، وهم العلماء بها وبما فيها لأن المقصود من السؤال وهو الجواب لا يتحقق إلا منهم دون سائر أهل الكتاب .
وهذا تفسير ابن عباس ، وتلميذه مجاهد بن جبر ، وسياق الآيات يساعدهم على اختيار هذا القول فيما يبدو لي .
وعبدالرحمن بن زيد بن أسلم يذهب إلى أن أهل الذكر هم علماء المسلمين ، حيث قال : نحن أهل الذكر ، ثم استشهد لصحة تفسيره بقوله تعالى : إِنَّا نَحْنُ نزلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ) وقرأ( إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِالذِّكْرِ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ ) ... الآية. وذهب كثير من المفسرين المتأخرين إلى هذا القول .
لكن الآيتان مكيتان ، وقريش لن تصدق المسلمين فيما يقولون لو سألوهم وأجابوهم ، فالذي يظهر أن قول ابن عباس ومجاهد هو الصحيح في تفسير هذه الآية . وهو أن المقصود بأهل الذكر هم علماء أهل الكتب السابقة .
غير أنه يصح الاستدلال بهذه الآية على أن أهل العلم بعلمٍ من العلوم يجب أن يرجع إليهم في ذلك العلم ، وهي من هذا الوجه أشبه بقاعدة قرآنية ، لكن السؤال عن المقصود بها في هذه الآية ابتداءً عندما خوطب به قريش حين نزوله والله أعلم .
وقد كتبت هذا دون مراجعة للتفاسير على سبيل المدارسة .

Now the topic of the obligation of studying under scholars or their virtues and the multitudes of qur`anic verses in this regards have been addressed or compiled here in both English and Urdu along with Arabic quotes.

Likewise , a detailed article warning and refuting the people from self interpreting this deen in any way whatsoever has also been drafted here:

So this article will only quickly share quotes with rough or no translation for students to understand that Ahl dhikr ALSO means `Ulema (as some brothers belonging to certain fan clubs of Mawdudi or others seem to deny)
Firstly a quick brief comprehensive explanation of the verse " so ask the people of dhikr ..if you do not know"
the below passage in short explains that there are various opinions among the salaf with regards to this verse and can be divided into two main groups
1- who say ahl dhikr here in "accordance" to the asbaab an-nuzool (causes for the revelation of this aya) are the jews and christians . (this is further divided into the believers among the jews and christians and so on and so forth) and they also do not deny that ahl dhikr also means scholars
2- the other party says this means both the above one as well as scholars.
