L40 Hilyat Talib Al-Ilm - Explanation of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen Ustadh AbdulAziz Al-Haqqan
Q: If someone struggles with istinja'a and finds traces lingering after 20-30 minutes, can he just get up and do wudu?
The speaker reassures that most traces are non-existent and explains practical steps: use water (bidet) to cleanse quickly, and if in doubt, perform wudu confidently rather than hesitating for long; the guidance emphasizes avoiding waswas and trusting in Allah's help.
L24 Hilyat Talib Al-Ilm - Explanation of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen Ustadh AbdulAziz Al-Haqqan
Q: Taib, we have one question about late fees at a university and whether taking a loan with late penalties is permissible.
The speaker advises that one should clarify the exact terms (late fees versus usury) and, if it involves a loan with interest, it would be impermissible. If the issue is unrelated to usury (e.g., general university fees without interest), one should consult a knowledgeable faqih and consider the broader implications before deciding.
07 Explanation of the Six Principles πŸ“– Abu Mussab Wajdi Akkari
Q: What is the ruling on taqlid versus ishtihad in urgent matters?
Taqlid is allowed in emergencies when one cannot consult or research; otherwise, one should strive to exercise ishtihad or follow the strongest available, well-researched opinion.
07 Explanation of the Six Principles πŸ“– Abu Mussab Wajdi Akkari
