Sunnipath.com

Assalamualaykum,

i use muftisays.com frequently but i just wanted to know whether sunnipath.com/ are reliable scholars because i have come across this site alot and i dont know if their aqeedah is right, looking t the scholars part of it.

jazakallah

wassalam

AlhumduliLlah, they are reliable. I have used their question & answer service before and have taken a number of classes with them. Masha'Allah, the amount of knowledge you gain can't be put into words.

Are they the light issues that they differ on? Or it maybe rare cases?

However this one confused me a bit :-

You couId argue that to some the beard gets in the way of dawah, and prehaps aIso to some wearing of scarfs even aIso jiIbabs and mens jubbah as they aII protray (nowadays anyway) some kind of extermist ideoIogy so do we get rid of these aIso if peopIe in the west see them as threatening or to some a barrier to dawah. ??

The following question is similar to the above but about Music. It's the answer that i'm looking at, would it differ to the answer given on sunnipath? Meaning the angle of it

Some of the Questions are answered by Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Kellar. I read the following information on the Ask Imam site which may explain the slight differences:

"5. To the best of our knowledge, both Shaikh Nuh and Shaikh Hamza in Aqaid follow the Ashari School, which are part of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah. We do differ with them in beliefs slightly, as some of the beliefs propounded by the students of Shaikh Nuh are taken by our Ulama to be those of the Ahle Bidah. Nevertheless, both these scholars are part of the mainstream Sunnis in their beliefs to the best of our knowledge."

Sunnipath is excellent. Yes there are differences of opinion betwwen ulama and this is something we should respect. The issue of niqab is an example of this difference of opinion. If you feel that the niqab must be worn, this is one thing, but you should not condemn those who diifer with you.

Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari states in the above answer

"Some contemporary scholars have a more lenient approach to this issue, especially in the West. However, my understanding is (according to what I have learnt from my teachers) that a woman is required to cover her face even in the west except in dire situations."

As you can see the respected Mufti acknowledged that some ulama differ on this and then went on to give his opinion on the issue.

Just as there were 'Umars' and 'Abu Bakrs' in the time of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), so are there today.

We do not doubt the sincerity of the ulama; may Allah guide us all onto the straight path and protect us from the fire of jahannum.
Aameen.

Yes we do accept the differences Alhamdulillah. I think brother daywalker and my main concerns were the confusions of those who read it. The same web site having differences we can understand, but relating to one another and also justifying one another would help those with less knowledge so they don't get confused.

Remember, we totally respect the Ulamaa on that web site, we respect their views and their answers. However, the methods can be pointed at a little if it confuses anyone. So please don't take what was said in the earlier posts negative.

Also, Jazakallah 'layman' for that post. It's helpful.

Wassalam
