Serious problem at MS

Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

First Request:

I am getting seriously alarmed at the Islamic understanding of our noble Sisters online (SF and now MS). It is clear that these Sisters are seeking Islamic opinions from people who have NO CLUE on how to advise them.

I Masha'Allah trusted Sister UmHasan on SF as she was a Scholar but SF is now gone.

MS has a policy of letting only Islamic Scholars answer question which is good and right but THEN there are no actual Scholars answering questions so these Sisters are obviously being advised by some Do-doos because they have no other venues to turn to.

MS should either:

1. Bring Islamic Scholars to answer questions no matter how silly the queries may be
2. OR Reverse this policy as it can't be implemented and it seems to be harming people rather then benefitting

Shura is requested to take a serious look at the picture, here.

A lot of these Sisters probably have no access to (local) Ulamah so Internet is their only way out and just because they are turned away from MS, doesn't mean that they don't access to others on email, whatsapp, facebook etc who are clueless individuals but given legitimacy by association with some Shaykh or whatever.

Second Request:

I will tell you later... :P

Jazakallahu Khayran

You making assumptions that people know how to navigate around the web and use Search.

Not a lot of good in a policy which can't be implemented. There is no point in giving options which don't exist.

You misunderstand me, Maulana.

I mean the policy of directing question to the Ulamah can't be fulfilled because due to a huge queue and delay people can't get them answered.

1. So the policy should be REVERSED
2. OR kept (rightly so) but the options to direct people revaluated with genuine credible verified options and not just there are plenty of Ulamah who can answer sort of general response

Because the intent behind the policy is good and noble but practically people are being left in a lurch OR made to make choices on their own.

If there is a problem then put a workaround in place (with Ulamah) until a proper redirection could be implemented. Have a word with few Ulamah whom you trust and direct queries to them, if there are plenty of Ulamah then seeking an amicable agreements with some shouldn't be hard and if you can't reach it then what hope have the laymen got?

Forget SF and what happened or didn't happen. In fact many worst things happened there and that's one of the reasons the forum was shut down so lets not kid overselves about the smug superior SF attitude (and I am not saying it out of spite as I know both groups) but I digress. 

I just mentioned SF as a starting point.

Sister UmHasan is a good person and if we need to get her over here then lets contact her husband and convey our request but she is Masha'Allah an intelligent Muslimah and she probably already knows about MS.
