Shaykh al Islām Ibn Taymiyyah began issuing fatāwa (legal verdicts) only at the tender age of 17. “How can this be possible?” one may say.
Allāma Ibn Nujaym al-Hanafī said:
“If a young person has memorized the narrations, is well-versed in dirāyah (understanding), fulfills his acts of worship properly, and keeps away from (evil) desires and doubtful matters, then it is permissible for him to give legal verdicts. A scholar, no matter how young he is, is great; and an ignorant person, no matter how old he is, is small.”

I haven’t seen Muslims rejoicing at Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain or Oman being attacked by Iran, despite ALL of them hosting U.S. military bases.
However, I am seeing Muslims, including Palestinians, rejoicing at the UAE being attacked by Iran.
Maybe, just maybe, this is why:
- The UAE is spearheading normalisation with Israel under the ‘Abraham Accords’.
https://t.co/hSCYGsU67L
- The UAE has destabilised and is fuelling secessionist civil wars and strife in Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan.

- The UAE provided military intelligence and support to Israel during the Gaza genocide.

For people saying #Khamenei was a Muslim, who we should mourn . Here are his books Insulting the sahaba.
It describes our masters ʿUmar, ʿUthmān, Ṭalḥah, al-Zubayr, Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ, and all the Companions as:
🚨 The statement inside the quotation marks is a complete fabrication intended to deceive the Muslims who don't understand Arabic. The Shaykh never made this statement.
Here is the video with English subtitles:
Prophet Mohammed (ﷺ) said about Jews & Christians: "They lied about their Prophets, Just as they DISTORTED their scriptures" (Mustadrak Al-hakim 7418 - Grade: Sahih (Authentic)
This kid thinks the Qur'an mentions his bible (4 GossipS and Books written by random unkown authors)
No wonder he Embarrasses himself everytime he talks to a Muslim
This post is dishonest and ignorant, both of Islamic law and history;
The Qur’anic foundation:
The Qur’an itself mentions a dog positively and neutrally, as a companion of the righteous:
“And their companion animal lay with its forelegs stretched at the entrance.”
(Qur’an 18:18)
Allah mentions the dog of the People of the Cave without condemnation, alongside believing youths whom He praises. Classical exegetes explain that the mention of the dog here is honourable by association, showing that even animals accompanying the righteous are included in Allah’s signs. This alone refutes the claim that Islam treats dogs as inherently vile.
The hadith about killing dogs: context, place, and reason
The hadith cited (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1570) relates to a specific situation in early Madinah:
•Wild, aggressive dogs
•Public health and safety risks
•Lack of sanitation and disease control
It was not a moral judgment on dogs as a species.
This is proven by later, authentic narrations in which the Prophet ﷺ restricted the command:
“If dogs were not a community among the communities, I would have ordered their killing. But kill only those that are harmful.”
(Sunan Abū Dāwūd, authenticated)
This establishes the final ruling in Islamic law:
•Dogs are a community of Allah’s creation
•Killing is permitted only for harm
•There is no general permission to kill dogs
Dogs in Masjid al-Nabawi;
There is an authentic report in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī that dogs used to enter the Prophet’s mosque:
“Dogs used to come and go in the mosque during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they would urinate there, and they would not sprinkle water over it.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī)
The Companions simply covered it with sand, which was the norm of the time. There was:
•No panic
•No violence
•No hatred
This narration is a major proof for Imām Mālik and the Mālikī school that dogs are not inherently impure, and that Islam does not treat their presence as something requiring hysteria or cruelty.
Dogs are explicitly permitted in Islamic law;
Islam permits keeping dogs for:
•Guarding
•Herding
•Hunting
The Qur’an itself affirms trained dogs for hunting:
“And what trained animals catch for you—eat from what they catch for you.”
(Qur’an 5:4)
This verse alone destroys the narrative that Islam is hostile to dogs.
Mercy to dogs is a means of salvation
The Prophet ﷺ taught that kindness to dogs is rewarded:
“A man was forgiven his sins because he gave water to a thirsty dog.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim)
And cruelty to animals leads to punishment:
“A woman entered Hell because she imprisoned a cat.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī)
These narrations are foundational in Islamic ethics.
The Maliki position;
Imām Mālik رحمه الله held that:
•Dogs are not intrinsically impure
•Their presence is not forbidden
•Many restrictions found in other schools are not absolute
This further exposes how far this polemic is from real Islamic jurisprudence.
The practice of the righteous: the Saint and Scholar, Ahmad al‑Rifaʿi;
Among the great scholars and saints of Islam, Imām Aḥmad al-Rifāʿī is well known for his exceptional mercy toward animals, including dogs.
Historical accounts from his students and biographers report that:
•He would personally care for dogs
•Feed them
•Tend to injured or sick animals
•And rebuke those who treated them harshly
These acts were understood as living the Prophetic teaching of mercy. Scholars cite him as an example of how spiritual excellence (iḥsān) manifests in compassion toward all of Allah’s creation.
The Prophet ﷺ said; “In every living being there is reward (for kindness).”

Under Emirati law it is a crime to defame Islam, the Quran and Prophet Muhammad.
@DubaiPoliceHQ@UAEmediaoffice should investigate if @TRobinsonNewEra broke these laws on X while in the UAE.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa visited the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus today, wearing the same clothes he wore on Liberation Day one year ago today.
“Syrians, obey me as long as I obey God among you.
By God, no matter how great the challenges, no one will stand in our way.
Together, we will face all difficulties, God willing.”
Ibn al-Qayyim on the Yahūd:
“Do the worshippers of rams and cows not feel shame criticising the people of tawhīd for their sins?
And do the descendants of the killers of the prophets not feel shame condemning those who strive against the enemies of God?”
