No father with grown daughters, or even a brother with many sisters, or any woman who hopes to marry one day, would find it acceptable or reasonable to hear a fatwa suggesting that a woman can be entered into a temporary marriage while the man knows from the outset that he intends to leave after a fixed period, even as she genuinely believes she is entering a lifelong union with the man she loves.
Such an arrangement is the height of deception and injustice; qualities that Islam does not endorse. Marriage in Islam is founded on honesty, trust, commitment, & mutual rights and responsibilities, not concealment or exploitation.
If a man can afford to travel abroad for business, then he can also afford to take his wife with him. If circumstances prevent her from traveling; perhaps because she must remain home to care for their children, and he genuinely believes he needs companionship during extended trips, then he has lawful alternatives within Islam, such as marrying a second wife openly and permanently, with all the rights and responsibilities that such a marriage entails.
Islam is a religion of justice, fairness, and dignity for both men and women. Any interpretation or practice that undermines these principles deserves careful scrutiny.

Arewa is facing mass kidnappings across multiple states and severe system failures, yet Arewa twitter is obsessed with the usual extra-marital iskanci of elites. What's the point of having elections? People are not ready.
Arewa, we cannot afford to look away. While distractions fill the air, our people are still being killed, kidnapped, and pushed deeper into fear every single day. Those entrusted with power continue to loot, neglect, and fail us without accountability.
This is no longer just frustration, it is a call to action. Our silence only strengthens the system that keeps us suffering. We must rise above division, stand united, and demand leadership that protects lives and serves the people.
The power we have is our voice and our vote. Please get your PVC. Participate. Hold leaders accountable. Together, we can reshape our future and build a North and a nation that works for all of us.
What a remarkable speaker! I just finished listening the Sheikh Guruntum's Muhadara on Sheikh Triump.
Sheikh Guruntum is a gem of knowledge in our era. Jazakallah bi khair, ya Malam!
In Hausa there is a thing called rufin asiri, Idan Allah ya rufa maka asiri toh Alhamdulillah.
You leave people wondering how and why you are able to do things, truth is...one of the best things Allah can bless you with is to not look like your problems
Advice from His Excellency the President of Religious Affairs, Sheikh Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, to the Muslim Ummah on the Occasion of Eid al-Fitr
“Fasting six days of Shawwal”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted the whole year.”
[Reported by Muslim]
Continue doing righteous deeds with consistency, for the true believer’s work does not end with Ramadan. Allah Almighty says:
“And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (i.e., death).”
[Surah Al-Hijr: 99]
Be kind, show mercy, maintain ties, and spread joy — celebrate Eid with happiness, seeking nearness to your Lord through what pleases Him.
As for the Takbeer (proclamation of greatness of Allah):
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah,
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahil hamd.
(Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no deity but Allah.
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise.)
Allah is the Greatest, and much praise is due to Him. Glory be to Allah morning and evening.
