Contracts are probably one of the hardest areas of fiqh, given the nature and complexity of certain deals. My advice to students of fiqh who want an in-depth, Islamic understanding of contracts β¦

A new problem has emerged online: students who want to study with scholars while remaining anonymous. Sitting in on an open lesson and benefiting from it has always been fine without anyone checking who you are, that was never the issue. But being counted as someone's student, or receiving their ijaza, is a different relationship, and it has never rested on anonymity.

Why are mermaids mentioned in books of Fiqh if there have never been any proven cases of them?
Books of Fiqh were never designed to be read off the shelf by people with no prior training in the school and its principles. Without that firm grounding, the text sits completely stripped of context. In fact, an untrained reader will almost certainly supply their own context, misconstruing deliβ¦

These were mental stress-tests, built on the conviction that Allah's religion is complete, meaning there had to be an answer for everything that could conceivably happen until the Day of Judgment, whether that answer came directly from the Quran and Sunnah, β¦

Those whose job it is to listen to people's problems are forced to carry the emotions of others without ever having walked in their shoes. I remember reading about this issue in Fiona Murdenβs book, Mirror Thinking. Doctors and nurses are at the highest risk for emotional empathy burnout due to the relentless nature of their daily work. Studies have shown that theβ¦

"When metaphor falls from the hand of knowledge into the hand of ignorance, it turns into literal truth ('reality') and opens the door to superstitions."
Beautifully sums up the problem with the crisis of lack of breadth and depth in understanding linguistic expressions in the Quran and Sunnah.
