I feel secure from hypocrisy. When I think about it I think "no I am not a hypocrite" because I don't lie and break my promises. I feel safe in my heart and I don't feel worried about hypocrisy much at all. I do not feel scared that I am a hypocrite. I want to feel scared that I am a hypocrite but I don't! I have some traits of hypocrisy like not praying.. More

I wanted to ask about the following two scholars:
1) Abi Abdillah Muhammad bin Musa bin An-Nu‘man At-Timasani (d. 683H).
2.) Badr Ad-Deen Az-Zarkashi Ash-Shaafi‘i.

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh, Shaykhs. My father's brother does palm reading, believes in stars (that one has such-and-such qualities because they are born in such a period of such a month), does not pray, and does not pay zakah. Can I consider him a Muslim? Will I be sinful if I call him a Muslim? He has not been praying nor paying.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. Our factory runs 24 hours/day. So when our Eids come, we take a leave and our non-Muslim colleagues, they take our shifts. Similarly, when their Puja comes, they take a leave and we take their shifts. Is it allowed for us to do so? Or does this constitute helping in sin?

if I have a good opinion or appreciation about the intelligence, potential, talent, shining in life (study, job, other fields etc.) of a sinner who is a Muslim/disbeliever (male or female) while not liking their sins, is it enough to protect my faith?

Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I read your previous fatwas, and you claim that the polytheists of Makkah believed in Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Lordship)? We agree that believing that Allah has offspring amounts to Shirk (polytheism) in Ruboobiyyah, and the polytheists of Makkah believed angels to be the daughters of Allah, so why then do Wahabis/Salafis..
