• Drawing lots to decide which wife he begins with and which travels with him

• Murūʾah and custom in matters that are not forbidden

• Nushūz: admonishing, then boycotting in bed, then a light strike that leaves no mark

The Precise Verdicts on Deviant Methodologies: questions and answers on the Salafī methodology and the deviant groups, by Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā an-Najmī (raḥimahullāh), taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Question: the claim that scholars should not refute one another in these times

• Refutation is to clarify the truth, and the one refuted may be the first to benefit

• The false principle of excusing one another in what we differ over

• Is criticising someone who erred in manhaj considered backbiting?

• When speaking about another person is not forbidden: seeking a ruling, seeking help to change an evil, warning the Muslims

The Precise Verdicts on Deviant Methodologies: questions and answers on the Salafī methodology and the deviant groups, by Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā an-Najmī (raḥimahullāh), taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Recap: what Salafiyyah is, and that it has no single leader

• Question 4: is there an "old" Salafiyyah and a "new" Salafiyyah?

• "Wahhābiyyah" is a name invented by the enemies of the Salafī call

• al-Muwāzanah: the innovated principle of listing the good points of the people of innovation when warning against them

• The good qualities of the disbelievers do not benefit them alongside their disbelief

• The Messenger ﷺ warned against the people of desires without listing their good points

• When the promised mahr cannot be given, such as a slave whose owner refuses to sell him

• If the marriage ends because of the woman, she is not owed the mahr nor anything in its place

• If it ends because of the man, such as by divorce before consummation, she is owed half of the mahr

• The narration "whoever uncovers her head covering and looks at her, the mahr becomes obligatory", and the discussion around it

The Precise Verdicts on Deviant Methodologies: questions and answers on the Salafī methodology and the deviant groups, by Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā an-Najmī (raḥimahullāh), taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Opening of the book: selected questions and answers put to Shaykh Aḥmad an-Najmī on manhaj and the deviant groups

• The book as a revision of what was studied before, from al-Qawāʿid al-Arbaʿ to Kitāb al-Iʿtiṣām

• A brief biography of Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā an-Najmī

• What is manhaj, and what is Salafiyyah?

• Salafiyyah is a call revealed by Allāh: the Qurʾān and the Sunnah, with the Companions as the example

• Praying in places where innovation is found, and striving to be with the people of the Sunnah

• The mahr can be anything of value, small or large, "even a ring of iron"

• If the mahr turns out to be defective, such as perishable goods that cannot be eaten, she may take its value instead

• Wealth gained unlawfully cannot be given as a mahr or used in any transaction

• Why the rulings of divorce should be studied: not from a negative mindset, but in order to avoid it

Ramaḍān Reminders 1446H: nightly reminders after Tarāwīḥ, topics chosen from the speech of various scholars, taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Blameworthy companionship: sitting with the people of innovation

• Ibn ʿAbbās: "Do not sit with the people of desires, for sitting with them sickens the hearts"

• The scholars: sitting with them and praising them softens one's religion and corrupts the creed of the people

• Showing off (riyāʾ) and its cure, sincerity: "Actions are only by intentions"
