Fathwa, - Meaning of Wallaahi, Billaahi and Tallaahi

Question
Es selamu alejkum May Allah reward you for your work. I want you to
ask you, what does the word ''Wallahi Billahi Tallahi'' means? Thank
you for the answer.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
The three words have different meanings depending on their context in
speech. They may be said and mean swearing by Allaah, because the
Arabic letters Waaw, Baa'a, Taa'a are used for swearing, so if a
person says Wallaahi, Billaahi, or Tallaahi, it means that he swears
by Allaah or makes an oath by Allaah.
On the other hand, if the word "Allaah" is preceded by the letter Waaw
or Baa'a, then it could mean other than swearing. For example, if
someone says "Ista'antu Billaah", i.e. I seek help from Allaah, then
the letter Baa'a here is for seeking help.
Likewise, the letter Waaw could mean Ist'inaaf )i.e. to indicate
beginning a new sentence to make a different point(; like the saying
of Allaah "Wallaahu Rau'oofun Bil Ibaad" )which means(: }And Allaah is
Kind to ]His[ servants.{]Quran 2:207[
As regards the letter Taa'a, if it is added to the word "Allaah", it
only means swearing by Allaah.

Fathwa, - Position of hands duringdua and if it is sunna to recite Al-Faatihah when commencing a circle of knowledge

Question
Bismillahi rahmani raheem, Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa
barakatuh, I would like to ask you the following questions regarding a
custome I witnessed in a womens doroos circle in my city in a european
country. When they start their circle one of the women )they take
turns to include everyone in this custom( recites al fatiha- whilst
reciting all the women present put their hands as in dua but keeps
their hands in their lap- after reciting everyone wipes their faces
and then the dars begins. Im familiar with a lot of the benefits of
al-fatiha, alhamdulillah- as this was one of the arguments used when I
confronted them about this. Another argument I was presented from them
is this fatwa http://www.islamweb.ne t/emainpage
/index.php?page=showfa twa&Option=FatwaId& Id=82584 . I dont doubt
their intentions to do good. But my question is if doing this is known
from the sunnah? Do you hold it to be permissible?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
The scholars of the Salaf )righteous predecessors( were not used to
reciting Chapter Al-Faatihah when commencing a circle of knowledge.
Therefore, doing this regularly turns this act into )what is called(
an added innovation. In principle, reciting the Quran is permissible
but specifying a given Chapter at a given time that is not specified
in the Sharee'ah )Islamic law( is something that should not be done.
'Aa'ishahnarrated that the Prophetsaid: "Whoever introduces into this
matter of ours )Islam( that which is not part of it, it will be
rejected." ]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
As regards the Fatwa which you referred to in the question, it is
about concluding a supplication with Takbeer )saying Allaahu Akbar(
and we clarified that this is also a religious innovation. We have
also clarified in this Fatwa –and probably this is what you mean –the
matter of wiping the face with the hands after supplicating and we
mentioned that this is permissible and we stated the evidence. Some
scholars –like Ibn Hajar–classified the Hadeeth about wiping the face
after supplicating as Hasan ]good[. Therefore, this is one issue and
what you mentioned in the question is another completely different
issue.

Fathwa, - Assigning a supplication to every daily obligatory prayer

Question
Assalamu 'alaikum I read in a book about specific dua after each
prayer of fajr,dhuhr,asr etc.,but I havenot come across such dua
anywhere,so please tell me if it is correct to say these duas after
each prayer and if the Prophet)peace be upon him( said these.If we do
what was not taught by the Prophet,it would be rejected,right?pls
answer.May Allah reward you.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
There is nothing reported from the Prophetwith this meaning, and it is
not permissible to say these supplications as they are included in the
secondary innovations )i.e. the innovations where the basis of worship
is permitted but there is some change with regard to its reason, type,
amount, manner, time and place(, but if the meaning of these
supplications is good, and a praying person says them sometimes
without believing that they are a Sunnah, then this is permissible
because the supplication after performing obligatory prayers is, in
principle, among the legislated matters.

Fathwa, - A brother recently said to me "You are lying", but I was not lying. Have I been wrong

Question:
A brother recently said to me "You are lying", but I was not lying.
Have I been wronged? Or is this solely between him and Allah?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate
May Allah's peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad, his
folk, companions, and followers
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
This would really depend on the situation and circumstances. He may
have reason to have thought you were in error; or he may have made an
error in judgment; or he may simply be wrong. In any case, we don't
impute ill-intent in the actions of other, even when these are against
us. Rather, we try to understand their actions in the best light, and
to be fair. Allah Most High says,
"O you who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in fairness, and
let not enmity of any people lead you not to act justly. Deal justly,
that is nearer to piety. Be pious of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Informed
of what you do." [Qur'an, 5.8]
In terms of dealing with the brother in question, it would be best to
sit down and discuss the matter with him, in a spirit of brotherhood,
and in order to come to understanding--not to argue your point and
seek "your" rights, but rather to mend relations and move on. Allah
Most High says,
"The believers are but brethren, so mend relationships between your
brethren. Be pious of Allah, that you may obtain mercy." [Qur'an,
49.10]
And Allah alone gives success.
