wait, do bad leaders/politics count as public sin? if i talk about politics and bad decision making etc just for conversation is that ok cause technically they stole some peoples rights but maybe not directly mine, or does it count as sinning ?
thank you to anyone who answers i would really like to know!

I think the image that appears at the beginning of this video is inappropriate as it gives the impression of being soft-core porn.

Is it haram to refer to the global elite – the manipulators of this world – as Jews? F.ex on social media?

Asalaamualaikum sheikh. I’m from Toronto and I’ve called Preston mosque in hopes of asking you a question, but I guess you weren’t there that day. My question is, how should u behave with a cousin (girl) (I’m a girl too) who has made a joke about doing sihr on me. She’s had a history of being jealous of me and there is always a little truth behind every joke if not most. I’ve even tried to reconcile almost right after I called her out for it. She called me “fake?” I came to her with open arms and said “you’re my sister in Islam I forgive you” maybe because she’s a narcissist that’s why she was projecting herself onto me and called me fake

Thank you. We would like to request an episode about lying — its causes, remedies, and the ultimate fate of a liar.

You mentioned that avoid gatherings that do gossips. In my case my mother & my sisters like to gossip & also do slanders. They like to make up stories which are totally not true. I have been trying to avoid there gatherings (I still see them once a month or on important events like someone getting married, birthdays, if someone is sick etc) and whenever I go in those gatherings I leave early. They have speculated about me that I want to break the relationship with some and I want to kick them out of their life. I mentioned that I want to change I don't want gheebat or slander in my life. They do not believe me and say but you used to do it before. I have mentioned yes but Allah gives hidayat and they should stop too. They have now blamed my wife without any reason that she is the one stopping me from talking to my family but in face she has nothing to do with it and it is actually the deen that is stopping me to do this. The process was a cycle basically which I broke. My mother used to gossip & slander about me and wife to my sisters. after that those sisters would call me and I had to clarify myself that I did not do that or that did not happen. When I would ask my mother that why she said that she would deny or if it was obvious for example she told everyone that I want my parents to work in the old age. When I asked when did I say that then she said you were talking about the founder of KFC one day who at the age of 66 decided to work on his business and grew his business so you were pointing to us. To put a brake to it I once decided that I will not talk on the phone when only one person is talking to me because then the other one who is basically doing gheebat or slander about me will deny later. I will only talk during the actual in person gatherings when everyone is present.

What do you think if it is your own family and how to deal with it? I do not expect an answer directly from Shaikh Belal Assad but if anyone is reading this and has insights & knowledge about this please let me know.
