Questions:

1. If someone claims to be upon Salafiyyah but all of their friends are not upon Salafiyyah or are from masājid that are not upon Salafiyyah, do we say they are the same as their friends regardless of what they claim?

2. What is the response to those who are lenient with having speakers like Da’wah Man, ‘Alī Da’wah, Akhī Ayman and those similar to them? They use the excuse that they are good for new Muslims, that they may hear and return to the prayer.

3. Is it allowed for the one who fears he will miss Fajr to combine Maghrib and ‘Ishā at home alone in the summer when ‘Ishā is late in the night?

4. How do you reconcile between the narrations of the virtues of the Ṣaḥābah and the ḥadīth regarding the time that will come when holding on to the religion will be like holding on to hot coals and whomsoever holds on in that time will get fifty times the reward of the Ṣaḥābah?

5. What advice can you give with regard to brotherhood and sisterhood and how to avoid shayṭān from coming in between us?
