2. Are all types of trading ḥarām?
3. What do we say to those who say the real scholars are in prisons, and they accuse the scholars of today of being sellouts?
4. What should I do if I have warned against the usage of these beads for dhikr and I threw them away but my family buys them again and they get upset?
5. We call ourselves Salafī but never attend lessons in any Salafī masjid, can we still call ourselves Salafī?
6. What advice do you give to Salafī brothers and sisters who use Islamic nashīds on social media and make the excuse that they use “ḥalāl beats” and there is no music or bad lyrics?
