Allāh the Most High said in the Qurʾān:
قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالْإِثْمَ وَالْبَغْيَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَأَنْ تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَأَنْ تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
The meaning of which is:
Say: “(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al-Fawahish (great evil sins and every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allāh for which He has given no authority…

From the Mercy of Allāh is that He sent to us a messenger, as He says in Sūrah al-Anbiyāʾ, “and We have not sent you except as a mercy for the ‘Ālamin.” The Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was a person of great character and virtue. Allāh says in Sūrah al-Qalam, “And Verily, you are on an exalted (standard of character).”

What seems correct is that it was a Sunnah she learned from the Messenger – may Allāh raise his rank and grant him peace – to give the weight of the newborn’s (shaven) hair in silver.
Shaykh Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar Bāzmūl[Q]: I asked: Our shaykh! It has been reported that Fāṭimah – may Allāh be pleased with her – used to give charity (in silver) equal to the weight of her newborn’s hair after shaving it on the seventh day. Is that a Sunnah she got from the Prophet – may Allāh raise his rank and grant him peace – or was it her own preferred way of giving (optional) charity?

And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allāh (i.e. this Qurʾān), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allāh’s Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became bre…
Al-Qaadhee ‘Iyadh (d.544) said in Ikmaal al-Mu’lim (1/403):
In this ḥadīth is proof for Ahl al-Sunnah for what they say, that Allāh may forgive the sins of whomever He wants, and it explains the ḥadīths before it that might seem to give the false impression that someone who commits suicide faces the eternal threat of remaining (in the Fire) forever. It is also a refutation of the Khawārij and Muʿtazilah.

[Q1]: (A sister asks): There are those who ascribe to salafīyyah however when it comes to the people of bidʿah, they are very lenient and gentle with them, you will find them having hundred’s of excuses for them, however when it comes to their brothers and sisters from Ahl al-Sunnah, you find them constantly criticizing them and being harsh with them, instead of being patient and gentle with the salafiyyoon, what is your advice to them?
