Hamdoon Al-Qassaar was asked:
❝Why is the speech of the Salaf more beneficial than ours?
He replied: ‘This is because they spoke to give ascendancy to Islam and to please The Most Merciful; whereas we speak to give ascendancy to ourselves, to seek after the worldly life and please the creation.’❞
[Safwatus Safwah, (2/122) | Translated By Abu Abdillaah Hassan as-Somali

GOSSIP ARE COMMON
To Abdullah Ibn Mubarak it was once said: “Why do you never sit next to us after the prayer?” He said: “I sit with the Sahaba and the Tabi’een. They asked, “How can you sit with the Sahaba and Tabi’een while they have lived previously?” He replied: “I read their narrations that I have collected. I examine their narrations and deeds. What do I find here with you? You are only here to gossip about people!

14 Occasions in Which it is Disliked to Initiate the Islamic Greetings – Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan
These are the occasions in which initiating the Islamic greeting is disliked;
1. The One Speaking: It is disliked to initiate the Islamic greeting to a person who is speaking since he is busy with conversing with someone.
2. The One Busy with Remembering Allah: “The one who is occupied with remembering Allāh ﷻ” meaning saying – SubḥānAllāh, Allāhu Akbar and reciting the Quʾān.
3. The One Busy with the Speech of Muḥammad: Meaning the one who is busy in [reading, studying and memorising] the ḥadīth of the Prophet ﷺ.
4. The Orator: Meaning to greet the khaṭīb at times other than the Friday sermon, since speaking in Friday prayer is [already] prohibited, it is prohibited to greet the khāṭīb and those listening.
5. The One Teaching: “…whilst teaching…” meaning the person who is engaged in teaching the Qurʾān, ḥadīth, matters of jurisprudence or Arabic grammar, do not greet him. Some people, when they arrive to a gathering whilst the lesson has commenced, they greet and raise their voices. This is disliked since this will distract the teacher and those sitting and listening. This would cause the people to turn their attention to him (rather than the teacher).
6. The One Researching Knowledge: “..who is indulged in researching the sciences of knowledge..” meaning the person who is researching an academic issue. Do not greet him and disturb his research. This is not correct.
7. The Preacher: “..or the preacher..” meaning the one preaching to the people, so do not greet him if you arrive. Sit down and listen to the admonition and do not extend the Islamic greetings as you will disturb the lecturer and those listening.
8. The faqīḥ: Meaning the one revising knowledge of jurisprudence (fiqḥ).
9. The Caller to the Prayer: [meaning] the one calling the ʾathān for the prayer. Do not greet him whilst he is calling the people to prayer since you will disturb him during the ʾathān.
10. The One Praying: “..the one in prayer..” meaning if you arrive and there is a person praying then do not greet him until he has completed his prayer. It has been reported from the Prophet ﷺ that one of the companions had greeted him and he returned the salutation by indicating [with his hand, head or finger]. So if someone greets you whilst you are in prayer then return the salutation by indication.
11. The One Purifying Himself: “..or a person purifying himself..” the one who is performing the ablution, so do not greet him until he has finished making his ablution. However, if he is washing himself for other than the purpose of worship such as cooling down or merely cleaning, then there is no problem for you to greet him.
12. The One Eating: It is not legislated to greet the one busy eating.
13. The One Reliving Himself: “..and he who is relieving himself..” And this is severe. This is referring to the person who is urinating or defecating; do not greet him whilst he is relieving himself. Since it is disliked for the one urinating or defecating to speak whilst in this condition, so do not greet him.
14. The Mujāhid: “..the person who is engaged in fighting the enemy in jiḥād.” the last occasion is the fighter who is engaged in battle, do not greet him whilst he is fighting, because he is engaged in fighting the enemy of Allāh ﷻ.

Imam Ahmad, an-Nasai, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban in his Sahih report the hadith of Ka’b ibn Malik al-Ansari, (ra), from the Prophet (pbuh) that he said: “Two hungry wolves let loose among sheep are not more harmful then a person craving after wealth and status is to his Deen (Religion).” at-Tirmidhi said, “It is hasan Sahih.”
The wording of the hadith of Jabir, (ra) is: “Two ravenous wolves which spend the night amongst sheep whose shepherd is absent, will not cause more havoc for the people than will love of status and wealth to a Believer’s Deen.”

Fatwas about financial transactions – Loan a Currency Exchange
The ruling about dealing with usury-based banks through permissible transactions
Question:
What is the ruling concerning dealing with usury-based banks through permissible transactions? And may Allah reward you.
Answer:
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon whom Allah sent as a mercy to the Worlds, upon his Family, his Companions and his Brothers until the Day of Resurrection.
In principle, one has to refrain absolutely from dealing with usury-based banks even if the transaction is devoid of the forbidden usury; as the permissible transaction with such banks entails acknowledgement and approval of usury; this is materialized in the cooperation in the usury transactions and intensifying them. It should be noted that most of the permissible transactions entail transgressions of the religion that are manifestly invalid such as: imposing commercial insurance on the permissible bargains, all risks insurance, taking cut of the insurance and imposing taking loan on the contractor if he starts a project for example, as well as imposing a fine upon delay and suchlike.
It goes without saying that the permissible contracts when linked with invalid conditions and restrictions, they either become nullified or the condition is judged invalid without the contract. Both cases cannot occur within of usury-based banks and financial institutions system because they are not structured according to the religious ruling; that is why dealing (with them) is prohibited and concerned by the verse in which Allah عزّ وجلّ says:
﴿ وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡعُدۡوَٰنِۚ ﴾ [المائدة: 2.[
The meaning of the verse:
﴾ And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression ﴿ [Al-Mâ’ida: 2]; this is the case in normal circumstances. However, when it is a question of need and necessity, i.e., if the Muslim is compelled or needs to make permissible transactions with usury-based banks while having no other alternatives; it is permissible for him to do that if necessity imposes it with its condition (1) such as fund transfer via banks in return of payment; Allah عزّ وجلّ says:
﴿وَقَدۡ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِلَّا مَا ٱضۡطُرِرۡتُمۡ إِلَيۡهِۗ ﴾ [الأنعام: 119.[
The meaning of the verse:
﴾ And He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity ) ﴿ [Al-An‘âm: 119].
The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah عزَّ وجلَّ; and our last prayer is all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and prayers of Allah are to Muhammad and his Family, Companions and Brothers until the Day of Resurrection.
