[@JaefarSABNW]

When people stray from direct justification, anything of the subject becomes possible. The confessions to find out how to atone should generally be the only ones.

How about when it comes to lying? Must I confess a lie I have to told to a person, in order for Allah to forgive me? Say you lie to a person. The lie neither causes nor would it cause any harm to the person. Do you need to tell them the whole truth, so that they forgive you, in order for Allah to forgive you?

[@Thaqlain]

Salaam Alaykum. If the lying caused injustice to the right of the person, it is better to seek their forgiveness alongside seeking forgiveness from Allah. It may not be necassary to confess each and every detail to the person. We will suggest that you discuss this case with a scholar.

@@Thaqlain So here’s what happened. I logged into someones old account by changing the password, saw something I wasn’t supposed to see and quickly logged out. What I saw was a very quick glance, and honestly don’t fully remember what I saw exactly. I know this is an invasion of privacy, and I regret doing it, truly. It was a mistake which I have learned from. Must I confess everything to the other person? I went ahead and told them that I did log in, and that the password was changed however I told them that it was all done by accident. And I told them that I saw nothing. They were not bothered by it and forgave me based on the information I told them. And like I said, it was an old account, barely used and they don’t even care about it. They even have another account they are using. So the question is, must I confess the whole truth to them? I have not been able to reach a scholar

[@Thaqlain]

Please refer to a scholar.

Im from the bohra community we do NOT do indulgences the most we can do is give sadakah, zakat, and ask our dais to intercede in terms of doing dua for us. We do not break arms or ask our priests give jannah certificates. Only Allah decides who enters and who doesn’t.

[@lunarious87]

You said: "Allah decides who enters and who doesn’t." I'm deciding to act as reason from Allah by "falling into the group" of doing good. Because i and you can always chose to do good actions. I think i can do good things even for non-muslim. Right?

[@Thaqlain]

JazakAllah for sharing the reality. We hope the dais don't do dua against a some of money else it will be very close to the concept of indulgences.

[@ahmadabbas6731]

What if you are trying to seek help from commiting a sin aka an addictive sin? Is it still allowed?

[@ahmadabbas6731]

Nvm I just finished the while video

[@Thaqlain]

May Allah be your support 🙂

[@rahmtube2885]

What if you marry a virgin woman but you find out after the wedding that they are not?

[@Thaqlain]

In some jurisprudential cases, wrong information at the time of Nikah does invalidate the Nikah. Please seek assistance from a scholar in this matter :)

[@rahmtube2885]

@Thaqlain this discussion needs a good lecture to cover its different aspects although extremely complex and sensitive

[@Thaqlain]

It has been covered in the Practical Laws book (Tawdheeh al-Masael) of all jurists.

[@rahmtube2885]

@Thaqlain I'd really appreciate it if you mention this with the sayed if he wishes to make a lecture on it. Insha Allah it will benefit the youths

[@Thaqlain]

InshaAllah. If someday we do a series on marital life we will definitely cover this.

[@declansceltic198]

I’m really sad to say that the wise scholar here is unfortunately misinformed on the doctrine of Indulgences. It sounds to me, personally, like he has absorbed some Middle Age misrepresentation from our Protestant brothers.

[@peacemaker1636]

I would love to hear ur perspective bc this is how i was taught abt indulgences as well ❤❤

[@lunarious87]

What is the Truth about "purchased property in Paradise", if you want to share with me/us?

[@declansceltic198]

@@lunarious87 What an indulgence is, in the simplest terms possible, is a remittance (removal) of temporal (time-based) punishments for Sin. Catholics affirm Purgatory, which you might have heard about! This is a temporal state where we are purified of sins before entering Heaven. So, as Indulgences related to Purgatory - EVERYONE in Purgatory is 100% guaranteed to go to Heaven! Also, I have never, in my entire life, heard a Catholic say Heaven will have “houses”. That’s a very earthly vision of Heaven, which Christians and especially Catholics will reject. We don’t even think we’ll have bodies in Heaven until the Second Coming of Christ!

@@peacemaker1636 Myth 1: A person can buy his way out of hell with indulgences. Since indulgences remit only temporal penalties, they cannot remit the eternal penalty of hell. Once a person is in hell, no amount of indulgences will ever change that fact. The only way to avoid hell is by appealing to God’s eternal mercy while still alive. After death, one’s eternal fate is set (Heb. 9:27). Myth 2: A person can buy indulgences for sins not yet committed. The Church has always taught that indulgences do not apply to sins not yet committed. The Catholic Encyclopedia notes, “[An indulgence] is not a permission to commit sin, nor a pardon of future sin; neither could be granted by any power.” Myth 3: A person can “buy forgiveness” with indulgences. The definition of indulgences presupposes that forgiveness has already taken place: “An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven” (Indulgentarium Doctrina 1, emphasis added). Indulgences in no way forgive sins. They deal only with punishments left after sins have been forgiven. Myth 6: A person can buy indulgences. The Council of Trent instituted severe reforms in the practice of granting indulgences, and, because of prior abuses, “in 1567 Pope Pius V canceled all grants of indulgences involving any fees or other financial transactions” (Catholic Encyclopedia). Myth 7: A person used to be able to buy indulgences. One never could “buy” indulgences. The financial scandal surrounding indulgences that gave Martin Luther an excuse for his heterodoxy, involved indulgences in which the giving of alms to some charitable fund or foundation was used as the occasion to grant the indulgence. There was no outright selling of indulgences. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: “Among the good works which might be encouraged by being made the condition of an indulgence, almsgiving would naturally hold a conspicuous place. . . . To give money to God or to the poor is a praiseworthy act, and, when it is done from right motives, it will surely not go unrewarded.” I hope this is helpful!

Peace and greetings. Thank you for sharing a detailed input. We will definitely share it with Sayed. And this will definitely allow him to have better understanding of the Christian beliefs. We would also welcome if there is any book/series that you would like to recommend on this topic.
