Question: What is the ruling on smilies on computers that are used when brothers chat with each other? These symbols represent ones expressions; to press on a happy smiley symbolizes happiness and to press on a sad smiley symbolizes agitation.

‘Allâmah Zayd bin Muhammad al-Madkhalî: These emoticons are baseless in the Sharî’ah. There is no need of embodied figures except in need, which it (this situation) isn’t. Thus, these smilies are baseless. If these two persons are in need of each other, they can speak via some other method. As for smilies that stand for happiness and anger, then they do not belong to the methodology of Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamâ’ah.

Ibn Taymiyyah: If it is said that Allah rose above the throne after having created the heavens and the earth and that it means that Allah before that was not above the throne, the answer is that the rising is a specific transcendence. Each one that has risen above something is above it, but each one that is above something DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE RISEN ABOVE IT. (SHN, p. 148)

Ibn Taymiyyah: To believe that one knows of all attributes of Allah and that which you do not know evidence for neither is an attribute, is a deviant opinion. Lack of knowledge about its evidence does not mean that something does not exist. (al-Imam al-Awsat, p. 116)

Ibn Taymiyyah: Moreover - if all Sahabah read al-Fatihah behind him in the first silent period or in the second then this would have been reported manifoldly. So how can it be so when none of the Sahabah have reported that they used to read al-Fatihah behind him in the second silent period. Had it been prescribed then the Sahabah would have been those with the most right of all humans to know of it and act in accordance with it. Thus we know that IT IS A BID'AH. (al-Fatawa al-Kubra - Kitab-us-Salah - 14, afatwa.com)

Ibn Taymiyyah: One of the opinions say that one should not read behind the Imam at all. The second opinion say that one should read behind the imam in all cases.

(al-Fatawa al-Kubra - Kitab-us-Salah - 14, afatwa.com)

Ibn Taymiyyah: To listen to the reading of the Imam is thus better than reading, and the reading is better than being silent [I.e. if one does not hear him]. This is the opinion held by the majority of the scholars such as Malik, Ahmad bin Hanbal and the majority of their adherents as well as a group among the adherents of ash-Shafi'i and Abu Hanifah. It is also the old opinion of ash-Shafi'i and Muhammad bin al-Hasan's opinion. (al-Fatawa al-Kubra - Kitab-us-Salah - 14, afatwa.com)

Do not do it except for al-Fatihah." The command here is mentioned after the prohibition. When a command comes after a prohibition, the command stands for a permission and not an obligation or pillar. (Asl Sifah Salat-in-Nabiyy 1/332, afatwa.com)

al-Albani: Shaikh Rabi' always speaks based upon knowledge. [Majmu'ah v. 1 p. 10]

Ibn Taymiyyah: Moreover, it goes to show that if the reading in the loud prayer had been obligatory for the one who is being led, then one of the two following incidents would have been necessary: One should either read with the Imam or the Imam must be silent so that one can read. We do not know of any dissension regarding (the fact) that it is not obligatory for the Imam to be silent so that the led one can read al-Fatihah or something other than it - and to read with him is forbidden according to the Book and the Sunnah. This confirms that one does not have to read with him in loud prayers. (al-Fatawa al-Kubra - Kitab-us-Salah - 14, afatwa.com)
