  These two rulings were including in an email by salafists from a scholar (that lives in Saudi Arabia and has probably never visited the West) giving advice on how to live in the West.

  4. Whenever I see a disbeliever with something nice like a beautiful car is it permissible for me to say, ” Mashallah!” to him?

  
  

  Answer: Don’t say that to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)said,” When you meet them walk in a manner that causes them to walk in a narrower path”.

  7.Is it permissible for a Muslim to greet the disbelievers with greetings such as Good morning or Good evening first when meeting?

  
  

  Answer: No don’t give the disbeliever the greetings first. He should walk pass the disbeliever without giving him the greetings. Perhaps the person with intellect can understand that the reason he’s prohibited from receiving greetings of peace is because he’s a Kafir. A kafir doesn’t believe in the religion of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). By not giving the Kafir the greetings he is pulled to Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,” When you meet them don’t give them the greetings first.”

  Very practical advice indeed. Bet you’d be a real thrill to be around not speaking to anyone and non-Muslims would want to accept Islam very quickly that way

  same scholar would prolly think it is not right to live under a majority kuffar regime too (unless muslims controlled all levers of power).

  5. When I see a disbeliever with a better car than me, should I find it at all ironic that I immediately seek a fatwa to halalify my grasping materialism? Or is irony just plain old dead in this religion?

  Well, this is from the same email:

  3. A questioner from France says,” As-salaamu alaykum. Is it correct that the actions of a Muslim residing in the Lands of Kuffar is deficient in comparison to the actions of a Muslim living in an Islamic Country?

  Answer: The reality for the person residing in land of disbelief that has an excuse why he can’t make Hijra receives complete rewards for his deeds-Inshallah. He must preserve the Sharre’ah of his religion. And if he safeguards his religions rights while in that land and falls into some shortcomings due to the laws of the disbelievers he will be rewarded. Whoever has a valid excuse to reside in the lands of Kufur than his reward is great and not deficient. And whoever has the ability to move to lands of Islam in order to live and die with the Muslims in their land, then this an obligation for them to due so. Unless the person has some necessary reason for remaining in the lands of Kufur then he must make sincere intention that when has the ability to make hijrah then he will perform it right away. Allah mentions about those whom he has excused in his saying “Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way. For these there is hope that Allah will forgive them, and Allah is Ever Oft Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.[ An-Nisa' 98-99]

  But when you find country managed by disbelievers with better prospects, freedom and social services jump on borad immediately and try to avail all government services by lawfully and unlawfully, it is the teaching of Islam. A religion of idiots….
