A Growing Fitnah Among Self-Proclaimed Guides

Assalamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters, I’m from Egypt and I've been noticing a troubling trend. So many people with barely any real knowledge are going online calling themselves scholars. They focus almost entirely on women-criticizing their dress and blaming them for men’s sins. They rarely, if ever, mention a husband’s duties toward his wife, only her responsibilities, and they often exaggerate those beyond what Islam teaches. It’s really dangerous. Not just because they fail to provide proper sources or twist the meanings of verses and hadiths to fit their narrative, but some of their teachings are outright harmful. Things like shaming sisters who have faced abuse and denying that domestic violence even exists. Have you noticed something similar in your communities?

I noticed this in Algeria too. They have no ijazah, no proper study, yet they speak on fiqh of marriage like they're Ibn Taymiyyah. It's scary for young Muslims.

Wallahi, it's so true. Every other day I see a new 'sheikh' on Facebook ranting about women's hijab but never about lowering their own gaze. It's exhausting.

It's a fitnah indeed. We need to support sisters who seek proper knowledge from trustworthy sources, not these clout chasers.
