Do forgiven sins remain recorded in the scrolls?

 Forgiveness is for you, not anyone else | A Lust For Life - Irish Mental  Health Charity in Ireland

Answered by our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu 'Abdirrahmān Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him - on the 9th, Sha'bān, 1442H

Question: The one who is forgiven, are his sins erased from his scrolls?

Answer: Yes, they are erased, if Allāh forgives him, he erases them for him.

(يَمْحُوا۟ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثْبِتُۖ وَعِندَهُۥٓ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ)

"Allāh blots out what He wills and confirms (what He wills). And with Him is the Mother of the Book (Al-Lawh Al-Mahfūdh)"

[Ar-Ra'd, 39]

(فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ حَسَنَٰتٍۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا)

"For those, Allāh will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

[Al-Furqān, 70]

So they are erased. His statement 'forgive', it (means)  covering and erasing and removing.

(قُلْ يَٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا۟ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيم)ُ 

"Say: "O 'Ibādi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allāh, verily Allāh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

[Az-Zumar, 53]

And the black thawb is more concealing of stains, so it includes covering and erasing.

Does guardianship go to the ruler straight away if the father prevents marriage?

Answered by our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu 'Abdirrahmān Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him - on the 16th, Muharram, 1442H

Question: If the father prevents (his daughter) from marrying, does the guardianship transfer to the wali next in line or to the judge straight away?

Answer: In the Hadith, 

فَالسُّلْطَانُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لاَ وَلِيَّ لَهُ

"Then the ruler/judge is the wali (guardian) of the one who has no wali (guardian)."

So if it is possible for the brother for example to take the place of the father and take guardianship of her, then verily she has guardians other than the father, it enters into the (Hadith) one who has no wali and he is a wali to her and he is the brother.

Prostration of Forgetfulness due to an addition is after the Salām

By our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abū 'Abdirrahmān Yahya bin 'Alī Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him - 

وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، - عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ - فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدَثَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شَىْءٌ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَمَا ذَاكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا صَلَّيْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا - قَالَ - فَثَنَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ لَوْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شَىْءٌ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَإِذَا نَسِيتُ فَذَكِّرُونِي وَإِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّ الصَّوَابَ فَلْيُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ لْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

 89 - (572) Uthmān, Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Shaibah and Ishāq bin Ibrāhīm narrated to us on the authority of Jarīr - Uthmān said: Jarīr narrated to us on the authority of Mansūr, on the authority of Ibrāhīm, on the authority of Alqamah, he siad: Abdullāh (Ibn Mas'ūd) said: "The Messenger of Allāh prayed and made salutations ~ Ibrāhīm said: "He made an addition or an omission" ~ so when he made the salutations it was said to him: "O Messenger of Allāh, has there occurred something new in the prayer? He said: "And what is that? They said: "You prayed such and such (amount)." He (the narrator) said: "So he turned his feet and faced the Qiblah and performed two prostrations and then made the salutations, and then turned and faced towards us and said: "Indeed if something new in the prayer occurs, I would inform you of it. But verily I am a human being and I forget as you forget, so if I forget, remind me, and if any of you is in doubt in his prayer, then let him struggle to remember what is correct, and complete his prayer upon that and then make two prostrations."

فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدَثَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شَىْءٌ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَمَا ذَاكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا صَلَّيْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا - قَالَ - فَثَنَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ

"So when he made the salutations it was said to him: "O Messenger of Allāh, has there occurred something new in the prayer? He said: "And what is that? They said: "You prayed such and such (amount)." He (the narrator) said: "So he turned his feet and faced the Qiblah and made two prostrations and then made the salutations."

  Allaah سبحانه و تعالى says in Surah Al- Baqarah, (2:183): 

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun.

(Al-Baqarah, 2:183)

From this verse, we benefit that fasting is not specific for the ummah of Muhammad (ﷺ) alone. Rather, He made it obligatory for those nations before Muhammad (ﷺ)

 From the benefits of fasting is that:

There is no specific reward (not a particular number) for the fasting person; rather, the reward is with Allaah (عزّوجلّ). There is no limit to the reward given to fasting. It does not have a specific amount of reward. Allaah (عزّوجلّ) has mentioned that the reward is upon Him and He rewards without any limitations.  

The hadith of Abi Hurairah in Bukhari & Muslim where the Prophet () said,

"(Allaah said), 'Every good deed of Aadam's son is for him except fasting; it is for Me. and I shall reward (the fasting person) for it.'

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ، إِلاَّ الصَّوْمَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ....

Because of the greatness and importance of fasting and the love for this particular worship, He (عزّوجلّ) has made it specifically for Him.

There is no limit of reward He bestows on the fasting person.
