Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, dear scholars,BarakaAllahu feekum for your excellent service that you provide. May Allah ta'aala bless you all for your efforts and your support that you give.I would like to ask you to help me with understanding in surat-ul-baqqarah ayah no. 178, that deals with qisas. So far I understand that in case a person kills another person, only the murderer can get the hadd-punishment of death.now, just in theory, a free man kills intentionally a slave from another family, does the family of the killed slave have the right to kill in retaliation according 2:178 a slave of the killers family, although this slave from the killers family does not have done anything wrong (?the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the female for the female??)? In my mind this would be unfair, if according to 2:178 it would be possible to kill a human being, who never had anything to do with the killing.  Could you please clarify this to me?especially I am looking for an explanation from the point-of-view of those scholars, who say, that ayah 2:178 was NOT abrogated by ayah 5:45.Please help me with this, because I have no possibility in my home-country, to ask a real scholar and the topic of qisas often is brought up towards us Muslims by many kuffar.

Assalamu'alaikum..My question is regarding whudu'. Firstly, I always rub each segment of my face when I wash it to make sure water reach the whole of my face skin. Is this necessary or can I just wash it three times without really have to pay excessive extension to small details? (My face has/had lots of pimples/acne). Secondly, washing face three times is sunnah.. Does this mean the first one is the compulsory one and thus need the extra attention while the other two I can do it lightly? Or am I just two part icular about things? Secon dly, washing hands. After washing my face, is it compulsury to wash hand from elbow up to the end of fingers, or is it only until up to the wrists that is compulsury. Thank you. I suffered from waswasah before and also suffer from it now and then.

SalaamMy cousin does her 5 t imes salah, however she does not observe the hijab at the moment. She wanted to know that if she does wudu and goes out without having a headscarf on (she does wear one while praying and observes the islamic dress code during salah)and comes back home and does her salah would it be still be valid as she had not covered her awrah while she was out (her clothing is not as the islamic dress wear should be), or would she have to perform wudu again in order to perform the salah.I pray you make dua for me and my cousin and that Allah guides us all.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. What if I give my entire zakah money to my divorced sister who wants to try to make a living with that money? She has no income and has two children who are still students. Jazakum Allah khayran.

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. In sha’ Allah I am planning to get married soon, and the person I am interested in has come back to me stating the two hadiths stated below that apply to both men and women when choosing their spouses. However, I see it differently with men given that they have more options in the attributes to look for in a wife. According to one hadith, The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that a woman may be married for her wealth, her beauty, her lineage or her religious commitment, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged a man to marry the one who is religiously committed." My question is, are women allowed to marry for the same reasons? If so, why would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mention this hadith in a context that is being addressed to men? Concerning how a woman can choose her partner I have read a hadith where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned, "If there comes to you one whose religious commitment and attitude please you, then marry [your female relative who is under your care] to him, for if you do not do that, there will be tribulation on earth and much corruption.” Looking at these hadiths why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not mention other attributes to look for in a man from a woman's point of view? Is it safe to assume that the first hadith applies to men and women? I am confused as to why it is addressed to men. Jazakum Allahu Khayran.

As-salamu `alaykum. Is it a bid`ah(innovation in religion) to give a short talk after every salah (Prayer)?

I heard from a lot of Muslim scholars that every true Muslim will go to Jannah at the last. I mean let?s say if a Muslim has so many sins he should ask Allah for forgiveness. But let?s say if he was not able to ask for forgiveness and Allah also has not forgiven him, so he will go to hell and will go through his particular sin?s punishment and eventually at last he will go to Jannah. Even I heard Allah will forgive even that person in hell who has a very small amount of Iman in his heart.now I read this verse # 93 Surah Al-Nisa. Here it is mentioned that if someone kills a believer unlawfully then he has to live in hell forever. This statement is confusing me now. I think my opinion is that even though he did a major sin but after completing his punishment he will go to Jannah if the killer is also a Muslim. Even I read some tafseers and it?s mentioned there that here in this verse FOREVER means for a long period of time, because in hell only Kufar will live forever. I also agree with this that InshAllah Muslim cannot be in hell forever. Can you please explain your thoughts, because I always trust on your answers more than anything?

The Gospel of BarnabasRespected scholars, as-salamu alaykum. I live in a country where most of the people are christians. Here muslims use to tell christians they should read the Gospel of Barnabas to prove that the four Gospels in the Bible are wrong. I read about this Gospel of Barnabas, and there is for example mentioned Muhammad by name. And also some people say, that this Gospel is written in Italy, unlike Gospels in the Bible.My question is, do most of muslim shcolars believe that this Gospel of Barnabas dates back to first century?Thank you.

Assalam alykum sir, I've come to know from somewhere that Islam forbids keeping Parakeets as pets, is it true? Personally, i find birds very cheerful and would love to have them as pets but this ruling surprised me. What's the reason behind this strange ruling? Also, i've known since long back that keeping dogs as pets is also impermissible as the fariste of mercy don't enter the house, again how far is this true? I find this quite absurd though i'm sure Islam always has a reason behind all that it commands even if i can't comprehend. Please clarify so that i can follow my religion reasonably.thanks a lot Jazakallah khair

Assalamu alaykumEsteemed scholars,My question is regarding nail polish. I know that it is permissible for a muslim woman to use nail polish as long she takes it off before ablution as otherwise the water cannot reach the nail. However my question is the following : is it permissible to use nail polish for my foot nails knowing that I make dry ablution (tayyamum) all through the year (because I suffer from eczema) and that I never wear open shoes or sandals which would let my feet show? The reason I would like to use nail polish is that I do not like my nails and I would like to make them look nicer for myself but also for my husband.Jazaka Allahu khayran. May Allah SWT reward you for the great work you are doing.

One of the forms of shirk mentioned in the Quran is that of good or admired people in the society, where the people of Nuh (peace be upon him) built statues of such people and worshipped them.

Assalamu Alaikum 1. In my office I have to take wudhu the first steps till wiping ears in the washroom and the legs I wash from the toilet-WC, showing my legs towards the closet without touching any part of it so that the falls in it and not the floor { however I think this is in appropriate ]. I do this because I have no choice. I cannot wet the floor as other too use the washroom and toilet{except me all are non-musl ims and I don?t want them to think that I am making places dirty and think wrong about islam}. I came to know that in we can just wipe our foot with ankles above the socks without washing them. Can I do that as a better option? Also is this applicable if  taking another wudu because our first wudu is broken? I hope you got my query right? 2. Is it necessary to take wudu for each and every fard prayer? 3. Does my wodhu become invalid if I touch my husband? Is there a specific hadith or strong evidence for the same? Please give me fatwa on this matter. 4. Does our wodhu become invalid if we touch a female non-muslim? 5. Can  I touch the Quran without the wodhu?6. Is it ok if after the recited the verses in Ruku, sujud, between sujud, and after saying blessing the prophet after tashahud in the last rakah, we pray to Allah in our heart in our own mother tongue to forgive our sins or make dua in our own mother tongue? Jazakum Allahu khairan.

I'm married to a woman (45 years old) that is almost 4 years older than me &amp; we have 2 daughters. Due to the early removal of her uteris (womb) at the age of 37, her sexual abilities droped dramatically. Sex is very important for me in quantity &amp; quality, which is not currently present due to my wife's case; At the same time, she doesn't accept the idea of me marrying another. She said divorce me &amp; marry another; &amp; she means it.this will mean the destruction of a family with 2 kids at a very critical age. Also I do love my wife &amp; care for her. Is it ok to marry another secretly without telling her in order to avoid falling into sin.? Furthermore, what are the measures i should take care of in order to have a marriage that complies with Islam.? Is the Time bound, Mesyar or Mot3a marriage approved by Islam.?

Working in a financial type of business.

What a Muslim should do in general if he or she wants to work in the financial sector that all or part of it is based on RIBA?

My wife and I enjoy a very healthy sexual relationship, but at times we get bored and we try different things but never anal sex, we recently tried oral stimulation as part of foreplay and really enjoy it as it helps us satisfy each other totally, We sometimes use chocolate and rub it all over each other and lick it off, sometimes we use flavoured condoms. I have researched all your fatwas and have read the article Islams stance on oral sex and I am still not sure, We dont have oral sex but just use it as stimulation for foreplay, Is this permissable as if it is not I want to stop.

 SalaamI wish to marry a shi`ah man and am Sunni. There are points of agreement between us but I am concerned about the way he says his Shahadah. After 'Lailaha Illahla ho Muhammadan Rasoolallah' he adds 'Hazrat Ali is the successor of the Messenger of Allah and his first caliph'. Is it permissible to add this or anything else? Would it amount to shirk at all?Please advise as fully as you can.Jazak Allah Ps, I asked this question on the Live Fatwa which was part helpful but did not expand on the statement below:'Of course, as Sunnis we can?t accept this of shahada as it is completely different from the sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the majority of companions' (answer)Can you explain whether it is still permissable or amounts to Shirk? Kindly also explain why we cannot accept this as shahadah. This would enhance my knowledge of the subject before I can make a decision.

Assalamu'alaikum, Is it permissible to invest the money in bond. Some retirement plans gradually invest the money in bond as the participant approaches the retirement age.thank you.

Assalam u Alaykum. During a religious debate a very serious point was brought up by my colleague.During the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the establishment of Islam over the Asia and Europe, letters were sent out by the Prophet to leaders of various lands. These encouraged them to take up Islam as it was a better way of life for them. My colleague states that after intial polite letters further incentives were sent to accept Islam. Thereafter what could be interpreted as threatening letters were sent therein stating accept Islam or we will wage a war against you. Is this true?An example given was when the companion Umar was told to go to Persia (Iran) and destroy thousands of books in the libraries as only Islam and the Quran was all that they needed. My colleague claimed Islam eradicated thier culture and way of life which they were more than content with. They were told the Quran is all that they need.Surely education and knowledge via books and libraries is fundamental in Islam as were are here but to acquire knowledge and spread that knowledge of the beautiful preachings and way of life of Islam.If this is factual surely Islam is about giving the message of Islam to others and then letting them decide if they want to accept it. Islam is a religion of peace. Why would the Prophet order war against a nation purely as a consequence of thier King not accepting Islam?If this is not factual please explain why the Prophet did what he did in the context of that time. Maybe the Persian King contributed to this reaction?Thank you for your efforts. May Allah forgive us all and grant us eternal paradise.

Assalamu Alaikum,I wish to know whether it is permissible to put one?s nose a tube that has Vicks that one inhales in order to open (open one?s air ducts) nasal congestion due to Flu &amp; Cold. If a person uses it while fasting is his fasting nullified and qadaa obligatory?I used it while fasting (3 or 4 times) and thought it was Ok! I read some Islamic Books (rules &amp; regulations of fasting) and found no mention whether inhaling Vicks invalidates the fast. Only inhaling snuff (powder) and asthma sufferers are not allowed to use their inhaler while fasting.Now I am having second thoughts whether my fasting is valid or not. Is kaafara necessary?Please help me to clarify. I follow Hanafi madhab.Jazak Allah

Dear schlars, I have a doubt about the consumption of the vinegar. Indeed, this product (used in the preparation of salads, etc) is composed of illicit liquors such as the wine and alcohol.

Should we avoid consuming these products, even if we know that they are composed of only a little amount of vinegar, alcohol and wine ?thank you for your answer and may Allah Almighty reward you.

Assalamou alaykoumI have recently come to discover that interest money generated from bank deposits and savings are not lawful according to the Shari'ah (it is Riba). In my case, I have been earning that illicit money for long years from a deposit account and, later on, from a savings account, now both closed, al hamdou lillah.  I am willing to get rid of all the interest money collected during that long period of time from those accounts. At this stage, I have three main questions:1- According to the Shari'ah, am I required to get rid of all the interest money that I earned during a period of time that go back to the 1980s?2- If so, how can I calculate the total amount of that money, especially if we know that the interest money earned year after year had been added to the principal and had produced itself more interest? What if I could not get the exact amount of that intere st money, because of the long time gone from the very first day of opening that riba-based account?3- Whatever the answer might be, to whom, or say, to what kind of people should I give that interest money? Could I give it to beggars, disabled men and women? simple persons in need? Is it necessary that those people be Muslims?I am waiting impatiently for your guidance and ask you please that your answers be as clear and comprehensive as possible so as to help me to purify my earnings for good.Thank you and may Allah reward you all.

Here in North America , poeple pay a great respect to pets, particularly towards dogs, probably  than any other pet.An elderly female passenger was recently upset at the airport. She requested the ticket agent to give her a copy of her itinerary. She was not happy for not seeing the name of her dog in the ticket. She complained that her pet should have been treated with dignity and respect and should have been called  by name as she considered it as her own child.When people see Muslims don't like dogs, some of them get upset and offended.I know that we consider dogs unclean.

My mother does tasbih of Darud sometimes 1000 times and my mother in law does tasbih of Darud 13000 times.I am aware that every time one sends a prayer(Darud) upon Prophet Mohamed PBUH ,Allah sends ten blessings upon the reciter.But does not a 13000,1000 ,500 or 100 times Darood tasbih imply glorification of Prophet PBUH and indicate a move away from his teachings ,since he preached indulgence in glorification of Allah,and to not make of him what Christians have made of Jesus? I think Darud should be recited in Salat and when we hear Prophets (PBUH) name ,as the Prophet  said that the man who does not send a blessing on me on hearing my name is a miser.Please advise if doing tasbih of Darud is right or wrong?

Assalamoalaikum, I wanted to inquire abouth the hadith which states that 40 days of prayers are not accepted if one drinks alcohol or eats haram. What does this mean? Does this mean that prayers are not rewarded while the obligation is lifted as in case of saum, or one who does it and does not repent shouldnt come to prayer for 40 days? Or does the salat has to be performed in any case and cant be missed since it is an obligation?

Bismillah. I got engaged to a muslim man after meeting him a couple of times in my parent's company. I didn't know him as a person and after we got engaged and made the "aqd qiran". I got to know him and realized it was impossible for me to live with somebody like him. I told him I wanted to break up and now I'm just waiting for everything to be done officially with him and my father and two witnesses(the divorce). My question is: Do I have to give him back the part of "mahr" he gave me, which is an amount of money? And the presents he gave me should I also return them back? We haven't had a wedding but we have been alone several times and got involved in some kind of intercourse. I would be very thankful for an answer.

Respected scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. What are the regulations for a woman traveling abroad for study?

My salary worthy have of Nisab of Zakat but I always ended spending my salary before I receive another to cater for my needs. Similarly, once in a while I do have some money which is above nisab but I do use it to solve immediate needs, in another words, I do not have any serious saving that will last for a year. What am I supposed to do in respect of Zakat?

salam aleykom.there is a hadith saying: “عن أم سلمة رض ي الله عنها قالت: سألت أم سليم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالت: 'إذا احتلمت المرأة أتغتسل؟ فقال: إذا رأت الماء فلتغتسل ' فقالت أم سلمة: يا رسول الله وهل تحتلم المرأة ؟ قال: تربت يمينك، فبم يشبهها ولدها ؟”and there is another hadith saying: ماء الرجل أبيض و ماء المرأة أصفر فإذا اجتمعا فَعلا مَنِيُّ الرجل مَنِيُّ المرأة أذكرا بإذن الله ، وإذا علا مَنِيُّ المرأة مَنِيُّ الرجل آنثا بإذن اللهthe problem is that when it happens to me to have ihtilam, i never ever seen a similar yellow liquid, all what i may have is the lubrificants (madhye) which is rather white and viscous. My married friends said they never ever seen any yellow feminine sperm.  and i checked in medical manuals, and there is no yellow feminine sperm mentioned in them, they say that all what women have during a sexual intercourse or a ihtilam, is the lubrificants (madhye) and that "the feminine sperm" if we can call it like that, is the ovula, which is the microscopic feminine egg responsible of the fact that women give half of the DNA of the baby. the ovula doesn’t get out of the vagina, it stays into the uterus untill a spermatozoid reachs it, then it may give a baby, then if it’s not fertilized, then it gets out but it’s microscopic, not a yellow liquid. oh i'm very confused. please could you make it more clear for me about this "maa'e al mar'ah"?? and what about that hadith, is it sahih?thanx a lot wa salam aleykom

Asalam wa alaikum,I have developed unsightly bags under my eyes within the past year.  I never had them before and they really bother me and are extremely ugly.  People are always asking me whether i am tired or got enought sleep.  My question is whether it is permissible to have them removed through plastic surgery (lower eyelid surgery)?  Again, I wasn't born with them and I am just trying to make that area look like it was before.  Not really sure of the cause.thanks for the quick reply Inshallah    

الموضوع: فتوى فقهية طبية عاجلة جداً ويرجي الرد علينا شخصياً لو تكرمت..... لقد رزقنا أنا وزوجتي بطفل بكر سرعان ما تبين لنا أنه لا يقدر على تحريك أطرافه العليا والسفلى مع تنفس غير طبيعي من البطن, مما دفعنا للأسراع بفحصه في عدة مستشفيات متخصصة في طب الأعصاب للأطفال. وحينها أكتشفنا أنه مصاب بمرض وراثي غير مرجو شفاؤه طبياً حتى الآن... فهذا المرض يصيب الأعصاب الحسية والموصلة بالعضلات الحركية في الجسم ( الهيكل الحركي) مما يجعله غير قادر على تحريك ساعديه ورجليه مع تقلص في عضلات الرئة مما يعجزه عن التنفس الطبيعي دون مساعدة طبية بأجهزة الإنعاش ( التنفس الأصطناعي). وطفلنا البالغ من العمر ستة أشهر الآن يتواجد في العناية المركزة بالمستشفى جراء عدم تمكنه من التنفس. بحسب الإحصاءات الطبية المعمولة حتى الآن علم أن الأطفال المصابين بالمرض يتوفون باكراً دون سن الثانية من العمر – بحسب قدر الله – بعد الصراع المرير مع المرض. إلى جانب الألم النفسي لدي و زوجتي وبعد تحليل الحمض النووي والخارطة الوراثية للمرض علم أن نسبة تكرار هذا الأمر هو 25% مع كل حالة حمل جديدة. وبناءاً عليه فإن الأطباء المتخصصون يوصون بضرورة إجراء فحص وراثي مبكر للجنين في كل حمل مستقبلي في الفترة الأولى من الحمل – ما دون الثلاثة أشهر-  للتأكد من سلامة الجنين والإبقاء عليه إذا كانت نتائح الفحص سليمة أو بإنهاء الحمل بالجنين المصاب. لما لهذا المرض من أثر سلبي على حياة الطفل وصحة الأم وسلامة الأسرة. ومن هنا فإننا نتسأل من مشروعية تقرير إنهاء هذا الحمل إذا ما ثبت أن الجنين مصاب, علماً بأن زوجتي حامل الآن. فلو تكرمتم الإجابة العاجلة جزاكم الله الخير دوماً.

Can an Islamic elementary school use imaginary witches and wizzards to teach Muslim children? And if so, what is allowed and what not? What should be the explanation to the children? Is there a difference in this aspect between Islamic schools in western countries where witchcraft in tales is normal, and the same school in a (more) Islamic country where this is less normal? Is it an alternative to use stories about the ‘flying like the wind’ of Sulaiman (pbwh), or the stick of Musa(pbwh) etc.?
