Respected scholars! As-Salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. May you have a happy and blessed Ramadan! Now, the end of Ramadan is approaching. I heard that a Muslim's fast will not be accepted unless he pays Zakat Al-Fitr. Please shed light on the rules and significance of this kind of Zakah.

Dear respected scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh. May you have a happy and blessed `Eid Al-Fitr! My question is: What is the significance of `Eid Al-Fitr in Islam?

Is it permissible for me to give a gift to my wife on our wedding anniversary each year?

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.how can we achieve unity among Muslims regarding celebrating important occasions such as `Eid Al-Fitr? Could you please shed some light on this issue in order for us to avoid disunity over the beginning and end of our rituals. Thanks for your cooperation. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Can we visit graves on the day of `eid? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Respected scholar, as-salamu `alaykum.  Maybe Morocco and Belgium will start and end Ramadan the same date, but what if I start Ramadan the first of September in Belgium, and then I go to Morocco the last two weeks of September/Ramadan and they fast 30 days in Morocco, must I fast with them? That will make my Ramadan a total of 31 days! Jazakum Allahu k hayran.

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. Why do Muslims differ on the beginning and end of fasting in Ramadan? Please explain.

As-Salamu `alaykum! Is it permissible to transfer Zakah outside the country where I reside?

What is the virtue of Laylat Al-Qadr (the Night of Power)?

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahamatullah wa barakatuhu Dear learned brothersI have a question regarding mental health is Islam. If one has bad thoughts in their mind outside Ramadhan, they can blame Iblis. But what about when it occurs during Ramadhan when the Shaytan are chained. I have sought refuge in Allah and asked for his forgiveness, particularly during laylat al qadr, but occasionally bad thoughts continue. Since shaytan is chained does this make me an evil person or mentally unwell? Please assist by replying to my email if possible. Otherwise posting this on the website is ok, as there may be others out there in a similar position who may be too embarrased to ask. Jazakallahkhair.

As-Salam `Alaykum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh ! Dear Sheikhs, given that the blessed night Laylatul-Qadr is approaching, we would like you to tell us what should we do in this night. Kindly inform us of the acts of worship that are recommended in this night?

As we are winding down to the end of Ramadan, sure we could gain from you some advice on how to spend these last precious days. Right?

Dear Scholar, as-salamu `alaykum.thank you for your time and the efforts you devote to Allah's Cause and spreading His Word everywhere. I would like to know the best way by which one should welcome Ramadan and get its blessed rewards. Jazakum Allah Khayran.

As-Salamu `Alaykum. I would like to know if it is permissible to sleep in Mosques. I have seen and practiced this when going out in Da`wah congregation but I guess there are many people who are totally against the issue of sleeping in Mosques or Musallahs. Can you please enlighten on this issue?

Aslaam u alaikum I wanted to ask that this year I plan to do itikaf as much as possible.  I won’t be able to do the whole time because I have small children and other household responsibilities,  but I will do in the night as much as possible.  Does  the next fasting day start after we break our fast at Maghrib time?  Meaning, will the 27th night the night of Laylatul Qadr start after we break our 26th fast, at Maghrib time.  Does the time for ibadaat for the night start after Maghrib or Isha, or someone told me it start after Asr,  especilally to find the time of Laylat ul Qadr.

Respected Scholar:assalam AliaqumLast night in taraweeh prayers, Imam by mistake made salam after 3 rakah of taraweeh prayers. After salam people informed the imam that he had made 3 rakahs and should repeat the salah, but our  Sheikh/Scholar told the Imam to continue and make the next taraweeh salah only one rakah. Is this combination of 3+1 salah in taraweeh acceptable. Is taraweeh salah valid in this situation or should the imam had repeated the salah.thanks for your reply in advance.

Respected Scholar, as-salamu 'alaikum:Last night in taraweeh prayers, Imam by mistake forgot to sit after 2nd rakah and continued to read taraweeh for the 3rd  rak'ah. He didn't make salam after 3rd rak'ah but rather continued for the 4th rakah. The Imam also didn't make prostration of forgetfulness at the end of the salah. Is taraweeh salah valid in this case or should it have been repeated?thank you in advance for your reply.

   I need clarification on certain matters-1. What is place of cap wearing in Islam, isn't it a short of hypocrisy? What type of cap it should be & how much area should it cover? Is plastic cap allowed?2. What is place of wearing trousers above the ankle? Hadith narrate "those who wear trousers below ankle and feel proud will go to hell"-But I feel in today scenario that most of us today wear trousers below ankle so there is no question of proud, rather those who wear it above ankle they do walk with proud.3. "Grow the beard and cut short the moustache and don't be like a 'Mushrik'- Most of Muslim brother do not grow beard, so merely by absence of it doesn't make us to interpret a person as 'Mushrik'. Is still growing beard is essential?4. Another query, albeit on different topic, some say if 'Barelwi' offer namaz behind 'Devobandi' Imam, his namaz is not valid. Is it true?

Dear scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.I would like if there is it a sin for me to play the piano.

Salam ?I have questions to ask and would like to know; I understand your very busy and this may be the only opportunity I get to ask theses question, so I am sorry if it is more then the allocated question but inshallah you will understand I my point.1. The major signs as we know there are many is there a partic ular order of events for the major signs such as (1)Imam Mehdi which will lead to (2)Ad Dajjal and then (3) Isa (as) etc or will they appear in any order?2. I have had many conversations about this question which is as we know ?the doors of forgiveness will be closed? during the major sign of which many have said the sun rising from the west. The question is, the doors of forgiveness closed upon when you see ANY of the major sign(s) or is it the specific event of the sun rises from the west.3. If the call comes about the appearance of the Dajjal, should we take our family?s etc to the safe place of Medina or Makkah?Brother please help me understand these question because I am very unclear and is frustrating me due to me not having the answers that I am satisfied with, may Allah help you to make me understand and I pray Allah rewards you for your efforts, thank you

Respected scholars, Salam alikum,My question is regarding makeup, It is my understanding that it is not permissible for a muslim women to wear makeup except in the presence of mahram men. I also heard it was commendable to beautify herself for her husband. are things like maskara, blush, eyeliner, etc... haram for a women to wear in front of non mahram men (assuming she is wearing hijab), say to work or school, places that she attends regularly.

Recently I have read a book that praise the Prophet (PBUH) by writing following -1. Part of the earth that lies in vicinity of his body is more exalted than the ?Throne (Arsh)?2. swinging of ?Arsh? stopped when soil of his shoes touched it.3. All the universe come into existence because him. Though Quran says that world is made for His worship, but if we analyze Allah is absolute and eternal He does not need any followers. Actually he wanted that Prophet (PBUH), his most loved creation, should be praised.4. Explaining ?Maqaam-e-Mahmood?, the book says-?He (PBUH) will be asked to sit on the ?Sublime Throne? on the Day of Judgment?.     Please tell me the trustworthiness of such narration in the light of Quran and Hadith.

AsalamoalikumI have question about marriage. I got engaged more than two years ago but could not get married because one of my cousins who called my fiance's parent and told him that I was engaged with him which is not true and threatened him. Prior to this instance my cousin also intervened and threatened the family where I was getting engaged and that engagement ended too. Later on my fiance's dad put a condition unless my cousin and his family agree to the marriage, it wont take place while my fiance wants to marry me but he thinks unless his father agrees the marriage cant take place. And by each passing day we are getting closer and we fear we may commit zina. We are getting old and I suggested to my fiance we should marry in secret which my parents approve of (and in their presence).Both our families have done istikhara and have seen positive dreams. Both me and my fiance don't want to marry elsewhere.We both just want to get married soon, as we don't want to persist in sins. I don't think I can find a better guy than him as he has both good character and is religious. So I need your guidance on the issue if he marries secret. Considering our situation, is it permissible? JazakAllah khair

Assalamou Alykoum Dear Scholars,I?m a 34 year old woman and not married yet.  The issue of marriage is becoming really confusing to me and I need your advise.  I believe that marriage is a Karadar (predestined) either the person will get married or not, to whom will he/she be married to and when. However, my mom tells me that I have to show up in all social events so that guys see me and I have to live in an arabic country because there is higher chances of finding guys there and  someone might introduce me to a guy.What should I do? Should I wait and see what Allah has decreed for me living in any part of the world or go to an arabic country and attend social gatherings so that people see me and introduce me to someone?Jazakoum Allah Khayran

"As is well known, the early Muslims regarded sexual prowess and the ability to satisfy a woman as being an essential part of manhood. The niece of A'isha, a scholarly and beautiful woman called A'isha bint Talha, once married the pious Umar ibn Ubaydillah. On their wedding night he made love to her no fewer than seven times, so that when morning came, she told him: `You are a perfect Muslim in every way, even in this!'"Reference to above paragraph, please let me know conjugal relationships are not allowed to expose of in front of even relatives. How did that thing expose of and revealed in Islamic literature? This is my basic question in this Fatwa. In addition, can husband to his parents and wife to her (married) sisters and her mother tell, I have had a lovely wedding night? Thanks for attention to my Question.

aslamualaikum, My question is regarding the oral-rape, If a boy abuses a girl orally, means he forces her to suck him and she does this, is this considered to be rape? after that, that boy claims that he has not even touched the girl, so is his claim right?? or the guy is punishable for this? and if that boy later decides to return to faith, and he asks Allah for forgiveness, Will he be forgived by Allah even if he dnt ask for  forgiveness to the girl whom he had raped? as the girl is the one who has suffered the most in this case? jazak Allah u kheryr.

As-salamu `alaykum, I have general questions about prayers: 1) Are the prayers of non-believers (i.e. Christians, Jews, etc.) accepted by Allah? (Here I mean the prayers directed to Allah(C.C.), not to someone else!)2) What about the prayers of non-muslims directed to someone other than Allah, are they accepted by Allah?3) What I really wonder is: if a prayer of a non-muslim, directed to Allah or not directed to Allah is not accepted by Allah, does this mean Allah would not guide and solve the problem of  non believers, or wouldn?t answer any wishes of non-believers? (problems subject to  prayers: like illness, trouble etc. or any wishes subjec to prayers: being rich etc.) However  I know that Allah is Ar-Rahman, The All-Merciful. That mercy extends to all of His creatures, Muslims and non-Muslims.  I would be pleased if you clarify on this subject .

this is homework for my islamic school, i want to know (1) descriptions of heaven and (2) descriptions of hell. thank you very much .

Hi, I am contacting you in reference of http://www.answering-christianity.com/I have a matter over here. Few months before i had a major car accident and 2 people died in the accident where as i survived. Thinking about the accident i somehow think that i was not concentrating while driving which caused the accident. This matter has been taken in court but no one has been able to contact the family members of those people. I totally have no idea what should now be done since islam states DIYA must be paid since i didn't killed anyone in fight, didn't even had any relation with them and didn't even know them.But still im really concerned what will this case be treated as on the day of judgement since its really disturbing me alot that in my life i tried to do nothing bad but this one event can change my paths from heaven to hell.

i have observed that for four prayers viz. fajr, zuhr, asr,isha. reasonable time is given (15 to 30 minutes) after azaan for people to gather in the mosque for prayers. my question is related to the maghrib prayer. in some mosques, prayer is offered immediately in the mosque after azaan. kindly explain with proper reference as to how much time gap should be given between azaan and offering prayer (in the mosque).as far as i have the ubderstanding, the purpose of azaan is that people should gatherin the mosque for prayer and so a very reasonable time gap is given to the people to gather in the mosque, except for maghrib prayer. kindly throw light in this matter as i am a bit confused

Salaam alaykum,I have a question concerning the shorterning and joining of prayers for a traveller on the return journey home.Specifically, I wanted to know:a)if it is possible to shorten/join the prayers on the actual days of travel as well as during the journey itself, particularly on the day of return from the journey b) If it is possible, do the time of day of travel and return have an impact on which prayers may be shortened or joined? For example if I begin my return journey after Fajr but before Dhuhr and complete the joruney (i.e. return home) before Asr, can I join Dhuhr with Asr and aslo Maghrib with Isha?I would appreciate any help you can give as this is an issue that has been confusing me for quite a while.

As salamu 'alaykum... Now that our baby daughter has safely entered into our lives, we are scratching our heads on selecting the most appropriate name.   I'd appreciate your input, hopefully a definitive one (compared to the feedback from my native Arabic speaker colleague):   1. As to the accuracy of the meaning of Maysa Hanin which we found from   Maysa -graceful Hanin - Longing, yearning, lovely. Please note that Maysa is spelt differently from Maysa'a ????? 2. Whether there is any negative connotation to the name Maysa Hanin; e.g. Is it commonly regarded as a Christian name? Appreciate early response as I have another 6 days remaining to register the name. Best regards

Asalamulikum, My family learned about the Aqiqah ritual after many children. Is it too late for my family to do this? For the future, what is the exact Sunnah way of doing this ritual? Can someone just pay for Qurbani's oversees at the Eid Al-Adha?

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.Some anti-Zionism Rabbis from Neturei Karta approached us requesting access to the mosque and school to speak about the true teachings of Judaism. Some brothers were worried about inviting them into school, while others said we should be open-minded and listen to other people.What do you think? Should we allow them to speak to our audience as they allow us to speak to their audience about Islam?Jazakum Allahu Khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. If someone intends to travel, when is it religiously licensed for him to not fast? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Respected scholars, as-salamu`alaykum. Some scholars have issued fatwas(religious guidance) prohibiting travel to swine-flu affected countries. There are obvious detrimental consequences that will result from thesefatwas, especially for businessmen who need to travel to other countries to do their work, students, and patients who can not find proper treatment in their countries. Is this fatwa correct, in spite of the detrimental consequences?Jazakum Allahu Khayran.

Assalaam ualaikum dear scholars,the Prophet Muhammad PBUH married Aisha when she was only 9. A marriage contrast is only acceptable if taken by the bride and groom's consent. But how cou ld a 9-year-old be considered mature enough to give such a consent?aisha deeply loved the Prophet, but that's because she was so young.Many scholars say that this marriage was meant to prove that can marry a little girl if she is physically mature. What about her mind?there are narrations in which she is playing with dolls after marriage. And the narrations which report her age come from Al-Bukhari. Why does Islam permit such a marriage? Or what is the authenticity of such reports?

As-salamu `alaykum respected scholar, can you please help me solve my problem; why can I not read about acts of worship from hadith reported by Fatimah, Al-Hasan ibn `Ali and Al-Husayn ibn `Ali?Did our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say that they should be our teachers? I love Fatimah: she is one of the four best women. Where can we read about her teachings?

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.What are the conditions of actions in order to be acceptable and thus, rewarded by Allah?  Is it simply that you intend to follow the Qur'an and Sunnah, and therefore you will be rewarded even though you may have been wrong in your action? Or first you must have the sincere intention, but you also need to follow the correct Sunnah? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

The money I have is enough for me to either perform the obligatory Hajj or migrate from a non-Muslim country, where there is a great deal of nakedness, to a Muslim land. Now, which of the two should I choose? Please note that my parents are living in that non-Muslim country.

My husband and I were wanting to go for Hajj this year with my husband's parents who cannot physically afford to go by themselves.However,there are certain official duties that my husband  has to cater in his office during the Hajj month which puts us in a dilemma.Please,tell whether it is advisable to postpone hajj for a wordly obligation and can my husband give money to his brother to perform hajj with his parents if we khudanakhasta fail to go?

MISSED ISHA SALAAHAs salaamualaikum Dear Scholar, My question relates to Salaah. The usual protocol for missing a salaah (may Allah keep us steadfast in prayer) is to make up for it as soon as possible. If we sleep through fajr we are supposed to pray immediately after waking up and if dhuhr is missed it's prayed before we offer 4 rakats for asr. My question is if we miss Isha and wake up for fajr, is the same set of actions followed, i.e. do we pray the (missed) isha salah before offering the salaah for fajr or do we make up for the missed salaah at the time of praying isha the following day?. In a nut shell if  Isha salah is missed what is the prescribed time to make up for it if a person wakes up in time fajr the following day. May Allah grant you peace and blessings for guiding us (Aameen). Jazak-Allah!

Assalamu alaikum?here I am going to asked two questions I have in my mind. Please give me answers for it with help of Quran ayaths and hadiths.  1) I work in a place which is more than 500km away from home town. I stay there for two or three week and used to go to my home town for two days in weekends or any holidays. At that time I consider myself as Musafir and used to make my prayer Qasr. Because of that I don?t go to the mosque, as there it prayed full ,and I miss Jama? ath. My question is that which is better Jama?ath or making the prayer Qasr? 2) I work in a software company which makes software for Bank. Is it similar to supporting Riba? Jazzak Allah Hairan.

I am living in Abu DHabi, UAE.I have planned to get Car Loan from Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank. The bank claims that all its transactions are Islamic and they provide loan using a service called Murabaha (cost + benefit).1)  Is this type of Car Loan from ADIB Bank Halal or Haram?2) Does it fall under Mushabahat category (doubtful) or not?Please guide according to Quran and Sunnah.

i had a wet dream. but i didnt perform the ghusl immaediately. but i had the intention to do it. I continued with my daily task  as a result i forgot and did my prayers as usually until during my isyak prayers when i remembered. do i have to pay back the prayers?

Assalam.o.Alaikum, I just wanted to ask abt the usage of pirated softwares. Actually in my country, paistan, pirated games/softwares are available openly in shops on shelves etc. There is no proper action against it. So if i use it then the sin will fall on the authorities who are not taking proper action or will be sinful aswell.Any help would be highly appreciated.

Dear Scholar - Salam Aleykom - Please advise if working for the World Bank is permissible (Halal) or otherwise. As you may know, the World Bank is an international organization operating under the umbrella of the UN. Its main mandate is to fight poverty. It provides financial assistance to poor and middle income countries in the form of grants and sometimes loans based on interest fees payable over long durations (funding developmental projects). My work consists of providing assistance to team leaders in the supervision and implementation of  these developmental projects (health, education, NGOs ..etc). I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks.PS: if it turns out to be haram, does that mean that charities made out of my salary and the Haj I've performed using this money are all unaccepted?

Assalamu Alaikum..I have a 10 year old sister, and she's been asking some Islamic questions I haven't been able to answer very well..Her questions are:Is it true that when we give charity Allah gives us even more money?-To respond to this I said It's probably not good to give charity just so Allah could give us money. If we do it for Allah, then yes He'll give us money.. Dont know If this is the right answer or not but could you please correct me?The other questions I need help on are:How do people believe Jesus(a.s) as son of God and other idols like cows and maybe rocks.. In other words how do they end up believing in them when It is obvious that God has created them and only God can help them, and stuffDo non-muslims get deeds for discovering great things that benefit people (ex:  Thomas edison)?People are born muslim and when they get older they become Jewish or Christian because of their families.Why is it the kids fault, because they are non-muslim?In every religion people believe their religion is a true religion, and it happens to everyone that no body cares about researching: what if this isn't the right religion, let me research for the truth. If we did it may Allah forgive us but we may commit a big sin (this is my part, just trying to make it clearer)Also I was wondering(my question)..She will be in 6. grade next year, and not positive but she may get sex education next year(public school) I was wondering If we should tell her before she starts school and explain it in advance so she would be protected.. She is going in to such a fitna environment that I'm worried about her. She also asks when we're watching something males and females touch eachother not in an inappropriate way but like hold hands and stuff. She asks are boys and girls before marriage, allowed to touch each other? We say no, and she asks then why do they?These shows are meant to be Islamic (some that we watch) but unfourtunately most of the m are uncovered and we need to explain why they uncover and why they touch eachother.. I worry about she watching it sometimes but my parents say "nothing is wrong with it, there aren't kissing or other scenes"..and am not very good at communicating..Thank you-assalamu Alaikum

Dear scholars,assalamu Alaykum and thank you for this wonderful service.I have two questions:1. Is it permissible to pay donations using a credit card?2. I operate a technology blog (website) and have recently started allowing Google advertising to be displayed on it in return for monetary compensation.Is this permissible according to Islamic teachings? (The adverts on my website are linked to the topics I post about, hence technology, gadgets, computing, IT, web, etc.. I am only paid if a user clicks on an advertised link.)Thank you!

Dear Sheikh,I was told that a person may sprinkle water (do Nadh) on his underpants and private parts after every adhan and then do Wudu for each prayer and if any small urine drops come out it can be ignored and my prayer would be valid. I was told that this is a general Tayseer or "easy license" by the Sharia for anyone.also, that Umar Ibn Al Khattab had once been standing on the Mimbar and he was sure he felt urine drops on his Fakhd (upper legs); however, becau se he had followed this rule (by sprinkled water before his Wudu) he resumed the khutbah and prayer without renewing his Wudu.Please kindly inform me if this is correct. Can I follow this so that whenever I am sure I feel small urine drops come out during prayer I would not need to repeat my Wudu? I have been following this for some time and I want to ask if I can continue it.Thank you Sheikh.

1) Reason For War Between Caliph Ali (RA) AND Yazeed Bin Muawiyah?2) Reason For War Between Caliph Ali (RA) AND Ayesha (RA)?3) Yazeed Bin Muawiyah was a Sahabi OR No?

Assalaamu alaikum, Is it true that when ali (ra) was appointed for the role of the khalifa, he had opponents such as the prophets own wife A?isha and companions of the prophet Zubayr and Talha, who  joined forces with A?isha and had a long standing grudge agaist Ali? Did this then lead to them marching an army against Ali who defeated them at the battle of Jamal?

Repected Scholars of Islam, Assalumu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah;    I am a student in the U.S. and as you know, many places here serve pork. My question is, is it lawful to eat at these places. I ask this because most of the time the same person is handling the pork, for instance the one serving the food may touch pork, then touch the beef or chicken, then put his hand in the vegetables, etc. Also in restaraunts you do not even see what's going on in the kitchen, so sometimes i get paranoid that the food i order had come in contact with pork or someone handling pork. Is this being to extreme? Is it ok to eat anywhere as long as the food your eating is not pork or has not been cooked with pork? jazakAllah Kheiran and may Allah reward you for your works. And thanks in advance for an answer!

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.A large metropolitan area with a population of 100,000 Muslims has only 14 masjids. One of these masjids has been there for 20 years, functioning well — frequently full, but not overflowing. It is sufficient for the surrounding community. A group who control the largest masjid in another part of the town, and who have abundant resources, opened a new masjid or Islamic center only 3,000 feet from the existing masjid. Now, the frequenters have been divided approximately in half between the two masjids. The original masjid is now in a financially precarious position, as it relies heavily on fund-raising during Ramadan.Just a few miles away, there is another small town with thousands of Muslim inhabitants and no masjid at all. Those who established the new masjid had earlier been advised to build it at that town instead of the chosen place. This also involves political considerations of some groups and individuals, but I won't go into that, as I don't think it is relevant to the matter. The question is: Is the building of that second masjid lawful and rewardable or is it unlawful and sinful? There was definitely no capacity issue here and no need for another masjid. It has only served to divide one group of Muslims into two.

My wife will undergo operation in a hospital and it is clear that it will be risky for her to take her bath until the cut begins to heal. Should she perform tayammum if she has to pray? should she perform tayammum after mensuration for the period that she will not have to take a complete bath using water? If we fear that it will take up to 2 months before the wound heals can she perform tayammum for the two month's period?

My sister is getting engaged tomorrow inshallah. The boy is our cousin and we are very happy with the proposal, Alhamdulliah.The parents of the boy are requesting us to allow him to put the ring on her finger, which is not very common in our place.In view of our religion, I would like to ask if it is allowed for such requests to be granted.

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. Nowadays, it is quite noticed that a great deal of people set Qur'anic verses, supplications, or Adhan (call to Prayer) as mobile ringtones. What is the ruling on this act? Jazakum Allahu khairan.

Asalam o elecum,I love my wife and family; I have always controlled my anger and not said words that are not liked by Allah and forbidden by Prophet (SAW).My wife puts strange demands and fights over them. for example I don't like Sari, although my mother and many people in my family wears, but she keep insisting with anger and attitude and say stupid things and argue on it until when i would say of I agree.I expect her to agree and do as I tell her to do on simple basic things in life so that when children see her will eventually obey and agree with both of us.I have tried to provide her with all necessary and more comforts in the house, like maid etc to relief her from her chores. But All i request her and now expect her to be discipline in my children's life and my life. when I try to interfere in setting up the daily routines like waking up early etc and asking to wake up at fajr and stay awake to not delay children school, i am faced with attitudes and anger and unnecessary arguments.I am not a cool tempered person, and I keep reminding about what I told her to do before atleast 2-3 time and this thing bothers her; but when i stop saying about it, those thing disappear from her life. but I control my temper with her. it is becoming very difficult for me to live on a daily basis with such attitude.Kindly note that i didn't shop around to get married, and I didn't not do what others do,  I was seeking mercy from Allah for all my sins and married a girl from an average family i never knew or met or anyone recommend.One more argument that we always had. I wanted my children to first go to Arabic School, learn Arabic, memorize Quran like 2-3 years before going to international schools. She didn't agree and we end up sending our first daughter full time morning in international english/french / arabic school (no Quran hifz) and because of my enforcement she is also going to Arabic Madrasa in the evening for 2 hours. I thought I could convince anyone, but unfortunately i failed with my wife.I know that it is not her duty may be to cook for me; but I expect her to atleast tell me when she cannot cook so i could arrange, bring food; not to come home hungry and not find food and only bunch of complains.I thought these should have been easy things. I don't know I always wanted a smooth and simple life; willing to do extra with my existing family, but every attempt is simple turning negative. What should i do to improve my life.Remaining at Allah's disposal for any thing that please him.

As'salam Alaikum,Thank you so much for this service and I hope that Allah rewards you for it.I have 2 questions and they are pretty brief. 1st one is my husband and I were talking about if it is permissible in Islam to give a child two first names. When our son was born we gave him two first names Ayub Abdullah. And if it is permissible can you ive a child the name combination of Muhammed Abdelrahim?My second question is my husband and I have differences of opinnion about the covering of women's feet. I wear hijab Alhumdullah, and have been trying to do it correctly Incha-Allah. My husband believes that a woman has to cover her feet, but I do not think she does (ie sandles and flip flops). I have seen other women wear shoes that show the feet (sandles, ect), but my husband believes that it is not ok. What is correct?Thanks again for your guidence and help.

Respected scholars, as-salamu`alaykum.These days, there is great controversy about the Hanafi School of jurisprudence. It is known that this school has been around for a very long time, since about AH 95, and nobody ever had anything bad to say about it. Moreover, most of the greatest Muslim empires followed the approach of the Hanafi School of jurisprudence at an official level. Then, nowadays, it comes under attack by people saying that it is a bunch of baseless opinions, and that Abu Hanifah did not know much about Hadith. Please clarify the right in this regard.Jazakum Allahu khayran.

I want to know that can woman record her voice in voice mail so that caller can know ,like right person is unavailable & please call latter or leave your message we will call you later. Is it allow for girl please guide us in the light of Quran and sunnah.

Dear sheikhs, as-salamu `alaykum. Praise be to Allah, Muslims are growing so quickly and in great numbers, in all non-Muslim countries, especially inEurope. In France, and particularly in Marseille, Muslims are building a big mosque due to the increase of Muslims there, praise be to Allah. There is a charity assembly responsible for building this mosque.however, as you know, most European countries ban announcing the Adhan (call to Prayer) openly, and the Adhan is permitted only inside mosques, with claims of averting disturbance and annoyance. The assembly suggested using green rays to be sent out from the mosque's minaret when the Adhan is said. These rays will be quite seen during the night more than daytime. Muslim scholars differ on the permissibility of using these rays to inform about the time of Prayer. It is said that doing so is not permissible as it is classified as a bid`ah (innovation in religion), while others maintain that it is a permissible means of announcing the coming of Prayer time. Please clarify for us the right opinion in this regard.

Dear Shariah ScholarsI have 2 questions.I usually do salat on the street or in a class room,or in the hall way laying my face and hands on my coat with my shoes on. However someone told me I have to remove my shoes since they are dirty.Is it ok to salat with shoes on?Based on the Hadith it is better for men to get married or fast. Is it ok to for single Muslim male university students to fast is it better not to?Thank you

assalamo alaykom wa rahmatollahi wa barakatoh, please I have a very important question that I have been asked about the prophet ( PBUH ) but I didn't have the answer to  and I need a quick and convincing answer as to the truthfull way to approach the quest ioner who depends in his thinking on materialistic thinking and aethiest approches.the question was if the story of the angels cutting the chest of the prophet in his early childhood and taking his heart and washing it in a golden bowl with zamzam water saying that they removed from his heart the share of sheitan over him, is this a true story (I as a muslim always knew this story as a true one)? and what is the purpose of this incident and what was its impact, echos and consequences ? also if the answer is yes and it is a true story then according to the questioner, doesn't this make of sayyedona Mohammad (pbuh) a person that is pure and that have exceeded the human nature,i.e. he is not a normal human as the rest of us with the normal human nature (and nafs )of good and bad and thus can't be followed or imitated as he's already purified so he's not like the rest of us having the same quality of nafs that struggles between good and bad so this questioner means that it would be unfair or non realistic to ask muslims to follow him and take him as a role model and push themselves to do what he does since he has been specialezed by this incidence of removing the evil part from his heart?(salla Allah alayhi wa sallam)how can I answer this person in an answer that is not directed to muslims with a spiritual answer but an answer that deals with an aethiestic mind who questions only with his mind and I beg of you to give me a very good answer and way of approach on delivering the answer to this person but I need a quick answer as this person is leaving the country and I want to deliver the reply as soon as possible. Jazakom Allah kol kheir.

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.I am not Muslim, and I do not belong to any religion even. I have a friend that experiences the following problem, and I am asking on her behalf. My question is: If a woman suspects that she may be a lesbian (she has never fornicated with women, but she fancies women even though,). Sometimes, she wants to do so as well as other sexual stuff like kissing and touching. She likes to watch lesbian porn and women doing other sexual acts like kissing, touching, etc.If she gets married to a man, will her marriage be accepted by God or will God reject her marriage because of all the things listed above (she has never fornicated with a man or woman and she is still a virgin)? And if Allah accepts the marriage, if during marriage she still fancies women, wants to fornicate and do other sexual stuff with women, and watches lesbian porn and other haram stuff like women kissing, etc., what is the ruling then?Lastly, what if she stops watching lesbian porn but still wants to watch it? Will her marriage be cancelled because of these sensations? Will any of the above result in her marriage being invalid? If this doesn't make her marriage invalid and Allah will accept it, then what if any of the above things occurs during the marriage? Will this result in the marriage being cancelled out?

Dear scholar,assalamu alaikum. I am a university going student. I have many lady teachers. Will it be a major sin if I look at them and talk to them? In which way should I behave them or I should leave the university? JajakAllah.

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah. I have come across a report that nurses union in the Netherlands. It says that Muslims may not be suitable for nursing. I want to know the Islamic stance regarding Muslim females' working as nurses in non-Muslim countries, in light of the nature of the job of nursing, which may repeatedly oblige a nurse to reveal and touch male private parts.news says that Muslim nurses refrain from washing male patients' private parts. Do they have the right to do this? And what should they do? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Reverend scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. Does a menstruating woman experiencing a wet dream have to do ghusl (i.e., ritual cleansing of the body), or should that be during taharah (i.e., the state of purity)? Jazakum Allahu khairan.

Respected scholars of Islam, As-Salamu `alaykum. Is it permissible in Islam to marry a woman in order to get the green card in the USA or obtain a nationality of a Western country, taking into consideration that this marriage will be nominal? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.What is the ruling on going to a sheikh who is known for treating people with the Qur'an, but he would be alone with a woman while reciting ruqyah (Protective words of the Qur'an and the Sunnah) to her, and he may keep the woman in his house for a few days if her case requires that? I have been among women who have done so, but I felt deep regret and asked Allah's forgiveness and repented to Him.Jazakum Allah khayran.

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. Intimate relations between a husband and wife are private. What is the Shari`ah ruling on having an intimate relation with one's wife in an open place (a beach, forest, etc.) when no one other than the husband and wife is there. In other words, there is privacy but not in a room.
