Q: I heard that when the Azaan goes for Jumuah Salaah, then it is not permissible to do anything but proceed for jumuah or make wudhu or fardh ghusl. 

Is it permissible to go for a sunnat ghusl after the Azaan starts? Will it depend on whether one is smelling or not?

Q: I have a question regarding the ruling on yellow clothing for men. 

Some hadith mention the Prophet ﷺ forbidding garments dyed with yellow saffron (muʿaṣfar), while other discussions mention yellow clothing in general. Could you please clarify: 

1. Is the prohibition specific to garments dyed with yellow dyes such as saffron or wars? 

2. Or does it apply to any garment that is completely yellow, regardless of how the color was produced? 

3. According to the Hanafi madhhab, what is the ruling for Muslim men: haram, makruh tahrimi, makruh tanzihi, or permissible? 

4. Does the ruling differ between plain yellow clothing and clothing that is only partly yellow? 

Q: Is it permissible for a female to remove cowlicks on her eyebrows?

Q: Is it permissible for a woman to perform salaah with her niqaab on if she is in public?

Q: I work as a teacher at a Madrasah. The Madrasah has a tuckshop. When I buy from the tuckshop, the shopkeeper (an elderly Moulana) allows me to take what I want to buy and pay the money directly to the till. In fact, he told me to do this once or twice. There is no loss to the tuckshop in my doing this. Generally, the shopkeeper doesn't even know what I bought since I paid directly to the till. Is this permissible?

Q: I intend to enter into a Mudhaarabah agreement as a Mudhaarib, kindly advise me if the below transaction between the Mudhaarib and Rabbul maal is permissible: 

1. The Mudhaarib will rent out space of the Rabbul Maal's warehouse at a set price/sqm. 

2. The Rabbul Maal will facilitate the picking and packing of products in the warehouse for a cost per carton. the above arrangements will be structured as three separate contracts: 

 The Mudhaarabah agreement. 
 A separate Ijaarah (rental) agreement for the warehouse space. 
 A separate Ijaarah (service) agreement, whereby the Rabb-ul-Maal undertakes the picking and packing for an agreed fee. 

The following conditions will be observed: 
 The Mudhaarabah capital (Ra-sul-Maal) will first come under the full control and possession of the Mudhaarib. 
 The Mudhaarib will retain full discretion over the management of the Mudhaarabah business and will remain at liberty to rent any other warehouse and engage any other service provider. His choice to utilize the Rabb-al-Maal's warehouse and services will arise only through separate Ijaarah agreements and will not result in the Rabb-al-Maal effectively retaking control of the Mudhaarabah assets or operations. 
 The rental and service fees will be fixed and known, and will represent genuine consideration for those services rather than a means of guaranteeing a return to the Rabb-ul-Maal.

Q: A few brothers have decided that in Fajr and Esha they will complete the Holy Quraan throughout the year reading approximately 3 sides per Salah in a masjid which gets about 200 musallis. Is this a good idea?

Q: During Isha, I stood up from the 1st rakaat and said “attahiy”, then I paused and corrected myself and began reciting Fatiha. Is my prayer valid?

Q: I do not have cash on hand, but I wish and request my heirs and executors of my estate to continue with my donations and qurbaanies after my demise. 

Presently I receive income from different sources. Some quarterly/ some bi- annually/ some annually. 

The main income will begin after my demise. I will Insha Allah receive a monthly income for the next ten years (i.e. 120 months). 

I make a bequest of just ten percent of my gross income to charities and qurbaanies etc. 

After my demise, whenever any money is received, ten percent is to be separated and accumulated and then distributed, mainly in Ramadhaan, Eidul Adha, and whenever funds permit (mainly to building projects/extensions/renovations etc. of mosques/madressas etc. Surplus funds can also be distributed to needy family members, religious institutes etc. as per executors discretion. Is this okay?
