Q: A friend of mines had a question about marrying a person who is a shia and willing to follow and raise the children as Sunni:

My question is that I want to marry this girl but she is Shia, if the girl is willing to marry me, raise our family and follow the Sunni way as my parents want is it gunaah or forbidden to marry a Shia if they do not convert? Her parents would accept me as a Sunni they just would not want her to convert but she will follow the Sunni way and also raise our chidlren sunni. Please keep in mind we have not talked to our parents about this situation yet and please give me some guidance as I do not want to go against anyone's parents. The only thing we have done so far is complete the isthikara which came out good alhumdulillah.

I did Istikhara for 7 days:

Istikhara: first night dream: He saw in his dream he was taking a picture of the girl and his family together like a group photo.

On the fifth night he did istikhara he had a dream where he saw lots of trees and her in a white shalwr kameez coming to his house accompanied by her little brother.

1. Is it gunna or forbidden to marry a Shia if they do not convert?

2. Is their a conversion process from Shia to Sunni? What does a Shia person have to do to become Sunni?

Q: Is fxcm.com halal or haram. It is forex. 

This is what you do in forex, buy 1 usd dollar when it is equal 2 euro dollar and sell it when it is more than 2 or equal to 3 usd dollars.

For example: I bought when it was like this, 1 USD = 2 EURO. I will sell when it becomes 1 USD = 3 EURO or more than 2 EURO.

So is it halaal or haram? Can you tell me why is it halaal or haram, and also say at the end of your answer, this "It is halaal" or "it is haram" so I can understand clearly.

Q: There are several venues for Taraweeh. Masjids as well as madressah classrooms and several homes. The madrasah classroom taraweeh is performed by hufaaz students with two senior hufaaz. This jalsa comprises of approximately total 15/20 people with a few adults present. This weekend the Madrassah taraweeh jalsa was going to be cancelled because there were insufficient huffaz as most of them decided to go out in jamaat. Fortunately a senior haafiz stood in to help correct the only 2 huffaaz left who read 10 rakaats each. Is it correct for the huffaz to be going out in jamaat and this in turn would cancel their taraweeh jalsa in the Madrassah? Is it correct what they had done?

Q: Nowadays Muslims and non Muslims clap their hands. It has become a norm in society, if we are listening to a speech of a non Muslim or a Muslim in a public hall where non Muslims are also present and they all clap hands after a good speech. Will it be permissible to join them clapping hands, because if we don't clap the hands they assume that we didn't like the speech and then looked down upon?

Q: My future husband has been has been getting this dream. I am worried as it is troubling him and he has confided in me only about it. It started when he helped his young cousin who had gotten involved with a boy and this boy would not leave her alone. My fiancé intervened and removed all access this boy had to this girl without threatening him or causing any drama. But now he has been having this dream where "he and his cousin are in a speeding in a bakkie and theres a guy on the side step of the bakkie, and as this guy lifts and swings his hand, he cuts my fiancés cousins face. My fiancés proceeds by grabbing his cousin and pushing her on her side to protect her while fighting with this estranged person, whose pulling him out the window. He says the last thing before he wakes up in a shock is seeing a tyre coming straight towards his head." His cousin is a bit of a troubled teen but alhumdullilah my fiancé is helping her and Insha Allah she will come right. I just want to no if its a dream to worry over or maybe its something else in which his subconscious is trying to warn him about.
