Q: I was told that it was stated in a certain shaykhs bayaan that during the period when wahi was stopped, Nabi (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) became despondent and wanted to commit suicide. According to my (ignorant) knowledge, I can never associate the mubarak countenance of Nabi (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) with that of someone wanting to take his own life. Please clarify as the possibility of me being incorrect is very likely.

Q: I have a question that a brother and sister both have passed away. Their parents have left behind two properties in India. One full property and other has only ground floor given to them as a part from their share as waqaf-ul-aulad. (Other first floor and second floor went to other cousins from their mother side.) Brother has a son and four daughters. And sister has two sons. What shares exactly be given to all children of both brother and sister when that will be sold, as both have passed away. Brother has helped a lot in raising his sister's sons after his sister passed away years ago. Also what share for the wife of the brother who is still alive?

I want to be happy in my life so what should I do? Please help me.

Q: By the grace of Allah, we built a house. We need a good name for it and Shar'iee guidance when moving into the new house.

Q: What is the meaning of the name Sabeeha with the letter س (seen, not swaad)? I am thinking of keeping this name because it is easier to pronounce than the name with swaad.

Q: 

1. What are the Shar'iee conditions in order for the slaughter to be valid in Shari'ah?
2. Are machine cut chickens Halaal in Shari'ah? If Halaal, what are the Shar'iee laws governing this mas'ala? Similarly explain that if the machine slaughters many chickens at one time, what is the shar’ee ruling regarding the meat?
3. I wish to inquire about the scalding process at the chicken factories. The slaughtered chickens are immersed (whilst still bleeding with the intestines, impurities etc.) into a hot water tank for softening the feathers etc. This water is filthy and some of the impurities are possibly absorbed into the flesh. Approximately 500 to 700 birds at a time could be in this hot water at
   any point in time, where it remains for approximately 5 minutes. How does this process affect the status of the meat? Does the meat remain halaal or does it become makrooh or haraam for Muslim consumption?
4. We are in the process of opening an abattoir in our area to provide halaal meat and facilitate the needs and requirements of the Muslim community. We would be grateful if you could guide us in this regard.  If there are any other issues in relation to the masaail of slaughter, apart from the above mentioned three questions, we would be appreciative if you could also apprise us regarding it?

Q: I have a bank account. The monthly service fee is R169. There is an option, if a balance of R10 000  is maintained for everyday of the month they will give me a rebate in return depending on the balance. e.g. If the balance is R40 000,the rebate is R65. Will it be permissible to take this option? I am asking because I see it as a way of paying less bank charges.
