Q:

1. When I am intimate with my wife, we sometimes face the qiblah while kissing, hugging, rolling on bed, etc. But we are nude and we face the qiblah. Though we try to avoid it sometimes. Is is a sin to face the qiblah when nude, whether from the front side or back.

2. Although we know that we should put a sheet over ourselves while being intimate but sometimes knowingly we do it without a sheet and towards the qiblah. Are we sinning? We know that while relieving oneself one should not face the qiblah and we don’t do it while relieving.

Q: I am a Sunni Muslim girl and I got a marriage proposal from a Shia friend of mine. I wanted to know if I can marry him.

Some of the things I would like to mention about him is that his family doesn’t do shirk in a way that they don’t put anyone else at Allah’s place like most of the other Shia’s do.

Secondly, we’ll do the sunni nikaah and my Uncle is an Aalim so he will read our nikaah. They don’t curse or say anything bad to our beloved Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu), Hazrat Abu Bakar (radhiyallahu anhu) and Hazrat Usman Ghani (radhiyallahu anhu).

Kindly tell me if I can marry him and what conditions should there be if I haven’t mentioned them already here.

Q: The woman I love is non-Muslim. I don't use the word love lightly. I understand my love for Allah Ta'ala is greater. But I have not found it in me to marry anyone else.

I have been presented with many opportunities to marry a Muslim woman however my heart hasn't allowed me to do it and I don't think it's fair to marry someone without giving her my all.

I have spent the last 4+ years wrestling with my emotions and turning to Allah Ta'ala for guidance and I am at the end of my rope.

I know I can't ask the woman to convert to Islam just to marry me as that would not fulfill the requirements. I can't find it in me to marry anyone else and in doing so I feel I will not be commited to the relationship (I don't mean I will be unfaithful in any way). What should I do?

Q: Can Allah Ta'ala speak like us? Does Allah Ta'ala have hands, eyes, face, etc. like us? I have read many times in the Quraan that Allah Ta'ala spoke to Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) and with Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in Miraaj. Kindly clear these questions.

Q: I have a problem of discharge coming out every now and then. Its like I'll make ablution and come for prayer my wudhu breaks... Sometimes even before starting prayer... Other times right in the middle of prayer...

How can I perform tawaaf in this case as it will be very difficult or even if I go out to such places wherein it is difficult to clean the discharge... Will it be permissible to put tissue or cotton wool to prevent the discharge from coming out just for the purpose of keeping wudhu?

Q: I'm a Jew from Israel. I want to take shahaadah.
