Q: I recently started learning how to do balloon decorations and someone asked me to make some decor for their birthday party and my mom agreed without me giving consent first.
I am well aware that we are not allowed to celebrate birthdays and I do NOT intend on celebrating nor attending this birthday party. Am I allowed to make the balloon decorations for this person with the intention of not celebrating with them?
Q: A very concerning matter facing us here in the UK and I believe in many countries. The matter is that some ladies have opened a door of going around place to place to give bayaans. They become speakers and attend as well as put together conferences where they attract audiences based on their skills in language and the ability to deliver an entertaining talk.
Some of them podcast on social media for everyone to listen to. Men have full access to listen to them live or to the saved video recordings. Some of them do so in niqaab and some without.
This oratory by these women has become very appealing to young girls who see this as a goal to achieve in their spiritual growth.
These women openly encourage other ladies to do the same and as a result there are teams of such ladies going around almost like shaikh and mureeds. They attract big followings and people are being misled to believe that the sahabiyaat use to also lecture and advise men in the matters of deen.
They lure young girls with the snare of online quran classes and then lead them to the same desire to be lecturers and hold their own conferences. This has also become a business in the name of deeni efforts. This looks very attractive to modern muslim families that their wives and daughters are getting some kind of exposure to deeni knowledge and it is also very convenient in keeping them busy and as it is said rather keep them off the streets.
Women and girls are also attracted through emotional activities of social and welfare work. In most cases the harms are not immediately apparent.
Should innocent families be warned about this? To what extent should women be allowed to have these kind of lecture conferences? How should people be made aware ? Will appreciate your guidance on this matter

Q: Today salafisim is common. So I have a question.
Many a time hadith are quoted to prove an action or say its incorrect.
Is the Hadith alone sufficient or is the decision the fuqaha made on the Hadith combined more important because one Hadith out of context can lead a person into great fitnah?
Q: My wife recently had some interaction with female members of her family. Alhamdulillah, as we practice strict purdah and she remains at home, she was giving her female cousins Targheeb along these lines.
One of her cousins is an Aalimah and then quoted the Ayat of Quran Shareef commanding the Azwaaj-e-Mutaharaat to stay at home, and then explained that this Ayat referred only to them and was not applicable to the women of today.
My wife explained that the fitnah is far worse today and our piety cannot even be compared to their chastity and purity, but the “Aalimah” persisted saying that this is Quran and you cannot infer restriction on everyone when it is referring only to a select group.
Please can Mufti saheb provide guidance with some proof, more for our itminaan than anything else.
