Q: My wife and I have been separated for a year now, however in the start of 2024 we had a fight about my behaviour as I was battling drug addiction and my mental health was in question. During this fight I said talaaq 3 times and under the influence of drugs and not knowing the facts about Islam I said talaq 3 times. 

My wife forgave me after and we continued having a physical relationship. I love my wife and I am a revert into Islam as I wanted us to have stability and live according to the codes and morals of Islam. 

My wife is not a bad person. She just wants the best for me. I wish to sort my marriage out and seek assistance in becoming a better Muslim, a better husband and father.

Q: If someone made a vow to not do a sin and that if he did the sin from start to finish he would give in charity R100. For each time he did it he would give R100 and if he did the sin multiple times, he'll give R100 for the 1st time. Will he have to pay another R100 for every time after that or not since the vow had been broken. Will the charity be necessary for every time after the 1st time?

Q: If a wallet was touched with impure hands and a person keeps that wallet in their pocket and performed salaah with it, what is the validity of their salaah? 

I’m not sure what the impurity was as a few years ago it would be difficult to control impurities and most of the things I touched would become impure. I did wash/wipe the wallet but I’m not sure how long after that was.

Q: 

1. If a women bleeds for seven days and 23 and a half hours then that's her habit? 

2. If a woman thought that only red blood was haiz, so at the times when she had brown discharge she didn't note it down as days of haiz, then how must she count her Haiz days in the following case if she had a full 15 days of Tuhr thereafter she saw a brown discharge, and thereafter red blood but she is unsure whether or not she had a full 15 days of Thur in between the brown discharge and the red blood, then must she count her haiz days from the time of the brown discharge or from the time when she saw red blood?

Q: Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "If anyone recites (the surah) Haa Meem ad-Dukhan in the night, then he will wake up in the morning with seventy thousand angels seeking forgiveness for Him." (Mishkat 2149) 

Now is this virtue for every night or specific to Friday night that is from Thursday Maghrib to the starting time of Fajar of Jumu'ah?

Q: Is it permissible to sell toys or clothing that are replicas of the original brand but not the original brand itself, if the original brand has copyright protection? 

For example, selling a motorcycle toy replica with the Kawasaki branding on it or selling an Adidas top replica with the Adidas branding on it.

Q: My son will be traveling to Georgetown, Cape Town, and Johannesburg from 19th June to 1st July 2025, إن شاء الله. I would be grateful if you could kindly advise on how he can ensure the consumption of halaal food during his stay.

Specifically, is it sufficient to rely on the word of a Muslim in those cities (such as a waiter or staff member at a restaurant or hotel or any Muslim) who claims that the food is halaal? Or should he look for formal halaal certification or other signs of reliability? 

Alternatively, should he just restrict himself to eating fish, eggs, vegetables, and lentils in case there is no guarantee in those cities?

Q: I have a question regarding milk parents. 

I was conceived by my biological parents with the intention of being adopted by my aunty (fathers sister) as she hadn’t had any children with her husband for 11 years. 

When I was born, I was adopted and grew up in another city with my (new) milk parents. From small I was told about my adoption so it wasn’t something shocking to me. 

I grew up knowing my siblings and visiting my biological parents often, but my milk parents were like my real/main parents and my biological were like my aunty and uncle. 

Now that I’m older and married and my siblings are also older and married and I’m staying in the town I grew up with my biological parents. I hadn’t been there as much and made the khidmat owed to my biological parents. 

My biological parents said multiple times that I should treat my milk parents as my real ones and that they (the biological ones) hold no haq over me. I asked my shaikh what to do and he says that shariah is above everything and that their words or emotions don’t govern what the actual rights to them are. 

So my question is who holds more right over me, the milk parents who raised me or the biological parents who bore me? 

When it comes to khidmat or instruction, who holds more weight? 

And lastly, if they excuse me from khidmat what does it mean?

Q: My wife and I have been trying to fall pregnant for a few years now with no success, and after visiting a number of doctors, we've been advised that our only option going forward is to do an ICSI procedure. 

Is this procedure permissible in Islam?

Q: Nowadays if we buy a phone which is 1000 dollars and if I buy with monthly EMI of 110 dollars for one year. This additional charge of 100 dollars is permissible in Islam? Is the 100 dollar considered haraam?
