Parents of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)

Q: Is the father and mother of Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in hell as they were non Muslims and idol worshippers? If not, what this hadith says? I am sure we cannot reject it.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيْنَ أَبِي قَالَ ‏"‏ أَبُوكَ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا قَفَّى قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَبِي وَأَبَاكَ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ 

‏Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani) صحيح (الألباني) حكم :

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) visited the grave of his mother and wept, causing the people around him to weep. Then he said: ‘I asked my Lord for permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not give me permission. Then I asked my Lord for permission to visit her grave and He gave me permission. So visit the graves, for they will remind you of death.’”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ زَارَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَبْرَ أُمِّهِ فَبَكَى وَأَبْكَى مَنْ حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي وَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي فَزُورُوا الْقُبُورَ فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Avoiding problems

Q: There are musallees who are repeatedly making attempts to overthrow my father from his position as a musjid trustee who has been doing most of the good work single handedly, now I see my friends who I trust that are joining those musallees and claiming that they want to assist my father. I feel uncomfortable in their presence when I go for salaah because I know that some of them have negative feelings towards me and my father. How do I approach this situation as I want go to musjid without ill feelings towards them?

Paying back money owed to people

Q: I'm going to be as precise as possible. We are all humans, but I'm a Muslim too. From childhood I may have taken/borrowed someone's money and never returned it back. Like I ask Mom to give me 100 I'll pay u back, but I don't, or I go to a store and the bill is 12 rupees and I pay 10, I say I'll pay u 2 more next time but then I don't coz I literally forget. I mean I even stole money from my mom n dad a few times, it caused fights but I never got caught. But now as I know that I'm mature enough and I repent what I did intentionally or unintentionally I want to pay back every single person I stole money from or borrowed it or just forgot to pay back. The problem is I have 0 to no clue that how much money I actually owe and to whom. Please help me. I give donations and stuff in the name of Allah but I still fear I might still owe people. I'm fully aware that my sharing this question with you is making you a witness of my sins but please don't judge, I'm only trying to seek help and Allah's Forgiveness. What should I do?

Revoking a talaaq

Q: I have said to my wife on telephone call "that I divorce you". This is the first time I said this.

1: Can I take back my divorce without intercourse as she is in a different country and we cant meet now? So can I take back verbally only?

2: My wife is a doctor, so during iddat can she work as a Doctor in her country?

3: Me and wife live in seperate countries so can she do her iddat in her own country or is it necessary that she lives with me during iddat?
