Q: During the time of the Sahaba there was a girl who's husband had gone out for a few days and asked her not to leave the house. During those few days, the girl's father was sick and she really wanted to see him but had no contact with her husband to ask his permission. Eventually her father passed away and she didn't even attend his funeral as she couldn't disobey her husband's orders. She later found out that her father was doomed to Jahannum but because of her act of obeying her husband, her father was granted Jannah. Is this story true? What is the full story? Would it be a sin to tell anybody this story if it is not authentic?
Q: I am a follower of the Shaafi'i mazhab. In our musjid, which is mainly Shaafi'i the Somalian brothers will join a masbooq who has missed a few raka'ats and they will then follow the masbooq as if he is the Imaam.
1. Is this correct? If yes how should it be done.
2. What should you do if you are the masbooq and someone taps your shoulder or just joins your Salaah to follow you? Your input in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Q: Is it permissible to use the reverse cameras that come with new cars, i.e. when reversing it shows on the screen what is behind. One mufti said this is permissible because it is not recording. That would open up the doors for a lot of videoing?
