Surnames

Halaala

Q: As per law of Shariah, divorce happened between me and my husband as he said talaaq thrice. Now he wants me back. What is the proper way of halaala?

Hadith question

Q: I ask if the 'Ulama could kindly provide a reference for the following: "There was a Sahaabi (radhiyallahu ‘anh) who had some cracks on his feet and as a form of treatment in that time he applied saffron to the cracks. When Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saw this he refused to greet this Sahaabi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) until he washed it."

Stray thoughts

Q: Please advise me. I always think that I am a faasiq and my family and other people around (we are in Nigeria) if I see how other Muslims live in other countries which is not possible here. I have once attempted suicide and I am still thinking of it although I am afraid of it, please help me.

Suspended talaaq

Q: My question is regarding divorce. My daughter wants to get married to her cousin but my husband is completely against it. Last year he said in anger that if they do nikaah, our nikaah will be broken. Now he has realised he should not have said that and has said that that statement does not count anymore. If my daughter gets married to this boy will our nikah still be broken or is there a way out?
