Q: A week ago my wife and I were having a huge fight over email. With anger I emailed her the following but had no intention of even stating talaaq. Insha Allah you can provide me with the best explanation. “You said the only way you can have your life back is by me giving you your talaaqs then you got it”. Mufti this is what was said and I did not intend or mean it, I was really angry with previous messages I received from he. I would like your feedback as soon as possible.
Q: I personally feel so guilty when I eat good foods and wear good clothes and live according to my comforts when I see those African kids dying of hunger and thirst. Will Allah Ta'ala ask us about them? What should be our policy in this matter? I mean can we eat and wear what Allah Ta'ala has given us or we should live very zaahidana life and feed those hungry people? I can't be peaceful and eat and drink when I see those hungry people who are near to death but how can I feed them all. Please mufti saheb advise me in this regard what should be the stance that I should adopt. Has Allah Ta'ala made lot of people struck in poverty to test people those who are well off?
Q:
1. If I told someone that I will give you this dress, that person didn't say anything, can I change my decision and keep the dress for myself?
2. I told a person that I will give you something but that person said he does not need it, but I insisted on him to accept the offer and he somehow agreed, then later I thought in my mind that maybe that person really don't need my thing so well I will give it to some other person then, so can I change my decision like this?
Q:
(A) I had a shower at night. I washed my slippers and feet whilst in the shower.
(B) Then I went out of the house for just over 2 hours wearing the same slippers. When I returned home it is most likely that, by that time, my slippers were dry.
(C) I then got in to the sleeping bag, which I have borrowed from my parents home and which I am using at my house. At the time I went to sleep in the sleeping bag it is most likely that my feet were dry. At the time of sleeping, I thought to myself, when I wake up in the morning I must wash my feet and slippers again as a precautionary measure.
