Q: I am a student and working part time. I want to know that if I work in a place where pork and wine etc are sold and I would have to deal with these things, is it permissible in a non-Muslim country? In addition, I have tried my best to find a job that does not involve this stuff but either the pay rates were far below the minimum wage rate or I had no experience of that work.
Q: I signed a single talaaq paper but did not inform my wife. Before signing, a few days before, I told my wife not to tell a lie and if she lies from now on, talaaq will happen and she lied again. I did not send the single talaaq notice to her as the address was incorrect on the deed, later while making a correction in the divorce deed we mentioned "triple talaaq" and again I signed this deed and sent the notice to her. All this happened within a month and she was at her parents house, we also had marital relations while she stayed with me in my house. I want to know how many talaaqs happened? If the total count is two (by considering triple talaaq as one) what do I do to take her back as my wife. Today is her 90th day of iddah.
Q: Basically in school we have a special prayer room that we had got for praying zuhr at lunchtime. The imaam is my younger brother who is a Hafiz. There were some brothers that used to lead but now its my brother because its more of his right as he is a hafizul quran and then a few days ago subhanallah while we were praying with jamaat they made there own jamaat right next to us. I think its a matter of the person wanting to lead as I know he is not a hafiz and doesn't have a beard so its not exactly his right to lead. My question is what can I say to the brothers that made there own while our jamaat has commenced? When there are a group of people how does one choose a certain person to lead as I heard there are certain conditions?
Q: My husband and I fight a lot where he threatens to send me back to my parents home. Recently while fighting he said he doesn't want me anymore and he's tired of me. So after much arguing, I asked him if we married, yes or no. His answer was no. Does this go as a talaaq?
Q: According to ISIS, burning someone to punish him is permissible. They quote the scholar Ibn Hajar that it is permissible to burn. The Prophet branded two men from Uraynah with a branding iron. Is this authentic?
Q: What is the correct time for qailoolah? If a person rests even before zawal e.g. 11 am, would this also be considered qailoolah?
Q: If there is najasat on the hand and it touched the wall but it's not possible to wash the wall. Will wiping it with a wet cloth three times suffice?
Q: I have been told that if, for example one reads surah Nasr in the first rakaat, then in the next rakaat one cannot read surah Ikhlaas. One must recite the surah immediately thereafter or there should be at least a gap of two surahs. Please clarify this rule for me (e.g., does it apply only to short surahs? Does it apply to a 4 rakaat salaah as well?)
Q: If a person recites from the middle of one surah in one rakaat and thereafter leaves out a few aayaat and continues reciting from the same surah in the second rakaat, will the Salaah be valid?
Q: Will it be makrooh if a person recites a few aayaat from the end of one surah in the first rakaat and recites a complete surah in the second rakaat of a fardh Salaah (e.g. the end of surah Baqarah in the first rakaat and surah Ikhlaas in the second rakaat)?
