Q: On a recent tour of the UK a certain aalim posed for a photo with Amir Khan, a boxer, who participates in a Haraam music-promoting sport, and whose satr is exposed due to his profession. This nakedness would particularly be the case at weigh-ins before bouts where, I believe boxers would strip down to just their underpants. All this is in the name of winning the hearts of dunya celebrities so that they come on to Deen and start doing the work of Dawat and Tabligh. This irks my conscience as I cannot imagine that Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would condone the sins of a man by posing with him in a photograph in order to win his heart and spread love. Furthermore, allows himself to be videoed in a Masjid during his talks. Women attend at night, in many cases without their Mahrams. It is naive to think that Maulana doesn't know this happens in a country like UK. Is there any justification whatsoever in Shariah for this aalims actions?

Q: A man's been trying hard for a job for sometime. He attends interviews with his kurta, adamantly maintaining that success lies in following the dress of Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), even if that means he has to go hungry, yet his spouse and family implicate that he is affecting his chances of obtaining a job because of the impression it creates. What advice would you tender to assist the man in this case and give him strength from the inevitable doubts created in his mind by his family?
