Q: Reports are coming in that 558 people have converted to Islam during the Qatar World Cup so far. Some are using this as an argument to say that what they are doing is a good thing by hosting the tournament as it’s bringing people closer to Islam. They say that they’ve invited Islamic speakers (Dr. Zakir Naik) and have put up posters of Ahaadith and Azan on loudspeakers which will bring people to Islam (as shown by recent shahadahs).

Kindly comment on this.

Q: I am a young mom and don't work because of my little one. My husband isn't earning much so I recently started a business from home to at least fullfil my own needs. I sell online women's western clothes like skirts, cropped tops, jeans, etc.

I invested some money in it (my small savings I had) but the other day a thought came to my mind if it's halaal to sell such kind of clothes. Having said that most of my customers are Christians. Can you please help me if it's okay to sell such clothes to non-Muslim women?

Q: Would it be permissible for a father to state that he will pay his daughter’s zakaat till she gets married and then discharge it for as long as she isn’t married without informing her. Or would he have to inform her every year at the time that he is discharging it?

Q: My father distributed his estate during his lifetime. The following questions come to mind:

1. If it was given away in his lifetime, was it necessary to give the brothers double share and if it was done like this, is this valid in shariah?

2. His house was given to my mother with specific instructions to give it to my brother so that in does NOT go into her estate upon her demise. Was this correct?

Q: Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) instructed us Muslims to give salaams to those whom we know and those whom we don't know (among the Muslims). How will we know the individuals we are giving salaam to are Muslims or not since we don't know them? Do we just assume that they are Muslims by looking at their clothing, their professions (halaal butcher) or any signs that would be hint of their faith or do we just ask them before giving them salaam?

Q: What is the ruling with regards to the share of a deceased who was in a partnership with his/her siblings, or anyone else for that matter?

1. Do the heirs of the deceased automatically become partners in the business?

2. Are the living partners under any obligation to make the heirs of the deceased, partners in the partnership?

3. Does the partnership seize on the demise of a partner? If so, what are the heirs entitled to, and how should the living partners ensure that the heirs receive their due?
