Q: I have been recently hearing that it is against the sunnah for ladies to attend wedding functions, especially waleemahs. There are certain ideologies that believe women attending wedding functions is haraam altogether, and is not a sunnah: even if the functions are completely segragated and simple!

Kindly advise because I recently attended the weddings of 2 very religious relatives and everything was according to sunnah and within their means. Commenting on another religious Muslims efforts, calling them haraam, propagating women cannot attend waleemahs or wedding functions, isn't this an innovation? 

Q: I am a female lawyer. Is it permissible for me to work in Pakistan courts?

Q: In India we have all transactions through our bank accounts. Is it against taqwa to deposit money in the bank? I never use interest but distribute it to the poor. 

Q: There is an app I use to communicate with my cousins in another country called Hangouts and it has this square face in the profile every time a person sees a message or sends one. Can I send a message or not as I will be assisting in sin by making them see the square face? 

Q:

1. At the time of nikaah the husband said qubool and the witnesses heard it. Few years later, the wife asked her husband if he said qubool in the nikaah? The husband said "no". He said “no” jokingly and had no intention of divorce. Is there any problem?

2. If a divorce thought comes in the mind when touching a kinaya word of divorce, is there any problem? The husband did not utter the word, he just touched the word with his finger. 

Q: I wrote a divorce letter to my wife and signed it in the presence of a qazi and two persons. The qazi was about to send the letter within the next 3 days. I did it because she was caught red handed talking closely to a stranger over the phone. She was pregnant at that moment.

After two days, I thought I will give her one more chance to correct herself and stopped the letter and the letter was destroyed. I also informed the two persons that were present when I signed the letter and I started living with her. She gave birth to a baby girl one month ago.

I thought it was necessary to deliver the letter to her for the divorce to be effective. She still does not know about the letter.

Recently I asked an Imaam about it and he said that the divorce has occured even though my wife was not present and the evidence was destroyed.

My question is, is my marriage still valid? 

Q: I used to talk to a girl from my relatives. We decided to get married. At that time the girl lived at her grandfather’s house. I went there several times. The grandfather and the girl told me that the girl’s father gave the girl’s grandfather permission for her to get married. In 2017 nikaah was performed. Mehr was decided, witness were present, ijaab and qabool took place and the khutbah of nikaah was performed. The girls parents did not know about the nikaah.

Once nikaah was done, we meet twice and we were alone in the house. Now I want to complete the rukshati. I want to know if this nikaah is valid or not? 

Q: I told my wife that you are free from my side. That time I was a bit angry, not much but little angry due to a fight that occured between us. I had no intention of divorce, but I heard that even if a person has no intention of divorce but is angry, then divorce will take place with kinaya words. Will that consitute talaaq immediately?

Q: I sometimes think how Allah Ta'ala will be and where he is. Is thinking about Allah in this way shirk? I am not talking about His origin but I am talking about his presence and knowing Him.

Q: My bedroom has big mirrors on the walls and cupboards. Is it permissible to have intimacy with my wife in front of the mirrors?
