Q: I’d like to know if the following fatwa is authentic which I found on a Hanafi website.
“If a person holds two persons as witness, before saying these words, that he does not intend issuing talaaq and he is only saying these words on his wife's persistence, then talaaq will not be effective.”
Q: Could Mufti Saheb kindly advise if women are allowed to wear rings of stone.
Alhamdulillah I have learnt that women are not allowed to wear rings of different metals besides gold or silver. But, are women allowed to wear rings completely made of jade, agate, other stones or possibly, other materials such as plastic?
Q: I read in one of your fatwas that if a person is unable to pray standing in a plane and therefore prays seated, they must repeat the salah later on. Is this because
* The first salah was invalid - so that they should intend qada when they repeat it?
* Or was the first salah valid (i.e. fulfilled the fard) and the second one just a repetition of it in a more perfect manner?
Q: I would like to enquire about the Hadith of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) regarding the curse of cutting 2 lengths of hair.
Q: Can a person make umrah for a living person?
Q: There are people who throw umbrellas, water bottles, shoes, etc. at the jamaraat. Please comment on this practice. Some say "Masha Allah" and praise those who do so.
Q: One day I had an argument with my wife about something and it got so bad that I got angry and used the word divorce. However, after some time, the anger subsided that same day and we both made peace. Is our marriage valid? If yes, what is the atonement for it? And if not, what is the solution?
Q: I have seen previous questions, about whether purchasing extended warranties which are a separate line item at the time of purchasing a product, are haraam.
Please advise if it is permissible to sell the same item, at different price points but the higher price point has a longer warranty? The warranty is not a separate line item.
Q: I remember hearing in Fazaail Sadaqaat that one can eat doubtful food if ones parents give it so they don't feel bad. Can I practice on this and does not knowing if a certain non certified item's ingredients count as being doubtful?
Q: I sponsor a Hifz Orfan which means I sponsor a child to become a Hafiz and to get an education and to have healthy meals throughout the day but the charity I do it through which is called Penny Appeal has links to Shia Islam.
I googled Penny Appeal and it says 'Penny Appeal is a non-denominational international humanitarian organization and does not identify as exclusively Shia or Sunni'. It also says 'Penny Appeal serves beneficiaries from all backgrounds regardless of religious affiliation'. So the children I sponsor could be Shia or Sunni or they could be Shia when they hit puberty. So what shall I do? Shall I cancel the donation or keep it going?
