Q: Mufti sahib, you had previously issued a ruling stating that 'diyat' is not applicable in the case of homicide in a non-muslim country based on the reasoning that the decision of a qādhi is necessary for it to be implemented. I have come across the following text in 'badaai'-us-sanaai' under the chapter فصل في الأحكام التي تختلف باختلاف الدارين, ويضمن الدية خطأ كان أو عمدا وتكون في ماله لا علي العاقلة ... This ibaarat suggest that diyat is compulsory even in darul-kufr. I would appreciate Hazrat Mufti sahib's guidance in this matter.

Q: A few years ago I made a promise that I would not have a certain food and drink until I got married but a few months ago I felt that Allah does not need me to stop eating and drinkig for a fulfilment of a need but rather I should do dua and other optional deeds. So I first gave money towards the poor (kaffara) and re-started eating what I had stopped but I am not sure if I should have done this. If not, please let me know what I should do now?

Q: I miss 7 fasts every year in Ramadan due to periods. I did keep some qaza fasts but I don't remember how many. I had the intention to keep all but my health was always weak.

Q: I have made a niyat to Allah Ta'ala and now I am unable to stick to it. I want to make some changes in that niyat. Is it possible to do so? I have heard that Sahaabah (Companions of Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam)) sometime in their lives broke kasams or niyat and paid kafaraah. May Allah Ta'ala forgive me if I am wrong, let me know if there is any way so tht I can change my niyat and make things easy for me.

Q:

1. Is it an authentic statement in Islam that, if we eat with more than 2 items of food, we have to feed a guest or guests?

3. And if anybody wastes foods mostly due to cooking too much, that person will be sinful?

Q: My husband works for a private company. They give fuel tanks for rent to foreigners. When the fuel in the foreigner's tanks gets dirty and it is of no use to them, the driver takes that fuel and sells it outside the bazaar. This driver is introduced to customers by my husband and my husband does a deal with him to split the profits. Is this money halal for us or not?
