Q: I am doing research for a Madrasah assignment and would like to know:
1. What is the status of adolescence in Islam?
2. What is the Islamic law regarding adolescence and dealing with the opposite gender?
3. What advice should be given to adolescents?
Q: I read a hadith that says"There are three individuals that, when they supplicate to Allah (Azz’ Wa Jal), their supplication is not answered: a man who has a woman of bad character and he does not divorce her, a man to whom another man owes money and he does not have witnesses over him, and a man who gives money to a weakminded person."
Does that mean that if one does these things none of his dua will ever be accepted? How does one get his dua accepted again if he does these things?
Q: People hallucinate especially people with mental issues. They can be extremely happy compared to messianic visions. People even befriend characters that represent typical images for prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) or Isa (Alaihis Salaam). What is Islam's view on this?
Q: How do we have faith, trust and confidence in Allah during hard times, especially when we are praying so much?
Q: If wet semen or sperm is present on clothes and it dries after a while, would the garment be clean after scraping it off?
Q: I am the eldest child of my family (a male), and have 4 younger sisters Alhamdulilah. I am also Alhamdulilah married and have 2 children (1 boy and 1 girl). However, when I was younger I always wanted to have brothers but never did.
Is it permissible to pray to Allah Ta'ala for Him to bless me with more son’s or only sons if I have future children inshaAllah? Before my daughter was born, I made a lot of dua to Allah Ta'ala to bless me with another son but I was still very happy Alhamdulilah to be blessed with a daughter. But I would really want my other children to be sons InshaAllah. Please advise what I should do?
Q: There is a bank here which is offering me personal loan. I was not interested in taking that because it is haram as they will get more money in return of the money they gave me. However the bank showed me a stamp of their personal loan option from the sharia council. So can I rely on that stamp fully and avail this option. I do not know about the minor details like will they charge more if my instalment is delayed or etc but it has been approved by the sharia council so is it allowed in islam?
Q: I want to buy a Prado on instalments but I do not have sufficient downpayment so there is this dealer who is offering me a Prado without any downpayment. The price of the car is 73000 AED right now but if I calculate the instalments that I have to pay then it sums up to 85000 AED. So is this haraam or allowed in Islam?
Q: A female becomes baligh and is already in possesion of wealth which makes her liable for Zakaat - does she have to wait one year - that is, must she be in possesion of the wealth as a 'major' (as opposed to being a minor) for one year before paying zakaat?
Q: I want to know that if a husband is totally unaware of the terms and conditions of Talaaq. In this situation, if a wife forces him to give talaaq but he knows what she is asking for is not a legal thing, if she beats him up and forces him to say talaaq and the husband just says "go, talaaq" only once, is talaaq valid?
