Q: I would like to know if riba falls under the category of western interest? A lot of scholars have said that it does not and it is permissible. I would like to know the reasoning behind this and why it is or is not permissible. I have been reading a lot about this topic and when the word riba is translated it can have a large number of meanings.
Q: If an Aalimah who wears full niqab and does not intermingle with men or watch tv movies etc. gets a proposal from a doctor whos a hafiz, which means he probably does khalwat with women and he watches football, would you even tell the Aalimah to consider him? He is praised for his akhlaaq. He also visits a female dentist.
Should the Aalimah even consider him. She has hope of doing amr bil maroof but fears marriage problems thereafter. Her grandfather (Allah enlighten his qabr) was a Shaikhul Hadeeth.
Q: Is it shirk to invoke a good jinn bound to a vessel by believing "without the permission of Allah nothing can happen" so the jinn can be your friend without causing other people harm.

Q:
1) I have problem of urinary inconsistence. I have to wait for nearly ten minutes after urinating for the drops to stop dripping. Moreover I am quite certain that drops dribble in my clothes while I am sleeping. I do feel the sensation of urine drops coming out in daily routine also, however the number of occasions this has really happened are very few (once every 20-30 times). In such a scenario, if I have a sensation that a urine drop has dribbled, but I am not in the position of verifying it, then is it OK for me to consider my clothes tahir?
2) If I am able to verify that drops have dribbled and made my clothes najis, should I offer prayer because it is not possible to change clothes or undergarments in office or in travel? If I am at home, I immediately change my clothes and purify myself.
3) Because of urinary inconsistence, my mind is subjected to waswasa every now and then. If I am not tahir (paak), then I usually try not to touch anything. There are many things which I do not touch because I think I have made them najis at some point in the past. I do feel restricted in daily life due to this habit. One solution is to purify these objects, but I cannot do this for all the objects like microwave oven in hostel, table tennis table in office etc. What I should do about these objects?
Q: Is it permissible to recite Quranic ayaats as dua's in the state of haidh? For example reciting last verses of Surah Baqarah, Surah Al Imraan, Mu'awwazatein and Ayatal kursi before sleeping.
Q: I am looking for advice on what to do with this situation, and hopefully some peace with dealing with it. My sister has had issues with her mental health for a few years now. Before she was sick she was a practising muslim, she would pray and practice hijab and would seak to please allah in all that she could. Her imam was very strong. However during her time at medical school she fell sick and developed severe depression which caused her to develop psycosis, where she would believe things that are not true and hear voices that would dictate what she did. The doctors says it was because of the stress of medical school that triggered the sickness. However she believes the voices are jinns and someone has done black magic on her. Over a course of a 6 months, my parents decided to take her out of school and into hospital, most of which was done against her will. she turned very very violent and they had no choice. She left the hospital heavily medicated and a changed muslim and sister. This was a year ago. After searching and visiting many imams, she now has been regularly visiting an imam who prays on her and has told her she had something done to her and he will pray for her and he will try to rid the voices . Because of this she still belives she has jinns that whisper and cause her restless nights. She also says she has lost her imam, which was the greatest thing she possed, because of them. She said they say such terrible things constantly, she is not able to stand and give salat. 4 months ago she decided to stop her medication, with the help of doctors, as she felt the problem was not her it was the jinns. and she hated the mind numbing experiance it caused her, and she wanted to return back to her studies. she seemed fine, we knew it would be risky without the medication but it was what she wanted and was handling life and the real sister was making her way back to us slowly. until a week ago, now with the stress of school, she has resorted back to her sick state. believing things that are not real. the nature of the false belifes are usually sexually related and she herself would never say or do such awful things. What do we do for her? she is in her mid 20's, im worried she will not make a life for herself, she will not be able to study. This sickness me and my family do not know how to make sense of it. If she is bothered by voices of these things that what are we to do? we have prayed and prayed. Does someone have the power with this so called magic to cause this much pain on a persons life. I know my sister is in there, suffering. After the first time it happened, she told me she knew it was happing, but could do nothing. What advice can you give to mentally sick family members, how do we cope?
