Q: Referring to http://muftionline.co.za/node/3767

1. you could say in the above the order of تصوير/the إكراه is معلق with a مباح action (Travelling). It is not necessary to do this مباح action. And if you dont do the مباح action there is no إكراه. So when إكراه بالحرام is معلق with a مباح action is it permissible to do that مباح action?

2. Before you start the travelling there is no أمر to take تصوير. So when you take the تصوير there is no إكراه/ command. So if you know there will be إكراه in the future is it permissible to do the impermissible action from before?

Q:  The Ulama prevent us from having CCTV saying that it is tasweer (photos of animate objects) and tasweer is not permissible in shariat, yet they allow taking out passport photos. After one has completed one’s Fard Hajj there is no need for one to travel, hence travelling is just something permissible. So how can one perpetrate a haraam by taking out passport photos just in order to fulfil a permissible need?

Q: Fashion designing and fashion shows are allowed for women and if allowed under what circumstances?

Q: What does Islam say about indoor games like mobile games, video games, etc. I am doing a job and busy in it. I want to play games because I dont have any other entertainment but my wife stops me.

Q: Is it permissible to boil marijuana and consume the water for asthma. It is said that this home remedy works better than medication.

Q: My question is about music because I have been facing a lot of different fatwas and different sheikhs saying different opinions and I am really confused. I have come to you to ask is all types of music haraam because some music is used for nothing but relaxation and not for haraam activities also. Some songs containing music have clean lyrics with no bad words or sayings of love etc and the reason I have come to ask is that because I post videos in the internet that get thousands of views and I use clean music or song that doesn't encourage any bad or sexual activities and making money of entertainment. So if the music or beat doesn't encourage you to do anything haram, is it still not permissible because I am afraid of the money I am getting to be haraam.
