Q: I have heard that you are not allowed to take your husbands surname after getting married according to these verses: 

"Call them by their fathers names; that is more just in the sight of Allah. (Quraan 33:5)" 

The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Whoever claims to belong to someone other than his father has committed an act of disbelief. (Sahih Bukhari 3508, Muslim 61)". 

a. Are these quotes correct? 

b. Is the statement you're not allowed to take your husbands surname after marriage correct? 

c. I know of people who have registered themselves for marriage at Islamic centres and they have asked women if they want to take their husbands surname.

Q: Surah Hashr - The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: Whoever recites Surah Hashr then none from among Paradise, Hell, Arsh (Allah’s Throne) Chair, Curtains, the seven Skies, the Seven earths, space, wind, birds, trees, mountains, Sun, Moon, and angels would miss seeking forgiveness for him and yearning for his safety. If that man dies that day or that night he would die a martyr. 

Is this authentic? Does one have to recite this Surah everyday to get this virtue?

Q: I missed 10 fasts during Ramadan due to illness. I am recovered now and wish to complete my missed fasts. I planned to keep the 10 during the first days of Zil Hijjah not expecting any additional reward but just as a sense of fasting is more prevalent around me. 

Please advise if this is ok as our local imam in a talk says Fardh and Sunnah cannot be combined! Should I rather wait and fast after or continue in these days? If I do fast, my intention is of my qadha and will I be in sin for keeping these qadha in the auspicious days of Sunnah fasting?

Q: What are the virtues of reciting Surah An'aam and is there is any virtue of reciting the first three aayats of Surah An'aam in the morning and evening?

Q: My wife and I went for hajj alhamdulilah. We completed our umrah and waited for the hajj days. The morning of the hajj day, very early, because my wife was pregnant and it was the 8 month of her pregnancy so after advise from prominent ulama they suggested I do the saee for the tawaaf e ziyaraah before the hajj starts. So the morning my wife and I did a nafl tawaaf and with the intention of saee for my wife I joined her to do the saee. In this way we completed the saee and then joined up Ml Olgaa to to do our hajj. 

After 5 days of hajj we stayed one extra day in Mina. The next day we came to Makkah and did our tawaaf ziyaraah and my wife did not do the saee as we, according to the advise, she did it before the hajj days, actually the morning before the hajj started. Please advise if this is correct.

Q: I bought 3 Ryse supplements from TikTok shop 2 years ago but I claimed that they never showed up even though they did and I received a refund. What can I do for forgiveness and to use this product? Is it even possible to use the product? 

I contacted TikTok customer service and they said they usually cover the cost so TikTok is the ones that lost money. I told the customer service individual that I received the order but still asked for a refund and they said that I can’t pay for it now. If I can't use them do I give them away as they are protein supplements.

Q: I have a few questions about safr. 

1. What's the boundaries of Durban? Like a person leaving Overport, when will he start counting? And when returning if he stops in Pinetown, will he read qasr? And what about if he stops in Sherwood? 

2. In each direction where will he read qasr? So if he is going north up the coast where will he be able to read qasr? Going south on the n2? And going north on the N3? 

Basically what's the boundaries of Durban.
