Q: I am asking these questions on behalf of somebody else who says he has issues about the age of Aaisha radi Allahu `anhaa when the marriage was consummated amongst other things.

These are his questions, (would be grateful if answered):

QUOTE "Ok, I agree that may be helpful:

1) What is the definition(s) of a "child" in the Shari'ah?

2) What is the definition(s) of "child abuse" in the Shari'ah?

3) What rights that a child has under the Shari'ah?

4) What is the definition(s) of a Guardian (Wali) in the Shari'ah?

5) Who can be the Guardian (Wali) of a female child? Is there a difference for male children?

6) What rights does a Guardian (Wali) have over the female child? Is there a difference for male children?

7) What are the responsibilities that a Guardian has towards the child? What practical provisions does the Shari'ah set in place to ensure that the Guardian is fulfilling these responsibilities?

8) What are the responsibilities that a female child has towards the guardian? What practical provisions does the Shari'ah set in place to ensure that the Guardian is fulfilling these responsibilities?

9) Please give Shari'ah definition(s) of a marriage contract and what does it mean when someone has entered into a marriage contract? What would have to take place to have the marriage contract annulled?

10) Are there any valid Shar'i opinions from the 4 major Mathaahib that state that a Guardian/Wali may marry of a female under his guardianship without their consent?

If these are answered I'll have a few more questions based upon the answers of these questions. I put definition with a bracketed 's' indicating that I would like to know all valid opinions on these matters, not just the opinions of a single mathab, maslak, etc." QUOTE

Q: Would the nikah of an intoxicated person who was not in his senses be valid?

Q: I have 2 questions regarding performing Umrah and having Mazi leaking out and wearing the tissue.​

1. After visiting the bathroom I wrap a tissue around my private part (I usually tie a rubber band or string to keep tissue there) to ensure any drops that come out, if any, does not touch my clothes. I also wear a tissue sometimes during the day as I see mazi coming out at different times.

a. Whilst in ihraam and performing umrah if mazi comes out and touches the ihraam what must be done? (To be honest if mazi does come out, it is usually a very very small amount)

b. Is it permissible to wear the tissue after visiting the bathroom whilst wearing ihraam? (not whilst performing umrah but just wearing the ihraam)(I usually tie a rubber band or string to keep tissue there).

2. The other day I was given the opportunity of leading the Asr Salaah. Before I went to the Salaah room I stopped at the bathroom to wash my Private Area to ensure that there is no Mazi present etc. After performing salaah I went back to the bathroom to ensure no mazi or any fluid has come out, and did not see any fluid. However I did see something very small (like a dot) inside my private part which could've been toilet paper(from maybe earlier on in the day) or even a thread from my underwear or something else. I can't be too sure but it was very small or tiny and was solid looking not liquid. Please advise if this, what I had seen after performing salaah, affects my salaah in any way?

Q: Nowadays we use a prayer time chart but we hear from Darul Uloom Deobond that this is not accurate and they quote a hadith that for calculating the time of Esha salah we have to calculate the time difference between the rising and setting of the moon in every 3rd day of the current lunar month. Suppose the difference is 1 hr 47 minute then Esha will be 1 hr 47 minuets after Magrib for the same complete month and the process will continue. What is the truth?

Q: By Allah's grace I have been blessed with a baby boy about a month back and I am searching a good name for him. I would like to know the meaning of the following arabic words, please help.

1. Muawwiz

2. Munajid

3. Munajjid

I have named him Mohammed already and one of these I plan to be his second name. Also I would be very grateful if you can send me the proper Arabic pronunciation.

Q: I need to know meaning of name "Mashaim or Mishaim" and its origin. I came to know that it's an Arabic name and its menaing is Fragrance.

Q: I have question regarding property distribution.

My father owns a house worth Rs 50 Lac.

I have contributed for about 6-7 Lacs in it.

I want to know how the above said property is distributed between:

My father, My mother, My bhabi ( my brother died 10 yrs back), My sister, My bhatigi (only daughter of my late brother) and myself (only son) now. Please mention the distribution share and percentage and also please mention if there is any hadith or verse which tells about the kind of property share to be distributed.

Q: I want to ask few questions regarding women's dressing in front of mahrams:

1. My friend told me that his mother wears a loose sleeveless nighty from chest to knee in front of her husband and children. In this nighty her breast is visible when she sits down or is working. He can see her breast but from stomach to knee her body is hidden.
2. He told me that sometime she didn't wear bra because of which her nipples are visible on her shirt.
3. Another thing he told me is that after taking a bath she wraps her body with a towel and comes out from the washroom and starts combing. Most of the time her towel becomes loose and her whole breast is visible.

I asked my friend why she does like this. He replied that it is allowed in Islam. Mahram males can see a woman's breast, neck , hair, thigh. But he also said that women can not show her body from stomach to knee and back. It is not allowed in Islam.

Is this true?

Q: The reason for my query is with regards to having sand of Madina sharif in ones possession. A family member came from umrah about two years ago and he gave me a small container with some sand that he brought from madinah sharif. 

A year later I learned that Hazrat Moulana Yunus Patel Saheb mentioned in one of his bayaans that the earth of Madinah sharif cries out if it is removed from the holy land and whoever has brought any sand from there should return it. I therefore would like to know if the sand I have should be returned as it was not collected by myself.

Q: My friend is faced with serious legal problems and will have to appear in court. What دعاء 's can she, family and friends read? Please advise.
