Q: I've heard girls say that they romanticize their future by making up imaginary scenarios of them with their imaginary (non -existent) husband like holding hands, forehead kiss, etc. Is this fantasizing? Will one be sinful?
Q: I've got two sons. They're toddlers.
My elder son received alot of money as a gift when he was a baby while the second one didn't receive as much. I was thinking of converting their cash to gold. Will it be okay for me to give money to add only to the younger one so I can get the same amount of gold for each child or will it be unfair to the older child?
We will not inform them of this when they are older.
Q: I terminated my pregnancy in 6 months and this is murder. Is there any kaffara or diyat? Kindly guide me what can I do.
Q: Should a parent be equal to all of their children in terms of finance and gifts?
For example: There are 4 brothers. No. 1 is a doctor, set up by the father but paid back. No. 2 is in the business with his father as a partner, also paid back. No. 3 is still studying. No. 4 is an aalim and recently started working in the business. The father wants to set no. 4 up eventually.
Question: Will it be fair if the father sets up no. 4 in the business, without paying back. Basically giving him a business and not giving any other brother the same.
Q: Is getting married to someone so that she can make khidmat of his parents correct or should the decision be made more on shahwat for the person?
Q: Is it sinful to have a favourite child? Or even two or three out of your children?
Is this fair towards the others because how must they feel inside with a parent having a favourite?
Q: I wanted to know the Islamic ruling regarding birthmarks. Is it when Shaytaan bites or kisses you?
Q: I am writing to seek your guidance on a family matter concerning marriage eligibility in Islam.
I am considering the possibility of proposing marriage between my daughter and her first cousin from mother side. However, there is a specific detail that we need to clarify: the boy's younger sister is also our daughter's radaai sister (sister through breastfeeding).
Given this relationship, I am unsure if it is permissible for my daughter to marry her cousin. Could you please provide clarity on this matter according to Islamic principles?
Q: My husband and I have been married for 20 years and we have tried our best to have children during this time. I have pursued fertility treatments for 16 years but was unable to conceive. After numerous consultations and duaas we decided to opt for adoption and 2 years ago welcomed a baby boy through that in our lives.
Now with no treatment of any kind, I have conceived SubhanAllah. It has been 6 weeks and my body has shown numerous signs of health issues. I have been hospitalized twice for various conditions that doctors cannot treat until the end of pregnancy. I was also recently diagnosed with diabetes, under active thyroid and debilitating anxiety and for all those I am required to take medication.
The baby seems to be okay for now, but the toll on my health so early on is unprecedented. I live in the United States and here doctors never tell you what’s right for you. They only present the conditions and let patients decide.
In a situation like this, where both physical and mental health are compromised is abortion allowed as a consideration?
Q: My family and I denied many good proposals in the past. Now I am regretting it so much. Now I am not getting any good proposals. I often think and worry whether it was because of my own wrong decision that I didn't get those good proposal whom I denied by making a wrong decision or I didn't get them because it was Allah's decision. Please clarify.
