Q: Please could you clearly and explicitly explain the reason for 3 days, 40 days (etc.) Khatam not being permissible.
Due to many families already being entrenched in these actions, what other permissible substitutes (preferably containing feeding, reading) you advise with can be carried out, fulfilling the same purpose which is to send esaale sawaab for the deceased?
Q: My family has a katham every year, the changing of the flags. I know it's not as per the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) teachings, and it's innovation. But I'm forced to do it, as I will get shouted at.
Please advise, am I sinning if I do the katham? I tried to refuse previously and I got swearing. They don't understand it's not as per the sunnah and I'm living under their roof. So I'm basically forced to do it. What do I do?
Q: Can you please elaborate on the perfect method of Faatiha Khwani. What's the ruling of 3 days Faatiha Khwani and what's the method of doing Faatiha Khwani when someone dies?
Q: Whats the ruling on a new born child? We performed aqeeqah after 7 days, gave some food in sadaqah and we had a Quraan khatam after 40 days. My question is about the 40 days thing, is it cultural or an Islamic sunnah?
Q: I was invited to attend a khatam. Can you explain what it is and am I in the wrong for not attending as I was requested but I follow the sunnah of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and was it ever mentioned to do khatam or milad and so on?
Q: What is the masalah for participating in bid'ah with the intention of reforming?
Q: What is the definition of the people of Bidah (mubtadi/innovator)?
If a person makes his fiqh on the most correct view according to him, and rejects the ijma of the Sahaabah (like for taraweeh,i.e. 20 raka'at but he says its not the sunnah) is he qualified to be a mubtadi (innovator)?
Q: Are naats allowed? Is meelad justified? If meelad is allowed then under what circumstances?
Q: Someone sent me a link and said that Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) celebrated his birthday because of what is stated in the link. Could you please calrify and tell us a way to explain to them why we cant celebrate Rabi ul awwal?
Did Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) fast on Mondays due to the fact that he (sallalallhu alaihi wasallam) was born on a Monday?
Q: Are we supposed to celebrate 12th Rabiul Awwal?
