Q: Is the following type of marriage permissible: A Misyar marriage can be defined as an official marriage contract between a man and a woman, with the condition that the spouses give up one, two or several of their rights by their own free will.

Q: I recently did my Nikkah over the phone. My husband lives 100 miles away from me. He was at the Masjid with his two witnesses plus the Imam and I was at home.

Please can you tell me if my nikaah is valid?
Q: My question is twofold: 1) Can I retain my wife in a marriage wherein she claims that I have not been emotionally supportive of her and she is unhappy, yet I feel I want to work on the issues (especially since we have 3 children to consider)? 2) We have already divorced twice (2 talaqs) and knowing that after the 3rd talaq we cannot reconcile without first marrying other people - what if she had to pursue a Fasakh (annulment) which is then granted, can we perhaps still re-marry after that?
Q: Can a Muslim girl marry a sikh boy without changing her religion and live happily?
Q: When I was at my parents house my husband called me and asked me not to come back because according to him "I may not be a Muslim in future". My brother texted him and asked him what religion will he accept now. He replied I don't like any religion. My brother then asked so you are saying there is no god. He said yes. I personally think he wanted to get rid of me thats why he said these things. This is the second time he wanted me to leave him. He then called me after one week and said I should come back to him. I asked if he is changing his religion. He said No. Then I asked "You said there is no God". He replied, I wasn't accurate. I believe there is some one kalma is correct but I don't believe in religious practices and don't like people giving names to God. I told him we cant live together if you wont be a Muslim. He said I didn't change anything. He said he is scared to change the religion and he is scared to say anything because he might not be considered as Muslim. I asked so you believe in Allah. He said yes. He pray sometimes and he fast the whole month of Ramadhaan but he thinks that people might have altered Qur'an just like bible. He lacks knowledge of Islam. Now my question is, is my nikaah still valid? Is he still considered to be a Muslim? I didn't go back because I am very confused.

Q: I am currently going through a very bad period and I needed your advice. I am originally from Pakistan and I came to UK 10 years ago. I married my wife just over four and a half years ago and she reverted to Islam. During our first year of marriage I did something bad which goes against the teachings of Islam (abortion) and since then my wife has not forgiven me. Since then she has also stopped practising Islam. Till date she does not respect me and always sheds mental abuse calling me names and always reminding me of what i did. Currently we have got 2 kids (2 1/2 year old and 1 1/2 year old). I have tried my best to make her happy but she argues with me multiple times during the day and shows a lot of anger towards our kids as well. Today as an example she has been arguing with me all day calling me all sorts of names and bringing up things from the past. I have apologized to her multiple amount of times but there are no signs of her stopping and all this is having an adverse effect on our lives. I am writing to you with the hope of getting some advice of what would be the best course of action islamically. I greatly love my 2 girls (kids) and as a result I have not divorced her as she will not let me see them and if i remarry she has said she will ensure that she breaks all ties with me and she will not let me see the kids. I am deeply concerned as she would bring the kids up catholic as her family is athiest. Is there any suggestions which you can provide which might help to ease my situation? Similarly is there any wazifahs I can read so that we can be a happily married couple once again.
Q: I was in love with a Hindu boy for the last five years. When we decided for the marriage, I asked him to accept Islam and spend some time in Tablighi jamat before marriage. He accepted Islam legally and completed all of the mandatory requirements for conversion. He also spent few days in Tablighi Jamat. Then I married him on January 23, 2015. He promised me and my family members to lead Islamic life throughout the life. After few days from the marriage he was informing me to finish all of my prayers before he reaches home and few problems started. He offered prayers on Fridays for two weeks. After 2 months from the marriage he said he doesn’t believe in prophets, Life after death etc and they are all stories. After sometime I got separated from him in the month of july 2015 as he said he doesn't believe in Islam in his own words but he was not ready to give Talaaq as he was loving me lot. Whenever I asked for Talaaq he used to say that he can’t live without me and used to refuse it. I m staying separate since August 2015. Finally, he agreed for khula in September 2016. I married to a Muslim guy within 3 days from the date of receiving my khula papers. When my family members came to know about this marriage, they are questioning me that, I didn’t spend my iddah period of 3 months and my new marriage will not be valid. I assumed that my marriage is already broken on the day when he informed me that he doesn’t believe in Islam, Prophets and life after death etc. Could you please suggest me if I need to spend iddah period now or it’s already passed? Personally I didn’t spend Iddah period as I’m a working woman. Also, please let me know if my new marriage is valid or not.
