Pregnancy and Parenting

Q: After giving birth, should the woman remain at her husband's home or go to her mother's?

Q: My husband and I have been blessed with a baby alhamdulillah. We would like the baby to have finished memorising the Quraan by an early age if Allah wills.

What steps can we take to ensure that the child can begin learning and memorising from an early age? What brain foods would also be good for the child and mother as I’m nursing currently.

Q: My baby boy is almost 2 years old. I'm a single mother. I have a dua and dream that he goes in the right path and becomes very pious or an imam and hafiz. How can he attain that level? Are there any specific duas that I should do and what should I do myself to set these goals?

Q: Is it permissible for the husband and wife to acquire a child through IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)?

Q: I have a 16 year old son that cannot wake up for Fajr every day. My wife says to me that’s it’s our responsibility to make sure he gets up. Is it really our duty to ensure that he wakes up for Fajr everyday?

In the past, when I would wake him up, he would say that he is getting up, but most of the time, he would not wake up. Sehri is also a problem, though eventually, he does wake up for sehri. My view is that since he is old enough, if he misses salaah, he will be sinful, not his parents.

Q: My wife is expecting to deliver our baby in a few weeks through caesarean. However, due to covid restrictions, the hospital is not allowing any visitors to bring children so I am unable to leave my young kids with anyone. My question is, can I give azaan and iqaamah to the newborn after the baby comes home after 3 days or is it necessary to give it soon after birth? If I can’t manage to visit then can I give it over the phone through video call?

Also, do I need to feed the new born with dates and honey? Just to lick it?

Can you please let me know what all I need to do Islamically for my new born baby?

Q: My twins are 4 years old and are very stubborn and always fighting and not listening to parents. Please advise a dua or prescribe a wazifa to bring them on the right path.

Q: Is it permissible for a pregnant woman to have a 4D scan to determine the gender of her baby? The scan gives you a basic, clear picture of what the baby looks like.

Q: Can a couple avoid having children if they know that they will not be able to give the child a proper deeni upbringing and also because of the fitnah around in that place?

Q: I would like to know if a child can play with toys that have eyes and then after the child plays, the parents or child pack it away so no murat is visible in the house or during namaaz time?
