Q: I wanted to ask Mufti Sahib regarding Girls Madrasah Reunions.
It doesn't happen very often but when it does women who are old students of the Madrasahs are invited. Some have to come from far and wide.

Q: I'd like to find out if it is permissible for me as a lady to go out of my home and assist in a local care center for our Muslim mothers of our communities (they have no family to take care of them).
I always wear loose fitting clothing and make sure I am home by asr time if I do have to go out in necessity.
I have the skill of interacting and taking care of the elderly whether its family or not and love sitting with the elderly and listening to their advice and gaining some wisdom. I've been wanting to volunteer but am not sure what is the shariah ruling with regards to my intention of going out of my home to serve the elderly for the pleasure of Allah and giving back to community as many of our elderly ladies especially from Taleem always made the time to give me a good Tarbiyah as I grew into a lady that I am now.
And advice will be greatly appreciated and follwed Insha allah.

Q: Is horse riding allowed in Islam for women?
Q: I was touched inappropriately by a bike rider while I was on a street. I was wearing an abaya and hijab. Is it due to some of my misconduct that Allah punished me or show me that I should seek forgiveness. I'm trying my best to avoid Haram things and doings. Then why all this happened??
I complained to the police just to report the incident, but can't proceed because I know the police here isn't that much effective. Kindly assist.
