Q: I was just enrolled in an "arts appreciation" class in college without knowing that they show nude art in it as well. I heard medical students are permitted to look at nudity for educational purposes. I was wondering if the same applies for my business degree. My degree plan does not require me to take this class in particular (it still requires some kind of art such as music, dance, or drama), but it would be a problem for me if I have to drop this class since it's already paid for. I'm pretty sure I don't have to draw any animate beings in this class, it's mostly analysis of art.

Q: What are the rewards of doing a fardh kifaya act?

Q: I am a student at a Christian school. There, we are forced to join church sessions everyday in a church and be part of the prayers. Can I attend these sessions provided I do not believe in Christianity?

Q: Sometimes I just feel this boredness of doing something, I use to be a smart computer science guy but now all this is just fading away. I don't know why but what I knew for sure is I loved it more than anything. I just can't live without computer. But since I became more serious about Islam and fulfilling my duties to it and become more strict, and I'm not complaining though; Alhamdulillah for the mercy Allah has given me, "Allah knows what is best for us and we do not". But my question is should I force myself to try hard to learn it back or revise, because the problem is I always feel weak and down trodden and my head sometimes aches a lot when I start learning, and especially when I'm near my book. I really don't know what to do please.

Q: Kindly favour me with your reply to the following queries: 

1. Is it competent and permissible in terms of the Shariah fiqh regime for a disbeliever (kaafir) to be appointed to the position of principal or head of an Islamic institution? Having regard to various verses of the Quran, including but not limited to those in Surah Maaidah,I was always of the view that the Shariah proscribed such an appointment.
2. Is it permissible in terms of Shariah for an Islamic institution to observe a period of silence at an assembly of its students as a mark of respect for a disbeliever who recently died?
3. Is it permissible in Shariah to for an Islamic school to honour a disbeliever on the occasion of his birthday by singing of 'happy birthday' wishes and greetings at an assembly of the school population?
