The consequence of uttering kufr statements
Q: Khalid Sayed recently made an apology for his kufr statement against the Honourable Khulafa e Raashideen (radhiyallahu ‘anhum).
We wish to find out whether his apology is sufficient or does he have to renew his Imaan and Nikah as we understand that he made Irtidaad with his defiling statement against the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum)?
Emergence of Yajooj and Majooj

Superstition of Tuesdays being a bad day
Q: My question is regarding the significance of Tuesdays. I was recently advised by someone that I should not sign transfer papers or important documents on a Tuesday and it is preferable to do it on a Jummah if possible. I have never heard anything regarding this before. Is there anything in the Hadith or Quraan about Tuesdays being a bad day or a day on which important activities should not be conducted?
Angels seeing what we do
Q: “Watching (raqeeb) and ready to record (‘ateed) are two characteristics of the angels who are appointed to record everything that the son of Adam does, good and evil. They are characteristics that apply to each of the two recording angels. The angel on the right is watching and ready to record, and the angel on the left is watching and ready to record.”
What is meant by “watching”, does it mean that they see all that we do?
Impermissibility of Tazia during Muharram

Feeling lazy to carry out extra ibaadat
Q: I think I'm a liar and a munaafiq because the lovers of Allah Ta'ala love to worship Allah Ta'ala. I sometimes get tired, lazy and there are days when I feel like I just want to relax and give it a break.
Many times it happens at tahajjud time where I do not want to get up, I have to force myself, and sitting from tahajjud to ishraaq is a very big problem.
How can I overcome this problem of laziness. Isn't the lovers of Allah Ta'ala cannot get enough of worshipping Allah Ta'ala? There are days I just want to sit and do nothing extra. How can I overcome this condition?
Imaan of a person who passed away while supporting the LGBTQ+ movement publicly
Q: If someone asks me regarding Jesse Duarte...and I say she passed away a murtaddah in terms of shariah and if the claim that she read kalimah is true then it is Allah's perogative to forgive or punish her. Did I say the correct thing?
When I tell people she passed away a murtaddah, people tell me that I should not judge...but theres clear cut evidence she supported the LGBTQ+ movement publically in which she stated that we must change our thought process.
My father tells me that if anyone asks, I should say Allah knows best. According to senior Aalims they say that she passed away a murtaddah and if she repented, that is between Allah and her. Please advise respected mufti saheb.
