Q: Some of my family recite takbeer e tashreeq when slaughtering an animal rather than Bismillah Allahu Akbar which I know is sunnat.
Will the meat be halaal with just any of Allah's names? I tried to correct it but they don't seem to be implementing.
Q: I got married approximately 9 years ago. At the time my wife and her father wanted Mehr e faatimi as mehr. However I could not afford the mehr e faatimi at that time. They then agreed to a lesser amount but I told them that insha allah one day when I am able to then I will give her the full mehr e faatimi amount. This was just verbally said and was not written down.
Alhamdullilah I am now in a position where I can give her the full mehr e faatimi amount. I would like to know if I should give her the mehr e faatimi amount at that time (9 years ago) which was approximately R 12 500.00 or should I give her the mehr e faatimi amount of current value which is approximately R28 000.00?
Q: Can we visit and see the old monuments, forts and palaces with the intention to see their beauty and gain historical knowledge, especially the Mughal (Muslim rulers) architecture?
Q: I borrowed some money from my mother to buy a car. We used that money to pay for the car and I will be paying her back every month. Will zakaat have to be paid on that amount if it is already used in buying the car?
Q: I bought airtime and put it in my phone. I used the airtime to buy a bundle of data. I never notice my airtime was fifty cents less. They charged me an emergency recharge. They gave me R2 and said from my next airtime they will take R2+R1.10 access fee. What must I do at that time? When agreeing, I never know it was interest but after that I sensed it. Please advise.
Q: The imaan was reading Surah Sajdah. He got stuck repeatedly and paused for more then 3 subhanAllahs. Does salaah need to be repeated because he didn't make sijdah sahw?
He got stuck like this before. He seems to be ignorant of the masla.
He also stands with his legs far apart like a ghair muqalid. What should be done in this situation? How should he be corrected?
Q: I had a wet dream and went for ghusl. There was like 18 mins left for sunrise to pray Fajr when I went to do ghusl. While doing ghusl, when I checked my phone it was 7:16 and time for sunrise was going to be over at 7:25. So when I saw the time was 7:16, I did fast and made a call to a person which took 15 seconds. Then I started washing my parts but unintentionally it took more time. When I finished washing my parts it was 7:24 and now the time was over because I had to make wudu also. I made wudu and prayed my salah. Is my salah valid?
Q: What will happen if a person commits kufr but later forgets about it?
Secondly, if you get bad thoughts about Allah Ta'ala and you feel the sensestion of happiness about it but you know thats bad, is this kufr too?
Q: I am currently studying, but my future wife's father is sick. Some people suggested that I get married first and then continue studying. At least the father will see his daughter getting married.
What I am confused about is, isn't it cruel if I haven't provided for her financially or spiritually?
I think it will be difficult to finish college while working.
Q: We are 1 sister and 3 brothers. My youngest brother I and are Indian and the other 2 are Malaysian. My Mother is Malaysian and the owner of 20 acres agricultural land. During her lifetime she announced Hiba for an equal distribution of the land under which she gave 5 acres to my middle brother due to his financial condition. I being an Indian was constantly using my share of profit along with my mother as her sons never took up her responsibility except for food and lodging. Now she is suffering from dementia but still remembers her hiba for her 3 children.
Question 1- if a child is in a foreign country then how would she fulfill the requirement of Malikana Haq as I too am not financially strong to travel internationally often?
Question 2- there are witnesses for the verbal hiba.
Q3- in one of my recent trips in 2022 in front of my mom I verbally took possession of my land and wanted to utilize the profit till I could sell it, but my Malaysian brothers refused to do so. Both of them has taken their share under hiba and supporting the Indian brother and denying my right on the pretext that I don’t have the Milkana Haq- Total Possession of land.
Question- How would it be established that I too have the right to 5 acres land as for the past 10 years my mom and I have been using the profit by mutual understanding?
