Q: In Surah 33, verse 38 it is stated that when Zaid (radhiyallahu anhu) dissolved his marriage with Zainab (radhiyallahu anha) then Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) married the divorced wife of Zaid (radhiyallahu anhu). Zaid (radhiyallahu anhu) was the foster son of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).

In your fatwa you stated that it is not permissible for a man to marry his sisters, maternal and paternal aunts, nieces, foster mothers, foster sisters, and daughters-in-law from his blood sons or foster sons. Please let me know if the Quran is correct or if your fatwa is correct.

Q: What is the correct way to get permission from a woman if she wants to get married?

Q: Is it mentioned in the hadith that we have to walk slow or with fast steps?

Q: I would like to enquire whether reading 20 rakaats of taraweeh is sunnah... I have recently heard someone say that Nabi صلا الله عليه وسلم read 8 rakaats in the musjid and 12 rakaats at home. Is this true?

Also, this person has said that the number of rakaats of taraweeh was not fixed and at one time in Makkah 30 rakaats were read. Could Mufti Saheb please clarify and include some ahaadith that I could use as proof.

Q: We are hostellers, 3 friends (age 20-22) in one room and we have kept a separate place on the balcony of our room for jammat namaz where 4- 6 people (or more) can easily adjust without any problem. I heard a hadith that one who does not offer jammat salaah if he/she can, when he/she will be inside grave, his/her face will be moved away from the qiblah.

I told my friends about the hadith and one of my friends asked me who will be the imaan from amongst us since we all make mistakes. If anyone of us will be an imaam and if he makes a mistake, he will get the sin of the muqtadi's (people standing behind the imaam) also.

My point of view is that no one is perfect but we can try. If with full attention, concentration, seriousness, students like us would like to lead the jamaat of other students (even after knowing that we are not perfect), would it be wrong? 

Q: Is it permissible for Muslims to wear unisex clothing? Like jeans, sportswear, etc.

Q: I purchased a house five years back using our company's house loan policy. After five years the company offered us to take the top-up on the loan based on the current market value of the house. Now with that top up money I purchased another plot.

My question is; do I need to pay zakaat on the land I had purchased? If yes then what is the method, should I take the current market value of the plot for calculating zakaat or should I take the amount I paid as an installment against the top up?

Q: I have two children both under 8 and my wife wants a third child. I'm 49 and my wife is 35. My mother feels that I'm too old to have any more children. My wife feels she's still young and would like another child. My mothers reasoning is that with my age I might not see my child grow up and leave my wife with having to look after three children. Should I go with my wife's wishes or is my mothers views correct. What is the Islamic ruling and advise in regards to this situation.

Q:

1. Is straightening with one's legs stretched out in the presence of  one's parents haraam?

2. What if this is done on the presence of an elder?

3. Is it allowed to sit with one's legs stretched out while eating? Is it showing disrespect to the food?

Q: I am a 17 year old girl, currently in my final year of high school. Recently, I've been having a lot of thoughts about marriage and the purpose of a Muslim's life. I reasoned that there is no point in studying for many years only to die and end up without any knowledge of Deen. Hence I decided to get married once I'm done with high school. What are your views on this decision?
