Q: I hold the opinion that the normal vaginal discharge that a women experiences is najis and that it requires istinjah and wudhu. I know some scholars say that the normal discharge a women gets does not nullify wudhu but i do not agree with this view. I get this discharge constantly such as that I cannot perform a single wudhu or prayer without experiencing this discharge. This discharge is not due to desire and comes out naturally. I am aware that I am a mazoor for this. However sometimes while I am a mazoor for this discharge I also experience madthi which is due to unwanted sexual thoughts or if I look at any guy by accident I get madthi. I am wondering because I am a mazoor for the other normal discharge that a women experiences would I have to redo istinjah and wudhu if I discharge madthi or is this not obligatory upon as I am suffering incontinence with the other normal discharge a women gets which is not due to desire. Please answer my question urgently as this is causing me alot of confusion as to what I am supposed to do.

Q: I live in Mumbai (India) and I am planning to perform Umrah. I will be taking a flight from Mumbai to Jeddah and continue onwards from Jeddah to Makkah via bus/car. I know that I need to be in the state of ihram while passing the Miqaat. I will wear Ihram at Mumbai airport so that all I have to do while passing the Miqaat (in the air) is make the Niyah.

My query is that I do not know when should I make the Niyah so that I am sure I have not missed the Miqaat boundary. I will be travelling in a flight which will not be notifying me when I pass over the Miqaat area. What is the way that I should follow? Should I make Niyah from Mumbai (India) airport OR should I make Niyaah 1 hour before reaching Jeddah? There can be a chance that I do not pass over any specific Miqaat point (rather pass through between 2 Miqaat points), what do I do in that case? ?

Q: If a person is performing tawaf around the Kabah and takes a break for salah, does he have to restart the entire round or can he continue the tawaf from the spot that he stopped?

Q:

1. I heard that it is more virtuous for a female to pray at the hotel than praying in the Masjid Nabawi or at the Kabah. Is this true?

2. If so, will she be sinful for praying in these Masjids without need?

3. Also, would it be better for her to stay in the hotel than to perform nafl tawafs?

Q: When coming back from Hajj/Umrah, Saudi has a rule that each pilgrim may only bring with him 5 litres of zamzam, packed in a special box. People say that the reason for the rule is that they want to avoid water packed in normal bags from spilling on the luggage bands. If a person secretly packs extra zamzam in his normal bags, will he be sinful for breaking the 5 litre rule even if he packs it in a way that he is sure there is no leakage?

Q: If a girl gets involved in a great sin by rubbing her private part against a pillow and discharges, is she committing zina? She performs salah five times a day and knows about Islam. If such a girl continues this and her parents are not getting her married then what must she do? 

Q:

1. If a girl made a qasam that she will only marry an aalim and then she gets a proposal from a person who is not an aalim but she likes his deen and aqlaaqh, so can she break the qasam?

2. Also, if she breaks the qasam and marries him, then how many kafarrahs will she have to give as she cannot remember how many times the qasam was taken?

Q: My question is regarding beard transplantation. I’m almost 26, I don’t have a beard on my face, just a little under my chin. I have desire to grow a beard and In Sha Allah grow a healthy beard according to the sunnah in the next few years. Is it allowed to go for a beard transplantation or use any beard growing oil on face? Will it be against the creation of Allah?

Q: I believe in all of Allah’s names and attributes, I accept he is the one and only, none other deserves to be worshipped, if you do worship besides Allah such as a hindu God or do grave worship, you are not a Muslim, rather the contrary, first of all, I believe nothing is like Allah, he is incomparable, but my question is essentially, Allah knows everything we know, so does that mean there is a similarity?, Allah’s knowledge is unlimited and there are no mistakes, but ours is the opposite.

Also, another similar question, the Quran is Allah’s speech, his attribute, so is that incomparable as well, doesn’t that share similarity with other Arabic books, they may use the same words for instance, so a similarity, is it not?

I asked it on a forum last year, these same questions, a brother said, Allah knows what we know, but his knowledge is unlimited and is always right, ours is limited and we can make mistakes, so we share some things but overall, they are dissimilar, incomparable, he also said the same for my second question. Essentially, Allah’s words are incomparable overall, very dissimilar, but they share somethings with other books. He said something along the lines of that. I’m not sure what is right, hence why I’m asking this question. 

Q: Is it correct and permissable to keep the name Aazar (آزر)? Was Aazar the father of Nabi Ibrahim عليه السلام?
