Wife going for holiday to her parent's home

Q: I would like to know if its permissible for me and my kids to stay over at my dads home.

When we go over, we are catered to halaal food and we are allowed to practice our religion and they don't force us against our beliefs, alhumdulillah.

When we didnt have any job, I was allowed to stay over at my parents home for 6 months. Now that we are living on our own, my in laws feel that it's not right for me to stay at my parents home.

I need clarification as I feel hurt because how can it be not right to stay for 2 weeks there but it's ok to stay 6 months there when my husband didnt have a job. 

Returning items after use

Q: If someone sent me some eats and I did not return the plate They asked me for it and I told them I will look for it and forgot about it I had every intention of finding and returning it however I kept forgetting about it. I never once said that I will not return it. Do they have a right to enter my house when I am not home and take it?

Islamic organizations

Q: I have a few questions regarding the running of Islamic Organisations. Can you please tell me if the following clauses are legitimate in running Islamic Organisations.

(A) “Decision making at Mashwaras shall as far as possible be undertaken on the basis of unanimity of views. If this is not possible, due to difference of opinions, the decision shall lie with the majority view. In the event of equality of votes, the Faisals (decision makers) decision shall be the deliberating factor.

(B) Cessation of office of Shura members: Elected members including the Faisal shall cease to hold position if, beyond reasonable doubt, they are removed from responsibility by a two-third majority of the Shura Committee who shall not be obliged to give reasons thereof after having duly accorded an opportunity to the said member/s to state his/their case.“

Can you please look at these clauses and explain:

1) Are they permissible in Shariah regarding the running of Islamic organisations and Islamic institutions?

2) Can any of these clauses be found in running of different departments of Deen during Khulafa e Rashideen? I.e. Department of Finance, Department of Justice, Department of education, Department of propagation, Department of Defence, Department of Islamic rulings and Fatawa etc

3) Are there any rulings by eminent Fuqaha to support the clauses.

4) Constitutions also indicate that the Shurah Council shall appoint a Faisal (decision maker) from amongst the Shurah members but the Faisal is bound by the clause (A) above when decisions have to be made. Is this correct?

I have been told that Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) used to have a named Shurah council (of senior Sahabah) and if his council were unanimous in their opinion about a certain matter then Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) would not go against them.

5) I often hear brothers of certain organisations stating that having an Ameer is the only way to run an organisation independent of any named members of a consultative body, wouldn’t this be a dictatorship and against the principles set out by our Esteemed Khulafa e Rashideen And our Akabireen?

6) Finally, can you please let me know through Scholarly arguments and evidence based research, Can a Shurah Council run an Organisation without having a specific named Ameer? Deciding on matters by mutual consultation and having alternate decision makers during consultative meetings? is this ok in Shariah? as often many brothers are rejecting this notion. To my limited understanding, brothers are comparing organisations to a Khilafat and hence call for an Ameer. If they were to see the organisation as it is, a Department of Deen then they would not hold their view so strongly. But that’s just my view, I could be wrong. please shed some light on this issue. 

Cat food containing carrion

Q: I'd like to inquire about commercially available cat food of the "seafood" variety.

a) Is it permissible to purchase seafood varieties that contain a % of carrion smaller than the main ingredient of fish.

b) If so, is it permissible to feed such food to ones pet?
