Q: I am looking to seek a ruling on whether scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) is permissible in Islam. SMP stands for scalp micro pigmentation.

It is a method of depositing pigment into the dermal layer of the skin on the scalp, which replicates hair follicles. When viewed from a few inches or further away, the pigment dots appear as hair follicles. Here are some facts provided by a number of SMP clinics I inquired with:

SMP will have no effect on the ability for the skin to absorb water (i.e. for wudhu) or release water as sweat. The pigment consists of Iron Oxide, which according to the clinics is readily present in the body naturally The main difference between a tattoo and SMP is that SMP is semi-permanent and uses a completely natural pigment. It uses specialist pigments created for the scalp only, not tattoo ink.

Q: There is a treatment called scalp micro pigmentation. It is like drawing a tattoo on the scalp to give an illusion like the head is full of hair. I have bald patches and this treatment seems very safe. Is it allowed in Islam?

Q: I know that it is haraam to deal with interest, but buying a house today comes with great difficulty and is seen as a need not and not a want. Can one use interest recevied from an investment account to offset the interest paid towards the house?

Q: Is it correct that the only people who will inherit from the deceased are his parents, children and spouse? 

Q:

1. I cover my face with niqaab and I am married also. I would like to know who can see me and who can I go in front of without covering my face.

2. Do I have permission to stay without my niqaab in front of my father in law?

Q: What is the ruling on a husband who only provides for one wife and not the other even though he has 2 wives?

My husband lives with his second wife and I am the first. He pays rent where he lives and buys groceries but I see to myself. I pay my own rent and buy my own food. Is it permissible for him to do this? I am a Muslim revert and this has tested my faith to the point where I am having difficulty in believing in Islam.

Q: When reading a qadha salaah, can one also join the intention of reading a sunnat and or sunnat e muakkadah salaah together with the qadha of the fardh salaah?

Q: After fighting with my wife, I sent this text message to her: "Thanks for giving me a reason to move on" does this constitute divorce?

Q: Some companies promote their products by offering them for free for for a limited time/at a specific place. Is it permissible to consume these products?

Q: I have this problem that has been bothering me for over 4 months now. I don't know what to do.

People tell me to pray and you will forget about it. But it is very difficult and I feel like no one understands me.

I used to work last year September till November so I worked only for 2 months. Within that 2 months my manager (who is 30 and I'm 19) has always supported me, and was there for me. We both grew a trusting relationship where we told eachother everything. Even when it came to talking about our illnesses and family problems with eachother. Bear in mind that he is a divorcee and married again. He has been there to support me and when no one understood me, his the only one that did.

Since I left my job, I feel like I'm going mental because I can't stop thinking about him. He told me about his illness so I gave him a Quran speaker, so hearing recitation keeps him calm. I cannot go through a single prayer without making dua for him. I can't sleep at night but worry if his okay, 24/7 (I mean 24/7) I think about him and question myself "is he ok" and pray to Allah to keep him safe and happy.

I know that I have no affection towards him. And I know myself that I am not allowing Shaytaan to play with my head. It's a Muslim sister worrying about her brother. I finished a Quran khatam for him, and I call up my store using a private number so when I hear his voice I know his safe and ok.

It's been 4 months and I still can't forget about him. I really don't know what to do it's very difficult and I really need help!
