Sighting of the moon

Q: Why different scholars of India are of the opinion that the moon is not sighted in our country (India) when Saudia and many Islamic countries declare that the moon has been sighted for the celebration of eid.

Involvement in vain activities

Q: Mufti Saheb, if no money or goods are involved, is it halaal to have a league, with family, where you predict football match results and then have a league table of who got the most predictions right, based on their odds? There is no money or real stake (in the form of any asset) involved. It's done for fun and of course, a small feeling of achievement when someone wins or leads.

Inheritors wishing to waive their right of inheritance

Q: A man dies leaving behind no biological children nor parents. He had 10 siblings and many nephews and nieces. He did not have an Islamic will and wished to distribute his estate to his siblings, nephews and nieces. He is currently survived by 40 people (3 brothers, 1 sister and 36 nephews and nieces). His siblings wish to waive their shariah rights and distribute the estate equally among all 40 individuals. The main reason for this is to maintain and improve family ties among all. Would this be in order?

Marrying someone who watches TV

Q: If an Aalimah who wears full niqab and does not intermingle with men or watch tv movies etc. gets a proposal from a doctor whos a hafiz, which means he probably does khalwat with women and he watches football, would you even tell the Aalimah to consider him? He is praised for his akhlaaq. He also visits a female dentist.

Should the Aalimah even consider him. She has hope of doing amr bil maroof but fears marriage problems thereafter. Her grandfather (Allah enlighten his qabr) was a Shaikhul Hadeeth.

Taking work from jinnaat

Q: Is it shirk to invoke a good jinn bound to a vessel by believing "without the permission of Allah nothing can happen" so the jinn can be your friend without causing other people harm. Sometimes complete wishes for you such as more money and wishes that doesn't go against Islamic teachings and just guide u as a friend and the jinn is kind of a personal trainer?
