Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Q: I have a 16 year old son that cannot wake up for Fajr every day. My wife says to me that’s it’s our responsibility to make sure he gets up. Is it really our duty to ensure that he wakes up for Fajr everyday?

In the past, when I would wake him up, he would say that he is getting up, but most of the time, he would not wake up. Sehri is also a problem, though eventually, he does wake up for sehri. My view is that since he is old enough, if he misses salaah, he will be sinful, not his parents.

Q: I do not feel any attraction towards the opposite gender. I am now nearing the age of marriage. What can I do in this matter? If a male is attracted to a male or a female to a female, and hence does not want to get married, what advice can you give such a person?

Q: I am 32 years old. I am asking my family to let me get marryied to a girl (outside my family) but they are not agreeing. They do not give me a reference from Quran or from Hadith. What should I do? Should I bypass them all? Is there any problem in doing this?

Q: I am planning to marry in 3 weeks insha Allah.

The families are making the nikah very difficult. Myself and wife to be want it to be simple and Islamic also adhering to covid protocols.

They are also requesting that we have human to remove her from the stage as is the tradition in Cape Town.

Could you please tell me if this has any basis in Islam as we are both very shy and do not want to even be on a stage of any sort.

Q: What is the ruling of wedding walk ins in Islam? If I can put it like that. When the reception or walima is held alot of people have their families walk down the isle in the halls, like first the brides's families and then the boys families and the guests all sit around viewing this. Mixed genders. is this permissible? I don't think this conforms to sunnah. Correct me if I am wrong!

Q: I heard that there is a hadith which states that if a husband follows what his wife tells him to do, he will have la'nat on him. Is this correct?

Q: What is hurmat-e-musaaharah and what is the ruling about it in detail?

Q: I met a female through social media which I think is a Jew or Christian. I told her that you are my sister and she spoke to me several times.

One day she told me that she had baby. I was puzzled because she never told me before that she was married. I ask her whereabouts of her husband and she revealed very a shocking story.

A Muslim person from my place met her several times and that person was telling her that he is spiritual guide and pious in all ways and she came under his influence. That person had a physical relationship with her several times. I asked her whether he did nikah as per sharia or not and she told me that he said that this is a blessed spiritual marriage. I was shocked to hear about how a Muslim can cross the lines that's well defined in Quran and Sunnat.

She further revealed that when she got pregnant, he refused to accept that it's her baby and he is the father of the child. She left that person and gave birth to that child.

I take note of this and started searching for that person. I was further shocked that he was already married and had two sons and he is from a well reputed family. I contacted again that lady and she told me that she was aware of that he is already married but she never expected that he will leave her after pregnancy. She said that she ask him to marry her as per Islamic laws but he denied.

What is the solution to this issue? The baby is already born and she is taking care of that baby.

What laws of punishment will apply to that person according to sharia law?

If somehow I put pressure on that person to marry this lady, is this allowed and shall it be recognized according to sharia law?

As far as I read in hadiths, stoning till death is the only punishment for such a sin.

Q: Can a father refuse to pay nafaqah (child support) for his child if his ex wife denies him access to his child?

Q: One of my colleagues converted to Islam but she is married to a Christian, and her husband did not agree to convert. So since her husband did not agree to convert, after how many months is she able to get married again to a Muslim man?
