Miscellaneous

Q: I have a relative that turned to Christianity. He therefore is a murtad for more than 30 years and I refuse to associate with him. Some family members however associate with him as per normal. I even saw him recently in a masjid for his mother's janaaza taking part in the salaah.

I would appreciate if you can advise as everyone thinks I'm at fault as I must greet and interact with him to show him the beauty of Islam although he is a born Muslim. We tried in the beginning but he regrettably still practices Christianity.

Q: I'm a girl, and I have a non-Muslim friend who is also a girl. She has a private instagram account and sometimes she posts pictures, and some of them are of herself. Is it permissible for me to like these posts, or to comment that she looks nice, or to comment at all on the posts? Or is it not permissible for me to engage with her posts at all?

Q: If someone has done repeatative sins and he is unable to repent and is feeling Allah's anger on him, what should he do?

Q: My relatives insisted to take pictures of them so I took their pictures. Now they are posting it on social media. Would I be sinful for their actions?

Q: I am an ex-military pilot. I was forced to leave the military by some high-ranking officials due to their ego. I never imagined my life away from jihad. I dreamt of getting martyred in the battlefield.

Please tell me how this will be compensated and what reward will there be for me on the Day of Judgement for my nine years of jihad. Will I be counted as a Ghazi or Shaheed, or none? Remember, my pure intention was to serve my religion and nothing else.

This setback has left me in complete depression and stress.

Q: If music makes me close to Allah, is it permissible?

Q: Is it permissible to greet or wish a non-mehram on EID?
