Q: A Muslim sister in a certain Islamic community got pregnant. The Islamic leaders decided to discipline her since she was not married. When the elders of the Community met her, she told them that she has stayed in the religion for years and no one is marrying her and she is getting to the age where she can't get pregnant if married. So she went and did artificial insemination since she wants a child. She provided the medical documents that showed that she has done the artificial insemination. The sister is pregnant without committing fornication nor adultery. Is she sinful?

Q: What is the definition of salaah and dua?

Q: I have a severe problem. Me and my brother have not been talking to each other for many years. But since I got to know that it is such a great sin, I want to turn back. I have asked forgiveness from him several times. I even tried starting the conversation but he never talks to me and he will never talk. I am stuck. What should I do? He is really determined not to talk to me. How can I seek Allah 's forgiveness?

Q: Are laziness, eating too much and greed considered sins in Islam?

Q: I have a Muslim worker who is addicted to mandrax. Daily after work he must smoke. Sometimes he works late and the place where he needs to buy the tablets (drugs) is not safe so he asks me to take him there so that he can go in and buy it and I must drop him home. If I don’t take him, he will walk down and it’s not safe. I have been doing that but it’s bothering my mind, am I not a party to the sin? What should I do? Even though by my not taking him he won’t stop.
