Q: Please may I request your assistance in three questions that I have bases on my scenario? I am a 48 years old revert to Islam. With my initial acceptance of Islam I was overwhelmed with the beauty of this dean of Allah. I accepted it with full heart soul and immediately adopted a life of only Islam and the way of life of our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) of almighty Allah. At that point, 12 years back, I was a very popular figure in our community, I had a very successful business, and I enjoyed love, respect and support from my family and lived a comfortable life in a fairly large house. I still remember that the only thing missing in my life was a humble, pious and obedient wife. Needless to say that is a very difficult gift to obtain. Since embracing Islam and changing my views on how to do business and how to please my Allah I have lost almost all my family, I don’t have any friends, and because of a partnership dispute I now have no business and live I a small home, but Alhamdulillah I am content with what Allah has given me. I am married with one daughter of 6 years but I am very unhappy in my life. I feel that Allah has put me through so many tests that my Mufti here once told me I am a sabr champion (on alight note). I just can’t find common ground with my wife to build a good relationship with her and I know she is not happy with our nikaah at the moment. I can’t see talaaq as an option as I love my wife and daughter very much and can’t see myself living without them but at the same time we are not happy and fight all the time. I have tried many options and sacrifices but nothing seems to help. My 3 questions are as follows:
1. Is it permissible to ask Allah in dua to take your life as you feel you can’t carry on living in unhappiness and not having the ability to make your spouse happy?
2. Is it permissible to take your own life in fear that you might run out of sabr and lose your Imaan?
3. Is it permissible to go in Jihad not just for the pleasure of Allah but also hoping to lose your life because of your unhappiness?
Q: Is ketone slim xt that has gelatine in it allowed to be consumed?
Q: What are the ways in which we can serve and please our parents?
Q: I have many old family pictures. How would I dispose of these. I tried burning them but it's not working.
Q:
1. I am married, I have a sister in-law and brother in-law, they are also married. We all stay in Saudi as neighbours, so is it permissible that we three families go for umrah together in a big car provided all females are fully covered in burqa?
2. Similarly can we three families go on a picnic trip to various tourist attractions provided all females are covered in burqa but obviously the females can see the men of their family through eye opening of niqab if they don't lower their gaze but males can't. so is it permissible to travel together in this manner?
3. Another situation is if all of the three families travel in their personal car but on reaching the destination they unite,but no casual conversation is there between na mahrams of family, each family just enjoy themselves and have fun,only thing is they all go the place same day for a happiness in their personal vehicles, is it permissible to travel in this manner?
Q: My uncle passed away yesterday. His daughter and uncles younger brother stay out of the country and for them it was not possible to reach before the funeral hence for the last dedaar ( viewing the face) video calling was made just to show the face of my uncle to his daughter and brother. No photographs/ video was saved of the janaza only video calling was done for 3-5 minutes. The same was also confirmed with the maulana who was present. It was just use of technology for showing the face of the expired person to his loved ones who could not reach on time. I would like to know if this act was permissible or was anything wrong done?
Q:
1. Is it permissible to greet with words: good morning?
2. Is it permissible to greet with words Hello?
3. Is it permissible to greet with words sawubona or molo?
Q:
1- As in this time robbery is common in our society. Some time robbers snatch costly things on gun point. I want to ask what is Islamic teaching about protecting our goods. Does Islam teaches us to resist in this situation from snatching or protecting his/her life is more important? As if one resists before robbers they may harm that person or even kill him.
2- If during robbery one kills robbers is this allowed or not? Will this person be treated a killer in the sight of Islam or during defence this is allowed?
