Q: I have been practising mixed martial arts for self defence reasons, but I wonder if it's a good idea to be entered into a mixed Martial arts competition, such as the UFC and to compete and to prove Muslims are not people who can be just pushed over. We have men who are capable of physically defending ourselves. But this is something small to why I want to enter into Mixed martial arts, I want to spread Dawah, and earn fame and recognition Insha Allah to better the cause of the Ummah and the needy and the orphans and to become a spokesperson for my brothers and sisters in the realm of mixed martial arts.

Q: I used to like a girl when I was 9 years old and now I am 15. So still I like that girl and her thoughts just make me cry. So the question is that is this haraam? If yes, what can I do to forget?

Q: Is keeping pictures of our relatives etc in an album instead of hanging them on a wall also haraam?

Q: Is watching boxing or mma haraam?

Q: If pictures are haraam, why do we take photos for ID and passports and also security, and are enforced by regulations?

Q: What is the masalah with regards to burning incense stick-agarbatti in the home? Is it tashabbuh bil hindus or not?

Q: Is a woman's voice part of her ourah? I learned that the wakeel of a woman must first give way to her before she can be allowed to speak to a man other than a direct male relative of her family. I ask because I hear woman speak freely on the Islamic radio stations and it doesn't sound right.

Q: When someone does good to you, is it Sunnah to say:

Q: When I sleep, I become paralysed and I can't move my body. I feel like something is pressing on me. Some say it is some scientific thing but I know it is a jinn because the moment he releases me, I read some verses and release it in the air and it stops. What can I do to kill it?

Q: I am a 25 year old male that is experiencing hair loss. I have tried shampoos, creams, tablets as well as hair lazer therapy in order to stimulate hair growth. However none so far has given the desired effect. The other option I am aware of is hair transplant. With the hair transplant there are 2 routes that I can choose. The first option, they take my own hair and transplant it to the areas with less hair, however at my age I have been advised not to go with it. The second option is a Fibre synthetic material which is not human hair which can be transplanted via a non surgical method. My question is, would it be permissable to go with the second option: Fibre synthetic material?
