Q: I've recently encountered a vet who works with pigs. I've tried to encourage her that pigs are impure animals but she claims we not allowed to consume or touch its carcus which to my knowledge is correct but my question is, Can we as Muslims touch and love pigs like how the kufr do?
Q: If many years ago (sometimes before bulugh and sometime after) if one used to make a CD for family members so they could use the CDs in their cars and the CDs would have nasheeds on them (mostly with music but not all), and if at least with one relative he used to try to get something out doing so i.e. being taken to a store to buy a magazine.
The way he made these CDs were by downloading a YouTube video to mp3 file (which YouTube would have been against) and then putting the mp3 file on a CD.
Now, would he have to find those naat and nasheed artists and owe/pay them any money, especially those artists who didn’t use music?
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: I came across the question regarding death and taqdeer. I am curious as to what is the situation when a person commits suicide. Would that person have passed away at that time either way?
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 wanted to ask a question regarding the dressing of women in their own homes. In my house we have our own gym area where me, my mother, and sisters exercise. While exercising they usually wear shorts that go till the knees and a low cut tank top that shows their cleavage. Their nipples are sometimes also visible sometimes. Is this allowed Islamically if there is no fear of fitnah?
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?
