Q: I just wanted to know if it permissible to go to Moulanas who give you taweez to wear with Quraan written on it? Or if they give you water to drink/ taweez to burn in your room at home? Like in SA we have lots of Moulanas that “treat” people this way. Is this allowed? NB: the Moulanas perform salaah, do not do anything that would be shirk etc. How do we know who is legit or not?
Q: All my good deeds done all my life are wasted due to wrong intention "raya kari". Satan is playing with me real hard. He makes me remember all my good deeds and disturbs my sincerity. Is there anyway I can get those deeds back? Can I be forgiven? How to avoid this attack? It comes again and again? Whether it's faraz ibaada or nafil. He hits on my intention and succeeds.
Q: When one's close relations are not Deeni inclined, but they think that they are and argue over matters, which they have no knowledge whatsoever, what should a youngster who is an Aalim or making the effort of Deen do? Responding to the family elders results in him/her becoming ostracised & keeping silent allows them to continue with nonsensical statements such as:
1. Those were Sahabah, we live in different times.
2. Conditions are different.
3. Praying Fardh Salah is sufficient.
4. What's the need to attend Majalis of Ulama attend Bayans or go in Tabligh etc.
5. We are doing Faraidh, which is enough.
6. We have to live and earn in Dunya. In such a scenario, where subtleties don't seem to have the desired effect, what recourse does a person have? When is it permissible, if at all, to disassociate with them?
Q: I have some questions that are concerning me greatly. I am my elder sister's wali. My sister has received a marriage proposal from one of my cousins. However he doesn't read all 5 prayers, he only reads Fajr Namaz and attends jumah, he also listens to music, free mixes with non mahram relatives like cousins etc. I should let you know, my sister was negligent with prayer before but she does read all namaz's except fajr and she has also started trying to read fajr as I have continued to encourage and advise her. I feel my sister fears Allah now and is a good girl. Do you think it is wise for us to accept this marriage proposal? My mother has said perhaps my cousin could change after marriage and read all the prayers.
My other question is to do with myself, I have been trying to implement Islam fully into my life and because of this I have stopped conversing with non mahram women even those who are related to me like cousins, I don't speak to them, neither do I look at them, I have stopped watching TV for this reason as well as the fact that it is full of filth. My mother has said that, I have to talk to her friends when they come over to our house and I have to greet them with salam however I have told her I don't wish to do this, as some of her friends who are in their forties/ fifties however wear lots of perfume, make up and tight jeans and I refuse to talk to them but my mother says this is not allowed as they are her friends and is rude and that they are like my mother my mother also says I have to talk to my elderly female neighbour who doesn't wear hijaab and is a Christian, is this allowed Islamically? Also my mother and sister don't wear hijab is it permissible for me to go out with them? I have tried encouraging them to wear Islamically appropriate clothing, but it has not made a difference to them?
Can I go shopping, visit relatives, family with them?
I am working currently and my mother also has a job , she helps people with special needs and down syndrome with their shopping, tidying and the down syndrome man she works with understands girlfriends and relationships and she has to stay and help him in his home alone, she also buys musics cds, haram movies, haram food for him. Is this a halaal job? Please try to answer my question as soon as you can as I am very worried about these issues.
Q: I am married for almost three years and its mostly been unpleasant. My husband verbally abuses me. He insults me, my family and late husband all the time. He also has a drinking issue. I have three kids from my previous marriage. I was a widow. I would like talaq as I cannot continue under these circumstances. I am financially independent and he does not do much for me or my kids. I would like to know how I should go about obtaining Talaaq as a female. These conditions are not healthy for my kids well being. I would also like to keep the house which he insists that I sell as he will not leave. Please advise.
Q: I have problem with premature ejaculation, hence I am not able to satisfy my wife. Shall I give her divorce?
Q: Can you do like a wazeefa or something or like a thing where my father tells me to pack my bags and leave home? They are giving me too much stress and I don't want to leave on my own. I want my dad to tell me to leave and not call me back.
Q: I had an incident with my sister who said her money was stolen from her bag and she used the key and Qur'an to nab the culprit. The Qur'an turned on my name even though I didn't take her cash and I tried whole heatedly to prove I am innocent but to no avail. I was asked to swear on the Qur'an and on Allah Ta'ala which I did but Ii was told I am still lying. Please advise what should i do?
Q: Are we as Muslim women allowed to marry a married Muslim man. I like my boss. Everyone says he is married but he never told me he was married. I really like him and I think he likes me too. Is it wrong if I tell him how I feel towards him and pursue him?
Q: Me and my husband just came to know that I am expecting our third child and I am 7 weeks pregnant. This is a unplanned pregnancy and Alhumdulillah we were satisfied with our 2 kids and were taking precautions but with Allah Ta'ala's will I am expecting our third one, but my husband wants me to terminate the foetus. He has worldly reasons time and money for better upbringing. I understand his anxiousness but I am really confused whether to follow my husband or to the laws of our creator Allah Ta'ala. Please advise.
