Q: I live in Jammu and Kashmir India. Here we have a tradition that whenever anyone is ill or has some problem or on the occasion of joy, the people make qurbani (zabiha) of a goat or sheep or any other halal animal and take that to a shrine (a sufi buzurg’s grave) and distribute it among people. However the slaughtering is done according to shariah in the name of the so and so sufi buzarg.

1. Is it permissible?
2. If yes, is it halal for everyone? Can everyone eat it?

Q: It is the norm to gather and recite Quraan for 3 days or 40 days after a person passes away.

Q: Many years ago I was having a heated argument with an individual. This individual at the time and now does not pray, rather rarely they do and I think it was in Ramadan and I think this individual was not fasting on this particular day and it was something like they were going out with their friends. I am not a knowledgeable person now nor was I then and I said something like this: "You are not a Muslim," Astaghfirullaah. I don't think I realised the seriousness of what I said and I realise the graveness of the words I uttered. From then till now I have repented for saying this, and obviously have had ghusl and said Shahadah many times. What do I have to do? What affect do my words have on me?

Q: There is a fatwa from Al Azhar that says it is allowed for Muslims to congratulate non-Muslims on their religious days such as Christmas and this action
comes in the virtue of treating others (non - Muslims) well. Allah Ta'ala says in the Holy Quraan, "say to people good words" and "certainly Allah recommends the justice and being good to others." 

Q: What are the differences between a Nabi and a Rasool in terms of roles, responsibilities and duties?
