Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question. I am 14 years old. I am attending a school where there is a swimming class.

So we do not go to swimming together. However,.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. I would like to request the Islamweb team not to refer me to any of your previous fatwas because this is a new question. Many Muslim clerics have held the view that hitting a wife is permissible and not barbaric.

Assalaamu alaykum. My question is: is it okay to supplicate to marry a particular person? I do not know a lot about him (just that he is working, is four years older to me, and is a practicing Muslim, I think).
