Lying to mother to end her suffering
Dear Brother, I was molested and abused a lot as a child. These past few days, I was repenting to Allaah and read that the parents are responsible for their young children. My parents were negligent; they allowed me to sleep in one bed with my brothers and study with male teachers all by myself. I asked my mother to repent for what happened to me, but.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. Is it permissible for a person to go to a country (whether it is an Islamic or non-Islamic country) if they would fear for their life there? I was told that a Muslim should not be afraid if they are going to a country which they feel is unsafe for them to enter. Rather, they should put trust in Allaah. However, did Allaah not tell.. More

It is Sunnah to start lectures with Khutbat-ul-Haajah
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Why do shaykhs always begin lectures by praising Allaah and sending the Salaam on Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam? If this is Sunnah, does it also apply to non-religious lectures, like a physics lecture? What are some of the Sunnah-related acts/words of religious and non-religious lectures?

Asking forgiveness for non-Muslim parents impermissible
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. While praying, we say a supplication after reciting the salutations on Prophet Muhammad,sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam; that supplication also contains, “Rabbi ighfirli wa li-waalidayya wa lil-mu’mineena yawma yaqoomu-l-hisaab.” My question is: if one's parents are disbelievers, can the..

Preventing parent from dealing in interest
I am the cause of my father being unable to get interest of around 30,000 taka every year. As revenge, he ordered me to give this money from my own pocket every year. I thought that it was obligatory to obey him in this regard, and so I told him (without saying 'I promise') that I would do so. Does this mean that it has become obligatory upon me to.. More

Deserting sinful family member
Assalaamu alaykum, respected Scholars. I have a brother; unfortunately, he has picked up some bad habits, like smoking, taking loans, and lying to get money to live a lavish lifestyle, from his companions. He has lied to many people to get money and other items. He covers a lie with another lie and has spared none of his siblings or parents. Whenever.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. We know that replying to the greeting of Salaam is obligatory. However, if I reply in a low voice so that the person to whom the reply is given most probably cannot hear the reply, wil I be sinful?

Mocking man for marrying older woman
Is it Kufr (disbelief) to mock or be disgusted by someone who has married an older woman? I am asking as I have seen this happen. Many muslims do this very often even though they know that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,married Khadeejah, may Allaah be pleased with her.

Ten people fed as expiation must be Muslim
Assalaamu alaykum. If someone fed ten poor people as an expiatation for having broken an oath but that person just guessed that those people were Muslims and did not confirm their religion because they live in a Muslim majority country, will it be valid? Or does the person have to distribute the food again?

Cheating in exams
After Allaah guided me, I resolved never to cheat in exams, and this continued till now. Unfortunately, though, I fell into the sin of cheating in my final exams. Now this is causing me great distress as I think that I might be surpassing someone who is more eligible than me because I cheated in the final exam and only those who qualify for the final.. More

Giving wrong advice to person
Assalaamu alaykum. Is it better to do a part-time job for money or to do it for free? Also, will I be punished if I give wrong advice to anyone, like if I tell him to do the job for free for the reward in the Hereafter? This is my main question: is my advice correct? If not, then what should I do now that I have already given this advice?

I want to know what the Tahleel and Taqdees which the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,told us to be steadfast on are, as seen in the following reference?
The Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, “Hold fast to Tasbeeh, Tahleel, and Taqdees, and close the fingertips, for indeed they shall be questioned, and they will be made to.. More

Judging people's tendencies based on their religion
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Is it acceptable to judge people's tendencies based on religion? I am asking because I was talking with my family and my mom was talking about a certain individual who did some wrong things. My dad then asked her what his religion was. I then asked my dad why he would ask such a thing, but I know that.. More

Doubting whether one made vow or not
Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I would like to ask you a question. First of all, I am a student. In my early years, I was always hard to wake up, to the point that I would miss the morning prayer frequenty, but I would still pray around 6AM. So I think (I am still in doubt; I am not sure whether I did do it or not); it appears in my mind that one day I.. More
