Inability to fulfil vow of fasting because of heat and long days
Assalaamu alaykum. A Muslim man who is 32 years old said that if he gets selected for a particular university to do a job, he will fast two months consecutively to thank Allaah. He said this in the year 2009. Then he cleared the interview and so on and got selected in 2009 itself. However, till now, he has not been able to fast because he is in one.. More

Fear of dying while disobeying Allah
Assalaamu alaykum. I read on your site that if a person's last deed before passing from this world is good, then he may be in paradise though he is someone of the fire, and that if his last act is bad, he would be a person in the fire who is from paradise. This worries me because I sometimes do some things that are probably impermissible, such as my.. More

Visiting Hindus who say that ‘guests are God’
The Hindus have a saying that states that 'Guests are God'. I was invited to a Hindu household once, but I did not go because I believed that there was a real chance that this was Shirk (polytheism) as by going I would be allowing them to equate me with, and treat me as, God. I constantly thought about ways in which it would not be Shirk and wondered.. More

Cleaning husband's aquarium without permission to save fish
Assalaamu alakum. May Allaah reward you greatly. My husband has an aquarium with fish. He does not take care of this aquarium well; it needs regular cleaning and so on, and all of the fish have died except for one. Now the aquarium is terribly dirty, and this one fish lives in this very dirty water that nobody cleans. I have asked him to please let.. More

Execution of Hadd not condition for acceptance of repentance
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I believe I have done a lot of grave sins; some of the biggest are:
1. I used to commit homosexual acts.
2. I used to be involved in groups that promote homosexuality as a human right.
I like to think that I repented before two Ramadans ago. I began searching for ways to find peace of mind.. More

Repentant actress bears no sin for her works that people watch
If a non-Muslim actress converts to Islam, will she still earn sins if people watch her act in her movies in which she was not wearing a hijab? And is the money that she gained through acting haram? And what if some people have downloaded pictures of her before she converted in which she was not wearing a hijab, will that also count as a sin?

Listening to Nasheed with music to learn it / Growing the beard to follow the fashion
Assalaamu alaykum. I have two questions:
A) We know that singing 'good' songs without instruments is unanimously allowed. So if there is a 'good' song that contains music, can I listen to it in order to learn the song so that I can later sing it without the music?
B) If one grows his beard merely to follow the fashion or in order to follow the.. More

Addressing non-Muslims with 'Sir' or 'Dear' or the like
In fatwa 86974, "Appropriate Way to Address Non-Muslims," it is stated that it is not permissible to start a letter by writing anything that could mean the glorification of a disbeliever by a Muslim, like the title ‘Sir’ or ‘Dear’ and the like. I need some clarification regarding the above fatwa. In India, we call our teachers 'Sir' for the.. More

Changing Mathhab to obey father
My father once tried to convince me to change my Madhhab (School of Thought). He did so because my neighborhood follows the Hanafi Madhhab, and so when they see me pray, they ask him questions about me. He tried to convince me and at one point said, "Change your Madhhab. If you go to hell we will go together. Do not go to heaven leaving us behind,".. More

Giving food of expiation to beggars
Assalaamu alaykum. In the previous question, you said that we can give the food (for breaking a vow) to 10 beggars. However, in the Quran and a hadith, the Miskeen (the poor and needy person) is described as the one who is in need but who does not show it to other people and of whom people may think that he is well off. So how can beggars fit into this.. More

Thinks that disobeying her mother made her ill
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. On my last visit to Makkah, I got very sick. I feel that it was due to the cold water that I drank. My mother had told me to drink the 'not cold' one. However, she agreed that I drink the cold one in front of me, but I feel that it was not the same inside, and when I apologised after getting.. More

Saying 'Oh mother!' or 'Oh father!' to express surprise
This question is about fatwa id:281152. I know from this fatwa that saying "Jesus" in surprise like many Christians do constitutes Shirk (polytheism) as it is seeking help from someone other than Allaah. In my country, there is a habit of people saying, "Oh mother!" or, "Oh father!" when they are surprised. No one expects their parents to help them,.. More

Father insists that daughter pays rent though she lives elsewhere
My father makes me pay rent to him while I do not even live in the house, and I was told that if I do not pay, then he will never speak to me again and cause problems for me. In the past, he once told me to get out of the house for not paying rent, and that was during night time. Is that normal? He is working at the moment. I pay to keep my relationship.. More

Acceptance of wife's prayer when husband is angry with her
Assalaamu alaykum! I ask Allah to reward you immensely. Dear scholar, an authentic hadith says that Allaah does not accept the prayer (Salah) of a wife who deprives her husband the right of physical intimacy. My question is regarding the matter of the prayer not being accepted. Is it only in case of depriving husband of his sexual rights? Or is it applicable.. More
