  • Lying to parents about how suitor met their daughter

    Assalaamu alaykum. I met a girl through a website dedicated to teaching English. I am a fluent English speaker, and she needed help. After speaking a few times, it became apparent that there is a mutual attraction, and we decided to end communication unless I can speak with her family. I am new in Egypt, she is 17 years younger than me, and I am still.. More

  • Whether Allaah would forgive one who kills believer deliberately

    Assalaamu alaykum. Allaah says that He will forgive everyone but not the people who do Shirk (polytheism) so what about the below hadith that I am referring to. Does that contradict not contradict this? Allaah says that He will not forgive the one who does Shirk, but the hadith says, “Every sin is forgiven except a person who deliberately kills a.. More

  • Asking Allaah to bless non-Muslim

    Previously, I asked a question, but you responded by forwarding to question no: 90921, where you kindly mentioned that we can pray for a disbeliever who is not against the Muslims, for worldly benefits, but not for mercy, forgiveness, and so on. However, my question is: there are scholarly differences of opinionwith regards to saying 'Salam' (peace).. More

  • Dutifulness towards apostate parent

    Assalaamu alaykum. If a muslim mother converted to another faith and she is not a muslim anymore and announces that to people, does she still have the right of obedience on her children?

  • Dutifulness towards non-Muslim parents

    In the name of Allah. Assalamu Alaykum. I have been a Muslim for almost 19 years, praise be to Allah. Ever since, my non-Muslim father does not want to have any contact with me.

    Assalaamu alaykum.

  • Pursuing sinful means to get work

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question is about the legality of getting employed by means other than formal requirements. Here in Ethiopia, most of the time, individuals get valuable government jobs by means of kinship, political background, or something similar. Even if there are formal vacancies, one should use an informal method in order to succeed. Some.. More

  • Handling abusive neighbor

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I have a neighbor who causes discomfort to me. She keeps commenting on me and my family for no reason. She backbites about us and does not even let her child play with mine. We have never ever fought, but she has a very different behaviour. She never says salam, nor does she smile, even if I say salam.. More

  • Hating kufr and kaafirs in light of verses [58:22] and [60:8]

    Assalaamu alaykum. I saw a bunch of people claiming that we should hate the disbelievers, but some other people said that the hatred should be directed towards disbelief, and not towards the disbelievers. Which is right? I can understand hating him if he hates Islam though. Does Allaah not tell us in verse 60:8 that He does not forbid us from treating.. More

    Asalamu alaykum wa ramatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. For the past year and a half, I have been performing an evil deed, a deed so evil that I am thankful that Allaah has hidden it from the people, as I am a well-respected community leader. I have been hiring escorts despite being seen and respected by other Muslims. I have a concern. I want to quit doing.. More

  • Drinking from same cup a non-Mahram drank from

    Assalaamu alaykum. Please do not refer me to other fatwas. Last time, you mentioned other fatwas, and I cannot understand that way. You told me that one is allowed to drink the remaining water of a marriageable person. How could this be allowed in Islam; is drinking the remaining water of one who has placed their lips on the glass permissible for another.. More
