Mother commands son to wear clothes he dislikes
Assalamu alaykum, Shaykh. My mother often orders me to wear certain clothes that I do not like without a sound reason. For example, so that the people would not know that we are Muslims or so that they would not stare at us. And I am not only talking about the thawb; also regarding trousers and t-shirts, she obliges me to wear certain clothes (which.. More

Exaggerated romantic statements between spouses do not constitute Shirk
Assalaamu alaykum. if a husband says to his wife, as a way of being romantic, "The moon is not shining because you did not look at it today," or, "Every time you open your eyes, a flower blossoms,' does that fall under Shirk (polytheism)? Is one regarded as sinful for it? He merely does so to express his love.

Treating non-Muslims with respect is not Kufr or apostasy
Assalaamu alaykum. I was recently reading an article detailing how Muslims and non-Muslims should interact. The link to it is here: https://iloveimamrabbani.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/how-should-muslims-behave-and-interact-with-kafirs/
The article says that it is Kufr (disbelief) and apostasy to honor a disbeliever in the same way that you would honor.. More

Assalaamu alaykum Scholars. May Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon the Messenger Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, his pure Family, his Companions, and everybody who follows them in righteousness and goodness. I have a question regarding my mother, who does not want me to buy books related to Islam. She says that in these times, in which.. 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

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

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

Ruling on parents confiscating child's property
Assalaamu alaykum. If I bought a phone with my own money and my mother sometimes gets angry with me and says that she will take my phone, is she entitled Islamically to confiscate my phone, which I bought with my own money? May Allaah reward you.

Answer father's call or start prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. If I am about to pray but my dad calls me on the phone and speaks about what matches to bet on (my dad gambles quite a lot), is it still permissible for me to pray? The reason I am asking is that if I am reciting Quran in prayer and he is talking about gambling, then is that not haram? I do not know whether this is fromWaswaas (devilish.. More

Not talking to fellow Muslim for more than three days without abandoning him
Assalaamu alaykum. I have some questions about the following hadith: "The Muslim is not allowed to abandon a Muslim brother more than three days. If three days pass and he meets him, he should greet him. If he (the other believer) returns his greeting, then they share the reward; but if he does not return it, then he (alone) will incur the sin."

Parent not entitled to force child to eat certain foods
Assalaamu alaykum. My issue is that I am fasting and my dad wants me to eat burgers and chips every day forIftaar(breaking the fast)(which would have a drastic toll on my health), I refuse to do this, even though he might curse Allaah, The Exalted. Will I be sinful for refusing his request to eat junk food? Would I become a Kaafir (disbeliever) because.. More
