Returning Salaam addressed to other person - Using exclamation 'Jeez'
Assalaamu alaykum. I have 2 questions:
1. If I hear someone give the Salaam greeting to another person (not me), do I have to answer it? For instance, if I hear a stranger say the Salaam to a person beside him (not me), and I am nearby, should I answer it too (in case the person did not answer his Salaam)?
2. Is saying "jeez" sinful? As we know,.. More

Salaam greeting should precede any other speech
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding this hadith: "The Salaam is to be said before asking any questions, so whoever asks you a question before giving the Salaam, do not answer him." Is it Saheeh (authentic), and does it apply in all situations? For example, what if my parents come to me and ask me a question without starting with the Salaam?

Fear of harming non-Muslim neighbor by reciting Quran daily
Assalaamu alaykum, Scholar. Bothering the neighbor is a major sin. We live in Spain, in a house in which our neighor and us are separated by only a thin wall. I am currently memorising the Quran, so I memorise and revise almost every day, which means that I raise my voice, since memorising and revising with a low voice is not the same. I also raise.. More

Refraining from greeting person one had fight with
Assalaamu alaykum. If I have a verbal fight one dayin the street with an unknown person whom I have never met before, and then some other day, I get to meet him for the second time, is it a must to at least greet him with the Salaam? Can I not refrain from talking to him at all?

Unintentional backbiting
Assalaamu alaykum. I have two questions regarding backbiting:
1. If a person backbites another person accidentally, unintentionally or out of forgetfulness, does he still bear the sin of backbiting?
2. If the backbitten person does not get offended of what was said behind his back, then does the backbiter still bear the sin of backbiting?

No specific Quranic verse to help find person
I have met a good Muslim sister a few years ago, and she asked me if I would marry her. At the time, I was not ready for marriage. However, I now realized that she is a good match for me in terms of the religion. I have been looking for her for the last three years, but without success. Is there any prayer which I can recite to find her or get news.. More

Joking about bad conditions in one's country
Assalaamu alaykum, Scholar. In Algeria, things do not work well. Algeria is very dirty (I mean the streets and the roads), and there are many other things. Sometimes we make fun of the country regarding the things that happen in Algeria which should be the opposite of what actually happens in Algeria. We also make jokes. However, notice that we do so..

His parents always nag about him getting better paying job
Assalaamu alaykum. I am a B.Tech engineer; I currently work in the Middle East and earn a fair salary. I live with my child and wife here. I manage to give some amount to my parents; my father still works in a company. Whenever I speak to my parents, they are sad that my salary is not that much compared to so-and-so. I always make the point that whatever.. More

Sending greetings of peace to person with another person
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Is it allowed to convey one’s Salaam (greeting) to another individual? For instance, my friend says to me “Send my Salaam to your mother and father;” or “Give my Salaam to your uncle when you reach your home.” This method of conveying one’s Salaam to another individual is very widespread..

Father denies sons share in house which they all paid for
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question. My father-in-law build a home (meaning that he paid someone to build it), and my husband and his brother helped financially to build the home. The home is in my father-in-law's name. My father-in-law now denies today that my husban and his brother gave a lot of money for this home. He says that the home is all his... More

Eating to one's fill not sin
Assalaamu alaykum. I take medication to protect my bones due to a condition I have. I am unsure about eating extra food, in light of Islam. I was advised to do things like eat an extra slice of toast in the morning and so on. However, most of the time, I tend to hold back from eating too much of one thing. I would like to know; if I do eat extra portions.. More

Whether weeping out of fear of Allah erases sins
Two different scholars gave two different legal opinions. One said that weeping out of fear of Allaah erases the past sins only, and not the future ones. The other scholar said that it also includes the future ones. My question is: does weeping out of fear of Allaah erase the past and future major and minor sins, or just the past major and minor sins?

Saying ‘Astaghfirullah Rabb-al-'Aalameen’ to seek forgiveness
Assalaamu alaykum. What is the ruling on randomly saying 'Astaghfirullah Rabb-al-Aalameen' (I seek forgiveness from Allaah, the Lord of the worlds), meaning not at the end of specific acts of worship but, rather, when driving, or when someone gives me excessive accolades which I do not deserve, or when seeing something that is a Fitnah (temptation,..

Neglecting one's wife and child because of work and studying
Assalaamu alaykum My husband is of good character generally. However, I believe him to be selfish and feel that he puts his needs before myself and our six-month-old son. He is a busy man who works and studies and as a result has neglected us. His excuse is that he is busy and that I should be understanding and patient. I have been so ever since we.. More
