Falsifying date to avoid paying penalty
Nearly 15 years ago, a person rented a house from a company, and the agreement was to give four weeks notice before leaving, and otherwise they would have to pay one month's rent.

Warning people about cheaters is not backbiting
Assalaamu alaykum. We have come here in India for medical treatment, and my father was explaining his problem and treatment until it reached the point of gossip. People usually use translators because they do not know Urdu. So he was explaining about them how they trick people, obtain money, etc. even though they are Muslim, but they have gone as far.. More

Seeking fatwa from several sources on same issue
You rightly advised me recently to not consult many scholars on a single issue as it can lead to confusion. In the past 3-4 years, as I have been striving to increase my Islamic knowledge and correct practice of the religion, I would usually read and reference two prominent fatwa websites and two scholars, whose email ID's I have. I trust the religious.. More

Whether it is better to pardon or punish wrongdoer
If one forgives someone after being wronged, and then one day later he says, "No, I am not going to forgive him," meaning that he changes his mind, is this valid? Or is the person who wronged him forgiven and is changing his mind not valid? If one behaves in a bad manner or harshly or rudely, meaning that he performs actions which are disliked, and.. More

Humility to Muslims in its proper context is recommended
Assalaamu alaykum. Recently, I have been struggling in my religion because I have heard a brother in a masjid say that to humiliate yourself to others you completely love is major Shikr (polytheism). I have struggled with this because I have not found any scholar talk about this and I also think tha tit would be minor Shirk at most. I also have seen.. More

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Is it recommended to write the Basmalah ("In the name of Allah") on top of every page of my notebook? When talking to someone, should we say "Bismillah, how are you my friend?" I need a detailed answer about these manners.

Definition of evildoing and sinning openly
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Can you explain what evildoing is and when a believer becomes an evildoer? As for the hadith which says that Allah will not forgove a person who sins openly; does this mean that he will surely be thrown into the Fire, or may Allah forgive him if He wills and is that just a warning from the Prophet,..

Assalamu alaykum. Is it obligatory to give the Salaam greeting and take permission before entering my relatives' house? Sometimes they open the door for me and I just enter without asking permission orally. Is that a sin?

Greeting a person by bowing is forbidden
Assalaamu alaykum. In Japanese and Chinese culture, one has to bow down before his boss or superior. In Islam, however, it is haram to bow down before anybody other than Allah. What if we can make a way out? For example, if somebody just makes a gesture like slightly bending his back in front, suppose maximum 20 degrees, without bowing his head, which.. More

Whether saying 'I swear' is considered an oath
Assalaamu alaykum. If I swore (I said, "Ana ahlif") that if someone brought up a certain topic, I would just leave the room every time, how do I nullify that oath? Unfortunately, I know that the person will continue to bring up that topic, and I do not want to be held liable for not upholding my oath.

Not conditioned to say 'O Allah, if it is good for me, grant it to me...' when supplicating
Assalaamu alaykum. What is the ruling on asking for something specific when supplicating? And is it a must or a condition that a person should say when asking Allah for something: "O Allah, if it is good for me, then grant it to me, and if it is bad for me, then keep it away from me,” or can a person beseech Allah and ask Him for a specific thing..

Making oath with Quran open in front of you
Assalaamu alaikum. Sir, I have a question regarding oaths. One day, I was sitting to recite the Tafseer (exegesis) of the Quran, which did not contain the whole Quran; it contains the Tafseer of the first two Surahs of the Quran only. So while the book was open, I had a quarrel with my husband, and in anger, I said that I will not do such and such job.. More
