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

Seeking forgiveness from looking at women
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah wa barakaatuhu. I remember that I did haram by looking at girls or causing attraction, and may Allaah forgive me. My question is: is it necessary that the girls' father or brothers and so on forgive me in order for Allaah to forgive me, or the women's husband if she is married, or even the girl herself? And is it the.. 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.

Deceiving government to get cheap housing
Assalaamu alaykum. I live in London, UK with my husband and my two kids. We rent a flat there, the rent is very expensive, and the property is very small. In order to get a council house, we either need to wait for ages or be homeless. The agency which we rent from has offered to evict us, but we would pay the court fees. The eviction would take place.. More

Doing voluntary acts of worship is not an obligation
Assalaamu alaykum. With regard to every good act and/or act of worship, I notice that there are levels, one higher than the other. For example, while there is a reward for saying, 'Assalaamu alaykum', there is a greater reward in adding, 'wa rahmatullaah', and even a greater reward in adding, 'wa barakaatuhu', to it. The same goes for praying, wearing.. More

Writing list of sins to make repentance in Du'aa'
Assalaamu alaykum. Please spread your knowledge. For repentance, I sometimes have a lot of things that I want to repent from, so I write my repentance down, and then I read it off in my supplication. Is this an innovation, or is it acceptable? Also, what is the proper pronunciation of he Shahaadah (testimony of faith). Are we supposed to say Muhammadur.. More

Whom to follow when scholars differ in grading Hadeeth
My question is regarding the grade of hadiths; there are some hadiths concerning which Hadith scholars differ in grading them; like, there is a hadith in which Prophet Muhammed, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said thatknowledge is obligatory upon every muslim, so on this hadith, Hadith scholars differed; some say that it is an authnetic hadith, and..
