If they are both yours and they don’t want one of them for any justifiable reason, you are not obliged to obey them as there is no interest in it for them. However, you should be diplomatic in dealing with them.

I heard an Islamic speaker say that whether the system is of democracy, theocracy, dictatorship, kingship or any other system, it does not matter as long as they rule by the book of Allaah. Is it correct? Also if the shariah is established, how will a Khalifah be chosen? Since in democracy every single person from the country votes but Abu Bakr(ra) or Umar (ra) was chosen by few companions not by the every single member of the Ummah.

If we implement Shariah, democracy will not exist as it is against shariah!

I have often heard such and such person had jinn in him so we took him to a person who can speak to the jinn and through some way can relieve the person of the jinn. I don’t know about all this so asking.

I am a university student and for the past 10 months waswas of shaytan has effected me. It started with just small doubt and me acting on it to the extent that my mind is full of doubts when I try to ignore it. This happens especially during purification and prayer. Specifically when I urinate, I always have doubts that some drops came out then for each salah I wash myself and my underwear then go do wudho and then pray and then again I smell my garments to check if urine came out or not. Sometimes I find smell and most of the time I don’t so this increases the waswas. When I pray I always think about if urine came out or no which causes my stomach to bloat and it makes me feel like urine came out but as soon as prayer is over my stomach is back to normal. Every single day I wake up with determination to ignore it. I succeed for 3 or so days then as soon as I act upon on doubt again I go back to that state. I have been ignoring it for so long and I didnt discuss with anyone but my prayers are being effected. I miss standing for prayer for long time and the kushoo. A shiekh told me to ignore it completely and even if urine make out in reality then it will not be taken against me as I am effected by waswas. Can you please tell me any methods that will not be taken against me or should I keep on checking my garments after salah?

These are waswas and you must try your best to fight them. Just make sure you perform your wudhu correctly, clean your private part with water after going to the bathroom, and do not think about if any urine was left or not.

Because she was ignorant of the obligation of Hijab, she will be forgiven in sha Allah. But now that you know you must tell her or she knows that it is obligatory she must wear it. She is sinful if she does not wear it except if she is too old and wrinkled to the […]
