My cousin recently got engaged and now they meet each other in absence of muharram. They have dinner together. I know it is not allowed. My question to you is that is it allowed for me to eat the things e.g chocolates they give to each other. Is it better for me to throw them away because I can not openly tell her that I cannot eat them. Similarly can I eat the sweets which are distributed when someone gets engaged.

Engagement

No problem. However, if you really care for her, you must tell her that what she is doing is prohibited.

I am asking about gift not inheritance. I know there is two opinions about giving gift to son and daughter. 1) Giving gift equally to son & daughter 2) Giving gift to them according to sharing inheritance. If father gift same amount of money like 500 BDT to his son and 500 BDT to his daughter,is daughter sinning if she takes full money?

If he had the chance to do hajj but did not do it, you must not take anything from his wealth to perform hajj with as this wealth belongs to heirs now. Whoever wants good deeds may perform hajj on his behalf or pay someone to do that for him.

The Prophet (SAW) said:- ” Allah feels shy to let His slave raise his hands to Him and bring them back empty.” Ahmad Please can you clarify this hadeeth, because some people are using it as a daleel to support raising hands in making Dua after obligatory salah.
