You are wrong for not ordering them to put it off!

I’ve started practicing Islam a lot. One of the things I’m now doing on a regular basis is lowering the gaze from semi nude women. Looking at them corrupts my heart. My worry is how will I cope, looking at my wife after marriage during intercourse or times of privacy. Although, there’s nothing wrong in it, she’s still a woman and those feelings of corruption could come. Thanks

Fiqh of Marriage

Looking at your wife when she is nude is totally permissible and halal. Allah has given you this privilege as a gift from him as you are human and you need to fulfill your desires through this halal way! Not looking at her would mean that you are an innovator and prohibiting what Allah had […]

Can we use interest money in emergency situations like submission of school fees and later after earning can we dispose off the interest money? (We do not have enough halaal money available at the moment but we do have property which can be sold.)

You don’t need to sell the property as then you would not have a place to live in! As for the interest money, some scholars say that if a person is in real need to the extent that zakat may be given to him, he can use that interest money just for emergencies, and Allah […]

I understand. The story is about Musa AS as he prays to Allah for rain with thousands of his people. After the prayer there is still no rain. So Musa AS asks in a dua what he and his people did wrong. Allah, may He be exalted, responds that there is one wrongdoer that had committed sins over 40 years among the thousands and that he/she is the reason why the prayer is not answered. So Musa AS urged all the men and the woman that if they are wrongdoers, they should leave the group. Nobody leaves, and Musa AS prays again. After that, it pours from the sky. So Musa AS asks in a dua to Allah what the reason was of the rainfall, even though no-one left. Allah, may He be exalted, says that the person in dispute made repentance and that He accepted it. I think that the essence of the story is great, and I would like to narrate it further to my friends etc. but therefore I would like to know if it’s fabricated or not.

This is not authentic. However, you may narrate it without believing it or falsifying it.

Is it a must to know Arabic as a language to perform hajj and umrah. If not, how is a person supposed to know the things that he/she should say and do without getting confused

Knowing Arabic is highly recommended but it is not mandatory!

Abu Hurairah relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “There are no days more loved to Allah for you to worship Him therein than the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Fasting any day during it is equivalent to fasting one year and to offer salatul tahajjud (late-night prayer) during one of its nights is like performing the late night prayer on the night of power. [i.e., Lailatul Qadr].” [This is related by at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Baihaqi] Is this authentic?

I am currently studying to become a pilot. I always hear from pilots I know that sometimes they even miss 3 Jummah in a row. As you know, the flight scheduling is not an easy thing to change. So what should we do?

This is due to traveling and one who travels doesn’t fall under the warning of the hadeeth.

Does Islam allow the taking of non Muslim women as slaves if the country doesn’t have a treaty with the Muslims? Like the Khawarij say it does, so I want to know.

Jihad

This can only be applied in a real Islamic country that has a legitimate war. What the khawarij are doing today is not related to Isalm as their reign is not real nor legitimate.

Please let me know if we are doing this good. Our son of 13 with intellectual disability is now fasting for elhemdulilah days. It starts to get really difficult for him but we tell him not to eat. Can we do this with him. He is not like another normal thinking kid.

Fasting

If your son is mentally challenged and he has the brain of a child, he is not obliged to fast like adults but you may encourage him without forcing him!
