She must not do this. Although Allah has forgiven her all her sins by reverting to Islam, never the less, the sins she is describing have no value and may do more harm than good. Any weak person with weak Iman may be affected by her description of sins and may wish that he can […]

Have an absurd question, which troubles me. Thing is I like long hair a lot!!! In fact I can’t imagine a wife without long, healthy, shiny hair. I don’t know why would any woman want to have their hair short but some actually do. Now since we can’t see her hair, can we ask how long her hair is? Problem is that it just sounds so wrong but I don’t want to take a chance either. Maybe that’s where sisters would come in handy. What if somebody doesn’t have a mother/sister to ‘see’ the girl? I actually find that wrong too. I mean this is not a sale or anything that you need to scrutinize everything. So any solutions???

In a non muslim country men and women are treated the same .. but I know you should no shake hands with a person who is not your mahram. All eyes were on me to shake her hand and the I was pressured to shake the hand Usually I dont shake hands with no mahram but in such a pressure situation and such a environment and atmosphere it was hard to resist. Is there any fatwa regarding this situation. i pray to allah and repent for my sins (as stafir allah wa atooba illay)

…………………………………………………. What you have done is wrong and a sin and the justification you gave is not legitimate. You have to have dignity in your religion without violence or rudeness. You can simply apologize that it is against your religion to shake hands with the opposite sex. It would be a bit embracing and […]

He should tolerate his father’s behavior and not reply to him in any fashion that would be considered impolite. He should try to explain his point of view but if the father doesn’t accept it, he should not peruse trying to convince him. one should supplicate to Allah that he would guide his parents to […]
