Can I buy an abaya from a lady who asked me to send money beforehand so that she may go to the market and buy cloth required in making it. I’ll be giving her money before she herself possesses the fabric. And even after that she’ll get it stitched and dispatched. Shall I get involved in this type of transaction?

This is permissible if you are hiring her to do this! So, you know how much the fabric will cost and how much she is charging you for her work.

Assalaamu alaikum, Women must not be photographed nor filmed. You can keep your digital photos of males only. As for the hard copy for both men and women, I would advise you to destroy that just to be on the safe side.

Dear Shaikh, May Allah give you good health and honor. There is a message in circulation 90% meat supplied to fast food chains are Haraam and this Message(Fatwa) issued by Mufti Nana and Mufti Taqi Usmani(Deobandis), because of this message spreading like wild fire since few years people are getting panicked and questioning about the Halaal source in Saudi Arabia. I am sure this is done deliberately to distort the image of Saudi arabia. Can you please clarify on this matter. SEE BELOW MESSAGE THAT IS IN CIRCULATION. A warning to those Intending to perform Umrah or Hajj: Mufti Abdullah Nana, the founding member of the Halal Advocates of America, says:”I can personally verify that machine slaughtered chicken, meat not slaughtered by a Muslim, & doubtful meat is imported into Saudi Arabia.The senior body of scholars in Saudi Arabia (the Hay’ah Kibaril Ulama) has formally issued a 50 page fatwa that all imported meat is haram.It is a major travesty and perhaps a conspiracy that millions of Muslims that visit Makkah/Madinah every year are eating haram/doubtful food”There are local hand slaughter suppliers, but only a small percentage. 90% of fast food chains (McDondalds, KFC etc) including Al-Baik use imported meat

Assalaamu alaikum, This is baseless and not true and such individuals have no credibility nor affiliation here in Saudi Arabia. I trust our Saudi officials responsible for guarding our boarders and ensuring that only acceptable products are imported. I personally eat from such restaurants without any hesitation.   May Allaah guide us all!
