Fiqh of Marriage

Well, first of all, you should show your anger of such a question and say that this is inappropriate and he is insulted by such a question! How would the father feel if he was asked: has your daughter been talking with other boys on the phone or chatting with them or going out with her friends at school? […]

My question is, “Can a would be wife put a clause before marriage that only she will marry him if he (would be husband) leave his parents home and live with her in another home”?

Yes, this is her right.

Shaykh in Islam what is the ruling on marrying first cousins or relatives? Is it encouraged or discouraged? You see in our communities it is seen as being a bit “odd” and so people kind of look down on you if you do that. I don’t want to go against Islam as I know many early marriages were to cousins.

This is neither encouraged neither discouraged rather this is permissible. Zainab, may Allah be pleased with her was the first cousin of the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam. Ali was the cousin of our Prophet and he married his daughter Fatimah may Allah be pleased with them.

In-sha-Allah within a few months I will be getting married. I would like to know if a kuthba and dua is to be delivered before the Nikha, because this is the usual practice in my place.

This is not from the sunnah but if it takes place without any planning, such Duaa is ok in sha Allah.

Sheikh I’m getting married in 2 and a half weeks. My fiancé’s grandfather died 4 days ago. I know that mourning in Islam is only 3 days, would it be appropriate to continue with the Nikah? We had planned a segregated ceremony in a hall where food would be served. Should it be toned down – Nikah in the Masjid? My parents may lose the deposit on the hall.
