Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.  Celebrating the anniversary of the death of Sheikh Abdel Kader Jillani is an aberrant innovation, and calling him the (Gouth Aazam) greatest help is the most heinous injustice.  It is Kufr if someone believes that he (Jillani) can help those who seek his help instead of Allah or that he is controlling the world, etc� If someone slaughters to anything other than Allah, he is associating and making partners with Allah and that takes him out of Islam because slaughtering is an act of worship and if this act is devoted to anything other than Allah it is Shirk.Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).}[6:162]. Allah further Says (interpretation of meaning): {Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad ( (saw) )) Al-Kauthar (a river in Paradise); Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).}[108:1-2].The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "Allah has cursed whoever slaughters (makes sacrifices) to other than Allah", reported by Muslim.Therefore it becomes an obligation to stay away from this anniversary and whatever evil things occur on this occasion, and to warn people against it and advice the Ummah to stay away from it. Allah knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger. You have included many questions in your inquiry; our system is to answer one of them and ask you to kindly resend the other questions each at a time. So we shall only respond to the first question in this Fatwa. You asked about the permissibility of making a daily payment in return for advertising on Facebook, and whenever the advertiser wishes to increase the number of the viewers, he has to pay extra money to have the advertisement published on pages with many visitors (to increase the potential views of the Facebook ads). If this is what you mean, then there is no harm in that. The fact that the sum paid if the advertiser wants his advertisement to be published on pages with a greater number of visitors is larger does not have any effect on the permissibility of the transaction.If this is not what you meant, then please clarify your question further so that we can answer it more specifically. Also, resend the rest of the inquiries each as individual questions.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. The extra amount beyond the due Zakaah (payable by your wife) is considered as optional charity. Accordingly, it is not sufficient to deduct it from the Zakaah for the current year (in terms of clearing her liability from the obligation in this regard) given the absence of the intention (when she spent the extra amount), which is a condition for the validity of the Zakaah payment. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked a similar question cited in Liqaa’ Al-Baab Al-Maftooh. It reads: “Question: Your Eminence, a man owns a real-estate property and wanted to pay Zakaah on it. He paid 100 riyals for every 1,000 riyals (10%) and was informed afterward that he should have paid 25 riyals only for every 1,000 riyals (2.5%). What is the ruling in this regard?Answer: The extra amount beyond the due Zakaah payment is considered charity. If a person pays an extra amount of Zakaah believing that it is the obligatory amount he has to pay, then the extra amount is regarded as charity. Allah, The Exalted, may grant him equal rewards to those for Zakaah, which are greater than the rewards for an optional charity. This man paid 10% instead of 2.5%; the extra amount is 7.5%. Had he paid such amount in charity, he would have earned the rewards for charity. However, if he pays them as Zakaah, he earns greater rewards because Allah, The Exalted, Said in the Qudsi Hadeeth: ‘My slave draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him.’ However, one may ask, ‘If this man intended to consider that extra amount (7.5%) to be (deducted from) the Zakaah payments of three coming years, would this be valid in terms of clearing his liability?’ No, this would not be valid in terms of clearing his liability, because the Prophet (saw) said: ‘Indeed, actions are judged according to the intentions, and every person will get the reward of what he has intended.’” [End of quote]It should be noted that the jewelry intended for lawful use (as adornment) is not subject to Zakaah according to the majority of the scholars. However, paying Zakaah on such jewelry is more prudent in order to remain on the safe side in terms of clearing one’s liability and to avoid the difference of opinion, as some scholars held that it is obligatory to pay Zakaah on such jewelry.Allah Knows best.

Answer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Using an anesthetic that contains alcohol before operating a surgical operation is permissible if there is no alternate, but such a patient should use it only to the extent of his need.Imam al-Nawawi in his book "al-Majmooa" wrote, 'al-Shafi'iyah said drinking medicine that causes loss of mind is permissible at the time of necessity, in this case, such a person has not to make up the missed prayers at the time of losing his mind. Because he lost his mind for a lawful reason. If one whose hand is infected with cancroids needs to use some anesthetic to have his hand cut off, he may use it according to the most correct opinion'.Imam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali mentioned in his book "Jame al-Uloom wa al-Hikam" using an intoxicant that causes loss of mind and does not give any pleasure such as henbane is permissible for the purpose of medication if its usefulness is proved by experience.Allah knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.Firstly, organ donation is permissible provided that certain conditions are met, as has been explained in fatwa 86647. It is also allowable to transplant an organ from a dead person to a living person provided that certain conditions are met. We have also underlined that there is no religious impediment to transplanting an organ between a Muslim and a non-Muslim provided that the due conditions of organ transplantation are met, as has been explained in fataawa 197739 and 84542. As for organ exchange, there is no harm in it as long as it is a donation, but if it involves stipulated conditions, then it appears - and Allaah knows best - that it resembles selling, and the selling of organs is forbidden according to the resolution of the Islamic Fiqh Council, which says, "It is impermissible to subject human organs to sale under any circumstances. As for the beneficiary spending money in order to obtain the required organ where necessary or offering a reward to the donor or honoring him, this is subject to ijtihaad (juristic reasoning) and further discussion." Hence, organ exchange (which you mentioned) should not be opted for except in case of necessity.It is permissible to transplant an organ from a dead person to a living person whose life depends on receiving that organ or whose vital functions would otherwise be impaired on the condition that permission is given either by the person before his death or by his heirs after his death or by the Muslim ruler or leader in cases where the dead person�s identity is unknown or has no heirs. For more benefit, please refer to fataawa 84780 and 81180.Allaah knows best.

Answer: Dear Br. M. As-salaamu alaykum. You can survive in the Pakistani environment like all those committed Muslims who have done so. While corruption, violence, and other negative aspects are very common, it is still the duty of every person, especially the practicing Muslims, to improve the situation of their own people. Try to be patient and view the hardship as a challenge and a test from God, which, through perseverance, will bring you a lot of reward. If the good people leave, then the worst people stay and will make the situation even worse. As to your second question, unfortunately, we don�t know of the address where you can purchase the book.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger.

Children should obey their parents. This obedience includes all aspects of life. Since marriage is a decisive turning point in the person's life, you should seek your parents' advice as in choosing the woman who will be your wife, who will be the mother of your children, and hence, will have a special relation with your father and mother. This does not mean that the man needs a guardian like the woman, neither does it mean that one of the two witnesses should be the man's father. This is, as we mentioned earlier, part of obedience, good deeds and pleasing of one's parents.

So, we believe that you should talk to your father about your marriage explaining to him the reasons of your marriage to that girl even if this requires his coming to Romania to visit you and her. But the most important thing is that you should be prepared to listen to him and accept his opinion and act according to it. Know that the father is very keen on achieving the well being to his children and he has more experience than you. But if you happen to marry this girl, do your best to strengthen your matrimonial relation with her and to teach her Islam. Behave with her in an Islamic way, so that her heart becomes more lenient to Islam, her new religion.

Allah knows best.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions. The scholars agreed that when 'Umar conquered Ancient Syria, he set it as an endowment. The reason was that during his reign there were many conquests and the Islamic state expanded, therefore its expenses increased. So, 'Umar considered that he should not divide the land which was conquered by force among the conquerors, rather he thought of setting it as an endowment for all the Muslims and imposed a given tax on whoever sows the land. Al-Awzaa'i said: 'When 'Umar, and the companions conquered Ancient Syria, they agreed to leave village dwellers in their villages with whatever land they had, so that they would cultivate it and pay tax on it to the Muslims. They were of the view that no Muslim should buy the land that these villagers had, and these villagers should not sell it to them neither by their own will nor being forced to do so. The Muslims disliked buying or appropriating the land because 'Umar, and the companions agreed to set these lands as an endowment for the entire Muslims. This land should not be sold or inherited as it will be used as a force in making Jihaad against the non-Muslims whom the Muslims have not yet fought against.'Allaah Knows best.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.Palestine is a Muslim land. It is the land of the prophets. So, no disbeliever (Jew, Christian or atheist) has any right in ruling it or governing it with disbelief and atheism.The Jewish claim that Allah promised them the Holy land is baseless. It is only a falsity. In fact Allah prescribed this land for Muslims in all times. He prescribed it for believers (Muslims) in the era of Prophet Musa (Moses),may Allah exalt his mention), who was himself a Muslim as were all the prophets. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning) that: "Musa said to his people: "O my people! If you have believed in Allah, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims (those who submit to Allah's Will)." (Yunus 10:84)Allah ordered Prophet Musa and those who followed him to enter the sacred land and expel the giants (animists who used to live in Palestine) away from the Bayt Al Maqdis which these giants took over earlier- Allah says that Musa said to his people: "And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: "O my people! Remember the Favour of Allah to you, when He made Prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He had not given to any other among the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns, in the past). "O my people! Enter the holy land (Palestine) which Allah has assigned to you, and turn not back (in flight) for then you will be returned as losers." (Al-Ma'idah 5: 20-21)Allaah ordered them to invade this Holy land because it is a Muslim land that should not be ruled by the giant disbelievers who ruled with polytheist and Kufr judgments.The same thing applies to the contemporary era. The Jews who did not believe in the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and indeed in Musa, as disbelieving in one prophet means disbelieving in all the prophets, these Jews have no right to rule Palestine. And Allah never promised it to them. Indeed the contemporary Jews are no better than the giant people whom Musa expelled from Palestine. Palestine was a Muslim land and will remain as such forever.Allah knows best.

Answer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.Palestinians should never sell land to Jews no matter how much these Jews pay.  The reason is that these Jews are enemies and the land helps them do more oppression and practice more tyranny. There is no difference in this ruling between selling the land directly to them or through a broker as in both cases; it is they who will own the land.Now, if one of the heirs without the consent of his partners in the inheritance sells a piece of land to some Jews, it is he who is held responsible for this transaction and the sin is incurred by him.  But if some of these heirs, or all of them give their consent to this deal, then they all fall in sin.  Although the person(s) who sold the piece of land are sinful, the deal is valid if it meets the conditions of valid transactions.  This is because initially selling and buying are lawful with the People of the Book.  But in this transaction, they are made forbidden for a temporary reason.From the above we conclude that there is no objection to take your share of the inheritance and spend from it on yourself and on your family provided the deal has already been struck.Allah knows best.

Answer: Dear Br. A. As-salaamu alaykum. Palm reading and all other forms of fortune-telling activities are strictly prohibited (Haram) in Islam. A Muslim should sincerely believe from his/her bottom of the heart that only Allah knows the future and the unknown. This applies regardless if the fortune-teller is talking about past or about future events of the life of a person. Thank you for asking and God knows best.

Answer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.Know that all forms of astrology such as palmistry, telling one's future depending on stars or cup-reading are completely Haram in Islam. Allah and His Messenger consider such actions as major sins, since they are based on quackery and delusion.Many sound Hadith warned us from such deeds and stated punishment for those who engage in them. Abu Dawood reported from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "A person who learns a part of astrology is as if he learns magic, and the more he learns this, the more he learns of magic" .Another Hadith by al-Nasa'i from Abu Hurairah reads: "Whoever puts his trust in something (sayings of soothsayers and so on), that will be its only supporter, i.e. he will not receive the Divine help nor success" .A third Hadith recorded by Imam Muslim reads: "Whoever goes to a soothsayer and asks him about something, will lose the recompense of his prayers for forty days (or Allah will not accept his prayers)" .Moreover, if this visitor of the soothsayer believes his saying, the punishment will be: "A person who goes to a soothsayer and affirms the correctness of the soothsayer's saying, will be considered a disbeliever in what was revealed to Muhammad " . Since Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {Say: "None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (unseen) except Allah, �} [27: 65]. {"(He Alone) the All-Knower of the Gha'ib (unseen), and He reveals to none His Gha'ib (unseen)." Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes), �.} [72: 26-27].A fourth Hadith reads: "Whoever augers ill omen or the same thing is done on his behalf, predicts the happening of something, or the same is done on his behalf is not of us (Muslims)" .Therefore, a Muslim is strongly required to avoid such things and to advise others in this concern if he wants to keep his faith safe.Allah knows best.

Answer: Dear Sr. S: As-salaamu alaykum. You should preferably burn the paper, use fine paper shredders, or put it in paper-only recycling bins. You don't have to do this everyday, just collect the paper you want, and once in a while, burn it or dispose of it in the methods mentioned above.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. Allaah says (what means): {Have you not considered how Allaah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? It produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord. And Allaah presents examples for the people that perhaps they will be reminded. And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any stability.}[Quran 14:24-26] These two verses include two parables that Allaah offers about faith in the heart of a believer, and idolatry in the heart of an idolater. Here is As-Sa�di's interpretation of these verses (summarized). He said: "Allaah says {Have you not considered how Allaah presents an example, [making] a good word}, which is the testimony of Laa Ilaaha Illa Allaah (None has the right to be worshipped but Allaah) and its branches, {like a good tree,} namely the palm tree, {whose root is firmly fixed} in the earth {and its branches} are spread {[high] in the sky} and it always gives abundant benefit...{It produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord.}. So is the tree of faith. Its root of knowledge and belief is firmly fixed in the heart of the believer, and its branches of good words, good deeds, pleasing conduct, and good morals are always ascending to Allaah in the heavens. The believer benefits from the actions and words that the tree of faith produces and he benefits others from it...Then Allaah mentioned its opposite, namely the word of disbelief and its branches. He said {And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree,} bad to eat. This is the tree of colocynth and the like, {uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any stability.}, that is, having no firmness, as it has no veins to hold it and no good fruit to produce; rather, if ever it had any fruit, it is bad fruit. Similarly, the word of Kufr (disbelief) and disobedience is not fixed in the heart to any benefit and does not produce fruits except every evil word and evil deed that harm and does not benefit its doer. No good deed ascends to Allaah from him. He does not benefit himself and he does not benefit others..." [End of quote] Allaah Knows best.

Answer: Dear Br. A. As-salaamu alaykum. The only people who will enter Paradise are those who believe in the oneness of God. Any group of people who disbelieves or associates anything with God will not qualify for Heaven. This is the rule for both Muslims and non-Muslims, including the Christians and Jews. How God will judge human kinds at the end is up to Him, although Muslims believe that Allah�s Judgment is The Most Fair, Most Just, and Most Right. Thank you for asking and God knows best.

Answer: 255: Dear Zaneb. As-Salaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu. We really apologize for the delay in replying to your question. We got delayed during the month of Ramadan. Right now, we are catching up with the backlog, and we will be reducing the reply time to minimum in short time. Regarding your questions, 1-there is nothing to my knowledge in the Qur'an that talks about the colors of heaven. We have not seen it but the Qur'an does mention the colors on earth such as the yellow cow in Surah Al Bakara verse 69.Still Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) described the heaven as a place ''that has what no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no fear on heart of the human'. From this we may be able to deduce that indeed the heaven does contain colors that will embellish the birds that will eat, the palaces, the rivers of honey and so on. The most important thing for us is, God willing, to enter it. 2- Regarding making up for the past prescribed prayers and seeing if the status can be totally reclaimed, we cannot know but what we are able to say is that whoever makes up a past due prayer is indeed following the order of Allah and Allah has promised his obedient servants with a lot of reward and He does not break His promises . The issue of salvation, punishment and reward will only be decided by Allah Almighty on the day of judgement. Therefore, every muslim should follow the sharia as close as he/she can and Allah is kind to his servants.3- Regarding your question of Sahih Tartib please explain what you mean .It may have many meanings in arabic. Ramadan Moubarak.

Answer: Dear Sr. E. As-salaamu alaykum. The Muslim enters paradise through the Mercy and the Grace of Allah that He bestows on His servants because nobody's actions are comparable or even get close to the reward that Allah Almighty gives. Still, we are asked to do good deeds during our lifetime. That's why, verses where revealed and Hadiths were stated to encourage us to do good deeds and avoid the bad deeds. The duty of each Muslim is to abide by these Islamic recommendations and to ask Allah to have the Will to let the Muslim enter paradise. Thank you for asking and God knows best.

Answer: Dear Br. R. As-salaamu alaykum. There are several opinions about the location of Paradise. Some Muslim scholars argue that it is above the skies, while other Muslim scholars argue that it is better to avoid guessing about the physical place of Paradise and simply believe in its existence, because there are several proofs that are contradicting to each others. As to the issue of the fate of the earth, by the time the Day of Resurrection takes place, the earth will no longer exist and nothing on it will remain. Thank you for asking and God knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger. The highest aspiration any wise person can hope for is to enter Paradise, the abode of happy people, and to be saved from Hell, the abode of the wretched. Thus, the supplications of the Prophet (saw) generally revolved around these two wishes.The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said that his supplications at the end of his prayers were either asking to enter Paradise or seeking refuge from Hell. [Abu Daawood, Ibn Maajah and Ibn Khuzaymah] The Companions of the Prophet (saw) used to have the same aspirations and their supplications were generally about asking to enter Paradise and being saved from Hell. Also, the highest wish of all the righteous and pious people was to enter Paradise. Thus, they always implored Allaah to admit them into Paradise and they sought refuge with Him from Hell.In a narration on the authority of Abu Hurayrah the Prophet (saw) said that Allaah summoned the angels to witness that He forgave people who gathered and glorified Allaah, asked Him for Paradise and sought refuge with Him from Hell. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]As for the pleasure of Allaah, one can gain once he enters Paradise, because it is then that Allaah will grant him His Pleasure. In a narration on the authority of Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri the Prophet (saw) stated that Allaah will be pleased with the people of Paradise and He will never be discontent with them. This will be better for them than any bliss they experience. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] In conclusion, entering Paradise and being saved from Hell are the highest aspirations that a person can wish for. There is no contradiction between entering Paradise and attaining the Pleasure of Allaah, for they are inseparably connected. We implore Allaah to grant us all Muslims Paradise and save us from Hell. Allaah Knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger. First of all, it is not true that Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said that Hell is not imperishable and nothing of this has been found in any of his printed and commonly-used books. What actually happened is that his student, Ibn Al-Qayyim reported on his authority that the righteous predecessors had two opinions concerning this issue and he mentioned some relevant citations reported on the authority of the Companions . However, in his own books, Ibn Taymiyyah confirmed the eternal nature of Paradise and Hell. He also reported the scholars� and Imaams� consensus on this issue.The researcher, Dr. 'Ali Ibn 'Ali Jaabir undertook the responsibility of clarifying the opinion of Shaykh Al-Islam and his student, Ibn Al-Qayyim on this issue. Some of the points that Dr. Jaabir reported on the authority of Ibn Taymiyyah were:1- Ibn Taymiyyah was once asked about the authenticity of the Hadeeth that was reported on the authority of Anas where the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam , mentioned that there are seven things that neither die nor perish. These seven things are: Hell and its dwellers, the Preserved Tablet, the Pen, the Kursi (Chair) and the Throne. His answer to this question was that the wording of this citation had not been reported on the authority of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, but rather reported on the authority of some scholars. He added that there was consensus among the righteous predecessors, Imaams and the people of Ahl As-Sunnah wa'l Jamaa'ah (the Sunni mainstream) on the fact that some parts of creation are imperishable and will not cease to exist; among these are: Hell, Paradise and the Throne. Only a group of scholars who were innovators in religion like Al-Jahm Ibn Safwaan and those who agree with him from among the Mu'tazilah and their likes say that all creation will inevitably perish. This is a falsehood that contradicts the Quran, Sunnah and the consensus of scholars.2- Ibn Taymiyyah quoted the words of Imaam Abu'l-Hasan Al-Ash'ari when refuting the claims of Al-Jahm Ibn Safwaan. Al-Ash'ari mentioned that scholars had two different opinions with regard to the issue of whether or not the acts of Allaah The Almighty will come to an end. Al-Jahm Ibn Safwaan believed that the Knowledge, Power and acts of Allaah The Almighty will come to an end. He also believed that Hell and Paradise will cease to exist and so will their dwellers until no one will be left but Allaah The Almighty, just as He had been before He created all things. Conversely, all Muslim scholars stated that Hell and Paradise are eternal and imperishable as will be their dwellers. They also stated that there is no end to the Knowledge and Power of Allaah The Almighty.3- Ibn Taymiyyah acknowledged the scholars� consensus on this issue that was reported by Ibn Hazm . Ibn Hazm mentioned that Hell is a fact and that it is the abode of eternal torment; it will never perish and neither will its dwellers. Ibn Taymiyyah did not comment on this despite the fact that he criticized many other stances made by Ibn Hazm.4- When discussing the issue that creatures had an infinite beginning, Ibn Taymiyyah said that no one disputed this except some of the innovators in religion who believe that Hell and Paradise are not eternal, like Al-Jahm Ibn Safwaan; or that the movements of the dwellers of Paradise are not permanent, like Abu'l-Huthayl.5- Ibn Taymiyyah reported that the majority of Sunni scholars say that Hell and Paradise are everlasting and the events that occur therein are constantly renewed. However, Al-Jahm Ibn Safwaan denied this and claimed that Hell and Paradise are not permanent. Abu'l-Huthayl Al-'Allaaf claimed that the motion of the dwellers of Hell and Paradise will come to an end and that they will remain in a state of permanent immobility. Their opinions were based on their denial of the possibility of the eternal nature of the creation, whether in the past or the future, and for this they were accused of straying from the straight path.In fact, Ibn Al-Qayyim mentioned that Ibn Taymiyyah wrote a famous book discussing this very issue, but it was never found. Moreover, Al-Haafith Ibn 'Abdul-Haadi mentioned, while enumerating the writings of Ibn Taymiyyah that he established a rule for refuting the claims of those who say that Paradise and Hell are not everlasting.The accusation of disbelief that is made against Shaykh Al-Islam is a false and unfair accusation because, in fact, Ibn Taymiyyah was acknowledged as a virtuous and knowledgeable Imaam by all those who agreed with him as well as those who disagreed.For further information, please see Fatwa 81191.Allaah Knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger. The followers of the Sunnah (tradition) believe that Paradise and Hell will not perish. This was stated by At-Tahaawi. Ibn Hazm also mentioned that all sects of this Ummah (nation), except Al-Jahm ibn Safwaan, agree that Paradise and its bliss and Hell and its torment are eternal. The texts of the Quran and Sunnah support this fact. For example, Allaah The Almighty Says (what means) about the inhabitants of Hell: �        {Indeed, those who disbelieve and commit wrong [or injustice] -- never will Allaah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a path. Except the path of Hell; they will abide therein forever. And that, for Allaah, is [always] easy.} [Quran 4:168-169]�        {Indeed, Allaah has cursed the disbelievers and prepared for them a Blaze. Abiding therein forever, they will not find a protector or a helper.} [Quran 33:64-65]�        {And whoever disobeys Allaah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.} [Quran 72:23]�        {Indeed, the criminals will be in the punishment of Hell, abiding eternally. It will not be allowed to subside for them, and they, therein, are in despair.} [Quran 43:74-75]�        {And whoever disobeys Allaah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits - He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment.} [Quran 4:14]�        {That is the recompense of the enemies of Allaah � the Fire. For them therein is the home of eternity as recompense for what they, of Our verses, were rejecting.} [Quran 41:28] Thus, Hell will last and never perish. Likewise, its inhabitants from among the disbelievers and hypocrites will remain. Only the sinning monotheists will be allowed to leave Hell due to intercession or after they will have been purified and refined. With respect to Paradise and its dwellers, Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):�        {Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds -- those are the best of creatures. Their reward with Allaah will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allaah being pleased with them and they with Him. That is for whoever has feared his Lord.} [Quran 98:7-8]�        {They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire.} [Quran 44:56]�        {Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds -- they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging, Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.} [Quran 18:107-108]�        {Its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous.} [Quran 13:35]�        {Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion.} [Quran 38:54]There are also many other verses.In a Hadeeth on the authority of Abu Sa'eed, the Prophet (saw) mentioned that on the Day of Resurrection Allaah The Almighty will create death in the form of a black and white ram (with the white area being greater than black). It will be put in a place between Paradise and Hell. Then it will be asked, "O people of Paradise! Do you know what this is?" Thereupon they will turn their heads and look carefully, and say, "Yes, this is Death." Then it will be asked again, "O people of Hell! Do you know what this is?" They will turn their heads and look carefully, and say, "Yes, this is Death." Then it will be ordered to slaughter the ram, and it will be said, "O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death. O people of Hell! Eternity for you and no death".This is the truth which the followers of the Sunnah unanimously agree upon, based on the well-established texts of the Quran and Sunnah.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. The term 'God�s Kingdom� should not be used to refer to Paradise because there is no evidence about this in the Book of Allaah or the Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu the Sunnah 'alayhi wa sallam. In addition to this, it might be understood that it is only Paradise that is the kingdom of Allaah, whereas the entire universe is part of His Kingdom. Allaah Says (what means): {Say," O Allaah, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will.} [Quran 3:26]Our belief in 'Eesa (Jesus) is what is mentioned in the Quran and in the Sunnah, that he is a slave of Allaah and His Messenger, and we do not believe that he is a Lord or a God or that he is a partner with Allaah in anything in His Sovereign, because all this is clear disbelief (in Allaah).For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 88187, 87745, 85366 and 84206.Allaah Knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.If a person stated, firmly believed in, acted according to, and disbelieved in that which would be contrary to the Two Testimonies of Faith: "There is none worthy of worship except Allaah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah," and died without changing this belief, he would enter Paradise. In a Hadeeth narrated on the authority of 'Ubaadah ibn As-Saamit the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said that if a person believed that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, that 'Eesaa (Jesus) was the Slave and Messenger of Allaah and the word of Allaah The Almighty which He directed to Maryam (Mary) and is a spirit from Allaah The Almighty, that Paradise is true, and that Hell is true, then Allaah would make this person enter Paradise. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]There are also several other Hadeeths in this concern. Allaah Knows best.

A Muslim should believe in the Day of Judgment. There will be great changes in this world from the beginning of that Day. The heavens will split asunder, the stars will fall and scatter, the earth will crumble and become a bare dry soil, the mountains will be heap of sand poured out and flowing down, and everything on the earth will be destroyed.

Allah Says (what means): {On the Day when the earth will be changed to another earth and so will be the heavens, and they (all creatures) will appear before Allah, the One, the Irresistible.} [Quran 14: 48]

Then, the Trumpet will be blown for a second time and all the people will raise again with their souls and bodies. At that time the disbelievers and hypocrites will say (what means): {"O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."} [Quran 36: 52]

After that they will be gathered in a place for judgment and justice. Allah Says (what means): {On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation. And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst.} [Quran 19: 85-86]

At that time Allah will reward everyone according to his deeds. Allah Says (what means): {Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it; and whoever comes with an evil deed - then those who did evil deeds will not be recompensed except [as much as] what they used to do.} [Quran 28: 84]

This will be done after a just trial, checking in the written pages of deeds and weighing good and bad deeds. Then people will return from the place of Judgment to pass on the bridge laid across Hell. Everyone who passes safely will enter Paradise and whoever cannot pass will go to the Hellfire. Allah Says (what means): {Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.} [Quran 19: 72]

All the above are very brief details about the Day of Judgment.

Those who enter Paradise will stay in full comfort and eternal blessings since the hardship ends with the end of this world, while the Hereafter is the place of reward not the place of deeds.

The Prophet (saw) said: “Allah said, 'I have prepared for My pious worshipers such things as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever imagined. All that is reserved, besides which, all that you have seen, is nothing." Then he recited: {And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do.} [Quran 32.17]” [Al-Bukhari and Ibn Maajah]

Allah informed us of the saying of the inhabitants of the Paradise; Allah Says (what means): {And they will say, "Praise be to Allah, who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth [so] we may settle in Paradise wherever we will. And excellent is the reward of [righteous] workers."} [Quran 39: 74]

The people in Paradise will be inspired the Tasbeeh (i.e. saying: Glory be to Allah) and the Tahmeed (i.e. saying: Praise be to Allah) just as breathing.

Finally, a Muslim should believe in the Hereafter and there is no prayer, fasting or other religious obligations in the Hereafter. There is only the reward of deeds.

For more benefit on Paradise, please refer to Fataawa 340924, 339019, 327145, 28419, and 11317.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.As a matter of fact, Paradise is not a place for reproduction or giving birth. The women of Paradise are purified and free from all types of filth and impurity. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means), Describing them: {And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.} [Quran 2:25]Scholars of Tafseer said, "They are purified wives from answering the call of nature, urine, menstruation, pregnancy, post-partum bleeding, filth and all other kinds of impurities."Additionally, young boys from the boys of Paradise will go around serving the people of Paradise so they are in no need for children or servants as Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {There will circulate among them young boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think them [as beautiful as] scattered pearls.} [Quran 76:19]This is an agreed-upon fact. However, some scholars are of the opinion that nothing prevents having children for the one who likes so. This is proved by general and specific evidences such as the Saying of Allaah The Almighty (Which means):�        {And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally.} [Quran 43:17]�        {They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more.} [Quran 50:35]As for the Hadeeths, it was narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "If the believer in Paradise wishes for a child, then it will be conceived and delivered, and will grow to the desired age in an instant."  [Ahmad, Abu Daawood, An-Nasaa�i, At-Tirmithi and Ibn Maajah] [At-Tirmithi: Hasan] [Al-Albaani: Authentic]At-Tirmithi said that scholars hold different views concerning this issue. Some of them said that in Paradise, there will be sexual intercourse, but there will be no children. That is also what Taawoos, Mujaahid and An-Nakha'i said. He added that Al-Bukhari said about the following Hadeeth of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam: "If the believer in Paradise wishes for a child, then it will be conceived and delivered, and will grow to the desired age in an instant. However, he will not wish for that." It was narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "The People of Paradise will have no children in it."  The narration reported by Imaam Ahmad does not have: "However, he will not wish for that."In conclusion, it becomes clear that there is no Sharee'ah-related or logical impediment from having children in Paradise for those who like it. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And with Us is more.} [Quran 50:35]. It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas'ood that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "If anyone wishes to eat birds in Paradise, he will immediately find it in his hand grilled." [Ahmad and An-Nasaa�i]However, it can be also said that this is an exception because most of the people of Paradise will not wish to have children.Allaah Knows best.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. The expression 'Paradise is under the feet of mothers� is not a verse from the Quran as you mentioned. However, a similar authentic narration is reported in this regard. The Prophet (saw) advised one companion to be kind and dutiful to his mother saying: "Be dutiful to your mother, as Paradise is at her foot.", meaning be dutiful to her, obey her, and serve her and take care of her because being kind and dutiful to the parents and pleasing them is a reason of being admitted to Paradise. However, this does not apply to Muslim mothers only. Indeed, Allaah ordered us to be kind and dutiful to our parents even if they are non-Muslims. For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 89177 and 91756, and for more benefit on being kind and dutiful to non-Muslim parents, please refer to Fatwa 85180.Allaah Knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions. This expression "Paradise is under the feet of the mothers.",  is not confirmed to be said by the Prophet (saw) however, its meaning is correct and is confirmed in another narration in which a man came to the Prophet (saw) asking him permission to fight with him in Jihaad and he had a mother, so he (saw) told him: "Stay with her as Paradise is under her feet." [Ahmad, An-Nasaa'ee and Ibn Maajah]As regards the expression "Whoever learns a language of a people, he is more aware and secure from their evils or plots.", is not confirmed to be a narration of the Prophet (saw) as far as we know after investigation, but its meaning is correct.  Allaah Knows best.

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger.  The attribution of the saying: "Paradise is under the mothers' feet" is not established in the Sunnah, however its meaning is true and is narrated in an authentic prophetic narration. The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, ordered the man who had a mother and came seeking the permission of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, to join him in a battle, to stay with his mother because Paradise was at her feet.[Ahmad, An-Nasaa�i and Ibn Maajah] As for the saying: "Anyone who learns the language of another people will be saved from their evil or their deception," we did not find any trace for it in any of the references of Hadeeth.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.Allah, the Exalted, prepared Paradise for His obedient servants from the men and women of this world. This is proven by what Allah, the Exalted, mentioned in the Quran; that Paradise is promised for the obedient male or female, as in the following verses:�    {And their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of (any) worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward."} [Quran 3:195]�    {And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, (even as much as) the speck on a date seed} [Quran 4:124]�    {Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.} [Quran 40:40] Allah knows best.

Answer: Dear Sr. A. As-salaamu alaykum. What we know is that men will have damsels (nymphs- known as the Maids of Paradise) with large black eyes as stated in the Qur'an, but we don't know more details about this. However, there will be sexual intercourse in Heaven which is similar to earthly intercourse. This is one of the bounties that God gives to His servants like providing them with good foods and tasty drinks in Heaven. However, Heavenly intercourse will not include sperm because sperm is considered impure and Heaven doesn't contain any impurities. Still, such type of intercourse will be a pleasurable experience, and will be the right to everyone who enters Heaven including the believers who were single on earth. Please note that the believing women will also have a share of the Heavenly pleasures. Thank you for asking and God knows best.

Answer: Wa 'Alaykum Assalam Wa Rahmatulahi Wa Barakatuh. In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Dear brother, we are really pleased to have your question and to have the chance to convey some of the teachings of our religion to our Muslim brothers. It is confirmed from Quran and Sunnah that there are different degrees of rank in Jannah. From some of the narrations(hadiths) it is understood that there are hundred ranks of Jannah. Allah says: 4:95 " Those of the believers who sit still, other than those who have a (disabling) hurt, are not on an equality with those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. Allah hath conferred on those who strive with their wealth and lives a rank above the sedentary. Unto each Allah hath promised good, but He hath bestowed on those who strive a great reward above the sedentary; " 4:96 " Degrees of rank from Him, and forgiveness and mercy. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. " 58:11 " Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have knowledge, to high ranks. Allah is informed of what ye do." 6:132 "For all there will be ranks from what they did Thy Lord is not unaware of what they do. " There are eight gates of Jannah. Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 54. Beginning Of Creation. Hadith 479. Narrated By Sahl bin Sad: The Prophet said, "Paradise has eight gates, and one of them is called Ar-RAIYAN through which none will enter but those who observe fasting." The Prophet also said, "If a person spends two different kinds of something (for Allah's Cause), he will be called from the gates of Paradise." Bukhari, Vol 3, Book 31. Fasting. Hadith 121. Narrated By Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever gives two kinds (of things or property) in charity for Allah's Cause, will be called from the gates of Paradise and will be addressed, 'O slaves of Allah! Here is prosperity.' So, whoever was amongst the people who used to offer their prayers, will be called from the gate of the prayer; and whoever was amongst the people who used to participate in Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad; and whoever was amongst those who used to observe fasts, will be called from the gate of Ar-RAIYAN; whoever was amongst those who used to give in charity, will be called from the gate of charity." Abu Bakr said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle! No distress or need will befall him who will be called from those gates. Will there be any one who will be called from all these gates?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, and I hope you will be one of them." Allah says: 52:21 "And they who believe and whose seed(descendants) follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We deprive them of naught of their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned. " Hence if we and our offsprings are same in Iman but due to the deeds one is at a higher rank and other is at a lower rank then Allah has promised to join them together in the higher rank of Jannah. A believer may do the acts like these: Muslim, Book 13. Bequests. Hadith 4005. Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: When a MAN DIES, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased). Once he dies then he can't do any thing. Wassalam and Allah knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. To build a parallel circular pathway around the Ka'bah for the sake of Tawaaf (circumambulation) is permitted, as stated by scholars. The writer of 'Asnal-Mataalib' said, "If the roof (of the Ka'bah) is raised higher above the House (mosque), the Tawaaf (around the Ka'bah) is permissible, as the prayer on top of Mount Abi-Qubais is allowed even though it is above the Mosque." However, as it is known, to build a parallel circular pathway is subject to the capability and circumstances of the authority concerned. It may seem easy for us, but there might be some logistical difficulties in executing such a plan.Allaah knows best.

Answer: The pardah is the name of a special dress which prevails in certain Muslim countries. It fulfills the requirements of Islamic dress, but it is not the only type to do so. In other Muslim areas, the pardah is not known, but Muslim women there have a little different type of dress which also fulfills the requirements outlined by Islam. What every Muslim woman should do is not to appear before any man who is neither her husband nor a relative to whom she may not be married unless she wears something which meets the requirements of Islam. She has to cover all her body, from head to foot, with the exception of her face and the lower part of her hands [arms], i.e. below the wrists. Her dress must be modest, somewhat loose so as not to describe the shape of her body. It is also important that her dress must not be transparent or eye catching. It should not be an imitation of the dress distinctive of non-believing women. Anything that meets these requirements is appropriate. There is no distinction between men of her own age group or other men. She must wear her Islamic dress in front of all people: young, middle-aged or elderly men. The only exceptions are her father, her brother, paternal and maternal uncles, nephews, her father-in-law, and men who have the same sort of relationship with her through breast-feeding.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. Pardoning the one who wrongs you means that the wronged person gives up his right to retaliation for the transgression on his rights, clearing the transgressor of their liability. Ibn Qudaamah wrote, "Chapter on the virtues of pardon and kindness: pardon means giving up a right to which he is entitled..." [Mukhtasar Minhaaj Al-Qaasideen] When the wronged person gives up his right, he has pardoned the one who has wronged him. The fact that the heart of the wronged person still harbors hatred and resentment towards the one who wronged him is irrelevant, especially given that one has no control over the matters of the heart. For more benefit, please refer to fatwas 84351 and 89899. If you have wronged any person, like in the case mentioned in the question, which is backbiting, then that is a totally different situation which is independent from his transgression against you. If he does not forgive you, then you are still liable for this transgression. However, if you repent to Allah, The Exalted, of the sin of backbiting, praise that person in the gatherings in which you backbit him, supplicate Allah in his favor, and implore Him to forgive him, then you shall not be held accountable for it, hopefully. For more benefit, please refer to fatwa 82148.Allah knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.Scholars mentioned that the parent is allowed to take back his gift to his child unless it involves other people's rights, it is no longer in the possession of the child, or the child has disposed of it by selling it or has become involved in some commitments because of it, as we have previously explained in fatwa 119967.Hence, if your father had given you the property and gave you full control over it, the gift is valid and binding. Your statement, "He asked me to return the property. I did not want to return it..." implies that he was not decisive about it; rather, he presented the matter to you and you did not accept it and disposed of the property by selling it. He did not take any action that actually returned the property to his possession. Accordingly, the property remained under you ownership, and your disposal of it by selling it is valid and effective. There is no harm on you in benefiting of its price; however, you should try to appease your father and give him some of that money in order to remove any hard feelings and to be kind and dutiful to him. If you do not need all the money and decided to give it to him, then that would be better since he is concerned about it. Allah knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allah, The Almighty, to bless your grandparent with recovery, grant them the reward, wellness, forgiveness of sins and raise their rank. May Allah reward you generously for your keenness to adhere to the rulings of the Sharee‘ah and ask about what may seem confusing, in compliance with the verse that reads (what means): {So, ask the people of the message if you do not know.} [Quran 16:43]If your parent commands you to drive these girls, and there is no harm incurred on you because of it, then it is obligatory on you to obey him/her. Scholars stated that it is obligatory on a child to obey his parents in what benefits them and does not harm him. We have previously underlined this in Fatwa 84942. Their non-adherence to the Hijaab does not justify your refraining from obeying your parent in this regard. Rather, you should seize the opportunity to give them advice kindly and clarify to them the gravity of sins in general and that of non-adherence to Hijaab in particular. You can also give them advice in an indirect way – which may be more effective – by having them listen, while riding with you in the car, to a sermon delivered by a scholar or preacher with guiding influence, and hopefully they would benefit from it.In general, we advise you to be kind to your parents and to invite them to Allah gently. Kindness is the principle manner of Da‘wah (calling to Allah). Allah, The Exalted, Says (what means): {Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.} [Quran 16:125]It was narrated on the authority of ‘Aa’ishah that the Prophet (saw) said: "Whenever kindness is present in anything, it adorns it, and whenever it is withdrawn from something, it leaves it defective." [Muslim]Allah Knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger.First of all, you should know that it is an obligation on the children to spend according to their ability on their poor parents. However, if the parents are not poor or that the children are insolvent, then they are not obliged to spend on their parents. If this is the case about the obligatory spending, then it is more appropriate that it also applies to the non-obligatory spending. Nonetheless, the children should endeavour to be kind and dutiful to them as much as possible. Therefore, we advise you to try your best to convince your parents and clarify to them your situation.First, you should seek the help of Allaah then the help of whoever could influence them. If they are convinced, all perfect praise be to Allaah, otherwise you are not sinful for not pleasing them. Allaah says (what means): {Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted, let him spend from what Allaah has given him. Allaah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. Allaah will grant after hardship, ease.} [Quran 65:7]Anyway, you have to be keen on being kind to your parents and pleasing them at all times. Allaah Knows best.

Disobeying the father in this regard is not considered undutifulness towards the parents, and you bear no sin for disobeying him, and you do not become Kaafir if he cursed Allaah Almighty. For more benefit, please refer to fatwa 131695.However, we advise you to try to please him with whatever you can and to eat even a few bites of such food so as to prevent him from cursing Allaah, The Exalted. Preventing the greater of two evils is given precedence over preventing the lesser of them. You should also advise him gently and clarify to him that cursing Allaah is an act of Kufr (disbelief) that takes the doer out of the fold of Islam and that he must repent to Allaah from that grave sin.For more benefit, please refer to fataawa 1327 and 9880.Allaah knows best.

Answer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Children are naturally predisposed to be good and kind to their parents, because Allah has put this natural disposition of affection and love between the parents and children.In order for the children to grow up obeying and being dutiful to their parents, the following means may be helpful: To nurture them on religion and faith -         To sow good moral standards and manners in them.-          To deal with them justly, in being affectionate to them and in offering gifts to them.-         To treat their mistakes and misconduct with wisdom.-         Not to be nervous or fanatic when dealing with them, as this badly affects their lives, and may lead them to be vengeful by being undutiful and so on.Therefore, we advise you to follow these means, may be you will be successful in bringing them back to reason and righteousness. As for the one who insists on being undutiful, you can hit him slightly, if you think that this might be beneficial for him.If the parents are afflicted by an undutiful son, they have to know that this is a test for them, so they have to be patient. They have also to supplicate as much as possible for him, as the supplication of a father for his son is answered.It is confirmed that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: "There are three supplications that are answered without any doubt: the supplication of a victim of injustice, the supplication of a traveler, and the one of a father to his children." (Reported by Ibn Majah and others.) Allah knows best.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah.

Jihaad is one of the best of deeds, as is honouring one�s parents. If a person wants to go for jihaad, he has to ask their permission. If they give him their permission, all well and good, otherwise he should not go for jihaad, and he should stay with them. Staying with both or one of them is a kind of jihaad (striving for the sake of Allah). The basis for that is the report of Ibn Mas�ood (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: �I asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), �Which deed is most beloved to Allaah?� He said, �Prayer done on time.� I said, �Then what?� He said, �Honouring one's parents.� I said, �Then what?� He said, �Jihaad for the sake of Allaah.� The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told me about them and if I had asked more he would have told me more.� (Agreed upon. Al-Bukhaari, 1/134; Muslim, 1/89-90)

 �Abd-Allaah ibn �Amr (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: �A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and asked for his permission to go for jihaad. He said, �Are your parents alive?� He said, �Yes.� He said, �Then your jihaad is with them.�� (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4/18). According to another report: A man came and said, �O Messenger of Allaah, I have come to engage in jihaad with you. I came and my parents were weeping.� He said, �Go back and make them smile as you have made them weep.� (Narrated by Ahmad, 2/160; Abu Dawood, 3/38).

 It was reported from Abu Sa�eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) that �a man migrated to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) from the Yemen. He [the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] said, �Do you have anyone in the Yemen?� He said, �My parents.� He said, �Did they give you permission?� He said, �No.� He said, �Then go back to them and ask their permission. If they give you permission, then go for jihaad, otherwise honour them.�� (Narrated by Ahmad, 3/75-76; Abu Dawood, 3/39).

It was reported from Mu�aawiyah ibn Jaahimah al-Sulami that Jaahimah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, �O Messenger of Allaah, I want to go out for jihaad, and I have come to consult you.� He said, �Do you have a mother?� He said, �Yes.� He said, �Then stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet.� (Narrated by Ahmad, 3/429; al-Nisaa�i, 6/11).

All of these reports and similar ones refer to the person for whom jihaad is not an individual obligation. But if it becomes obligatory on an individual and he does not go for jihaad, this is a sin, for there should be no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience towards the Creator. Among the things that make jihaad obligatory on individuals is when the imaam [Muslim ruler] calls him for jihaad, in which case he has to go to the front line. And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger. If you mean by adoption attributing this girl to your father, this adoption is prohibited as previously clarified in Fatwa 82371. Adoption does not change the reality at all, so parentage of this girl remains for her true father who is her matrimonial guardian and responsible for her marriage. Therefore, it is not permissible for your father to choose a husband for her or give her in marriage without permission of her matrimonial guardian. On the other hand, the dowry is the woman's right over her husband, not the opposite. If it is your custom that the woman's family pays a dowry to the husband, this custom is against the Islamic Sharee'ah and it is not permissible to continue practicing it. There is no harm that your father gives her a gift out of benevolence or gives it to her husband if she gets married. Moreover, if you mean by adoption taking care of and being kind to the girl, this is a good act the doer of which will be rewarded. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And do good; indeed, Allaah Loves the doers of good.} [Quran 2:195]It should be noted that the girl remains a non-Mahram to you, your father, and your brothers, so you are not allowed to shake hands with her or be in seclusion with her or the like, unless there is a reason that makes her a Mahram to you such as suckling. Allaah Knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds.  I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. It is obligatory upon every Muslim to obey his parents, to deal with them kindly and not to do anything that they would not approve of. There is no doubt that informing them about one's marriage, asking for their consent and involving them in the choice of one's wife are all forms of obeying them. In addition, it is known that whoever gets married without his parents' consent encounters many problems and difficulties that may cause him to live in discord with his family and parents.  Moreover, you should know that to abandon one's parents is a major form of disobedience and to describe them as egocentric is inappropriate to say the least. It would have been easier and more suitable for you to have involved them in your decision from the very outset. We now advise you to discuss this matter with them in a kinder way, asking their opinion on this issue. Again, know that any reservations they have or any opinion they give are with good intentions, as parents are always keen on providing the most comfort and happiness to their children. Allaah Says (what means): {So fear Allaah as much as you can.}[Quran 64:16]We ask Allaah to grant you success and protect you from temptations. But, if all the good efforts do not succeed, and the issue reaches the point of conflict and you cannot be patient enough to fulfill their demands, then protecting your religion and chastity takes precedence over obeying your parents. The Prophet (saw) , said: "There is (to be) no obedience to anyone in disobedience to Allaah."Allaah Knows best.

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad (saw) is His slave and Messenger. Marriage has great objectives in Islam. It has been prescribed so that the spouses would become a source of happiness for one another. Allaah, The Exalted, says (what means): {And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.} [Quran 30:21] The woman was not created to cook, clean, and look after the parents only. Rather, the wife in Islam is not legislatively obliged to look after her husband�s parents unless she willingly chooses to do so; please refer to fatwa 84909. Moreover, the wife is entitled to a separate accommodation without having to live with her in-laws in the same house, as has been advised by Muslim scholars and is underlined in fatwa 84608. Also, it is incumbent on the husband to support his wife and not the other way around unless the wife willingly chooses to provide for her family; please refer to fatwa 85012. You should also know that scholars held different opinions regarding whether the wife is obliged to serve her husband. The opinion we hold as preponderant is that she should serve him according to the common practice of their society; please refer to fatwa 86344. In any case, the husband should help his wife carry out her duties and share the responsibilities with her instead of exploiting her and adding to her burdens. He should follow the example of the Prophet (saw) in this regard. Al-Aswad ibn Yazeed said, "I asked 'Aa'ishah, 'What did the Prophet (saw) do when he was with his family?' She replied, 'He would do chores for his family, and when it was time for the prayer, he would go out for prayer.'" [Al-Bukhari] The version reported by Imaam Ahmad and At-Tirmithi reads, "He was a human from among other humans; He himself removed the lice from his clothing, milked his goats, and did all his work himself." Al-Mubaarakfoori commented on that report saying, "The hadeeth encourages modesty and giving up arrogance on part of the man and being in the service of his household..." [Tuhfat Al-Ahwathi] If your daughters are underage, then the guardianship of their property belongs to the ʻasabah (male blood relatives on the father's side); their father is more entitled to having guardianship over this money. If he is not eligible, then the guardianship is transferred to the following eligible male blood relative according to the order stated by the Muslim scholars. The case may be referred to the concerned authority in your community acting as sharee'ah courts, like Islamic centers, for instance. The optimal thing to be done in this regard is for the parents to deem themselves high above getting into a conflict over the money of their young children. They should seek that which best serves the interests of their children. This is of course as long as this money is not paid to you by the government in return for taking care of your daughters; if it is paid to you (for that reason), then it is your own personal property. Lastly, we advise you to try to reach a mutual understanding with your husband through dialogue as well as mutual respect. We also advise you to use wisdom in addressing any possible dispute so that Satan would not use it to sow seeds of discord between you and break up your family. Allaah knows best.

Answer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. According to the most correct opinion among Muslim scholars, a son (daughter) must follow in the religion of his/her Muslim parent, so he/she is considered a Muslim. In this vein, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "His/her parents make him/her a Jew and Christian" . [Reported by Imams Bukhari and Muslim ]From the above-mentioned Hadith we can deduce an indication to the fact that just as the son/daughter may follow his/her non-Muslim parent, it is more appropriate and with greater reason to follow his/her Muslim parent.Thus, we say to the inquirer that if this son's mother is a Muslim, then the son is a Muslim. In addition, if it is in your hand, you should not give him to a non-Muslim father, whose morals are very bad.There is not doubt that the son's interest lies in staying in a Muslim home and good environment, Insha Allah.But, you should not prevent him from visiting or calling his father since this is the right of fatherhood unless you fear a bad influence on you or the son. Moreover, since the father has bad morals and is not a Muslim, one cannot use such an excuse to cut off the father's relations with his son or to prevent the son from treating his father with kindness and righteousness. In this issue, we advise you to take what is more beneficial for all of you into consideration. In other words, do not give this good son to his non-Muslim father, nor prevent him from visiting or getting in touch with his father unless you fear his bad influence on the boy's religion or body or any harm to you.We ask Allah to grant you and us success and steadfastness on the right and good will to do well for this present life and for the Hereafter.Allah knows best.

Answer: Dear Br. M As-salaamu alaykum. There is no point blaming your parents for what they have done to you in the past. The best thing you should do is to treat them as a true and practicing Muslim: be kind, helpful, respecting and loving to them. And if you really care about them and love them for the sake of Allah, pray devoutly to Allah to guide them to the straight path. Allah hears His servants' prayers. The stories of people we know who have followed this policy are great and very rewarding. Their parents started to pray, they became more respectful to Muslims, etc. But this is nothing something that is accomplished over night. You have to be patient and have true trust that Allah changes people if He wants to. It may take 1 year, ten years, or twenty years� But keep on praying for them and keep on treating them as Islam orders you to. Just reflect on certain verses in the Qur'an such as in Surah al-Israa (17) verses 23-25, or read the recommendations of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and you will have a clearer image how to treat your parents. Thank you for asking and God knows best.

Answer: Dear Sr. M. As-salaamu alaykum. We assume in this answer that your father is still alive. In this case, you can pray to Allah to give your father guidance to believe in Him. If you truly love your dad, that's the best thing you can do for him. Other things you can do for him are to talk and invite him to Islam, to behave as a good Muslim woman towards him, to treat him with dignity, and to be kind to him. On the other hand, what Islamic Law doesn't allow you to do is to ask Allah to forgive your father's sins or have mercy on him, because Allah doesn't forgive the sins of a human being who disbelieves in him. But once he believes in God, the situation will change as confirmed in the Qur'an in Surah al-Anfal (8) verse 38. Thank you for asking and God knows best.
