  • Neglecting one's wife and child because of work and studying

    Assalaamu alaykum My husband is of good character generally. However, I believe him to be selfish and feel that he puts his needs before myself and our six-month-old son.

  • Asking forgiveness for non-Muslim parents impermissible

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh.

  • Preventing parent from dealing in interest

    I am the cause of my father being unable to get interest of around 30,000 taka every year. As revenge, he ordered me to give this money from my own pocket every year. I thought that it was obligatory to obey him in this regard, and so I told him (without saying 'I promise') that I would do so. Does this mean that it has become obligatory upon me to.. More

If not, then what should I do now that I have already given this advice? .. More
