    Assalamu alaykum. Respected brother, I am a firm believer in Islam, and I try to avoid major sins as much as possible.

There is a bank named National Savings Pakistan which completely runs on interest. The profit that they provide.. More

  • Supplicating against abusive parents

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am being tortured by my mother and father. My father recently went missing for about a month and then eventually told my mother that he married another woman and wants children with that other woman (i.e. he wants to start a new family). He said to my mother that if she (i.e. my mother) wants him back, then she must torture the.. More

  • Husband telling wife he loves her more than anything

    Assalaamu alaykum. Please, I would be glad if you didnot refer me to any of your other fatwas. I want to know the following: if someone says to his wife that he loves her more than anything in his life, does he have to repent for the words that he said, specifically, 'more than anything', because loving Allaah and His Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi..

  • Reconciling differences of one's parents

    Dear Shaykh. My mother and father are having a lot of problems. I know that my dad is always looking at women, and I came home once and she told me that my father is cheating on me!

  • It is better for father to leave his heirs wealthy than to leave them poor

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Thank you so very much for your website. I am a single 34-year-old female, and I have been living with my parents my entire life. My parents have been supporting me the entire time, praise be to Allaah, and I am very grateful for this. Several years ago, my father lost his job, and he has been trying.. More

  • Severing ties of kinship does not affect acceptance of deeds

    Assalaamu alaykum. If a person cut the family ties for years and then repents and gives them cards as an effort to keep the ties of kinship and they live in my home. All those years, like two years; my deeds are not accepted? Does that mean that all my deeds were for nothing? .. More

  • Ruling on taking the money of a disbeliever or a Faasiq

    When I was young, I stole a sum of money from a person who used to drink alcohol and commit all kinds of sins. I was in need of money, and I told myself that I was worthier of this money as he was spending it unlawfully. I know that what I did was wrong, but whenever I try to tell this man of what I did, I find him drinking alcohol! What should I do?.. More

  • Dutifulness towards apostate parent

    Assalaamu alaykum. If a muslim mother converted to another faith and she is not a muslim anymore and announces that to people, does she still have the right of obedience on her children? I know that if she is from the people of the Book, she will remain their mother, but I heard Ibn Uthaymeen say that one does not have any rights after apostasy. If.. More

  • Dutifulness towards non-Muslim parents

    In the name of Allah. Assalamu Alaykum. I have been a Muslim for almost 19 years, praise be to Allah. Ever since, my non-Muslim father does not want to have any contact with me. I do not know whether it is because of Islam (he hates Islam, but he never explicitly told me) or because of a quarrel about money that we had. This quarrel started before I.. More

  • Handling abusive neighbor

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I have a neighbor who causes discomfort to me. She keeps commenting on me and my family for no reason. She backbites about us and does not even let her child play with mine. We have never ever fought, but she has a very different behaviour. She never says salam, nor does she smile, even if I say salam.. More

  • Hating kufr and kaafirs in light of verses [58:22] and [60:8]

    Assalaamu alaykum. I saw a bunch of people claiming that we should hate the disbelievers, but some other people said that the hatred should be directed towards disbelief, and not towards the disbelievers. Which is right? I can understand hating him if he hates Islam though. Does Allaah not tell us in verse 60:8 that He does not forbid us from treating.. More

  • Visiting or calling neighbors not obligation

    If I greet my neighbours with the Salaam when I meet them in the street or in the mosque, is that enough? Or is it a must to go to their homes or phone them every now and then? .. More

  • Parents' objection to son's choice of wife

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. For the past few days, I have been looking at the parents' rights on the son’s marriage. My parents started looking for me but without asking about any of my interests, views, and expectations; even after I told them that we first had to discuss these, they plan to look for me. I have an affair with.. More

  • Suspects mother practices magic

    Hi, I am a 15-year-old boy, and I live with my parents and siblings. My parents argue a lot, and my dad is usually wrong. However, my dad always tells my mum to stop putting black magic on us (our family). I am a Muslim, and I thought that that was a bit weird, but I recently saw my mum hide these little papers. They had small boxes containing writing.. More

  • Cutting off contact with Muslim friend who lives in another country

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have heard that a person who boycotts or stays away from his Muslim friend does not enjoy the advantage of his sins being forgiven on (I think) Mondays and Fridays. About seven years ago, I severed my relationship with a Muslim friend whom I had befriended in another country while I was living there. I do not currently have his.. More
