Revealing that suitor has autism when proposing to girl
Assalaamu alaykum. I noticed some contradictions between your answers. You mentioned that the suitor should be informed of vitiligo while to other people you said that they do not need to inform their future wife about it. Why? I am not trying to bring you down. I like this website very much. You even brought a quote of Ibn Qayyim concerning vitiligo:.. More

Wife doubting whether she is divorced or not
Once, I was very depressed and was always very afraid about divorce taking place due to a threat of my husband.

My husband, however, could not bear my situation. He wanted.. More

Female doctors circumcising boys
Assalaamu alaykum. In some medical centres, female doctors circumcise children and adult boys. They are very expert at this, but is it permissable in Islam?

Eating from money which guardian usurped
Assalaamu alaykum. May Allah reward you for answering my question about the haram income of a guardian. However, the problem is: does the same ruling apply to wealth taken by force or oppression from an orphan's wealth, etc?

Wife boycotts in-laws and refuses intimacy with husband
Assalaamu alaykum. I need to ask a question; maybe you have heard of this problem before. My wife and I are not in a stable relationship. I constantly ask Allah to help, but our problems have gotten severe at times. One minute we are happy, but the next we fight and hate each other. This is due to my wife hating my family, and it has been three years.. More

Uttering words of divorce in present tense
Assalaamu alaykum. I am writing to ask for a clarification about divorce. My husband and I were happily married, but he was quick to turn to anger in fights. One month into our marriage, during an argument, he said “I divorce you” in anger and without intent. He even forgot that he had said it almost right after. He did not verbally take me back,.. More

His wife wants to leave him for another man
My wife wants to leave me for another man. We have two kids. I gave her the chance to end this, but she failed to do so. Shall I divorce her, or shall I go to that man and try to convince him not to poison our family life? I think that would be a long shot, but at least I would be satisfied. I have tried everything before reaching a final decision... More
