  • Muslim jokingly says he would celebrate Christmas

    Assalaamu alaykum! The man I intended to marry once jokingly said, "Are we not celebrating Christmas together? If so, I will do so by myself." He repeated that it was only a joke.

  • Recalcitrant wife loses right to accommodation

    Salam. I read in some fatwas that a disobedient wife loses her marital rights and that her husband will not be sinful if he withholds her maintenance and accomodation.

  • Signing delegation of divorce

    My question is regarding words of divorce said by the wife to her husband. During my marriage, neither I nor my father put forth any conditions.

One thing caught.. More
