I am a 40-year-old average-looking Indian woman who wears the full hijab with conservative, modest clothing. I usually, but not always, wear abayas.

Nevertheless, when I face.. More

Watching football matches / Women visiting sick men
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding watching football matches. One of the reasons I have found scholars prohibiting watching football matches is because of the exposal of the ‘Awrah (what should be covered of the body) of the players. However, as far as I have found through research, the ‘Awrah of today's footballers is hardly exposed... More

Procrastination in wearing hijaab
I converted to Islam one year ago. Since then, I have stopped drinking alcohol, started praying, started studying, and done many more things.

He does not accept it and tells me that I am not honest in my faith.. More

Saying 'yes' to wife's question: 'Is this Talaaq?'
Shaykh, what if he only said, "Yes, it is that," or just, "Yes," or "Ok," when I said, "I am considering this a divorce," and, "This is a divorce"?

When he again said, "Go," I called his name.. More

Woman working at home to earn living
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Is it permissible to sell items at home and earn money?

Marriage contract concluded in different language without word 'Nikaah'
What is the ruling on a marriage ceremony in which the word Nikaah was not mentioned, as in the case in which American reverts say in English, “I officially take you as the head of my household,” or, “I make the union with you,“ etc. (but considering that all the requirements were met)? I ask because I read the hadith in which the Prophet, sallallahu.. More
