I have a romantic friendship with another man (unknown to my husband). This came about as I am not attracted to my husband.

He is always in financial problems with his work (self-employed).. More

He married a non-Muslim woman with whom he committed adultery
As a virgin, I committed the crime of zina (adultery) with a non-Muslim adulterous woman.

She wants khul' to marry a man she loves in silence
I have been married for the past nine years. During this period, my husband has treated me in the worst way. He never spent on me or my children.

Shaking hands with a non-mahram woman is not a compelling necessity

Ruling on rings and bracelets showing on a woman's hands
Assalaamu alaikum. I wear hijab but not niqab, and I leave my hands uncovered too. My clothes are very modest, and I do not use makeup or henna either.

Please give me a personal.. More

Ruling on husband's oath never to accept his wife
Assalaamu alaykum. I recently got married. This marriage was against my husband's will. He took an oath on the Quran, in the name of Allah, that he will never accept me as his wife in this life. Please help, what should I do now. Is this considered a divorce under the 'eelaa'form or just a divorce? Should I end this relation? Please help.
