Greeting female cousins for 'Eed
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatulallaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. The main focus of my question is: can my husban talk to his female cousins on the phone to wish them a blessed eid or not given that Eid Al-Fitr is on the way, Allah willing. Please, Shaykh, if you can give me advice or proof related to the Quran and the Sunnah, Allah willing, then with the.. 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

Family gatherings in restaurants if women are not wearing hijaab
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. How should three families be seated if they go out to a restaurant to eat? Traditionally, all of them sit together at one large table. However, this is not Islamically right, as many do not wear the hijab. So how should they sit? Please note that the same food needs to be served to everyone.

Mixed family gatherings that violate Shariah
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Many, if not the majority of women, do wear hijab. Those who do so do wear lipstick etc. In Bangladesh, when a guest comes, all males and females sit in one room, each sex sits in one sofa, and they face each other and talk. I learned that this situtaion is only halal if all the females wear a hijab.. More

Complying with teachers' requests in mixed school
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I talked with a shaykh and he told me that if such-and-such conditions are met, I can stay at my mixed school. My question is: is it a sin to help the teachers inside/outside the lesson? For example, they might tell us to buy them a textbook; or in math class, the teacher might ask us to help him by.. More

Ruling on participating in model United Nations
What is the Islamic perspective regarding participating in a model United Nations program? Is it a competition that is haram? I have very little knowledge of what it is exactly and of what participants have to talk about and ignore if anything that is done there goes against Islam. I hope that you can give me an Islamic perspective.

Why attending mixed schools is mostly forbidden
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. You said that it is haram to attend coeducational schools if we feel inclined towards doing haram. Are you talking about fornication? Touching or looking? Falling in love? You must be aware that Muslim coeducational schools do not have free mixing (during class time at least); the boys and girls just.. More

Interacting with female colleagues at work
Assalaamu alaykum. In my office, female colleagues regularly manipulate and sometimes order male colleagues to do favors for them, like bringing them water and snacks from the shop, do photocopies for them, and so on. It really embarrasses me to see men running errands for these women. If the females ask me to do the same and I say no out of self-respect,.. More

Gathering boys and girls in one class due to small numbers
I live in a non-Muslim country and try to help the Muslim youth (age 12-16) to save their faith in this society (which contains a lot of promiscuity, pre-marital relations, alcohol, and so on). Once a week, I gather some Muslim youth for a small lecture (usually about the biography of our beloved Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and they are.. More

Woman meeting male clients for business interactions
Assalaamu alaykom wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I want to create a website for selling and buying, which needs a physical meeting with clients and sellers, and I have my sister to do this work. Is it halal or haram for my sister to meet strangers for work? May Allaah reward you.

Refraining from talking to non-Mahram women
Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I have a question about a fatwa on this website. The question is about fatwa no. 308110 (see the link at the bottom). In that fatwa, you said that it is permissble for a muslim woman to refrain from talking to non-Mahram (permanently unmarriageable) men. Does it mean that it would be permissble if a.. More

Compulsory swimming class for girls in school where men may see them
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question. I am 14 years old. I am attending a school where there is a swimming class. I have asked my mother to buy a swimming suit that covers the 'Awrah (what should be covered of the body). The school does not use a separated swimming pool, but they differentiate the time. So we do not go to swimming together. However,.. More

Going to mixed gym to lose excess weight
Assalaamu alaykum. I want to go to a gym because I am overweight, and in the place where I am in now, there are only mixed gyms, some so big that they have swimming pools, courts, and other stuff. I searched and discovered that there was one gym for men only, but it burned down, so as far as I know, there is no alternative. What I want to ask is whether.. More

Helping refugees who might be staying in mixed homes
In my country in Europe, a lot of refugees are coming right now. There is a refugee reception/temporary home for youths who come by themselves. Now, there is a job where you can work there to help them, for example, by explaining things, making namelists, etc. Is this job halal? I do not exactly know how they live; for example, if they mixed the young.. More
