  • 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

  • A woman working as cleaner in Al-Masjid Al-Haraam

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. If a person wishes to work as a cleaner at Al-Masjid Al-Haraam or Al-Masjid An-Nabawi but does not want others to help them with almsgiving, how can they avoid it? Or should they take it if it is given by someone and give it to others in almsgiving? People usually help cleaners there, and I.. More

  • Move back to West or take off niqaab to work

    Assalaamu alaykum. My family and I left the West to live in a Muslim country. I asked Allaah that if leaving the West was good for us, our religion, and our livelihood, to show it in my dream. I saw in my dreams that we made twoHijrahs(emigrations). I recognised the first country (where we at now), but not the one of the second Hijrah. My question is.. More

    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. .. More

  • Full hijab does not hinder women from working

    The book Great Women of Islam Who Were Given the Good News of Paradise by Darussalam details a lot of areas in which the female Companions of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,participated and actively contributed in cooperation with their male compatriots such as in the fields of religion, politics, education, fine arts, industry, trade,..

  • 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

  • Useful tips to convince girls to wear the Hijab

    How can I convince my daughters to wear the Hijab? They perform the prayer, but whenever I talk to them about wearing the Hijab, they tell me that they will wear it later on! I am fed up with repeatedly bringing up this issue. I have informed them that the punishment of Allaah Almighty for such a sin is severe, and I wish that they will be blessed with.. More

  • Wearing colored hijab where women commonly wear black

    All your fatwas on the hijab mention that the most important requirement of a Muslim woman's dress is the fact that it should be loose, modest and fully-covering her body. Colour and quality of clothing is not important, they state, and a woman is not obliged to cover herself in black. So my question is the following: in a country like Bahrain, Qatar,.. More

  • Best rows in prayer for women

    Assalaamu alaykum. My wife asked this question. In the mosque, the best place for women is the last row. In the Prophet's, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,mosque, there is a completely separate section for women, and all rows are only made of women there. Does she still need to stay in the back row or can she go the front rows as there are no men in that.. More

  • Refusing to take off headscarf for visa photo

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am 22 years old and I am a Moroccan living in Morocco. I am applying for the Schengen Visa and I am afraid that they will ask me to take photos without my headscarf. My family thinks that that is okay because these are procedures and we do not have any other choice. Besides, all the other hijabi women accept this rule! I definitely.. More

  • Mandatory military service for women in a non-Muslim country

    I am a Muslim woman who lives in a non-Muslim country. Here in our country, when you finish your highschoolstudies, you have to take the military course before you join a college. In the military course, you are not allowed to wear the hijab. The place is about 300km from my city, and you have to stay there for a year. Of course, it is a mixed environment... More

They have a 10-year-old boy. His mom asked me to teach him, to which I agreed. So he will come to my room for study. Sometimes, he sleeps the whole night on my bed... More

  • Niqaab is part of Islam

    Assalaamu alaykum. What is the ruling on the one who says that the niqab is not part of Islam and that it is a Persian custom that seeks to enslave women and rob them of their rights? Has the niqab been proven to be a part of Islam through textual evidence? And is the one who denies it considered a nonbeliever? .. More
