Living in society where entering upon parents without permission is acceptable
Assalaamu alaykum. I have come to know from Surat An-Noor that children, when they become adult, should seek permission to enter their parents' rooms. But in my country and culture, we do not seek permission at all. That is kind of an acceptable thing. Moreover, in most cases, the door of the parents' rooms are kept open, and seeking permission becomes.. More

Assalaamu alaykum rahmatullaah, dear Brother. If I were in the situation that there are only three people in this world: my mother, my wife, and myself, and my mother and my wife are drowning in the sea, and I can save only one of them.

Failure to fulfil vow to fast three months in three years
Assalaamu alaykum. Sir, my question is regarding making a promise to Allah, the Exalted, and then not fulfill it.

Tradition of kissing someone's hand then touching it with forehead
In Turkish culture, one kisses the back of someone's hand to show respect. First he kisses the back of the person's hand, and then he he touches his forehead with it. Is this permissible?

Learning knowledge from fatwa websites
Shaykh, as far I know, it is obligatory for me to know how to recite the Quran and know its meaning so that I can act according to it, so I have no question about that. However, I am confused regarding whether reading Tafseer (exegesis) of the Quran and books on Tawheed (pure monotheism) and the correct ‘Aqeedah (creed) separately is obligatory or.. More

Returning Salaam addressed to other person - Using exclamation 'Jeez'
Assalaamu alaykum. I have 2 questions:

2. Is saying "jeez" sinful? As we know,.. More

Salaam greeting should precede any other speech
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding this hadith: "The Salaam is to be said before asking any questions, so whoever asks you a question before giving the Salaam, do not answer him." Is it Saheeh (authentic), and does it apply in all situations? For example, what if my parents come to me and ask me a question without starting with the Salaam?

Sending greetings of peace to person with another person
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Is it allowed to convey one’s Salaam (greeting) to another individual?

I would like to know; if I do eat extra portions.. More

Breaking promises made to Allah
I have made 21 promises to Allaah. I never said, "By Allaah I will not do this or do that." What do I need to do? My intentions were not to break them, but because I made so many promises, I was unsure whether I had said them or not and then ended up breaking most of my promises.
