Getting someone to help mother in caring for children
Assalaamu alaykum. Shaikh, I would be grateful if you would answer this question directly, because if you show another fatwa, I will have difficulty understanding it. Can mother hire a babysitter to look after her baby and clean the baby's waste (stool, urine, vomit, etc.) in order to decrease her burden, or is it obligatory for the mother to do all.. More

Problems because of living with in-laws
Assalaamu alaykum. I want to explain my situation; I have been married for 17 years, and we have six children together. My mother-in-law has been living with us ever since we got married. My in-laws have been separated for a while now, but my father-in-law was living at my brother-in-law's house, and ever since they moved back home, my father-in-law.. More

Informing suitor about number of previous marriages
Does a man or woman who was gotten married many times have to inform the one they want to marry about how many times they were married in the past? For example, if a woman was married 8 times in the past, does she have to tell the man whom she wants to marry that she was married 8 times?

Marrying girl whom one fornicated with
Assalaamu alaykum. I am a young man who is currently studying abroad. Three years ago, I met a girl back home with whom I have been in a relationship ever since. Unfortunately, in my country it is acceptable for non-Mahrams (permanently unmarriageable kin) to mix up, and therefore I used to go to her house very often and spend time with her in the presence..

Case of conditional divorce
I have been suffering from a deep gambling addiction for around 15 years. Now I am in recovery, attending counselling sessions, etc. When I used to lose money, I would realize immediately afterwards that I should not gamble.

Husband obliged to provide for wife and children and care for them
I am a Christian woman who married a Muslim man in an Islamic marriage ceremony. His family was always very nasty to me because of my religion, though they were nice to pagans who married into the family because they were rich. We had two sons, but I discovered that he was committing adultery. When I found out, he started beating me as well. We lived.. More

Women may write books and diaries
1) Is it permissible or not for women to write and publish beneficial books on religious and other permissible subjects and topics which include fiction (poems, stories) and non-fiction (research, education, biography, etc.)?

Making divorce conditional on past action while doubting its occurrence
What if a wife says to her husband that when her daughter was born, he did not talk with her for 15 days and that he was sad at that time, and the husband replied that he was not sad and that if he was sad at that time, she is divorced? And what if he did not realize what he said and also forgot about the complete situation of that time?

Revealing that suitor has autism when proposing to girl
Assalaamu alaykum. I noticed some contradictions between your answers. You mentioned that the suitor should be informed of vitiligo while to other people you said that they do not need to inform their future wife about it. Why? I am not trying to bring you down. I like this website very much. You even brought a quote of Ibn Qayyim concerning vitiligo:.. More

Marriage obligatory on person who fears fornication
A brother whom I know wants to make Hijrah (emigration) from the lands of disbelief to the lands of Islam, and he is saving up money for it and has a firm plan, but his only problem is regarding women; he cannot control himself if he is around women, and the ruling on him with regards to marriage is that it is obligatory because he fears falling into..

Wife doubting whether she is divorced or not
Once, I was very depressed and was always very afraid about divorce taking place due to a threat of my husband. I suffered constant Waswaas (obsessive doubts) and feared going near my husband due to the suspicion that we might have been divorced although we were not and these were merely doubts. My husband, however, could not bear my situation. He wanted.. More

Female doctors circumcising boys
Assalaamu alaykum. In some medical centres, female doctors circumcise children and adult boys. They are very expert at this, but is it permissable in Islam? Similarly, some female surgeons perform operations of adult male genitalia, like hydrocele, epididmocele, herniorhaphy; these operations involve male testes; is this permissible? These female doctors.. More
