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
Assalaamu alaykum. I got married with a boy in court without permission of my Wali (legal guardian), but consummation did not take place, nor have we been alone by ourselves. Also, the right of divorce was given to bride for the rest of her life at the time of the ceremony. After three days, due to some problems, the boy called me and said on the phone,.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. We got married in the presence of two witnesses only, without a legal guardian and judge. The ceremony was done in the presence of witnesses along with the decided bridal gift. After some months, my husband gave me a first divorce in a message, but we later came back to each other. Soon after that, my husband started saying that from.. More
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
Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh. I have a problem and need your advice. I and my small children have made Hijrah (emigration) to Morocco. My husband will not be able to join us for maybe two years, so he is currently in Sweden. My mother-in-law lives in france with her husband, but ever since I and my children moved to Morocco, she has been here with us for.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I would like to request the Islamweb team not to refer me to any of your previous fatwas because this is a new question. Many Muslim clerics have held the view that hitting a wife is permissible and not barbaric. However, many critics of Islam point out a hadith of Al-Bukhaari in which it is stated that Muslim women used to suffer.. More
Assalamu alaykum. A brother was witnessing two friends argue on an Islamic issue without knowledge. He became very frustrated after not being able to stop them and blurted out that if one of them had been his wife, he would have divorce her. Does this affect his actual marriage? May Allaah reward you.

I am a 40-year-old woman who is divorced with kids. I got married to my second husband in secret and then got divorced three times. However, we still love each other and want to go back to one another. Was the marriage invalid given that it was executed without my Wali's (legal guardian) consent? If so, can I remarry him in public now? The marriage.. More
I had a girlfriend, and I used to chat with her during phone calls. Sometimes she was alone, while some other times, her friends were around her whilst she was talking to me. I proposed marriage to her in jest on multiple occasions on the phone, and she used to reply in affirmation, and all this happened multiple times, and I used to divorce her in.. More

Please explain how that violates Islamic values and traditions. In particular, can such a lady lead.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. My question is: is it okay to supplicate to marry a particular person? I do not know a lot about him (just that he is working, is four years older to me, and is a practicing Muslim, I think). I came across his profile in my parents' mail (while they were browsing proposals for me), and there was something that attracted me to him... More
Assalaamu alaykum, and may Allaah reward you. My question is the followin: should I obey my husband or divorce him? We have had many good years together, but it is getting difficult to be obedient without denying other rights. He is the one who, by the Will of Allaah, guided me to Islam 23 years ago, which is my greatest treasure in this life. He does.. More
