  • Angels descend upon reciter of Quran

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. It is true that angels look for gatherings where Allaah, The Exalted, is mentioned (and all that is mentioned in the hadiths that speak about this subject takes place). Does the same happen when a person is alone in a room and recites the Quran or listens to the Quran or an Islamic lecture?.. More

  • Suppressing anger to please person instead of Allah

    Assalaamu alaykum. We know that anger is bad and that one who avoids being angry for Allaah's sake will be rewarded.

Then his wife requests him to avoid being angry for her sake, and he calms down to make her happy, not for Allaah's sake. Is this act.. More

  • Both sons and daughters obliged to serve parents if they need service

    I know that the financial responsibility is for the brothers and the father, but is it the daughters' duty to do housework for her dad when he is oldin Islam?

  • Ending contact with non-Mahram woman not dispraised desertion of Muslim

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question about these two hadiths: “The Muslim is not allowed to abandon a Muslim brother more than three days. If three days pass and he meets him, then he should greet him. If he (the other believer) returns his greeting, then they share the reward; but if he does not return it, then he (alone) will incur the sin.” “Th.. More

  • Saying ‘Rest in peace’ to deceased Muslim

    Assalaamu alaykum, dear Scholars. I have a question regarding two conflicting statements. It is reported that ʿAbdullah ibn Masʿood, may Allaah be pleased with him, said,“There is no comfort or rest for the believer until he meets Allaah.” Wakeeʿ ibn Al-Jarraah, Al-Zuhd #86. It is reported that Masrooq, may Allaah have mercy with.. More

  • Counting Tasbeeh with fingertips

    Assalaamu alaykum.

I used to read it on my fingers, but then I read a fatwa saying that it is from the Sunnah.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am in a strange situation. I live alone with my older sister (at university), and our granddad will come and stay with us for a bit.

He says that I have to listen to my sister even if what I think she is saying is wrong, and so he has appointed.. More

  • Mother commands son to wear clothes he dislikes

    Assalamu alaykum, Shaykh. My mother often orders me to wear certain clothes that I do not like without a sound reason. For example, so that the people would not know that we are Muslims or so that they would not stare at us. And I am not only talking about the thawb; also regarding trousers and t-shirts, she obliges me to wear certain clothes (which.. More
