Saying 'Oh mother!' or 'Oh father!' to express surprise
This question is about fatwa id:281152. I know from this fatwa that saying "Jesus" in surprise like many Christians do constitutes Shirk (polytheism) as it is seeking help from someone other than Allaah. In my country, there is a habit of people saying, "Oh mother!" or, "Oh father!" when they are surprised. No one expects their parents to help them,.. More

Father insists that daughter pays rent though she lives elsewhere
My father makes me pay rent to him while I do not even live in the house, and I was told that if I do not pay, then he will never speak to me again and cause problems for me. In the past, he once told me to get out of the house for not paying rent, and that was during night time. Is that normal? He is working at the moment. I pay to keep my relationship.. More

Acceptance of wife's prayer when husband is angry with her
Assalaamu alaykum! I ask Allah to reward you immensely. Dear scholar, an authentic hadith says that Allaah does not accept the prayer (Salah) of a wife who deprives her husband the right of physical intimacy. My question is regarding the matter of the prayer not being accepted. Is it only in case of depriving husband of his sexual rights? Or is it applicable.. More

Seeking forgiveness from looking at women
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah wa barakaatuhu. I remember that I did haram by looking at girls or causing attraction, and may Allaah forgive me. My question is: is it necessary that the girls' father or brothers and so on forgive me in order for Allaah to forgive me, or the women's husband if she is married, or even the girl herself? And is it the.. More

Ruling on parents confiscating child's property
Assalaamu alaykum. If I bought a phone with my own money and my mother sometimes gets angry with me and says that she will take my phone, is she entitled Islamically to confiscate my phone, which I bought with my own money? May Allaah reward you.

Deceiving government to get cheap housing
Assalaamu alaykum. I live in London, UK with my husband and my two kids. We rent a flat there, the rent is very expensive, and the property is very small. In order to get a council house, we either need to wait for ages or be homeless. The agency which we rent from has offered to evict us, but we would pay the court fees. The eviction would take place.. More

Doing voluntary acts of worship is not an obligation
Assalaamu alaykum. With regard to every good act and/or act of worship, I notice that there are levels, one higher than the other. For example, while there is a reward for saying, 'Assalaamu alaykum', there is a greater reward in adding, 'wa rahmatullaah', and even a greater reward in adding, 'wa barakaatuhu', to it. The same goes for praying, wearing.. More

Writing list of sins to make repentance in Du'aa'
Assalaamu alaykum. Please spread your knowledge. For repentance, I sometimes have a lot of things that I want to repent from, so I write my repentance down, and then I read it off in my supplication. Is this an innovation, or is it acceptable? Also, what is the proper pronunciation of he Shahaadah (testimony of faith). Are we supposed to say Muhammadur.. More

Rewarding oneself for doing good deed
Assalaamu alaykum. I want to do a certain optional worship daily, but I find it difficult to do that, so to motivate myself, I reward myself. For example, I say to myself, if I do this good deed today, then I will eat such-and-such delicious food in such-and-such restaurant. Is that okay?

Answer father's call or start prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. If I am about to pray but my dad calls me on the phone and speaks about what matches to bet on (my dad gambles quite a lot), is it still permissible for me to pray? The reason I am asking is that if I am reciting Quran in prayer and he is talking about gambling, then is that not haram? I do not know whether this is fromWaswaas (devilish.. More

Not talking to fellow Muslim for more than three days without abandoning him
Assalaamu alaykum. I have some questions about the following hadith: "The Muslim is not allowed to abandon a Muslim brother more than three days. If three days pass and he meets him, 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."

Parent not entitled to force child to eat certain foods
Assalaamu alaykum. My issue is that I am fasting and my dad wants me to eat burgers and chips every day forIftaar(breaking the fast)(which would have a drastic toll on my health), I refuse to do this, even though he might curse Allaah, The Exalted. Will I be sinful for refusing his request to eat junk food? Would I become a Kaafir (disbeliever) because.. More
