Question:

Asalamwaleykum

I hope this reaches you in the best of health and states In Sha Allah Rahman. I have been in touch with a potential partner and wanted to ask a few of questions please.

I am following the Hanafi Madhab and she is following the Maliki madhab. Are we allowed to exchange mobile phone numbers so that we may speak briefly on the phone as it is easier than messaging?

Also we both want to meet, what are the rulings pertaining to this situation. Can we meet alone but in a public place out in the open where there is no risk of any fitna. Or does she have to have a chaperone and do I? If so does the chaperone have to be a family member or can it be friends etc?

I am 2_ years old and she is 2_, my father has passed away so I don’t really know where to look for advice, but I do know I want to get married so I am saved from sin In Sha Allah Rahman, so I am serious.

I am trying my best to practice Islam, it has been two years and I hope I can do my best to perfect my deen and character constantly but I am not perfect whatsoever but I would like the sane sort of person, who is trying. But how can I judge a woman? In reality I will only find out what she is like after spending a few months with her whilst being married?

Thank you
Jazak Allahu Khayr

Answer:

Dear Brother,

wa `alaykum salam,

Madhhabs do not matter, what is important is taqwa, fear of Allah.

You may exchange phone numbers of course and emails, but conversations must be with full taqwa, and adab, good manners.

You may meet in a public place with one chaperone from either side. Chaperone can be a friend or family member. You may sit separately with her to talk or walk with the chaperones at a distance as Mawlana Shaykh would often have marriage candidates go for a walk together.

Avoid altogether being alone with her or any situation which might smell of impropriety.

The best way to judge a woman is to get her references and her family’s references, especially from others in the community known to be pious, her imam, teachers and if she has a Shaykh, her Shaykh.

If you follow a Tariqah, once you feel you have a good match, you should get final approval from your Shaykh.

was-salam,

Dream: mother-in-law

Posted on August 10, 2015 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Salam aleikum,

I had a dream where I saw my mother-in-law and she asked me why did I separate or divorce without telling her. I felt I had to defend myself and told her it is not my responsibility to tell her, her son must comunicate and tell her, it is his job not mine, so she got angry with me and she left. What does it mean?

jazakalah

Answer:

wa ‘alaykum salam

It means time to move on with your life, in-sha-Allah. Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for all good things for you and your parents.

What should I do for progress?

Posted on August 10, 2015 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Salam ‘alaykum Ya Shaykh Hisham, I know someone who I want to marry. We made Istikhara a year ago and it was good. Until now I didn’t find a job so that I can go to her Mahram (I’m 1_). My family knows about her and the idea, but yet no one from her side.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam.
Your family should meet with her family and propose. However, you need to be able to support yourself and her at some point in the near future.

How does a persistent sinner get forgiveness

Posted on August 10, 2015 by Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa

Question: 

I am despairing of myself. Every time I repent from a sin I return and do it again.

Answer:

Invoke Blessings on the Prophet (s) for indeed invoking Blessings on the Prophet (s) is accepted even from the sinner and even from the evil-doer and even from the hypocrite, to be attached to the his esteemed self (s). And every time the Prophet (s) is mentioned in front of you send blessings on him for truly the miser, the deprived one, is the one who does not send blessings on him when his name is mentioned (s). And the Blessing on the Prophet (s), [are the cause for] increase of provision, and enlightening the heart, and [is the cause for] the forgiveness of sins, and veils bad manners and makes easy the unknown. And this is time-tested and because of the great amount of blessings Muslims send on their Prophet (s) Allah has made firm the faith in their hearts whereas everyone who has been deprived of sending blessings on the Prophet (s) are seen to have hard hearts into which no light is able to penetrate.

My mother died as a non-Muslim, can I ask God to have mercy on her?

Posted on August 8, 2015 by Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa

Question: 

I am a Muslim convert and my mother died recently and she was not a Muslim but she had noble manners. Can I ask God to have mercy on her?

Answer:

God the Almighty is more merciful to His worshippers than they are to their own selves. He described His chosen Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a mercy to all creatures and as having a superior moral character. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked noble manners and praised whoever cultivates them, Muslims or otherwise. When the captives of Tai` were brought to him, the daughter of Hatim Al-Ta`i was among them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Free her for her father loved noble manners and God the Almighty loves noble manners.” One of the Companions asked: “O Messenger of God! Does God love noble manners?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “‏By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, no person will enter Paradise except with noble manners.” [Recorded by Al-Bayhaqi from the hadith of Ali Ibn Abu Talib]

Rulings pertaining to this worldly life differ from those pertaining to the Hereafter. A person may be deemed a disbeliever simply because he is not a Muslim though he may not have denied Islam in the first place. It does not necessarily mean that a person who is deemed a disbeliever based on his outwards actions will be a dweller of Hellfire, especially one who will remain therein for eternity. God the Almighty may pardon such a person either because he has not heard about Islam or because he did not discover compelling evidence on the soundness of Islam. Consequently, he will be from amongst those who will be tested on the Day of Judgment.

God the Almighty says: “It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire” [9: 113]. It is only prohibited to ask God to forgive a non-Muslim if it is evident to the supplicant that the person he is praying for is among the companions of hellfire. However, it is permissible to supplicate with what may be said is allowed for such a person such as reducing his torture if he is among the inhabitants of Hellfire. It was reported that God will reduce the torture of some of the dwellers of Hellfire by virtue of the blessings of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Consequently, we are not to delimit our aspirations for God’s mercy since this is a sanctioned matter. There is therefore no objection to supplicating God for the sake of your deceased mother for He may accept your intercession on her behalf and forgive her.

And God the Almighty knows best.

Question:

Dear Hajj Gibril Haddad Saab,
Assalamualaikum, Send my salam to Sheikh Nizam Saab and Sheikh Hisam Saab, Inform them to pray for me for here and hereafter. I like to say that our Govt. are doing non Islamic activities. Request for Wazifa to change Govt.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
Salam to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Salam to Mawlana Shaykh Hisham from every poor and dependent servant of Allah. Our hearts are always with our Shuyukh, with Rasul and with Allah without regard for the evils of this dunya that keep multiplying. Even those who are supposed leaders of Islamic reform and champions of ethics are betraying their trust and attacking the Umma as best they can, repeatedly and on a large scale. Anti-spirituality is king. It is all in His hand and we resign our matter to Him. May Allah change them for the better and change our state for the best.
