Request:
Asalam Alaykum,
My six year old son takes ages to get to sleep at night. Is there something he can recite to help him sleep? Or anything else he can do?
(I don’t seem to getting emails notifying me when my questions have been received or when they have been answered)
Response:
`Alaykum Salam,
Recite Surat Tabarak or Surat Yasin to him. No caffeinated drinks and no naps after `asr time.

Question:
Assalamu aleikum!
I read recently that the 99 names of Allah are divided to 2 groups – the names of the attributes of majesty of Allah – Asma Jalali, and of beauty of Allah – Asma Jamali. I have found only one article in internet on this topic but the names are written there in Arabic by very bad illegible handwriting and I can’t understand it
Would you be so kind to write me them in English and also to supply any other information about jalali and jamali names. This is the only page I have found about it

Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
The 99 Names of Allah can be alternately described as Names of Majesty
or Names of Beauty according to their referring predominantly to
severity or predominantly to mercy respectively. Names that denote
Tanzih (transcendence) such as Quddus, Muta`al, Ghani belong to the
first category unless they also have a second meaning of mercy to them,
such as al-Salam. And Allah knows best.

Question:
I am told that if I believe in Naqshbandi order, I should not raise my index finger during Tashahhud; because the Prophet (s) raised it only to stop a falling rock. Is this correct?
Answer:
Naqshbandi means follow Sunna, which means to raise the index finger in
tashahhud; nor is there any falling rock story to my knowledge.

Question:
As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah,
My deep respect to all members of the Eshaykh staff.
I would like to know whether binary option trading is allowed in Islam. It is a type of trading where the trader purchases an item (currencies, commodities, etc.), if he thinks that the price of the given item will be higher than the current price and where he sells the item if he thinks that that the item’s price will be lower of the current price. If the trader is successful in his transaction, he receives a percentage profit and if he is unsuccessful he receives nothing. Thank you in advance for your enlightened viewpoint.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
By explaining what is “gharar” in Islamic law and you will conclude for yourself whether binary option is halal or Haram. In this kind of trade there is uncertainty – either you get a lot of profit or nothing at all. This is “gharar” which is risky or hazardous sale where details of the sale commodities are unknown. Gharar is generally prohibited being excessively risky.

Question:
Some people say a guy named Abu Bakra not Abu Bakr R.A. a guy similar to his name Abu Bakra had said a hadith that women leadership will lead to doom and if that is true what about the Queen of Sheba? Sharifa Fatima. Female Zaidi chieftain of Yemen who conquered Sana’a?*Razia Sultana (Jalâlat ud-Dîn Raziyâ) some other Muslim princesses of the time, she was trained to lead armies and administer kingdoms if necessary. Nusaybah Bint k’ab Al Maziniyyah. Female fighter who fought at the Battle of Uhud with the army of Muhammad ﷺ after converting to Islam. some people said that caliph Umar R.A. punished him for lying about the fake hadith and the whole thing about doomed women leadership.
Answer:
Woman can lead other women in prayers while standing among them in the same row. Allah (swt) has given Muslim women the right to vote and voice their opinions and participate in politics. Qur’an (60:12) has told Muhammad (saws) when believing women come to him and swear their allegiance to Islam to accept their oath. Qur’an and Muhammad (saws) do not order nor forbid a woman from holding important positions in government.
