Haram relationship

Posted on December 1, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Salamu aleykum,

I have been struggling with a serious issue–see previous post–for over a year and half, but I haven’t found a way out despite the duas I’ve been performing (my family assists me). I know that patience is essential while tested, but as I think over this whole experience, I realize what is holding me down: relationships that go against Shari’a law.

I’ve unfortunately been in two of the kind; since, one ended, but I am still engage in an internet correspondence with a woman (Christian) that involves love, pictures, and the such. My question is what is the ruling about nikah (temporary, I am a student and/or permanent) over the internet? Can I get assist here with a “eShayk” here in case it is permissible?

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

It is not permissible and there is no such thing. Marriage is best so try to do it in the way that brings you true benefit.

Prayer Request: Worried

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

Salaam to Maulana Shaykh Nazim & Maulana Shaykh Hisham.

Since around 7 months of age I’ve seen my child press his legs together & with pressure move the lower body. I took the child to doctor & was told it was constipation.. The child has had a lot of constipation. The child is 2 yrs now & the movement continues a couple or more times, if the child is distracted the child then moves away & continues the movement. I’m very concerned as a parent. Please help me to understand why this is happening to my child. Could it be black magic? My other child hasn’t had this problem.. I request you do dua for my child & family…I am grateful & thankful for your time & efforts, May Allah (swt) bless us all (Amin).

Response:

Alaykum Salam,

Make aqiqa, slaughter of a lamb or goat and give away one leg. You can eat the rest and share with relatives.

Dear shaykh Salam wr wb,

1) Can we read Quran from computer, mobile iphone, ipad without wudu, if you’re clean (body & clothes), and same question for during menses. Can a woman read it the above way? Also, same question for hadith in Arabic, English, Urdu text. Jazak allah khair.

Answer:

Be in wudu when reading Qur’an whether from the mushaf or other electronic devices. For women in their menses, they may recite from memory, if not recite Salawat upon Prophet s.a.w.

Dreaming of white

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Imam Yassir Chadly

Question:

Asslamo alaikum,

This Ramzan I saw dream of a horse that was white in colour and he was playful with me and friendly towards me. I was shy of him, I’d turn away to walk, but he hugged me from behind.

Another dream I saw where I was wearing white clothes and i had some silverish jewellery also. I was offering my friend that jewellery and even the white clothes I was wearing I offered her.

Answer:

Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm:

Wa alaykum as salaam,

This dream can mean that you are going to meet a noble man represented by the horse. The second one can mean that you are very
generous with your friend.

And Allah (awj) knows best.

Dream: Crumbling teeth

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Imam Yassir Chadly

Dream:

Asalaamualaikum dear Sayadi,

I dreamt that all of my teeth starting from the back of my jaw started crumbling and falling out, I could feel moderate pain in the dream. My mother told me to hold the teeth in my hands, so as my teeth fell out they fell into my hands. When I looked at my hands it was though the teeth had dissolved into clear water and I had a new set of teeth.
Jazak’Allah khair.

Interpretation:

Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm:

Wa Alaykum Salam,

This dream can mean that among all your family from your mother’s and father’s side, you will have the longest life.

And Allah (awj) knows best.
