Istikhaarah

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:06:04 GMT

Answered by: Ulamaa ID 09
Question:
========================
I believe that whatever happens, happens for a good reason from Allah... Keeping it short, i want to ask should a person do a istikhara himself or ask other people to do it for themselves. In our society, we tend to ask the Imam and other religious people to do it. I want advice that because Allah knows the will of the heart, 1) Should a person do Istikhara themselves or through parents or should they ask other people who are not directly aware and involved in the matter to do the istikhara.... 2) Also, how many times should a person do a Istikhara? Should they be content with 1-2 times or should it be done 7 times incase it comes unfavorable? 3) What if the istikhara comes favorable from one side and unfavorable from other side?? Please quote any relevant hadith or fatwa with reference in this regard... I am really really worried and any help will be rewarded by Allah JazakAllah

NUMBER OF SHAYATEEN

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:33:49 GMT

Answered by: Ulamaa ID 04
Question:
========================
Respected Mufti Sahab

Assalam o Alaikum

Quran speeks of one Shaitan i-e Iblees? Then how come Shaitan effects billions of people at the same time? We believe only Allah SWT is omini-present, right. Then Shaitan doesnt have the power to be present at more than one place at one time. Then how come he misguides billions at the same time?
If Shaitan is one, and rest are his disciples-- then how many does he have? how did he make them believe in him and not in Allah.. As far as my knowledge, Quran mentions that Allah only gave Iblees the permission to try to misguide humans.. not to his disciplines.

Please clarify this confusion.

Jazaak Allah

Tabari (Ibn jarir) on Isa (AS) crucifix

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:33:21 GMT

Answered by: Ulamaa ID 04
Question:
========================
Salamualaikum
A little while ago, i was reading At-Tabari's tarikh called 'The History of Prophets and Kings Tarikh al-Rusul wal-Muluk' and I came across this page which is kind of contrary to Quran and early Quranic commentators such as Qurtubi Ibn Kathir etc..

Lets start off with the isnad:
According to al-Muthanna- Ishaq b. al-Hajjaj- Isma'il b. 'Abd al-Karim - 'Abd al-Samad b. Ma'qil- Wahb

and also
Ibn Humayd- Ibn Ishaq- Wahb b. Munabbih al-Yamani which says God allowed Jesus the son of mary to die at three o clock, then he took him unto himself.

How reliable is this? Are these narrations sahih? Jazakallah khair

Purity of wudhu area

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:32:35 GMT

Answered by: Ulamaa ID 04
Question:
========================
Assalam Alaykum,

At work, I have a prayer area set-up to allow me to pray at work. My work has also set-up a wudhu area as well, but the wudhi area is in the bathroom near urinals (distance between urinal & wudhu area is about 5 metres).

Occassionally, when performing wudhu someone comes in and urinates in the urinal - so I was just wondering whether if this happens whether my wudhu is valid or would I need to do wudhu against since the would be dirty (najasah).

Thank you.

Salam.

Haj and Tawaf Ziyarah.

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:08:09 GMT

Answered by: Ulamaa ID 04
Question:
========================

Dear respected Mufti Sab,

I know a woman is not allowed to do Tawaf Ziyarah while on her monthly period. Now days, especially in England, majority of people go to Saudi to perform hajj with a group or tour. Due to this they are usually on a tight schedule especially on the return date. What is the ruling regarding a woman who has to return back to her home, but she has not performed Tawaf Ziyarah due to her being on her monthly course?

Secondly I am not sure if this is correct, but I have heard she should perform Tawaf al Ziyarah in that state and then give Dam to compensate. Is this correct?
