Nurture Love with Some Alone Time
Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi writes:
A wise and perceptive woman makes sure that her time with her husband is peaceful and private. Before sitting with him, she gently and wisely keeps the children away without making them feel pushed aside.
These moments are times of tenderness, flowing emotions, loving words, and permissible affection. They may be long or short depending on the…
Taḥnīk for a newborn
Question:
Is the practice of Taḥnīk (chewing dates or something sweet and rubbing it inside the mouth of a newborn baby) specific to the Prophet (ﷺ)?”
The Lajnah Ad-Dā'imah said in response to a similar question:
“Taḥnīk for the newborn baby is a Sunnah which has been confirmed by the action of the Prophet ﷺ for babies born to some Companions (may Allāh be pleased with them). This indicates…
The Practice of Head Shaving
Question: Is shaving the entire head with a razor, such that no hair remains, outside of ḥajj and ʿumrah considered an imitation of the Khawārij?
And should one object to a person who does this?
Shaykh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh:
Shaving the head is a prescribed act of worship that is obligatory in ḥajj and ʿumrah, by explicit textual evidence and scholarly consensus.

Marriage Is Built on Faith and Kindness, Not Love Alone
Al-Bukhārī narrated in At-Tārīkh Al-Kabīr (in a summarised form), as did Al-Fasawī in Al-Maʿrifah wa At-Tārīkh, and Ibn Jarīr Aṭ-Ṭabarī in Tahdhīb Al-Āthār in the Musnad of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (may Allāh be pleased with him).
The report says:
Ibn Abī ʿAzrah Ad-Duʾalī used to divorce the women he married during the caliphate of ʿUmar. Because of this, stories…
The ruling depends on the consequences. For example, if doing so causes people to become suspicious of them or leads others to become careless about fasting, then in that case it would be considered haram. Otherwise, avoiding this is generally from the angle of adab as stated here ⤵️

A quiet habit that's become normalised even among the "righteous".
It creates resentment and distance between people, families, and communities.
It fills the space with suspicion and negativity instead of trust and respect.
It's so easy to fall into, yet so detrimental to one's Deen and Dunya.

Is It Right for Women to Seek Work as Security in Marriage?
Question:
I have a question, many women nowadays want to get married but they refuse to be housewives as no men of their family would properly take care of them if something ever happens with the marriage (divorce or husband's death). So they think its better for them to seek a husband who would let them work, rather then remaining at home as housewives.…
I’m truly astonished. Some people will tell you, “Your secret is buried deep in a well (i.e. it's safe with me).” But the moment they get upset with you, they switch on the pump and let it flow to the whole village.

Many sisters when it comes to seeking knowledge find it a burden or tend to say “Why should I seek knowledge, when my only duty is being a mother and the caretaker of the home?”
But in order to be a good mother you must seek knowledge on how to do so.

"The mother is the first school. If she is righteous, the children will become righteous."

Advice for Women Residing in Countries that Ban the Niqāb
Question:
This is a question from France. The questioner says: France intends to pass a law banning the wearing of the niqāb. If that occurs, what is obligatory upon those vulnerable women who are unable to migrate?
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan hafidhahullah:
This is among the harms of residing in lands of disbelief: they impose their systems and their disbelief…
Good Character Begins at Home
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli hafidhahullah said:
If you train yourself to adopt a certain good character, you’ll find that after some time it becomes natural to you. There is no good trait that you cannot develop. But you should seek help from Allah and strive for it.
Some people say, “I’m just an angry person, that’s how I am.” But that’s not true—you can train yourself. Force it upon…

What Men and Women Talk About and Why
Ibn Hajar mentioned among the benefits of the hadith of Umm Zar':
وفيه أن من شأن النساء إذا تحدثن أن لا يكون حديثهن غالبا إلا في الرجال، وهذا بخلاف الرجال فإن غالب حديثهم إنما هو فيما يتعلق بأمور المعاش
“It shows that when women talk, their conversations are often about men. In contrast, men usually talk about matters related to their work and daily life
Why is this?

Narrated by 'Aishah bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her and her father):
Eleven women sat together and made a promise that they would not hide anything about their husbands.
The first woman said: “My husband is like weak camel meat placed on top of a mountain—hard to reach, and not worth the effort even if you could.”
The second said: “I…

"Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like the one who did it."
It was also narrated in Bukhari and Muslim from Sahl bn Sa'd al-Sa'idi (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said on the day of Khaibar:
