Is Physical Contact with Non-Mahrams Permissible if They Are Elderly and There Is No Fear of Fitnah?
QUESTION: Is it permissible for me to kiss my 70-year-old cousin on her forehead over her Hijab (veil) or shake hands with her because she is very old?
Sheikh ibn Baz rahimahullah said:
"It is not permissible for you to shake hands or kiss her on her head or anywhere. It is permissible for you to greet her with…
Cousin brother/cousin sister?
QUESTION: I have a cousin brother. He is my mother’s brother’s son. He’s very close to us. He is two years younger than me and has grown up with us since his childhood, but he wasn’t birthed by my mother. I’m 21 years old and he’s 19 now. I don’t see him as a cousin or a non-mahram and I genuinely see him like my own brother, like one of my real brothers. That’s how close we are. I…
Infertility & Islamic Alternatives
Q1: I can’t have kids, and I saw that IVF isn’t allowed (https://t.me/womensbenefits/836). Are there any halal options?
A1: Yeah, one beautiful option is to sponsor or take care of an orphan. You’d raise them with love and care, just like your own – but you wouldn’t give them your or your husband’s last name, since that’s not allowed in Islam. Basically, you raise them without…
Induced lactation [medical perspective]
QUESTION: Can a woman produce breast milk if they haven't been pregnant?
ANSWER: With considerable dedication and preparation, breastfeeding without pregnancy (induced lactation) might be possible.
Normally, the natural production of breast milk (lactation) is triggered by a complex interaction between three hormones — estrogen, progesterone and human placental lactogen —…
QUESTION: If a woman informs me that she breastfed my father—so that I may remove the hijab in front of her sons—but this person is elderly and sometimes calls upon other than Allah despite being reminded, due to confusion in her beliefs (for example, she says “يا رسول الله ” during trials), and I also know that this person is capable of lying, should I accept her statement about breastfeeding and remove the hijab…
QUESTION: Just as a follow up which I think I mentioned previously, but there are no exceptions are there? The dars mentioned there are no exceptions as well and just wanted to double check. Because in my culture it is widespread amongst the community that only the blood children of the mum which are younger than the breastfed child become siblings through breastfeeding. Not older ones. So just wanted clarification…
QUESTION: I understand what has been mentioned in the 2 lines of poetry. The relatives of the person who was breastfed (the child) they are strangers to the breastfeeding mother except the children of the breastfed child. Does that directly mean the relatives of the mother become relatives of the children of the breastfed child? Could you confirm if my understanding is correct?
Example: A mother breastfed child A.…
The Legal Implications of Breastfeeding Are Centred Around Four Individuals
Sheikh Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh states:
Firstly, we need to know that the effects of breastfeeding (in terms of legal and familial rulings) pertain specifically to four individuals:
(1) the nursing woman (wet nurse),
(2) her husband,
(3) the nursed child, and
(4) the descendants of the nursed child.
As for other relatives beyond these…
"My husband has memorised the Qur’an and studied some Islamic knowledge. When he’s outside the house, he treats people kindly and has good manners. But at home, he’s the opposite—he has no good character, doesn’t speak kindly, doesn’t smile, and he hits me. He spends more time outside than at home. When I try to talk about it, he says, ‘I don’t want to hear anything from you—every household has its…

Visiting Sick Non-mahram Relatives
Question: One of the listeners, who identified himself with the initials (ع.م.ص.), asks Your Eminence about the ruling on shaking hands with women and visiting them in hospitals, particularly when they are not mahrams but are relatives. What is the ruling on that? May Allāh reward you.
Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah:
As for visiting them in hospitals or elsewhere for the purpose of…
The Ruling on Women Wearing Noisy Footwear and the Importance of Modesty in Islam
Question: Is a woman sinful for wearing shoes that make noise when she walks?
Sheikh Albāni rahimahullah:
And how could she not be? Shoes with heels reinforced with metal or similar materials that produce an echo when walking are, in fact, a contemporary manifestation of a Quranic prohibition. Allāh Almighty says: “And let them not…
Ruling on Wearing High Heels
Question: What is the ruling on wearing high heels, knowing that they produce no sound whatsoever and are worn only on special occasions? And what is the ruling if the shoes make a slight, unnoticeable sound?
Sheikh ’Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh:
Wearing high heels is undoubtedly a form of tabarruj (immodest display of a woman's beauty), as it elevates the woman physically(1). It is also…

The Necessity of Gender Mixing in Ṭawāf and Saʿī Is Not a Basis for Permitting Free Mixing in General
The questioner asks: Some people try to philosophise the issue of freemixing, claiming that it is permissible and allowed based on the mixing that occurs during ṭawāf in Al-Masjid Al-Ḥarām, as well as certain gatherings of the Prophet ﷺ in which it is understood that men and women may have been present together…
Why is it not possible to segregate men and women during Ḥajj and ’Umrah?
Sheikh ’Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh explained:
"As for advocating for gender mixing — that is incorrect. And likewise, forbidding all mixing in this context is also incorrect, because ṭawāf cannot be entirely free from mixing between men and women.
If we attempt to separate men and women by space, such as assigning women to the outer edges of…
Why Do You Prohibit Free-Mixing When Men and Women Mix During Ṭawāf?
Sheikh Fawzan ḥafidhahullāh says:
Some people say: Don't women mix with men in the areas of ṭawāf and saʿī?
We respond: This is a different matter. Ṭawāf and saʿī are acts of worship in which it is practically impossible to achieve complete separation between men and women. Some level of overlap may occur.
At the same time, it is incumbent upon…
Stay Strong Under Pressure
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
You are doing the right thing by resisting this impermissible act and you have provided valid arguments supported by Qur'ān and the Sunnah, all that remains is to remain steadfast as the Prophet ﷺ said:
((قل آمنت بالله ثم استقم))
Say: 'I believe in Allāh,' and then remain steadfast.
This is a very serious matter.
