I Wish to Travel to Yemen for Knowledge, but My Parents Have Forbidden Me
Question: I am a Salafi woman, praise be to Allāh, living in a non-Muslim country (Britain). I have resolved to travel to Yemen to seek knowledge. My parents, who are both Muslim, have forbidden me from travelling for this purpose. Is it permissible for me to migrate to seek knowledge even if they forbid me from doing so?

Are Newlyweds Permitted to Break Their Fast During Ramaḍān?
Question: In our country, fifty years ago, if a man got married during Ramaḍhān, his family would instruct him to break his fast because he had just gotten married. Both he and his wife would then break their fast for three days. What is upon them in this regard?
Sheikh Yahya hafidahullah responds:
They are required to repent to Allāh. They did not…
The justification for uncovering one eye is the same as that for covering the entire face. The only reason one eye was uncovered was to enable vision. The covering was very thick, so a small hole was cut, just enough for one eye, as that was the minimum needed to see. Nowadays, with transparent materials readily available, there is no need to expose even a single eye.
Please refer to the hadiths cited in these…
Do I have to cover my face?
Excerpt from Sheikh Yahya's Advice to the people of Sham (Paraphrased)
▪️Excluding the face from the proper Islamic hijab/covering is an incorrect understanding.
▪️It was narrated by ’Āishah and Asmā' that they said, "When we came near men, we would lower our veils, and when we passed them, we would uncover our faces." This was while they were in a state of iḥrām (when women are not…
"Human effort does not guarantee sustenance,
Nor does idleness deprive one of it.
Allāh has distributed sustenance among His creation,
And none of His creation has He abandoned.
Yet people are consumed by greed, for you will rarely see
A seeker of sustenance content with anything less than their desires.
Greed in pursuit of sustenance, despite it being preordained,
Is a form of transgression, and…
This beneficial reminder by Abu Rayḥānah AbdulHakeem Al-Amreeki discusses the issue of Al-Muru'ah (المروءة) as well as other important issues ⤵️
https://youtu.be/5RNBDGWZrxE
SUMMARY:
Al-Muru'ah is an Arabic term that refers to a set of ethical and moral principles embodying the ideals of virtue, honour, and noble character. The word comes from the root "المرء," which is related to manliness and dignity, but its meaning transcends gender, encompassing a broad sense of chivalry, decency, and integrity.
Comparing Wife to The Living vs. The Dead
Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi hafidahullah said:
«لا تقارن بين زوجتك وبين أي امرأة حولها، ولا تضرب لها الأمثال بمن تعاصرها، ولا سيما من تعرف وتألف، وسواء كان بقصد تشجيعها على التأسي بها في الخير والصلاح، أو بدونه، فقد تقودها غيرتها إلى خلاف ما تريد منها، ولا بأس أن تقارنها، أو تضرب لها الأمثال بمن قد ذهبن وهال عليهن التراب».

1⃣. Offering sacrifice specifically in this month
Abu Hurairah raḍhiyallāhu anhu narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “No Far’. No ‘Ateerah.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
Both were types of sacrifices offered by the Mushriks to their false deities; Far’ being the first child of the cattle and ’Ateerah being the sacrifice offered specifically in the month of Rajab.
So those who slaughter in the month of Rajab specifically are…

Dear Owner,
I hope this message finds you well. Thank you for hosting the event yesterday. The hall is not only spacious but also beautifully designed, and I greatly appreciate the segregation service you have thoughtfully implemented.
That said, I would like to draw your attention to an important issue: the flooring. Upon entering the hall, I nearly slipped but, Alhamdulillāh, I was able to regain my balance.…
A bad wife ⤵️
Imam Ash-Shāfi'ee, may Allāh have mercy upon him, said:
«سمعتُ بعض أصحابنا ممن أثق به قال: تزوجتُ لأصونَ ديني، فذهب ديني ودين أمي ودين جيراني»
"I heard one of our companions, whom I trust, say: 'I married in order to safeguard my religion, but I ended up losing it, along with my mother's and my neighbours'.'"

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
Divorce does not occur by the utterance of statements like "you are free to go", "I don't want to be with you" except with the clear intention for divorce.
Note: Ignorance of the consequences of a matter does not change the ruling of the matter!
Note: When a man divorces his wife the first or second time, the marraige is still valid for the duration of the waiting period, during…

Wa alaikum salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Thank Allāh who removed you from this marraige. Hide her faults, for verily she is the mother of your child.
Just imagine if she was innocent of what you are accusing her of, yet you were prevented from seeing your child, you would have to be patient.
Therefore, don't let her shortcomings push you to exposing her sins.
Do you want to see your child or do you want…
That said, they might have this preference for a valid reason. Perhaps they believe that reverts may have been involved in illicit relationships before marriage, leading to potential trust issues. It could also stem from concerns that certain negative habits from before converting to Islam, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, or gambling, might persist or be challenging to overcome. Ultimately, it’s their personal…
▪️If there are no two witnesses present, the contract between the guardian and the groom is still VALID (1). There are scholars who stipulate the presence of two witnesses (2), however, there is no authentic evidence to support the requirement of two witnesses (3). Nevertheless, having them is better and more appropriate, as is the current practice in Muslim countries, courts, and official transactions, whether for…
الاختلاط فتنة فإن كان موضع العمل لا اختلاط فيه لا حرج أما مع الخلطة في المكان والغرفة فيصبر وسيجليها الله فرج الله همها
Freemixing is fitnah. If the place of work is free from freemixing, there is no harm. However, if there is freemixing in the space or room, one should be patient, and Allah will provide relief. May Allāh ease their worry.

Ibn Qudamah (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
«الحرام المحض، وهو الزنا، فيثبت به التحريم، على الخلاف المذكور، ولا تثبت به المحرمية، ولا إباحة النظر؛ لأنه إذا لم يثبت بوطء الشبهة، فبالحرام المحض أولى، ولا يثبت به نسب»
