I attend university for a noble cause
Dear sister,
1⃣. 'The ends justify the means' is NOT an Islamic principle [https://t.me/madrasatuna/1810]
2⃣. Studying in free-mixed universities is Haraam. [https://t.me/womensbenefits/89]
3⃣. There are two types of obligations:
a. Individual
b. Communal
An Individual obligation is one which every single Muslim must fulfil, such as praying 5x a day, fasting Ramaḍhān,…
How else are we supposed to make Hijrah if we don't attain a degree?
I understand that mixed universities are haram but how does one go about making hijrah, considering a lot of Muslim countries won’t take anyone in unless they have degrees or certificates?
Answer:
Living in the West, this is the question that goes through many Muslims' minds. But unfortunately in answer to this question many resort to the…
Ruling on attending freemixed schools in the West
Muslim women and their daughters in western countries where there are Muslim minorities face very difficult circumstances in that education and work are mixed environments. We are caught between two possibilities. Either we cut-off our provision, stay at home and beg and as a result sink to a very desperate material condition, or, alternatively, wear our Islaamic…
Ruling On Oral Sex
Sheikh Muḥammad Al-’Ānsi ḥafidhahullāh
“This question...الله المستعان...(Sheikh takes a deep breath and sighs)...seeing as the question has been put forth...This (oral sex) is not something legislated. It is not permissible. His wife’s mouth is not a place for sexual intercourse. الله المستعان. A person should not go against the innate disposition (Al-Fiṭrah), sound reasoning and the human…
Conducting two Nikāhs
Question: We held a small Nikāḥ ceremony and all the conditions were met, however some of the relatives requested to repeat the Nikāḥ once again to allow more relatives to witness the occasion. What is the ruling on repeating the marriage contract in this case?

“As you have mentioned, if the contract has fulfilled the…
Is it permissible for a woman to breastfeed her baby sister, and would it then be permissible for her husband to meet this sister?
Answered by Sheikh Abū Bilāl ḥafidhahullāh (Paraphrased):
“There is no objection to a woman breastfeeding whomever she wills [within the limits of the Sharī'ah]; whether the child is related to her or not; if the child needs to be breastfed and she is capable of doing so, there is no…
Does the husband have the right to prevent his working wife from going out to work in order for her to stay at home and look after the kids if he provides for her?
I am a teacher and I have married a teacher four years ago. We have had a child and during this period, we have lived in troubles because of her family, relatives and friends. I see no way out except preventing her from work; is it permissible for me to…
Are women allowed to work?
Summary of Abū ’Aṭiyyah's response حفظه الله

Between every comma is an important life lesson
“The husband is known when his wife falls sick, the wife is known when her husband becomes poor, children are known when their parents grow old, brethrens are known when the inheritance is shared, friends are known when difficulty strikes, relatives are known after travelling away, the extent of the love one has for another is known when everyone's interests are met,…
If parents fight infront of the children, what should be the children's stance?
Sheikh Muḥammad Al-’Ansi ḥafidhahullāh:
The stance of children towards their mother and father should be that of peacemakers and not spectators of abuse. This (the latter) is not good. Likewise, [it's not good that when] the father starts beating [the mother] that the children join in and beat their father...likewise, taking sides is…

Sheikh Muḥammad Al-’Ansi ḥafidhahullāh explains in his answer to the above question that a woman should not open the door to waswaas (whispering) upon herself. If she takes a shower after becoming pur
The other question asked here was regarding the brownish/yellowish discharge (الكدرة والصفرة) and the white discharge when a women comes off her menses, are these najis?
He said: As for the كدرة & صفرة, this is considered najis because it contains traces of menstrual blood [if it occurs during the menses]. As for the whitish discharge, if it has traces of menstrual blood it is najis also, but if continues to come…
The same question was sent to Sheikh ’Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari hafidhahullah.
His response:
لا يجوز حتى تغتسل للحيض
It's not permissible until she makes Ghusl for coming off menstruation.
To confirm, I asked the Sheikh:
لو اغتسلت ولم تنو رفع الحدث فلا يجوز الجماع هكذا؟
Do you mean that if she takes a shower without intending to uplift ritual impurity, it's not permissible to have sexual intercourse?
The Sheikh responded:
نعم.
Yes
If a woman takes a regular shower after menses, without the intention for ghusl, is she allowed to engage in sexual intercourse with her husband?
Sheikh ’AbdulKhāliq Al-’Imād ḥafidhahullāh said:
If a woman's menstrual bleeding stops and she washes herself from the angle of cleaning herself, this does not suffice for the Ghusl of uplifting major ritual impurity (after menstruation). Rather, she has to intend to…
Is it permissible to hold group weddings as it is more cost effective?
Sh. Zaayid Al-Waṣābī ḥafidhahullāh:
“The ruling of group weddings [is that] there is nothing wrong with it. For example, if they come together and combine 5/6 weddings into 1, or maybe a person has 3/4 children and marries them off all at once, there is nothing wrong with that. If there's some impermissible factors involved, that's another…
The right to issue divorce is a trust which falls on the husband's shoulder
A brother narrates:
“I helped a bother get married to a sister some months back. The marriage was going well to start off with, but after some time they gradually started arguing. During some of these arguments, the sister would request the brother to divorce her, and he would comply with her request and divorce her. He said this happened…
After listening attentively to what Fatimah had to say, the Prophet ﷺ addressed her problems and gave her a solution.
This part of the hadeeth serves as a perfect counselling session for anyone seeking marriage.
What did he ﷺ advise her with?
And more importantly, why?
The answers to these two questions are the key to benefitting from this counselling session
Q1. What was the Prophet's advice?
A1. He…
((فإذا حللت فآذنيني)) ‏
“When you are free to remarry (i.e. After completing your 'Iddah), inform me”
An-Nawawi rahimahullah commented:
“In this is permissibility for one to implicitly propose to a woman who has been issued an irrevocable divorce, and this is the correct view with us (i.e. The Shafi'ees).” [end of quote from Sharh Muslim]
NOTE: Don't go 'DM'ing sisters subliminal messages. If you are…
10. Why did the Prophet ﷺ instruct Fatima bint Qais to remain in the house of her cousin Ibn Umm Maktoom, while he is a non-Mahram?
An-Nawawi rahimahullah said:
“Some people have argued on the basis of this the permissibility of a woman looking at a strange man but not vice versa, and this is a weak view.
Rather the correct view held by the majority of scholars and most of the Companions is that it is forbidden for a woman to look at a strange man just as it is forbidden for him to look at her, due to the statement of Allah Almighty:

1. Allah legislated divorce just as He legislated marriage. Divorce is not a crime, so we should not treat those involved in divorce cases as criminals (husband and wife alike). And just as it is not a crime if there's grounds for its issuance, divorce should not be misused (especially by us men). Not every marriage is bound to work out; the two parties may be good people individually, but as a couple they may not…
Marriage & Divorce are two major topics in many counselling sessions
Let's see how the Prophet ﷺ dealt with these two sensitive matters by reflecting over the following hadeeth, reported by Muslim (1480):
Fatima bint Qais radhiyallahu anha reported:
“My husband Abu 'Amr ibn Hafs ibnil Mugheerah sent 'Ayyaash ibn Abi Rabi'ah to me with a divorce, and he also sent through him five Aasu' (20 double palmfuls) of dates and five Aasu' of barley. I said: Is there no maintenance allowance…
Divorce happens to good people too
Zaid ibn Ḥārithah was a pious Companion, so too was his wife Zaynab bint Jaḥsh. Yet, divorce happened between the two.
They were not bad people, they didn't violate each other's rights, etc., they were just not compatible with one another.
Divorce is not a crime, and divorcees are not evil people.
In fact, sometimes divorce is the best option - a blessing in disguise
