Unable to Have More Children: Is It Wise to Suggest Polygyny?
Enquiry:
I've reached a point where I don't feel capable of having or raising more children. Because I know my husband still desires a larger family, I have considered suggesting that he marry another woman who would be willing to have children with him. How should I approach this matter, and what you would advise?
Advice:
The decision to stop having…
1. You raise an issue.
2. He apologises.
3. He promises change.
4. Change lasts briefly.
5. The issue returns.
6. The conversation repeats.
This has continued for years.
At some point the problem is no longer communication.
You have already communicated.
Very clearly.
Many times.
The issue becomes whether the person is willing and able to consistently act upon what has been discussed.
6⃣. Could there be an…
Losing Attraction to Partner Due to Persistent Hygiene and Intimacy Issues
Enquiry:
Many wives suffer in silence. One woman said: "My husband is kind and generous, but I'm too embarrassed to tell him about his body odor and messy look. I've tried hinting, but he doesn't get it."
Another sister said: "Over time, I have found my attraction diminishing. The hygiene and grooming issues play a significant role in…
Men Suffer Abuse Too
A lot of people don’t think domestic abuse can happen to men.
You might laugh, but domestic violence towards men is a real thing.
A partner may start by testing the waters to see if they can get away with certain things.
Spitting…
If they get away with that, they might start yelling.
If they get away with that, they might start hitting.
If they get away with that, they might start…
False claims of domestic abuse are being exploited by some to boost their rehousing eligibility, in much the same way that false claims of homosexuality are exploited by some to boost their asylum applications.
Now that we've looked at the dangers of blindly believing allegations and the importance of verifying claims, let's look at another part of this case study:
Do pictures of bruises, marks, or injuries automatically prove abuse?
Generally speaking, no.
In Islam, judgments are based on evidence, not assumptions. A photo may raise concerns and justify further investigation, but suspicion is not the same as proof.
A photo doesn't automatically establish:
1⃣. If the injury is real
Photos can be edited, filtered, manipulated, or even deep faked. Sometimes things are not…

The phrase is used to describe someone who constantly blames others for their problems, rarely accepts personal accountability, seeks validation or emotional…
Beware of Takhbeeb (Inciting Discord)

بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم
Many women today proclaim that they seek an “Upstanding Man”—a man of emotional intelligence, financial strength, and unwavering loyalty. Yet beneath this loud pursuit lies a silent contradiction: the expectation to receive everything while offering almost nothing in return.
This is not a search for partnership. It has become a demand for a multi-functional being—provider,…

Nail Care in Islam
Question:
This question is from a woman asking: What is the ruling on growing long nails? If the nails are long, are wudu and prayer still valid?
