I have an upcoming exam on the 3rd of March. the exam is 8 hour long and the result will impact my career for a long time. So I wanted to know if I can skip the fast if that day and make up for it later?

If you want to skip the fast you have to travel. Drive out of the county limits before noon, eat something then go back into town to your test. Any other way is impermissible.

There is a Sunni women who became a Shia and all her siblings and family menbers are Sunni. Does the dad who is her wali as per Islam , refuse if she wants to marry a Shia man because he is a devout Sunni and does not believe that Shia is the true path ? Also , who becomes her walli when her dad passes away ? Her grand parents and her dad ancestors are not alive . If her dad refuse her to marry a Shia man, is she allowed to do muta with another Shia man without his approval ?

Her father remains her wali. If he dies and her grandfather is dead then she has no wali and can make decisions on her own. There are some scholars that allow the marriage without the permission of the wali

My mother has a lot of stomach issues, acidity and painful gas. She’s on medicine for this. Every single day, she has to drink a lot of water otherwise her problems increase. So, last Ramadan, my mother fasted but she got really sick at the end of the month. She only did not fast for one week due to her monthly cycle. She’s very concerned for this Ramadan. She will talk to her doctor about Ramadan and what it means for her stomach issues if she does fast. What is the next step for her to do in regard to kuffarah? She has been very sick for the past few years and if she has not done the make up fasting from the past four years, how much kuffarah would she have to pay before this next Ramadan? Also, in the past she has paid kuffarah but due to memory loss she can’t remember if she did or not pay the exact amount. Just for clarification, she fasted for most of the month except the week of her cycle and if she felt sick (which would be like one or two days).

If she is ill then she is excused from fasting. To determine illness, she has to either be told by a doctor that fasting harms her, or she suffers from pain as a result of fasting. The days she does not fast she gives fedya which is 3/4 of a kilo of food per day to the poor. She pays for the days she can remember. If she is able to make up those days at a later time she should, however if her illness is terminal then she only pays the fedya.

I live in the West where there are mostly disbelievers and I have a business/work that I earn money from and take payment from a non-believer who does not believe in Khums. Is it obligatory to to pay Khums or are we exempted? I’ve read there is exemption when it comes from a non believer but want to double check.

Khums is due on any gains you have. Doesn’t matter who you work for.

I recently came across some Hadiths discussing solar and lunar eclipses and was wondering if there is any particular significance to such celestial events occurring during the month of Ramadan. Are there any specific teachings or interpretations related to this? I would greatly appreciate your insights on the matter.

These are signs of God that happen at times God chooses. There is not a significant significance to these celestial occurrences.

I am a realism artist and I was wondering if I do a commission for someone who asks to draw a non hijabi woman whose skin is showing would it count as a sin on me if people admire the painting? And if I earn money from such a painting would it be halal?

No problem with that unless it is a picture that may cause some sort of fitna as it is too revealing.

I am writing this to enlighten myself about the essential ingredients of hoarding as I am confused and cannot distinguish some acts as if they fall into the category of hoarding or not. Kindly enlighten me: 1. What are essential ingredients of hoarding? Is it keeping essential commodities (like wheat, rice, etc) for the purpose of selling it later on higher prices or non-essential commodities (like cow/buffalo dry feed, fertilizers, etc) also fall into it? 2. What amount exactly make keeping of some item as hoarding? 3. What about manufactured goods? A friend of mine purchases solar plates in the winter season (when demand of solar plates is low and hence they could be purchased at lower prices) and then sells them at higher prices in summer (when prices and demand go up). Does that act of my friend fall into the category of hoarding and hence haraam or prohibited? Waiting for clear answer that clear my confusion so that I could do business with a sense of satisfication.

Hoarding is the purchase and storage of a rare commodity at a time when everyone is in need then selling it at a much higher price which ends up harming society. Normal business profit is not consider hoarding. The examples you mentioned do not fall under that unless the circumstances of the community had become very difficult and reliant on what is being hoarded.

If we follow Ayatollah Sistani, can we do ruju of another marjah for his ruling about eating food made by a non Ahle Kitab?

If he has a fatwa on the topic you cannot. If he says it’s ihtiyat then you can.

For my current job, I work in another province in Canada. My wife is studying in a different province (living with her family), and my parents live in a different province. It is a 2 week shift and then 1 week off I travel to either my wife at her parents’ house, or my parents’ house, or I divide my time between the two taking my wife with me to my parents’ house for the weekend. Because it is a 2 week shift, I pray a regular prayer at work. How should I manage prayers on my days off? And how shall my wife pray her prayers when she visits my parents’ house if my current “home” is my parents’ home.

If you continue this schedule for more than 6 months, and you travel every 10 days you will be katheer alsafr and you pray full.

Often when we buy food times like noodles or something, I’ll find the vegetarian or vegan label on the packaging but at the same time, I’ll see that it says May contain crustaceans, fish, milk, barley) Is the product halal to consume?

If you receive it from a Muslim country, or the maker is Muslim you can consider it halal. Also, these items you mentioned are halal, with the exception of crab and lobster

After going to dentist usually gums are bleeding slightly for a day or two and can see blood if I check with a napkin. Are there issues of taharah of food or eating utensils as food or spoon etc will come into contact with bleeding gums when eating

As long as you spit out the blood when you know there is blood you are fine and you consider your mouth pure. You do not need to keep washing your mouth. If you are certain there is blood it is haraam to swallow.

Is it permissible to do mustahab salah if you have qadha salahs from previous years?

Yes it is

Many times we know we have to protect our families from the bad influence of friends, but what do you do when your own family members are bad influences? We have to maintain ties but what do you do when your children see the children of other family members have girlfriends, or listening to music, or cursing all of the time, or going to haram places like concerts and their parents are okay with this and they are also Muslim? We are all obviously close but we do things one way and they do things another way, and I’m worried that over time being around that might be tempting because it looks like a lot of fun on the outside

You have to make your kids interactions with the other kids limited and monitored. You have to also talk to your kids and have a stronger influence in their lives. It is forbidden to totally disconnect with family, however making the interactions less and monitoring them does not go against Silat rahim.

I hold a master degree in architecture and I would like to apply to different companies locally and abroad, as you may know nowadays desgin companies take all sorts of projects such as residential, commercial, religious, and so on. I can not guarantee the type of projects that I will be working on therefore, being an employee at these companies will force me to work on several projects, my question is if I will be assigned to any kind of project in the future for example hotels sometimes part of the hotel design is having a club but sometimes not. Will I be contributing to haram things?

Generally speaking it would be ok to be designing a building. If you know that this is going to be used 100 percent in the haraam and does not have another use then you should avoid, however that is something that may rarely happen since many hotels have rooms and halls that can be used for multiple purposes.

I’m in Mekkah, although I have completed my umrah but I wanted to ask can I enter Kaaba or harem while on periods? How can I do wida if I’m on periods. I was told that if I have been on tablet and it’s only brown discontinuous discharge, I can continue tablet and treat it as Istihadha? Is that true

You cannot enter into masjid Al haraam while on your period. You would have to give niyaba to someone else to do tawaf for you if you had to do one. If you are on istihadha you can enter. If you take the tablet during days that you are usually on your period then you would be considered on your period until all bleeding stops, doesn’t matter the color. If you are taking the tablet on days that you are usually not on your period then you consider it istihaza

I have a fiqh question that came up in a discussion that in times of war there are situations where extremeist will do evil and heinous crimes in times or war ( rape , slaughtering ppl in front of family etc) To my knowledge killing one self is haram absolutely, but was told in these extreme situations in order to not be tortured. What is the ruling on such things , and are they forgiven if one does it in such situations (What about other maraja ) and where can I read more into this I have been told many in Iraq /syria / Afghanistan resort to this and want know more about this specific area of concern.

Suicide is haraam, one should fight the oppressor and try to defend themselves instead of killing themselves. If they are killed in self defense then it would be an honorable death.

I have a friend who began question why we believe that her ribs were broken (he is a follower of Sayyed Muhammad Hussain Fadlullah), he has also asked for proof and how Imam Ali (as) would let this happen.

There are many proofs and clues in Islamic history that suggest that the house of lady Fatima was attacked. They did this to take out Imam Ali and force him to give allegiance. Lady Fatima stood in her home behind the door to try to tell them to go away, and they pushed on the door. This was not something that was planned or Imam Ali could have stopped. https://al-islam.org/shiite-encyclopedia/attacking-house-fatimah-sa

A person with type 1 diabetes uses an insulin pump inserted in the abdomen and blood glucose sensor inserted into the arm such that he is always wearing either one or both..he has been told to do tayammum before wajib ghusl.. 1. Can he perform tayammum after ghusl in case he forgets to do it before? 2. Does he need to do wudhu as well after tayammum and ghusl (eg. ghusle janabat) for obligatory prayers? 3. In case of ghusle jummah, can he do tayammum and ghusl and perform obligatory prayers without wudhu?

1) Yes the order does not matter, he just needs to do both out of precaution. 2) No the wudhu would not be necessary unless you did something to invalidate it. 3) According to Sayed Sistani the ghusl of Juma is sufficient for wudhu so it would be ok without the wudhu. Sayed Sistani says that if he is able to take off the patch/device then he should remove it, however if it is too difficult or costly to keep doing so then the ghusl and tayamum would suffice.

I just read surah Ar-Rahman verses 10-16, then this question suddenly came into my mind. Why do we have to be grateful as we never asked to be created? Is it Allah’s responsibility to take care of us as He is the one who decided to create us humans? Please help me answer these questions

We have to be grateful because it is the right thing to do. Even if we didn’t ask to be created, it is morally and ethically wrong to not appreciate all of the blessings and privileges God has given us. The same reason we have to be grateful to our parents, even though we did not choose to be born and it was their decision. Furthermore being grateful removes expected harm and opens the door for greater benefits, so it is common sense to seek protection and increase blessings our way.

Is it permissible for a husband to disallow his wife to do a job, without any valid reason just so he can oppress her? does a husband have that right over his wife

No he should not do that. However if her having a job takes away his right of having his wife available for him he can ask her to remain home.

Is it permissible to remove hijab if job doesn’t allow it and the person really needs the money from the job and she can’t even find any other job which allows hijab.

Are songs without bad words allowed – which do have musical instruments in them, but no bad words,neither do they take you away from Allah?

Music is haraam because of the lyrics and because of the beat, so just because it doesn’t have bad words it would still be haraam because of the music.

I come from a family thats not religious at all and I’m finding it really difficult to be a good Muslim. One thing im struggling with is praying. I never used to pray and I recently asked God for forgiveness and made the decision to do salat al tawba and start praying. Everyone in my family gets acrylic nails and they pray with them because they follow sayed mohammad hussein, but i cannot follow him since he passed away, so I’ve been praying with my nails anyways. After really researching about it, i found that it is actually haram and I dont know why that made me want to stop praying. I really hope there’s no judgement here because im really trying to be a better person but im really struggling because no one I know is religious. Do you have any advice for me

My advice to you is to know the value of prayer. You should know that it is a conversation between you and Your creator, the creator of the universe, God the almighty who has control of all things. Anything you want is in the hands of God, hour happiness in this life and in the afterlife is in the hands of God. My advice is for you to ponder about that, then think how important is God and how important is everything else. When you truly understand the value of prayer, it will be easy for you to sacrifice fake nails for the sake of your prayer. You can wear the nails when you are not praying, however for the purpose of wudhu you need to remove them according to Sayed Sistani.

When washing the arms, I sometimes get confused if I washed my arms twice or three times. What do I do. Also when I’m about to wash my arm I also doubt if I already washed it two times so if I wash it again it will be three times or if I washed it once. What do I do in this case?

If you have the doubt after you are done with the wudhu or after you have moved on to the next step you ignore it and consider your wudhu ok.

Is it permissible to take in crushed Pearl powder?

Yes

I know it’s haram to joke with the opposite gender, but in society now, when you go to the doctor or your teacher or just anywhere in general, the opposite gender jokes around with you, but without any flirting or anything leading to haram, am I supposed to give her a straight face and look uninterested? What about with family? My family usually has family gatherings and me, my cousins and uncles wife joke around with each other, in this case will this still be haram and will I have to give tell them it’s haram and give them uninterested looks?

You should try to avoid talking in ways which would be deemed inappropriate and seem to resemble flirting or can lead to flirting. If it is casual and in a public setting, it would be ok as long as it is not excessive.

Is it alright to do permanent nikah while on period?

Can my husband wear my gold for 5 min or hour so it can be counted as worn/used for the year? Because if khums reason. I am not in same country as my husband because of my visa

ماهو الفرق بين عصمة الأئمة عليهم السلام وبين عصمة العباس والسيدة زينب عليهم السلام؟

عصمة الائمة تعني ان الله اختارهم واصطفاهم ليكونو ائمة وهي اكثر من عدم المعصية او ارتكاب الخطاء او النسيان. عصمة العباس والسيدة زينب عليهم السلام - لا يعصون الله

What is the ruling if someone wanted to travel to a Muslim country to visit family in the month of Ramadan

There is no problem with that. If they travel to one city and stay more than ten days they can fast. If they are moving around and not staying in one place for ten days they break their fast and make it up after.
