Chuck E. Cheese, is that Haram gambling? I read this Time report about court cases in the US arguing it's gambling, yet need to know the Islamic ruling on that .. Jazak Allah khayr! http://business.time.com/2013/05/14/chuck-e-cheese-where-a-kid-can-gamble-like-an-adult/

Haven't been to one, so I recommend asking a scholar from AMJA hotline to get a specific answer to that chain.

Generally speaking, in the Shafi'i matthab, games that are skill based are permissible, even if they had an element of chance, while games that are purely of chance are prohibited.

If those arcade games required a skill (aiming, calculating, focusing, etc.) Then they are permissible in that matthab. And Allah knows best.

ثم ماذا؟
تنافس في الدراسة
ثم تنافس في تحصيل الوظيفة
ثم تنافس في الترقية
ثم تنافس في التوسع من الدنيا
وأين قلبك وهمك من التنافس على إلتزام تكبيرة الإحرام في الصف الأول من الجماعة، وإرضاء والديك، وطلب العلم الشرعي والدعوة إلى الله والصبر على الأذى في سبيل الله؟

الامتحان حيروح
والدرجات حتمشي
والشهادة حتتنسي
وأخلاقك وتصرفاتك ستبقى في ذاكرتك وذاكرة صديقك، وقد يخبرها أولاده وأحفاده يوما ما.
أنظر أين هموم قلبك، وراجع أولوياتك.

When travelling, can one shorten/combine prayers throughout whole journey, or can it only be done for 3 days? And if I pray one full prayer with jamma3h, can I go back to doing taqseer after?

February 23, 2019

Depends on the situation.

If you're going for a known duration, such as for a week long vacation, and you'll stay in a place you own or rented, or a family/friends house, and have your return tickets booked and confirmed on a specific date beyond 4 days. Then you're only a traveler during the trip between the cities, once you arrive to your destination city you are like a resident, and stop combining/shortening prayers from day 1 of arrival.

If the same story above but you're staying for less than 20 prayers (4 days), then you continue to combine from leaving your home city until you return.

If, on the other hand, you're going for an unknown period of time (e.g. traveling to meet a client until you close the deal, seek your money from a debtor until you collect it, or attend court until trial is over, etc) you're staying in a hotel and paying day by day, you don't know how many days you are staying until you finish your business, then you're a traveller throughout the journey, you continue to combine your prayers until you return home.

Sheikh if a man wants to convert to Islam and marry me. Will that be legit. The problem is I believe he won't be a practicing Muslim. I feel he won't do it for himself. I'm not a practicing Muslim myself but I want to start a marriage well. Should I forget him? Please I need your advice. Thanks.

February 22, 2019

You don't guide whom you will. If he is willing to embrace Islam because his marriage depends on him establishing the prayers, and obey God and His messenger, all because of you, and you like him, then why not?

All scholars of Islam agree on accepting the Islam of someone who entered because of a worldly goal. How many people entered Islam like that then become righteous and pious Muslims?

As to you, don't wait for a price charming to be a better Muslima. Any of us could face the angel of death before any of our dreams. So get up now and draw nearer to God, and don't make excuses. If you want a pious man, then start by becoming a pious woman yourself.

واحدة حاجزة عمرة يوم الاتنين اللي جاي ان شاء الله بس زوجها اتوفى امبارح ومش هينفع تسترد فلوس الحجز او التأشيرة ، ينفع تسافر تعمل العمرة ولا لا؟

February 22, 2019

رحمه الله وغفر له وكتب له أجر العمرة التي نواها تامة، وآجرها في مصيبتها ورزقها الصبر والسلوان.
فلتعلم أن الأصل في مبيتها في بيت زوجها طوال وقت العدة مذهب الأئمة الأربعة، وعليه نص حديث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم.
لكن، إذا دفعت المال وتذاكر السفر، وكان يشق عليها المبلغ، فتذهب، تخريجا على قول الإمام الموفق ابن قدامة في المغني عن التي خرجت مع زوجها من بلدتهما وباشرا في سفر الحج والعمرة ثم توفي زوجها في الطريق، أنها تكمل ولا ترجع للمشقة. وشراء التذاكر والحجز مثل المباشرة في السفر. والله أعلم.
ولتكثر من الدعاء لزوجها في سفرها وعمرتها فهو يصله بإذن الله.

So do I not have to remove foundation (makeup) then?

February 22, 2019

If it's water based, then you don't have to remove it, as it'll wash away with wudu.

If it's one of those waterproof, oil based ones, then you should remove it first if you think the water will not actually reach some of your skin.

Is it bad in Islam (haram or makruh) to not want to marry someone based on the skin color they have due to not finding it attractive? No racism/pride intented. Or country/culture someone is from because you find their general lifestyle habits to not match your preferances?

February 22, 2019

Not at all. There's nothing wrong in not marrying someone if you're not attracted to them.

How do you feel about halal nail polish? Can I still do wudu while wearing it?

February 22, 2019

If it's a dye only, like henna, and doesn't harden to form a crust, like an egg shell, or a waterproof layer, then it's not a barrier for wudu.

As to how I feel about it, I can't say I've tried it, so I have no feelings regarding to that.

Furthermore, religious rulings have nothing to do with how I feel.

It is a legitimate reason, if your dad thinks you won't be satisfied with your life in a lower standard. Either way, talking is the right way.

The hadeeth is about abandoning/boycotting a Muslim without a just cause.

If they are harmful to you, or if your presence around them provokes them to do harm, then you should stay away.

I said someone's knowledge is "God-level". Is this shirk? Do I have to shower and say shahada?

February 21, 2019

A woman praised the prophet with poetry in front of him, until she said: "... And among us is a Prophet who knows what's happening tomorrow."

The Prophet interrupted and said: Let this part go, and continue what you were saying.

Attributing a human to a divine attribute is blasphemy, major kufr. But the person who said such a thing isn't kaafir necessarily, especially if it was a tongue slip, or a rhetoric praise that gone too far.

It is prohibited nonetheless. And the video games and the movies that promote these concepts and uses these terms are more dangerous than people think, because these things seep into the subconscious, and if not cleared out, they'll eventually find a place to settle in the heart.

If I don't know whether there is something or not, do I just assume my wudu is valid, or should I be re-doing my wudu before every prayer? Jazak Allah khair

February 17, 2019

Build on certainty. If you have regular discharge all day long. Then redo wudu for the prayer. If you didn't, or weren't sure, then the default is that your last wudu is still valid unless you're certain it broke.

February 16, 2019

That used to be imam Ahmed's opinion regarding the rulers before his time. He explicitly stated that in his nowadays, the Muslim rulers don't deserve any of those rights.

This is an excerpt from imam Lakila'ee's explanation on aqeedah. Those rules only apply to the Muslim just rulers, the imam didn't believe it applied to the Abbasid dynasty. It is madness to claim his belief would apply on any Muslim dynasty or government afterwards.

غير السائل ، كيف نوفق بين اضرار السّهر و الآية : (( كانوا قليلا من اللّيل ما يهجعون))

February 15, 2019

مثل ما الزكاة والصوم والحج والجهاد فيها ضرر بدني ومالي، والمؤمنون يفعلون ذلك لاحتساب رضا الله و في الآخرة.

ومعلوم أن الإنسان مأجور على المشقة في العبادة، وأن غير المستطيع له رخص، لأن الله لا يكلف نفسا إلا وسعها.

هذا كله في باب العبادات.

أما في المعاملات والعادات، فليست المشقة مطلوبة أصلا، ولا يؤجر عليها المرء إذا تعنت الحصول عليها.

فشخص يؤثر السهر على النوم من أجل قيام الليل مأجور على ذلك، وغيره يؤثر السهر بدون سبب، لا يؤجر عليه.

It is God who set these rules in the world for a wisdom.

You can't jump off a building and expect God to disable gravity just for you. Our relationship with God is that of servanthood. He is a master. We are servants. He commands. We obey.

We don't try to cheat the laws which God made and expect to get away with it.
