  • The receiver of sodomy may enter Paradise after truly repenting

    I found this passage on the Islam QA website and I want to know if what is said is of the correct view according to Islam (i.e. there is no hope of a person reforming after such a thing or entering Paradise etc.). Please be as specific as possible. Thank you.Ibn al-Qayyim said: Both of them – fornication and homosexuality – involve immorality that.. More

  • Attending the funeral prayer to avoid bad thoughts from others

    AsalamoALikum I attended asr salat at a mosque. then the imaam said there would be a janazah salat. i didn't know the person. i wanted to leave. i also didn't remember the munajat and niat correctly.(though i remeberd most parts of it.) but i thought the people would think bad of me since it was my neighbourhood and a few days ago my own father's janazah..

  • Evil thoughts are pardoned unless spoken or practiced

    Dearest scholars. I kindly ask that you answer my questions specifically rather than referring me to other answers b/c I desperately need assurance, with all due respect. My question is regarding the conditions of repentance. If I masturbated (I have repented greatly for this) and imagined filthy thoughts about members of my close family (I am so ashamed.. More

  • Being patient when afflicted with passive-aggressive behaviours

    Salaam, I live in Canada and one of the habits of the non-Muslim white Canadians is to have a way of behaving that is known as "passive-aggressive". What this behaviour type involves is to make fake gestures such as loudly "sniffing" with the nose or loudly coughing around someone in order to make other people in the room feel as if the person who is..

    Dearest scholars. I laughed at somebody else's misfortune one day and at the time I didn't see it as a big deal.

This was about a test mark, the person had received a lower grade than.. More

  • Rights usurped before embracing Islam must be returned to their owners

    Like many misguided people, I did many forbidden acts before converting to Islam, among them, purposefully running up my phone bill and not paying it (Since then, I left that country). I also stole things from people's homes. Am I obligated to reimburse the property that I illicitly acquired before converting to Islam? (I am aware that one must either.. More

  • How a non-Muslims gets retribution from Muslim oppressors in the Hereafter

    I have a query about this hadith: "The Prophet , said in a Qudsi (Sacred) Hadeeth: "Allaah will say on the Day of Judgment, 'I am the King. I am the Judge. It is not for any one of the people of the Fire to enter the Fire when someone from the people of Paradise has a right that belongs to him until I avenge him, and it is not for any one of the people..

  • Muslims may respond equally to abuse without excessive force

    Asalaamulaykum. My question is regarding the rights of an individual when someone (verbally) abuses or insults them. If someone insults a Muslim (e.g. by constant swearing, name calling, swear at Allah, mocking the Prophet(PBUH) etc...), the Muslim then moves away from the person but the person persists in their behaviour (either by following the Muslim..

  • Currency should be repayed in equal amount, regardless of change in value

    Assalaamualaikum Warahmatullahi wabarkatuhu, With reference to Fatwa No : 279829 If I have to repay the amount to the government should I pay back the amount as per the current value of money or of the one at the time I have utilized it?

  • The blame for a sin is not recurring after repenting from it

    Porn websites are haraam undoubtedly. Now the way they make money is from viewers clicking on the sight and viewing adverts on the sight from people viewing the site. My queston is if a Muslim viewed it for sinful purposes (which is wrong and should stop) they have provided the website with money indirectly. Will this person hold continuous sin forever.. More

  • Supplicating Allaah to make us cry out of fear of Him

    When I cry I feel a big relief alhamdulillah but I don't cry much and sometimes try to make myself cry (like when in prayer, hearing an aayah for example) but instead get anxious about having a hard heart and get depressed, so is it alright to ask Allah swt to make you cry out of khashiya? May Allah swt reward you for your effort help. .. More
