The company sends you out on its behalf and hence it allows you to spend on travel and personal expenses from the company. Therefore, the money which is saved after all expenses during the journey should be given back as it belongs to the company. (Badae’ussanai’, Kitabul-Muzarabh, 06:105, 107) However, if the company gives the remaining money back to you as gift, it is permissible for you to take it.
والله اعلم N.B.The above-mentioned answer should be regarded concerning the case when no specific travel allowance is agreed up. But if a specific travel expenses is agreed up and stipulated by the company for the employee whether he spends it or not or spends more or less than that fixed allowance, it is permissible for the employee to take the remaining allowance for himself.

I am working as an HR & Recruitment Manager at Karachi, Pakistan with a USA based Information Technology Company. One of my job responsibilities is to recruit Software Engineers for USA including males and females both. Can I place or apply for female software engineers on various jobs/projects in the USA & is the commission or salary generated by it Halal for me?
Please reply in the light of Shariah.
وعليكم السلام
باسمه تعالى
Dear Brother in Islaam, the question needs more clarification specially the part ‘female software engineers’ requires more elaboration. Therefore, we request you re-post the question explaining all the aspects in details.
والله اعلم
Here’s revised and updated version of my question as per your concern.
I am working as an HR & Recruitment Manager at Karachi, Pakistan with a USA based Information Technology Company. One of my job responsibilities is to recruit/hire Software Engineers for USA including males and females both. My question is that can I hire / recruit software engineer or computer engineer with female gender and apply them for jobs in USA and finally place them on projects. Can I talk to them on phone for this purpose.
Is the salary or commission generated out of this responsibility Halaal for me in Shariah.
وعليكم السلام
باسمه تعالى
Hiring female software engineers leads to committing two major sins, communicating with opposite sex without an extreme necessity and becoming a means of sins by hiring them for the project where they will intermingle with opposite sex. “Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa; but do not help one another in sin and transgression.” (Suratul Maidah5:2) Therefore, it is not permissible for you to hire female software engineers.
As far as the salary is concerned, recruitment of female software engineers is not the only responsibility that you have been assigned but it is included in responsibilities. Therefore, the salary generated out this HR and Recruitment Manger Job is Halaal provided the other responsibilities are in with the Islaamic Shariah and the main businesses of the company is based on Halaal sources.

My wife entered Islam not long ago, and she is working hard to become a good Muslima. In fact, she’s learning many things, and also to wear the hijab, she has not ever had any problems. The problem is there for her work.
She also wants to wear hijab at work it, but unfortunately she can not because her work is very sensitive and very particular, in a particular area of the State..in a European country that is not Muslim. In her field her employer would not accept at all, for the tasks she performs, she wears hijab. She would has many disciplinary problems, or even expulsion or dismissal. How to solve this problem so that she will not fall in haram? She is very sad and worried for this reason!
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Barakallahu fik, Allah ma’ak.

Hijaab is a religious obligation which can not be overlooked or neglected because of obedience to the creature. Imaam Bukhari and Muslim رحمهما الله تعالىhave recorded that the Nabee of Allaah is reported to have said, “…no obedience for evil deeds, obedience is required only in what is good.” (Agreed upon)
Therefore, it is allowed for her to work in such a company where she is not permitted to observe Shar’ee Hijaab. She may ask Allaah and look for such work, if really needed where she can observe Shar’ee Hijbaab as Allaah has taken the responsibility to provide every creature with sustenance. “And no moving creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah. And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit. All is in a Clear Book”. (Surah Hood 11:06)

I have been suffering from Vitiligo disease since last 4 years. It has badly affected by body until now including my hair. A small portion of my hair got white from head back side which is easily noticed by viewers.
Can I dye them black so they match the original hair.
Jazakallaho Khaira
وعليكم السلام
باسمه تعالى
Dyeing hair with pure black colour which resembles the original blackness of the hair and gives the impression of being young is forbidden for both man and woman beside the Mujahideen because of the prohibition and severe warning narrated from the beloved Nabee of Allaahﷺ.
Imaam Muslimرحمه الله تعالى has recorded in his Saheeh Muslim on the authority of Sayyedinaa Jaabirرضى الله عنه that when Sayyedianaa Abu-Quhafahرضى الله عنه embraced Islaam at the conquest of Makkah and was taken to the Nabee of Allaahﷺ, he ﷺasked him to dye his white hair but at the same time prohibited him from using black dye. Imaam Abu Dawood and Nasaiرحمها الله تعالى have recorded that the Nabee of Allaahﷺ said, “There will be people at the end of time who will dye their hair black like the crops of pigeons; they will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise.”
However, dyeing hair with read and yellow colour is permitted for both genders rather recommend. Imaam Ahmad رحمه الله تعالىhas recorded in Musnad Ahmad on the authority of Sayyedianaa Abu Umamah رضى الله تعال عنهthat the Nabee of Allaahﷺ passed by a group of white-bearded Ansaries. He said: – “Dye your beards with red or yellow dye. Expose your disparateness with the people of the book, Jews and Christians as they are not inclined to apply hair dye.”
Therefore, dyeing hair with any other colour beside pure black is permissible. Using back dye is forbidden for both sexes.

Subject: Permissibility of using taweez[amulets] made from Quran.
I read ‘Remedies from the holy Quran’ writted by Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi, I many places he permits the use of a taweez, the concept of which is declared as Unlawfull by most of the scholores. Can you please proved the hadith that confirms the permissibility of using taweez for treatment.
JazakAllah
Ruhul
Wa alaykumus Salaam wa rahmatullaah
If you have a goos look in the introduction of the book under discussion you will se that Mujaddidul millaah moulana thanwi rahimahullah has clearly mentioned proofs of the using of taweezat that consists of Qur’aani aataar.If the taweez contains any non qur aani subject matter or non ahadeeth matter than even moulana thawi nawarallaahu marqadahu has forbidden it. The original issue is to make ruqya which is fully saabit from ahaadeeth. Many people, infact most of the masses . cannot read qur’aan properly nowadays.Even eloquent arabic speaking people who never studied qur aan cannot read it properly.(this i talk from experience) For their ease qur aanic aayat are written and given as taweez to wear. Proof for this is found in the lives of the sahaabah radhiyallahu anhum who did so for their young children who were unable to read (abdullah bin amr bin alaas radhiyaalhu anhumma naraates that he was given a so called taweez containing quranic ayaat to wear).Many so called ulema that claims to be the majority have even made ruqya haraam whilst it is clearly proven from the sihaah sitta and from the life of our beloved messenger of ALLAH salallaahu alayhi wasallam.Most of this is mentioned in amaliyyaat quraani
Wallahu a’lam
JazakAllah for your reply. But I still have a few questions of this subject. When we give proofs on the usage of taweez to such people who declare them as Haram, they say that the victim starts build trust and faith of the taweez and that leads to shirk and further more, they put up the following questions to us:
1.If we wear taweez around our neck, or put in wallet, we will bring Quranic verses into toilets, right ? Is that ok to bring Quranic verses into toilets ? It this not disrespecting the Quranic verses?
2.Is it ok to wear quranic taweez when one is unclean [state of Janabha or Menses] ? It this not disrespecting the Quranic verses?
3.If we put taweez under the pillow, what happens if we sleep on the taweez or we step on the taweez. Is it ok if we step on Quranic pages?
4.If we have a bookstore selling Quran, does all the Quran will protect us ? people have several copies of Quran at home but still there affected by Jinn and Shir? Then how will you justify this.
5.If the victims start building trust and faith in these taweez, or fall into to hands of false alims who use shirk, who is responsible for their misguidance ? the scholars who recommend them or the victim you is totally unaware?
6.Why did Peophet[SA] never had a taweez for himself? And why did he not recommend this to Ahela Baith? And why do even muslime who know Quran have taweez around their necks?
How do we answer such questions? And also does repentance become obligatory from a person who calls Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi[RA] a magician nauzbillah because he wrote a book ‘Remedies from Holy Quran’ that uses taweez.
JazakAllah
Ruhul.
Wa alaykumus Salaam 1. If a qur’aan is wrapped in a cloth will it be permissible to touch it over the cloth , even for a woman in her menses? The answer for this suffices for your question. As for the toilet issue every aamil will request that it be remoced before entering the toilet.
2. The women in menses is not reading the qur’aanic verses, so? Nor is she tpuching it directly!! To touch the qur’aan covered in a sheet is permissible. Nowadays the same group who clims that taweez is shirk and bring forward these questions will say it is good and encouraged to put qur’aans in hotle rooms so that the kuffar casn read it , whether in menses or not.
3. Putting of taweez under the pillow, from what i know will not contain qur’aanic verses.Even when putting i under they will tell you to remove it in the morning and keep it safely.
4. The word qur’aan means to recite. the mushaf is for reciting not an ornament nor a decoration, like many homes have. In the taweez are specific aayaat like ayatul kursi etc which are known as aayaat of hirs and protection.Normally those who cannot read properly are given these verses in written form to help and protect them . Qur’aan is kalaamullaah how can it be a form of shirk when it (the meaning of the words) is a sifat of ALLAH?
5.To place trust in the verses of the qur’aan shirk?? Astaghfirullaah!!!
Yes to go to a person involed in shirki aamaliyaat is a major sin. People go mostly on their own or are directed by others. Both are sinful.
6. The Nabi of ALLAH encouraged reading the aayaat for protection. HE would read and blow on the people , which you will find in the narrations of hadeeth.The qur’aan was revealed as a cure to our ailments both spiritual as well as physical. In the the qur’aan in surah Israa verse no 8 it is mentioned :-
{ وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلاَ يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ إَلاَّ خَسَاراً }
And We reveal of (min [here] is explicative) the Qur’ān that which is a cure, , and a mercy for believers, thereby; though it only increases the evildoers, the disbelievers, in loss, because of their disbelief in it.
As i mentioned that if you go into the history of the ahlulbait you will find that on the small children the used taaweez.
as for the issue of huffaz using taweez it is because many aamils have made this their income and fear to give the auraad of people thereby giving them the taweez containing those verses. Also many out of laziness rather prefer wearing the taweez instaed of reading the veses themselves. Therefore many only find temporary relief and after a while the problem recurrs.
One very important issue which i also feel disrespect is that the person wearing a taweez nd is involved in kabaair while wearing the taweez. I have seen a person driving around in his fancy car and the music is at deafening level. How will it be a means of protection when we show disrespect to the commands of ALLAH. tO ATTRACT allah’s attention and mercy we need to please allah and follow his commands. The level of permissibility is abused by some and therefore these doubts come about.Many a time he condition of permissibility are broken by the users and such causes many douvts on the actual permissibility.
Assalamulaikum Mufti Sahab,
JazakAllah for your reply, I also have few more questions:
1. Does repentance become obligatory from a person who calls Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi[RA] a magician nauzbillah because he wrote a book ‘Remedies from Holy Quran’ that uses taweez.
2. Can we recite Quran and convey its virtues to our deseased[dead muslims]? if so could you please provide some refrences from QUran and Hadith so that I could convey this to my friends who reject this concept.
3. Some question regarding Qasar[namaz during travelling]:
a. Should only 2 rakats be offered during magrib.
b. Can sunnath be offered when Qasar becomes applicable.
c. When we are praying behind an Imam, who is praying 4 rakhats and we join the salat after 2 rakhats, should that be sufficient for a person on whom Qasar is applicable.
d. A person in Qasar who gets the first two rakhats should break his prayer after salaam in Jamath even thought the imam continues with teh next rakhat, right ?
4. I have heard that the place where the body of our Prophet[SA] rests subhanallah is more pure and holier than Mecca, Medina, Arsh and Kursi this is the Ijmah of all scholors have confirmed this. Can we support our claims through Quran and hadith.
5. Can we mentione the name of our Prophet[SA] during dua as a wasila. Is there any ahadith to support this concept apart from the one which mentions that hazrath Adam[AS] did it, people disregard this hadith saying that its weak/za-eef .
Thanks in advance. May ALlah subhanahu wa tala reward you and your entire team in both the worlds.Ameen. JazakAllah Khair.

وقد ذكر جماعة منهم الشيخ أبو نصر بن الصباغ في كتابه ” الشامل ” الحكاية المشهورة عن العتبي، قال: كنت جالساً عند قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فجاء أعرابي فقال: السلام عليك يا رسول الله، سمعت الله يقول: { وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوۤاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَآءُوكَ فَٱسْتَغْفَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَّحِيماً } وقد جئتك مستغفراً لذنبي، مستشفعاً بك إلى ربي. ثم أنشأ يقول:يا خَيْرَ مَنْ دُفِنَتْ بِالقاعِ أَعْظُمُهُ فَطابَ مِنْ طِيْبِهِنَّ القاعُ والأَكَمُ
نَفْسِي الفِداءُ لِقَبْرٍ أَنْتَ ساكِنُهُ فيهِ العَفافُ وفيهِ الجُودُ والكَرَمُ
ثم انصرف الأعرابي، فغلبتني عيني، فرأيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في النوم، فقال: يا عتبي الحق الأعرابي، فبشره أن الله قد غفر له».
One powerful wird/wazifa was given to me, it is said that this wird MashaAllah could be used as a means for protection and cure against Blackmagic and evil Jinn and is suppose to be very effective to banish and neutralize all evils and blackmagic. As per my limited understanding any incantation that doesn’t contain any shirk is permissible in Islam, so I wanted to validate this wazifa before forwarding it to others. The wazifa is as below:
BE HAQ E YA JIBRAEEL YA MIEKA’EEL YA ISRAFEEL YA IZRAEEL WA BA HAQ E RAHMATIKA YA ARHAMARA HEMEEN
بِحَقِ یَا جِبۡرَایلَ یَا میکَا یلَ
یَا اِسرَا فیلَ یَا عِزۡرَا یلَ وَ بِحَقِ رَحۡمَتِکَ یَا اَرۡحَمَ
الرٰ حِمِیۡنَ
Please let me know its meaning and whether it would lead to shirk if it’s recited. And also whether it could be recited by removing the word YA and adding WA as below to avoid shirk.
BE HAQ E JIBRAEEL WA MIEKA’EEL WA ISRAFEEL WA IZRAEEL WA BA HAQ E RAHMATIKA YA ARHAMARA HEMEEN
Thanks in Advance. JazakAllah Khair.
WasSalaam
Ruhul.
Wa alaykumus Salaam warahmtullaah
i think it would be better if you read it bihaqqin ya jibraail would be permissible.
In its original form too the wird does not show any form of shirk. It only seeks help from the four angels through the mercy of ALLAH. hAQ REFERS TO ALLAH.
as salaam alai Kum,
mufti sahab , i ant to know that online advertisment & data entry jobs of ebay , google , rediff etc are haram ro halal

for anything to be regarded Halaal or haraam the criterion is whether shariah regulations are broken or not.Eg interest orientated business,selling of haraam commodaties, etc.
Each job will be jugded seperately on bases of its products.
Assalaamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
JazakALlah khira for your previous reply. I have a few more questions:
1. I still have some clarification on Qasar…for magrib should the person pray 3 or only 2 rakhats?
2.During salaat due to some reason if we recite surah fataha incorrectly and we realize this after the next surah, can we recite surah fataha again..is it ok if we recite surah fataha after the zam surah due to some reasons.
3.During our fardh salat can we repeat any surah twice or thrice.
4.During the sajdha of fardh salaat after the tasbi, can we do some dua?
5.What is the complete meaning of BE HAQ E YA JIBRAEEL YA MIEKA’EEL YA ISRAFEEL YA IZRAEEL WA BA HAQ E RAHMATIKA YA ARHAMARA HEMEEN. to be more specific what is the meaning of BE HAQ E and BA HA Wa alaykumus Salaam
1.Three raka aats will be read for qasr as there is no half rakaat.
2.If the error is of a minor then the salaah will be in tact. The repeating of the sura is not necessary .
3.If one is munfarid then it will be allowed. (i.e. reading salaah alone). Repitition is permissible as long as it does not cause inconvenience to the mqtadis(those following the imaam)
4. Same answer as no 3
5.the meaning is as follows :- by the Right (of ALLAH) oh jibraeel , oh mikaaeel,oh izraeel, oh israfeel and by the right of your mercy ,OH ALL MERCIFUL of those who show mercy’
there is no difference between ba and bee as baa is a mispronunciation of bee in arabic. In urdu there is a difference.
Is it permissible for muslims to subjugate Jinn and use them for beneficial purposes like to find our if the person is affected by blackmagic or for healing purposes or to know the location of the missing person.
If your answer is yes, then please provide references from Hadith to prove this, so that I can forward this to my friends and also have any sahaba[RA] used jinn for any beneficial purposes.
JazakALlah Khair in advance. Wa alaykumus Salaam
sorry for the delay in answer. Muftu shihab is on vacation and i have to answer alone.
Anyway to subjugate jinn is something not permissible as they are the creation of ALLAH.For any person to take another as captive whilst he is a free being is haraam in shariah. Those who do so will be responsible in the aakhirah.
However if a person befriends a jinn and he helps him in such matters ut will be permissible. We should remember that sayyidina sulaiman alayhis Salaam took work from the jinn as mentioned in the qur’aan. Also there are many ahaadeeth that mention them coming and discussing with rasulullaah salalaahu alayhi wa sallam
In surah saba verse 12 and 13 ALLAH mentions how the jinn had made for sulaiman various things and sulaiman a.s. was ask to be grateful for it.
( ومن الجن من يعمل بين يديه بإذن ربه ومن يزغ منهم عن أمرنا نذقه من عذاب السَّعير – يعملون له ما يشاء من مَّحاريب وتماثيل وجفانٍ كالجواب وقدورٍ رَّاسِيَاتٍ) [ سبأ : 12-13 ] .
and (We gave him) certain of the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And such of them as deviated from Our command, them We caused to taste the punishment of flaming Fire.
[34:13]
They made for him what he willed: synagogues and statues, basins like wells and boilers built into the ground. Give thanks, O House of David! Few of My bondmen are thankful.
Further more there are many ahadeeth about muslim jinn and there entrance into the house and what to do. In fact Imaam Maalik and imaam Ahmad were of the opnion that marraige between jinn and ins was also permissible.(however imaam maalik mentioned that he discourages it otherwise pregnant women from zina will claim that their husbands are jinn).
Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned in his majmoo3ul fattaawaa (19/39) that marraige between jinn and human is something knwn , even them having offspring.
When such relationships are permiossible then friendship and seeking help from them is permissible too, as long as it is in the confines of shariah.
asslam o alaikum, plz let me know that eating choclates -dairy milk ,kit-kat, company product and other choclates halal or haram to eat?
Wa alaykumus Salaam
We should check the ingredients if they are halaal or haraam
Many a times gelatine is used in chocloates and sweets. As far as the two names mentioned they are halaal.But make a habit of checking the ingredients.
I want to cook a daig from a professional Cook and have it eaten by poor people as I made a mannat that if all my worries gone I will cook a daig. Now since I have not mentioned in my Mannat that how much people will i feed. Normally a daig is of 50 persons.
can I feed around 30 people from this daig and remaining I separate for myself and my relatives? Or do i have to dedicate the whole daig to poor people and should make a separate arrangements for relatives? Please reply.
ASSALAAMU ALAYKUM
As you stipulated that you will cook a daig to feed the poor, it will be necessary to feed whatever is cooked in a daig.If you wish to split it then it has to be cooked in two seperate pots.The one to fulfill the mannat and the other tof eed your family.
I made up the the arabic version of the following Darood “O Allah! Bestow complete blessings and perfect peace on Sayyidina Muhammad and his Family according to the number of things in Your Knowledge”.
Please validate and let me know which arabic version is correct:
(1)ALLAHUMMA SALLI SALAATAN KAAMILATAN WA SALLIM SALAAMAN TAAMMAN ‘ALAA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI SAYYIDINA WA MAULANA MUHAMMADIN ‘ADADA KULLA MA’LOOMIN-LAK
or
(2)ALLAHUMMA SALLI SALAATAN KAAMILATAN WA SALLIM SALAAMAN TAAMMAN ‘ALAA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI SAYYIDINA WA MAULANA MUHAMMADIN ‘ADADA MAA FEE IL-MIL LAAH
Reciting ‘ADADA KULLA MA’LOOMIN-LAK or ‘ADADA MAA FEE IL-MIL LAAH is more correct.
JazakAllah.
Wa alaykumus Salaam
Both versions are incorrect. The proper will be adada maaloomaaatik.
Is it permissible to recite Durood Tunjeena, does it contains words of SHIRK, the meaning is a mentioned below:
“O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our Master, and his Family such blessings by means of which Thou may relieve us of all anxieties and calamities. Thou may satisfy all our needs. Thou may clean us of all evils and thanks for which Thou may grant us high position and high rank and status in Thy presence, and Thou may lead us to the utmost limit of our aspirations and capacity in whatever is best in this world as well as in the world Hereafter, as Thou has the full Power over everything”.
The complete Durood can be found at the below site:
JazakAllah
wa alaykumus Salaam
The durood tunjeena is a durood encouraged by oyr mashaaikh and is totally free of shirk and kufr. It has tawasul bil amal which is permissible and proven from the incident of the three people caught in the cave and they used the wasila of their good aamaal to get themselves out of the cave.
Is it permissible to recite ‘ASTAGHFIRULLAAHI RABBI WA ‘ATOOBU ‘ILAYHI ‘ADADA MAA FEE IL-MIL LAAH
I think the meaning of which is “I seek forgiveness from Allah my Rabb and I turn to Him in Repentance equal to the count of things in HIS/Allah’s Knowledge”
JazakAllah
Wa alaykumusSalaam
Istighfaar is linked to sins committed in the past.Therefore asking for forgiveness is based on ones past deeds. Therefore it would be better to read
astaghfirullaah rabbi wa atoobu ilayhi min kulli zhambiw wa khati’ah.
Looking at the Du’aa you suggested actually does not make sense as everything is within the knowledge of ALLAH and nothing is unknown to him.Outwardly it seems the du’aa claims that there is a possibility that some issues are not known to ALLAH and therefore this du’aa will not be permissible.
Mufti Sahab I wanted to know which verse is mentioned in the below hadith that is equivalent to a thousand verses. My guess was that this verse should be the same and should appear in all the surah mentioned below. However, I didn’t find any common verse that occurs in all the below surah’s, so I think may be its a verse that contains a common name of Allah accross these surah.
Please advice.
JazakAllah.
Irbaadh bin Saariyah (R.A.) narrates that the Prophet (S.A.W.) used to recite the Musabbihaat, i.e. Surah Hadeed, Surah Hashar, Surah Saff, Surah Jumu’ah and Surah Taghaabun before sleeping and he stated that: “Indeed amongst them is a verse that is more virtuous than a thousand verses. (Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi)
Rausullaah Saaws ordered us to read the whole surah and personally did not mention the specific aayah. We therefore do not concern ourselves about the aayah but rather do what sayyidul kounain salalaahu alayhi wa sallam had ordered us.
Mufti sahab, please let me know in the state of Fasting, can one kiss, hug and fondle ones spouse.
Thanks !
Wa alaykumus salaam.
To hug ones wife without shahwah is permissible. However kissing, and fonding ismakhruh even when one feels safe that he will not be aroused.
Rathe abstain form these acts while fasting because they are permissible after breaking fast.
Mufti Sahab, due to time limitations and limitations of free space, in my articles, after writing Prophet[SA]’s name, I write SA instead of Sallallahu Alaihi Wa salam, is this permissible or is it a sin on my part to write SA or SAW in my articles. Can you also provide appropriate references to support the same .
JazakALlah.
Wa alaykumus Salaam
On the first occasion of mentioning Rasulullaah’s name (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) then mention it fully. Thereafter you may write saw or whatever you wish.
Mufit sahab, please let me know if the arabic version of this wazifa using wasila of the names of Allah is correct :
BISMILLAAHI BE HAQ-QE-ASMA’IHI WA BE HAQ_QE KALIMAATI HI “In the name of Allah-By the Right of His names and by the Right of His Kalimaat[Words of power/praise]”
Please validate the arabic version and let me know if the above words could be recite before any dua.
JazakAllah And WasSalaam.
Wa AlaykumusSalaam
it will ne permissible to use those words in your du’aa. When waseelaa of out aamaal is permissible unanimously thenwhy not asking through the barakah of his Attributes and his Quraan. We find in the hadeeth that the person who completes a khatm of the qur’aan that we are told to read:-
ALLAHUMMAR HAMNI BIL QUR’AAN
which means “OH ALLAH bless me through the means of the qur’aan.
Also it will be more appropriate to change the words of bihaqe with bibarakati.
Wallaahu a’lam
Mufti Sahab the question is about reciting “Naad-e-Ali”. Some time back I had a conversation with a Barelvi alim, he suggested that the best wizafa for all your needs is to recite ‘Naad-e-ALi’ abundantly and this has been tried and tested by several people before. I told that this wizafa contains words of shirk and such words of praises were never used by any of the pious-predecessors, he told me that this is not shirk as we only belief that its only Allah that fulfill our needs and that Prophet[SA] used these words to call Hazrat Ali during battle of Kybar. In my limitied knowledge “Naad-e-ali” is made permissible by the Shia’s and the Barelvi’s and not the Ahele-sunnah-wal-Jamath. Please let me know if there is a hadith in which Prophet[SA] recited ‘naad-e-ali’ and whether it can be recited with intentions that its only Allah who provides the help and also how do people receive benefits by reciting this if it contains words of shirk.
WA ALAYKUMUS sALAAM
SORRY FOR DELAY IN ANSWERING.
Naadae ai is known to have words of shirk in it and if Rasulullaah salallaahu alayhi wasallam used it why is it that none of the famous great scholars of islam ever mentioned it.
If you are referring to this false lies of the filthy shia
At the battle at the Fort of Khyber, Hazrat Ali had stayed behind, and when the Muslims were losing hopelessly, Prophet Muhammad called for the help of Hazrat Ali in his prayer to Allah. Ya Ali Bilutfika Adrikani! O Ali, come to my help by Thy Favor! Hazrat Ali came riding and to the rescue of his team; he held the door of the fort across the moat, miraculously, with one arm, until all the Muslims had crossed over. This resulted in victory for the Muslims.
then i i ask you to read any seerah book and see what the aahadeeth say about the battle of khyber. Another thin that is disturbing is that Rasulullaah saaws would seek help from ghairullaah and was disressed??
JazakALlah Mufti Sahab, for all your replies on the various wazifa !!
Please validate the arabic version on the below wazifa and let me know if any corrections are needed.

i reside in USA and i deal in perfumes,1st of all i wud like to know is it permissible in islam to use perfumes that have some quantity of alcohol in it and secondly can the fragrances be used during ramadan.
I have one other concern that is i see some counter fitted items that are available as well,can they be sold to a customer if you show them the same product as in the box but ypu dont tell them any further details,though the prices are low i dont wanna assume that customer knows what they getting,what does islam says regarding this issue
Kindly guide me in this regard even if its been discussed earlier,
thx
Wa alykumus Salaam
Alcohol based perfumes are permissile to use as they evaporate and leave no stain. However it would be preferrable to use non-alccoholic perfumes which is the sunnah and practise of Rasululaah salllaahu alayhi wa sallam.
2. As for selling something that is concieled in a container and the customer asks for it then itwill be permissible to sell it to him like that. However to put him at ease it will be advisable to open and show it to him.
mufti saheb i wanted to ask if cutting hair in different styles is permissible if the husband likes it or is it stiil wrong?
ASSALAAMU ALAYKUM
Cutting of hair in the method of the non muslim is in itself tashabbuh bil kuffar.Cutting of the hair in the manner that resembles males is totally forbidden as rasulullaah salall;aahu alayhi wa sallam has cursed those who resemble males or imitatte them.
Mufti Sahab, usually while performing salat in Jamath at my office, the Barelvi people come forward and lead the prayers. The problem with them is that they do not fold their pants and pray with their trousers falling below their anklets. When I talk to them on this topic they say they are correct, but mashallah, I have read the maslah that praying with trousers below the ankle will not only invalidate the salat but one should also perform wadhu again. My question is whether I should pray salat independently at office or in Jamath when (1) A berelvi is leading the prayer and he is intentionally lowering his pant/trouser below his ankle and he does not fold it (2) if any person is leading the prayer and his pant is below his ankle or is not folded correctly above his ankle.
Please advise, as I’ am confused about the right approach I should take !!
JazakAllah and Wassalaam,
Ruhul
Wa alaykumus Salaam
Firstly i wish to clarify that keeping your trouser below your ankles does not invalidate wudhu. Your wudhu will be intact but you are under direct curse of ALLAH and HIS RAsool saaws.
I personally will advise you to perform your salaah with jamat and also try and lead the prayers yourself or encourage others with saheehul aqeedah to do so. The problem lays with them who refuse to read behind us and feel that their salaah will be invalid. Remember the imaam is responsible and bears all responsibilities.(tirmidhi). Also take heed that salaah is permissible behind aan open sinner if elected as imaam.
Mufti Sahab I wanted to know the validity of the below ahadith, could you let me know whether they are acceptable and have any scholors of Deoband commented on them ?
Hadith 1: Imam At-Tabraani quotes a Hadith Shareef in which the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaiyhi Wa Sallam) declares, “There will always exist 40 persons on the Earth, each of whom is blessed like Hazrat Ebrahim (Alayhis Salaam). It rains because of their Barakah. Allah appoints another when one of them dies.”
Hadith 2: Abu Na’eem reports that the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaiyhi Wa Sallam) said, “There always exist 40 persons among my Ummah. Their hearts are like that of Hazrat Ebrahim (Alayhis Salaam). Allah Ta’ala redeems His human servants from disasters for their sake. They are called Abdaal. They do not attain to that degree by performing Salaah, fasting, or giving Zakaat.”
JazakALlah and WasSalaam
The ahaadeeth about the abdaals are wellknown and also mentioned in the saheeh books of hadeeth.The issue of the abaadila are mentioned in ahaadeeth and mullaah ali alqaari in mirqaat the sharh of mishkaat has given details about them.Hafiz ibn hajar asqalaani in fathulbaari has also mentioned them.Many of our ulema e deoband have written about them especially moulana thanvi rahimahullaah and the likes.Some of the ahaadeeth do have wekness but there are many ahaadeeth that are saheeh and therefore the belief about them is regarded as haq by the ahlus sunnah wajamah
Mufti Sahab since we don’t have a good provision for Wadhu at office, what we normally do is, we make Wadhu in the wash basin and latter we wash our feet in the toilets. Some, people say’s that wadhu in toilets is against sunnah and is not recommended, its therefore preferable to wipe over the feet at the wash basin rather than washing the feet in toilets. Mufti Sahab, please confirm the below:
(1)Will the wadhu be valid if feets are washed in the toilet, in such a way that our feet remain clean after washing ?
(2)Will wadhu be valid if any one wipes over the feet with water, rather than washing them ?
(3)Is wadhu or Ghusul in bathroom that have toilets permissible or is it against sunnah? and will it effect the rewards of the wadhu or ghusal in anyway, as nowdays, in every home the washrooms have toilets.
Please give a detailed explaination so that I can share this with my collegues !!
Thanks in Advance !!
JazakAllah and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus salaam
Washing of the feet is fardh in wudhu in accordance to all mazhaahib. When using khuffs(leather or it equivalent) then to make masah wil lbe permissible.To wipe over nylon socks,etc is wrong and not permissible.
Strangely i would like to know what prevents us from washing our feet in the basin by raising it up??
To wash it in the toilet will be permissible but not preferrable.However no masnoon duaas can be read whilst washing in the toilet.
JazakAllah khair to you and your entire team of Jaamia Hamidia!!
The problem with washing feet in the basin is :
1. Our non-believing, colleagues sarcastically look at people when they are doing this, we have managers, clients and top officials at office.
2. This is also creating problems to the maintenance people and other colleagues at the office, as people spill water on the floor and make the floor slippery.

Actually i think we should clean up our mess after we make it.
also this is a form of da’wah to them.
One of my friend forwarded an article “Virtues and Laws Pertaining to Bismillah” written by Mufti Muhammad Shafi’ ‘Uthmani
The salafies as usual criticized the following points:
==========================
For intelligence and memory:
Recite it 786 times, blow in water and drink this water at the time of sunrise. Intelligence will be increased and the memory will be improved.
For increase in affection:
Recite it 786 times, blow in water and give that person to drink whose affection is required. That persons love and affection for one will be increased. It is forbidden to use this for illicit love.
==========================
They say that using or writing of 786 is Bidah and its usage should be discouraged. I know that this is an ancient practice of some of the uelema mainly for the purpose of avoiding disrespect to the holy words, but then how can we answer the concept of 786 in the light of Quran and Hadith..
And also some other salafies say that 786 is equal to hari-rama-hari-krishna…
Please advice !!
JazakALlah !!
Take care and WasSalaam.
WA ALAYKUMUS SALAM
Actually the numerical system of the arabic alphabets are known as the abjad hooz. It is a system that was practiced in the time of Rasulullaah salalaahu alayhi wa sallam.
Another thing is a mumin and muslim’s wont go to hari krisna etc unless he is involved in shirk nd kufr. It seems their minds are warped and filled with such thoughts.another thing is the word hari means what?Is this statement of theirs not filled withshirk. and i tell you to find out from someone who knows the abjad hooz and you will see their lies.
Another thing where in the quote you gave is it mentioned to write 786 in place of bismillaah?
Mufti sir i wanted to know is the kafeel system followed in middle east is haraam or halaal. My wife is invloved in it and she is getting paid only because her name is used by few individuals for doing business. She has no property or maoney involved in the business.
Wa alaykumus Salam
If you are referring to the issue of someone being a nominee whereby you utilise his/her name to attain a property or a business, then there are conditions. Is she being given a percentage in the profits or is she paid a wage? I need to know this before answering.

My question is that if someone thinks about comitting adultery in their mind, ( and they know they will never commit it), and get pleasure by thinking that thought then is it a Gunah??
Because I read once that thinking about a haram act is not a gunah but only performing a haram act is a gunah.
So if someone thinks about doing haram while getting pleasure from it then is it a Gunah or not.
Wa Alaykumus Salaam
If one thinks of sin and stops his thoughts then he will be rewarded for his effort of refraining from sin. On the other hand if one knows he will not be able to carry out the sin so he starts fantasizing about doing the sin then he will be sinning because of his intention and lust behind the sin.

I belong to Pakistan. and on the occasion of Eid here New Currencey Notes are sold out in the market for the profit of Rs. 250. Like if we have to purchase new notes of Rs. 100 in 100 quantity then they sell it for Rs. 10,500/- so they are actually charge Rs. 500 extra for this.
Is this Halaal for me to give Rs. 500/- to get new Currency Notes as I heard that Moulana Yousuf Ludhanvi has said that Notes should be replaced wiht notes there should be no less or more.
However from Banks we can get it with no extra charges but its very hectic in a sense that you have to wait for long hours which I want to avoid.
Please furnish answer if such profit is Halaal for the seller and it is OK for me to buy them?

Giving and taking of interest is forbidden in islam and totally haaraam. This is not only the saying of my late ustaadh , Shaheed mufti yusuf ludhyaanwi rahimahullah but the statement of our Rasulullaah salalaahu alayhi wa sallam who mentioned thatany deal in gold or silver(of which modern money is a replacement) has to be equal and spontaneous. Therefore to give the amount will be haraam.

Working in an Institution that has is major income from interest is not permissible.
This question is about Sadaqat-ul-Fitr as per hanafi ruling..
I forwarded an article of Mufti Taqi Usmani[db] with regards to hanafi ruling that Sadaqt-ul-fitr is about 1.75 KG of wheat or equivalent.
One of my salafi friend as usual argued with me that- It is clearly mention in the hadith of Bhukari as one sa–as per measurement it comes across 2.5 or 3 kg, How does hanafi fiqh derives the ruling of 1.75 kg of wheat?
[Sahih Bukhari : **Volume 2, **Book 25 **Zakat ul Fitr, Number 579] Narrated Ibn Umar (Radi Allah Anhu) Allah’s Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) enjoined the payment of one Sa’ of dates or one Sa’ of barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr on every Muslim slave or free, male or female, young or old, and he ordered that it be paid before the people went out to offer the ‘Id prayer.
Mufti sahib could you please provide some evidences from Hadith to support the hanafi ruling..
JazakAllah and Wassalaam

Firstly and formostly most of the ahaadeeth mention barlet dates etc and wheat is not added to the one saa’ mentioned. The hadeeth that mentions@qomh@ or @hinta@ mentions nisf which menas half a sa’. These ahaadeeth are to be found in tirmidhi , abu dawood, nasaai,etc.It is mentioned in abu dawood and nasaai that sayyidina ibn Abbas radhiyallahu anhumma on the last day of ramadhaan mentioned to the people that they should take out the sadaqah of their fast which Rasulullaah salalaahu alayhi wasallam had made compulsory on us , that is a sa’ from dates and barley and half a sa’ from wheat on behalf of every free or slave male and female, big or small.It is also narrated that Sayyidina muaawiyah radhiyallahu anhu mentioned that wheat is half sa’ because it is double the price of barley.Therefore the verdict of the ahnaf is that only half a sa’ of wheat is to be given.

Could you please tell me if credit insurance is permitted?
This is a bank charging you per transaction you make in terms of invoicing your customers but insuring the risk. So if the bank takes responsibility of say £x thousand and the customer doesnt pay you, the bank will pay you.

Normally, for any sickness related to Jinn, Sihir or evil eye, people are advised to recite verses contained in Manzil and blow it our water.
The Raqi’s or amils ask the victims to drink as well as add the recited water to bathing water and take a bath with it.Generally, raqi’s advise the people to collect the water after bathing and through it out on the ground or on road but not in the drain to avoid the disrespect of the recited or the holy water.The above solution of bathing with recited water is not-practical, as it becomes difficult to collect the recited water after bathing.
My question is, can we directly bath with the recited water in bathroom/toilets and allowing it to flow in the drain? Is it really disrespect to the holy water if it flows into the drain after bathing?
Could you please provide some references from hadith or books of fiqh if any, to support the correct ruling?
Thanks in advance.

This is a matter of respect and honouring the qur’aan which is Kalaamullaah.Preferrably we should rather wipe the body like one is applying cream with th qur’aan water which will save us from having the water mix with najaasat.Similarily our ulema teach us that we should put a cover over the qur’aan and when we wash it do not throw the water down the drainas respect to that which touches the qur’aan.
Although it might be permissible to let the water floe down the drain but it shows lack of adab and respect.In other words this Hukm is amr istihbaabi.

I am working as HR Manager in a US based firm and I have to place my employees on different job positions abroad and in local. Quite often I have to add some extra experience in their Bio data (CV) which they don’t have in actual. I do this so as to give good impression to my clients of my employees / consultants. Once Consultants / employees get a project / contract then they perform well.
Is it ok to change/add some experience in Bio-Data (CV) that matches client requirements but in actual my employees / consultants do not have them. It is one of my responsibilities as HR Manager.

The book kitaabul aathaar which is the narrations of the students of Imaam abu haniefa Rahimahullah which they have heard from him. There is the book of imaam Muhammed bin hassan ra and also a seperate book of imaam abu yusuf RA. These books contain various qoutes besides ahaadeeth like the statements of the sahaabah radhiyallahu anhum and the senior ta bi’een as well. The book is well accepted and even the like of Hafez ibn Hajar Alasqalaani has made a Takhreej of the Narrators and called it al ee thaar . Imam nawawi, Suyuti rahimahumullaah all mention it in their books as well. Unfortunately the enemies of the ahnaaf refuse to accept it and deny it being from abu haniefah rahimahullaah.
1. What is the hanafi ruling regarding the usage of such items which we are unaware of their origin and potentially could be made from pig?

It is our duty to make sure that we consume halaal. the onus lies with us and the sin is upon us.Remember the consumption of haraam nullifies all our du’aas.If one used these products in ignorance of their content then he should seek repentence.Ignorance is no excuse.
2. If any animal falls in a salt pan and changes into salt then the salt will be correct for consumption even if the animal be a haraam animal. That is because its origin is totally dissolved. In the case that you mention it does not complete the requirements of total dissolving where its origin is not recognisable. Also remember that that taking any benefit from swine is forbidden. Here one is benefitting from it therefore not permissible.

Is ALLAH not the most powerful and most great? definitely HIS Atrributes will also have that awe andgreatness in it.
Actually the sifaat of ALLAH are of two types
1. Jalaali
2. Jamaali.
The sifaat of jalaali depicts power and strength and has the same effect.Whereas the sifaat of jamaal depicts mercy and kindness and has the same effect.
The sifat of Mumeet has the quality of decreasing Ghaflat and Shahwat (carnal desires and unmindfulness).
the meaning of the wazeefaa is

Thanks and Wassalaam Wa alaykumus Salaam
Firstly the words of the hadeeth is “showm” which means bad effect.
Rasulullaah salallaahu alayhi wa sallam has mentioned that there is no contagious disease , nor any bad omens in islam.” (muslim)
The belief that anything has the power of harm or benefit besides ALLAH . Fortune and misfortune both are from ALLAH.
The above hadeeth mentios the word sowm which can also be translated as fatality. In other words we would rather translate it as, ” if there were any misfortune then it would be found in houses. women and horses.” as they normally say ,” his wife or lover was the cause of his downfall”.
Wallaahu lam bith thawaab.
Using the same science of numbers i.e ilmul aadad people have come up with the concept of ‘786’, some scholars of Deoband also believe that numerical value of ‘Bismillah’ is 786, that is to say that ilmul adad is an ancient practice and is also supported by many scholars. You can read ‘Virtues and Laws Pertaining to Bismillah’ By Mufti Muhammad Shafi’ ‘Uthmani . My question is about ‘ilm ul aadad’ i.e the science of numbers.
1. Is this science jayaz/ permissible to study and learn?
2. Some people who are pious muslims (they even pray Tahjjud) perform ‘istakara’ using ‘ilmul aadad’, can we seek advices from them? As we seek advices from our elders before doing any thing.
3. And using the same ‘ilmul adad’, people tell whether the sickness is caused by jinn, magic, evil eye or medical reasons? So can we seek their advices?
They also belief that none have the knowledge of unseen except Allah, and they claim that using this science they only approximate things that Allah has already predestined.
Please advice !
JazakAllah and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Salaam
1. The system of counting the value of the letters is known as the abjad hooz system.This is used to bring about a numerical value to a word or name. Normally many have given permissibility for the usage of 786 in place of the basmala because the basmala is a portion of the quraan, i.e. surah naml.
2. As for istikhaaraa and usage of ilmul adad, i find it totally wrong as istikhaaraah is a means of seeking ALLAH’S help and it method has been taught to us by Rasulullaah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. We therefore stick to his teachings in it than use any such method which he did not do. A simple usool: when there is nass then there is no place for qiyaas.
3.The usage of the ilmul adad to find out a persons condition is something i personnally disagree with. If a person does proper studies in the line of removal of jinn effect and one knows about it then he will have sufficient experience to be able to know from certain issues if it is jinn or not.Remember that Rasulullaah saaws have forbidden us from visiting so called fortune tellers as our salaah and ibaadah will not be accepted for forty days.
Wallahu a’lam bith thawaab
Yesterday, I spoke with one sheikh who knows ‘ilmul Adad’ and ‘ilmul nujum’ and he is very pious at the same time.
I spoke to him about the hadith, the same hadith that you quoted about 40 days of worship will not be accepted. He said there is a huge difference between the ‘astrologers’ and us, they beliefs are filled with kufur and shirk, they belief that certain starts, planets, stones or amulets have powers to change the destiny, their rituals are filled with shirk on the contrary we believe that its ‘Allah who grant success and failure’ we believe that every thing that happens is from Allah…etc. This is a science that even existed and was at the peaks during the times of our Prophet[SAW] then why didn’t he prohibit this science of ‘ilmul Adad’ and ‘ilmul nujum’.
We can see simillar kind of Istakarah done on Q-TV.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Wa Alaykumus Salaam
Whoever told you this is only trying to fool you and is spreading lies against our Beloved Rasool Salalahu alayhi wa sallam.It comes clear in a narration that is found in sunan Abu dawood, iibn Majah and nyusnad Imam Ahmed wherein Abu hurairah Radhiyallaahu anhu mentions that he heard Rasulullaah Salallaahu alayhi Wasallam saying,” whosoever takes knowledge from the stars has taken knowledge of sihr.As he increases (his knowledge) such does he increase (in sihr).”
What has to be nderstood is that predicting anything from the future is in itself not permissible because none knows what will happen in the future except for ALLAH.Where is it possible that a person uses these knoledge and give verdict of things being good or bad in the future and claim it permissible?
Assalamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
Hope you are doing well by the grace of Allah !!
Please let me know the meaning of this hadith:
Abu Dawud narrated that Anas ibn Malik said: A man said: “O Messenger of Allah, we were in a house and our numbers and wealth were great, then we moved to another house where our numbers and wealth decreased.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Leave it, it is bad.”
1. Could a house cause loss to a person or his family?
2. Or the Jinns in the house cause loss to the person?
3. Are we suppose to leave the house when we have such problems?
JazakAllah and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Salam
To understand the hadeeth , one has to understand the circumstances of the hadeeth. Here a person comes complaining of changing houses and suffering loss.There was fear of the person’s aqeedah being effected by the occurrence. Therefore Rasulullaah Salalaahu alayhi wa sallam informed him that it would be better to leave it because it outwardly caused loss. To explain it in a manner we might comprehend it is the scenario of a person selling his business and buying another one. The new business causes him loss and He immediately sells up and returns to his old shop and he recovers from his loss.ALLAH TA AALAA mentions in the qur’aan in surah baqarah, “Many a time we love something but it turns out to be bad for us and many a time we dislike something and it turns out to be good for us.’ In light of this Ayah i hope you understand this hadeeth.
I have questions on ‘Wasila’ using names of Allah.
1. Could you please provide me references from Hadith to prove this kind of Wasila i.e using names of Allah, I need to provide it to my friends.
2. Can we recite- YA MOMEETO BE HAQQE YA MOMEETO?
3. Does the use of Wasila make our dua / amal more acceptable or successful ?
JazakAllah and wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Salam
Wasla with the Asmaaul husnaa were used by the Sahaabah Radhiyallaahu anhum ajmaeen.There are many such examples to be found in the books of ahaadeeth. If you look under the chapter of the benefits of Asmaaul husnaa in mishkaat you will see numerous names that have been mentioned during du’aa by the Sahaabh r.a and Rasulullaah salalahu alayhi wa sallam mentioning that the Sahaabi has used The Great name of ALLAH by which if asked HE will grant and if du’a made with it HE will accept.
Therefore to use it in our du’aas strengthens it and causes its acceptance.
As salaam alai Kum,
Mufti sb iam working in private company and i travel outside my country.My company gives me some money for my expenses and i save money from the money given by my company,Is it Haraam ?
Jazak allah
Firoz
وعليكم السلام
باسمه تعالى
The company sends you out on its behalf and hence it allows you to spend on travel and personal expenses from the company. Therefore, the money which is saved after all expenses during the journey should be given back as it belongs to the company. (Badae’ussanai’, Kitabul-Muzarabh, 06:105, 107) However, if the company gives the remaining money back to you as gift, it is permissible for you to take it.
والله اعلم
N.B. The above-mentioned answer should be regarded concerning the case when no specific travel allowance is agreed up. But if a specific travel expenses is agreed up and stipulated by the company for the employee whether he spends it or not or spends more or less than that fixed allowance, it is permissible for the employee to take the remaining allowance for himself.

I am working as an HR & Recruitment Manager at Karachi, Pakistan with a USA based Information Technology Company. One of my job responsibilities is to recruit Software Engineers for USA including males and females both. Can I place or apply for female software engineers on various jobs/projects in the USA & is the commission or salary generated by it Halal for me?
Please reply in the light of Shariah.

Dear Brother in Islaam, the question needs more clarification specially the part ‘female software engineers’ requires more elaboration. Therefore, we request you re-post the question explaining all the aspects in details.

Dear Mohtaram Mufti Sahib,
Assalam o Alaikum Warahmatullha
Here’s revised and updated version of my question as per your concern.
I am working as an HR & Recruitment Manager at Karachi, Pakistan with a USA based Information Technology Company. One of my job responsibilities is to recruit/hire Software Engineers for USA including males and females both. My question is that can I hire / recruit software engineer or computer engineer with female gender and apply them for jobs in USA and finally place them on projects. Can I talk to them on phone for this purpose.
Is the salary or commission generated out of this responsibility Halaal for me in Shariah.
وعليكم السلام
باسمه تعالى
Hiring female software engineers leads to committing two major sins, communicating with opposite sex without an extreme necessity and becoming a means of sins by hiring them for the project where they will intermingle with opposite sex. “Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa; but do not help one another in sin and transgression.” (Suratul Maidah5:2) Therefore, it is not permissible for you to hire female software engineers.
As far as the salary is concerned, recruitment of female software engineers is not the only responsibility that you have been assigned but it is included in responsibilities. Therefore, the salary generated out this HR and Recruitment Manger Job is Halaal provided the other responsibilities are in with the Islaamic Shariah and the main businesses of the company is based on Halaal sources. (Extracted from Al-Fatawaa Al-Hindiyyah, Fil-Hadayaa)

My wife entered Islam not long ago, and she is working hard to become a good Muslima. In fact, she’s learning many things, and also to wear the hijab, she has not ever had any problems. The problem is there for her work.
She also wants to wear hijab at work it, but unfortunately she can not because her work is very sensitive and very particular, in a particular area of the State..in a European country that is not Muslim. In her field her employer would not accept at all, for the tasks she performs, she wears hijab. She would has many disciplinary problems, or even expulsion or dismissal. How to solve this problem so that she will not fall in haram? She is very sad and worried for this reason!
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hijaab is a religious obligation which can not be overlooked or neglected because of obedience to the creature. Imaam Bukhari and Muslim رحمهما الله تعالىhave recorded that the Nabee of Allaah is reported to have said, “…no obedience for evil deeds, obedience is required only in what is good.” (Agreed upon)
Therefore, it is allowed for her to work in such a company where she is not permitted to observe Shar’ee Hijaab. She may ask Allaah and look for such work, if really needed where she can observe Shar’ee Hijbaab as Allaah has taken the responsibility to provide every creature with sustenance. “And no moving creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah. And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit. All is in a Clear Book”. (Surah Hood 11:06)

Dear Mufti Sahib,
Assalam o Alaikum
I have been suffering from Vitiligo disease since last 4 years. It has badly affected by body until now including my hair. A small portion of my hair got white from head back side which is easily noticed by viewers.
Can I dye them black so they match the original hair.
Jazakallaho Khaira
وعليكم السلام
باسمه تعالى
Dyeing hair with pure black colour which resembles the original blackness of the hair and gives the impression of being young is forbidden for both man and woman beside the Mujahideen because of the prohibition and severe warning narrated from the beloved Nabee of Allaahﷺ.
Imaam Muslimرحمه الله تعالى has recorded in his Saheeh Muslim on the authority of Sayyedinaa Jaabirرضى الله عنه that when Sayyedianaa Abu-Quhafahرضى الله عنه embraced Islaam at the conquest of Makkah and was taken to the Nabee of Allaahﷺ, he ﷺasked him to dye his white hair but at the same time prohibited him from using black dye. Imaam Abu Dawood and Nasaiرحمها الله تعالى have recorded that the Nabee of Allaahﷺ said, “There will be people at the end of time who will dye their hair black like the crops of pigeons; they will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise.”
However, dyeing hair with read and yellow colour is permitted for both genders rather recommend. Imaam Ahmad رحمه الله تعالىhas recorded in Musnad Ahmad on the authority of Sayyedianaa Abu Umamah رضى الله تعال عنهthat the Nabee of Allaahﷺ passed by a group of white-bearded Ansaries. He said: – “Dye your beards with red or yellow dye. Expose your disparateness with the people of the book, Jews and Christians as they are not inclined to apply hair dye.”
Therefore, dyeing hair with any other colour beside pure black is permissible. Using back dye is forbidden for both sexes.

Subject: Permissibility of using taweez[amulets] made from Quran.
I read ‘Remedies from the holy Quran’ writted by Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi, I many places he permits the use of a taweez, the concept of which is declared as Unlawfull by most of the scholores. Can you please proved the hadith that confirms the permissibility of using taweez for treatment.
JazakAllah
Ruhul
Wa alaykumus Salaam wa rahmatullaah
If you have a goos look in the introduction of the book under discussion you will se that Mujaddidul millaah moulana thanwi rahimahullah has clearly mentioned proofs of the using of taweezat that consists of Qur’aani aataar.If the taweez contains any non qur aani subject matter or non ahadeeth matter than even moulana thawi nawarallaahu marqadahu has forbidden it. The original issue is to make ruqya which is fully saabit from ahaadeeth. Many people, infact most of the masses . cannot read qur’aan properly nowadays.Even eloquent arabic speaking people who never studied qur aan cannot read it properly.(this i talk from experience) For their ease qur aanic aayat are written and given as taweez to wear. Proof for this is found in the lives of the sahaabah radhiyallahu anhum who did so for their young children who were unable to read (abdullah bin amr bin alaas radhiyaalhu anhumma naraates that he was given a so called taweez containing quranic ayaat to wear).Many so called ulema that claims to be the majority have even made ruqya haraam whilst it is clearly proven from the sihaah sitta and from the life of our beloved messenger of ALLAH salallaahu alayhi wasallam.Most of this is mentioned in amaliyyaat quraani

Assamulaikum,
JazakAllah for your reply. But I still have a few questions of this subject. When we give proofs on the usage of taweez to such people who declare them as Haram, they say that the victim starts build trust and faith of the taweez and that leads to shirk and further more, they put up the following questions to us:
1.If we wear taweez around our neck, or put in wallet, we will bring Quranic verses into toilets, right ? Is that ok to bring Quranic verses into toilets ? It this not disrespecting the Quranic verses?
2.Is it ok to wear quranic taweez when one is unclean [state of Janabha or Menses] ? It this not disrespecting the Quranic verses?
3.If we put taweez under the pillow, what happens if we sleep on the taweez or we step on the taweez. Is it ok if we step on Quranic pages?
4.If we have a bookstore selling Quran, does all the Quran will protect us ? people have several copies of Quran at home but still there affected by Jinn and Shir? Then how will you justify this.
5.If the victims start building trust and faith in these taweez, or fall into to hands of false alims who use shirk, who is responsible for their misguidance ? the scholars who recommend them or the victim you is totally unaware?
6.Why did Peophet[SA] never had a taweez for himself? And why did he not recommend this to Ahela Baith? And why do even muslime who know Quran have taweez around their necks?
How do we answer such questions? And also does repentance become obligatory from a person who calls Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi[RA] a magician nauzbillah because he wrote a book ‘Remedies from Holy Quran’ that uses taweez.
JazakAllah

Wa alaykumus Salaam
1. If a qur’aan is wrapped in a cloth will it be permissible to touch it over the cloth , even for a woman in her menses? The answer for this suffices for your question. As for the toilet issue every aamil will request that it be remoced before entering the toilet.
2. The women in menses is not reading the qur’aanic verses, so? Nor is she tpuching it directly!! To touch the qur’aan covered in a sheet is permissible. Nowadays the same group who clims that taweez is shirk and bring forward these questions will say it is good and encouraged to put qur’aans in hotle rooms so that the kuffar casn read it , whether in menses or not.
3. Putting of taweez under the pillow, from what i know will not contain qur’aanic verses.Even when putting i under they will tell you to remove it in the morning and keep it safely.
4. The word qur’aan means to recite. the mushaf is for reciting not an ornament nor a decoration, like many homes have. In the taweez are specific aayaat like ayatul kursi etc which are known as aayaat of hirs and protection.Normally those who cannot read properly are given these verses in written form to help and protect them . Qur’aan is kalaamullaah how can it be a form of shirk when it (the meaning of the words) is a sifat of ALLAH?
5.To place trust in the verses of the qur’aan shirk?? Astaghfirullaah!!!
Yes to go to a person involed in shirki aamaliyaat is a major sin. People go mostly on their own or are directed by others. Both are sinful.
6. The Nabi of ALLAH encouraged reading the aayaat for protection. HE would read and blow on the people , which you will find in the narrations of hadeeth.The qur’aan was revealed as a cure to our ailments both spiritual as well as physical. In the the qur’aan in surah Israa verse no 8 it is mentioned :-
{ وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلاَ يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ إَلاَّ خَسَاراً }
And We reveal of (min [here] is explicative) the Qur’ān that which is a cure, , and a mercy for believers, thereby; though it only increases the evildoers, the disbelievers, in loss, because of their disbelief in it.
As i mentioned that if you go into the history of the ahlulbait you will find that on the small children the used taaweez.
as for the issue of huffaz using taweez it is because many aamils have made this their income and fear to give the auraad of people thereby giving them the taweez containing those verses. Also many out of laziness rather prefer wearing the taweez instaed of reading the veses themselves. Therefore many only find temporary relief and after a while the problem recurrs.
One very important issue which i also feel disrespect is that the person wearing a taweez nd is involved in kabaair while wearing the taweez. I have seen a person driving around in his fancy car and the music is at deafening level. How will it be a means of protection when we show disrespect to the commands of ALLAH. tO ATTRACT allah’s attention and mercy we need to please allah and follow his commands. The level of permissibility is abused by some and therefore these doubts come about.Many a time he condition of permissibility are broken by the users and such causes many douvts on the actual permissibility.

JazakAllah for your reply, I also have few more questions:
1. Does repentance become obligatory from a person who calls Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi[RA] a magician nauzbillah because he wrote a book ‘Remedies from Holy Quran’ that uses taweez.
2. Can we recite Quran and convey its virtues to our deseased[dead muslims]? if so could you please provide some refrences from QUran and Hadith so that I could convey this to my friends who reject this concept.
3. Some question regarding Qasar[namaz during travelling]:
a. Should only 2 rakats be offered during magrib.
b. Can sunnath be offered when Qasar becomes applicable.
c. When we are praying behind an Imam, who is praying 4 rakhats and we join the salat after 2 rakhats, should that be sufficient for a person on whom Qasar is applicable.
d. A person in Qasar who gets the first two rakhats should break his prayer after salaam in Jamath even thought the imam continues with teh next rakhat, right ?
4. I have heard that the place where the body of our Prophet[SA] rests subhanallah is more pure and holier than Mecca, Medina, Arsh and Kursi this is the Ijmah of all scholors have confirmed this. Can we support our claims through Quran and hadith.
5. Can we mentione the name of our Prophet[SA] during dua as a wasila. Is there any ahadith to support this concept apart from the one which mentions that hazrath Adam[AS] did it, people disregard this hadith saying that its weak/za-eef .
Thanks in advance. May ALlah subhanahu wa tala reward you and your entire team in both the worlds.Ameen. JazakAllah Khair.

2.

وقد ذكر جماعة منهم الشيخ أبو نصر بن الصباغ في كتابه ” الشامل ” الحكاية المشهورة عن العتبي، قال: كنت جالساً عند قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فجاء أعرابي فقال: السلام عليك يا رسول الله، سمعت الله يقول: { وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوۤاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَآءُوكَ فَٱسْتَغْفَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَّحِيماً } وقد جئتك مستغفراً لذنبي، مستشفعاً بك إلى ربي. ثم أنشأ يقول:يا خَيْرَ مَنْ دُفِنَتْ بِالقاعِ أَعْظُمُهُ فَطابَ مِنْ طِيْبِهِنَّ القاعُ والأَكَمُ

Assalamulaikum Mufti Sahab,
One powerful wird/wazifa was given to me, it is said that this wird MashaAllah could be used as a means for protection and cure against Blackmagic and evil Jinn and is suppose to be very effective to banish and neutralize all evils and blackmagic. As per my limited understanding any incantation that doesn’t contain any shirk is permissible in Islam, so I wanted to validate this wazifa before forwarding it to others. The wazifa is as below:
BE HAQ E YA JIBRAEEL YA MIEKA’EEL YA ISRAFEEL YA IZRAEEL WA BA HAQ E RAHMATIKA YA ARHAMARA HEMEEN
بِحَقِ یَا جِبۡرَایلَ یَا میکَا یلَ
یَا اِسرَا فیلَ یَا عِزۡرَا یلَ وَ بِحَقِ رَحۡمَتِکَ یَا اَرۡحَمَ
الرٰ حِمِیۡنَ
Please let me know its meaning and whether it would lead to shirk if it’s recited. And also whether it could be recited by removing the word YA and adding WA as below to avoid shirk.
BE HAQ E JIBRAEEL WA MIEKA’EEL WA ISRAFEEL WA IZRAEEL WA BA HAQ E RAHMATIKA YA ARHAMARA HEMEEN
Thanks in Advance. JazakAllah Khair.

Wa alaykumus Salaam warahmtullaah
i think it would be better if you read it bihaqqin ya jibraail would be permissible.
In its original form too the wird does not show any form of shirk. It only seeks help from the four angels through the mercy of ALLAH. hAQ REFERS TO ALLAH.

Assalaamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
JazakALlah khira for your previous reply. I have a few more questions:
1. I still have some clarification on Qasar…for magrib should the person pray 3 or only 2 rakhats?
2.During salaat due to some reason if we recite surah fataha incorrectly and we realize this after the next surah, can we recite surah fataha again..is it ok if we recite surah fataha after the zam surah due to some reasons.
3.During our fardh salat can we repeat any surah twice or thrice.
4.During the sajdha of fardh salaat after the tasbi, can we do some dua?
5.What is the complete meaning of BE HAQ E YA JIBRAEEL YA MIEKA’EEL YA ISRAFEEL YA IZRAEEL WA BA HAQ E RAHMATIKA YA ARHAMARA HEMEEN. to be more specific what is the meaning of BE HAQ E and BA HA
Wa alaykumus Salaam
1.Three raka aats will be read for qasr as there is no half rakaat.
2.If the error is of a minor then the salaah will be in tact. The repeating of the sura is not necessary .
3.If one is munfarid then it will be allowed. (i.e. reading salaah alone). Repitition is permissible as long as it does not cause inconvenience to the mqtadis(those following the imaam)
4. Same answer as no 3
5.the meaning is as follows :- by the Right (of ALLAH) oh jibraeel , oh mikaaeel,oh izraeel, oh israfeel and by the right of your mercy ,OH ALL MERCIFUL of those who show mercy’
there is no difference between ba and bee as baa is a mispronunciation of bee in arabic. In urdu there is a difference.

Assalaamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
Is it permissible for muslims to subjugate Jinn and use them for beneficial purposes like to find our if the person is affected by blackmagic or for healing purposes or to know the location of the missing person.
If your answer is yes, then please provide references from Hadith to prove this, so that I can forward this to my friends and also have any sahaba[RA] used jinn for any beneficial purposes.
JazakALlah Khair in advance.
Wa alaykumus Salaam
sorry for the delay in answer. Muftu shihab is on vacation and i have to answer alone.
Anyway to subjugate jinn is something not permissible as they are the creation of ALLAH.For any person to take another as captive whilst he is a free being is haraam in shariah. Those who do so will be responsible in the aakhirah.
However if a person befriends a jinn and he helps him in such matters ut will be permissible. We should remember that sayyidina sulaiman alayhis Salaam took work from the jinn as mentioned in the qur’aan. Also there are many ahaadeeth that mention them coming and discussing with rasulullaah salalaahu alayhi wa sallam
In surah saba verse 12 and 13 ALLAH mentions how the jinn had made for sulaiman various things and sulaiman a.s. was ask to be grateful for it.
( ومن الجن من يعمل بين يديه بإذن ربه ومن يزغ منهم عن أمرنا نذقه من عذاب السَّعير – يعملون له ما يشاء من مَّحاريب وتماثيل وجفانٍ كالجواب وقدورٍ رَّاسِيَاتٍ) [ سبأ : 12-13 ] .
and (We gave him) certain of the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And such of them as deviated from Our command, them We caused to taste the punishment of flaming Fire.
[34:13]
They made for him what he willed: synagogues and statues, basins like wells and boilers built into the ground. Give thanks, O House of David! Few of My bondmen are thankful.
Further more there are many ahadeeth about muslim jinn and there entrance into the house and what to do. In fact Imaam Maalik and imaam Ahmad were of the opnion that marraige between jinn and ins was also permissible.(however imaam maalik mentioned that he discourages it otherwise pregnant women from zina will claim that their husbands are jinn).
Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned in his majmoo3ul fattaawaa (19/39) that marraige between jinn and human is something knwn , even them having offspring.
When such relationships are permiossible then friendship and seeking help from them is permissible too, as long as it is in the confines of shariah.

I want to cook a daig from a professional Cook and have it eaten by poor people as I made a mannat that if all my worries gone I will cook a daig. Now since I have not mentioned in my Mannat that how much people will i feed. Normally a daig is of 50 persons.
can I feed around 30 people from this daig and remaining I separate for myself and my relatives? Or do i have to dedicate the whole daig to poor people and should make a separate arrangements for relatives? Please reply.
ASSALAAMU ALAYKUM
As you stipulated that you will cook a daig to feed the poor, it will be necessary to feed whatever is cooked in a daig.If you wish to split it then it has to be cooked in two seperate pots.The one to fulfill the mannat and the other tof eed your family.

I made up the the arabic version of the following Darood “O Allah! Bestow complete blessings and perfect peace on Sayyidina Muhammad and his Family according to the number of things in Your Knowledge”.
Please validate and let me know which arabic version is correct:
(1)ALLAHUMMA SALLI SALAATAN KAAMILATAN WA SALLIM SALAAMAN TAAMMAN ‘ALAA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI SAYYIDINA WA MAULANA MUHAMMADIN ‘ADADA KULLA MA’LOOMIN-LAK
or
(2)ALLAHUMMA SALLI SALAATAN KAAMILATAN WA SALLIM SALAAMAN TAAMMAN ‘ALAA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI SAYYIDINA WA MAULANA MUHAMMADIN ‘ADADA MAA FEE IL-MIL LAAH
Reciting ‘ADADA KULLA MA’LOOMIN-LAK or ‘ADADA MAA FEE IL-MIL LAAH is more correct.
JazakAllah.
Wa alaykumus Salaam
Both versions are incorrect. The proper will be adada maaloomaaatik.

ASSALAAMU ALAYKUM,
Is it permissible to recite Durood Tunjeena, does it contains words of SHIRK, the meaning is a mentioned below:
“O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our Master, and his Family such blessings by means of which Thou may relieve us of all anxieties and calamities. Thou may satisfy all our needs. Thou may clean us of all evils and thanks for which Thou may grant us high position and high rank and status in Thy presence, and Thou may lead us to the utmost limit of our aspirations and capacity in whatever is best in this world as well as in the world Hereafter, as Thou has the full Power over everything”.
The complete Durood can be found at the below site:
http://www.yanabi.com/forum/Topic235515-4-1.aspx#bm235538
JazakAllah
wa alaykumus Salaam
The durood tunjeena is a durood encouraged by oyr mashaaikh and is totally free of shirk and kufr. It has tawasul bil amal which is permissible and proven from the incident of the three people caught in the cave and they used the wasila of their good aamaal to get themselves out of the cave.

ASSALAAMU ALAYKUM,
Is it permissible to recite ‘ASTAGHFIRULLAAHI RABBI WA ‘ATOOBU ‘ILAYHI ‘ADADA MAA FEE IL-MIL LAAH
I think the meaning of which is “I seek forgiveness from Allah my Rabb and I turn to Him in Repentance equal to the count of things in HIS/Allah’s Knowledge”
JazakAllah
Wa alaykumusSalaam
Istighfaar is linked to sins committed in the past.Therefore asking for forgiveness is based on ones past deeds. Therefore it would be better to read
astaghfirullaah rabbi wa atoobu ilayhi min kulli zhambiw wa khati’ah.
Looking at the Du’aa you suggested actually does not make sense as everything is within the knowledge of ALLAH and nothing is unknown to him.Outwardly it seems the du’aa claims that there is a possibility that some issues are not known to ALLAH and therefore this du’aa will not be permissible.

ASSALAAMU ALAYKUM,
Mufti Sahab I wanted to know which verse is mentioned in the below hadith that is equivalent to a thousand verses. My guess was that this verse should be the same and should appear in all the surah mentioned below. However, I didn’t find any common verse that occurs in all the below surah’s, so I think may be its a verse that contains a common name of Allah accross these surah.
Please advice.
JazakAllah.
Irbaadh bin Saariyah (R.A.) narrates that the Prophet (S.A.W.) used to recite the Musabbihaat, i.e. Surah Hadeed, Surah Hashar, Surah Saff, Surah Jumu’ah and Surah Taghaabun before sleeping and he stated that: “Indeed amongst them is a verse that is more virtuous than a thousand verses. (Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi)
Rausullaah Saaws ordered us to read the whole surah and personally did not mention the specific aayah. We therefore do not concern ourselves about the aayah but rather do what sayyidul kounain salalaahu alayhi wa sallam had ordered us.

Can you also provide appropriate references to support the same .

it will ne permissible to use those words in your du’aa. When waseelaa of out aamaal is permissible unanimously thenwhy not asking through the barakah of his Attributes and his Quraan. We find in the hadeeth that the person who completes a khatm of the qur’aan that we are told to read:-
ALLAHUMMAR HAMNI BIL QUR’AAN
which means “OH ALLAH bless me through the means of the qur’aan.
Also it will be more appropriate to change the words of bihaqe with bibarakati.

Assalaamualaikum,
Mufti Sahab the question is about reciting “Naad-e-Ali”. Some time back I had a conversation with a Barelvi alim, he suggested that the best wizafa for all your needs is to recite ‘Naad-e-ALi’ abundantly and this has been tried and tested by several people before. I told that this wizafa contains words of shirk and such words of praises were never used by any of the pious-predecessors, he told me that this is not shirk as we only belief that its only Allah that fulfill our needs and that Prophet[SA] used these words to call Hazrat Ali during battle of Kybar. In my limitied knowledge “Naad-e-ali” is made permissible by the Shia’s and the Barelvi’s and not the Ahele-sunnah-wal-Jamath. Please let me know if there is a hadith in which Prophet[SA] recited ‘naad-e-ali’ and whether it can be recited with intentions that its only Allah who provides the help and also how do people receive benefits by reciting this if it contains words of shirk.
WA ALAYKUMUS sALAAM
SORRY FOR DELAY IN ANSWERING.
Naadae ai is known to have words of shirk in it and if Rasulullaah salallaahu alayhi wasallam used it why is it that none of the famous great scholars of islam ever mentioned it.
If you are referring to this false lies of the filthy shia
At the battle at the Fort of Khyber, Hazrat Ali had stayed behind, and when the Muslims were losing hopelessly, Prophet Muhammad called for the help of Hazrat Ali in his prayer to Allah. Ya Ali Bilutfika Adrikani! O Ali, come to my help by Thy Favor! Hazrat Ali came riding and to the rescue of his team; he held the door of the fort across the moat, miraculously, with one arm, until all the Muslims had crossed over. This resulted in victory for the Muslims.
then i i ask you to read any seerah book and see what the aahadeeth say about the battle of khyber. Another thin that is disturbing is that Rasulullaah saaws would seek help from ghairullaah and was disressed??
Jazakallah and Wassalaam.

i reside in USA and i deal in perfumes,1st of all i wud like to know is it permissible in islam to use perfumes that have some quantity of alcohol in it and secondly can the fragrances be used during ramadan.
I have one other concern that is i see some counter fitted items that are available as well,can they be sold to a customer if you show them the same product as in the box but ypu dont tell them any further details,though the prices are low i dont wanna assume that customer knows what they getting,what does islam says regarding this issue
Kindly guide me in this regard even if its been discussed earlier,
thx
Wa alykumus Salaam
Alcohol based perfumes are permissile to use as they evaporate and leave no stain. However it would be preferrable to use non-alccoholic perfumes which is the sunnah and practise of Rasululaah salllaahu alayhi wa sallam.
2. As for selling something that is concieled in a container and the customer asks for it then itwill be permissible to sell it to him like that. However to put him at ease it will be advisable to open and show it to him.

Assalamualaikum,
Mufti Sahab, usually while performing salat in Jamath at my office, the Barelvi people come forward and lead the prayers. The problem with them is that they do not fold their pants and pray with their trousers falling below their anklets. When I talk to them on this topic they say they are correct, but mashallah, I have read the maslah that praying with trousers below the ankle will not only invalidate the salat but one should also perform wadhu again. My question is whether I should pray salat independently at office or in Jamath when (1) A berelvi is leading the prayer and he is intentionally lowering his pant/trouser below his ankle and he does not fold it (2) if any person is leading the prayer and his pant is below his ankle or is not folded correctly above his ankle.
Please advise, as I’ am confused about the right approach I should take !!
JazakAllah and Wassalaam,
Ruhul
Wa alaykumus Salaam
Firstly i wish to clarify that keeping your trouser below your ankles does not invalidate wudhu. Your wudhu will be intact but you are under direct curse of ALLAH and HIS RAsool saaws.
I personally will advise you to perform your salaah with jamat and also try and lead the prayers yourself or encourage others with saheehul aqeedah to do so. The problem lays with them who refuse to read behind us and feel that their salaah will be invalid. Remember the imaam is responsible and bears all responsibilities.(tirmidhi). Also take heed that salaah is permissible behind aan open sinner if elected as imaam.

Assalamulaikum,
Mufti Sahab I wanted to know the validity of the below ahadith, could you let me know whether they are acceptable and have any scholors of Deoband commented on them ?
Hadith 1: Imam At-Tabraani quotes a Hadith Shareef in which the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaiyhi Wa Sallam) declares, “There will always exist 40 persons on the Earth, each of whom is blessed like Hazrat Ebrahim (Alayhis Salaam). It rains because of their Barakah. Allah appoints another when one of them dies.”
Hadith 2: Abu Na’eem reports that the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaiyhi Wa Sallam) said, “There always exist 40 persons among my Ummah. Their hearts are like that of Hazrat Ebrahim (Alayhis Salaam). Allah Ta’ala redeems His human servants from disasters for their sake. They are called Abdaal. They do not attain to that degree by performing Salaah, fasting, or giving Zakaat.”
JazakALlah and WasSalaam
The ahaadeeth about the abdaals are wellknown and also mentioned in the saheeh books of hadeeth.The issue of the abaadila are mentioned in ahaadeeth and mullaah ali alqaari in mirqaat the sharh of mishkaat has given details about them.Hafiz ibn hajar asqalaani in fathulbaari has also mentioned them.Many of our ulema e deoband have written about them especially moulana thanvi rahimahullaah and the likes.Some of the ahaadeeth do have wekness but there are many ahaadeeth that are saheeh and therefore the belief about them is regarded as haq by the ahlus sunnah wajamah

Mufti Sahab since we don’t have a good provision for Wadhu at office, what we normally do is, we make Wadhu in the wash basin and latter we wash our feet in the toilets. Some, people say’s that wadhu in toilets is against sunnah and is not recommended, its therefore preferable to wipe over the feet at the wash basin rather than washing the feet in toilets. Mufti Sahab, please confirm the below:
(1)Will the wadhu be valid if feets are washed in the toilet, in such a way that our feet remain clean after washing ?
(2)Will wadhu be valid if any one wipes over the feet with water, rather than washing them ?
(3)Is wadhu or Ghusul in bathroom that have toilets permissible or is it against sunnah? and will it effect the rewards of the wadhu or ghusal in anyway, as nowdays, in every home the washrooms have toilets.
Please give a detailed explaination so that I can share this with my collegues !!
Thanks in Advance !!
JazakAllah and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus salaam
Washing of the feet is fardh in wudhu in accordance to all mazhaahib. When using khuffs(leather or it equivalent) then to make masah wil lbe permissible.To wipe over nylon socks,etc is wrong and not permissible.
Strangely i would like to know what prevents us from washing our feet in the basin by raising it up??
To wash it in the toilet will be permissible but not preferrable.However no masnoon duaas can be read whilst washing in the toilet.

1. Our non-believing, colleagues sarcastically look at people when they are doing this, we have managers, clients and top officials at office.
2. This is also creating problems to the maintenance people and other colleagues at the office, as people spill water on the floor and make the floor slippery.

Assalamualaikum,
One of my friend forwarded an article “Virtues and Laws Pertaining to Bismillah” written by Mufti Muhammad Shafi’ ‘Uthmani
The salafies as usual criticized the following points:
==========================
For intelligence and memory:
Recite it 786 times, blow in water and drink this water at the time of sunrise. Intelligence will be increased and the memory will be improved.
For increase in affection:
Recite it 786 times, blow in water and give that person to drink whose affection is required. That persons love and affection for one will be increased. It is forbidden to use this for illicit love.
==========================
They say that using or writing of 786 is Bidah and its usage should be discouraged. I know that this is an ancient practice of some of the uelema mainly for the purpose of avoiding disrespect to the holy words, but then how can we answer the concept of 786 in the light of Quran and Hadith..
And also some other salafies say that 786 is equal to hari-rama-hari-krishna…
Please advice !!
JazakALlah !!
Take care and WasSalaam.
WA ALAYKUMUS SALAM
Actually the numerical system of the arabic alphabets are known as the abjad hooz. It is a system that was practiced in the time of Rasulullaah salalaahu alayhi wa sallam.
Another thing is a mumin and muslim’s wont go to hari krisna etc unless he is involved in shirk nd kufr. It seems their minds are warped and filled with such thoughts.another thing is the word hari means what?Is this statement of theirs not filled withshirk. and i tell you to find out from someone who knows the abjad hooz and you will see their lies.
Another thing where in the quote you gave is it mentioned to write 786 in place of bismillaah?

My question is that if someone thinks about comitting adultery in their mind, ( and they know they will never commit it), and get pleasure by thinking that thought then is it a Gunah??
Because I read once that thinking about a haram act is not a gunah but only performing a haram act is a gunah.
So if someone thinks about doing haram while getting pleasure from it then is it a Gunah or not.
Wa Alaykumus Salaam
If one thinks of sin and stops his thoughts then he will be rewarded for his effort of refraining from sin. On the other hand if one knows he will not be able to carry out the sin so he starts fantasizing about doing the sin then he will be sinning because of his intention and lust behind the sin.

I belong to Pakistan. and on the occasion of Eid here New Currencey Notes are sold out in the market for the profit of Rs. 250. Like if we have to purchase new notes of Rs. 100 in 100 quantity then they sell it for Rs. 10,500/- so they are actually charge Rs. 500 extra for this.
Is this Halaal for me to give Rs. 500/- to get new Currency Notes as I heard that Moulana Yousuf Ludhanvi has said that Notes should be replaced wiht notes there should be no less or more.
However from Banks we can get it with no extra charges but its very hectic in a sense that you have to wait for long hours which I want to avoid.
Please furnish answer if such profit is Halaal for the seller and it is OK for me to buy them?

Giving and taking of interest is forbidden in islam and totally haaraam. This is not only the saying of my late ustaadh , Shaheed mufti yusuf ludhyaanwi rahimahullah but the statement of our Rasulullaah salalaahu alayhi wa sallam who mentioned thatany deal in gold or silver(of which modern money is a replacement) has to be equal and spontaneous.

This question is about Sadaqat-ul-Fitr as per hanafi ruling..
I forwarded an article of Mufti Taqi Usmani[db] with regards to hanafi ruling that Sadaqt-ul-fitr is about 1.75 KG of wheat or equivalent.
One of my salafi friend as usual argued with me that- It is clearly mention in the hadith of Bhukari as one sa–as per measurement it comes across 2.5 or 3 kg, How does hanafi fiqh derives the ruling of 1.75 kg of wheat?
[Sahih Bukhari : **Volume 2, **Book 25 **Zakat ul Fitr, Number 579] Narrated Ibn Umar (Radi Allah Anhu) Allah’s Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) enjoined the payment of one Sa’ of dates or one Sa’ of barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr on every Muslim slave or free, male or female, young or old, and he ordered that it be paid before the people went out to offer the ‘Id prayer.
Mufti sahib could you please provide some evidences from Hadith to support the hanafi ruling..
JazakAllah and Wassalaam

Firstly and formostly most of the ahaadeeth mention barlet dates etc and wheat is not added to the one saa’ mentioned. The hadeeth that mentions@qomh@ or @hinta@ mentions nisf which menas half a sa’. These ahaadeeth are to be found in tirmidhi , abu dawood, nasaai,etc.It is mentioned in abu dawood and nasaai that sayyidina ibn Abbas radhiyallahu anhumma on the last day of ramadhaan mentioned to the people that they should take out the sadaqah of their fast which Rasulullaah salalaahu alayhi wasallam had made compulsory on us , that is a sa’ from dates and barley and half a sa’ from wheat on behalf of every free or slave male and female, big or small.It is also narrated that Sayyidina muaawiyah radhiyallahu anhu mentioned that wheat is half sa’ because it is double the price of barley.Therefore the verdict of the ahnaf is that only half a sa’ of wheat is to be given.

Assalamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
Normally, for any sickness related to Jinn, Sihir or evil eye, people are advised to recite verses contained in Manzil and blow it our water.
The Raqi’s or amils ask the victims to drink as well as add the recited water to bathing water and take a bath with it.Generally, raqi’s advise the people to collect the water after bathing and through it out on the ground or on road but not in the drain to avoid the disrespect of the recited or the holy water.The above solution of bathing with recited water is not-practical, as it becomes difficult to collect the recited water after bathing.
My question is, can we directly bath with the recited water in bathroom/toilets and allowing it to flow in the drain? Is it really disrespect to the holy water if it flows into the drain after bathing?
Could you please provide some references from hadith or books of fiqh if any, to support the correct ruling?
Thanks in advance.
Wa alaykumus Salaam
This is a matter of respect and honouring the qur’aan which is Kalaamullaah.Preferrably we should rather wipe the body like one is applying cream with th qur’aan water which will save us from having the water mix with najaasat.Similarily our ulema teach us that we should put a cover over the qur’aan and when we wash it do not throw the water down the drainas respect to that which touches the qur’aan.
Although it might be permissible to let the water floe down the drain but it shows lack of adab and respect.In other words this Hukm is amr istihbaabi.

I am working as HR Manager in a US based firm and I have to place my employees on different job positions abroad and in local. Quite often I have to add some extra experience in their Bio data (CV) which they don’t have in actual. I do this so as to give good impression to my clients of my employees / consultants. Once Consultants / employees get a project / contract then they perform well.
Is it ok to change/add some experience in Bio-Data (CV) that matches client requirements but in actual my employees / consultants do not have them. It is one of my responsibilities as HR Manager.

Oral sex is despicable, disgusting aand filthy act. How can a person think of even doing such an act which only people with low morals encourage.The tongue is the organ for the dhikr of ALLAH and to be used in such an act????

Assalamualaikum Mufit Sahab,
These days because of the difficulties of finding muslims with sound Islamic beliefs and practices, is it permissible for a “hanfi girl” to get married to “salafi boy”?
My friend has actually asked this question, even thought I explained to him that its permissible, he is asking for some proofs.
JazakALlah and Wassalaam
Ruhul.
Wa alaykumus salaam
If the so called “salafi brother” is ok with the following of mathaahib and does not make takfeer of those who oppose their views then it will be permissible. However if he makes takfeer then how is it possible to marry someone who calls you kaafir???

Assalamualaikum Mufit Sahab,
There was an allegation made by my friend that many books of Deoband contain baseless stories that dead people advising and helping the living have no basis in Islam.
I know we could proof that dead are alive and hear us by the will of Allah, but then do we have evidences from hadith that dead could help the living with the will of Allah.
Thanks and Wassalaam

All details are gathered in the book kitabur ruh of Ibn qayyim rrahimahullaah.

Assalamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
My question is about the book “KITAB al-ATHAR” of Imam Abu Hanifah, we know it’s a book of hadith written by Imam-e-Azam. But then, why is this book not included among the “sahi-sitta”, when muwatta of Imam Malik and books of Fuqaha that came after Imam-e-Azam are used and referenced by scholars, what’s the reason why this books isn’t popular compared to the others?
Is this less authentic compared to books of Sahi Sitta ? What do scholars and Fuqaha around the world say about this book?
JazakALlah and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Slaam
The book kitaabul aathaar which is the narrations of the students of Imaam abu haniefa Rahimahullah which they have heard from him. There is the book of imaam Muhammed bin hassan ra and also a seperate book of imaam abu yusuf RA. These books contain various qoutes besides ahaadeeth like the statements of the sahaabah radhiyallahu anhum and the senior ta bi’een as well. The book is well accepted and even the like of Hafez ibn Hajar Alasqalaani has made a Takhreej of the Narrators and called it al ee thaar . Imam nawawi, Suyuti rahimahumullaah all mention it in their books as well. Unfortunately the enemies of the ahnaaf refuse to accept it and deny it being from abu haniefah rahimahullaah.

Assalamualaikum,
Mufti Sahab please read this article “News Report that over 180 items are made from PIG remains”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete…hings-pig.html
I have these questions
1. What is the hanafi ruling regarding the usage of such items which we are unaware of their origin and potentially could be made from pig?
2. Even though the product is from PIG remains when it is synthized completely into a different product is it lawful to use? like grape juice–> wine —>vineger
JazakaAllah and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Salaam
It is our duty to make sure that we consume halaal. the onus lies with us and the sin is upon us.Remember the consumption of haraam nullifies all our du’aas.If one used these products in ignorance of their content then he should seek repentence.Ignorance is no excuse.
2. If any animal falls in a salt pan and changes into salt then the salt will be correct for consumption even if the animal be a haraam animal. That is because its origin is totally dissolved. In the case that you mention it does not complete the requirements of total dissolving where its origin is not recognisable. Also remember that that taking any benefit from swine is forbidden. Here one is benefitting from it therefore not permissible.

Do you know of any spiritual benefits of reciting Allah’s name YA MOMEETO and does the recitation of Allah names excessively cause any harm to are weak body. I have heard from one person that some of Allah’s names are really powerful and if recited more than the limit it will make us weak causing –headaches, slight fever and weakness. Is it true ?
And please provide me the meaning of these wazifa:
1. ALLAHU YA MOMEETO
2. YA MOMEETO JAL-LA JA-LA-LA-HU
3. YA BADEEUL AJAAIBE BIL KHAIRI YA BADEEO
Thanks in advance!!
وعليكم السلام
Is ALLAH not the most powerful and most great? definitely HIS Atrributes will also have that awe andgreatness in it.
Actually the sifaat of ALLAH are of two types
1. Jalaali
2. Jamaali.
The sifaat of jalaali depicts power and strength and has the same effect.Whereas the sifaat of jamaal depicts mercy and kindness and has the same effect.
The sifat of Mumeet has the quality of decreasing Ghaflat and Shahwat (carnal desires and unmindfulness).
the meaning of the wazeefaa is
OH ALLAH OH GRANTER OF DEATH
OH GRANTER OF DEATH MAY YOUR LORDSHIP REMAIN LOFTY
OH DESIGNOR OF ALL STRANGE THINGS WITH GOODNESS OH DESSIGNOR OF ALL THINGS.

Assalamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
Please explain the meaning of this hadith:
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Bad luck can be found in houses, women and horses.”
Do we belive in BAD LUCK or BAD OWMEN !!
Thanks and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Salaam
Firstly the words of the hadeeth is “showm” which means bad effect.
Rasulullaah salallaahu alayhi wa sallam has mentioned that there is no contagious disease , nor any bad omens in islam.” (muslim)
The belief that anything has the power of harm or benefit besides ALLAH . Fortune and misfortune both are from ALLAH.
The above hadeeth mentios the word sowm which can also be translated as fatality. In other words we would rather translate it as, ” if there were any misfortune then it would be found in houses. women and horses.” as they normally say ,” his wife or lover was the cause of his downfall”.

Assalamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
Using the same science of numbers i.e ilmul aadad people have come up with the concept of ‘786’, some scholars of Deoband also believe that numerical value of ‘Bismillah’ is 786, that is to say that ilmul adad is an ancient practice and is also supported by many scholars. You can read ‘Virtues and Laws Pertaining to Bismillah’ By Mufti Muhammad Shafi’ ‘Uthmani . My question is about ‘ilm ul aadad’ i.e the science of numbers.
1. Is this science jayaz/ permissible to study and learn?
2. Some people who are pious muslims (they even pray Tahjjud) perform ‘istakara’ using ‘ilmul aadad’, can we seek advices from them? As we seek advices from our elders before doing any thing.
3. And using the same ‘ilmul adad’, people tell whether the sickness is caused by jinn, magic, evil eye or medical reasons? So can we seek their advices?
They also belief that none have the knowledge of unseen except Allah, and they claim that using this science they only approximate things that Allah has already predestined.
Please advice !
JazakAllah and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Salaam
1. The system of counting the value of the letters is known as the abjad hooz system.This is used to bring about a numerical value to a word or name. Normally many have given permissibility for the usage of 786 in place of the basmala because the basmala is a portion of the quraan, i.e. surah naml.
2. As for istikhaaraa and usage of ilmul adad, i find it totally wrong as istikhaaraah is a means of seeking ALLAH’S help and it method has been taught to us by Rasulullaah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. We therefore stick to his teachings in it than use any such method which he did not do. A simple usool: when there is nass then there is no place for qiyaas.
3.The usage of the ilmul adad to find out a persons condition is something i personnally disagree with. If a person does proper studies in the line of removal of jinn effect and one knows about it then he will have sufficient experience to be able to know from certain issues if it is jinn or not.Remember that Rasulullaah saaws have forbidden us from visiting so called fortune tellers as our salaah and ibaadah will not be accepted for forty days.

JazakAllah for the explination mufti sahab.
Please check this fatwa
http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=649&CATE=115
Yesterday, I spoke with one sheikh who knows ‘ilmul Adad’ and ‘ilmul nujum’ and he is very pious at the same time.
I spoke to him about the hadith, the same hadith that you quoted about 40 days of worship will not be accepted. He said there is a huge difference between the ‘astrologers’ and us, they beliefs are filled with kufur and shirk, they belief that certain starts, planets, stones or amulets have powers to change the destiny, their rituals are filled with shirk on the contrary we believe that its ‘Allah who grant success and failure’ we believe that every thing that happens is from Allah…etc. This is a science that even existed and was at the peaks during the times of our Prophet[SAW] then why didn’t he prohibit this science of ‘ilmul Adad’ and ‘ilmul nujum’.
We can see simillar kind of Istakarah done on Q-TV.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Wa Alaykumus Salaam
Whoever told you this is only trying to fool you and is spreading lies against our Beloved Rasool Salalahu alayhi wa sallam.It comes clear in a narration that is found in sunan Abu dawood, iibn Majah and nyusnad Imam Ahmed wherein Abu hurairah Radhiyallaahu anhu mentions that he heard Rasulullaah Salallaahu alayhi Wasallam saying,” whosoever takes knowledge from the stars has taken knowledge of sihr.As he increases (his knowledge) such does he increase (in sihr).”
What has to be nderstood is that predicting anything from the future is in itself not permissible because none knows what will happen in the future except for ALLAH.Where is it possible that a person uses these knoledge and give verdict of things being good or bad in the future and claim it permissible?
Thanks in advance !

Assalamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
Hope you are doing well by the grace of Allah !!
Please let me know the meaning of this hadith:
Abu Dawud narrated that Anas ibn Malik said: A man said: “O Messenger of Allah, we were in a house and our numbers and wealth were great, then we moved to another house where our numbers and wealth decreased.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Leave it, it is bad.”
1. Could a house cause loss to a person or his family?
2. Or the Jinns in the house cause loss to the person?
3. Are we suppose to leave the house when we have such problems?
JazakAllah and Wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Salam
To understand the hadeeth , one has to understand the circumstances of the hadeeth. Here a person comes complaining of changing houses and suffering loss.There was fear of the person’s aqeedah being effected by the occurrence. Therefore Rasulullaah Salalaahu alayhi wa sallam informed him that it would be better to leave it because it outwardly caused loss. To explain it in a manner we might comprehend it is the scenario of a person selling his business and buying another one. The new business causes him loss and He immediately sells up and returns to his old shop and he recovers from his loss.ALLAH TA AALAA mentions in the qur’aan in surah baqarah, “Many a time we love something but it turns out to be bad for us and many a time we dislike something and it turns out to be good for us.’ In light of this Ayah i hope you understand this hadeeth.

Assalamualaikum Mufti Sahab,
I have questions on ‘Wasila’ using names of Allah.
1. Could you please provide me references from Hadith to prove this kind of Wasila i.e using names of Allah, I need to provide it to my friends.
2. Can we recite- YA MOMEETO BE HAQQE YA MOMEETO?
3. Does the use of Wasila make our dua / amal more acceptable or successful ?
JazakAllah and wassalaam
Wa alaykumus Salam
Wasla with the Asmaaul husnaa were used by the Sahaabah Radhiyallaahu anhum ajmaeen.There are many such examples to be found in the books of ahaadeeth. If you look under the chapter of the benefits of Asmaaul husnaa in mishkaat you will see numerous names that have been mentioned during du’aa by the Sahaabh r.a and Rasulullaah salalahu alayhi wa sallam mentioning that the Sahaabi has used The Great name of ALLAH by which if asked HE will grant and if du’a made with it HE will accept.
Therefore to use it in our du’aas strengthens it and causes its acceptance.
