It is Mustahaab-recommended according to Hanif School of thought to recite Masnoon Du’aas in Qaumah-standing position after Ruku’ and Jalsah-sitting position between two Sajdahes. But these Du’aas are not recommended in congregational Salaah because of the weak and sick people who attend the Jamaat.

Nikaah over the phone.!!!

As salaam walekum,
Iam very depressed with the way my husband is treating me. Our marriage occurred over the phone as I live in Australia and he lives in Pakistan We used to be friends and then we got married. Before getting married my husband used to spend a lot of time with and even after he did, the i found out all the lies he had hidden from me and I fought with him, I help him in any financial problem he has and what ever he ever needs I do my best to give it to him but after the argument he distant himself from me, he stopped e-mailing me, or sending me sms or even calling me and when i used to call him he used to disconnect my phone and not talk to me at all, when i became very sick my sister sent him an sms and he said i have told fiza to not contact me but after a few weeks later everything went ok, but he still doesn’t give me time or his love even though we are so far away. He has started a new business so he spends more time there and he has no time for me especially in weekends when before we used to talk to each other whole night long. He has a full time job and his business and i also have a full time job so during weekdays we talk via e-mails but in weekends its zero contact as if i don’t exist. I have helped him in everyway possible, financially especially and when i want to talk to him i have to ask for his permission if i can call him. Because of the way he is behaving with me iam on anti depressant and iam very depressed. I have constantly said to him that I don’t want anything from you but your time, your love and the relationship which husband and wife have, I have constantly sent him numerous presents and cards just so he doesn’t feel iam not there with him but I guess it all means nothing. My parents have both been deceased so my sisters advise me that if he doesn’t give you time while he is in Pakistan he doesn’t care or show you love then imagine what will happen when he comes to Australia Iam very depressed and I humbly seek for your advise please help me in the name of Allah as feel myself very alone and unloved. I hope you would understand my problem and give me the best solution to my problem. Allah hafiz

Dear Sister in Islaam, before answering your question, it would be appropriate to explain that if the Nikaah occurred just over the phone without appointed some representative then the Nikaah is not valid. This is because, one of the conditions for the validity of Nikaah is the presence of Aaqid and Aaqidah-bridegroom and bride or his/her Wakeel-proxy at the place of Nikaah where the witnesses would listen to the Eijaab-proposal and Qubool-acceptance of the couple. This condition does not meet in the case of Nikaah over the phone.
Coming to your problem, if the Nikaah was performed according the Islaamic law then the problem will be solved as you get together, Inshaa Allaah.
والله اعلم

 

 

As Salaam walekum,
My nikaah did take place over the phone but there were representatives from his side not mine who heard me accepting him as my husband and the mufti made me read certain verses from the holy quran and then he asked me if I asked this man as my husband 3 times which I did but in saying so the 2 representatives who represented me were from my husbands side there was nobody from end who heard me accepting this man as my husband so now iam totally confused whether this man is my husband or not?
I hope you can find a solution to my problem sister and my Allah taala bless you with his grace with all the good work your doing in helping people like us to see the right path. Ameen

One of the conditions for the validity of Nikaah is the presence of Aaqid and Aaqidah-bridegroom and bride or his/her Wakeel-proxy at the place of Nikaah where the witnesses would listen to the Eijaab-proposal and Qubool-acceptance of the couple. This condition does not meet in the case of Nikaah over the phone. Therefore, Nikaah over the phone is not permissible.
However, if he had appointed someone as Wakeel-representative through phone or any other means of communication to propose or accept the conduct of Nikaah on his behalf and the representative played his role at the place of Nikaah in the presence of required witness then the Nikaah is valid. Otherwise, the Nikaah must be performed again with the normal procedure or through a proxy as stated in the answerer.

The Status of the beard in Islam.

Assalaamo alaikum,
Having beard and letting the beard grow is necessary or not, as it is also a sunnah. Is it a sin to shave the beard? and how much circumcision is necessary if somebody keeps himself clean and do ghusl properly and make istinzaa thoroughly clean? If having beard is a choice than having circumcision is choice or not?
Wa alaykumus Salaam
The keeping of the beard to the length of one fist is not a sunnah but rather it is waajib according to the hanafi math hab. To shorten it less than that is regarded as fisq and a person who does it will be deprived of the intercession of Rasulullaah Salallaahu alayhi wasallam. When the emmisaries of kisra came to Rasulullaah salallaahu alayhi wasallam with their big moustaches and shaved faces, Rasulillaah saaws refused to even look at them, though they were kuffar. How then of a muslim? Rasulullah salallaahu alayhi wasallam made it clear to them that” My lord has ordered me to lenghten my beard and trim my moustache”. Therefore to think the beard a choice is wrong.

As for circumcition it is a sunnah of all the ambiyaa A.S. and therefore regarded as a natural trait and an compulsory afct..

Yes the beard and circumcition are both the same but there is no choice for us in it.
Wallaahu a3lam.

 



Nikaah and consent.

Nikaah

Assalam-o-Alaikum
I want to know what Shariat says on this Nikkah issue.
There is a girl, when she was about 20 years old she was forced by her parents to get marry to her kith and kin. But she refused to marry with him many times. His brothers and sisters were also not willing her to marry him. But they could not dare to ask their father to stop this. But the girl wept many times before her mother that she does not want to marry with him at all. But her parents did not accept her wish.
One day when she came back from college she saw her relatives present in her house but no one told her that your Nikkah is about to held today with that man.
After some time, when she was sitting with her friends, her brother-in-law came to her with her other relatives with a page of Nikkah nama rolled in a news paper and ask her to sign here on this page. When she asked what is this all, he replied that just do sign on it as it is a matter of your father respect. She suspected and began to cry and wept but no one care for her and then she signs on that paper. As she finishes sign her brother-in-law announced that Nikkah has been performed now. On hearing this she became unconscious and fall down.
That girl wanted to marry with some one else.
After about 1-year since from this event (Rukhsati was not took place so far), she ran away with that man whom she wanted to be marry and performed Nikkah in court.

Now question is, was that Nikkah valid, that was performed by her brother-in-law in the absence of any Nikkah Registerar (Molvi Sb.) or this Nikkah is valid that was took place in the presence of Nikkah Registerar and witnesses in the court.

Waiting for your valuable words.

Kindly reply me via e-mail me.

On the statement being true, girl’s sign on the Nikaahnamah would be regarded her consent to perform the Nikaah with that boy Therefore, if he accepted that proposal verbally in the presence of two matured Muslim men or one man and two women then the Nikaah is valid and the second one is void. But if she ran away before the boy had accepted the proposal and got married to the one she wanted in the presence of the required witnesses in court and the man is of her match Islamicaly, then the second Nikaah is valid though the method was against the Sunnah and she would be sinful because of displeasing the parents especially if there was no Shar’ee reason to reject the decision they took.

Q2

Assalaamo alaikum,
Is it true for the girls to marry and have intercourse with the boys recently converted to islam but yet uncircumcised. Also after reaching the age of puberty if circumcision is not recommended than it shows that to live as a good muslim circumcision is not necessary or it is the matter of cleanliness only, than why restoration is regarded as bad activity or sinful act…..My reason behind asking the questions is to know more about islam and nothing more.
وعليكم السلام
باسمه تعالى
The Nikaah is valid if all the conditions of a valid Nikaah are met. As regard to the circumcision for converted, it is more important and necessary for him than the one born a Muslim. Therefore, a reversed must get circumcised in all condition except the case when he is too old to get circumcised.
Circumcision after the age of puberty is not recommended according to some Ulamaa because the covering of Satr is Fardh and circumcision is Sunnah. Hence Fardh can not be overlooked due to Sunnah. But circumcision has an aspect of medication as well and disclosing Satr for the medication is permitted. Therefore, circumcision after the age of puberty is also recommended.

Dream of ones boyfriend

Assalamulaikum Muhatarma, I really like someone and recently I had adream about him and if you can please interpret the dream: He came to my grand mothers’s house wearing ablack leather jacket to get me. We had to walk towards the gate , but we had to make sure no one sees us as we got out of the gate there were two paths , one that was straight and towards the right and the right path side my father and my grand father were standing there so I let him go through the stright trail and then followed him and was talking to by sitting on his motorcycle. Then after that all I remember was , I was happy to wait for him and was riding on abus thinking about this.

That is the end of my dream and also if you can interpret this sentence for me recently istkhara was done for thi rishtaa and it came out “Rishta Dareeana Hai Karnay ka Ishara Hai” Can you explain what it means please. SHUKRIYA
وعليكم السلام
Dear Sister in Islaam, this is the dream of imagination that you think in twenty four hours that how to get the boy, meet him and runaway. Dear Sister, you might have known that communicating and getting alone with opposite sex is strictly prohibited in Islaam. Therefore, a Muslim must believe in and practise what Alllaah and His Rasool have commended and stay from all which Allaah and Rasool have forbidden in order to be prosperous in both lives.
