Marriage
A question is asked about the proper method of giving mandatory spending to a wife, such as whether it should be paid weekly. Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān explains that it depends on the agreement between the husband and wife, provided she is satisfied with the arrangement.
Marriage
A man asked Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan if he could abort his wife’s early pregnancy because he plans to divorce her. The Shaykh explains that abortion is not allowed, as the child is a blessing from Allah ﷻ and may benefit both parents in the future.
Marriage
Marriage should be based on both beauty and religion. Beauty is natural and needed, but not extreme beauty that distracts from life and worship. The real lasting beauty is good character, manners, and fulfilling responsibilities, not just looks or a perfect image.
Parents and Children
If a mother cuts off contact, the child should persist in trying to reconnect, pray for her, and maintain filial duty. Parents have immense rights, especially when Muslim. The child should avoid resentment, act with patience, and continue to seek reconciliation through good deeds and charity.
Parents and Children
Buying children’s clothing with pictures is permissible when the intention is simply to purchase clothes, especially given the scarcity of picture-free garments. However, Muslims should strive to avoid such items when possible, and sellers should avoid stocking them to prevent falling into doubt.
Women and Ḥijāb
If wearing the niqāb causes serious hardship or abuse, it may be permissible to uncover the face while maintaining full Islamic dress. The woman should consider emigrating if possible. Removing the veil entirely is forbidden, and she should remain at home unless there is an absolute necessity.
Marriage
Shaykh Ibn Bāz clarifies that a wife may not seek divorce without a valid reason. Legitimate reasons include harm, neglect, sinful behavior, or inability to fulfill marital duties. If the husband abandons prayer, separation becomes obligatory until he repents.
Women and Ḥijāb
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān reassures Muslim sisters who spend much of Ramadan cooking that they are rewarded for preparing food for those who are fasting. He emphasises that cooking does not prevent them from remembering Allah ﷻ, reciting Qurʾān, or engaging in dhikr, and encourages balanced worship.
Parents and Children
Shaykh Ubayd al-Jabiri explains that a mother threatening suicide if her son does not shave his beard is making a false threat. The son should not obey her demand, as this is not a valid reason to abandon the Sunnah.
Women and Ḥijāb
Shaykh Ibn Baz states that a woman may work even if she does not need money, as long as the work is permissible, honorable, free from mixing with men, and she observes proper hijab. She may earn for charity or to increase her wealth.
Marriage
Shaykh Sulaymān al-Ruhaylī explains that marriage made with the intention of divorce is not permissible. It either becomes a temporary marriage or deceit, harming the woman and violating Islamic ethics. He emphasizes that such intentions contradict the honor and justice Islam commands.
Marriage
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi explains that there is nothing wrong in a woman marrying a man who is already married. It is permissible for a woman to marry a man with one, two, or three wives, and she should not avoid him for that reason.
