Marriage
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that a marriage without a guardian (walī) is null and void. A valid marriage requires a walī, consent of both spouses, and two upright witnesses. Without these conditions, the marriage is not considered valid.
Marriage
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that a first wife cannot prevent her husband from marrying again nor can she make it a condition to be informed. The key requirement is justice, and the husband must treat all wives equally regardless of whether the first wife knows.
Women and Ḥijāb
Shaykh Ibn Baz states that it is permissible to use henna mixed with egg yolk or other natural ingredients for hair care, as long as it benefits the hair, such as strengthening, smoothing, or preventing hair loss. There is no harm in doing so.
Parents and Children
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains the duties of a child after their parents’ death. This includes making duʿā, seeking forgiveness, fulfilling their wills and debts, maintaining family ties, and honoring their friends—actions that continue to benefit the parents even after they have passed.
Marriage
Shaykh Muhammad al-Madkhali advises that if a student’s sexual desires increase and he cannot marry where he studies, he should return home, marry to protect his chastity, and then continue seeking knowledge later. Marriage becomes obligatory in such a situation.
Family Relations
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan advises that the best book to read to your family at home is Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn, as it contains beneficial sayings of the Prophet ﷺ. He also recommends reading teachings on prayer and ablution so the family becomes aware of these rulings.
Marriage
Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali advises that a husband should not leave his wife alone without support. He should either stay with her or take her to Madinah using the lawful procedures, with sincere intention and trust in Allah ﷻ.
Marriage
Shaykh al-ʿUthaymīn explains that the best enjoyment of this worldly life is a righteous wife. A good woman protects her husband’s honor, wealth, and children, and organizes the home. Seek a religious spouse, as she brings true lasting happiness and success.
Parents and Children
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan says it is not permissible to kiss the head of a parent who does not pray or only prays sometimes, because kissing expresses love. However, you must still treat them well in worldly matters, just without showing affectionate gestures like kissing.
Women and Ḥijāb
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that the Prophet ﷺ meant women should be safeguarded from oppression, neglect, and mistreatment. Their rights must be preserved, and they should be cared for responsibly, avoiding both abuse and abandonment, while maintaining balance, chastity, and family duties.
Marriage
If a suitor has good religion and character, he should not be rejected due to tribal or social status. The Prophet ﷺ made no such condition. If the guardian blocks a suitable marriage, the woman may complain to a judge, and the guardian may lose his authority.
Marriage
If the sister is a practicing Muslim, her guardian becomes the Muslim ruler or court judge. In non-Muslim countries, the head of the Islamic centre can act as her wali to marry her off, if she agrees.
