Sisters
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.
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.
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.
Prayer
Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi’i explains that women may attend the mosque for Tarawih, but they must be without makeup and perfume. The Prophet ﷺ permitted women to go to the mosque only if they are unadorned and not attractive to others.
Current Affairs
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.
