Thinks that disobeying her mother made her ill
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. On my last visit to Makkah, I got very sick. I feel that it was due to the cold water that I drank. My mother had told me to drink the 'not cold' one. However, she agreed that I drink the cold one in front of me, but I feel that it was not the same inside, and when I apologised after getting.. More

Seeking forgiveness from looking at women
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah wa barakaatuhu. I remember that I did haram by looking at girls or causing attraction, and may Allaah forgive me.

Doing voluntary acts of worship is not an obligation
Assalaamu alaykum. With regard to every good act and/or act of worship, I notice that there are levels, one higher than the other. For example, while there is a reward for saying, 'Assalaamu alaykum', there is a greater reward in adding, 'wa rahmatullaah', and even a greater reward in adding, 'wa barakaatuhu', to it. The same goes for praying, wearing.. More

Writing list of sins to make repentance in Du'aa'
Assalaamu alaykum. Please spread your knowledge. For repentance, I sometimes have a lot of things that I want to repent from, so I write my repentance down, and then I read it off in my supplication. Is this an innovation, or is it acceptable? Also, what is the proper pronunciation of he Shahaadah (testimony of faith). Are we supposed to say Muhammadur.. More

Rewarding oneself for doing good deed
Assalaamu alaykum. I want to do a certain optional worship daily, but I find it difficult to do that, so to motivate myself, I reward myself. For example, I say to myself, if I do this good deed today, then I will eat such-and-such delicious food in such-and-such restaurant. Is that okay?

Taking extra money from bank cashier by mistake
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Dear Scholars, how are you? May Allaah reward you for your good deeds. My question today is the following: Several years ago (about six or seven), when I was a university student, somebody sent me some money through the bank.

Muslims commanded to conceal their sins
If a person commits a sin and attempts to hide his sins lest Allaah expose them, is he a Kafir given that he does so trying to stop Allaah from doing some thing i.e he believes that he can do so? And, secondly, if after receiving news that someone has become Muslim, if someone says, "I do not care," what is the ruling on him? I have asked the same question.. More

Making up missed voluntary good deeds
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I want to know about the following:
1- If one gives Sadaqah (charity money) or saves Sadaqah everyday but out of forgetfulness does not do it, can the person make up for the previous day?
2- If one feeds birds and he happens to forget it one day, can he give them more food the next day instead?
3-.. More

Whether Allaah would forgive one who kills believer deliberately
Assalaamu alaykum. Allaah says that He will forgive everyone but not the people who do Shirk (polytheism) so what about the below hadith that I am referring to.

Pursuing sinful means to get work
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is about the legality of getting employed by means other than formal requirements. Here in Ethiopia, most of the time, individuals get valuable government jobs by means of kinship, political background, or something similar. Even if there are formal vacancies, one should use an informal method in order to succeed. Some.. More

Asalamu alaykum wa ramatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. For the past year and a half, I have been performing an evil deed, a deed so evil that I am thankful that Allaah has hidden it from the people, as I am a well-respected community leader. I have been hiring escorts despite being seen and respected by other Muslims. I have a concern. I want to quit doing.. More

Difference between Tawbah and Istighfaar
Assalaamu alaykum. What is the difference between Istighfaar(seeking forgiveness) and Tawbah(repentance)? I read somewhere that both words may be used interchangeably to mean either of the two. So how do we know when Tawbah means Istighfaar or when it means Tawbah in the Quran or hadiths? Please, I am confused. Also, are we certain that Allaah will.. More
