‘Is maher forgiven’

Q: Brother Imaam,

May Allah protect you and keep you in his peace.

I have a question, I have been married to my husband since 6 years. and I have two wonderful kids. Thanks to Allah. it was my love marriage. before getting married i was helping my parents in financial way. but when i was about to get married i was told by my husband that i am not supposed to help my parents as you will not be working and my husband doesn’t like money relations. i agreed on his points.
but after few years i started to work in a good airline, but my salary used to be in husbands hand. my maher was 7000 dhirham, my husband paid my loan , on which he said now you dont have any maher on me as i have paid your loan.

Brother Imaam , my question , Is  maher is forgiven to my husband as he paid my loan. secondly, now again i am not working, but my husband is not giving me a single dollar to spend . if by chance i need money then i have to go through such a long questions. is Islam allow a man to do such things ? where do i stand as i dont ask him any more ? Im sure all your questions are from Islamic point of view.

I pray that Allah give you a good health and reward you for all your single efforts which you are doing for sake of Allah and Islam.

Ameen

Relationship with Parents (Part I of III)

(Reflect upon this series of articles as we prepare for the blessed month of Ramadan)

By: Ali Ibrahim

?????? ?????  ????? ???? ??????? my dear respected brothers, sisters, and elders in Islam. All of us in our daily and busy lives need help and support from our fellow Muslim brethren. Is it any wonder then that the people that we spend the most of our time with are our friends and the people that we spend the least amount of time with are our family? Siblings spend more time together than with their mothers and fathers so the older folks in our respective families get the boot when it comes to spending quality time, giving the full respect and love that they deserve, and treating them better than our own friends, our own spouses, and even our own kids.

if you have a skill, we can help you with make it better

Q/Request:

??? ???? ?????? ??????

?????? ????? ????? ???? ???????
Hope this email finds all of you in the best of health and Imaan insha’Allah.
2 things:
I was wondering if on a consistent basis, once a week/month, etc. I would be able to write an article on a given issue and have it posted online on IIA? I’d like to build up my writing skills and this was one way I thought I could do it.
Attached is one example…it’s a long one and the Imam suggested that I divide it up into different parts but take a look at if any of you (admin) can and let me know what you think…if you like it then I can work on dividing it up into smaller parts.
Second thing,
I’m managing a wordpress account and I’m curious how the Imam Hajjar al-Haytami post is always on top…I’m trying to do that with something else (have it always on top) but haven’t been able to.
Any pointers any of you can give me on the above 2 things would be greatly appreciated.
Jazakullah Khayr for all your hard work, may Allah accept. Ameen.

i am all dolled-up for strangers too see

Q: What is y our opinion of a bride to sit on stage and show her face for men and woman to see? The father walks her in? She is to look attractive for all the guests. This is our new custom. Never was seen back home in my country.  My sister is to get married inshaAllah in about four months so Imaam you can take your time. Your comments would be appreciated…..

hijab has many levals

Question from comment box:

Asalaamu alaikum,
Jazakallah khair for posting this article, as it is something I always wondered about. I appreciate it very much, but the biological truth is that a woman can only produce milk after she has given birth… what can be done if the woman has not recently given birth but would like to adopt? And if you have the information or hadiths on what the Prophet (peace be upon him) did in the case of his adopted son being around women in the family, please let me know. I am sorry if you are unable to answer my questions, but I would truly love to adopt children someday and would like to know more. Jazakallah khair for your time. Continue Reading →
