A husband purchased several lands and partnership shares of a firm using his own earnings. He legally registered all these assets in his wife's name during her lifetime. His intention for this registration was to ensure her financial security in case he passed away before her. However, the wife passed away while the husband is still alive. The husband now claims that since his specific intention (providing security after his death) can no longer be fulfilled, the gift is void, and he should be the sole owner of all those properties. The Heirs: The deceased woman is survived by: Her husband Two sons Two daughters Our Queries: Under Shariah (Hanafi Fiqh), once a husband gifts a property to his wife and completes the legal transfer, does it become her absolute property (Milk)? Is the husband's claim valid that the property should revert to him entirely because his "intention" was not met? Since the wife has passed away, how should these properties (now part of her estate) be distributed among the heirs mentioned above? Kindly provide a detailed ruling as this is an urgent matter causing disputes within the family.

Salam everyone. I’m a 29-year-old woman, having a stable career, but living at home with my parents. I’m reaching a breaking point and feel completely alone in this situation. I would be so grateful for any advice or to hear from anyone who has been through something similar. I love and respect my parents deeply, especially my mother, who has sacrificed a lot for me. However, her protectiveness has become overwhelming. The biggest conflict right now is about a potential marriage partner. I (29) have been speaking with a man (30) a while. We both like each other, are serious, have careers, and want to move forward in a halal manner in future. My mother, however, is adamantly opposed. Her own marriage has been unhappy for 33 years, and she projects her fears and experience onto me. She believes I am naïve and make hasty decisions. The specific issue is that she performed Istikharah regarding this man. Afterward, she had a bad dream, which she has interpreted as a divine sign that I will not have security with him. She takes this as a definitive answer from Allah and has told me to "get over him." She, along with my father, refuses to even meet him in person (as per my suggestion) to form a personal judgment based on evidence, (in addition to her Istikharah) sticking solely to her dream interpretation. I personally feel this is deeply unfair. I understand that dreams ALSO can be influenced by one's own fears and emotions. Me and her are very different in terms of personality. I have a positive outlook, seeing some potential in him and willing to give him a chance. Humans are not perfect after all. But my parent’s perspective says otherwise. I’m the one who will get married here so I’m very disappointed of the way they handle things especially when it comes to marriage (I know them very well that marriage is the most difficult topic to discuss and agreeing with them). How can I respectfully move past this impasse? Has anyone successfully navigated a similar situation with overprotective parents regarding marriage? What practical steps did you take? JazakAllah Khair for reading and for any guidance you can offer. Please make du'a for me.

asalamualaikum. i have a close person to me whose date of birth was mentioned 1 year younger by her parents . later on , at the age of 15, she changed it to one more year younger while looking at the dob of other classmates, she didn't know that it was a sin and is haram. she is very repentful about it and want to know that she is a doctor and the date of birth will not effect her normal work , but can affect her retirement age if she gets a government job , so if she pre-retires 2 years earlier, will her rest of the income be halal as it most likely is not dependent on her date of birth and will the rest of her income be halal which is independent of her dob ? jazakallah khair .

Assalamoalikum Till yesterday I was not aware of conditional divorce. Few days I ago I said to wife if you continue with abusive and vulgar language I will leave you. It was neither threat nor divorce. What I had decided that if she continue same I will send her message of divorce. And same message to few others as witnesses. But I was not certain if I will do on first instance or tolerate 2-3 times and then do it. Kindly clarify if is it conditional divorce or promise of divorce. Extremely confused.

I live in Florida and would visit theme parks for an outing with my husband, however I found out that the theme parks and resort support Israel by donating money to them a few years ago. Is it sinful for me to visit the amusement park?

I had a heated argument 10 years ago in which i said in extreme anger 'go to your parents house' to my wife, intent is uncertain due to how long it was but could be that i said the words due to anger. I cannot recall the amount of times this was said at the time or if other kinayah words were used. My question is; 1. Is this talaq e bain ? 2.if i uttered the same words or kinayah words multiple times in the argument would this be multiple talaq? 3.would i need to redo nikah?

It is stated that women should not go out of the house unless there is a need. However, the need referred to in the Hadith was to relieve themselves as there weren’t any inside toilets at that time! There’s also proof that women are allowed to go outside to visit the mosque! But apart from these two examples how do we know that women are allowed to go out to visit friends and family like female cousins even though these might not be considered needs? I read on one websites that women can go to visit their parents often but apart from that they can only go to meet other relatives once or twice a year as more than this is not a need. So if I want to go to visit my female cousins more often like twice or thrice a week, even if it isn’t a need, will this be allowed or will I be sinful for going out without a need?

As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I would like to ask about a situation that is causing me waswasah (intrusive thoughts). My wife was upset with me one day and said to me: “You don’t want to be a husband.” From her tone and the context, I think that she meant that I wasn’t acting emotionally or affectionately enough — not that she was questioning our marriage itself. I wanted to replied to her, “Of course I want to be a husband. But your always being so rude” What I meant in my heart was, “Of course I want to act like a good husband and be more emotionally expressive. But your always so rude so don’t want to be so emotional ” However, when I starting to say this this, i only said the words “of course” and not the rest of the sentence as I started to get waswasah. A few minutes later (around 5–15 minutes after), I clearly told her, “Of course I want to act like a husband,” to clarify what I had meant from the beginning. specific doubts came to my mind: 1. Because I am already her husband, I worried that some about to say “I want to be a husband” might somehow have a wrong or invalid meaning — as if it could affect the marriage. 2. I also got waswasah that when I said “Of course,” I might have been agreeing with her statement (“you don’t want to be a husband”) — even though I did not intend that at all. I just paused after the “of course” and didn’t say anything else as the waswasah was in my head. I meant to reassure her that I do want to be an emotional but she is rude so it’s hard to be emotional. 3-, I clearly told her, “Of course I want to act like a husband,” to clarify what I had meant from the beginning. And am also worried about me saying I wanna act like a husband as well. 4- I’m worried because my wife said in anger that she might is gonna marry have kids with someone else, and I replied out of annoyance, saying something like ‘They’d be ugly,’ without any intention or seriousness. Does replying to her hypothetical scenario like that affect our marriage in any way? 5- Hypothetically if a woman tells her husband she’s gonna divorce him then get him arrested and he replies that if she gets him arrested he will get her arrested. But doesn’t intend anything by saying that. He is scared as he is replying to the hypothetical scenario of divorce but doesn’t intend or want that at all. Does that affect marriage in any way. Please clarify do any of these scenario affect anything May Allah reward you immensely for your patience Ameen.

Salam, my name is Ahmad and I’m 21 living in USA, my question is what do I need to do for my dua to be accepted? Currently I live with my parents, because I’m dependent on them. My Dad who is the primary provider of the house, his income is haram, and our house is bought with RIBA. I work in a grocery store in the produce section where about 5-7 percent of the products have bacon, like the salads. My question is is my job halal, or would that make it haram. Also what do I and my family need to for our duas to be accepted. Please pray for me and my family that Allah SWT suffices us with that which is halal so we may leave the haram. Because duas of people who have haram sustenance income food clothing are not accepted. What if I make dua to Allah the one which I asked above would he accept my dua since I’m trying to make a change or would It still be rejected. Please advise, may Allah reward you

Assalamu alaykum. I read a fatwa on your website under number #10762; here is the link: https://qa.muftisays.com/?10762 I did not understand one point. According to this fatwa, if someone started a business using stolen money, then later returned that money and all the income earned from the business, but the business continues to generate income because he replaced the capital with his own savings — does this mean that the person is obliged to give away all subsequent income from this business for as long as the business exists? My second question: if someone stole (or bought using stolen money) a laptop and learned programming with it, would the income earned later from that knowledge and those skills be haram? If so, does this mean it is impossible to purify this, and that for the rest of his life those skills and knowledge in his mind would remain haram and cannot be used? Please answer according to the strictest opinion among all madhhabs. As I understand it, the fatwa numbered 10762 is based on the Hanbali madhhab.
