I intake 2 types of herbal medicine for my health. One which is called Echinacea and the other St Johns Wort.
Echinacea is made from herbs which are extracted using alcohol and water to capture active constituents. The alcohol is then removed, leaving a very small residue.
St Johns Wort is made in the same way as Echinacea but all alcohol is removed from it.
My question is that are we allowed to use these medicines when alcohol is used in making them (even though it is not the alcohol as we know it)? |

I don't know if I am supposed to ask this or not because I have heard that we are not supposed to find out meaning of our dreams...
This dream is not mine but it is about me my uncle's daughter had this dream:
The dream was she doesn’t know if it is my wedding day or a function during them days but she sees her boyfriend in the dream and it is snowing and he gets lost in the fields she says to my sister to go with her and find him but my sister doesn't go with her and I say to her that I will go with you, me and her are following her boyfriends foot steps in the fields and we are just going round and round but we cant find him so my cousin says leave it because he's playing a game we are just going round in circles and then she wakes up.
After she awoke she told her boyfriends father about the field part but not about the wedding part and they at that moment had a peer sahib at the house, the peer asked her who is getting married and she said me, the peer said to her that something bad is getting planed by a family member for the wedding but they don’t know if it is from the dad's side or the mum's side of the family and because she said in her dream its a game we are just going around in circles, we will figure out the plan but by then it will be to late.
I am really very worried and don’t know what to do I have turned my self towards Allah. Please is there anyway I can find out what is going to happen and who is planning the bad. I hope you understand what I have written and can you email me the reply back. Allah hafiz |

I’m a non Muslim woman. My mother was a non practicing Christian and as such I have not had a religious upbringing. I met and fell in love with a Muslim boy who is practicing.
We now have a daughter who is two. I have found out that he is married with another child. Shortly after becoming pregnant he admitted that he had a wife and he has another daughter three months younger than ours with his wife.
Despite this I still love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him. The relationship feels wrong and I do not want to continue along this path. I want the best for my daughter and want her to have a religious upbringing that I never had in order that she avoid a situation such as mine, but I’m scared that the life which I am leading will not result in this.
I also fear the persecution that she will face. I am willing to covert to Islam in order to try and live properly and would want to marry the father of my child and live properly. What implications does this have if I know that neither his first wife nor his family would agree and so the marriage would have to be kept secret? Is this better then the immoral relationship we have now?
I also receive little religious guidance from him on how I can become a Muslim and on how my daughter should be brought up. How is it that a non Muslim becomes a Muslim and where can I go for advice. Thank You |

I know as Muslims we have to have circumcision, and sort of know why this act is done, but would be grateful if you could clarify as to why this is a requirement.
Also if we need to remove the foreskin then what is the reason we have it in the first place, as Allah created man perfectly. I hope I don't offend anyone, as my purpose for asking the questions is simply to learn for myself and then explain to non Muslims when they put forward this question to me. |

If someone is willing to convert to Islam for marriage and has a basic knowledge of Islam but doesn't fully know the Religion and beliefs, is it permissible to convert and learn about it afterwards?
A friend of mine did this and didn't practice until 30 years after converting. When she fully believed in all aspects of Islam and is only recently a prating Muslim? Because I have read that you shouldn't convert for marriage but for Islam and Allah (S.W.T)? |

My First Child is due, by the will of Allah (S.W.T), in October this year. I understand that we need to do the Aqueeqah (booking a hall, inviting guests round, and inviting a guest imam, food and the Aqueeqah meat) which I have no problem with.
But if by the will of Allah (S.W.T), the child is born during Ramadan, I guess everyone will be busy fasting and if the child is born after Ramadan, everyone has celebrated Eid and will not appreciate the Aqueeqah.
I feel it will be more beneficial spiritually and morally that if I add up all these costs i.e. booking a hall, inviting guess round, inviting a guess imam, food and the Aqueeqah meat and send the equivalent amount in pounds to Sudan or Palestine or any poor regions where the people will appreciate it. How do I proceed? |

I wanted to ask about the divide within society, in regards to where a person comes from. recently I was told that since I’m not a born Muslim, but have been guided to learn and follow Allah (S.W.T) late in my life, and also that I didn't belong to a certain village, and therefore am not a certain caste and supposedly do not follow the same way of living as this family, I may not be accepted by the Mother to marry her Son. This is because people might look badly towards this family after.
Please for my peace of mind can you clarify whether this caste divide is correct? I have read in the Holy Quran that a believing man may marry a woman believer or one of the people of the Scriptures.
I also understand that it would be wrong to make a son choose over his mother as Paradise is between her feet, therefore I would not insist on this marriage. However are the reasons of refusal given to me correct? Please can you clarify for me? Is it correct to do so to uphold the honour of their family? |

I'm a Muslim man in my twenties and I very much enjoy chatting with preteen girls (9yrs - 12yrs) on the internet. The things I talk about are just general stuff like school, hobby's etc. (the same things they would talk about with their friends).
The only way for me to have an honest and open conversation with them is by pretending to be a girl their own age; which is of course an easy thing to do on the internet.
Recently I came across this Hadith: "The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Allah has cursed the women who imitate the men and the men who imitate the women." So my question is: Does this Hadith apply to me in my specific situation? Or can I just continue doing what I’m doing since I’m not causing harm to anyone. Thank you very much. |

Our Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was friends with all communities such as Jews, however there are some people who have told me that if there is a Jew living next
door to you must move out of your house immediately, and should not make friends with any Jews, is this true?

I would like a Scholarly opinion Insha’Allah - May Allah (S.W.T) reward your efforts and grant you Jannah.
My husband is very pious Masha'Allah and I am trying to improve in my practice of Islam (I am a revert) I try to cover myself appropriately and wear Niqab outside of the house most of the time.
My husband feels it is a higher/ advanced level of Adab to also wear a Head covering (e.g. scarf) at home. As he has Taqwa, he feels doing so is more modest and brings greater blessings into the home through one's modesty.
He suggests (never enforces, Alhamdulillah for his good character) that I should wear head covering even in seclusion with no visitors or Non-Mahrams. I have no objections to doing this if evidence or proof of this is presented as I wish to obey my husband.
From my studies I have found no evidence of women being required or even recommended to keep on Hijab at home. My husband says I will not find evidence of this because it is Adab and therefore more subtle - not from Quran and Sunnah.
My husband is from Pakistan and I am concerned that this is actually a cultural practice and that there is no recommendation/benefit from my doing so. I am happy to do it to please him but I am equally very keen to follow true Islam without cultural norms being mistaken for such.
Could you please clarify if covering at home is more in line with the principle of 'Haya? If not, will I be sinning if I refuse? (not out of stubbornness, rather the intent to avoid cultural practices or innovation in Deen) Jazakha'Allah khair Wa'alikum wa salaam, Barak Allah feek. Revert sister |

I work in a hospital in UK, and my question to you is that is it allowed to feed someone (non-Muslim) non-Halal food or served them Haraam food? Because in hospitals there is non Halal food and sometimes there is also pork. So can a Muslim feed to a patient who can't feed himself/herself due to her medical condition a Haram food such as pork? |

As I gone through questions I came out with several doubts.
1. If a man can marry with more than one wife and less than 5 without any permission with his previous wife then can a woman do so also? If not then why? isn't Islam treating man and woman unequally?
2. Who creates homosexual people? Almighty Allah (S.W.T) or the man itself? if Allah then who is responsible for the sin he does? |

I have been deeply attracted to Islam during my childhood studies in Madrassa. There are classes up to tenth in our Madrassa. I learnt sixth and ended .I wish to learn .But my parents are against it telling that I have obtained the Fard knowledge . Its a fact which they told. But at the same time I have a brother whom they have selected to send till tenth. I too am a kid of my parents. Don't I have right to get equal treatment? |

Isn’t it true that there should be no laughing, no worldly talks, no shouting in the mosque? So then why is it that there are 'elders' in mosque who treat the mosque like its their home and do everything they shouldn’t be doing, what kind of example is this to young children who get shouted at for something the 'elders' are doing themselves. I’ve heard loads of gossip, backchat and disrespect from these 'elders' and have had enough. It’s disgraceful, they should know better, treating everyone like dirt.
I have done nothing but respect these people and when they keep being disrespectful, time and time again there’s only a certain amount i can take. I’ve been incredibly patient and its getting beyond a joke, I go to this particular Masjid, do my thing, give salaam to the people there and leave. Does it say anywhere that I have to stay and talk to people because they want to talk about something irrelevant, no? I know I have to carry on being patient, could you tell me the reward for patience? |
