My sister is going to marry a man whose father died when he was 2 years old and his mother got second marriage with another muslim man.step father replaced the real child's father name by himself.
Is it allow in islam to write the name of step father instead of the real father in nikkah documentations of that child. Because now he is going to marry with my sister now. He is 20 years old now.
And verbally announced the name of real father during nikkah.
Is that nikkah being jaiz.
JazakAllaho khairan.

Sir i have a question...
what is the process of nikah on call??
my friend did aijab o qubool on a call just for fun at that time no one was on her side listening to her... but now she is saying that she was standing near the main door so it is possible thaf someone listened her from outside so i wanted to ask that in this condition is she married to that guy now?
and tell me that what are the conditions for nikah on call... is it necessary to listen the aijab o qubool by witnesses by both sides on speaker??? or if witnesses hear only one sided talk from each side.... will nikah be done???

Salam Alekum,
I did Istikhara for proposal I got from a second man, meanwhile I have been talking to first man for marriage purpose. In my istikhara dream for second man, I saw a scary dream with the first man in it. What does this mean? Does the dream mean the first man is bad for me or second even when the istikhara was for second man?

Assalamu Alaikum,
There is a woman who was abused by her husband who was an alcoholic, so therefore, she left her country to come to North America. She thought she was divorced automatically because someone told her that fact she was away from her husband for one year, she becomes automatically divorced. She met a muslim man at work and he confirmed to her that she indeed was not divorced, in her situation. As they got to know each other, they fell in love and even committed zina. Finally, the woman got her divorce papers, and completed her iddah period. During the iddah, both man and woman stopped seeing each other, and felt remorse and guilt for their sins, and made taubah and repented to Allah. They're planning on getting married soon inshaAllah, so I wanted to know if their marriage is valid? I heard that there are a few scholars of the Maliki maddab who say that a man who spoils the marital status of a woman is not allowed to marry that woman. But most scholars have agreed that this marriage would still be valid. And the man is not sure if he falls under this category because the woman already had intention to divorce before she met him. Also, the man is of Hanafi school thought and the woman is of Shafii if this helps. Even though the majority of scholars say that marriage is valid, I wanted to be clear and know the correct view inshaAllah if they may marry and worship Allah throughout their halal marriage. Please advise, JazakhAllah kheir.

Salam.
I will try to be very short as required. I am over 30 years old, and there is a guy, also over 30 years old. We both are muslims. We want to get married, but our parents don't agree. Their disagreement isn't based on islam, but on issues like caste and status. I have done Hajj, alhamdulillah, and I pray 5 times a day, but sometimes unfortunately I do skip my prayers, but I really try to pray as we should. I use hijab and try to follow islam as much as possible. They guy is also decent, loving towards his family etc. We live in the West, so we could have gotten married all by ourselves, but we don't want to do that to our parents. We want them to give us our blessings. I have read on net that we can do the wazifa "aghisni aghisni aghisni ya mogheeso". Should we both do that wazifa or you can give us another? His mother and family live in Pakistan, so he can't do dam on some sweet food etc so his mother can eat it. I live with parents. Could you give us a wazifa and the requirements in order to do the wazifa. I apologize for my poor English. I am looking forward to an answer. JazakAllah khair. Allah hafiz.

Dear muftisaab,
My husband and i are very much in love and seem like the perfect couple mashallah he thinks the world of me but i have a past which he has no idea about. Before i knew him i did things that i am so ashamed of... i was stupid ignorant young and followed the wrong crowd i am in denial of what i used to be like i cant come to terms with how i was. I am a completely different person now and would never do those things again but i keep on getting flashbacks of what i used to do and i feel so so disgusting for lying to him. If he ever found out i know he would never look at me in the same way again and would probably hate me or leave me. I love him so much but i feel like i am betraying him. Will my lies be revealed to him on the day of judgement? I am so scared and ashamed and have sincerely repented and i intend on doing further. Please help me or please advise me on what to do.
Thank you .

Dear respected ulama,
I would like to know what extent of physical interaction will effect rajaai'. For example, would holding the wife's hand or touching her face mean that he has taken her back?

Main kisi se pyaar karti ho aur woh bhi mujhe pasand karte hai, magar jitna main unse chahti ho woh nahi itna nahin chahte. Main Fajar aur Isaah ke bad Surah Tahaa verse 39 parti ho. Aur mujhe pata chala hai ke agar pasand ki shadi ke liye Ya ghani ya mughni parna hai Isaah ke bad 1100 dafa. Yeh main par sakti ho?? Surah tahaa aur ya ghani ya mughni, dono par sakti ho? Mujhe kya parna chahiye? Help me plzzz!!!!
Translation:
I am in love with someone and he likes me too but not as much as I do. I recite Surah Taha verse 39 after Fajr and Isha prayers. I have come to know that you should read Yaa Ghani and Yaa Mughni 1100 times after Isha prayers for love marriage. Can I read this? Can I read both? What should I read? Help me please!!!

over 2 years i know my husband now and through this difficult time and my husband has no incombe i worked many many hours i had to sell my car too.
Finally i had a Window and i was able to get a car again to drive to nature and sit on top of a lonely mountain there i feel Allah so close to me and it is a wonderful feeling enable to feel this again and to thank Allah for giving me this felling.
But my husband has other ideas he things i dont need a car and it was wrong from to by a car. i have told him tonite that i like to be close to nature again and that i miss this in my life .
in this 2 years i known my husband i have grown older by 20 years not 2 years coz all i do is work work work.....

Who are Ahle Hadith? Is there any difference in Ahl-e-Hadith and Ghair Muqaledeens? Can a person who is Ahl-e-sunnah (Sunni) marry a girl who is Ahl-e-Hadith?

Aslamalakum
I am now 30 years of age and whilst I believe that marriage happens when a person is ready to accept it in thier lives and when Allah swt has decreed that moment. I dont think that the community I live in do accept this. I live with my sick father and we have to care for him which has delayed my marriage but one day my mother and I went to a friends house who had been to hajj there we met with other ladies and they got talking about marriage I came home very distressed as it has distressed my mother. I wen to sleep that night with a very heavy heart just before fajar I dreamt of the Prophet (saw) in my dream I didnt see his face and I was signing my marriage contract with him I was dressed in white, I took this dream as a kind of dream that was giving me courage and that marriage will come. What would your thoughts be and how would you advise me to pursue marriage I dont have brothers to look for a partner for me and my mother and I keep our selves to ourselves so how should I look for a partner I do work but keep my boundaries and do not feel that this is an environment where I should transgress them what would your advise be on this?

As Salaamu Aleykum,
Is it allowed for a woman to change her surname to the one of her husband after marriage is done? I have been told that it is not allowed due to a Hadith that we shall be called by the names of our fathers.
Mufti Saab please can you clarify
Ma'salaamah
