Asalamualaikum just have a question. For these hypothetical scenario. 1) if a hypothetical man is suffering from waswasah and says to himself constantly “ never leave no matter what” but he accidentally doesn’t say the “never” and accidentally out loud only says “leave no matter what” or from that whole sentence only says out loud “ leave” and there’s no intention at all of Divorce does that do anything in all wordings? 2) similarly if a man because of waswasah all the time randomly says out loud “ leave” without thinking of the rest of the sentences with no intention at all of Divorce does that do anything ? 3) if a hypothetical man in a hypothetical scenario says “I’ll leave if you do this” or “I’ll leave if you don’t do this” and there’s no intention at all of does that do anything in all wordings? The man is just angry and says as a threat it to get her to do what he wants. 4) and if the hypothetical man in the hypothetical scenario is asked by his hypothetical wife if he intended to Divorce her by saying that and he lies and says “yes“ even though he doesn’t intend it at all he just lies and says “yeah” so she listens does that do anything? 5- if a hypothetical man in a hypothetical scenario says to his sister “I don”t want her” referring to his wife, or he says to his wife “I don”t want you” it’s all just out of frustration And anger and there’s no intention at all of Divorce does that do anything in all wordings? 6- when referring to hypothetical scenario or scenarios in my life which you confirmed that Divorce definitely doesn’t occur. In my question I have mistakenly said something similar to “Ive also given conditional divorce” ( which I haven’t done Ever at all I just said it as I was explaining the scenario to you back then and mistakenly wrote it ) there’s no intention at all of Divorce or put the word “divorce” in the question title does that do anything in all wordings and anything else similar to that?there’s no intention at all of Divorce Jazaka Allah for all your help may Allah reward you immensely

Asalamualaikum Hypothetically in Islam if a hypothetical man has an OCD he has a thought that” if he doesn’t or does do that then “divorce” “ so he does stuff for example it could be anything like opening the door multiple times or switching the light off multiple times after. the fact that this hypothetical man listens to the thought and act on it do anything ? Or starts to do with action or is in the middle of it and stop himself does that do anything? or if he can’t do the action for any reason? there’s no intention at all of Divorce ,does that do anything in all scenarios or anything similar? May you be rewarded

"I am currently living in a non-Muslim country and have financed my home through an Islamic bank using an Ijarah (lease-to-own) model. In the event of a disaster that destroys the property, I am concerned about the financial hardship of losing my home while still being liable for the debt. Is it permissible to take out a conventional home insurance policy to mitigate this risk and protect against total financial loss?"

Sheikh, my husband is the eldest of four brothers. We both work hard and, after five years of marriage, are still building our own family and trying to save and invest wisely for our future. Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed us with a good income, but we do not believe that having a good income means we have unlimited financial responsibility toward his brothers. His parents are retired, and we already support them with approximately $4,000 per month for their living expenses. We do this willingly and consistently, and we strive never to fall short in caring for them. Previously, one brother entered a business venture with my husband that failed. After the loss, he insisted my husband was responsible for his $40,000 loan related to that business. He stopped speaking to his parents and prevented them from seeing their granddaughter until we paid the full amount, even though it was not solely our obligation. We ultimately paid it to restore family peace and in the hope of reconciliation. He resumed speaking to his parents afterward, but it has now been two years and he still does not speak to my husband. Now the youngest brother is creating similar distress regarding his university education. He insists specifically on studying in Europe and rejects more affordable options elsewhere, which significantly increases the cost. Because my husband feels emotionally pressured, I have been handling the research and applications and have spent considerable time finding more reasonable alternatives. We truly want to help him study, but these options are often refused and expectations continue to increase. We initially planned to help with $10,000, then extended to $25,000, and now we are being pressured toward $30,000 per year — potentially over $120,000 for a four-year business degree. When limits are discussed, he reacts with crying, shouting, and making himself physically ill, which causes their mother severe distress. My husband feels caught between two sides. He cannot give freely because this income belongs to both of us and must be agreed upon together. At the same time, he feels deep guilt when he sees his mother suffering. He has acknowledged that the expectations placed on him are heavy and often unfair, yet he struggles because he loves his family and does not want division. I also struggle internally. We are trying to build stability for our own household, and this pattern keeps repeating. It leaves me feeling that while we are the ones consistently supporting and caring for the parents, we are also the ones placed under the greatest pressure. I fear that if we do not establish healthy limits, this cycle will continue indefinitely. We want to act with ihsan, justice, and kindness — but not at the cost of enabling ongoing emotional and financial pressure. How can we set fair and principled boundaries, protect our family’s future, and still maintain family ties in a way that is pleasing to Allah?

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullah. I am seeking sincere Islamic advice regarding jinn and protection because I am very worried about my wife. I live in the UK and she currently lives in Afghanistan. We have already had our Islamic nikah done, but we have not yet had the cultural wedding or started living together. My wife grew up in an environment where many people in her family say they witnessed cases of jinn possession. For example, her sister was reportedly possessed and the family says she would behave strangely, eat unusual things, bleed from her arms randomly, and even objects like plates would move or fly in the house. They say she was taken to local mullahs for ruqyah and treatment over time. Other relatives also reportedly had similar issues, including one cousin who stutters when the jinn becomes strong and another who reportedly cannot have relations with her husband because of a jinn issue. In addition, my wife told me that her father, who is a Haji and a very religious man, said he personally saw his daughter-in-law floating in the air during a possession and that she was affected by a jinn that behaved like a child, causing her to act like a small child. Because of these experiences, at least two people in my wife’s household reportedly had jinn cases, which has made me very worried. She has also told me that in their area there have apparently been cases where girls were said to have died because of jinn possession, which makes the fear even stronger. Because of these experiences, my wife is very cautious about jinn. She reads protective duas and has good Islamic knowledge, but she still has fear. Her family also tell her that when a woman is engaged or in nikah but not yet living with her husband, she is more vulnerable to jinn possession. They also tell her not to be alone too much and that showering at night when not in ghusl could increase the risk. We often speak late at night due to the time zone difference between the UK and Afghanistan, and she prefers to talk at night after her day finishes. I sometimes worry whether staying awake late or being alone at night could increase her fear or risk, but she really wants to talk to me and waits the whole day. However, I grew up in the UK and have never seen such things myself, so I am confused and worried. According to authentic Qur’an and Sunnah, how common is real jinn possession? Are there any authentic teachings about a woman being more vulnerable during engagement or nikah before living together? Are there any rulings about bathing at night or being alone at night? And what is the correct Islamic way for us to deal with these fears and protect ourselves properly? I am very worried and scared for her and she said the other day she felt someone was praying with her and felt presence in the shower of someone, so this made me very worried.

Asalamualaikum hope you are well I never did this or ever will I just suffer from extreme waswasah that why I’m asking this hypothetical scenario about another man Hypothetically if a man says to his wife or to himself that “ When i get divorced im going to eat mums cooking ” or “im going to divorce then im going to eat mums cooking” does that do anything to the man’s marriage?

Student loans in the uk are written off upon death. Next year they will be bringing out sharia compliant loans, but if I start this year I will still hv to use the interest based loan for the first yr only. Would this be okay?

Salam, I wanted to clarify something. During end of menstruation when my period is very light, my husband and I sometimes do foreplay with clothes on and sometimes I end up with orgasm due him rubbing his genitals on mine on top of clothes so no skin to skin contact. Is this allowed in Islam? Or must all sexual activity be avoided during menstruation? Thank you for clarifying.
