If a nikaah has happened but consummation didn't take place and that couple sit in a dining room which is usually accessible by everyone. The event goes out like this: 1) couple are in the room with the slightly opened door. People are in the house and that couple are not assured privacy. Brother of the husband enters the room without permission and the husband asks him to go out. Then either the husband closed the door without locking it or he left the door opened slightly. 2) brother after a few minutes again enters the room without permission. Husband then asks him to go out and closes the door without locking it. People were still outside. 3) after a few minutes mother of the husband knocks the door and the husband opens it and says the door is not locked. Mother then leaves the room while keeping the door open and says keep the door open we won't disturb you guys. But people were still outside and there was always a fear of someone entering. Please let me know if this is khalwat e sahiha or no. Note that generally people would enter this room without permission and there were always people in the house so risk of someone entering was always there. Also let me know it is khalwat e sahiha and divorce happens after khalwat e sahiha but before consummation. Will it be talaaq e bain or rajee? Note that this whole event would have been of 15 mins

Assalamualaikum. I am asking on behalf of my friend Dr. Mamoun and his wife. Both of them are physicians and married for about 5 years and have a 1 year old daughter. They are going through a lot now so I am asking this question on their behalf. Their marital life is apparently healthy except some intimacy issues. Last week they started a quarrel over a small thing which turned into a big fight. At a point the wife took a sharp vegetable knife and put it on the throat of husband and threatened him to give her 3 talaaq. The husband said he won't be giving any talaq even if she kills him. Then the aggressively angry wife held the knife on her throat and said, "If u don't give me 3 talaq now, I will kill myself now, give me talaaq now" the husband thought that she might really cut her carotid arteries and die and he may get into trouble and in fear to calm her down He said, "Talaaq, Talaaq, Talaaq" After that both of them calmed down. Husband said, I said that to save your life and not to fall in trouble. I did not mean it. Wife Said, I was just scaring you. I dont want a talaq. Dr. Mamoun and his wife knew some scholars personally around them, they got 3 different answers from 3 of them when asked about it in details. 1. Your talaaq has not taken place as you did it to save your wife's life. You are good. 2. Your 3 talaaq has been accomplished and you cannot live together anymore. You must get separated at once. 3. Giving 3 talaaq in one sitting counts as one talaaq. You can take back your wife and continue your family The husband got more confused when he started browsing the Internet and listening to different famous scholars giving different rulings. They are sincere and want to follow what is right and not to get into sins. They don't want to ruin the life of their daughter as broken family kids are looked down a lot in their culture and many goes through mental trauma. They are really desperate to keep the family going in the right Islamic way. Please advise the right way to deal with this situation. We would be grateful if you tell us why other fatwas are not right. JazakAllah khair

Assalamu aleykum I am married two years now. I was Muslim before I met my husband but didn’t pray regularly and didn’t follow all rules. My husband wanted to marry me before he really knew me and before he started to practice Islam. After he got to know me, he started to send me Islamic books and really tried to get me to an Islamic circle. Well I really started to feel guilty, when I didn’t pray and stuff and wanted to wear a hijab. After one year we had our nikkah. I really love him and he helps me to be near to Allah and doesn’t do anything (I see) that is prohibited. Before I met my husband I had a haram relationship also with a Muslim, but he wasn’t praying and stuff. It was a sad relationship for me and also with an heartbreaking end. He texted me afterwards, but I wanted to practice Islam. Since I met my husband and find guidance I didn’t really miss him. But now that I am married it’s the second time that I start to questioning what would’ve happen, if I had answered him. If I could practice Islam with him and I start to not feel attracted to my husband also to questioning my feelings towards my husband. I fight against my will to text my ex. I don’t even know, if I want to end things with my husband. But I can’t fight against those feelings anymore. It lasted one week now. Please help me, if you suggest any Duas or have any other suggestions just tell me. I don’t want to lose what I have with my husband and also don’t want to lose the nearness to Allah. But it makes me so sad to never be able to talk to my ex again, to never be with him again.

And after this temporary nikah can I marry to my ex husband again as he knows everything and in shia religion temporary nikkah is allowed we ask some of the mufti he said these all are allowed so I’m not comfused ? Jazak Allah

There is a game tutorial that you have to complete to play the game. The game prompts you to press a button to revive/teleport a character. The character says he will be reborn through fire. I know the game is impermissible but is it kufr if I do this just to complete tutorial?

I like to clarify whether working for large retail companies such as Amazon and Tesco is halal or haram? Both Amazon and Tesco are selling alcohol, pork and haram food. If I work for these companies as a data analyst where I don't sell haram products nor carry them nor promote them, will my job and income halal? Or is it still haram, because Amazon and Tesco are making their money also through selling haram products and even though I don't get involved directly, the salary I am receiving may get involved with the income of these products?

At work I have mandatory "Compliance Training".One questions about a man who doesn't hire a woman as he thinks the travel for the job is too much for her.It asks what my advice is and gives two options.The only "correct" option is that he is being prejudiced/stereotypical. Is it kufr to click this?Could we say it IS stereotypical to say a woman can't travel a lot(as she can travel but a mahram is required)

Assalamualaykum brother, How are you. I’m a Muslim by birth, married with three kids. After all these years of marriage a big issue has creeped up. I have been given a few Hadith’s and a book on Hadith to check and follow. I’m not that educated as my other half, I do hijab but not much into Islamic studies. I am forwarding the Hadith books, can you please check and clarify if they are authentic. Also, if the books are not authentic can i take Talaq. The books are - At-Taliqatul Hasanu Sahih Ibn Hibban Nemat ul Kubra - by Ibn Hajar Al Haytami Makki Shau’b al-Iman lil Bayhaqi Sharh Sunan ibn Majah Al Sanadi Mishkat Al-Masahib Sunan of Abu Dawood Imam Ibn Kathir JazakAllah, Salema T

Brothers i may have given a 1st divorce to my wife and i am confused as well please advise for context - years ago my father out of nowhere said to my mother i give you my first talaq now. Because she speaks very rude to him anyway i was very angry at my wife as she was rude to me and recently shes been quite aggressive i do so much for her but i feel the appreciation isnt there, i try make her life easier shes a very good wife we have children overall i am happy with her but recently shes been not as good - she always goes in a mood and iv told her i want peace and a good life usually when she argues i say i think you never liked me so if you really want you can leave me and find someone better (immature i know) but deep down its like a threat not saying i want you to go an marry someone else- shes not very loving but thats her nature.... anyway usually i say to her youve gone quite rude and the way you speak to me sometimes and make my life abit harder than it is better you jus leave now and go to your mums house but its always a threat never you leave now today.. i said to her if you keep carrying on 'like my father i will not hesitate to give you the first talaq right now' now i was angry but i dont think this is a 1st talaq, i still think this is a threat of talaq but she is saying that after that i said 'which i will give you now' i wasvery angry i do not remember but i know i said- i dont think this is a talaq as i nevet said this is your first divorce etc ' like my father i wil not hesitate to give you your first talaq right now' i did not say you are divorced for ever, or say you are divorced three times, or said i give you talaq, but i said like my father i will not HESITATE to give you a talaq right now (or 1st talaq right now) nor did i say i give you the first talaq now? if i said what i said ' 'like my father i will not hesitate to give you the first talaq right now' 2 if i said what she is saying i said ''like my father i will not hesitate to give you the first talaq right now, so ill give you it now) but i did not say so here is my 1st talaq worst case scenario if she has got her first talaq, shes in her idda now, if i say to her i am taking you back or be intimate with her is this reversed? i will do both and never mention the word talaq ever- or tell her to go to her mums if she wont improve her attitde( the only time i tell her to go home or leave me is based on the fact if she wont stop being rude etc) obv i have learnt my lesson - to do these threats, or talk about talaq, no matter how angry i wont mention it but just upset and feeling paranoid? overall these words were used as a threat never in my mind i wanted to divorce her because i love her.... In short- If i said ‘like my father i will not hesitate to give you the first talaq right now’ Or what my wife says (i was angry and do not remember) i said like my father i will not hestiate to give you the first talaq right now which i am going to give you now Throughout this the intention which was made clear to her was on the basis she does not change moving forward at not any point i was thinking of giving her the first talaq

My wife has PCOS. We were having a heated argument on phone. She kept asking me for divorce on phone. I kept refusing her and then she asked to me for divorce again and i hung up the call. I gave it a thought and decided not to give her divorce. she kept on calling me and i was not picking her call. Then i decided to pick her call and says words to scare her. The conversation that i remember goes like this: Wife: "speak", "what happened" and then i replied "whatever you wanted has happened (in urdu)", next words i am not sure what i said but could be one of these phrases "we dont have a relationship anymore (in urdu)" or " i am not your husband anymore" she replied crying that please dont do this. then i am not sure if i said "you are free (in english)". then she started having panic attacks and i told her that i havent given it. I clarified that i didnt do it. Please note that i am sure that i didnt have any intention to do it. Scaring her was the last resort for me because she is going through PCOS and eventually she starts hitting herself. I just wanted to shut her up and it worked. Please let me know if its talaaq or not and if it is please let me know if it's bain or not. Please note that my wife only remembers me saying "what you wanted has happened" and i never used the word "talaaq". Also, after the phrase"what you wanted has happened" I am not sure what the exact words were but for sure I never said Talaaq explicitly neither did I ever intend too.
