I have read your knowledgebase regarding the use and viewing of pictures.
Whilst it is haraam to take or look at pictures, I wanted to know if there was any leniency for people like me who use pictures of males and females to help sell my products.
For an example, see my website at www.shifttrading.com
I have a set of pictures which I use to bring about an emotional reaction in the mind of the reader so that they are more likely to purchase my product.
Is this allowed?
If not, I will have to remove the pictures from my website.

I know a person with name as "Saferdeen".
He says some people quoted that it wasnt a good name, and because he travels daily they say its because of his name.
What have you got to say about this.

Assalamualikum,
I was reading on article relating to the current events in Iraq, where a Shi'a shrine was damaged.I quote:
"The tombs of Imam Ali Al Hadi (radi allahu anhu) and Imam Hasan Al Askari (radi allahu anhu) have been a place of great spiritual and religious significance. Both Imams hold a significant spiritual position in both Sunni and Shia schools and command the utmost respect and reverence from all believers alike."
I was wondering if this in fact true and the mentioned 'Imaams' hold any significance in Islam. I couldn't help but think of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilaani (ra) who was undoubtedly a great scholar, yet after his death, some people have elevated his status to a level of Shirk.
Jazakallah

Would it be advisable to put papers with the name "ALAAH" written on them in the recycling bin rather than burning them?
As they often get put in the masjids and they dont get burnt until they have quite a load & then they just get thrown around.

I work in a call centre where I take calls. At the same time I sit at a computer with internet access and I'm allowed to do anything on there.
I want to ask is it jaiz to read the Quran from the computer at the same time as listening to caller's messages and answering calls.

Assalamu Alaikum Respected Ulama,
Is there any basis in Islam for the saying that if one leaves the Qur'aan open 'Shaitan reads it' or if you have ayaats of Qur'aan on frames that it should be covered because 'Shaitan reads it and distorts the meaning' (of the ayaats)?
Jazakallah khairan

Assalamu Alaykum Warahamtullahi Wabrakatuhu,
I pray that this question reached you in the best of health and iman. Ameen.
I have read this calculation in my Tirmidhi Sharah but I do not get it. Could you please explain it (even briefly) please? The following is the calculation:
The first Wahy (revelation) came down for Six Months. And Wahy (revelation) lasted 23 years. So the first Wahy being 6 months ( beause 2 six months = 1 Year) 2 x 23 years = 46 months. Thus Dreams are 1/46th part Prophethood.
You may have guessed that it refers to the hadeeth in which rasulullah (SAW) says that Dreams are a 46th of nabuwaah.
Please do remember me in your duas.
jazakallah.
Wassalamu 'Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu
