Women's Benefits

▪️If your husband enters the house and you do not leave whatever is in your hands to go and receive him, greeting him with a smile and comforting him after his fatigue, then you are not fit to be a wife. ▪️If your husband does not eat from what you cook with your own hands, and instead goes out to buy food from a restaurant, and his clothes are only washed by a laundry worker, then you are not fit to be a…

“Habibti, I think you’d be better without him.” [Forwarded] It usually starts innocently. A WhatsApp message from a friend. You’re just venting, letting it all out. And one of them says, “Habibti, I think you’d be better without him.” And that’s the moment it begins. Not a fight, not an argument—just a small seed planted in your heart; a seed of doubt. He comes home that night; the man who’s always been there…

Abul-Aswad married one of his daughters off, so she said to him, “Advise me.” He replied, “Honour his eyes (always look good), his nose (always smell good), and his ears (always speak good).” [Muʿjam Al-Udabāʾ (vol. 4, p. 1467)]

أحسن الله إليكم، وبارك في حرصكنّ على السؤال والفقه في دين الله. هذا بابٌ يكثر السؤال عنه، لا سيما في المجتمعات الأوروبية، ويحتاج إلى ضبطٍ فقهيٍّ منضبط بالقواعد الشرعية، لا بالعادات الغربية ولا بالأذواق الشخصية. وسأقسم الجواب إلى أصول ضابطة ثم تفصيل في أنواع الثقوب المذكورة مع التعليل والدليل. أولًا: الأصول الشرعية الحاكمة لمسألة ثقوب الجسد الأصل الأول: الإباحة في الزينة للنساء بضوابط الأصل في زينة المرأة…

Some of you believe that your prayer, fasting, night worship, and recitation of the Qur'ān are all that bring you closer to Allāh, and that performing these acts of worship is everything. My dear sister, you have overlooked obedience to your husband—yes, your husband. He is either your Paradise or your Hellfire. Obedience to one’s husband is an obligation upon you, so where do you stand regarding this duty? Know…

Lecture 2 Notes

Can we speak during the marriage meeting? Shaykh Al-ʿAllāmah Ibn Bāz (may Allāh have mercy on him) permitted speaking with one’s prospective fiancée regarding matters that need to be known. He said, as recorded in Majmūʿ Al-Fatāwā (20/430): “It is permissible for a man, if he intends to propose to a woman, to speak with her and to look at her without being in seclusion. The Prophet ﷺ said when a man came to…

Is it permissible to have more than one marriage meeting? Shaykh Al-ʿAllāmah Ibn ʿUthaymīn (may Allāh have mercy on him) said in Ash-Sharḥ Al-Mumtiʿ (21/12): His statement, ‘repeatedly’, means that it is permissible for him to look at her more than once. This is based on his ﷺ statement: ‘If one of you proposes to a woman and is able to look at that which will encourage him to marry her, then let him do so.’ If,…

The Evidences, Accompanied by the Statements of Scholars, Regarding Looking at a potential Suitor By Shaykh Abu Bakr Al-Ḥammādī, may Allāh preserve him

Can a woman adorn herself for potential suitors? Sheikh Abu Bakr Al-Hammadi states: I say: The fundamental basis for the permissibility of this matter is what was narrated by Al-Bukhārī (no. 3991) and Muslim (no. 1484), through the chain of Ibn Shihāb, who said: ʿUbaydullāh ibn ʿAbdillāh ibn ʿUtbah narrated to me that his father wrote to ʿUmar ibn ʿAbdillāh ibn Al-Arqam Az-Zuhrī, instructing him to visit Subayʿah…

Can I show my hair to my potential suitor during the marriage meeting? Question: If a young man comes forward to propose marriage to a young woman, must he see her? And is it permissible for the woman to uncover her head in order to show her beauty more to her suitor? Shaykh Ibn Bāz rahimahullāh said: There is no harm in that, though it is not obligatory. It is recommended that he see her and that she see him,…

Question: The woman asking the question also says: I have neighbours from Ahlus-Sunnah, and my husband hates them. I have not seen any harm from them; rather, the harm comes from him, through insulting them and harbouring bad suspicions about them. Now he prevents me from going to them and visiting them, and from taking anything that comes from them, or from giving them anything, or lending them anything even…

Some opponents of polygyny are not driven by emotion alone, but by negative experiences they or those close to them may have endured. This is understandable, as such experiences may be their only exposure to polygyny. What is not acceptable, however, is directing that negativity toward the Shari‘ah itself or toward couples who wish to practice polygyny in accordance with the Shari‘ah. Please take a read ⤵️…

He Promised Not to Take Another Wife — What If He Breaks That Promise? If a husband promises his wife that he will not marry another woman, but later breaks that promise and enters into another marriage, then he has committed a sin by breaking his word. A believer is commanded to honour his promises, and it was wrong for him to make such a commitment in the first place if he was unsure of fulfilling it. However,…
