(4) the descendants of the nursed child.

"My husband has memorised the Qur’an and studied some Islamic knowledge. When he’s outside the house, he treats people kindly and has good manners. But at home, he’s the opposite—he has no good character, doesn’t speak kindly, doesn’t smile, and he hits me. He spends more time outside than at home.

The Ruling on Women Wearing Noisy Footwear and the Importance of Modesty in Islam
Question: Is a woman sinful for wearing shoes that make noise when she walks?

The Necessity of Gender Mixing in Ṭawāf and Saʿī Is Not a Basis for Permitting Free Mixing in General
The questioner asks: Some people try to philosophise the issue of freemixing, claiming that it is permissible and allowed based on the mixing that occurs during ṭawāf in Al-Masjid Al-Ḥarām, as well as certain gatherings of the Prophet ﷺ in which it is understood that men and women may have been present together…
Why is it not possible to segregate men and women during Ḥajj and ’Umrah?
Sheikh ’Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh explained:
"As for advocating for gender mixing — that is incorrect. And likewise, forbidding all mixing in this context is also incorrect, because ṭawāf cannot be entirely free from mixing between men and women.
If we attempt to separate men and women by space, such as assigning women to the outer edges of…
Why Do You Prohibit Free-Mixing When Men and Women Mix During Ṭawāf?
Sheikh Fawzan ḥafidhahullāh says:
Some people say: Don't women mix with men in the areas of ṭawāf and saʿī?
We respond: This is a different matter. Ṭawāf and saʿī are acts of worship in which it is practically impossible to achieve complete separation between men and women. Some level of overlap may occur.
At the same time, it is incumbent upon…
