Is it permissible for a woman to breastfeed her baby sister, and would it then be permissible for her husband to meet this sister?
Answered by Sheikh Abū Bilāl ḥafidhahullāh (Paraphrased):
“There is no objection to a woman breastfeeding whomever she wills [within the limits of the Sharī'ah]; whether the child is related to her or not; if the child needs to be breastfed and she is capable of doing so, there is no…
Does the husband have the right to prevent his working wife from going out to work in order for her to stay at home and look after the kids if he provides for her?
I am a teacher and I have married a teacher four years ago. We have had a child and during this period, we have lived in troubles because of her family, relatives and friends. I see no way out except preventing her from work; is it permissible for me to…
Are women allowed to work?
Summary of Abū ’Aṭiyyah's response حفظه الله

If parents fight infront of the children, what should be the children's stance?
Sheikh Muḥammad Al-’Ansi ḥafidhahullāh:
The stance of children towards their mother and father should be that of peacemakers and not spectators of abuse. This (the latter) is not good. Likewise, [it's not good that when] the father starts beating [the mother] that the children join in and beat their father...likewise, taking sides is…

Sheikh Muḥammad Al-’Ansi ḥafidhahullāh explains in his answer to the above question that a woman should not open the door to waswaas (whispering) upon herself. If she takes a shower after becoming pur
The other question asked here was regarding the brownish/yellowish discharge (الكدرة والصفرة) and the white discharge when a women comes off her menses, are these najis?
He said: As for the كدرة & صفرة, this is considered najis because it contains traces of menstrual blood [if it occurs during the menses]. As for the whitish discharge, if it has traces of menstrual blood it is najis also, but if continues to come…
The same question was sent to Sheikh ’Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari hafidhahullah.
His response:
لا يجوز حتى تغتسل للحيض
It's not permissible until she makes Ghusl for coming off menstruation.
To confirm, I asked the Sheikh:
لو اغتسلت ولم تنو رفع الحدث فلا يجوز الجماع هكذا؟
Do you mean that if she takes a shower without intending to uplift ritual impurity, it's not permissible to have sexual intercourse?
The Sheikh responded:
نعم.
Yes
If a woman takes a regular shower after menses, without the intention for ghusl, is she allowed to engage in sexual intercourse with her husband?
Sheikh ’AbdulKhāliq Al-’Imād ḥafidhahullāh said:
If a woman's menstrual bleeding stops and she washes herself from the angle of cleaning herself, this does not suffice for the Ghusl of uplifting major ritual impurity (after menstruation). Rather, she has to intend to…
Is it permissible to hold group weddings as it is more cost effective?
Sh. Zaayid Al-Waṣābī ḥafidhahullāh:
“The ruling of group weddings [is that] there is nothing wrong with it. For example, if they come together and combine 5/6 weddings into 1, or maybe a person has 3/4 children and marries them off all at once, there is nothing wrong with that. If there's some impermissible factors involved, that's another…
The right to issue divorce is a trust which falls on the husband's shoulder
A brother narrates:
“I helped a bother get married to a sister some months back. The marriage was going well to start off with, but after some time they gradually started arguing. During some of these arguments, the sister would request the brother to divorce her, and he would comply with her request and divorce her. He said this happened…
After listening attentively to what Fatimah had to say, the Prophet ﷺ addressed her problems and gave her a solution.
This part of the hadeeth serves as a perfect counselling session for anyone seeking marriage.
What did he ﷺ advise her with?
And more importantly, why?
The answers to these two questions are the key to benefitting from this counselling session
Q1. What was the Prophet's advice?
A1. He…

“When you are free to remarry (i.e. After completing your 'Iddah), inform me”
An-Nawawi rahimahullah commented:
“In this is permissibility for one to implicitly propose to a woman who has been issued an irrevocable divorce, and this is the correct view with us (i.e. The Shafi'ees).” [end of quote from Sharh Muslim]
NOTE: Don't go 'DM'ing sisters subliminal messages. If you are…
10. Why did the Prophet ﷺ instruct Fatima bint Qais to remain in the house of her cousin Ibn Umm Maktoom, while he is a non-Mahram?
An-Nawawi rahimahullah said:
“Some people have argued on the basis of this the permissibility of a woman looking at a strange man but not vice versa, and this is a weak view.
Rather the correct view held by the majority of scholars and most of the Companions is that it is forbidden for a woman to look at a strange man just as it is forbidden for him to look at her, due to the statement of Allah Almighty:

1. Allah legislated divorce just as He legislated marriage. Divorce is not a crime, so we should not treat those involved in divorce cases as criminals (husband and wife alike). And just as it is not a crime if there's grounds for its issuance, divorce should not be misused (especially by us men). Not every marriage is bound to work out; the two parties may be good people individually, but as a couple they may not…
Marriage & Divorce are two major topics in many counselling sessions
Let's see how the Prophet ﷺ dealt with these two sensitive matters by reflecting over the following hadeeth, reported by Muslim (1480):
Fatima bint Qais radhiyallahu anha reported:
“My husband Abu 'Amr ibn Hafs ibnil Mugheerah sent 'Ayyaash ibn Abi Rabi'ah to me with a divorce, and he also sent through him five Aasu' (20 double palmfuls) of dates and five Aasu' of barley. I said: Is there no maintenance allowance…
Divorce happens to good people too
Zaid ibn Ḥārithah was a pious Companion, so too was his wife Zaynab bint Jaḥsh. Yet, divorce happened between the two.
They were not bad people, they didn't violate each other's rights, etc., they were just not compatible with one another.
Divorce is not a crime, and divorcees are not evil people.
In fact, sometimes divorce is the best option - a blessing in disguise

The formula for longevity in marriage
Abu Ad-Dardā said to his wife Umm Ad-Dardā رضي الله عنهما:
“If I become angry, try to please me, and if you become angry, I will try to please you. Were we not to act this way, how quick would we have separated!”

Can siḥr (magic, witchcraft) have an affect on the marital relationship?
Sheikh Ibn Bāz raḥimahullāh said:
“The sāḥir (person who practises siḥr) does things by which he affects people with sihr. Sometimes this is by illusion or making things appear to be something else, as Allāh said concerning the sorcerers of Pharaoh (interpretation of the meaning):
“And their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though…

Dealing with a troublesome Husband
Even though my husband, may Allāh forgive him, is a person of good character and fears Allāh, yet he does not treat me with kindness. He is always moody, frowning and troubled at heart – and he often says that I am the cause of this. However, Allāh knows, and all praise is for Allāh, that I fulfill his rights and try to bring to him tranquility and peace of mind and I try to stay…
Be a New Wife Everyday!
People naturally become bored with the worldly life, even if they were in a state of happiness; and this boredom only comes from the absence of renewal and change. So do not allow your husband's heart to become bored with you by always having the same look, wearing the same clothing, or cooking the same food.
Rather be versatile according to your ability. If you see him pleased with a…
Jealousy is natural, but it must be controlled
‘Ā’ishah رضي الله عنها said:
Juwayriyyah bint Al-Ḥārith ibn Al-Musṭaliq fell to the lot of Thābit ibn Qays ibn Shammās, or a cousin of his, and she made a contract of manumission for herself. She was a very beautiful and attractive woman. ‘Ā’ishah said: She came to ask the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about her contract of manumission, and when I saw her standing at the…
