As salaamu alaikum.
I needed to know ruling for women who want to color or highlight their hair. I want to just highlight my hair and my husband will not let me do so because he likes my hair the way it is. I want to do it because I would like a different look and I want to feel better about myself. I am only doing this for myself and my husband, not anyone else. Am I supposed to take his permission to do so or am I allowed to do what I like with my own hair as long as it is not haram?

Generally speaking, you are allowed to color your hair except black. But if your husband does not agree with it, then it is for the best interest of mutual agreement in the house that you refrain from doing it until you convince him. But generally there is nothing wrong with dying or highlighting your hair.

Assalam o Alaikum! Sir! I want to ask about SALAT O SALAM. Please SALAT O SALAM is right or not, since some say right and other say not?
|
| Answer |
Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

We are commanded by Allah to send peace and invoke blessings on Prophet Muhammad. Allah says: Indeed Allah and His Angels send peace and blessings on the Prophet; O you who believe, send peace and blessings on him.
The problem lies however in conflicting with the prophet's Sunnah, innovating in the completed message that he left behind or in refraining from the best example he gave us.

| Question |
Is it haram to disagree with certain things in Islam but only in your heart? for example I disagree with having to pray 5 times a day I find this as too much but I never actually express my disagreement by mouth, I never say I wish it was less or anything like that and I do pray all prayers on time whenever I can. Basically I just wanted to ask if we have to agree with EVERYTHING in Islam or can we disagree with something as long as we do not openly show our disagreement for it?
|
| Answer |
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Out of His Mercy, Allah will not question us about harboring doubts or evil thoughts unless they are put into practice. Therefore Allah will not question you about those conflicting views you have about Islamic teachings unless you are influenced by those thoughts to the point that you start to do things against what Allah has told us. In the meantime you are supposed to struggle against the evil whispering soul and trying to convince yourself in many ways, including education and cleansing your heart.
Allah Almighty knows best.

I know someone who is a munafiq, she isn't really Muslim but on the outside she acts as if she is and she knows she isn't a real Muslim so she knows she is guilty of major shirk/kufr but she just acts like she is Muslim, a man who seems like a good Muslim he prays, fasts and does all that he is supposed to has asked her to marry him. He thinks she too is also a good Muslim like himself but the lady herself knows she is only Muslim on the outside, deep down she is not. If she marries him will the zawaj be accepted by Allah or will it be illegitimate?
If she decides to marry him even though she is aware that she is not a believer deep down, will the zawaj be accepted?
If the zawaj is accepted and they get married, then later on in the zawaj the lady fixes her ways and becomes a true believer, will they need to renew the marriage contract?

| Answer |
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
We are supposed to judge by what we see until we see a change. The marriage is valid, so there is no need for repeating it.

| Question |
Muslims are meant to believe that god is just, that he is fair but why does Allah kill some people when they are just a child/baby, they die without any sin. or why does he make some people insane and they too are not accountable for anything all of these people die without any sin, but others have to believe in Allah, pray, fast and do other things just so they can enter heaven. Why does Allah do this? If Allah killed me when I was a baby or if he made me insane then I too would my sin be forgiven like them, why does he help these people in this way? How is this fair?

| Answer |
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
We have to accept all decisions from Allah as good and for our best interest, whether they appear positive or negative for us. We don't know the wisdom of Allah but we believe in His wisdom, and that if we were to be shown this wisdom we would have thanked Him for doing so. Usually people think that everything is related to this life, but that is totally wrong. We have the Hereafter that is permanent. The bottom line is: when we stand in front of Allah and see everything in the right perspective we would thank Him for doing what we thought it was bad for us.
Allah Almighty knows best.

Is there a sense of fun in Islam? Music is not allowed, and movies are not allowed how Islam defines fun? I consciously want to follow the correct way of doing things according to Islam but find myself restricted. Kindly guide me towards proper entertainment options in Islam.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Of course there is fun in Islam, but is a comprehensive way of life. It teaches us that we perfect both the end and the means. That means our intentions as well as our means of carrying out these intentions have to be sound and in line with the teachings of Islam. Life is to be enjoyed and liked but what matters in is not to have fun, but how we have fun.

Salaam! Should young Muslims stand up when the elderly Muslims enter into the room to greet them?

| Answer |
Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
There are two ways to understand this thing. If the person is trying to show arrogance and request the people stand for him, in which case it would be forbidden as it is was reported that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, commanded people not to stand for a person with this attitude.
However, if it is a simple way of showing respect and reverence to a respectful person, then there is nothing wrong in it. It is reported that the prophet, peace be upon him, asked people to stand for Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, saying: stand up and greet your master.

Assalaamalaikum
I am man in my 20s and I am still painfully shy in front of people but not every person.
I have been shy since childhood though I am not as shy as I was as a child even in front of my own family and relatives I blush and feel so shy when I am being asked about marriage and also get extremely shy on being photographed by anyone. So people who know me like relatives, family tease me on topics that would surely make me blush. However I am not this shy at my workplace and pretty sociable.
In general I observed that people are content and happy for not being shy and somehow shyness is looked down upon, however there's no bad consequence from shyness. Can you please shed light?

Shyness is a blessing, so do not feel bad about it. The most important thing is that shyness should not drive you away from doing what you are supposed to do like seeking knowledge, enjoining good and forbidding evil.

Salamu aleykum! Can we use bones and the hair of the dog and the pig?

According to imam shafi`i the use of the bones and hair of the dog is permissible, but those of the pig are not allowed to be used. He differentiates between two types of najasa as regards dog and pig. I tend to follow this view.

2. If someone make wudu' before or after taking bath instate of full nudity in a closed bathroom, can he/she perform salah with this wudu?
3.Is it right to compare ones mother with his wife regarding beauty, habits, cooking, etc. means can he say that your eyes are like my mother or you are as beautiful as my mother or you cook food like my mother etc…
Jazakallah

1. As a way of showing kindness and love, it is Ok. What is forbidden is to claim parenthood of someone that is not your child.
2. Nudity does not break the wudu' by itself. Wudu' is broken by excretions.
3. If someone says to his wife, you are like my mother in such and such character traits, that is Ok. But if he says, you are to me like my mother, meaning you are no longer my wife, then it is dhihar that requires a kaffarah.
