Marriage to a Convert Girl in Secret
<QUESTION>
I have been “with” a girl for the past three years. Prior to this both of us had had no relationships nor engaged in any physical activity with anyone. She was a very pleasant girl who seemed to have all the characteristic qualities of a Muslim women but she was Christian…. She has converted… We both feel that we could practice Islam and be far better Muslims if we knew in our hearts that we were together Islamically, though both sets of parents vehemently oppose it…............. http://www.daruliftaa.com/node/5335?txt_QuestionID=
Is it Necessary to Marry? The Legal Ruling on Marriage
<QUESTION>
I fear falling into the sin of zina. I have communicated the problem with my parents but they are saying that I should resist. I have tried doing this but it is not working and I don’t seem to be able to continue to do this for at least 5 years until I finish my studies.
My parents are correct as I am only 18 and I wouldn’t be able to support my wife. But what I have suggested is that to perform nikah and to live together in my own house after I complete my studies. She would live in her house and me in mine in the meanwhile. my parents don’t like this idea, so respecting their authority as everyone should I am resisting; but I feel it would be better for my imaan and well being if I did go ahead with my proposed idea.
If I wanted to I could fall into haram but I have to choose Allah above my parents. I am confident to go ahead and to put my trust in Allah. But I wanted to know how do I go about proposing? I have a few women in mind (that I have not talked to but I know of them) how am I supposed to propose to them? Can I talk to them on the basis of marriage? Should I be alone with them, in a public place, could we exchange numbers? How does it EXACTLY wor.....click on link above

Sister in-Law to Nurse my Son without my Husband's Consent
<QUESTION>
My question was regarding whether I can have my sister in law nurse my 15 month old son so he would become her and her daughter’s mahram. The complication is that my husband finds this idea really strange and for no valid reason is saying no. I have a very good reason i want to do this which is that once he is older, I want to be able to easily let him visit my brother’s house and not have them to worry about him not being their mahram. We go there a lot because our kids play and I don’t like to be at the unislamic environment of my in-laws house. I don’t want to have my son go to my husband’s family’s house too much because they listen to music, have m..........click on the link above

Attributing a Child to other than his Actual Father

Deferring some Amount of the Dowry (mahr) to Divorce
<QUESTION>
My question relates to marriage and dowry. After 2 years of marriage talks with a particular, we are but a few months away from being married insha’allah. However, the bride and her family say that a condition which they put forward at the time of accepting our proposal was that we would pay the sister/bride a large sum of money (5 figures) should I divorce her in the future. I do not recall ever accepting such conditions, to the contrary I have always disagreed to having any conditions placed on my marriage. Now, we are going through a very turbulent period where we have already decided to part ways, under duress. This is neither what the sister/bride nor I ......click the link above
Looking at a Suitor and Showing Hair
<QUESTION>
I have heard from my Hanafi teachers that it is impermissible for a woman to show her hair to a suitor, that those who say it is permissible are using a very weak opinion. My husband, however, says that the mashaikh only say this to the 'aam people who may misuse the ruling (to see the hair of every girl that they are not even serious about). His family is mashaAllah very pious, and his brother is becoming a mufti under the tutelage of Mufti Taqi Uthmani. His brother actually told my cousin that it would be permissible to request to see a girl's hair. Also, another one of my husband's brothers saw the hair of his future wife beforehand (when he was reasonably convinced he would be marrying her), and my husband's sister showed her hair (only once) to her future husband (though normally she is in niqab). (Note: they did not do these things with any one else they were considering; only the people they *actually* eventually married). I am very confused. Do people like our respected Mufti Taqi Uthmani allow for this? Perhaps Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam or someone else familiar wit......read the rest by clicking on link above
Being a Bachelor due to Inability to Remain Married
<QUESTION>
I have a problem being married but not for the wrong reasons. I’m not interested in being with women. It's the idea of living with a woman every-day and sharing my space. I’m in my fourth marriage and want to leave it. I do not have any big problems but prefer being alone. I’m almost sure that I will divorce my wife as I hate coming home to her. I have tried sleeping in a separate room but that does not help. So, is it possible for a man to be a good Muslim but cannot stay married apparently due to a personality flaw or so?
<ANSWER>
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
As explained in detail in an earlier post that marrying in normal circumstances is a confirmed way of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace).

Marriage Proposal by the one her Friend Likes
Date Posted: 30-06-2004
<QUESTION>
I find my self in need of moral advice, if a friend is upset over a proposal given to another friend by the man she likes, what is the proposed girl to do, should she reject him only because of her friend.
<ANSWER>
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
No, rejecting simply because one’s friend likes the suitor is not necessary. One may do a favour to one’s friend by letting the man know about the feelings of one’s friend, so that he may consider her. If they do not come to an agreement, then one......click on link to read the rest
Islamic Position on IVF Surrogate Motherhood
<QUESTION>
What is the Islamic position on surrogate motherhood, which involves “a woman who becomes pregnant usually by artificial insemination or surgical implantation of a fertilized egg for the purpose of carrying the foetus to term for another woman”? i.e., sperm and eggs come from a legitimately married husband and wife, the egg is fertilized, and the embryo/fertilized egg is implanted in a third woman. Is this analogous to wet nursing, which is permissible?

Use Wisdom when Avoiding a Sin & Marriage Dilema
<QUESTION>
My friend is in a difficult situation. She was married to a man who had medical problems which impaired him from having intimate relations. In the 10 years that she was married, she had about 2 intimate encounters with her husband. Due to this she committed a sin and was with another man. She divorced him (with the advice of local imams) because she wanted children and a regular married life.
She then meets a man at her office who converts to Islam with her help. They want to get married but he is already married (to a non Muslim). He wants to get a divorce but his wife is giving him trouble (they do not live with each other or have kids). My friend wants ............click on link above
Stipulations Regarding Dowry & Mahr al-Mithl
<QUESTION>
I have been married for 2 years but unfortunately things are not working out... we are going through a very turbulent period where we have already decided to part ways. However, her family says that a condition which they put forward at the time of marriage was that I would pay her (my wife) a large sum of money (5 figures) should I divorce her in the future. I do not recall ever accepting such conditions. On the contrary I have always disagreed to having any conditions placed on my marriage. I cannot afford such figures now nor am I willing to accept this condition. Am I wrong? Or am I being wronged by the other party? Is this request of theirs acceptable in Shariah; a contract within the Nikah for a large sum? Please could you enlighten me with some guidance?

Excluding old Friends to Obey New Husband
QUESTION>
A friend inquired about the following matter: she (a convert, has been Muslim for some time) just recently remarried (to a born Muslim, non-American). The issue came up between her and another, older Muslim convert friend about not meeting with people your husband does not like. The new husband said there is a hadith to support this principle of leaving off meeting with people your husband doesn't approve of, so now the old convert friend would like "daleel" (I think she was offended, hurt).
Could you please shed some light on this issue? I think they would also appreciate references from the Qur’an and Sunnah, since all parties involved do not follow a madhhab.
