Divorce is the most disliked act although it is allowed when it does not involve injustice.

'There are conditions for valid divorce, e,g, Wife should not be during her monthly period of menstruation, nor during purity days when she has had sexual intercourse with her husband. Husband should not be forced or under pressure to divorce his wife. Two pious witnesses who witness the declaration of divorce by the husband or his attorney.

There is no three Talaq in one time at all.

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. As long as you pray within the time (i.e. before the time for the prayer passes entirely) there is no problem if you don't pray at the recommended time. If it happens that you miss the time completely you must make up that prayer outside of its time.

May you always be successful

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, of course you may write about Imam Husain (a.s.) and his humanitarian movement in standing against injustice and oppression. I'm sure you are able to be creative in your style and select things to write that would be of benefit to the readers in your school. There are many elements of the personality and revolution of Imam Husain (a.s.), and you will need to take that into consideration when you want to introduce such a wonderful personality to those around you. Write about his sacrifice, his moral life, his social reform movement, the loyalty of his companions, and so on.

With prayers for your success.

as salam alaikum

the four Sunni schools of jurisprudence are related to practical laws and therefore they are not directly linked to doctrinal and theological issues (although sometimes we see some affiliations).

Theologically, Sunni schools can be divided in three main branches: Ash'aris, Maturidis and Ahl al-Hadith.

The Sunni-Shia debate have been dealt in different way by different scholars belonging to these branches. Therefore the judgment more often goes back to ulama, or groups of ulama, and not to the schools themselves. Also, it may depends on what Shi'i trend they refer as their judgments may differs from a Shi'i approach or group to another.

We certainly see some Sunnis very staunch against Shi'ism while others are more tolerant. The same goes for the Shias towards Sunnis. So it is prudent not to generalize and analyze single groups and opinions from case to case.

With prayers for your success.

A woman needs her husband's consent for going out of the house but she can acquire and ensure these rights that are mentioned in the question as a stipulation or a condition during the contract, so she can ask for the right of studies and working.
Even if she has not and the stubborn husband is not going to let her go out, she can still continue her studies online and even work online because it doesn't need going out.

Islam . Hanafi . School

Why is it okay to pray 3 times a day in some types of Islam whereas in the Hanafi school one has to pray 5 times?

Mahmood Abu Maryam, Trying to make sense of it all... Answered 1 year ago

Perhaps you are referring to the practice in the Shia community of combining the Zuhr and Asr prayers and the Maghrib with Isha prayers.

This is considered permitted on account of abundant evidence in the Islamic sources that the Prophet (s) had combined these prayers without any special reason.

My dad and mom want me to do Zuhr and Asr a few minutes before it becomes Qada every day because of school timings, rather than try and pray in school in an earlier time. What should I do?

You should not delay your obligatory Prayers at all. Those who delay their obligatory Prayers lose great reward and cause themselves sorrow in the Day of Judgement.

It is obligatory and compulsory to perform the obligatory Prayers within its time under any circumstance. It is not permissible to delay any obligatory Prayer till its time goes away.
You must perform your Prayer within its timings any where which is available even on the road or any public place or so as far as the owners of the place do not object.

It is not allowed to delay your obligatory Prayers till you return back to your home if you return after the time of the obligatory Prayer.

Obedience . Parents . Marriage . School

What exactly is meant by obedience to parents? Is this required in all circumstances such as marriage, school, etc? If not, how do we know the difference between when we can and cannot go against their wishes?

It is compulsory to do good to our parents and to deal with them in
the best possible way and to obey them when they order in any matter
which is in accordance with the rules of Allah (SWT) and not
otherwise.

A virgin girl requires the permission or the approval of the father or
her paternal grandfather for marriage.

Schooling, education, business etc. does not require the permission of
the parents but we should always keep in mind the maintaining of their
respect and happiness.

Wassalaam

Can you shed some light on the kind of musical instruments allowed in Islam, especially in modern schooling of our children?

Music used by sinners is not permissible for us. We must avoid our children attending musical classes if the music is from the type usually used by the sinners.
