Man . Woman . Marriage

I am a female wishing to get married. I know of a young man who seems to be a good potential husband. We don't have communication together and I don't see him anywhere. How can I ask Allah (swt) to allow us to meet and perhaps get married?

Asking Allah (SWT) to allow you to meet that person and perhaps get married to him if it is good for you, has a very clear and straight forward way which is supplication to Allah (SWT). Supplication (Du'a) is the always-open gate which was created by Allah for His creatures to ask Him as He said ( Seek from Me, I will respond to you) (Sura 40, Verse 60).

Seek from Allah (SWT) always, especially after your daily prayers ( Salah) and after Night Prayers ( Salat al-Layl) and during Sojood to grant you what He knows the best for you.

Recite this verse as many times as you can (إنَّ هذا لَرِزقُنا ما لَهُ مِن نَفاد )Sura 38, verse 54).

Wassalam.

Woman . Imam al-Mahdi

I know that there are some people who are close to Imam Mahdi (ajfs) and were able to communicate with him. Is it possible for a female servant of God to speak with the Imam (ajfs)?

Yes of course. Humble servants of Allah (SWT) can be males or females. Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) meets, guides and helps servants of Allah, where ever and when ever Allah wants him to help. Many sincere females were been blessed with this bounty in many places and times. Piousness degrees are never restricted to any gender.

Allah says in Quran : Whoever does good whether male or female while being true believer, We will grant them righteous life and will grant them reward for the best of they were doing. (Sura 16, verse 14).

Allah (SWT) Has sent revelation (Wahi وحي) on the mother of Musa (Sura 28, verse 7) because she was a Pious female.

Marriage . Woman . Christianity

As a Muslim male, I want to marry my female Christian partner. Where do we start and how can we get properly married? And what if she cannot have any witnesses from her family attend the marriage?

First of all, she needs to understand the basics of the faith of Islam; No God but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger. When she believes in Islam, permanent marriage between you and her will be allowed. No need for any witness from her family to attend. Marriage ceremony can be recited by any person who knows how to recite it in Arabic.

Woman . Marriage . Sexual . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

I am a married woman with a very high sex drive whereby I am not fully satisfied with my husband even though we are sexually active. Is it permissible for me to do Mutah whilst being married?

Not at all. It is impossible for a married woman to even think about any sexual matter with any one apart from her husband.

Mut'ah is a type of marriage. As it is impossible for a married woman to marry another man while she is already married, it is impossible for her to do Mut'ah while is she is married.

You might need to consult a lady doctor for a medical advice to control your very high sex drive. It is always good to discuss such matters with your husband.

Woman . Husband . Masturbation . Sexual

Is a woman allowed to masturbate if her husband does not satisfy her?

Bismihi ta'ala

In Islam, masturbating is haram. If the woman is married, it is her husband's duty to satisfy his wife's sexual needs. It is very oppressive and selfish if he does not. We have numerous hadiths that mention this as well.

If, for whatever reason, the husband is not fulfilling his duty and catering to her rights, it does not give her permission to do haram, and she must address this with her husband, or find other solutions.

And Allah knows best.

Skin . Woman . Dermatologist

As a male I wish to see a dermatologist for my skin problem. I have an option between a male and female one. Do I have to see the male doctor only or is it permissible to go to the female one if she is more skilled?

Bismihi ta'ala

If there will be physical contact, without gloves, and you do have an option of seeing a specialist of the same gender, then it would be haram to go otherwise. Unless of course, the specialist of the opposite gender is the only highest qualified dr and your case is serious, needing that level of qualification, then you can, but try to request gloves be worn.

And Allah knows best.

Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to wear a ring or amulet with Quranic verses or names of Ahlulbayt written on it? And is it permissible to recite more than seven Quranic verses from memory during this time?

Yes, it is permissible to keep on wearing an amulet, talisman, stone, etc. If the verses, Divine Names, or names of Ma'sumeen (a.s.) appear on the outside, then you should avoid touching it. Or, you are able to laminate it, or cover it with clear coloured nail polish, to avoid accidentally touching it.

Yes, you can also read more than seven verses. the only verses you must not read are the verses that have a wajib sajdah.

These verses are in Surah Fussilat, Najm, Sajdah and 'Alaq.

And Allah knows best.

Woman . Parents . Marriage

I have heard that if a woman wants to marry someone and her parents are not agreeing then it is not allowed for her. Is this true?

Not every Muslim woman needs her father's permission for her marriage. Only the virgin girl needs her father;s permission or her paternal grand father's. If the marriage is not the first marriage, then she is free to decide although it is always good to keep the respect of her father and mother but there no condition on her marriage.

Even virgin girl can get married if she needs marriage to save herself and her father is objecting on the marriage with out a valid Islamic reason.
