I have feelings for someone who has brought me closer to Allah and the Ahlulbayt. He has been meeting my parents' requirements for three years by moving abroad and securing a job, yet they disapprove because he is not wealthy. What should I do?

You can try to convince them that wealth is not a valid condition for happy marriage. Marriage conditions are good faith religion and good manners. It might take you time to convince your parents mainly your father, but you have to try your best.

You can also request good persons who are respected by your parents to try to talk to your parents to convince them.

Woman . Sexual . Desire . Sin . Man . Divorce . Masturbation . Marriage
Is it permissible for a 37-year-old divorced woman to occasionally masturbate to avoid sin, particularly in a country where finding a Muslim husband is difficult and considering the hormonal changes affecting her menstrual cycle?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi, Sayyed Mohammad al-Musawi is originally from Iraq and heads up the World Ahlul Bayt Islamic League in London. Other than being involved in various humanitarian projects, he frequently responds to... Answered 1 anno fa

No. Masturbation is a sinful act and we are not allowed to commit it under such excuse. Masturbation itself is itself a sinful act, and it can never be permitted for a Muslim female. There are many things mentioned in Quran and authentic Hadeeth which help avoiding falling in sexual sinful acts like:1. Fasting which helps a lot in controlling sexual urge. 2. Avoiding things which increase sexual urge like photos, films, music and songs.

3. Remembering the pious females who are the best models for us like lady Fatima, lady Mariam, lady Zainab, lady Ummul Baneen and other pious females.

4. Remembering the punishment of the sins and great reward of the piousness in this life and hereafter.

Hadith . Man . Wife . Sexual . Meaning

There are narrations that do mention some of these things, but most of our esteemed scholars do not mention it as one of the makruh acts during intimacy, meaning that they might not hold that level of authenticity. 

You must refer to your Marja' taqleed on this, but whatever the case is, it is not haram, nor even firmly established as 'makruh'.

In congregational prayers, why are women required to stand behind men in the prayer rows? Does this not seem unfair to women? Shouldn't the rows for men and women be positioned next to one another?

It is important to keep the respect of women not to bow in Ruku' and prostrate in Sujood in front of men. Men should not see the women bowing down or prostrating. The rows of women should be behind the rows of men.
