Parents . Father . Daughter . Marriage

If parents get separated and the father clearly says that he does not want to be a part of his daughter’s marriage, is his permission still required for the daughter to marry someone?

Such statement can be because of anger and he might repent later. He should be asked again when his daughter is about to get married. If he says then that he is not concerned, then his father ( her paternal grand father) should be asked. If he is not alive or not available, then she can decide her marriage by herself.

Daughter . Fatimah Al-Masuma . Imam Musa al-Kazim

Is Syeda Fatima Masuma superior to all the daughters of the other Imams in relation to the traditions narrated by the Imams in her regard or is she only superior to other daughters of Imam Kazim (as)?

Sayyeda Fatima Msdooma (AS) is greater than other daughters of Ahlul Bayt (AS) excluding Lady Zainab (AS), Lady Umm Kulthoom, Lady Roqayyah, Lady Sukainah (AS). Having said that, we must mention the fact that the real status is known only by Allah (SWT).

Husband . Stepfather . Mahram . Daughter

My husband’s father passed away but his mom remarried when my husband was just a toddler. Would his stepfather be Mahram to my future daughters?

Your husband's step father is non Mahram to you and to your future daughters as well, simply because he is not the biological father of your husband.

Father . Daughter . Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

If the father gave the authority of spouse selection to his mature and working daughter and made it clear that he will happily accept her choice, can the girl do temporary marriage with a guy she wants without any further consent of her father?

It depends on the father's statement whether he meant giving her the full choice to marry whom ever she selects in Nikah or Mut'ah marriage.

If he was meaning permanent marriage Nikah only, then she still needs her father's permission for Mut'ah.

Mahram . Mut'a (Temporary marriage) . Daughter

I am getting married to a guy who was raised by his step-dad. Is there any way, such as through temporary marriage, that my future daughters can be Mahram to their step-grandpa?

Step-dad of your husband in non Mahram to you and to your daughters. If he has a real son who can enter with you in a verbal temporary marriage contract for a short while with out consummating it , that will make his father (the step-dad) Mahram to you and your daughters. If that verbal contract is done with your daughter, his real father ( the step-father) will be Mahram to your daughter.

What does Islam say about having a non-Mahram live in your house while you have 3 adult daughters who find it kind of difficult to cover themselves for most of the day?

Parents . Property . Daughter . Inheritance

One of my paternal aunts had died before her parents. Does she have the right to share in the parents' property or not, as the parents themselves had never announced a share for their deceased daughter or her children?

No share for the deceased son or daughter nor to their children after them as far as they died before their parents. When a person dies leaving his own children, and grandchildren, direct children only have the right to inherit from him as far as they were alive when the parent died. Those who died before their parents have no right in inheritance unless all the children have dies before their parents, then their children will inherit from their grand parents because no direct son or daughter are alive.

Property . Father . Inheritance . Daughter

Who inherits the property of a father who dies with two daughters and no son? Do the male relatives, such as the deceased's brothers and nephews, get the inheritance instead of his own daughters?

No one has any right in inheriting from this man but his own two daughters and his wife if she was alive when he passed away. Wife should get one eighth and rest should be equally divided between the two daughters. If no wife was alive when he passed away, then all the property and wealth should be dived equally between his two daughters only. No one else from the relatives is entitled for any inheritance from him. This is according to Ahlul Bayt (AS) who have the real teachings of the Prophet (SAWA). Sunni brothers have something different which prevents the daughters and give to other male relatives, which is away from Quran and Real Sunnah.

Daughter . Marriage . Islam . Illegitimacy . Children

I have a daughter from my previous marriage who never accepted Islam and she now has an illegitimate child. As a practicing Muslim how am I supposed to act towards this child?

You need to keep in touch with her and treat her nicely being a practicing Muslim so that she will see the great manners of Islam. You should try to invite her to Islam as and when you find a suitable chance. Her being non Muslim does not mean always that she denied Islam deliberately. She might had been a victim of ignorance or misleading propaganda.

You should do your best to give the practical evidence that Islam is the best religion.

Hijab . Daughter

My inlaws never questioned my Hijab. However, now that my daughter has started practising it, they actively discourage her. What should I do?

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. Although each circumstance is different, a starting point, after making sure you and your spouse are on the same page, may be to have a clear conversation with your inlaws to find out why they are uncomfortable with your daughter wearing hijab. The second step would then be to make absolutely clear that this is something you would like for your child and that you are not happy with any type of discouraging. In short, it is important to set a clear boundaries and if that boundary is not respected then you can think of the next appropriate action.

May you always be successful

Uncle . Son . Daughter . Inheritance

My uncle, who has a son and a daughter, has passed away without making a will. Who does the inheritance go to in this situation?

Two thirds of what he left goes to the son, and one third goes to the daughter. This is if he left only one son and one daughter only with out wife. If he left a wife, she gets one eighth, then the remaining should be made in three equal shares, two shares for the son and one share for the daughter.
