Swearing that a given piece of information is true but realizing later that it is faulty
In Surah Qiyaamah, Allaah says that the collection and recitation is upon Him. Does that mean that all reciters and imams who recite publicly and in prayer are not faulty in recitation ever? I had waswaas (devilish whisperings) on whether they are faulty in reciting or not. When I learned about this verse, I swore that they are not faulty. I am confused.. More

Peeping at people without their permission
Assalaamu alaykum. I suffer from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)and prolonged vacations worsen my condition. Last night, something happened that reminded me of an incident that happened 8.5 years backs. We visited our relatives in india, and, once, I was changing clothes in a room when I noticed my cousin peering through a small gap in the window... More

Nodding to show approval is not prohibited
Assalaamu alaykum. Hello, while I was on the internet, I read that some people were saying that nodding is haram because some people say that it is like bowing. I want to know the truth about this as I was watching a video and nodded in agreement with the person speaking. What do you say about this?

Specializing in more than one branch of knowledge
Assalaamu alaykum. I heard that it is really hard to specialize in more that one subject for scholars. Is that true or can a scholar be a specialist in more than one field? Also, what advice can you give to someone who wants to become a student of knowledge?

Drinking with left hand to keep glass clean for others
Respected Brother. Today, I came to know a hadith that says, "Drink with right hand." Obviously, I always drink with the right hand, except in certain cases, especially when we have rice and curry. When we have our meal with the right hand, our hand gets covered with curry. If we hold the glass with our right hand at that time, then the glass looks.. More

Leaving a religious lesson without excuse
After the Isha prayer everyday, in a mosque of our community, some hadiths are read from different books (for a durarion of about 25 to 30 minutes) by a person, and we are few people who listen to it. Is it sinful if I or someone left the program (or a program like a 'dars' or 'bayan' of any Islamicially literate person) at the middle although he does.. More

Taking multiple vows with the intention to repeat the expiation
Assalaamu alaykum. I took three vows for a single matter. My intention at the time of taking the vows was that they were three vows so that if I broke them I would have to offer the expiation three times. Do I have to offer three expiations or just one?

Someone I know had a lot of doubts about Islam, so he brought one hundred books and went online and found many courses and many lecutres, hundreds of them. He found many studies of many books and many many classes and courses. He is.. More

The ruling on whether it is from the Sunnah to drink while sitting or while standing
What is Sunnah? Does Sunnah mean the things that ProphetMuhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,did? People say that drinking while sitting is Sunnah and not in the standing position. However, in one of your fatwas (50836), you quoted a hadith from An-Nasaa’i that says that the Prophet used to drink both standing and sitting (narrated by Aa'ishah,.. More

The wording considered a vow
Assalaamu alaykum. A Muslim doctor wrote that he will do a certain course of five years to help the injured Muslims if Allaah gives him a certain opportunity; afterwards, he thought that he would do a two-year course instead of a five-year one. If it is regarded as a vow, then what should he do now, and is it regarded as a vow for worship or just for.. More

Taking a history course that includes religious falsehood
Assalaamu alaykum, I am an American boy who is in highschool. I signed up for a world history class last year, and I am now taking the course. I took a test, and on one of the questions, it said that Jesus, may Allaah exalt his mention,was crucified, as most americans believe, although we know he was not. So by being a part of that class or being a.. More

Replying to someone who gives greets from a distance
Assalaamu alaykum. 1) If someone greeted from a distance so that I could not hear his salaam (or what he said) clearly, is it obligatory upon me to reply to his salaam then? 2) Is it obligatory to reply with the salaam loudly so that the person to whom the reply is given may hear it?
