Question: Respected Mufti Sahib   Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu   I  hope that you are in sound health by the grace and Fadhl of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. I should be most grateful if you would kindly let me have a ruling (fatwa) on the following: Last year a man borrowed money from one of his friends in order to meet the necessary expenses for sending his son abroad for further academic studies.  One year has elapsed but the man has to-date failed to reimburse a single penny despite his willingness to do so.  He is now feeling very much embarrassed and shy vis-à-vis his friend.  Can Zakaat be given to the father , even though he is a sahib-e-Nisaab after deduction of his debts, being given that the amount borrowed was for his son who is Baaligh and non-Sahib-e-Nisaab and not for him? The son is still abroad and is not, as stated earlier, a Sahib-e-Nisaab.  Will my Zakaat considered to be discharged if I make the intention that it is for the son while remitting the sum to the father;  the money will be used to reimburse the loan contracted to incur expenses in favour of the son?  The problem here is that the father should not know that the money given to him is Zakaat. I would much appreciate if you could enlighten me on the matter urgently please.  I thank you in anticipation for your prompt action and hope to have your reply soon. Jazakumullah.  Wassalaam

Question: Assalamualaikum I have tried to use the internet but fail constantly and I really need to know if my marriage is valid. I have been told my marriage is invalid because when my Nikah was done I was not asked my permission my dad said yes on my behalf and my husbands dad said yes on his behalf.  I did consent to the marriage and even went to another country to get married I just did not say yes on the day of the Nikah. I have two children and need to know if my marriage is valid or am I living in sin.  Please please respond even if it just says yes valid or no not valid please respond I am very scared.

Question: How can I concentrate in my Salaah with my eyes open? Clarification of having pants below ankles DETAILS: Assalamualaikum Dear Mufti Sahib,   1)I know that you have to read Salaah with the eyes open, but it’s very distracting, therefore can I leave my eyes open just a little bit and try to make this blurry and blink them a lot to concentrate more? What is the consequence of leaving the eyes closed in Salaah, I heard that if one does this, his Hoor in Jannah will be blind?2) Is peelu Miswaak the best Miswaak or the olive Miswaak? 3) What is the best place to position the hands During Du’aa’; like at face level or shoulder level or hands high up? Should our palms be facing upwards? 4)I heard that it is HARAAM to keep the pants or shalwar below the ankles and that Muhammad (S) said whatever is below the ankles will be in Jahannum. My brother is saying that this Hadith only applies to people at that time or even now who used to keep their pants below the ankle for the sake of PRIDE. Does this mean that regular Muslims who don’t keep their pants above the ankles (not for pride) will not get punished for this sin? Pleas e clarify.5)Are all synthetic alcohols in products useable no matter where the source of the synthetic alcohol is derived? 6) Should we Only act on Sahih Hadith or act on even the weak Hadith too? 7.Can you please give me a detailed description of how the Angels Jibreel, Mikaeel, Israfeel, and Israel look like if there are any Ahaadith that speak of their appearance and characteristics. Jazakallah May Allah (S.W.T) reward u infinitely. Assalamualaikum.
