Question: “It is also fine to meet someone through school or work or a community gathering as long as the parameters of modest behavior are observed. If you meet someone you would like to discuss marriage with, just arrange for the brother to meet your wali or family.” (Sister Zaynab, title: How does a Muslim woman find a spouse for herself?) This quote has brought me great confusion. Secret but modest premarital relationships are permissible in Islam? Can a man talk to a girl, get to know personal things about her and get intimate without the consent and awareness of her guardian as long as modest behavior is observed? Also, I’ve been reading about “suitability” in marriage. Can a father refuse a man because he did not satisfy one of the conditions of kafa’ah?

Question: Is it permissible for a Muslim to work as a real estate agent or broker? I think the primary point of concern would be directing potential home buyers to banks and mortgage institutions.

Question: I have read the evidences provided by yourselves for tawassul via the Prophet (sallaallahu alayhi wassalam). I have not, however, seen any evidence for intercession via saints …is there any such evidence and if not, then how can we say that this is permissible?

Question: Assalamu Alaikum! My friends and I have begun investing in stock options, specifically using the long straddle strategy (NOT short) and I wanted to make sure it was all Halal. Here is a Wikipedia link describing it, the first part is about the long straddle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straddle Using this strategy we purchase both put and call options on a stock before a big event (earnings, major news) so we benefit whether the stock moves up or down. Some of use are earning very high returns in what has so far been very low risk trades. There is no interest involved as we are not shorting a stock or borrowing anything from our brokers. Please let us the status of these investments in the Shariah.

Question: I’m pregnant with my third child. With my previous pregnancies I had terrible post partum hemorrhage as well as severe post partum depression. I have a midwife who suggests freeze drying and encapsulating the placenta (for consumption) as it has been proven to prevent/help hemorrhage as well as post partum depression. Is this halal?
