  A brother has to inhale oxygen whenever he sleeps. The oxygen has to be inhaled by him as long as he is sleeping. He cannot sleep without oxygen. This procedure is permanent. Now does this oxygen inhaling breaks his fast or not? As you know oxygen is only air. He says there is no medication mixed in it. Please reply asap.    

  My aunt is experiencing continuous yellow and green discharge. She has been advised that since her discharge is not white, it will be regarded as continuous spotting and she should pray and leave prayer for 15 days and 10 days alternatively. However, she is not confident with this advice, especially now that it would mean leaving roza as well as prayer. Before using contraceptives, her discharge used to be white and her haidh cycle was of one month. Please advise how she should regard this constant yellow and green discharge.

I have a 2 part question first I will explain where I am coming from. I have heard in the past that running an employment agency is haram because for example: the agency appoints person A to carry out work for person B, at the end of that week person A had carried out 40 hours of work for which then person B will pay a rate of 10 pounds per hour worked by person A to the employment agency for which in return the agency will then pay person A a rate of 7pounds per hour pocketing the remainder. My understanding of this is was that the pocketing of the remainder would be classed as interest (RIBA) however I wasn’t 100% certain so my question is A. Is it permissible to run an employment agency? B. Is it permissible to work through an employment agency?

  I have 2 seperate queries pertaining to zakaat and I would appreciate it if you could assist me with them. 1) My wife has a few investments to her name that were opened a few years back. However at the time she was unaware that she had to pay zakaat on her investment total each zakaat year. Now that it has come to her attention that she must pay zakaat on the full amount, how would she calculate her outstanding zakaat for all the previous years. She has different investments that were opened in different years. She has a full history of market values of all her investments since they were opened. Must she retrospectively calculate using previous records for each year or must she use the current market value. 2) My wife is not a tax payer – I would like to know if she can make the section 18A tax certificate on my name though her intention is that she is fulfilling her own zakaat. The making of the certificate on my name is purely so that I can obtain a further tax rebate and would it be permissable for me to claim this rebate.  

Is lack of knowledge a result of women not attending the masjid?

  I have gone through the detailed article on the purposes, benefits and necessity of taqlid recently uploaded on your website. It was truly enlightening mashaAllah. I just request you to clarify one tiny confusion for me. While I understand that following one Madhhab in all matters is a way closer to taqwa, How can we relate the following hadith to it:  “Whenever the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) was given the choice of one of two matters; he would choose the easier of the two as long as it was not sinful to do so.” (Bukhari & Muslim) So how can something that is the blessed sunnah of the beloved prophet; choosing ease, can be sinful for us?
