What is the ruling of having azan or quran recitation as your mobile/cell ringtone?

Answer:

(Fatwa: 189/M=185/M)

It is not good to have Azan or Quran recitation as ringtone on one’s mobile. It lessens the importance of Zikr-ul-Allah, therefore it should be avoided.

Random Q&A

  I bought shares in a listed company over a period of 7 years.  The shares were bought at various prices; some were at a higher price than the current share price, and some were bought at a lower price than the current share price. Some were bought with my own money, and some were bought with money borrowed on a 0% credit card. I recently discovered that the company is haram because it has no earnings, except from interest, and has large debt on which it pays interest. I understand that I must sell the shares, and any profit made has to be donated to charity. I need some advice on how to go about selling the shares, as the total value of my holding is less than what I paid/invested. Some shares are in profit, the majority are in a loss.  There are a few options available: 1)      Wait until the total value of the shares is equal to the  money I invested, and sell. This means that some share will be in profit,  and some will be at loss, but the profit cancels out the loss. 2)      Sell shares as each lot/tranche of shares reaches the price that I paid for them. Donate any excess to charity. This means that it may take  a long time to dispose of the shares, as the price will have to at least double. In fact, the price may never reach what I paid. Do I need to treat the shares purchased by borrowing money on credit card separately to the shares purchased using my own money. How should I deal with transaction costs? If it cost me £12 to buy 10 000 shares at 10p, and it costs me £12 to sell the shares, I have lost £24.

I want your guidance on whether using Facebook and other social networking websites is halal or haram. Facebook is a place where the following happens: 1. Male and female interaction through chats, 2. Every sort of pictures (mehram and na-mehram), 3. Videos and music of every type, 4. On special forums and pages people gather to discuss about Islam whetherr they are eligible for it or not. 5. In addition to this in 2010 there was page on Facebook which held a competition of creating picture of our beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and due to this Facebook was banned in Pakistan and few other Muslim counties. Considering these issues is it haram or halal for a Muslim to use Facebook?
