Respected Mufti Sahib Assalaamualaikum,please answer the following Jazakallah.Question1-Mohammeds Money( whole wages)was taken from him by his step mother without his will,the step mother gave the money to Mohammeds Father,when Mohammed wanted Money to spend on his family(wife children) they would not give the money,a total of 37 thousand pounds was taken from Mohammed without his will, many people know that there money was taken without there will,his Father has passed away is it permissible for Mohammed to take the money which was taken without his will from his Fathers wealth which he has left behind and then distribute the remaining to the Inheriters? Note- My opinion which is supported by many other Mufti sahibs is that it is permissible for Mohammed to take the money from his Fathers wealth which was taken without his will,I would like you to approve this,Jazakallah Wassalaam    

Answer:

Muhammad’s wealth was taken from him by his stepmother against his will, therefore it is permissible for Muhammad to take his money (£ 37 000) from his father’s estate and then distribute the remaining estate to the inheritors.  It has been narrated by Abi Hurrah Ar-Raqqaashi (R.A.) that he narrates from his uncle that Nabi (S.A.W.) said:  “Beware!  Do not oppress.  Beware!  It is Haraam to consume a person’s wealth except with his consent.”  (Mishkaat, Page 255, Hadith 2810)

About 2 years ago I had very severe problems with doubts in taharah and salat. AlhamduLillah, these times are far away, and I feel myself much more comfortable. But unfortunately now I suffer from some new doubts which appeared recently. The first problem is regarding materials which doesn’t penetrate water. Before wudhu I’m in doubt whether there are some of them on my heels and near nails. For example, if I have few yarns stuck to my heels, I don’t know whether they are synthetic ones (which don’t penetrate water) or not. Because there are just a few yarns, I can’t advocate whether they penetrate water or not. Also sometimes I find hair stuck to my nails or heels, and again I’m in doubt whether it penetrates water or not. Also if I have some dirt, I’m also in doubt whether it contains some small amount of water-not-penetrating materials. So, my wudhu becomes quite a long procedure, where I try to look at my heels and nails thoroughly trying to remove all the dirt, yarns, stuck pieces of hair. The second problem is in washing my face. I know that we can’t wash one limb with water which was used for washing another limb. So the doubt is as follows: if washing the face my palms will touch hair, I start to think, that on my hands there is water which was used washing my hair, not the face, so I wash my hands, and continue washing the face with new water. The other problem is that I don’t know what part of eyes should I wash – I understand that we don’t need to wash eyes themselves, but what’s about the red area which is near roots of eyelashes (above, under, right and left to eyes)?
