Seeking Forgiveness and Reconnecting with Allah After Zina

Q: I had complete relations many times with a boy without nikaah. Now I am so guilty I apologize to Allah. But what may I do that Allah forgive me and I become close to Allah. How is it possible? please help me.

A: Sincerely repent to Allah Ta’ala from the bottom of your heart and make a firm resolve that you will not return to this sin again. All those mediums that can lead you to this sin or any other type of sin (e.g. internet, TV, cellphone, joining wrong company, wrong literature, going to wrong places, etc.) remove it from your life so that this does not tempt you from falling into this same sin again. Remain in pious company and observe strict purdah from all na mahrams. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/2704 and http://muftionline.co.za/node/2…

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

  can you please provide clarification on the below, I have my haircut with scissors all over, however to make it presentable the hairdresser blends the top of my hair with the side of my hair with scissors , it is longer at the top and shorter on the sides and back but there is no visible line to make this noticeable and is not a (short back and side), although it is more than 2 lengths, i have had this haircut all my life and have not copied any celebrity just something that suits my head, and really i do not look like a thug or any of the sort it just looks presentable.  1.      Qaza’ is impermissible because of the following Hadīth:   عَنْعُمَرَبْنِنَافِعٍ،عَنْنَافِعٍ،عَنِابْنِعُمَرَقَالَ: نَهَىرَسُولُاللَّهِصَلَّىاللهُعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَعَنِالْقَزَعِ . قَالَ: وَمَاالْقَزَعُ؟قَالَ: أَنْيُحْلَقَمِنْرَأْسِالصَّبِيِّمَكَانٌوَيُتْرَكَمَكَانٌ[iv]   Translation: Umar bin Nāfi’ that Nāfi’ narrates that Ibn Umar radhiallahuanhuma said: Rasulullahsallallahualaihiwasallam prohibited us from Qaza’. IbnNāfi’ enquired: what is Qaza’? He replied: “To shave one part of a child’s head and leave the remaining part unshaven.”   Some of the haircuts mentioned above fall under the ambit of Qaza’ such as the: crew cut, flattop, rattail and mowhawk (when part of the head is shaved).
