Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

1) According to Islam, Mary Magdeline did not exist at the time of Isa (AS). Additionally, as Muslims we must strictly adhere to what the Quran and Hadiths has informed us.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The people of the scripture (Jews) used to recite the Torah in Hebrew and they used to explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. On that Allah’s apostle said: ‘Do not believe the people of the scripture or disbelieve them, but say: “We believe in Allah and what is revealed to us”‘.

2) It is believed that the origins of the Union Jack flag and St George’s flag is from the Christian cross and thus, it is totally impermissible for any Muslims whether children or adults to wear or keep any clothes, rings etc, that has the Union Jack flag or St George’s flag on them.

Also, to keep or wear any country flags shows and encourages nationalism, which is Haraam too.

One should remember that Islam does not recognise any flag but the flag of ‘La Ilaha Illallahu Muhammadur Rasulullah.’

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
