  • I have inquired about this topic before but I think the only relevant answer I recieved is about encouraging the good and forbidding the evil. I understand this concept – it’s the reason why I’ve been inquiring about this issue – so that I can encourage the good and forbid the evil. But let me start by restating the problem – I know someone who sexually molests children and I would like to help him stop. What exactly does Islam say about this behavior and about how we can stop it. Please help me because I’ve searched for quite some time, without any receipt of a concrete answer.

  • I am a student who unfortunately has a lot of school loans. My question is, can I go to Umrah using this money? Answered by: Mufti Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf Assalamu alaykum In the name of Allah, Most Gracious Most Merciful. It would be permissible for one to go for Umra, even if one is in debt. This is if the traveling will not delay the repayment of the loan due upon him. If going for Umrah will cause him to delay in his repayment then it would be prohibitively disliked to travel unless permission is granted by the creditor (as explained by Ibn Abidin in Radd al-Muhtar). Please remember that unnecessarily delaying in repaying a loan and incurring interest is not permissible, and highly sinful. Wassalam Mufti Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf Source

  • I would like to know if it is permissible to buy and sell gold for profit. My understanding in the past has been that transactions where a certain amount of gold is purchased at one price and the same amount sold at another (higher price) are not permissible as the money comes into the category of riba. Is this correct? I have an opportunity to buy into Gold index fund. These are funds/stocks that are based purely on the price of gold. The price of these funds will fluctuate depending on the price of gold. Am I allowed to invest in such funds?
