Custody of Children By Mufti Ebrahim DesaiPosted: 27 Zul-Hijjah 1423, 1 March 2003 Q 1.) My cousin-brother’s wife died after giving birth. Now the child is with my cousin’s father and mother. He is working abroad. His father-in-law and in-laws claim that the child should be with mother’s mother. We think that the father of the child — and no one else — is fully authorized to decide where the child should be. [Muhammad Yahya] Q 2.) What are the laws of Shari’ah pertaining to Custody and maintenance of children in the case of divorce or in the event of death of one of the spouses?

I was diagnosed with Chron’s Disease a year ago, and I have tried all types of medicines which have only made my condition a lot worse. Now I am at a point where I do not use medicines at all, and pray my pain will be relieved. I am the oldest child and I am feeling like a burden to my parents. I researched online for remedies and found that marijuana can be used as a remedy for the symptoms of Chron’s disease. I am very helpless because I am not sure if it would be permitted in Islam to use marijuana if it’s for medicinal purposes. I am not a pot head. I don’t smoke. I am a practicing Muslim and I try my hardest to be as good as I can. Please help me find a fatwa for this predicament. My condition is getting worse by the day.

I was hoping you could shed some light on this matter. My wife has given birth a few months ago and her maternity leave is over. She was working in a female environment and now it is time for her to go back. My current situation is that her wage is sufficient for us to survive on but my job isn’t. So we made mashwhera and decided that rather then we both go to work and put the child in childcare, she would go to work and I would stay at home and look after our child. I have been ridiculed by many brothers in the masjid where I perform salah, saying that this is incorrect and that this is the reason why so many of the youngster are going astray, as they miss out on the mother’s love. I was wondering if I had done the correct thing or should I reconsider the situation where I work more hours to compensate but then that would mean I would see my child less. I hope your words of wisdom will enlighten me to act upon what is best for my deen and family.
