Day Questions

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for more than a year now and our goal is to get married in the future, but recently we found out that we cannot have children in the future and that it counts as a sin for my boyfriend if I don’t wear hijab. Is it true?

Dating that leads to sexual lust between unmarried couple is not permissible. Such intimate relationships outside of marriage are forbidden. It is also not permissible for the woman to be without the obligatory Hijab in the presence of a non-Mahram man without marriage.

My grandfather purchased a property. My grandfather had 9 children. Soon, unexpectedly, my grandfather passed away. At the time of my grandfather’s death, all his children were alive. The property was not distributed to them, but was transferred to my grandmother’s name. After 35 years, my grandmother died. At the time of her death, two of her children had already died and had children of their own. It has been more than 5 years since my grandmother died. The property is managed by one of her sons and he has taken the position that the families of his two deceased siblings are not entitled to any inheritance. Could you please let me know if the inheritance should be divided and distributed to all children, including the children of the deceased children?

If the sons and daughters of your grandfather gifted the property that they inherited from their father to their mother - your grandmother - and she took possession of this property, then she owned the property. When she passed away, those grandchildren whose parents died before the grandmother, do not inherit from the property. If the property passed to your grandmother as a legal formality, without her sons and daughters actually waiving their rights to it and giving it to her, then those grandchildren will have a share of the property.

How do I make myself tahir if I touch real leather of an animal that has not been slaughtered in accordance to Islamic religion? I would normally remove the najasah, then pour water over it a certain number of times, but in this case is there anything to remove?

If your hand comes in contact with the impure leather with dampness then it becomes najis even without the actual najasah being transferred to the hand. The hand can be made tahir then by washing it once with water. If the contact took place without dampness, then this does not make the hand najis.

If an adult man sodomizes another man, is it permissible for the sodomizer to marry the sister of the sodomized?

No, it is not permissible for him to marry the sister of the person he sodomized.
