Day Questions

Is it permissible to keep a leather wallet in a pocket while offering prayers?

Based on an obligatory precaution one should not carry a leather of any animal that was not slaughtered in accordance with the Sharia during the prayers.

What is your ruling on apostates who convert from Islam to another religion? In your expert opinion, is there a punishment? If so, what is it?

There is no doubt that they deserve a very high punishment in the Hereafter. Almighty Allah said: “As for those who disbelieve, their patrons are false deities. They bring them out of light into darkness. Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.” (2:257) The punishment in this life is not our duty.

I am a 22-year-old male who lives at home and goes to university. I dearly love my parents and financially support them as much as I can. However, my father doesn’t give me any privacy. He shows no trust in me and most of the time doesn’t allow me to go and do the things I want to do. Alhamdulillah, I observe my religion in a strict way, and I haven’t committed any act that would warrant my father to act so distrustfully. My friends are also religious Shia Muslims. My questions are as follows: (1) Even though I am 22 years old, is my father still allowed to not let me leave the house and go out with my friends or run errands? (2) Even though I’m an adult, is it permissible for my father to invade my privacy? (3) Is my father permitted to forcefully make me attend non-religious events?

The relationship between a father and his son should be based on mutual respect and love, since the father usually cares about his son and tries to raise him righteously. It is natural that the father watches his son’s behavior and tries to learn about his friends in order to protect him from making mistakes. The son should understand this and appreciate it. With the development of more trust between the two, the following and control decreases gradually when the father sees the good behavior of his son. If the father askes his son to do what does not correspond to the rulings of the Sharia, the son is not obligated to follow him although it is obligatory for the son to deal with his parents with good manners and respect.

Is there a maximum number of transfers of najasah? For example, if the najasah has been transferred to a first object, to a second object, will the third object become najis from wet contact too?

As long as the moisture is present between two objects, the najasah will transfer, however many times this may happen. There is no maximum number of transfers.
