Day Questions
I am a married Muslim woman; I have formed a business partnership with non-Muslim married men to do business in beauty products. Is this against the religion?
It is permissible to buy, sell and trade in beauty products; also, it is permissible to have business partnership with men if it does not involve a prohibited act as a result of socializing with them.
If one joins the congregation of Maghrib prayer late, so that he needs to recite Sura al-Fatiha and another Sura while the Imam recites the four tasbihaat, is the follower supposed to recite the Suras in a usual audible voice or in a low whisper in such a case?
If one joins the congregational prayer in the third or fourth rak'a and the Imam was reciting the Tasbihat, he should recite the Fatiha and the other Sura in a low whisper.
I would like to ask what is the procedure of changing one’s marja of taqleed?
You can change your marja by starting to refer to the edicts of the new marja and acting upon them. However, the change is permissible only if it is based on religious evidence, for example, when it is proven to you that the new marja is more knowledgeable than the current one.
What does one do if one cannot get married at this time, and the only way to marry here is to approach somebody for temporary marriage through prohibited ways, like going to places of promiscuity?
Temporary marriage is a legitimate way to refrain from doing adultery, but it is impermissible to use such non-religious ways to reach it. One who does not have the means to achieve it by a legitimate way, should have patience and dependence on Almighty Allah, as He said: “And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him†(65:3).
