Day Questions

I just wanted to know if dancing is haram. I know that its haram to dance in weddings and in front of others and you have to be married to dance and that is only in front of your husband, but what if you are not married, is it completely that you are not allowed to dance at all?

Dancing is not prohibited by itself. If it was associated with a prohibition like sexual excitement to other than the husband then it is prohibited. If it is based on musical rhythm then it is unlawful based on compulsory precaution.

Is marriage of Sayyid woman to a non-Sayyid man allowed?

There is nothing in the Holy Quran or in the traditions of the Prophet and of the Ahlul-Bait (peace be upon them) that prohibits such a marriage.

If you do not, a big disorder and sedition will occur". The Messenger of Allah himself implemented this practically according to what is narrated by Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him): "The Messenger of Allah married Dhubaa, the daughter of his uncle Zubair ibn Abdil-Muttalib to Miqdad bin Amr. He did that to show that the marriage is simple, for you to act similarly, and to know that the “noblest among you, in the sight of Allah, is the most pious amongst you”. Zubair was a brother to Abdullah (the father of the Prophet) and to Abu Talib
