Day Questions

If I know a female very well, may I explain to her the temporary marriage contract via chat and even tell her to recite the vows via chat?

Explaining the temporary contract to her over the chat is permissible but conducting the marriage contract must be through direct voice conversation.

Can one engage in sexual activity with the wife while fasting, without ejaculation? Does this invalidate the fast?

This is permissible – as long as ejaculation is not intended – and does not invalidate the fast, although it is recommended to refrain from it.

Is it permissible for a woman to wear a wig instead of wearing the hair cover if other parts of the body that must be covered are covered, because it will not be her hair?

It is permissible if it fulfills the religious obligation of covering the hair, However, wearing a wig makes the woman appear as though she is without hijab, and this could discourage the wearing of hijab, so it becomes prohibited from this aspect.

I am a Christian living in the United States. I am curious as to why so many Muslims hate Christians. I have been to many Islamic Web sites on the internet, but no one can answer this Question. I have spoken with a Muslim friend who grew up in Saudi, and he told me about his education and what is taught to young children. It seems to me that what is taught is hatred towards Christians and Jews. How is this Justified?

What you have mentioned in the Muslims’ hatred for Christians and Jews does not represent Islam’s position towards the Abrahamic religions. It is rather the result of political conflicts and manoeuvring, where disputes are made to look like they are between religions. It is unfortunate that politicians use anything they can for their own agendas, even religion, which is a set of values and ideals expressed with affection, peace and justice. The followers of the Abrahamic religions used to live side by side with Muslims in history, and there was peaceful coexistence between them. These relationships were only disturbed by political frictions, and had nothing to do with religion.
