Day Questions

If my father does not accept my marriage to a particular girl, is the marriage still accepted by Allah?

The acceptance of your father does not affect the validity of your marriage since it is not mandatory for the son to have his father's permission in getting married. However, try to convince him of your decision since the father has a great position of respect and appreciation from his children in Islamic ethics.

What is the kaffara of eating or using perfume in ihram?
