Day Questions

A father wants his daughter to marry someone who is a Sayyid. The girl finds someone who is not a Sayyed but he is a suitable good believer and asks the permission of her father to marry him. Her father became upset and disheartened. Although he is not happy with it at heart, he gave her permission to marry him because it is what his daughter wants and it will make her happy. Is this marriage (which is to be consummated) valid?

If the father gave his consent to her marriage then she is permitted to get married, even if the father did agree to it reluctantly.

If I enter the state of Janabah through ejaculation in my sleep, and there is very little time left for the Fajr prayer, what should I do? What if there is a difficulty in performing the ghusl at that time?

If the time is sufficient to perform ghusl but the ghusl would cause harm to the body, then it is obligatory to switch to the tayammum. If the time is not sufficient to perform the ghusl and the ghusl would not harm the body, tayammum is not obligatory. One can perform the ghusl even if this leads to offering the prayer outside designated time of the prayer.

Is it permissible to have physical contact between non-mahram men and women, by handshaking and the like?

It is not permissible to have physical contact between non-mahram males and females after both have reached the age of religiously recognized adulthood.

I am having my wedding, and my brothers do not want to attend due to the fact that there will be music played. My family and I never listen to music, but my fiancé and his family do listen to music. Is it permissible to listen to music in the said case

It is unlawful to listen to music which usually causes ‘tarab’. ‘Tarab’ means the psychological interaction with the music or singing, whether it leads to joy, sadness, pride or any other emotion. The mentioned situation does not justify playing music in the wedding and breaking the religious rulings.
