Questions Asked at Final Event

Assalamu Alaykum,

There were a few questions from the sisters which were left unanswered in the last event. As promised, we will provide the answers on the blog insha Allah. If you have a question which you would like answered, post it as a comment and we will try answer it as soon as possible insha Allah.

Question: A lot of people do not realise or do not believe in the command of the Hijaab or the beard. Can you briefly go through its importance?

Answer: The following is an excellent book on the beard:


To read a book on Hijab, visit the following two links:


Questions: Please tell us what duas we can make to be successful.

Answer: Dua from the heart with sincerity will grant success. However, if one wants to read duas from the Qur'an and Ahadeeth then that is also correct. There are many duas that can be found, a very nice one is:

أللِّهُم النّفَعنِي بِمَا عَلَّمتَنِي وَ عَلِّمنِيِ مَا يَنفَعنِي
Allahumma infa'nii bimaa 'allamtanii wa'allimnii maa yanfa' unii
O Allah! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me.

However, one should not limit oneself to this dua only, and try to purchase a nice dua book and read from there, accompanying it with dua from the heart.

Question: Is tasbeeh a bid'ah? As I was told there is no proof that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used a tasbeeh.

Answer: The idea [of using a tasbeeh] is to count the Dhikr. Be it counted with the fingers or with beads, both are permissible. It is recorded in Abu-Dawood Shareef that some Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhu) had beads (seeds) which they used to use to count Dhikr. (Source: http://www.askimam.org/fatwa/fatwa.php?askid=4008fc2ed215488b12d636f6d1ac4a09)

Coming soon insha Allah:

Question: Is going to tabligh i.e. going out for 3 or 40 days haram?
Question: I have bought some skin care cream which has ingredients from the dead sea. Is it true that the dead sea is cursed? Should I use the cream?
Question: If I enter Paradise (Jannat) but my parents fail to do so, can I, as a Muslim ask Allah to allow them to also enter Jannat although (e.g. my father isn't a strong believer) their belief is really weak? But that also means that he will first get punished for his sins and then enter Jannat?

Salam... Many people have told me that doing a congregational dua after namaz is a biddah since its an addition to prayer. Can you clarify this please, with evidence from only Quran and Sunnah. Jazakallah khair

Salams, a brother told me not to take anything from the site IslamQA. He said it has a lot of things that are wrong in it. I been using it for 2 years now, and a very helpful site. Can you tell me if we should use it or not? If we are not allowed to use it, then what is the reason and can you also give me proof to the reason so it can be shown to my family.

Mainly its cos the way they go about making or stating their rulings. It doesn't quite go with verdicts of the 4 imams.
There's more reliable sites like www.muftisays.com , www.askimam.com and daruliftaa.

Anonymous, what you need to do is do as anonymous said. Go to your local Imam or an Aalim you trust and seek answers from them as on this blog you will only get comments thrown from two parties like a snowball fight.

If you have a Yahoo account, login and join Ask Imam Yahoo Groups http://groups.yahoo.com/group/askimam/ where you can ask the Mufti there and can receive an answer which will have its evidences.

Take care and make dua for everyone.
