Ask Qul - Islamic QA

Pearl of Wisdom

'Giving the alms tax at the end of the month of Ramadan completes and constitutes fasting just as sending blessings on the Prophet (SAWA) at the end of the prayer completes and constitutes the prayer. Verily the one who fasts and yet intentionally does not pay the alms-tax due, his fasting is invalid.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

Kitab man la yahdurahi al-Faqih, v. 2, p. 183, no. 2085

542	istihaza enquiry	Eleven weeks ago I gave birth to a baby girl. However, since then I have been in a state of slight istihaza. when I read Sistani's Resalah I am under the impression that after the Nifas period and the 10 days Istihaza I would treat the blood to be Haiz if it fall during my Haiz habit (even if it does not bear signs of Haiz) and istihaza on other days. However, I have also been informed that since I am breastfeeding and it does not bear the signs, all of it is istihaza. Can you clarify this for me?	Answered

715	Eyebrow Tattooing	Salamul-Alaykum, Inshallah you are all well and fine. I would like to genuinely thank you for taking your time to answer our questions. May Allah Almighty reward you with the best of this life and the hereafter. My question is about cosmetic tattooing (also known as micropigmentation or semi-Permanent Makeup) which involves a permanent pigment being applied to the dermis of the skin of the eye-brow or other parts of the skin. This cosmetic treatment is normally done to simply help improve one's appearance and to define better ones eyebrows (because of little or poor 'natural' eyebrows)., If this is done for the intention of improving ones appearance in general (and not with the intention of attracting non-mahram men), is it still permissible in Islam? If it's not permissible is it because water cannot reach the underlying skin during wudu or ghusul etc? Thank you very much indeed for your help. May Allah SWT bless you in every way, Sister from Sydney	Answered

1084	ghusl	Im an unmarried female and recently I was thinking about hugging a particular man I know. Later i noticed a small clear liquid on my underwear. Is ghusl necessary for this?? I note that Ayotallah Fadallah says the secretion from a female whilst aroused is NOT semen and thus ghusl is not necessary before prayers. But theres lots of confusion around this and some sheiks say otherwise. When exactly should a female do ghusl if she hasn't actually had any intercourse? Thanks in advance.	Pending
1143	Abusive Marital Relations	In the Name of Allah Salaam, I have some questions about marital rights in Islam. What are the rights of a husband over his wife in a marriage? Does a husband have the right to only allow his wife to go to places that he consents to, wear clothing that he approves of, and only associate with people that he likes? Does a man have the right to keep his wife from going out, to not let her continue her education at university, for example, or to work? If a man gives a woman her dowry and they are legally married (nikah), must she surrender to her husband's sexual requests in any case, unless she has a Sharia excuse? For example, is her husband permitted to take her into any hotel room he wants, even though she is not comfortable with this arrangement, and would prefer to wait until they live together in their new home? If this is all permitted, this would mean allowing for the possibility of women to be in abusive relationships. Control,possessiveness, overprotectiveness, extreme jealousy, for a woman to feel that she always has to please her husband at the expense of her own self, and needs and requires permission from her spouse to go somewhere are not signs of love, but of abuse, and should not be excused. They are all signs of an abusive relationship.	Pending
