Is it permissible for a patient who takes narcotic medicine to pray?On principle, an incident should be thought of as having happened at the closest time, and this applies to one who did ghusl, then noticed something on his body that prevented water from reaching the skin
I want to ask about the principle which says that an incident should be thought of as having happened at the closest time; what does it mean? Are there conditions attached to it, such as thinking that it most likely happened before that, and so on? Because I have read about it but I did not understand. For example, if someone does ghusl or wudoo’, then finds something that prevented water from reaching his body, such as dough and the like, and he does not know when it got on his skin and whether that was before or after he did ghusl, does he have to repeat ghusl, and does that also apply to wudu’ and other acts of worship? What is meant by the closest time? My second question is: if a woman is uncertain as to whether what is coming out of her is ordinary discharge or madhiy or something else, is it permissible for her to choose between them and follow the ruling that applies to what she chose?Response to those who say that fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) favours men
Is what I think correct? When I read fiqh and the different views of jurists, when the matter has to do with the rights of women, you will see that there are many different views, and some scholars’ views are biased towards men to make them easy for their own gender, whilst others are fair-minded. Thus men will adopt the view that suits them. I think that with regard to men’s rights over women, there are fewer differences of opinion. Don’t you think that jurisprudence is pro-men, which gives the world the impression that Islam is a religion that favours men, and that is because jurisprudence is masculine in nature, because in it you find views that most of the time do not pay attention to the situation of women, and most of the time it only pays attention to the situation of men. So ordinary people think that Islam favours men, when in fact that is not the case, for Allah, the Most Holy, is far above all of that, and Islam has nothing to do with some of these sexist views which stem from personal opinion. The problem is in the way some people present Islam, which gives the impression that it is a religion that favours men.Does a person who died of cancer as a result of smoking attain the status of a martyr?

Recently it has become common in many chat rooms for some who are regarded as being religiously committed to discuss various Islamic issues, such as the colour and quality of the hijab, and closing shops at the times of prayer, openly in front of ordinary people. Each person gives his view, for or against, or somewhere in between, as if it is a competition. In fact it has reached such a point that one of them described a Muslim sister in Canada who was wearing a black abayah and attracted a bunch of local people who found this off-putting look very strange! If someone argues back, they accuse him of being extreme and narrowminded, and not accepting of the other opinion. Even though the people who engage in this discussion are regarded as being religiously committed people, what is usually the case in these discussions is that no one cites shar ‘i evidence to support his view, or quotes the views of the scholars. When they discuss the matter they say: This is just my personal opinion and has nothing to do with fatwas, and the like. These discussions have become a source of conflict and resentment between committed people. What is the ruling on discussing religious issues in open gatherings among ordinary people? What do you say to those who run these chat rooms in which these things happen?The difference between qasd (objectives) and niyyah (intention) and the importance of intention in fiqh

1 – In shops and gold souqs they sell a metal which is white like silver; some people call it white gold and some call it platinum. Do I have to pay zakaah on it, and is the rate of zakaah on it the same as zakaah on yellow gold? 2 – There is a certain mark that appears on the forehead of some men, which people call the sign of prayer. My husband does not have this mark even though he prays all the prayers regularly in the mosque and is very religious. Is this mark what is referred to by the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers)” [al-Fath 48:29]? Why don’t all men get this mark, and why don’t women get it? Does its absence mean anything? 3 – We have been living in a rented apartment for five years, and we have felt and noticed many things that make us think that the apartment is inhabited by jinn. In the last few days I have seen a glass cup in the kitchen, flying and throwing itself against the wall, crashing to the ground in pieces of glass. We don’t know what to do. 4 – I am a Muslim woman and like many others I am filled with grief at what America and the Jews are doing to the Muslims. I do not know what is my duty before Allaah with regard to this matter, and what I can do so that I will be free of blame before Allaah.
