A question answered by Shaikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid regarding: “I am in a very emotionally difficult situation at the moment and cannot contemplate anything but my death. I cannot think of anything about my future or anything except death but even then I do not want to die now in the hope that Almighty and all merciful Allah grants me mercy for the sin I have committed. The problem is that over the past few months I have grown close to a female. I had no intention to form a sinful relationship at all. The reason I got close to her was to talk her out of the idea of her killing herself. You see she has been suicidal and keeps taking overdose, I tried to talk to her and teach her so she would not do this sin and save her from hellfire. But what happened is slowly things went wrong and a wrong relationship formed... we never had sex and I never had any intention to have sex. She is married. But the problem that has happened is that she claims that on occasion I entered her. I do not believe this because I did not take my clothes off but she was partially nude. I am in fear that even if I didn’t enter her, I may have done a sin. But if I did, then I fear I am doomed. I do not believe her because I have found that she does not have good intentions and she may have tried the excuse if being suicidal just to get close to me... I am very disturbed now and cannot sleep or do anything. I regret what has happened and pray to Allah for forgiveness. All I wanted to do was to save someone from hell and now I may have destroyed my own self.”

A fatwa in English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed (may Allah preserve him) answers the following question, "I seek your advice regarding a matter that became widespread on the internet. This is writing fabricated reports and innovated supplications on forums. We do not know if those reports and supplications are sound or weak. People became attached to such things; they forward them to one another via the internet and mobile phones. Among these supplications I read a supplication that shook the heavens: “Oh All Loving, Oh All-Loving! Oh Lord of The Mighty Throne! Oh Who creates from the very beginning and restores life! Oh Doer of All that He intends! I ask You by the light of Your Face that lightened Your Throne, and ask You by Your Power by which You control All creatures, and by Your mercy that comprehend every thing, There is no God except You. Oh Who Helps! Help me” Then I read that this supplication is innovated. So many similar things are being spread. What shall we do when we find such reports in days where temptations are so many? I seek your advice regarding this matter so that I put it on forums, hoping that it limits such mistakes. Please remember to make supplication for me, make supplication that Allah gives me success in my study, ease our anguish, and bless us with righteous offspring and to keep them on the straight path. Make supplication that Allah cures the Muslim patients. May Allah reward you and bless you with the high paradise! May he make the knowledge you provide beneficial for all Muslims!"

This is a terrible problem for me, because I don't want to lie, but it embarrasses my husband if he cannot fulfill my pleasure. This pretending is hard to stop, and also extremely embarrassing for me to admit to my husband. Please help me, and also remember me in your supplication!"
