A fatwa in English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed answers the following question, "Instead of offering salaat al-istikhaarah, some people open the Holy Qur’an randomly, then they look for anything in the page that they have chosen of the mushaf to give them a hint to help them make their decision. For example, there is a married daughter who came to live with her parents, because her husband is not giving her her rights, and she wants to get divorced. Her mother opened the mushaf (at random) and there was the story of Moosa (peace be upon him) and his mother, (where Allah said to her), “But when you fear for him, then cast him into the river.” (Al-Qasas: 7). From this story, she understood that her daughter should go back to her husband. Can you explain this matter to me?"

A fatwa translated into English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed answers the following question, "My sister-in-law will be getting married soon. She is worried about the type of boy she can get married to. To be specific, she has asked me whether it is valid to get married to a person who is a strong supporter of the Mawlid or Milad-un-Nabi practice. I do understand that this practice itself is a heresy in Islam. However, the difficulty is whether one can get married to such people who practice Mawlid. In New XXX, the people involved in this practice do this as an act of worship. People would be invited to attend this ceremony where various hadiths are read, songs are sung and dua is made. People actually stand and sing! I hope this is the practice the fatwaa on your site refers to. The question is whether one can marry those who do this practice. The more difficult question and the one I am afraid to ask is whether these people are Muslims. Sheikh, you do not have to answer the second one if it is not wise to?"
