Marriage

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?"

A fatwa translated into English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed answers the following question, "I have been married for approximately two and a half years but my husband does not become intimate with me except every three or five months approximately. He always gives excuses such as sickness or being bewitched or lack of financial stability. He does not show me any affection at all. Every time I speak frankly to him about the matter, he comes up with ready-made excuses. Please note that he does not suffer from any physical problems, as he says, and he refuses to go to the doctor. In the end, I told his family about the matter and they spoke to him, but it was of no benefit. He is putting pressure on me to seek treatment in order to become pregnant and I do not know how it can happen. I am fed up and I do not know what to do. If my family finds out about my situation, this will definitely result in divorce. Please note that we have been to a number of religious shaykhs, all of whom confirmed that the evil eye is involved, but nothing has helped us. To be frank, I am afraid that I may fall into immoral actions. I hope that you can explain to me what I have to do, and in the case of divorce, what are my rights?"

A question answered by Shaikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid regarding: "I divorced my wife irrevocably but I want to take her back. I know that tahleel marriage (i.e., marriage to another man in order to get divorced from him so that she can go back to her first husband) is haraam, and that in order for me to marry her again, she has to marry another person in a genuine marriage, not one that is a trick in order to make it permissible for me to marry her. All of these things will take time. Is there any other, shorter way for me to take her back?"

Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed (may Allah preserve him) answers the following question, "I have a problem with my husband i.e. I know that I am supposed to go to him when he calls me to his room, even if I'm not in the appropriate mood. I also know that lying is a despicable thing, but pleasing my husband is utmost thing on my mind. So is it wrong of me to fake having a sexual climax with my husband? 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!"

Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed (may Allah preserve him) answers the following question, "What is the Islamic ruling on marrying someone who has hepatitis B, knowing that this disease is transmitted sexually and through the blood, and may be also transmitted via saliva (although there is no medical consensus on the latter)? The question here is about a man who has the virus but his liver is healthy, i.e. he is a carrier of the virus only, which means that the virus is hidden in some tissues such as the liver and it is not multiplying, but the possibility that it may revive and become active remains constant. The woman whom he wants to marry has been vaccinated against this disease previously, and the doctor says that there is no danger to her from the virus in this case, and Allah knows best. If marriage is not forbidden in this case, we hope that you can advise the sick person as to how he should speak about this disease when he proposes marriage; for example, when exactly should he tell the woman and what should he say?"
