A fatwa in English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed (may Allah preserve him) answers the following question, "I have proposed to a girl who is studying with me in college. I have completed my studies, and I am now saving up by Allah's grace so that I can get married, but she is still studying. We agreed that she would put on niqab after we got married, but there is a great deal of harassment for any manifestation of commitment to Islam. They harass her on her way to the college but we are still very keen for her to wear niqab. We are very confused, especially in the light of this turmoil, and the situation is as you know. As she is about to finish her studies, her decision to give up her studies and put on niqab has met with strong objections from her parents. I hope that you will advise us, because we have great confidence in you, especially as her study requires her to go to the college regularly. The second matter is that I am now working in a company that specializes in web design. Praise be to Allah, I have not encountered any problems except that most of the time we use computer programs.

A fatwa in English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed (may Allah preserve him) answers the following question, "I am confused. All my life I interacted with others on the basis that I am a human being before being female and the slave woman of Allah as much as I could, and that based on this, whoever does good, whether male or female, will be rewarded, and whoever commits sin will bear the burden of sin. But after I got married I was surprised by some rulings which treat me as if I am not human, because they treat me as if I am only an object for the enjoyment of the man, such as the fact that the angels will curse me if I refuse intimacy under any circumstances, at the time when he is under no such burden if he refuses to have intercourse with his wife even if he does that to cause her harm. So he gets the reward of doing charity if he has intercourse with her and enjoys intimacy with her, and she will not have any reward, even if she responds unwillingly. If he upsets me and humiliates me in front of people, I have to make up with him and try to please him, otherwise the angels will curse me. And of course I have no right to differ with his opinion or to argue with him, and if I lose my temper I am not forgiven. And, as you have stated in a fatwa, the reward for praying in congregation is only for men and not for women. Is this what Allah has prescribed for us? Is this the fate of the Muslim woman if she does well and does what is required of her? If she avoids sin, she does not attain any virtue and if she falls short she is one of those who are cursed and expelled from the mercy of Allah, and do I and the accursed Iblees."

Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed (may Allah preserve him) answers the following question, "Some imams in mosques and professors of Islamic education, and others who are regarded as examples for other people, trim their beards – and some shave them altogether – and they let their garments hang too low. When you try to prove it, some people of weak character argue that these actions are haraam and they say to you: So and so is the imam of a mosque and he lets his garment hang too low, or So and so is a teacher of Islamic studies and he shaves his beard. We would like you to say something about such imams and those who are in similar roles, and the seriousness of what they are doing for themselves and for all other people."
