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!"

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!"
