CAN I COOK FOR A HUSBAND WHO CHOOSES NOT TO FAST WITHOUT ANY VALID REASON BUT STILL CLAIMS HE IS A MUSLIM WITHOUT EVEN PRAYING?

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul ahad, 16th day of Ramadhan 1446AH, Sunday,  16th March 2025. 

*_CAN I COOK FOR A HUSBAND WHO CHOOSES NOT TO FAST WITHOUT ANY VALID REASON BUT STILL CLAIMS HE IS A MUSLIM WITHOUT EVEN PRAYING?_* BismilLah. 


A wife do not owe the duty of cooking or serving food or drink to her spouse who does not fast during the days of Ramadhan, if he does so without having any valid reasons such as sickness, or old age that would excuse him from fasting. Since we are not allowed to condone or help someone who is committing a sin by serving him food and drinks, you are also guilty of a sin if you do so.

It is common knowledge in Islam that skipping fasts without valid reason of sickness and travelling difficulties due to old age is considered a cardinal sin  if a husband does not have valid excuses for not fasting. The husband is guilty of even a gravier sin by not praying; even greater than all of these is his denial of his obligation to pray while still considering himself to be a Muslim. Being a Muslim is not by name but actions of the deen. 


If a Muslim denies his obligation to pray or fast, etc., he automatically goes out of the fold of Islam by such denial as such the marriage is considered even nullified. There is a general consensus of scholars in Islam on this issue. Lots of sisters are facing this dilemma of having husbands who have stopped praying, drinking alcohol etc but still claim to be Muslims just to keep the wife serving him, especially in Abroad. A sister in such circumstances should not cook or serve such man food during the days of Ramadhan. Such brother does not even deserve to be a husband, and the best option is to separate from him to your family home till he repents and starts practising. The same rule applies to a wife who chooses to stop practising. ALLAH Azzawajal knows best. 


*_May ALLAH Azzawajal accept our dua and keep guiding our misguided brothers and sisters from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
