Assalamu alaykum,
I wanted to know how I should deal with people that I am uncomfortable around, yet want to come to my home.
And Allah knows Best.

Assalamu alaykum,
I was at a blessed gathering this past weekend and sadly our discussion began with differences of opinion about how to maintain straight lines in a Congregational (jamaa'ah) prayer behind an imam.
Here is the scenario that created the opinions that I will list in the poll, insha-Allah:
If I stand in Jamaa'ah beside a brother to my left and another brother joins us to my right. What do I do if the brother to my right does not stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me?
Allah knows Best.

What if I know a brother or a family member who partakes in riba to acquire their home such as through an interest-based mortgage and I give them naseeha (sincere advice) that it is haram but they do not respond and continue to engage in it in the future. Do I reject their next invitation to their home because they are living in home acquired by impermissible means?

With the wealth of information about Islam available on the Internet and in bookstores, many students of knowledge and fellow Muslims have expressed their opinions after reminding us about certain facts on Islamic issues or topics. With the advent of free speech, how can we as Muslims ensure a Muslim scholar or student's opinion is distinguished from his facts/fatwa?

Let's discuss a hypothetical situation:
A husband marries one wife and they have three kids. She is incapable or does not wish to have any more children and the kids are old enough to go to school so she would like to work outside of the home. Islamically, it is permissible for her to do so if her husband allows it. However if he allows it, she is incapable of fulfilling his desires due to the increased workload outside the home and dealing with the children.
Based on the Option you choose, please comment on the questions or problems associated to it and how it can be addressed honourably and fairly, insha-Allah.
Halal Option 1: How else can her desires of working be addressed without compromising her husband's needs?
Halal Option 2: However, fasting on a regular basis will weaken him over the long term which would effect his work, especially considering the type of work he performs requires him to be at full strength for which fasting may affect his ability to work properly and maintain steady financial support for his home, wife, and children.
Halal Option 3: The first wife is capable of working and helps to support her children so the husband is not overburdening her by require less from her in fulfilling his desires due to the support of the second wife and the second wife and children not burdening him with more financial support. Eventually they share the responsibilities of maintaining the home and children.
Halal Option 4: Supports his children while his ex-wife works as a single mother. However, in this scenario, she looses the emotional gratification she acquired on a consistent basis, but can simply get that from her other family members or friends on an inconsistent basis. And the children lose their regular interaction with their father.
Any other options you can think of?
