Procrastination in wearing hijaab
I converted to Islam one year ago. Since then, I have stopped drinking alcohol, started praying, started studying, and done many more things.

Saying 'yes' to wife's question: 'Is this Talaaq?'
Shaykh, what if he only said, "Yes, it is that," or just, "Yes," or "Ok," when I said, "I am considering this a divorce," and, "This is a divorce"? In the argument, I also said, "Is this a divorce?" and, "I am considering this a divorce." (I am not sure about "is this a divorce?") He said, "Yes, it is that."

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. How should three families be seated if they go out to a restaurant to eat? Traditionally, all of them sit together at one large table.

Woman working at home to earn living
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Is it permissible to sell items at home and earn money?

Hence, would it be sinful on me, being a woman (for whom staying at home.. More

Marriage contract concluded in different language without word 'Nikaah'
What is the ruling on a marriage ceremony in which the word Nikaah was not mentioned, as in the case in which American reverts say in English, “I officially take you as the head of my household,” or, “I make the union with you,“ etc. (but considering that all the requirements were met)? I ask because I read the hadith in which the Prophet, sallallahu.. More
