يغطي عيوب المرء كثرة ماله يصدق فيما قاله و هو كذوب و يزري بعقل المرء قلة ماله يحمقه الاقوام و هو لبيب
The man’s abundance of wealth covers up his shortcomings He is believed in what he says while he is a liar And a man’s lack of wealth belittles his intelligence. The people take him as a fool while he is intelligent

Q. Imaam, i am addicted to bad things. I am addicted to zinna (adultery). Can you give help or advice? (text message)
Answer:
- know and acknowledge that it as a haram act
- After every salah, ask Allah (Subhanahu Wata’Ala) for forgiveness
- Just think if the person you are committing adultery with to be your mother, sister, aunt, etc. Would you like people sleeping with mother, sister, etc. whilst them not being married to you?
- impose a penalty on yourself. give $100 to a person you dislike as a penalty for your zina. $250 to a poor person, etc
- Be in the company of people that don’t flirt
- Go to the musjid for all your prayers
Allah certianly knows best.
Q. you answer about menses and prayers. How can a woman in menses keep her (young) husband happy? (sent to personal email box)
A. You can do all that which is halaal except the main act of intimacy known as jima in arabic
- It would be best to abstain from actions that are inclusive of anything between your (female) navel and knees. Best to also keep this area concealed from him in a tasteful manner
- You can touch, hug, kiss, etc.
- Just keep him happy with all that which is hallal. He must do likewise for you. Just keep him away from other woman and he must help keep you away from men that are haram for you. This will also keep your relationship safe guarded from many social ills
Allah certainly knows best.
Q. Can a hotel patron take ‘baby’ soaps, shavers, lotions, note pads, pens and other complementary gifts from hotel rooms? What can be taken without it being theft?
A. Things given to you for your usage as ‘gifts’ or as part of making your stay comfortable at a hotel/motel would remain permissible for you to take home with you. These ‘takings’ generally falls into the category of complementary gifts and function as an enticement to clientele.
To take away bed sheets, blankets, towels, towel racks, etc. would not be allowed, unless agreed upon. It is clearly understood that these items remain for in-house usage.
It would be best for you, if you are in doubt, merely consult with guest services and ask them for clarification as to what are the consequences if certain items are taken from the room. There response would be an indication of what would constitute theft or a gift towards its patrons.
Allah Certainly Knows Best.
