Ask A Question About Islam And Muslims

If a Sayyeda girl commits Zina with a non-Syed boy and repents, can they marry later? Are Sayyeds considered superior in Islam or do they have different Sharia laws?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Yes, she can marry. Why should she not be able to marry. She did haram, and repented. None of this has anything to do with her being a Seyyidah, and we all know that Islam does not give superiority to any race or group of people or person. The only person that is better than others is he/she with better piety.

And Allah knows best
My wife asked for my opinion on courts that don't follow Sharia law. I don't believe in man-made courts, but we live in a country without Sharia. She called me a Kafir and accused me of Shirk before leaving. What should I do in this situation?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Whatever your view may be about man-made laws and courts, it has nothing to do with shirk and kufr. It seems the issue your wife has with you is not about courts. What you should is try to mend the relationship, if you can, and avoid having these kind of arguments.

Are Muslims allowed to create a civil will wherein they can distribute their wealth as per their own preferences, rather than complying with the Islamic Sharia will mentioned in the Holy Quran?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah

A person can only have a will(written or spoken) up to 1/3 of their wealth and if it goes beyond this limit, the legitimacy or efficiency of this will is dependent on the permission of the rest of the heirs, for example if one decides that all his house which is worth $1m be for one of the heirs, this will is only accepted up to $333,333 and the rest will be given to him unless the other heirs accept the will. Otherwise this person will have 1/3 of the house as a result of the deceased will and will also have a share in the 2/3 of the remaining according to inheritance rules.
Is it true that a husband is lawfully allowed to murder his wife, according to Shariah, if she is caught commiting adultery or is an adulteress in general?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. Husband is not allowed to murder his wife but he can report his authentic evidence to the Islamic authority (Haakim Al- Sharee'ah).

Wassalam.
