What is the destiny of isolated tribes from Amazon/Africa who have no interaction with the outside world in the afterlife? Are they condemned to Hell if they never had the chance to learn about Islam or the teachings of Ahlulbayt (AS)?
Zoheir Ali Esmail

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. According to the school of Ahl al-Bayt (as) Allah is Just and so He will only take people to account to the extent that is fair. If someone didn't have the ability in this life to learn and understand about Islam through no fault of their own they will not be judged like someone who knew about the truth of Islam and covered that truth up. This principle holds in all times and places including the modern world. So they would not be condemned to hell.

I do my 5 daily prayers, however I do listen to music and was wondering why people are saying it is Haram? I always do my best to read the Quran and fast during Ramadan as well. So would I be going to hell just for listening to music?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Islam is life does not mean only praying the 5 daily prayers and fasting during the month of Ramadhan, but include all our life like what to eat and what not to eat, what to drink, what not to drink, what to wear, what not to wear, what to listen to and what not to listen to. Real Muslim obeys Allah in every act in his/her life.

'Listening to sinful music is not permissible in Islam. Some persons like listening to such music despite the fact that it is not permissible. They should try their best to obey Allah rather than obeying their desires.

Will some women go to hell for not wearing Hijab?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Wearing full Hijab is compulsory for females just like praying Salaah, fasting, etc. This means that it is an  Order from Allah. Every Muslim must respect and follow the orders of Allah as much as possible.

Wassalam.
