Parents . Husband . Nikah
Is the Nikah still valid if a girl is married to a man but her parents have prevented her from living with her husband for over 8 years without any valid reason?
Zaid Alsalami, Shaykh Dr Zaid Alsalami is an Iraqi born scholar, raised in Australia. He obtained a BA from Al-Mustafa University, Qom, and an MA from the Islamic College in London. He also obtained a PhD from... Answered 2 years ago

Bismihi ta'ala

As long as the nikah was done, and talaq has not been recited, she is still considered married. 

However, why would her parents prevent her from living with her husband. That is very wrong and must be solved immediately. Either she lives with her husband, or she gets divorced. It is unfair for her to be in this situation.

Husband . Paradise . Wife
Would I be granted a husband in Jannah based on my own level of righteousness, rather than being the spouse of my current husband who is more pious and would likely be in a higher level of paradise?

When both husband and wife are in Paradise, Allah Grants both of them the best to make every one from them as the best for the other.

During my Iddah period, my husband and I engaged in intimate touching but did not have intercourse. Does this imply that we are married or divorced?

Wife . Husband . Sexual
Is it permissible for a wife to perform oral sex on her husband, and can a husband kiss his wife's private parts?
Zaid Alsalami, Shaykh Dr Zaid Alsalami is an Iraqi born scholar, raised in Australia. He obtained a BA from Al-Mustafa University, Qom, and an MA from the Islamic College in London. He also obtained a PhD from... Answered 2 years ago

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, these things are permissible, or rather even mustahab, as a form of foreplay. Our religion Islam encourages one to fulfil the sexual needs of the spouse, and not only their sexual needs. This is why foreplay is mustahab. 

Of course, as semen is najis, that would be the only concern, to make sure that najasah is not swallowed.

Husband . Wife . Forgiveness . Health
If a wife leaves her sick husband after taking care of him for 13 years, and he dies a year later, would she face punishment in Islam or on the Day of Judgment? How can she seek forgiveness for her actions?
Zaid Alsalami, Shaykh Dr Zaid Alsalami is an Iraqi born scholar, raised in Australia. He obtained a BA from Al-Mustafa University, Qom, and an MA from the Islamic College in London. He also obtained a PhD from... Answered 2 years ago

Bismihi ta'ala

If wife no longer wishes to be with husband, for whatever reason, she will not be punished, unless she has wronged him. If she no longer had the tolerance or patience to be with him, then she is not going to be held accountable for that. She probably did her best, and it could have been too overwhelming for her. 

This is more a moral situation, rather than a shar'i situation.

Husband . Family
Is it mandatory in Islam for the daughter-in-law to take care of her in-laws and fulfill household responsibilities?
Zaid Alsalami, Shaykh Dr Zaid Alsalami is an Iraqi born scholar, raised in Australia. He obtained a BA from Al-Mustafa University, Qom, and an MA from the Islamic College in London. He also obtained a PhD from... Answered 2 years ago

Bismihi ta'ala

No, it is not mandatory, and she does not need to do any household responsibilities for them, unless it is out of her own good-will and her kindness. 

Her focus should be on her new life with herself and her husband, and her only duty to her in-laws is respect them like her own parents, honour them, treat them well, but does not need to do anything she does not want to.

Her husband and her in-laws should of course know what Islam says, and should accommodate to this as well.

Abortion . Husband . Wife . Cheating . Fear . Pregnancy . Health . Lie . Infant
Is having an abortion at 7 weeks permissible due to the husband's physical and mental abuse towards the wife, including cheating, lying, and causing emotional distress, if the wife is concerned about the safety of the baby and her own mental health?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi, Sayyed Mohammad al-Musawi is originally from Iraq and heads up the World Ahlul Bayt Islamic League in London. Other than being involved in various humanitarian projects, he frequently responds to... Answered 2 years ago

No. Abortion is killing a human being in early formation. Abortion is not permissible at all except in the case of saving the life of the mother if pregnancy can kill her.

Woman . Woman . Husband . Man . Polygamy
Why are women required to cover themselves while men are not? Additionally, why are men permitted to have up to four wives whereas women can only have one husband?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi, Sayyed Mohammad al-Musawi is originally from Iraq and heads up the World Ahlul Bayt Islamic League in London. Other than being involved in various humanitarian projects, he frequently responds to... Answered 2 years ago

We believe in Allah's absolute Wisdom and Knowledge and Mercy,b that is why we never argue with any rule from Allah. We know that He Knows all the reasons even if we don't know. Real believers submit to all the rules which came from Allah (SWT) through His Messenger (SAWA).

We might know part if the reason but can never expect knowing full reason because of our limitations as human beings.

Woman covering her body might be related to the fact that woman in her nature is more attractive to men, that is why she needs to cover herself.

Woman is allowed one husband only at the time, because of her dignity and respect which part of her creation as a human female. Usually, noble females from any faith or religious or cultural background, don't accept nor digest having more than one husband at the time. That is part of her nature.

Zaid Alsalami, Shaykh Dr Zaid Alsalami is an Iraqi born scholar, raised in Australia. He obtained a BA from Al-Mustafa University, Qom, and an MA from the Islamic College in London. He also obtained a PhD from... Answered 2 years ago

Bismihi ta'ala

Hijab is an obligation, and it is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman to observe their hijab, according to the boundaries and requirements of dress code set for each gender.

It should not need to reach any form of punishment, because the Muslim should be proud and honoured to implement and practice his/her faith.
