Ask A Question About Islam And Muslims

15 Questions

I have recently realized that I have anger issues and am always losing my temper with my family. How should I act when I am in the heat of anger and pain? How can I avoid getting angry in the first place?
Amina Inloes

This is a big question - many people have challenges in their personalities or temperaments that are long-term projects to work on. However, here is something that you could consider and see if it has any helpful advice ("Imam Ali and Islamic Anger Management by Shaykh Mohamed Ali Ismail")

(I recall he did a workshop some years ago at an Islamic event on practical tips for anger management but I don't know if it is available online; you could try to find it)

Also if you haven't already, you could look through books such as this: https://www.al-islam.org/jami-al-saadat-collector-felicities-muhammad-mahdi-naraqi
 
Are drugs like marijuana, that may be legal when used to treat pain, allowed in Islam?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No it is not allowed. Even if it is considered in some countries as
legal, that does not make any difference because it is an intoxicant
and every intoxicant is Haraam (forbidden) in Islam and the change of the laws will not change our religion. Many countries consider alcohol as allowed
although Islam has forbidden it. We abide by the rules of Islam
wherever we live. ‘There is no cure in any intoxicant’ as the Hadith
from Imam Ja’far As Sadiq (AS) states.

Wassalam.
Does any otherwise Mustahab act that causes pain to one's wife become unlawful to perform for the husband?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Any act which causes pain to any one else ( except the enemies of Allah) is forbidden and Haraam.

Being good to your spouse is one of most important duties in Islam.

If any recommended act cause pain to your wife, you should not do it, because avoiding Haraam is before doing a recommended act.
