Zina. Qur'anic Verse. Punishment

I was shocked by the verse regarding Zina and want to know if family members can administer punishment, or is that solely the responsibility of a judge?

Bismihi ta'āla

No, a family member cannot do that. It is the authority of the Islamic judge, in an Islamic government.

The family members must all just try to advice and guide.

Social Media

Is operating a horror content channel on social media permissible if it does not involve female characters or anything that challenges Allah such as ideas of Shirk?

Brother. Wedding. Haram. Marriage

As a teenage girl without the authority to refuse, I am concerned about attending my brother's upcoming wedding, which may involve Haram elements. I do not want to disobey Allah, but how can I manage this situation without upsetting my parents?

Bismihi ta'āla

Have you expressed your concern about this to them? Have you spoken about not only how it is haram, but also how it will deprive them of barakah and tawfiq in their lives? Try your best to politely explain all of this, and remind them.

If they still insist on having haram elements in their wedding, I would recommend you attend only the essential parts of the wedding, so as not to create conflict and future problems for yourself, as he is your brother. You can then excuse yourself, once there are haram things. If anyone objects, or gets upset, that is for them. You cannot obey or please someone at the cost of disobeying and displeasing Allah ta'ala.

And Allah knows best

Taqlid. Sunni-Shi'a. Marja'

I am a new follower of Shia Islam and wish to begin Taqleed. Could you please guide me on who are the top three recognized Maraji' of our time that I can follow? I understand I must follow one of them, but this matter is very confusing for me.

Taqleed is obligatory to keep based on authentic evidence from Quran and Sunnah. The most knowledgeable Marje' is to be followed. The highly learned scholars in Hawza know who is the most knowledgeable Marje'. It is not an option between three unless all of them are in the same level of knowledge.

Employment. Spinster. Mahram. Hijab

As a recent university graduate and unmarried woman striving to please Allah (swt) and adhere to the teachings of Ahlulbayt (as), can I work due to pressure from my family for financial support, knowing it may involve interaction with non-Mahram men?

You as a Muslim female are allowed to work to earn livelihood as far as you keep you full Hijab and protect your modesty from non Mahram men.

Wassalam.

Marriage. Parents

Is it true that Allah will ruin my marriage if my parents are not happy with it, even if the man is religiously suitable?

Virgin girl needs the permission of her father or her paternal grand father in her marriage.

Non virgin woman does not need her parents' permission in her marriage. Man also does not need permission in his marriage.

If your parents are not happy with your marriage for religious grounds like the person is non Muslim or non believer or non religious etc, you should avoid such marriage. If their disapproval is based on cultural or ethnic or economic reason which are not valid in Islam, you will not be harmed as far as you follow the teachings of the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Girl. Parents. Family. Sunni-Shi'a. Marriage

I am a 32-year-old Sunni-born woman who has practiced Shia Islam for six years. My parents insist I marry a Sunni, but I wish to marry within the Shia community. Their resistance is growing stronger each day. What should I do in this situation?

No one has the right to force you to marry whom they want against your wish. This is the Islamic rule in all Islamic Sunni and Shia sects.Forced marriage us invalid. It is your life and you have the full right to choose your husband who should be a suitable Muslim man who follows Ahlul Bayt (AS) like you.

You may try to convince your parents either directly with very polite way, or indirectly through persons who can convince them. You should never give up and put your life with a person who is not suitable for you or a person who might create obstacles in your way to Allah, the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Wassalam.

Travel. Qasr (Shortened Prayers). Salah (Prayers)

How are the 10 days of travel for Qasr prayers counted? If I leave the town after Fajr on the 12th, and I return home after Maghrib on the 22nd, is it obligatory to pray Qasr, or is this considered more than 10 days?

From the minute you reach your destination where you intend to stay for ten days, you should count 240 hours or more, then your prayer should be full. If you stay at that place less than 240 hours, then you prayer should Qasr.

Wassalam.

Depression. Sin. Repentance (Tawbah)

I have committed sins, with intention to repent, but now I feel remorse and confusion about whether my Tawba is accepted. I am experiencing great depression. Can you clarify if my true Tawba is accepted?

Allah (SWT) Says in Quran: Say: O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves ( by committing evil deeds) never despai if the Mercy of Allah, verily, Allah Forgives all sins, Truly He is Oft Foegiving, Most Merciful. Sura 39, verse 53.

If you really repent and decide not to sin again, Allah is The Opt Forgiving, The Most Merciful.

It is for you to save yourself if you are serious about yourself.
'Return to Allah and leave Shaitan immediately.

Wassalam.
