According to Islam can an unmarried girl wear baggy tracksuits in front of her brothers and father?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, Islamically there would be no problem for her to wear such clothes, as long as there is no cultural issue that sees this to be inapproproiate.

It might be the case that from a shar'i perspective something is permissible, but within the context of a culture, it is seen in a different way, and therefore one should also take that into consideration.

If parents get separated and the father clearly says that he does not want to be a part of his daughter’s marriage, is his permission still required for the daughter to marry someone?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Such statement can be because of anger and he might repent later. He should be asked again when his daughter is about to get married. If he says then that he is not concerned, then his father ( her paternal grand father) should be asked. If he is not alive or not available, then she can decide her marriage by herself.

My father and I have purchased a property in 70: 30 ratio. Now my father does not remember this anymore and he wants to distribute the property between his 2 children. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should politely remind your father. You can also inform family members who are concerned and make them aware of the reality of your share in the property. You need to be careful not to cause any insult or harm to the feelings of your father, even if you leave your share for him.

At the time of my Nikah my father-in-law did not let me or my father decide my Mahr. Can anything be done about it now?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you have agreed to the Mahr which was suggested by your husband or father-in-law, then it is valid Nikah. But if you rejected the Mahr before the recitation of the Nikah, you need to recite the Nikah again with an agreed Mahr between you and your husband.

Wassalam.
