is haunted by the jinn
~
1 – In shops and gold souqs they sell a metal which is white like
silver; some people call it white gold and some call it platinum. Do I
have to pay zakaah on it, and is the rate of zakaah on it the same as
zakaah on yellow gold?
2 – There is a certain markthat appears on the forehead of some men,
which people call the signof prayer. My husband does not have this
mark even though he prays all the prayers regularly in the mosque and
is very religious. Is this mark what is referred to by the aayah
(interpretation of the meaning): "The mark of them (i.e. of their
Faith)is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of prostration
(during prayers)" [al-Fath 48:29]? Why don't all men get this mark,
and why don't women get it? Does its absence mean anything?
3 – We have been living in a rented apartment for five years, and we
have felt and noticed many things that make us think that the
apartment is inhabited by jinn. In the last few days I have seen a
glass cup in the kitchen, flying and throwing itself against the wall,
crashing to the ground in pieces of glass. We don't know what to do.
4 – I am a Muslim woman and like many others I amfilled with grief at
what America and the Jews are doing to the Muslims. I donot know what
is my duty before Allaah with regard to this matter, and what I can do
so that I will be free of blame before Allaah. Is there anyspecific
thing that I shoulddo?
Praise be to Allaah.
1 – If it is gold or silver, then zakaah has to be paid on it. To be
certain ofwhat it is, you should consult the experts in thatfield.
2 – This mark does not necessarily appear on the forehead of every
person who prays. Rather people vary in the nature of their skin, and
the fact that it appears does not mean that a person is righteous.The
well-known view among the mufassireen is that the phrase "The markof
them (i.e. of their Faith)is on their faces" refers to the light of
obedience.
3 – You have to read Soorat al-Baqarah in the house once a day for three days.
4 – Strive in making du'aa'for your brothers there, that Allaah may
answer your prayers; and give charity to them as much as you can.
