Plural marriage and fair treatment of co-wives, Dought & clear, - * She wants to marrya man but the law does not permit plural marriage. What should she do?

I am a recent convert to Islam. While I was studying Islam, but before I converted, I was dating a married Muslim man. We fell in love and we are still currently in a relationship. I feel extremely guilty!! I love this man, and he loves me. I understand that I will have to end my relationship with this man if we cannot find a an answer to our problem. He is feeling guilty just as much as I am. He has asked me to marry him but since he is already married and we are living in a country where polygamy is not allowed. Is there any wasy that we can have an Islamic marriage that is recognixed my Islam yet not recognized by the State, so that he does not get in trouble.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly: we praise Allaah for having guided you to Islam, and we ask Him to increase you in guidance and piety (taqwa).
Secondly: Islam permits plural marriage, even if you are in a country where it is not allowed. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four”
[al-Nisa’ 4:3]
According to the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari from Ibn ‘Abbaas, the best of this ummah are those who have most wives. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) practiced plural marriage, as did the Rightly-Guided Caliphs. There is scholarly consensus on this matter. The sister who is asking this question could marry this man in the presence of her wali (guardian) and two witnesses, and announce the marriage, so as to fulfil the necessary conditions of marriage. It is not essential for that to be registered officially. It is also not necessary for the first wife to know. This is if marriage if possible. If it is not possible then our advice to the sister is to forget about this man, so long as the matter is difficult. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty)”
[al-Talaaq 65:2]
“But if they separate (by divorce), Allaah will provide abundance for everyone of them from His Bounty”
[al-Nisa’ 4:130]
It may be better not to marry this man, and Allaah may cause her to marry another man. She is right when she says, “I understand that I will have to end my relationship with this man if we cannot find an answer to our problem.”
So she should focus her heart on worship, and learn the rulings of Islam and strengthen her faith and beseech Allaah to guide her and make her steadfast.

Is there a hadeeth which forbids hanging out children’s and infants’ clothes (on a washing line) after the sun sets or not? If the answer is yes, how sound is it?.

Praise be to Allaah.
There is no hadeeth in the Sunnah, as far as we know, to suggest that there is any prohibition on hanging out children’s clothes after sunset. Rather what is forbidden is for children themselves to go out after sunset, in the sense of letting them go out to play and so on.
And Allah knows best.

Da'eef (weak) hadeeths, Dought & clear, - * Holding Back of the Sun Until Adhan Was Called

I have heard lots of people saying, especially in India, that once
Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), due to some of the Sahabah
complaining about his voice or his pronunciation in adhan (call to
prayer), asked the permission for someone else to call the adhan (of
Fajr/early morning). After he called it, people got worried as a lot
of time had passed but the sun didn't rise like normal. So they went
to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), told him
the same and he replied that Allah has ordered the sun not to rise
until Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gives the call to adhan.
Please let me now if there is any authentic source where this incident
of the sun not rising because of Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him)
is mentioned.

Praise be to Allah.
There is no proof that the sun was held back for anyone except the
Prophet of Allah Yoosha' ibn Noon (peace be upon him). In fact the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stated that this
did not happen to anyone other than Yoosha' ibn Noon (peace be upon
him). This is seen in the hadeeth (narration) of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him), according to which the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "One of the Prophets went out on
a campaign… and he approached a town at the time of 'Asr (late
afternoon) prayer, or close to that time. He said to the sun: You are
under the command of Allah and I am under the command of Allah. O
Allah, halt it for me for a while. So it was halted for him until
Allah granted him victory."
Narrated by al-Bukhari (3124) and Muslim (1747).
In the version narrated by al-Imam Ahmad in al-Musnad (14/65) it says:
"The sun was not held back for any person except Yoosha' (peace be
upon him) on the day he was marching to Jerusalem.
Al-Shaykh al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This indicates that the sun was not held back for anyone except for
Yoosha' (peace be upon him). This is indicative of the weakness of the
reports which suggest that happened for anyone else.
It is appropriate to quote what we have come across concerning this …
Then the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned what has been
narrated about the same being held back for people other than Yoosha'
ibn Noon (peace be upon him) and explained what is wrong with these
reports. Then he said:
To sum up, there is no saheeh (authentic) report about the sun being
held back at all except this saheeh hadeeth. End quote.
Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (no.202)
To conclude, we have not come across any basis for the story about the
sun being held back from rising until Bilaal (may Allah be pleased
with him) called the adhan, in any saheeh or da'eef (weak) report, or
even in any fabricated (mawdoo') hadeeth that is known.
It is not permissible to speak of such things except on the basis of
sound proof and evidence. Otherwise it is speculation, and speaking
about Allah without knowledge.
And Allah knows best.
