Descent from the Prophet can also come from the maternal side as from the paternal

Among the Ottomans it was sufficient for one's paternal line of
descent to go back to our Prophet (saas) to be regarded as a sayyid.
However, it is also possible to be a sayyid on one's mother's side
only. The rank of sayyid goes back to the daughter of our
Prophet(saas) and Hazrat Fatima (ra), the mother of Hazrat Hassan (ra)
and Hazrat Hussain (ra). Our Prophet (saas) also had male children,
but these died at an early age. TheProphet's (saas) line was thus
continued through his daughter. As it can beunderstood, one can thus
be a sayyid throughthe maternal line as can be from the paternal . The
great Islamic scholars Ibrahim Hakki Erzurumi (1703-1780) and Abdul
Qadir Gaylani (1078-1166) were both sayyids on their mothers'sides.

Fathwa, - Unintentional mistakes insupplication are pardoned

Question
Salaam, I was supplicating to Allah and was also glorifying him and I
said "exalted is he high and above with what they associate with you
oh mighty Allah" by this I meant that Allah is the most high, and
aboveall and everything peopleassociate with him and he is one and has
no partners and associates. However I think I wordedit wrong and it's
been onmy mind I begged Allah to forgive me if I worded it wrong and
Allah knowsall and knows what I meant I'm just wondering do you think
Iworded it wrong or correctlty? Please reply tothis and May Allah
reward you for you time and help
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
That sentence is incorrectbecause it is said:"Exalted is He above…"
not "Exalted is He with…" as Allaah The Almighty says (what means): {
Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity. }
[Quran 17:43]
However, as long as you said that mistakenly and meant a correct
meaning,then there is no blame onyou. Allaah The Almighty (mentioning
the supplication of the believers) said (what means): { "Our Lord, do
not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. } [Quran
2:286] Thereupon, Allaah The Almighty said: " I did (i.e. I have
accepted your supplication). '' [Muslim]
Also, Ibn 'Abbaas narrated that the Prophet , said: " Allaah has
forgiven my Ummah (nation) for mistakes, forgetfulness and that which
they are forced to do. " [Ibn Maajah]

Fathwa, - Solving problems by reciting Soorah Al-Baqarah

Question
Assalam ualaykum Is it true according to Holy Quran and authenticated
Hadiths that reciting soorah Baqarah helps in solving the problems
even bigger than Ohud Mountain?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
isHis slave and Messenger.
We have not come across any specific evidence which states that Soorah
Al-Baqarah [Quran Chapter 2] helps in solving problems even if they
were like the Mountain of Uhud.
However, it was reportedin general that reciting it is a blessing as
the Prophet said: '' Recite Soorah Al-Baqarah as reciting it is a
blessing, and abandoning it is a cause of grief, and the magicians
cannot confront it. " [Muslim] - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Fathwa, - Married couple may live with strangers provided Sharee'ah rules are observed

Question
q1: is it allow for marriage couple in islam to live with someone in
their house, who were not relatives of either couple? q2: who is wali
in marraige? q3: what is the ruling regarding to the ownership of
properties ,such as cash, house any of such kind, and if the wife give
her any of such ,should he take and enjoy even her dawry. thank you
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
We will answer these questions in the following points:
Firstly, there is nothing wrong if the married couple live in the
house of relatives or strangers, provided that this does not cause any
religious violations like prohibitedmixing of men and women, or
entering upon non-Mahram women while there is no Marhram men, or
womentaking off Hijaab or exposing adornment in the presence of
non-Mahram men and the like.
Secondly, we have previously explained the order of the woman's
guardians in marriage in Fatwa 83338 , so kindly refer to it.
Thirdly, each of the spouses has his/her independent financial
liability and whoever gives up of what he/she has willingly while
he/she is healthy and hasa sound mind, then the other can benefit from
it.This includes the Mahr if the wife waived a part orall of it to her
husband. Allaah The Almighty says (what means): { And give the women
[upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts graciously. But if they give up
willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction andease.
} [Quran 4:4]
Also, it was narrated that the Prophet , said: " It is not permissible
to take the property of a Muslim except with his consent... " [Ahmad]
For more benefit, kindly refer to Fataawa 162471 and 92134 , which
clarify that the wife has an independent financial liability.
Allaah Knows best.
