Fathwa, - She says someone called Al-Faarooq visits her heart to teach her Quran

Question
Hi I have a friend who is 19 years of age she is VERY religious and
inshallah will have memorized the whole Quran by the end of this year
Inshallah. She told me about some "man" called the farooq)الفاروق(
that comes to her not by image or by voice but by heart? As in Ican't
hear him if he talks she can only hear him in her heart and she said
hewon't come if she's on her period and he will only come if she reads
the morning and eveningduaas and he helps her memorize the Quran and
hadeeth and he told her he is not a jinn or a angel. She never lies
and her life is a very bad one where her dad comes in at night
sometimes and tries to touch her but shedoesn't allow it and she is
scared one day she won't be able to stop cuZshe has no where to go and
she has other bad things in her life that have happened where once
when she was five she was blind for a couple if years but then
regained her sight and this "farooq" came to herafter her protector )
her grandmother( died . He helps her with her problems and she tells
him everything and the only thing he wants fromher is for her to
spread islam that's it she is sunniof course so he is not trying to
spread the wrong word and she knows soooo much bec of him and I'm
confused bec I do believe her but I don't know can this be true? She
said he only goes to a person that he is sure can memorize the Quran
and learn about islam and he told her he does not know the futureso
not to ask him about itbut he can interpret her dreams and our dreams
too and he basically triedto lead her to the righteous way but she
CANNOT see him ever or hear his voice out loud only in her mind do
they talk? She tried to see if he would leave her aloneso for one year
she nevercalled for him and he did leave her alone so that means if
she does want him to leave he would but have u ever heard of a farooq
going to a religious person and helping them memorize the Quran with
beautiful terteel and spread the word of islam? Jazakom Allah khayr
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.
There is no such man called the Faarooq who comes to those who are
religiously committed to help them. It is most likely that these are
illusions which that girl suffers from. We advise her to keep doing
good deeds, offer acts of worship, be keen on having the company of
good women, seeking the beneficial knowledge, and reciting recommended
Ruqyah and Athkaar. There is no harm if she visits a Muslim
psychiatrist.
If what she mentioned about her father is true, then she should beware
of him and avoid being in seclusion with him. Allaah Knows best.

Fathwa, - Marrying a woman whom one's father or sontouched with desire

Question
assalamualaikum,brother...my question is a bit confusing i guess..i
want to ask that if a person touches a girl with emotion,does the girl
become haram for the person's son to marry that girl?...and if the
father in law touched that daughter in law with no emotion before the
marriage of the son and the girl..can the son marry the girl?
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.
If a man touches a woman with or without sexual desire, this does not
make her prohibited to his son or father for marriage. The woman only
becomes prohibited to a man )for marriage( ifhis son or father married
her. Prohibition takes effect upon concluding the marriage contract,
even if the marriage is not consummated.
For more benefit, kindly refer to Fatwa 83626.
Allaah Knows best.

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 are not aware of any evidence that confirms the possibility of
causing harm to you. However, we ask Allaah to protect our dear sister
who repented sincerely and fortified herself with Athkaar and reported
supplications from the effect of that sin and the evil of magicians
and sorcerers; for whoever repents from sin is like the one who did
not sin as it was stated in the Hadeeth.
The Prophet, said: "Recite Soorah Al-Ikhlaas and Al-
Mu'awwithatayn)Soorah Al-Falaq and Soorah An-Naas( three times at dawn
and dusk. This will suffice you in all respects." ]At-Tirmithi,
An-Nasaa'i, Abu-Daawoodand Ibn Maajah[
Finally, it is worth noting that it is prohibited to ask astrologers
and soothsayers or believe what they say; for the Messenger of Allaah,
said: "Whoever goes to a soothsayer or fortuneteller and believes what
he says hasdisbelieved in that whichwas revealed to
Muhammad."]At-Tirmithi[
Allaah Knows best.

Islam the religion of mercy

The Prophetonce kissed Al-Hasan bin 'Aliwhile Al-Aqra' bin Haabis was
in his presence. So Al-Aqra'said to him: "You kiss your children. I
swear by Allaah, I have ten children and I never kissed any one of
them!" So the Prophetsaid:"He who does not show mercy )to others( will
not be shown mercy )by Allaah(."
Verily, in Islam, mercy encompasses this world and the Hereafter, as
well as humankind, animals, birds and the surrounding habitats. Allaah
Says)what means(:"And My mercy encompasses every thing."]Quran7:156[
Allaah has ascribed Mercy to Himself and He has also describedHis
Prophets, may Allaah exalt their mention, and righteous servants as
being endowed with it. Allaah Says )what means(:"Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allaah and those who are with him are severe against the
disbelievers and merciful to one another."]Quran 48:29[
Allaah has made his sending forth of the Prophetas a mercy to all of
creation, as He Says )what means(:"And We havenot sent you )O
Muhammad( except as a mercy to the worlds."]Quran 21:107[ The
word"worlds" )'Aalameen( is general and includes the world of the
humans, the world of the Jinn, the world of the animals, the world of
the birds, as well as the nations found on land and in the sea.
Allaah has commanded that mercy be applied to every thing and in every
action. Thus, even when you slaughter a sacrificial animal, you show
mercy to it by saying 'Bismillaah' )In the name of Allaah( and by
sharpening yourknife )so that it will be a quick and painless death(.
The Prophetsaid:"Verily Allaah has prescribed Ihsaan )goodness( for
everything. So when you slaughter, then slaughter in a good manner,
and when you kill)in war(, then kill in a good manner. And let each of
you sharpen his blade and let him spare the animal he slaughters from
suffering."
It is reported that Allaah forgave a prostitute from the children
ofIsraelwho showed mercy to a dog that was dying from thirst. She
filled her shoe with water and then taking hold of the dog'smouth, she
gave it the water to drink. Allaah appreciated what she did and
forgave her sins.
Once our Prophetsaw that one of his Companions, may Allaah be pleased
with him, grabbed the chick of a lark, and itbegan screeching over the
heads of the Companions. So hesaid:"Who bereaved this )lark( of her
child? Return her children back to her!"
The more weak and poor a human being is, the more we are required to
show mercy to him and be gentle with him. This is why our Lord has
forbidden us from oppressing the orphan. Allaah Says )what
means(:"Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression. And do not
repel the beggar."]Quran 93: 9-10[
The Prophetsaid:"The personthat looks after and supports the widow and
the needy one is like the Mujaahid )one who makes Jihaad( in the Cause
of Allaah." Hewould rub the head of the orphans and say:"I and the
guardian of an orphan will be likethis inParadise- and he gestured
with his index and middle finger."
Indeed the Prophetcommanded us to take care of the children, women and
the elders. Thus, in his last words to his Companionsand his nation
hesaid:"The prayer and what your right hands possess." "Take good care
of the women )i.e. wives(."And he said:"The best of you is the best to
his wives. And I am the best amongst you with my wives."
Mercy is something innate, whichAllaah has placed into the hearts of
His creatures, even the lions -- the most ferocious of beasts -- are
merciful to their children. Yet Allaah is more merciful to His
creation than a mother is to her child. It is reported that on the day
that Allaah created mercy, He created one hundred parts to it. He left
ninety-nine parts with Him, by which He will show mercy to His
servants on the Day of Judgment and sent down one single part of mercy
to earth, which humans and animals shareamongst themselves.
The Messenger of Allaahhas condemned the person that is void of any
mercy, and he condemned the one who breaks family ties. Hesaid:
"Kinship is connected to the Throne)'Arsh(. It says:'Whoever severs
me, then Allaah will break )away from( him. And whoever maintains me,
then Allaah will keep connected to him."
In another narration hesaid:"Verily, the kinship will be connected to
the Throne of the Most Merciful on the Day of Judgment. It will say:
'This is the place for the one who sought refuge in You from the
severing)of family ties(.' So Allaah will say to it: 'Will it please
you that I connect those who maintained you and that I cut off those
who severed you?' And it will say: 'I will be pleased )with that(, my
Lord.'"
The Prophetcondemned the oppressive leaders who do not show mercy to
their people, by saying: "The worst leaders are al-Hutamah."
Allaah has named Himself Ar-Rahmaan and Ar-Raheem, so he is the Most
Merciful of this world and the Hereafter )i.e. Ar-Rahmaan( and The
Bestower and giver of mercy )i.e. Ar-Raheem(. This is why He has
commanded it in every place and in every situation. A Muslim begins
his action by saying 'Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem' )in the name of
Allaah, Most Merciful, the Giver of Mercy( so that Allaah can bless
him in his action. Every action that is void ofmercy has no blessing
in it, nor any good. If the servants of Allaah show mercy towards one
another, this is a cause for Allaah sending His mercy down on them.
The Prophetsaid:"The Most Merciful shows mercy to those who have mercy
on others. Show mercy to those on earth, and the One above the heaven
will show mercy to you."
O Allaah, have mercy on us above the earth and below the earth and on
the Day when our deeds will be presented to us. And cause us to be
merciful to one another just as the Companions of Your Prophetwere.
And have mercy on our dead ones andput those who have mercy from
amongst Your servants in charge over us, O Most Merciful!
