Q:
I started the procedure for buying a house in October but we are now in
the Islamic month of Muharram. Is there anything in Islam about not
engaging in acttivities of this sort in Muharram?
A:
There are many superstitions regarding the months of Muharram and
Safar. These are merely superstitions and should not be followed. You
may buy and sell in any month. Shari'ah does not prohibit one from this
in any month.
| Q:
My doctor gave me medication for an illness. I am aware than in
general, many medications contain ingredients from haram animal
sources. However, I have no specific information that the particular
drug I have been given contains anything haram. Is it allowed for me to
use this medication?
A: As
long as there is no certainty that a medication contains a haraam
ingredient, you must consider it halaal and lawful. Not all drugs or
medication contain haraam ingredients. There is no need to doubt.
Continue using the medication.
We make dua that Allah Ta'ala grants you complete cure and enables you to fulfill the rights of nikah, aameen.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
