When a man divorce his wife with witness do he have to have witnesses to take her back during her iddah time?

You are still married but married a man in an Islamic ceremony outside of your normal residence of the UK is this Islamic marriage legal?

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. Answer As long as the first husband has not passed away, divorced his wife or in any way has annulled the marriage (i.e. through the courts or a Shariah councilâ€¦), it will not be permissible for a woman to marry another man, even though it may be outside the UK. (Fatawa Hindiyyah P.280 V.1) If the man and woman got married knowing that it was unlawful, then the woman will not need to pass the iddah, which is of three menstrual cycles, as this will be considered as Zina (adultery). If they got married, not knowing it was unlawful then there are two situations: If they had sexual intercourse. In this situation iddah and mahr will be obligatory. If they did not then, no mahr and iddah will be obligatory. (Fatawa Hindiyyah P.280 & P.330 V.1) In the Holy Quran Allah (SWA) has said: "(And also prohibited are) the women already bound in Marriage." (Surah Al Nissa V.24) Only Allah Knows Best

What do Muslims believe about divorce?

Divorce is allowed but there are Quranic verses which says that divorce is not advisable.AnswerDivorce is available to men only and only after saying "I divorce thee". They may only be divorced and remarried a maximum of three times unless the women marries, consumates and subsequently is divorced with that man. Divorce is not allowed for Women, unless it was was part of the conditions of their contractual marriage certificate 'Aqd el zawaj or through judicial means.Some Muslim men marry women contractually for one night as a part of Islamic society custom. In the western world, this is known as prostitution.AnswerIt is not part of Islamic society custom and it defeats the purpose of marriage in Islam thus it is forbidden. only a minority of people do it and they concider it a loophole in the system. Marriage should not be legitimized under Islamic law unless it has the purpose of creating a family and providing stability for children to grow up in a healthy environment.If on the other hand unsolvable problems appear between the couple then divorce is an option but it is not to be used unless it was the last resort for it creates division in the community and instability for everyone involved. divorce could be issued from both sides (husband or wife) if there were legitimate reasons such as abuse by either of the couple and it is to be done in a court of law with evidence provided. THat is the right way to do it. If in certain "Muslim" countries divorce can only be issued from one side (husband) or is used as a form of "legitimized" prostitution then that country is not following the real Islam and thus weird and obscure practices such as those ones immerge.Answer :-Divorce as a last option:Although divorce being allowed in Islam is a sign of the lenience and practical nature of the Islamic legal system, keeping the unity of the family is considered a priority for the sake of the children. For this reason, divorce is always a last choice, after exhausting all possible means of reconciliation. For example, Allah addresses men asking them to try hard to keep the marriage, even if they dislike their wives: ... live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good.Surah 4 Verse 19Also the following verse is addressed to women asking them the same thing: If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; ...Surah 4 Verse 128Again, the following verse is addressed to the family or the society for the same purpose of rescuing this bond, which God did not make easy to break: If ye fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family, and the other from hers; if they wish for peace, God will cause their reconciliation: For God hath full knowledge, and is acquainted with all things.Surah 4 Verse 35But, if after exhausting all methods of reconciliation, the hatred between the husband and wife is still greater than tolerance, then divorce becomes inevitable. Here comes the genius of the Islamic law, which holds practical, rather than unrealistic approaches, towards real situations. The ultimate aims of marriage, as well as any other aspect of human life, are to achieve happiness and virtue. So, when people are denied their right to end an unhappy marriage, these two aims are seriously violated. This is, as the couple will live in suffering, which may lead them to marital infidelity. Thus divorce in this case - if weighed up to the disaster of family disintegration - will be less disastrous.Methods of divorce:Men have the right to divorce. If a man dislikes keeping his marriage for any reason, he divorces his wife and compensates her financially by paying her what is termed mut'a payment. This is in addition to the regular financial sustenance for her living, in case she has the custody of their children.Divorce becomes in effect once the husband utters or writes down any of the legal formulae of divorce such as: 'I divorce you' or 'you are divorced'…etc. The husband can do these either by himself or through a messenger.In case it is the woman's desire to end the marriage, the situation becomes different. Her reasons might be that she has received ill treatment, the husband is unable to sustain her financially or he is sexually impotent. She can prove these defects in front of the judge, then the judge grants her divorce with a full access to all her financial rights.Also, if the husband was good to her but she does not want to keep on for an emotional reason, then she asks for what is termed khul'. This means to be granted divorce but without any access for financial rights, plus paying back the husband the dowry that he already paid on marrying her.Categories of divorce:Divorce is of three categories: raj'i (returnable), baynounah soghra (minor separation) or baynouna kobra(major separation).In case divorce happens through the husband, he can take his wife back within three months. This is without any legal procedures, if they decide it - like they regret their rushing in divorce. In this case, the divorce is termed as raj'i or returnable divorce.But in case of khul', which is the second category, the husband can't remarry his divorcée till all the legal procedures are done, all over again, and the husband pays new dowry for her.Divorce happens three times in the couple's lifetime. The third divorce falls in the third category, because they cannot go back to one another, till after the wife 'happens' to marry someone else, then 'happens' to get divorced by him. In this case, she can go back to her first husband. Such a tough rule was made as a punishment and a way of preventing people from misusing this tolerant ruling of permitting divorce. The word 'happens' is parenthesized because the woman's new marriage and divorce should come naturally without planning, as many people might do to legalize her return to the first husband!When does divorce become invalid?In some cases, uttering the words of divorce become invalid. Among these cases is when the husband is:drunkforced to utter them by someone elsein a complete loss of temper to the extent that he is unaware of what he is sayingin an abnormal state of mind, such as temporary madness, epilepsy or in a coma,In such cases, divorce is null and void.Post divorce procedures:After divorce, it is obligatory for the woman not to get married to another man, except after three complete mentruation cycles, if she is not pregnant. If she is, then she has to wait till she gives birth, so that the paternity of the child is not confused. This period of time is termed as 'iddah. However, even if the woman no longer has menstruations (e.g. after menopause), she should still wait for three months. So there is more to the 'iddah than just the issue of paternity.Islam strongly discourages divorce. Divorce always has negative effects on the affected couples, on their children, on their families and on the community at large, however,Islam allows divorce if circumstances warrant or necessitate it. Islam has permitted divorce reluctantly neither liking nor recommending it.Talaq is a pronouncement of "I divorce you." Divorce and Talaq are strongly condemned within Islam. In case of difficulties within a marriage that the husband and wife cannot solve by themselves, each shall appoint an arbitrator or conciliator to resolve the matter. Taraq has been banned any many nations, such as Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Tunisia. Instead, authorities encourage the use of arbitration councils and judicial intervention to promote reconciliation.Divorce is basically use in order to void any marriage.Women has right of KHULA in Islam.But it is very true that Islam does not like Divorced.You can give this on very extreme situation.http://www.teachingquran.com/Resource-Center/Download-Quran.aspx

Can a Muslim man marry his sister in law as second wife?

Answer 1You can only marry your brother's wife in Islam if your brother is dead. However, in this day and age most Muslims see this activity as rather repulsive.Answer 2Allah (or God and same God worshiped in Judaism and Christianity) mentions most of the categories of women involved in this question in the following verses, (which means): "And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allaah] and was evil as a way. Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allaah is ever Forgiving and Merciful. And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess [i.e., slaves or war-captives who had polytheistic husbands]. [This is] the decree of Allaah upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse..." [Quran 4:22-24]The wife of one's brother is not unmarriageable to him forever. However, as soon as the marriage between her and her husband ends through divorce or death and her 'Iddah (waiting period) lapses, it becomes permissible for the brother of her ex-husband to marry her.

How did the role of women change under Islam?

Women were given the right to own and dispose of their own property/money as the saw fit, reject forced marriages, obtain an education and initiate divorce. Over 1400 years ago. A reminder that these rights were given to women in the west only over the last 200 years.

Can nikah be done if pregnant?

In the name of Allah, most merciful, most Kind.There are differences of opinions in this matter if the women who is pregnant wants to marry the man that impregnated her. If she wants to marry a man other than the one who impregnated her, then this is not allowed by consensus until she has given birth to the child.When a woman married the man she committed zina with, Sheikh Muhammad al-Munajjid says:"With regard to istibra' (determining that the woman is not pregnant) or 'iddah, this is also a matter concerning which the fuqaha' differed. The Hanafis and Shaafa'is are of the view that it is not necessary. (And this is the more opinion)What we advise you to do is to do a new marriage contract, without telling the wali the real reason for it. That is in order to be on the safe side. But if it is not possible to do a new marriage contract without telling people of the haram relationship, then we hope that you do not have to do that, and your marriage remains as it is, based on the majority view that this marriage is valid"This opinion is also adopted by Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.With regards to the Hanbali and Maalki madhhab and their A'immah saying this type of nikah is invalid, then is is a weak opinion but good to stay on the safe side, because a woman who fornicates with a man may fornicate with another and attribute the child to the wrong man. But if one is sure of the attribution of the child, then a woman may marry the man she committed fornication with.And Allah knows best.

Why do Shiites do mutta?

another of the misunderstood practices of Shiism that Has often been criticized especially by some of the moderns, is temporary marriage or Mutah. it is definitely established historical fact that as the beginning of Islam, namely between the commencement of he revelation and the migration of the Holy prophet to Medina, Temporary Marriage, Called Mutah was practiced by Muslims along with permanent marriage. as an example one can cite, the case of Zubayr ( the companion of the Prophet) who married Asma, the daughter of Abu Bakr, in a temporary marriage. from this union were born Abdullah ibn Zubayr and Urwah Ibn Zubayr. this figures were all among the most Famous companions of the Holy prophet. Obviously if this union were to have been illegitimate and categorized as adultery , which is one of the most grievous sins in Islam and entails heavy punishment , it would never have been perfumed by people who were among the foremost of the companions. temporary marriage was also practiced from the time of the migration untill the death of the Holy Prophet. and even after that event during the rule of the first caliph and part of the rule the second , Muslims continued to practice it untill it was banned by the second caliph, who threatened those who practiced it with stoning. according to all of the sources , the second caliph made the following statement:" there are two Mutahs which existed in the time of the Prophet of Geod And Abu Bakr which I have banned and i will punish those who disobey my orders. these two Mutahs are the Mutah concerning the pilgrimage and the mutah concerning women. also at first some of the companions and the followers were opposed to this ban by the second caliph, since that time the Sunni have considered Mutah marriage to be unlawful. the Shiites, however, following the teachings of the Imams of the household of the prophet , continued to consider it legitimate as it was during the lifetime of the prophet himself. the legitimacy of the Mutah marriage continued from the time of The Hijra until the death of the Holy Prophet as this verse, revealed after the Hijra, proves, and those of whom ye seek content( Istamta TUm from the same root as Mutah) give unto them their portions as a duty( Quran,IV,24) those opposed to shiism content that this verse from the chapter on women was later abrogated but the Shiah do not accept this view. In fact, the words of second caliph cited above are the best proof that up to the time of his ban such marriages were still practiced. it is inconceivable that if Mutah had been abrogated and forbidden , it would have continued to be commonly practiced by Muslims during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet and after his death until the time of the second caliph; that if Mutah had been abrogated , no action would have been taken to forbid it. we can not accept the claim that the only thing that the second caliph did was to put into action an order of prohibition and abrogation of mutah given by the holy prophet , for such a possibility is negated by the clear words of the second caliph. from the point of view of legislation and preservation of public interest also, we must consider the legitimacy of temporary marriage , like that of divorce, one of the noteworthy features of Islam. it is obvious that laws and regulations are executed with the aim of preserving the vital interests of the people in a society and providing for their needs. the legitimiztion of marriage among mankind from the beginning until today is an answer to the instinctive urge for sexual union. permanent marriage has been continuously practiced among the different peoples of the world. yet despite this fact, and all the campaigns and efforts at public persuasion that are carried out against it, there existed throughout the countries of the world, in large and small cities, both hidden and public places were illegitimate sexual union or fornication takes place. this in itself is the best proof that permanent marriage can not fulfill the instinctive sexual desires of everyone and that a solution must be sought for the problem. Islam is a universal religion and in its legislation takes all types of human being into concideration. concidering the fact that permanent marriage does not satisfy the insyinctive sexual urge of certain man and that adultery and fornication are according to Islam the most deadly of poisons , destroying the order and purity of human life Islam has legitimized temporary marriage under special conditions by virtue of which it becomes distinct from adultery and fornication and free of their evils and corruptions. this conditions include the necessity for the women to be single, to become married temporarily to only one man at one time, and after divorce to keep a period during which she can not be remarried(Iddah) half of the time that is requited after the permanent marriage. the legitimizing of temporary marriage in islam is done with the aim of allowing within the sacred law possibilities that minimize the evils resulting from the passions of men, which if not channeled lawfully manifest themselves in much more dangerous ways outside the structure of religious law.

What makes a Muslim marriage void?

First, you need to understand the distinction between "Divorce" and "Annulment". Divorce is an act that dissolves a valid, lawful marriage. But Annulment questions the legitimacy of the marriage itself. Contingent on certain conditions that make it null and void, annulment erases it from record as though the parties were never married in the first place. Depending upon the period the couple lived together as 'husband and wife', this would affect asset distribution. Most jurisdictions recognize children from annulled marriages as legitimate heirs.The standard requirements of marriage in Islam are: Capacity, full consent of both partners to the marriage expressing the above consent through ijab (offer) and qabul (acceptance), finally the presence of two reliable witnesses. Apart from the above, in the case of females, their guardian's consent has been considered essential for the validity of marriage according to the majority of imams and scholars.But what the Qazis usually overlook is the fine print - WHICH IS NOT THAT FINE - and which could nullify the marriage:Marriage is null and void under the following conditions:1. Marriage of a Muslim woman with a non-Muslim. Such a marriage, if takes place, has no religious status. Likewise, a Muslim man cannot marry a non-Muslim who does not follow any of the revealed scriptures, or an agnostic.2. A Muslim cannot marry a man or woman who, though coming from a Muslim background, does not recognize the fundamental beliefs or tenets of Islam, or if he or she legalizes that which has been considered as haram (forbidden) in Islam.3. A marriage is also rendered invalid if one of the spouses after marriage renounces Islam.4. Since consent is a condition for the validity of marriage, where there is no consent, the marriage is considered null and void. A virgin woman consents by her silence.5. Marriage without the guardian's - parent's consent can be a cause for the annulment of marriage, unless guardian's objection is simply based on other than valid considerations: that would be the case if they object to a marriage based on race, ethnicity, family status, wealth, etc. Based on this, a secret marriage is not considered as valid.6. Marriage of a person with impediments to marriage: as it would be the case for marrying close blood relations who are considered maharim (unmarriageable relatives) or milk relations as stated in the verse (Qur'an 4: 23).7. Marriage with the intention of divorce or for other than the valid purpose of marriage such as marriage for legal papers, etc.8. Temporary or conditional marriage is not valid.9. Marriage of a woman during her 'iddah or waiting period following divorce or death of her husband.10. Asking a married woman to divorce her husband or vice versa in order to marry her or him.11. Also, the majority of Muslim Scholars hold the view that a woman has the right to add such reasonable conditions to the marriage contract and it'll be binding upon the man. Like all other valid contracts, violation of a sound condition may nullify the marriage contract. If they place conditions in marriage, which are contrary with the fundamental objectives of marriage such as insisting on no consummation, or planning not to have children. E.g., prohibition to visit parents, guardians, relatives in maharim.12. Since marriage is a sacred contract between man and woman, there is no room in Islam for the so-called same-sex marriage.VALIDITY/INVALIDITY of marriage FOLLOWING an illicit relationship"The adulterer - fornicator marries not but an adulteress - fornicatress or a Mushrikah; and the adulteress -fornicatress, none marries her except an adulterer - fornicater or a Mushrik [and that means that the man who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan or idolatress) or a prostitute, then surely, he is either an adulterer - fornicator, or a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater). And the woman who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater) or an adulterer - fornicator, then she is either a prostitute or a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan, or idolatress)]. Such a thing is forbidden to the believers (of Islamic Monotheism)". [al-Noor 24:3].It is not permissible for a Muslim man to marry a woman who is a zaaniyah and that a Muslim woman cannot marry a man who is a zaani unless they both declare openly and sincerely repent and it is established that the woman is not pregnant by waiting for one menstrual cycle before getting married.If zina (adultery/fornication) took place but they did not repent, then the marriage is void. But if zina did take place between them but they admitted it, regretted it and repented, then their marriage is valid and there is no need to worry about it.If zina did not take place, rather the relationship was just touching and no penetration took place, then they cannot be called zaanis, even if ejaculation occurred. Such acts constituted major sins, but they cannot be labeled as zina unless there was penetration.Based on that:1. If no zina took place, or it took place but they repented, then there is no need to do anything; rather they remain married but they should strive to do a lot of righteous deeds.2. If zina took place between them and she did not have a period before getting married, then she got married before it was proven that she was not pregnant, this means that the marriage should be annulled.3. If zina took place between them and they did not repent, then they have to annul the marriage and wait one menstrual period to establish that she is not pregnant. He may marry her again, with a new proposal and a new contract and mahr.Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is not permissible to marry a zaaniyah until she repents. If a man wants to marry her, he must wait for one menstrual cycle to establish that she is not pregnant before doing the marriage contract with her. If it turns out that she is pregnant, it is not permissible for him to do the marriage contract with her until after she gives birth. Al-Fataawa al-Jaami'ah li'l-Mar'ah al-Muslimah, 2/584. Something similar was stated by the scholars of the Standing Committee, al-Fataawa, 18/383, 384.As for what the Law of the Non-Islamic Land may consider elements disqualifying marriage are: Age of consent, mental capacity, whether either party is serving 7 yrs. or life imprisonment, the period of time either spouse was absconding, whether the marriage occurred involuntarily or through deception of material fact, fraud, bigamy, polyandry and other such reasonable statutory considerations that vary throughout the world.But, the bottom line is, the cause of action for annulment is usually brought on by the one aggrieved in the marital relationship, and not a third person. And if they choose to continue "living in sin" sheltered behind a dubious Nikka'nama Certificate despite a truckload of Fatwas and Sharia Laws, there is not a thing anyone can do to stop them except render counsel and pray they make effort to validate their Nikah!And Allah knows best …. Jazak'Allah!

How would Muslims prepare for burial?

Death is a very painful and emotional time, yet one that may be filled with hope and mercy. Muslims believe that death is a departure from the life of this world, but not the end of a person's existence. Rather, eternal life is to come, and we pray for God's mercy to be with the departed, in hopes that they may find peace and happiness in the life to come. When a Muslim is near death, those around him or her are called upon to give comfort, and reminders of God's mercy and forgiveness. They may recite verses from the Qur'an, give physical comfort, and encourage the dying one to recite words of remembrance and prayer. It is recommended, if at all possible, for a Muslim's last words to be the declaration of faith: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah." Upon death, those with the deceased are encouraged to remain calm, pray for the departed, and begin preparations for burial. The eyes of the deceased should be closed, and the body covered temporarily with a clean sheet. It is forbidden for those in mourning to excessively wail, scream, or thrash about. Grief is normal when one has lost a loved one, and it is natural and permitted to cry. When the Prophet Muhammad's own son died, he said: "The eyes shed tears and the heart is grieved, but we will not say anything except which pleases our Lord." One should strive to be patient, and remember that Allah is the One who gives life and takes it away, at a time appointed by Him. It is not for us to question His wisdom. Muslims strive to bury the deceased as soon as possible after death, avoiding the need for embalming or otherwise disturbing the body of the deceased. An autopsy may be performed, if necessary, but should be done with the utmost respect for the dead. In preparation for burial, the family or other members of the community will wash and shroud the body. (If the deceased was killed as a martyr, this step is not performed; martyrs are buried in the clothes they died in.) The deceased will be washed respectfully, with clean and scented water, in a manner similar to how Muslims make ablutions for prayer. The body will then be wrapped in sheets of clean, white cloth (called the kafan). The deceased is then transported to the site of the funeral prayers (salat-l-janazah). These prayers are commonly held outdoors, in a courtyard or public square, not inside the mosque. The community gathers, and the imam (prayer leader) stands in front of the deceased, facing away from the worshippers. The funeral prayer is similar in structure to the five daily prayers, with a few variations. (For example, there is no bowing or prostration, and the entire prayer is said silently but for a few words.) The deceased is then taken to the cemetery for burial (al-dafin). While all members of the community attend the funeral prayers, only the men of the community accompany the body to the gravesite. It is preferred for a Muslim to be buried where he or she died, and not be transported to another location or country (which may cause delays or require embalming the body). If available, a cemetery (or section of one) set aside for Muslims is preferred. The deceased is laid in the grave (without a coffin if permitted by local law) on his or her right side, facing Mecca. At the gravesite, it is discouraged for people to erect tombstones, elaborate markers, or put flowers or other momentos. Rather, one should humbly remember Allah and His mercy, and pray for the deceased. Loved ones and relatives are to observe a 3-day mourning period. Mourning is observed in Islam by increased devotion, receiving visitors and condolences, and avoiding decorative clothing and jewelry. Widows observe an extended mourning period (iddah), 4 months and 10 days long, in accordance with the Qur'an 2:234. During this time, she is not to remarry, move from her home, or wear decorative clothing or jewelry. When one dies, everything in this earthly life is left behind, and there are no more opportunities to perform acts of righteousness and faith. The Prophet Muhammad once said that there are three things, however, which may continue to benefit a person after death: charity given during life which continues to help others, knowledge from which people continue to benefit, and a righteous child who prays for him or her. http://www.missionislam.com/knowledge/janazahstepbystep.htm

Why do Muslims prayer 5 times a day?

AnswerMuslims pray 5 times a day because it is ordained by God Almighty. It is a means of showing the loyalty, gratitude, modesty and love towards God. No other religion in the world preaches to pray to God 5 times a day. It is only in Islam. This is to remind Muslims that there is an Almighty who created them and to bow their heads in total humbleness towards God. If it is done 5 times a day, one can imagine how close to God one is and that will help to help one abstain from all evil and vices. It makes a human being better. It makes him 5 times better.In addition, it is not difficult to pray for five times a day as each prayer could take less than five minutes.

What is a Muslim funeral like?

Usually it begins with the cleaning of the body by loved ones which is simply a bathing of the body. There are many prayers said during this ritual, and even designated mourners who cry during the bathing of the body. There are many rules, such as once you have bathed the body, you are not allowed to touch it again with your "unclean" hands. However, in the U.S. many times the bathers wear gloves through part of the cleaning, and remove for last part so as not to "touch with unclean hands". The body is wrapped in several layers of white clothing/wraps, etc. They pray over the body while in state ( in U.S. at the funeral home) and stay all night. The body is buried next day in dirt, not a casket. In the U.S. most cemetery owners require an outer burial container (usually for Muslims a two-piece concrete type "coffin.it is much like a wooden box, with lid and all.Then they bury them at a grave normally they bury them in the country that they were born in; although because burial needs to be within 24 hours of death mostly Muslims are buried in the country where they died. They should be buried on their side facing Mecca.
