If Halal and Haram earnings are mixed in such a way that they cannot be separated, and you do not know the real owner of the money which you got by Haram means, and you do not know whether that Haram money is less than one-fifth of the total or more than one-fifth, then you must take out Khumus from it and the remaining four-fifths will be Halal for you. Q88: WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF MAHR? What is the minimum amount of "Mahr" that is lawful in Islam? Please state the amount of money in U.S.

dollars. A. "Mahr" can be anything which has some value in the eyes of common people. And there is no limit as to the minimum or maximum amount. Any amount agreed upon by the would- be husband and wife is legal - even one dollar is perfectly legal, if it is so agreed upon. A haram (prohibited in shariah) thing (Like liquor or pork) cannot be given as Mahr. Q89: CAN A MUSLIM MARRY A NON-MUSLIM? A) Suppose a Muslim girl marries a non-Muslim, say a Hindu or so, can she still be called a Muslim? A.

If she still believes in the tenets of Islam, she will be called a Muslim, though one is committing a capital sin. B) Is it a sin if she does so? Why? A. Yes. It is a capital sin. Marriage of a Muslim girl with a non-Muslim boy is not valid; it is no marriage at all. And every time they sleep together, they will be committing the sin of 'Zina' (fornication).

God says in the Qur'an: "and marry not your women to idolator men until they believe; a believer slave is better than an idolater (free) man even though he may allure you." (Qur'an 2.221). And He says:- "The fomicatress and fornicator, you scourge each of them with a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them keep you away from enforcing the sentence of God."(Qur'an, 24:2) C) Is going against parents for this reason a sin or only a misbehaviour? A. Yes. It is another capital sin.

D) Can this thing be possible. Or is it a sin which is unforgivable? A. So long as one persists in any sin, that sin is unforgivable. E) What if pure love exists between such two people, should they ignore it and ruin their life? A. Well, if it is a "pure" love, then why not remain separate and follow the commandments of Allah? 'Pure love' does not demand sexual intercourse. And it is better to "ruin" your life in this world, rather than ruining it in the hereafter. Previous…
