Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh. I want to ask about cash loans at national conventional banks or village business cooperative funds. Does that include usury or not, Ustadz? ANSWER Debting usury nowadays at the bank has three disadvantages: 1. Since borrowing, you are already subject to usury. 2. If you pay late, you will be fined. 3. If you want to pay off more quickly, you will be subject to a penalty. In fact, riba debt today is more jahiliyyah than usury debt in the jahiliyyah era. Ibn Kathir Rahimullah when explaining the following verse on usury, يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا لَا تَأْكُلُوا الرِّبَا " O you who believe, do not consume usury by double... READ MORE

Assalamualaikum. Ustadz, what are the boundaries of interaction and communication with your future husband? ANSWER وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته Bismillah... One of human nature is the tendency of a man towards women and vice versa. In fact, the purpose of marriage is to fulfill biological needs in a halal way, so that they can give birth to offspring who are expected to be the successors of life, of course also to fight for the Islamic religion. Among the steps and stages before the consent or marriage contract takes place is the sermon or proposal. That is, the man comes to visit the woman and tells her parents about the aims and objectives of tying the relationship until the marriage contract is held. The purpose of applying is to provide...

Assalamu'alaikum Warrohmatullah. Mr. Ustadz, let me ask. How to pay for fasting when almost half your life does not fast and does not pray? Mr. Ustadz, I work in Hong Kong and can't pray. But I intend to go home. After returning home, I will fast, pray, and read the Koran. Unfortunately, there are still needs that I have to fulfill which force me to still have to work in Hong Kong.

Assalamualaikum Ustadz, I have a question. For example, if someone has died, and while he was still alive, he hurt his neighbor. Regarding this, his son has apologized for the deceased's mistakes.

Assalamualaikum. Ustadz, I want to ask. Is hair dye with Miranda Hair Color allowed? Will the prayer be valid later, Ustadz? ANSWER: وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته Bismillah... Basically, it is permissible to dye, paint or shine your hair. Even more than that, there is a suggestion from the Prophet sallallãhu 'alaihi wasallam in his hadith through his friend Abu Hurairah radliyallahu 'anhu: "Indeed, Jews and Christians do not want to dye their hair, because that is different from you and them." (Bukhari) More than that, Rasulullah Shallallãhu 'alaihi wasallam also said: من كان له شعر فليكرمْه (رواه أبو داود) "Whoever has hair, let him glorify it." (HR Abu Dawud) How to... READ MORE

Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Ustadz, can the remaining zakat money that has not been distributed be distributed until next year? Please enlighten me, because some haven't reached their haul yet. ANSWER: وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته Bismillah...

The year in question is hijriyah or qomariyah, not AD. If one of the conditions is not met, then the property is not obliged to issue zakat. From Ummul mukminin Aisyah radliyallãhu 'anha, Rasulullah shallallãhu 'alaihi wasallam said: لا زكاةَ في مالٍ حتى يَحولَ عليه الحوْلُ ... READ MORE
