Alcohol that is used in perfumes is not khamr right? So we can use it.

It is khamr if it was fermented. Some cheap perfumes ferment corn for that, but after a few years the fermentation smell starts to take over the fragrance.
Keep in mind that perfumes can contain all kinds of things. There's a perfume in the market, under the name of a famous singer, that, quite proudly, contains human semen and blood in its formula.

Salam Sheikh, do you mind posting this? The video series by Ustadh Tim Humble on the names of Allah is quite good. Also the book ‘Explanation to the Beautiful and Perfect Names of Allah’ was a great book to start with for me. May Allah increase us in knowledge and love for Him.

Will Siraj institute be fully online?

All classes will be live streamed yes. However, the degree programs, the community projects and the internships all require residency in Ottawa.
(But fear not! There'll be dorms in 2019 inshaAllah.)

Sheikh I was talking with my brother about financing I said that 1) if seller sells with an interest rate = permissible 2) if buyer takes a loan with interest from third party and buys from seller = prohibited Even if at the end, the same price was paid (with interest). Is this wrong?

With conditions,

Salam Sheikh, is there actually a narration about how the tears of the believers wipe away oceans of the fires of Jahannam? A famous YouTube video has this quote, but I never found it (in English )

It's from the words of the Tabi'een, as a form of giving hope to the sinners to repent.
All the narrations in this meaning are fabricated or extremely weak.
But the tears of the repenter are significant in the Eyes of Allah. The Prophet said: "No person crying out of the fear of Allah will be sent to Hell, unless milk can be put back into the udder. (i.e. It's impossible)..."

Is there anything wrong with holding your spouse's hand in public.

It's a great idea. She'll think you're romantic, and you'll make sure she doesn't run into a store to buy stuff 👌

Super excited for Siraj institute!! When will the courses be announced?

Bismillah, in August inshaAllah. Classes begin in Fall, inshaAllah. Please take a moment to make du'aa.

https://ask.fm/MajedJarrar/answers/141243480386 Isn't there a hadith where the Prophet walked by a group of his companions who were sitting together doing dhikr and he didn't stop them (even though he went to sit with the group that was talking about 'ilm)?

No, they were making du'aa (could be individually and silently, or one imam and the rest saying Ameen), and he didn't sit with the other either. He pointed that the one seeking knowledge was better, but both were good.

Al salamo 3lyko sheikh. I work as a broker for real estate and part of my job is to work with sub brokers under my management. Is it permissible to work with a female subbroker of course with Islamic limits yet knowing she might be meeting male clients on her own? Jazak Allah khairan.

You're held accountable for your actions, not hers.

https://ask.fm/MajedJarrar/answer/141242300994?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=iOS . I use to punch in and leave then come to punch out without actually working sheikh. I will pay the money back but should I pay it to the company yet not certain it will reach the owner or give it as sadakah

Betraying trust is a grave sin, and is one of the major sins in Islam.
You can't simply pay off major sins and walk away free. You need a sincere repentance, to change completely from that behaviour.
This is prohibited money that you cannot give as charity, for Allah only accepts that which is good. You discard that money - give it with the intention of getting rid of Haram, not charity - through possible means. You cannot discard it in building of mosques, or feeding poor and needy Muslims. But you may give it to maintaining hospitals, schools, roads etc and clothing of needy people.
Remember that the doors of repentance are open, but you need to walk in through them with humility and regret.

Sheikh, how do people religiously justify things like the mawlid, muraqabah, group dhikr circles, etc? Like, isn't it common sense that those things aren't Islamically sanctioned? Isn't it like they're saying "all the things the Prophet taught are good, but our Shuyookh had better ideas"

The inevitable result of worshipping without having enough knowledge, that one would attempt to please their Lord in ways that aren't pleasing to Him.
It could reach a point where for example, with regards to the ruling that it's discouraged (in Hanafi mathhab, as well as majority of mathaahib) to use the title Sayyiduna (our master) to the Prophet during the prayer, some extreme Sufis have said, even if it's prohibited we will still disobey and call him Sayyiduna out of our love to the Prophet.

This may be a very stupid question, so I apologize in advance. Why do people put so much emphasis on aqeedah ? In my limited understanding, isn't it a topic we shouldn't fight over since it's not exactly "proveable"? Like, why should it take precedence over learning actual worship like fiqh?

Fighting (especially between peers) whether it's over Aqeedah or Fiqh, is equally disturbing.
In an ideal world, a Muslim needs to first learn about their purification, prayer and other basic rulings of Fiqh, then learn about the life of the Prophet, the Qur'an and Sunnah, while learning Arabic to understand all the previous better. Their aqeedah (creed) is the fruit of all this.
Sometimes people get confused because they've learnt incorrect things indirectly, from their society, parents, teachers etc and would need to study aqeedah to correct it. It's a medication given to fight off misconceptions. Taking it without the need can be problematic, especially that it introduces the laity to misconceptions they may have never heard of, before refuting them.

Al salamo 3lykom sheikh. I use to work in a company and sometimes attended shifts and didn't do any work. I left this company but I would like to give the salary of those days back. If I am not sure if the money will go to the owner should I pay it as sadaqah. What do you think is best ?

If you're hired on shifts as security guard, cashier, janitorial, etc. Then it's fine if you finished your work early and rest, and still get paid for being there stand by.

Asalaamu alaykum sheikh, just wanted to ask if it's permissible for me to go to a toastmasters meet up which is on the 3rd floor of a pub in the board room. No alcohol is served there but I still have to walk through the pub and up two stairs to get there. JazakAllah Khair for your work :)

Wa alaikum assalam,
It's prohibited for Muslims to give a chance to other people to think ill of them. Hence, acts like walking into a bar or sitting at a table where others are being served alcohol are prohibited even if the person does not do something prohibited.
If I may suggest, use the situation to your da'wah advantage, especially if you're a qualified speaker. Send them an email explaining why you cannot attend because of the location, and suggest a better location in future events. If enough people like you do that, employers and organizations will stop using bars as meeting places.

Salam Sheikh, I was wondering if you know any places that teach basic Islam to children with mental difficulties. An autistic child just got kicked out of the local madrasah b/c the mullas think he's possessed by jinns... So I want to try to find an alternative for him (if his circumstances allow)

الراجح عند أهل العلم طبعا يعني ما رجحه الدليل القرآن والسنة يعني معرفة الصحيح في المسألة وبارك الله فيكم

الدليل لا يرجح بنفسه يا اخي الغالي،
والبعض يظن أن الأمر ما هو إلا أن تلقي حفنة من الأدلة في طبق وتصب عليه الحليب فيطفو لك الراجح؟
لا يا أخي، ما ترجح عند امير المؤمنين عمر بن الخطاب هو الراجح عنده هو، وهو غير ما ترجح عند ام المؤمنين عائشة وهو الراجح عندها هي، وما كان الراجح عند مالك ليس بالضرورة الراجح عند الشافعي.
فإذا قيل لك القول الراجح كذا تقول مباشرة عند من؟ فإن قال السائل عندي او عند فلان، او هكذا الدليل يقول فهل المتكلم هو أكثر أهلية للترجيح من ابن تيمية أو النووي أو الشاطبي أو ابن عابدين؟
فإن أقر أنه صعلوك مقابل علمهم، فهل عنده رد علمي متين يسند وصفه لاجتهاد كل واحد منهم بأنه مرجوح؟
هناك أربعون دليلا في مسألة واحدة من القران والسنة - قولا وفعلا وإقرارا - والاجماع وقول أفراد الصحابة وعمل آحادهم وعادة أهل المدينة؛ وهذه الأدلة إما أن يكون ثبوتها قطعي كالمتواتر او ظني كالشاذ، وإما أن يكون مدلولها عام أو خاص، مطلق أو مقيد، وفي القران والسنة ناسخ ومنسوخ.
ثم بعد ذلك أدلة عامة أخرى كالقياس والاستصحاب والاستحسان والمصالح المرسلة والعقل ومخالفة النفس
هذا الذي يقول لك في المسألة قول راجح واحد، سلم عليه وامض في سبيلك. والله المستعان.

AsalamuAlaykum Sheikh. I broke an oath and when fasting when one of the three days to make up for that oath I broke my fast as I am in the middle of exam period and it was hard for me. Can I wait until after the exam period/Ramadan to fast instead?

You shouldn't. Make it up now, and make up the day you broke as well.
