Day Questions

Can we purchase a car where payment will be made in installments, although the total payment made will be higher than the normal price?

It is permissible to purchase a car or any other item by deferred payments for a price that is higher than its current market value. It is essential that the deal is set originally in such a way that the parties agree to the price and the times of installments.

Is a marriage valid if the boy and girl like each other, but their parents do not agree on this marriage?

It is not permissible for the virgin woman to marry a man and consummate the marriage without the permission on her father or her paternal grandfather if they are both present, but a man is permitted to marry without his father’s permission. However, we advise the man to involve his father in the marriage and convince him of the wife of his choice in order to avoid problems that might arise from marriage without the father’s consent.

Can I prostrate on carpet while praying with Sunnis in congregation or even without congregation?

If doing so prevents harm or is out of fear, then it is permissible. Otherwise, it is not permissible to do so.

I have been told that the narrations regarding rings other than aqiq, such as feyroza, yaqoot etc. are weak. Is this true, and does that mean that wearing a ring other than aqiq has no benefit?

Wearing turquoise (feyroza) is confirmed in some narrations and whoever wears it does not face poverty; also, the same has been reported with respect to the ruby. We do not need to investigate the authenticity of such narrations, as these actions will be deemed ‘mustahabb’ (recommended) even if they are not authenticated. This is because Almighty Allah, as per authentic narrations, has promised to reward the deeds of the believers if they performed those deeds relying on such narrations, even if such narrations were not authenticated.
