Gaining benefits by deceptive means

I live and work in UK. In order to get extra welfare benefits to help pay my rent and local council taxes (on top of national taxes) I am showing less income (earnings). By doing so I get extra money which helps pay various bills and I save some as well. Is this permissible? Is this income Haram? Is the whole amount of benefit I get Haram or parts?

  Bukhari reported that Anas (Radiya Allahu Anhu) said: 'A Jewish girl brought a poisoned lamb to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and he ate from it'. However, cheating and making use of deceptive methods to gain this benefit, by providing the department of this ... Continue Reading

How a woman should wipe her head when doing wudoo’

What is the way in which a woman should wipe her head when doing wudoo’?.

Praise be to Allaah. The way in which a woman – and a man whose hair is long – should wipe the head when doing wudoo’ is what is narrated in the hadeeth of al-Rubayyi’ bint Mu’awwidh (may Allaah be pleased with her). Ahmad (26484) and Abu Dawood (128) narrated from ... Continue Reading

Wishing for death because of intense distress

I have great problems in my work and in my social life. Is it permissible for me to wish for death?
Praise be to Allaah. Your state is like that described by the poet:“If death were for sale I would buy it.This life is something in which there is nothing good.” This is wrong. It is not permissible for the believer to wish for death. If he has to say something, then let him ... Continue Reading

A Christian is asking why God created mankind

According to the Qur'aan and/or Islamic traditions, why did God create mankind?
Praise be to Allaah. Allaah created the jinn and mankind to worship Him alone, to obey His commands and heed His prohibitions. Allaah says [in the Qur’aan] (interpretation of the meaning):“And I (Allaah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me ... Continue Reading

Ruling on making phone apps for some educational projects and selling them

Is it permissible to make phone apps to sell Islamic information? For example, the iPhone mobile phone has a number of apps that are sold via the Apple company, such as the electronic Mushaf, Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Saheeh Muslim, and so on. I would like to make apps like these, that deal with the Qur’an and Prophet’s hadeeths, for the iPhone and iPad, and upload them to the App Store as unique apps.

Praise be to Allah. Striving to spread knowledge and the Qur’an is a great good deed, and making use of modern technology to do that is one of the best and greatest good deeds, if a person does it seeking to please Allah, especially nowadays when followers of whims and desires and the ...
