‘Shaykh’ Imran Hosein of Trinidad propagates a weird belief of Ya’juj and Ma’juj. He does not believe that these people are two tribes imprisoned and would be released from behind the barrier erected by Zul Qarnain. Please comment.

A sufi, Muhammad Yaqoubi believes that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayi wasallam) is omnipresent and that the attributes, As-Samee’ and AlBaseer mentioned in the Qur’aan refer to Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). What is his status?

I have a food business and my 3 suppliers have SANHA approval, SANHA now insists that I must pay R570 per month for a SANHA certificate otherwise they will brand me “not certified as halaal” on their website. I am very upset and need advice regarding these halaal certifying organisations.

Please comment on the issue of reducing water when making wudhu. According to the sheikh, due to the current water shortage, Muslims should not wash their limbs thrice. Since the fardh requirement is washing only once, this will suffice. It will assist in saving water. Is this correct?

Tariq Jameel of the Tabligh Jamaat says that rice should not be eaten with the hands. It should be eaten with a spoon. In fact he mocked at the practice of eating rice with the hand.

Some maulanas and sheikhs charge fees for making ta’weez. The prices of the Ta’weez differ. Some cost hundreds of rands. Is this type of business permissible? They quote Hadith to support taking fees.

Please comment on the proposed Whatsapp aalimah support group. Is it permissible to join this group? A Mufti has initiated this forum.
