Question:
Salam alaikum Sayed Musawi If we are talking about someone who is not present and it is not any thing bad but how and what she organized and cooked and said etc is this also backbiting? Jazakallah
Answer:
If the person mentioned in his absence likes what is been said or at least
does not mind it, then it is not back biting. The definition of Gheebat (
back biting) is : mentioning a believer with some thing which he does not
like to be mentioned.
Wassalam.

Question:
Salam alaikum Sayed musawi If a person dies and the burial is only possible after a few days is it compulsary to give the body ghusal and kafan immdiately or is it better to wait till the day of the burial since there might be a problem and then we might have to give the ghusal and kafan again. Jazakallah
Answer:
Ghusl and Kafan are obligatory for every Muslim who dies, on those who know
about the death and are able to perform Ghusl and Kafan for him. The time
of Ghusl is any time before burial.
It is better to perform Ghusl and Kafan before burial and not long time
before that as there is a possibility of the Kafan becoming Najis, then it
will be compulsory to make it Taahir before burial.
Wassalam.

Question:
Salam Alaikum Sayed Musawi A few months ago i assisted in giving Ghusal and Kafan to a momeema.Her daughter now rang me and told me that she wants to give me a gift and i have refused it because to the best of my knowledge we shouldn't take anything for that.Am i doing the right thing? Jazakallah
Answer:
Giving Ghusl to Muslim dead is obligatory and no money should be taken for
it because it is a religious duty, but if she wants to give you a gift,
there is no harm in accepting the gift although if you do not accept the
gift, there is no wrong in that as well. It is for you to decide.
In general we do not encourage such gift because it might create an
impression of remuneration which is not allowed.
Wassalam.

Question:
Salam alaikum Sayed Musawi I want to know if we are required to read the E numbers on the food packaging and find out what they consist of because people say that some ingrediants are from Animal fat etc. Jazakallah
Answer:
If you know that the contents of the food include animal which is not
Halal, then it becomes unlawful to consume such food. If you do not know
and do not have reasons to doubt, then you do not need to verify.
Wassalam.
