Question:
Dear Moulana, Assalamalaikum, Moulana Sahib I am not having sexual relation with my wife for seven years but living together and looking after her and children financially. providing them house and fulfilling all the requirements. She does not want me to have a sexual relation with her and every time she tell me to get married because I cannot give you what you want. Please let me know what should I do in these circumstances. Thanks and regards.
Answer:
Wife must not refuse sexual relationship with her husband, except when she is in her menstruation period or post natal.
If she is unwell and unable to fulfill her duties as a wife, you may try to get her treated. If she refuses and tells you to get another wife, you may do so to save yourself from Haraam, but the condition for another marriage is to fulfill practical justice between both wives.
Wassalam.

Question:
what's the main purpuse of fasting?
Answer:
The main purpose of fasting is mentioned in Quranic verse which speaks about=
the obligation of fasting on the believers (=D9=8A=D8=A7 =D8=A3=D9=8A=D9=87=
=D8=A7 =D8=A7=D9=84=D8=B0=D9=8A=D9=86 =D8=A2=D9=85=D9=86=D9=88=D8=A7 =D9=83=D9=
=8F=D8=AA=D8=A8 =D8=B9=D9=84=D9=8A=D9=83=D9=85 =D8=A7=D9=84=D8=B5=D9=8A=D8=A7=
=D9=85 =D9=83=D9=85=D8=A7 =D9=83=D8=AA=D8=A8 =D8=B9=D9=84=D9=89 =D8=A7=D9=84=
=D8=B0=D9=8A=D9=86 =D9=85=D9=86 =D9=82=D8=A8=D9=84=D9=83=D9=85 =D9=84=D8=B9=D9=
=84=D9=83=D9=85 =D8=AA=D8=AA=D9=82=D9=88=D9=86)
(O who believed, fasting is been ordained on you as it was ordained on those=
before you, so that you may be pious).=20
Fasting encourages being pious, God fearing and humble. It also makes the fa=
sting person more sympathetic to the poor and needy. It strengthens the will=
power and makes the person away from evil desires.
Lot of health benefits come from fasting, beside many other social, spiritua=
l and intellectual benefits.

Question:
Salam Respected Sayyid. Is it permissible to go into a relationship of mut'a marriage with a woman that has no religion, but believes in One God, just like Islam, and in search of Him through reading books of the three major religions? Wassalam
Answer:
Mut'ah marriage is not permitted at all but with a Muslim or Ahlul Kitab wom=
an. This woman is not yet a believer in Islam nor in Torah or Bible, hence M=
ut'ah marriage with her is not permissible.
