Calling the mother by her name
Is calling the mother by her name considered as [being] disobedient to her? And [what] if I have become used to this, and she is fine with that – so would this be permissible?
Seek your father’s permission
A young woman has a friend she has not seen for [a number of] years, and she wants to go and visit her, so is it permissible for her to go without her father’s permission?
Do not give more than a third of your wealth in charity
When I want to give in charity to my relatives and [those of] my friends who are in need – my mother opposes me in this, claiming that I am squandering my money without benefit, and that I should save my money for what will benefit me later.
My father takes all my salary
I am a young man who works, and I give my father my salary – even though my father always [verbally] abuses me, and accuses me of falling short in honouring him by hiding some of my salary and [instead] give it to my wife.
Unable to regularly visit my father’s grave
My father died a long while ago, and he is [buried in a graveyard] far away from [where I live], and [as such] I am unable to visit him except after two or three years. So is it possible for me to honour him with anything, since I [live so] far away from him?
Supplicating for the deceased
