Summarized Fatawaa
• What is the ruling on a thoughtless oath?
One who swears by Allah unintentionally and isn`t determined to fulfill his oath, nothing is due on him. Allah, The Almighty, says:” God will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts; and He is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.”{Al-Baqarah/225}. However, it is dispraised for a Muslim to swear frequently.
• What is your opinion on unifying the Adhan?
Topic: Ruling on Unifying the Adhan
Question: What is your opinion on unifying the Adhan?
Answer: All perfect praise be to AllahThe Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
The unified Adhan is an act of Sunnah performed on behalf of a city's population. In addition, any Masjid that doesn’t have a Mua'than(The person who calls for prayer) and doesn`t raise the Adhan misses the reward of this great act. This is because Adhan should be raised for every group of people. However, the unified Adhan should be called in one Masjid and heard through all other Masjids. And Allah knows best.
• Does the wife have the right to stop her husband from visiting some of his relatives because their meetings involve religious violations?

• For passing time, my friends and I have called a famous diviner. She told me that somebody had cast a spill on me not to get married for the rest of my life. I didn`t believe her, but I can`t forget her words. How can I protect myself from such thing?
Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.
Dealing with diviners is forbidden and what you are suffering from is due to your having consulted that diviner. Have trust in Allah and ask Him for forgiveness, but rest assured that whatever Allah has decreed will take place. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
