Got some of these from http://www.islam.com and wanted to share some of the question and answers that were provided there..


Qustion:

My question is what is wrong with males wearing silk?

Answer:

The answer to your question is quite simple. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings on him) forbade wearing of silk for the males among his Followers. He often said that one who wore silk in this life shall not wear it in the hereafter. Wearing of silk (and gold) is effeminate. It inculcates notions of being delicate and fragile, where as it is natural for men to be manly, strong, stout-hearted and robust.

Question:

I would like to know why you consider the dog unclean as compared to any other animal which may be worse than the dog and even more unclean? I would be very grateful if you could answer this query for me?

Answer:

Dog is indeed considered unclean in Islam. However, it is not the only animal considered thus. The faithfulness of the dog is never questioned and guard dogs are kept by Muslims as pets. The Pig, a most filthy creature, is considered foul in Islam. If you have information on an animal which you think is not clean and is considered clean in Islam, please let us know and we will endeavour to answer your query.

Question:

Why are non Muslims prohibited from into entering Mecca?

Answer:

We believe it is to protect the sanctity of the holiest of the holy places. A non-believer would not have the same regard for the most sacred Muslim Landmarks, hence the rule. Indeed, one who believes in the Unity of Allah should qualify for entrance to the Holy Land and the House of God.

Question:

Are men and woman equal? I read somewhere that the Holy Quran says that the man is the leader and a woman should obey him always. Please let me know if it is true.

Answer:

In Surah Al-Nisa, Chapter 4 of the Holy Quran it reads: "Men are guardians over women because Allah has made them excel others, and because they (men) spend of their wealth. So virtuous women [are those who] are obedient, and guard the secrets [of their husbands] with Allah's protection...." The Quranic word used to describe the status of men is Qawwam, which means one who manages affairs, a guardian. Therefore, whilst the verse gives men the authority, it clearly defines their responsibilities as well.Wallaho Alam Bissawab.

Question:

With reference to Holy and Hadith Singing and Dancing, is it allowed in Islam.

Answer:

Yes, only on festive occasions and in a good taste. Dancing of women should be in the circle of women only. Men can dance manly dances in the open with the beat of drums, etc. Wallaho Alam Bissawab.
