12 Dec 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Does the Quran forbid Muslims from being friends with non-Muslims who challenge Islam? The verse about not loving those who oppose Allah was revealed when tribes were confederating to attack the Muslims and concerns loyalty to them, not friendship with non-Muslims. Permission to marry Christians and Jews shows love and friendship with non-Muslims are allowed.

3 Nov 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the Quran actually tell women to cover their hair, or only their chest? There is nothing explicit in the Quran or Sunnah about covering the head; the verse of al-Nur tells women to cover the jayb (the chest opening) with the khimar they already wore, and whether the khimar itself is obligatory or circumstantial is an open question. Covering the hair became the settled teaching within a generation of the companions.
