Question : 01
What do the Islamic scholars and blessed Muftis of the sacred religion say regarding the following issue: Can a woman give a valuable gift to her mother without seeking permission from her husband?
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ وَسَلَّم
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
If the woman wants to give her mother a gift out of her own pocket, whether expensive or cheap, she is allowed to give it without taking permission from her husband. However, taking permission from him in order to please him and having courtesy for him is better, as it usually plays a very big role in strengthening the family relationship. If she wants to give a gift to her mother or anyone else from the wealth of her husband, whether expensive or cheap, she is not allowed to do that without seeking permission from her husband. It is necessary to take his permission in this case. Permission might be of two types; explicit and implicit. For example, if some guest comes while the husband is not at home, so according to the norms prevalent in our society, it is allowed to serve the guest with something ordinary. Therefore, the wife can spend as much money from the wealth of the husband as he has given permission for, whether explicitly or implicitly. Apart from it, it is essential to take permission from the husband before giving anything to anyone.

Breastfeeding the baby when Ghusl is Fard
Question:
What do the Islamic scholars and blessed Muftis of the sacred religion say regarding the following issue: If Ghusl is Fard due to Janabat (i.e. impurity), can a woman breastfeed the baby in this state or not?
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ وَسَلَّم
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
Janabat is not Haqeeqiyyah impurity but rather it is Hukmiyyah, i.e. the blessed Shari’ah has forbidden certain deeds in this state such as offering Salah, reciting the Holy Quran, entering the Masjid, etc. But the sweat, saliva etc., of the Junubi person remain pure. Therefore, the milk of the woman is pure even when Ghusl is Fard for her. And it is also permissible to suckle the baby in this state because purity is not necessary for this purpose. Admonition: Remember! One whom Ghusl is Fard for, should not delay in taking bath. If he does not perform Ghusl for the time being, so he should at least make Wudu because angels do not come near a Junubi person. Performing Ghusl or making Wudu without delay is neither Fard nor Wajib. This is Mustahab. Therefore, if anyone delays in performing Ghusl without any reason, he will not be a sinner. However, it should not be delayed to the extent that time for Salah passes or Makruh Tahreemi time starts; delaying to this extent is undoubtedly impermissible. If he delays to this extent, he will certainly become a sinner.
