Question

1. Can we make dzikr while we are lying down with our wife ? 2. The Halal pizza bar/ chicken, fish & chips, are cooking the chips with the oil which are use to cook the 'halal' chicken slaughtered by stunning. Is this acceptable ??? 3. We have some kitchen utentils given by others (plates, glasses etc), we're not sure whether they have used these utentils to eat pork etc. How should we clean these?? 4. Some brothers said that every single drop of rain was actually brought up by one malaikat, in which this malaikat will never come back to this earth?? Is this true? Where can we read such things? (which book) 5. What other name I can combine with Asmaa ? is Siti Asmaa OK? or Asmaa khairunNisa?

Answer

1. Yes, Dhikr will be permissible as long as you are not in a state of nakedeness. However, Dhikr should preferably be made in respectable conditions.

2. If the same oil that was used to fry chips was used to fry or cook any Haraam food, it will not be acceptable.

3. The utensils should be washed properly before used, preferably, at least 3 times.

4. It is narrated in Tafseer ibn Katheer that ibn Jareer al-Tabarri (RA) narrates from Hakam (Taabi?ee) that angels descend with the rain. (Surah Hajr Chapter14; Tafseer ibn Katheer).

5. Asmaa can be a name on itself. However, you may join it with Asmaa Khayrun-nisaa.
