Question

Dear Muslim Brother, my sister passed away a few months ago and may Allah(swt) bless her and forgive her, and she left behind her daughter. Now, my mom and I take care of her, but my question is do I, the sister haved to marry my brother-in-law?

Answer

Muhtaram Brother in Islam

Assalamualikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu

 It is not necessary for you to marry your brother-in-law.( your deceased sisters husband.) in order to take care of your niece.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best

Mufti Ebrahim Desai

 A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM MUFTI EBRAHIM DESAI

1. When the world was in darkness of inhumanity, Allah Taala gave knowledge and guidance to Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam).

2. The guidance through that Divine knowledge had changed the mindset of people and transformed the evil practices of people to the highest morals.

3. Education and knowledge of Divine guidance is the backbone and foundation of reformation, prosperity and peace.

4. Islam provides guidance and solution for every aspect of life. Ignorance of such knowledge leads one to look down upon Islam and suffer an inferiority complex.

5. When one studies Islam, the Quran and Hadith, then only one will value the in-depth wisdom in such knowledge.

6. Muslims are generally ignorant about Islam and that is the fundamental cause of our decline and retrogression.

7. We have to educate ourselves on Islam and rise to the challenges of the times and once again prove ourselves as a dynamic Ummah. For that sacrifice, take out time to study Islam from reliable Ulama and scholars.

8. If you cannot make your son an Aalim of Deen then encourage others to become Huffaz and Ulama. You will get the reward of the person studying and guiding people through his knowledge.

9. If that too is difficult, at least help and assist a person who wishes to study Deen.

10. Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "When a person passes away all his deeds terminate except three, Sadaqah e Jaariyya (perpetual reward), pious child that makes Dua for the parents and knowledge through which others benefit".
