Question
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
-1&2 Belgium is a very small country. Could you please clarify what distances you typically travel?
Pertaining to the aspect of wiping yourself with wet tissue, that is fine.
Pertaining to doing tayammum, we fail to understand why you do not have the time to make Wudhu. How do you generally pray during work?
-3 Concerning an accident or suicide, you are not to be blamed in any way.
-4 In the enquired scenario, B can only demand 200 from A not 6,000. Our advice for B is not to accept any money at all and to rather demand from A to exenorate B from any wrong doing. The requirement of Tawbah (Repentance) on part of A is for him to declare publicly that he wrongly accused B from stealing. As long as he doesn’t do that, his repentance will be incomplete, unless B is prepared to forgive A completely, the compensation for which B will see in the hereafter by Allāh ﷻ.
-5 If the various scholars you have consulted with were presented with all the correct facts and they gave a correct answer, those that are making an issue are to be carefull as they are objecting to the way Shariah is dividing the inheritance. Our suggestion is to give him one month to get a fatwa from a reliable Scholar that could prove that the other scholars have erred in their judgment, failing to produce such a fatwa will lead to an irrevocable distribution of the estate.
