Assalam Alaikum

I have a couple questions:

1. If your wife doesn't wear the thing over her head is she still considered a muslim, and if she doesn't wear it is it haram on me for not making her.

2.Is it permissible to wear cologne that has alchohol in it, it's not like i am drinking alchohol, and it's also a different alchohol used in the cologne.

3.Is a beard fard or sunnah, do i have to grow one.

4.I read a hadith(Sahih Bukhari Vol.II #468)the other day and it talked about a man who Allah had given the knowledge of the Quaran(i.e. knowing it by heart) but he used to sleep at night(i.e. he did not recite it then) and did not use to act upon it by day, so his head would be crushed constantly over and over and this will happen to him until the day of resurrection. Well I know a good amount of quaran by heart and I pray tahajjud and then witr before i go to sleep. because whenever i trie to wake-up before fajr and pray tahjjud i just sleep right through while my alarm clock rings for half an hour, and i miss the tahajjud prayers and witr and fajr, so thats why i pray before i go to sleep. Because i don't wake-up in the night time will i be punished like this man?

5. also in that same hadith, Prophet Muhommed(sas) saw two houses, then Angel Gabriel and Angel Michael(A.S.), said one of those house's was for the common beleivers and the other for the martyrs. Mashallah this is a beautiful hadith. Well this hadith is in the chapters of janaiz and grave benefits and afflictions. i was just wondering is that place for the common beleivers, is that where our souls will be taken after we are put in our graves, or is that for very pious muslims(i.e. sheikhs, Imams, people who memorized the Quaran...)But the thing that puzzles me is that it says the common beleivers?

Jazak Allah Khairun, i hope this isn't too many questions

assalam alaikum

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

In regards to your questions:

If a woman does not wear Hijab and dress the way that Allah has ordered we can not call her a BELIEVER. The reason being is that a believing woman would never deliberately disobey Allah. As her husband yes you will answer to Allah for her not obeying him in regards to her dress because you are the guardian of your family:

'All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under your care. The Imam (i.e. ruler) is the guardian of his subjects and is responsible for them and a man is the guardian of his family and is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband's house and is responsible for it. A servant is the guardian of his
master's belongings and is responsible for them.' [Bukhari 2.18]

In regards to wearing cologne with alcohol in it, the alcohol content is so low that it is of no avail. Also the kind of alcohol placed in cologne is not the same kind of alcohol used for drinking.

The beard is not sunnah it is FARD and yes all men must wear one:

Narrated Nafi
Ibn Umar said: The Prophet said, "Do the opposite of what the pagans do. Keep the beards and cut the moustaches
short." Whenever Ibn 'Umar performed the Hajj or 'Umra, he used to hold his beard with his hand and cut whatever moustaches. Ibn Umar used to cut his moustache so short that the whiteness of his skin (above the upper lip) was visible, and he used to cut (the hair) between his
moustaches and his beard. [Bukhari 7.780]

The man whose head was being crushed was in this state for knowing Quran and not acting upon it or sharing his knowledge with others or using his knowledge in a way beneficial to himself or others.

In regards to your last question, when you die your soul stays inside of you in the grave. The only peoples souls that leave them at death for jannah are the souls of the prophets(as), Martyrs and children..however no one will enter paradise in Body and soul until the day of Judgement..

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
