The difference in the rights of father and mother

❓Question: When a person asked the Prophet Muḥammad (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him): ‘Who has the greatest right over me?’ The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) replied: “Your mother.” He repeated the question three times. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Your mother.” The fourth time, he asked: ‘Then who?’ the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Your father.” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (5971); and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (2548)] Now, my question is, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said three times: “Your mother” and the fourth time said: “Your father” then why is it said that children belong to the father?

The ruling on a woman travelling without a maḥram

❓Question: Can a woman travel without a maḥram? What is the ruling of such (i.e., travelling without a maḥram) in the Islāmic Sharī'ah? In the present time, Muslim women often undertake long journeys without a maḥram for religious events, or sometimes a single woman accompanies her maḥram in the travel while the rest of the women travel together (with this woman) – is this practice correct? Some women say that a woman can travel for a day and a night without a maḥram. Please clarify this issue based on the Qurān and the Sunnah.

Reciting the shahādah and making dhikr aloud while lifting the janāzah (funeral bier)

❓ Question: Nowadays, when a funeral procession is carried out, people recite the shahādah loudly (as they walk with it). In some areas, along with the funeral, people recite poems aloud. Is this practice proven by the Qurān and ḥadīth? Please guide us. (A questioner from Lahore, Pakistan)

Staying at the grave after the funeral

❓ Question: Is there a ḥadīth that recommends staying by the grave once the dead body is buried for a period of time equal to that taken for slaughtering a camel? What does that mean?
