Travel of women without a mehram
Can a woman travel alone overseas to see her ill parents, as her husband cannot afford the cost of their travelling together or sending any other mehram with her?
Mufti Sahib Says: She can travel alone. The condition of a mehram accompanying her in a journey no longer applies for the types of travel nowadays.

Contributing in a Christmas gift
Everyone in my office is contributing money to buy a Christmas gift for our manager? Is it permissible to contribute for this gift?
Mufti Sahib Says: There is no harm in such a contribution because in North America such occasions are now a mere traditional social activity and the people have either forgotten or are ignorant of the religious spirit of these occasions.

Attending a company Christmas gathering in a bar
Our department's manager has arranged a Christmas party for all employees in a bar/club. Is it permissible to attend such an event?
Mufti Sahib Says: Normally it would not be a problem to attend a Christmas party, since such events are now devoid of religious sentiment. However since it is being held in a bar, it is better to avoid it in view of other ills viz. service of alcohol and the presence of women.
