Summarized Fatawaa

• Does the clipping of nails nullify ablution?
No, it does not, and it is preferable to wash the hands afterwards.

• Is the marriage contract considered valid if concluded at home by the marriage official(Ma`zon)?
Yes, it is valid as long as it is registered at the court.

• What is the ruling on swearing a false oath by the Holy Quran?
Swearing a false oath by the Holy Quran dips the oath-taker in Hellfire, and one who had done so should turn to Allah in repentance, seek His forgiveness, give back rights to whom they belong, and pay the oath expiation.

• For passing time, my friends and I have called a famous diviner. She told me that somebody had cast a spill on me not to get married for the rest of my life. I didn`t believe her, but I can`t forget her words. How can I protect myself from such thing?
Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. Dealing with diviners is forbidden and what you are suffering from is due to your having consulted that diviner. Have trust in Allah and ask Him for forgiveness, but rest assured that whatever Allah has decreed will take place. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
