Answer:
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can
misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We
bear witness that there is no one (no idol,
no person, no grave, no
prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah Subhanah has given man
intelligence, and if man uses this bestowed intelligence and invents machinery
and technology to improve his condition and is good and beneficial for mankind
in general, there is absolutely no harm
in it.
But if man uses this
intelligence, to create or invent things which lead to evil or harm man and
society, then these will be considered
impermissible and a sin.
If advancement in science and
technology has allowed man to invent an artificial heart, or a limb, or an eye,
or anything else; there is
absolutely no harm and no sin in men taking advantage of these breakthroughs in
technology and research. There is
nothing in Shariah or Islamic Law which prevents man developing things which
are beneficial to mankind.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4220 Narrated by Arfajah ibn As'ad
AbdurRahman ibn
Tarafah said that his grandfather Arfajah ibn As'ad who had his nose cut off at
the battle of al-Kilab got a silver nose, but it developed a stench, so the
Prophet (saws) ordered him to get a gold nose.
Q-2: string instrument is
forbidden in Islam, my question is : I bought a guitar long time back. I never
use it anymore, also broke already. and just put in my storage. My cousin
take it without my permision repair it and use for singing on road by taking
money from people. It is consider as my sin or not, since I am the one who
bought it.
If you had bought the
guitar, and given it to your cousin or
he had taken it with your permission,
and subsequently he played music with it; you would share the blame and be a partner with him in his sin.
But since you did not permit him
and he took it without your approval,
and since his usage of the guitar to play music makes you unhappy
because Allah and His Messenger (saws) have declared forbidden the playing of
illegal music; you are absolutely free
of blame and will have no share in the sin of your cousin.
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
