texts:
Generally it's good to say inshallah ("Allah willing") when saying one will do things in the future, for example: "inshallah, I'll go to Egypt one day";  "inshallah, I'll graduate from college";  "I'll go to the dentist after work, inshallah"; "inshallah, I'll find a nice husband".

  And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow," Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct." -- Qur'an 18:23-24

Sometimes we talk about acts we are intending not to do, for example:  "I'm not going to that conference in New Zealand"; "I'm not paying for that"; "I'm already learning Spanish, I'm not going to learn Korean too"; "I'm never getting married".  It's seemingly out of place to say 'inshallah' in these instances, despite it being possible for Allah to intervene if He willed.

Question: Should one say inshallah for acts they're intending not to perform?

There seems to be a curious distinction between the two, which I'm finding tricky to separate.

texts:
As we know that shaheed have a great status in heaven and we believe according to our learning that shaheed always alive they never died. But according to the rules shaheed wife also called as widow of that person (shaheed).

texts: If a Muslim man marries a Christian woman, what are the conditions for the wedding ceremony?

I know that Muslim men can marry Christian or Jewish women, but how must the ceremony take place?

Does it have the be in a mosque and performed by an Imam? Naturally, the woman would prefer it to take place in a Church. Can it be performed in a neutral place, such as a secular venue performed by a non-religious person so it would be valid in the law, but what about within Islam?


texts: Can we get married without the consent of the husbands parents?

texts:
Assalamualykum

Please advise as a matter of urgency ?

I am a 29 year old Female , I was married when I was 18 and I have a child which is already 9 years old. I got divorced in 2011 as my X husband was taking drugs, I suffered much in my past life .

I found a guy this year but he is originally from india , he lives in My country that is South Africa. He is 24 years of age and we fell deeply in love and he comes home to my house , he resides with sister in laws who he works for and stays with them too, I have never met them as they don't really consider me coming to they house as I am not of they culture etc etc.

This guys has decided that we going to marry in January 28th 2017, he came home spoke to my family about marriage etc. he even paid half for our honeymoon and I have also arranged a few things my side and everybody knows we getting married , including his sister in laws and the people at my work and neighbours family etc.

At first during about a month ago his mum cried saying he must not get married to me as I was married before and I have a child. He tried to convince them and this is also after he met my family, then he advised he rather marry me and then convince them.

Then we were in preparation for the wedding and 3 weeks ago his father called and cried telling his sister in laws that if he decided to get married to me then they must kick him out of the business and they will disown him.

But everybody knows we were going to get married besides his parents as he advised he will convince them later on and we will get people speaking to them about our marriage.

His sisters in laws are not straight people , they never meet me but advising the parents wrong things about me etc like I am a south African and I will not allow they son to see them and I am 4 years elder then him.

He still loves me but dissapointed me saying we cannot marry as his parents are crying and don't want me because im elder then him and was married before.
I came out from a very difficult past as mentioned earlier and he never came once to my house and decided that , we met few times and a wedding was about to take place.

He still loves me and wants to marry me but is telling me now we have to wait for his parents to agree or else he cant ?

But this after he advised we will convince them after marriage.

I am suffering with trauma , have to face people daily at work and community  because we were about to get married. I lost my dad when I was young so my mum and everybody is stressed out on this.

What was the right thing for him to ?

Jazkallah

texts: Are syncretic adaptations of folk practices forbidden?

texts:
I come from the Balkans and I have been curious about a certain folk practice among the Muslims of that region:  it could be translated as "rinsing of fears".  It is usually performed on young children under a belief that it dispels general weakness or eliminates psychological trauma.  Here is how it goes:

An old woman (has to be a woman, preferably older) takes a few pieces of lead (yes, this could be hazardous for health) and melts it in some form of utensil over flames.  Then she takes the molten lead and a small pot of water over the child's head and dumps the molten lead into the water while saying some Quranic verses.  Then I think she takes the solidified lead from water and makes some interpretations based on the solid shape it took.

While I do come from a Muslim background, I am not really religious nor knowledgeable about Islam but this somehow seems like a practice syncretically integrated into Islam from the Pagan times, much like the modern Christian tradition of Xmas trees originates from the Pagan times.

My question is whether something like this is actually forbidden by Islam or Islam does leave room for syncretic folk practices based on the local heritage.

texts: Why is إِنَّا translated to "indeed we" (Sahih International)? E.g. إِنَّا لِلَّهِ = "Indeed we belong to Allah"

texts:
Consider, for example, the following verses:

الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return."
Qur'an 2:156
فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَاهُمْ إِذْ جَاءَهُم بَأْسُنَا إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"
Qur'an 7:5

Quran.com maps إِنَّا to "indeed we" and وَإِنَّا to "and indeed we" (2:156) and also maps إِنَّا to "indeed we" (7:5).  However, this seems to be derived from أنا (ʾanā) meaning "I".  Perhaps there's some nuance here I'm unaware of (I'm only just starting on the Arabic alphabet).
Question: Why is إِنَّا translated to "indeed we"?


texts: In my kids' history books the Islamic conquests always seem to end around Pakistan, but clearly Indonesia is the most populous Islamic country in the world today.

texts: What does Islam offer to protect a child of a haram relationship?

texts:
Islam is against zina and condemns it and has rulings on punishing people who commit it like the punishment by stoning for married adulterers (on which at least all earlier scholars sunni's shi'a and ibadi's seem to agree) and we accept the hadith of the Ghamidi woman (الغامدية) whom has committed adultery during the time of the Prophet() whom's punishment was delayed until she gave birth and breast fed her child etc. (see also in sunan abi Dawod, an-Nasa'i and sahih Muslim).

I've not come across so far to any hadith explaining or presenting the future life of an offspring of such a relationship no matter if the parents have been punished by lashes or stoning.

Therefore I'd like to know what the Islamic shari'a offers to protect a child of a haram relationship, such as it won't be treated badly or pointed at as a child of zina (negative attribute) in the community?

It would be great if the possibilities of punishment of the parents were addressed (for example stoned, punished by lashes, both, one)...

texts: Is there a reason for sacrificing a ram of a certain color and color around the eyes?

texts:
Going through hadiths where Muhammad SAW sacrificed an animal, I noticed that there is a similar description or pattern about the type of animal he SAW used to sacrifice.

My question is: is there a reason for choosing a ram of a certain color and color around the eyes?

Below are some hadith related to the description of the animal:

  Sunan Ibn Majah » Chapters on Sacrifices  “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
  sacrificed a horned, defectless ram with a black stomach, black feet
  and black around its eyes.”  English reference     : Vol. 4, Book 26,
  Hadith 3128 Arabic reference   : Book 26, Hadith 3248

  Sunan Abi Dawud » Book of Sacrifice (Kitab Al-Dahaya)  The Messenger
  of Allah (ﷺ) used to sacrifice a choice, horned ram with black round
  the eyes, the mouth and the feet.  English translation     : Book 15,
  Hadith 2790

  Jami` at-Tirmidhi » The Book on Sacrifices » Hadith "The Messenger of
  Allah (ﷺ) slaughtered a horned male ram of fine pedigree, (around) his
  mouth was black, and his legs were black, and (around) his eyes was
  black. English translation     : Vol. 3, Book 17, Hadith 1496

  Sunan Abi Dawud » Book of Sacrifice (Kitab Al-Dahaya) The Prophet
  (Saws) ordered a horned ram with black legs, black belly and black
  round the eyes, and it was brought from him to sacrifice. He said:
  'Aishah, get the knife then he said: Sharpen it with a stone. So I
  did. He took it, then take the ram he placed it on the ground and
  slaughtered it. He then said: In the name of Allah. O Allah, accept it
  for Muhammad, Muhammad's family and Muhammad's people. Then he
  sacrificed it. English translation     : Book 15, Hadith 2786

texts: When Iblis said: "My Lord! Grant me respite till the Day when they will be resurrected."

texts:
When iblis refused to prostrate, how did iblis know about the day of resurrection, when he said: "My Lord! Grant me respite till the Day when they will be resurrected."?

I mean, did he know we were going to be sent on earth? Or was Adam in another jannah, since the Quran states no eye has seen paradise and it is not heard of.


texts: Does خنزير الماء (or literally pig of the sea) in this statement or fatwa really refers to a Capyabra?

texts:
In his explanation of the hadith (on sea food and sea water):

  "lts water is pure, and its dead creatures are halal."
  (Sources: al-Muwatta' 1 & 2, sunan ibn Majah 1, 2, 3, 4, sunan abi Dawod, Jami' at-Tirmdihi, sunan an-Nasa'i 1, 2 and 3)

Imam ibn 'Abd-Al-Barr ابن عبد البر quotes in his at-Tamhid التمهيد لما في الموطأ من المعاني والأسانيد a statement of imam Malik and his student Abdurrhamn ibn al-Qassim about an "animal?" which literally translated from Arabic is called the pig of water or water pig:

  وكره مالك خنزير الماء من جهة اسمه ، ولم يحرمه ، وقال : أنتم تقولون خنزير ، قال ابن القاسم  : أنا أتقيه ولا أراه حراما .  (source)

Malik considers (eating) it as makruh, but not haram just because of the meaning of it's "name"! While ibn al-Qassim just says I avoid (eating) it but don't consider it haram!

Wikipedia presents a Capybara when looking for خنزير الماء. And this doesn't seem an animal known in the gulf area at the time!

So I ask myself whether the (Arabic) etymology has changed over time and they are referring to an other animal and if so which one they might mean?


texts: Is there anything in Islam about homosexuality in animals?

texts:
I am a biologist working with different animal species, especially social species, who usually have homosexual behaviors--for example, to show social status or to raise one's offspring together. I am also a Muslim and I wanted to know if there was anything on this topic in Islam.
Homosexuality is considered an "abomination" in our religion so why can it be seen in animals? I know that humans and non-human animals do not have the same "rules" in Islam, but how can it be forbidden when it seems so... natural, in social species (humans being one too)?
Please note that my question is totally serious and sincere and that I do not say that forbidding homosexuality is unfair: I am only looking for information. Thank you.

My answer to What to do if the husband wants oral sex but the wife thinks it's haraam? made me think about how Muslim spouses can have an adventurous sex life without resorting to  I'm-uncertain-if-this-is-halal acts.

Question: How can adventurous Muslim spouses spice up their sex life?

I often see claims like the following online:

  Sexual exploration is an open field- I mean a huge open field... -- Spice up your sex life- it's all halal!

followed by a mix of obvious and/or yawn-worthy suggestions.  There's claims around that Muslim spouses are able to be wild in the bedroom, yet many things seem forbidden: masturbation, anal sex, pornography, open relationships, etc.

Some off-the-top-of-my-head ideas would be: rubbing ice on each others bodies, feeding each other, wearing sexualized clothes and costumes, role playing ("I am a mighty warlord, and we have just taken your village...").

I'm seeking something more comprehensive and general than "a bunch of random ideas I thought of".  And, ideally, some method for determining the haram/halal status on the fly ("...hold on honey, I'm just Googling fatawa..." is not sexy).


texts: My friend me in his dream that I was carrying a jinn child and disappeared

My friend who is a Sikh by religion called me up and said he saw me in a dream . “He saw that we were on some mountain along with his aunt and there were few children playing. I carry one of the child who actually was a jinn and then I disappear and he was shouting calling my name in dream”.
What would this mean?
He said he never sees such dreams
This has worried me because many dreams I saw in past have come true

texts:
I often go out with my friends (most of them are non-Muslim) and visit their place of worship and it feels good as I gain knowledge about what and how they worship (I never worship or pray with them). Is it haram to visit other religious places in Islam?

NOTE: ALLAH(Swt) has implied that

  it is incumbent on every Muslim to gain knowledge.

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.

I am just wondering what is the true meaning of this ayah is, does it imply that Iblis (may Allah(swt) curse him) is an angel?


texts: What is the explanation of the apparent contradiction on manumission of slaves in ahadith?

texts:
There is whole section in sahih bukhari about manumitting slaves
But there are other narrations like:

Jabir b. 'Abdullah said that a person among the Ansar declared his
slave free after his death, as he had no other property. This news
reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said:
Who will buy him from me? And Nu'aim b. al-Nahham bought him for eight
hundred dirhams and he handed them over to him, 'Amr (one of the
narrators) said: I heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah as saying: He was a Coptic
slave, and he died in the first year (of the Caliphate of 'Abdullah b.
Zubair).
https://sunnah.com/muslim/27/86

Narrated Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) that she manumitted her
slave-girl and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "You would have got more
reward if you had given the slave-girl to one of your maternal
uncles."
https://sunnah.com/bukhari/51/28

There was another hadith about 6 slaves being freed upon someones death and after that casting lots to decide who would be freed that was explained already so I excluded that.
These narrations were put forward by some non-muslims.The narrations at first I found to be odd but then saw them in the Bukhari and Muslim so, can't really reject them.
2nd hadith apparently seems to say that giving slaves as gifts is more preferred than freeing them is that a correct veiw?
How do I reconcile these two narrations with the narrations of manumitting slaves?


texts: Is it okay to get married then a year or so later tell the parents?

texts:
Suppose you are an adult (according to Allah) like 16-18, but a child according to society and your family, and you want to get married for Islamic reasons (keeping away from zinnah [adultery]) and both the man and woman agree. I know you should get the permission of the parents but they are ignorant on these matters as they have been strongly swayed by today's customs (may Allah guide us all) and believe one must get a degree and buy a house then by age 28 go get married, and before then suppress our sexual desires or even secretly relieve them. It is genuinely just a "hassle and stress" to ask permission, so...

Would it be OK if they got married for the sake of Allah then a year or so later tell their parents?

Also I know how important it is to provide for your wife, but like I said in such a society getting a job and house by age 16 is very difficult, so can you be married lawfully but remain in parents' house then when you can support her (which you should try asap) then tell parents?


texts: Surah Rahman - Does meaning of وَضَعَ changes in the two ayahs?

texts:
In Surah Rahman

Verse 7, Allah says

  وَالسَّمَاءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ

  And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance

But in the Verse 10, Allah says

  وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ

  And the earth He laid [out] for the creatures.

Are the words in bold not the same? If yes, does the meaning of the word change with context in Arabic?

texts:
A person was praying. While he was standing ( reciting surah fatiha ), he got a gas pressure in his bowels and he tensed his muscles to prevent the gas from leaking. Then he went to Ruku, Sujood and completed the first rakat. When he stood up for the second rakat, he didn't feel the pressure of gas anymore. He didn't have to tense his bowel muscles as he could feel no gas being held within .
This person didn't feel that wind passed when he was doing the Ruku ,Sujood. So he has no self proof that he passed wind .
But if we look at the situation logically, the gas must have leaked out when he was doing Ruku or Sujood .
So should the person :
1.Assume that he didn't pass wind and continue praying
2.Assume that his wudhu is broken andown his prayer is invalid, so start all over again.
Which option should he choose
Please answer
Jazakallahu Khan in advance


texts: Is it haram to be a vegan? I'm currently a vegetarian, simply because I don't enjoy meat as much as I did before. I don't think that we really need meat to survive, and all this mass production is just horrible! For the animals and for our body, those animals are mostly sick because of their poorly living in a way too small cage and they basically transfer their illness to us, it's just horrible. Same with the egg and dairy industry. I would enjoy those products if people weren't so cruel and kept the animals in a good way. In the dairy industry as an example they get the cow pregnant and once the cow gives birth her baby is taken away from her just to get killed. I just hate how humans use animals as a material; and like I said, I just strongly disapprove of the mass production, I want my body to be healthy and I don't think that stuffing my body with poison will do. Is my thinking wrong? And would it be okay to be vegan?

Other possibilities

Even if He did, He did with a purpose to show the people that He is able to do all things and that's it.  And if one makes dua to Him, then He'll not reverse the time back."

I'm on a path to being a muslims, Insha'allah. Right now I am Atheist. I have a Question about '' Burning of Masjid al-Dirar '' I cannot find much in depth description about it. People are comparing ISIS to Muhammad (saw) who ordered the mosque to be burned down with people inside. I know in my heart this is not correct. Please msg back. Thanks

P.S I know wikileaks is against islam by claiming isis flag to be the flag of islam.

texts: Are all non-Jewish/Christian/Muslim people kafirs?

texts:
Is everyone who is not either Jewish or Christian (dhimmis) or Muslim kafirs?

I assumed that was the case, but Wikipedia says

  The term refers to a person who rejects or disbelieves in the god of
  Islam or who hides, denies, or pays no attention to the Islamic
  version of truth.

and the section Types of disbelief seems to be describing scenarios where Islam is offered to someone, and they reject it.

Would someone who has had never had Islam promoted to them by another person still be a kafir? For example, would someone living in North Korea be a kafir, or a Japanese person who believes in Buddhism and Shinto be regarded as a kafir?


texts: Do the children need to respect their father who provoked their mother to commit suicide?

texts:
A couple was in the habit of having constant conjugal fights. In the course of one such altercation, the husband asked the wife, "Can't you get any poison?". The wife then and there got the insecticide which was incidentally at their house, drank it, and in-spite-of the best efforts from the doctors, died in hospital after fighting with death for two days.

Now, definitely, the woman is in a very big sin by committing suicide.

On the other hand, the question is, the children of this fellow want to know how should they treat their father in light of Islamic teachings? He is their father non-the-less. Again, he is the person who is indirectly responsible for the act committed by their mother.


texts:
Referring to the Prophet Isa (Jesus):

And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.  And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allah and obey me. -- Qur'an 3:49-50

It's not clear to me what the Qur'an is referring to as being made lawful here.
Question: What specifically does Jesus make lawful in Qur'an 3:50?
Online searching uncovers some tafsir:

... Thus he made lawful for them fish and birds which had no spikes; it is also said that he made it all lawful for them so that ba‘d ‘some’ means kull ‘all’. ... -- Tafsir al-Jalalayn (sourced from alTafsir.com)
That is, "I have come to efface and abolish the superstitions of your ignorant people, the hairsplitting of your jurists, the religious austerities of your ascetics and the restrictive additions made in the Law of Allah under the non-Muslim domination; I will make lawful or unlawful for you only those things which Allah has made lawful or unlawful." -- Maududi (sourced from alim.org)

(I didn't find a tafsir at QTafsir.com.)
These give a partial answer to the question, but they (seem to) say different things and don't talk about the completeness of their statements.


texts:
The People of the Book (Ahl-ul Kitab) are granted a particular status in Islam.  The Christians and the Jews, those who received and follow the previous scriptures, are easily counted among their number.

Mormonism, on the other hand, was founded over a thousand years after the time of the prophet.  Although ostensibly they follow the Bible and are thus an extension of Christianity and Judaism, they also follow the scriptures revealed by Joseph Smith, who they claim as a prophet.

Since they follow teachings based on the Bible, they could be considered "Ahl-ul Kitab" in the same way as the Christians.  However, since they have superseded the Bible with their own scriptures, scriptures which are not known in Islam, it is unclear whether they would be classified thus or not.

Has there been any major scholarly study on this matter?  Should the Mormons be treated the same as the Christians and the Jews so far as rulings are concerned?


texts: Are those falsely on benefit considered 'beggers'?

texts:
Quoting from another question

  Islam mandates zakaat to help poor. Zakaat eliminates beggary to an extent but what about habitual beggars who can otherwise earn a living? How should the lazy and habitual beggars be dealt with according to shariyah?

Some people who live on benefits can 'otherwise earn a living', but do not either due to laziness or fraud, but are not as such begging for income in the strictest sense.

How are people such as these treated Islamically?

texts: Are fictional polytheistic games haram to play?

texts:
Salam Alaykum.
On this website, there was a similar question, but I have more to add.
There are mythological games/fantasy games with elements of polytheism, specifically with playable 'gods/archons'. I don't exactly understand if it is haraam or makrooh? If it falls into doubtful stuff and has no clear ruling, could avoid any doubts make it not haram? if it's not considered shirk/kufr to play, then why would it be haram (if it is), given that players know it is all fiction and it doesn't affect their real-life beliefs?
If playing it is haram, is avoiding the plot, playable 'gods', and statues alright to make it playable?
If anyone answers, please state your sources.

texts: Is it haraam to watch porn with ones wife to learn things?

texts:
Salam !
I am here to ask whether it is permissable to watch porn for an educational purpose.
Me and my wife have done this 1 time before, and it has shown to help a little bit with the fantasising part of sex. My wife is extremely bold and likes to try new things, and she loves indulging in sex. Please help with this.
I also have some other questions
Is it haraam for a woman to be dominant in sex. My wife loves to dominate me and takes the lead. Also, Do I have to have sex until my wife climaxes? Men climax faster, and we often get tired after doing so.
Lastly, this question has elements from my first question. In schools in the UK as part of a subject named PSHE kids (age 10 (year 5) to ages 16 ( year 11)). Many parents struggle to teach children about sex in Islam, and Madrasahs do not feel comfort in doing so. Schools and what many people resort to, porn, and the only way young ones learn about sex and the beauty of it. So, is it permissible to watch such sexual videos such as a woman giving birth or a animation of sex to teach small children about sex?


texts: If someone misses years worth of salah and but he intends to make up for it, will he go hell?

texts: Is this a sahih hadith: "They are those who accumulated wealth without differentiating between lawful and unlawful..."?

Prophet narrated:

  On the Night of Mi'raj, I saw people lying on their backs with drum-like, transparent bellies where there are all kinds of creatures. I asked my brother Jibrail, "What are they?" He replied, "O the Messenger of Allah, they are from your Ummah [community, nation]." I asked again, "What is their guilt?" He answered, "They are those who accumulated wealth without differentiating between lawful and unlawful means and who did not think whether the money they earned was lawful or unlawful. The unlawful substances they consumed turned to this state in their bodies."

This hadith can be found on My Religion Islam.

Is this a sahih hadith?


texts: Does the Quran say that the Universe is expanding?

texts:
There is quite bit of hype among Muslims who's says, it is in the Quran that the Universe is expanding. They quote the verse 51:47. A link that quotes this  is here.

  Sahih International

  And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its]
  expander.

Sahih International translation says something but other translations say something else:

  Pickthall

  We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make
  the vast extent (thereof).

  Yusuf Ali

  With power and skill did We
  construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.

  Shakir

  And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely
  We are the makers of things ample.

What is the truth?

texts: Is it permissible for Muslims to receive subsidy for performing Hajj?

texts:
It's a known fact that Hajj is fard only if one is physically and financially able,

as the Qurán says it in Al-e-imran :

"In it are clear signs, the standing place of Ibrahim, and whoever enters it shall be secure, and pilgrimage to the House is incumbent upon men for the sake of Allah, (upon) **

  every one who is able to undertake the journey to it

**; and whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is Self-sufficient, above any need of the worlds." 3:97
but ,my question is

"Is Hajj permissible/allowed/halal when the government subsidizes the money required to go to Hajj?"

P.S:Hajj is subsidized in India.
Ministry of Civil Aviation provides subsidy for air travel to the pilgrims through the Haj Committee of India.  The amount on air travel charged per pilgrim during Haj 2014 was Rs. 35,000/-(529.874 US Dollar) whereas the actual air fare ranged from Rs. 63,750(965.13 US Dollar) to Rs. 1,63,350(2473 US Dollar) depending on the embarkation point in India.

Edit:No,its not a debt.

texts: Do the believers in Jannah pay the Zakat?

texts:
If the believers in Jannah do pay the Zakat, how does the payment reach the recipients and in what form?

This question comes from the common Islamic belief that the life of Issa was never ended by the Jews.

In Surah 19:29-31 the Quran shows us that Issa declared

  Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy ? He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet, And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,

So if Issa (or any other believer) is alive in Jannah, is he paying the Zakat?

nor do you worship what I worship.109:3
I will never **worship what you worship,109:4
nor will you ever worship what I worship.109:5

And argue not with the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), unless it be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good manner, inviting them to Islamic Monotheism with His Verses), except with such of them as do wrong, and say (to them): "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you; our Ilah (God) and your Ilah (God) is One (i.e. Allah), and to Him we have submitted (as Muslims)."
Muhsin Khan 46:29

So in chapter 109(kafiroon) Allah said disbelievers do not worship the same God as Muslims worship(Prophet muhammad saw) and in 29:46 Allah says our Ilah (God) and your Ilah (God) is One (i.e. Allah), and to Him we have submitted (as Muslims) is same.

texts: What are Allah's mercy and justice, and how do they relate to each other?

texts:
In the comments to this answer, someone claims that nothing can be deduced from the statements that Allah is described as Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim, and Al-'Adl without textual proof about the way those characteristics are manifested. The contention was that Allah being Al-'Adl does not imply that the more severe of two sins has to carry the heavier punishment.

Now this gives me serious trouble understanding what mercy and justice are supposed to mean in islam. I know what I mean by those words, but it appears to me - and I only took the comment made under that answer as the occasion to ask this question, I've often had it on my mind - that in islam, the juxtaposition and inherent contradiction between the principles of mercy and justice (i seem to recall to have read that the sufi shuyukh sometimes even encourage the muridun to reflect on the contradictions between divine names) is unresolved, or supposedly resolved by "Allah does what He wills".

Far from actually resolving the issue in my mind, this suggests to me that Ar-Rahman and Al-'Adl do not tell us anything about how Allah will incline to act. For example, the matter of intercession seems quite arbitrary and unjust to me - even though one of the names of that day, the Day of Judgement, suggests that justice is the order of the day. From my point of view, this seems to suggest that the contradiction between those principles induces a chaotic state of "we don't know what will happen other than that we should be afraid and hope for the best". I would find it strange if the central teachings of islam were really shrouded in that much uncertainty.

Therefore, I'd like to ask what principles the scholars say constitute the names Ar-Rahman and Al-'Adl; not by example, but by describing the principles involved. As an illustration, Western legal theory describes justice by identifying defining principles that together constitute justice: punishment being proportional to the crime (proportionality), equality before the law, predictability of legal decisions - to name some of the most important ones. Notably, some of these principles can be in conflict, and so the concept of "justice" is one where sometimes not all its components can be realized together. Of course I don't assume that islam considers those things constitutive of Allah's name Al-'Adl (although it may), those are just examples to illustrate what kind of answer I'm looking for.

Thus, my question in short:

What principles are grouped together in the names Ar-Rahman and Al-'Adl? Please specify the principles instead of giving examples, I know enough examples but they don't give me any clearer a picture than I described above.
How do they relate to each other, and how are contradictions between the names of Allah resolved, if at all?
In what way are the characteristics mercy and justice subject to "Allah does what he wills"?
Since I expect that any answer might be quite long, are there books on this that give a good overview of the views present in the mainstream traditions? I would include sufism in that, but I know the sufis are not always the most concrete about what they say.


texts: Why does Shi'a Islam differ so much regarding Abu Bakr, Omar and Othman, compared to Sunni teachings?

texts:
It is well-known that Sunnis treat the closest companions of the Prophet (i.e.,
Abu Bakr, Omar Ibn Alkhattab and Othman Ibn Affan (Radiya Allahu Anhum رضي الله عنهم اجمعين)) with the greatest of respect.  Why then do the Shi'a tend to dislike them and treat them with such contempt?

I know some Shi'a do not (e.g., the Zaidi's in Yemen, the Shi'as in Southern Iraq and the Arab Shi'a in Ahwaz,) but many do dislike them. They won't even name their sons after Omar, Abu Bakr and Othman; it is almost impossible to find Shi'as with one of these names, whereas they are very common names among Sunnis.

I have also heard that Abu Lo'lo'ah (أبو لؤلؤة), the killer of Omar Ibn Alkhattab (RA), is actually venerated as a hero in some Shi'a schools, whereas the Sunni consider him a criminal.

Please note: I am not looking for an in-depth analysis here, just a summary of how this substantial difference in opinion came to be.


texts: What is the position on fighting against seemingly unwinnable odds?

texts:
There are several battles won by Muslim armies where the opponent outnumbers them heavily and yet it is still fought. Some famous ones are the Battle of Badr where the Meccan army fielded "an army three times larger than that of the Muslims", the Battle of Yarmouk where Khalid ibn al-Walid led a defeat of an army possibly ten times the size, and the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah where the Persian army was again, possibly three times larger.

On the other hand, it wasn't always a victory against the odds for the Muslims, as the Battle of Tours, also referred to as Battle of the Palace of the Martyrs, shows.

Since the outcome of a battle is unknown to the generals, and since greater odds usually mean defeat (which is why defeats by much smaller armies are notable) why is it not considered suicidal to engage the larger army? Sometimes it's unavoidable, such as an attack on your home, but not all these battles would meet this standard.

My understanding is that suicide is a great sin, so what makes seemingly unassailable odds any different? Surely a truly great general would know the huge risk.

texts: Is receiving a daily return on a cryptocurrency investment halal, haram, or makruh?

texts:
I invested in a cryptocurrency.  The company offered a mining and stake pool program.  In that program, they have a return on investment (ROI), so I took a part of it.

For example: buy a 100 coin and invest it into mining and stake pool program.  The contract of program is one year.  Their ROI for 100 coin is 0.4 coins, so I invest in 100 coins.  I take a daily payment, so every day I get 0.4 coins until my contract is done.

So the question is: is it halal or haram or makrooh??

texts:
I have a moral and ethical dilemma. I believe that the world is a cold and cruel place to be in.

Being 26 many people I know are getting married and having children. I say "why?" Why bring an innocent child into the world just to make them live in this jungle? This is paradise for the nonbeliever and a prison for the believer. Why subject an innocent life to endure these horrible tests of faith until they depart from the world?

I believe that in my not having children I will potentially save hundreds or even thousands of future descendants from having to go through with living in this prison. Is this haram?

What are the benefits of using a Miswak ?
When should one use a Miswak ?
How to place a Misswak in idle time vertical or horizontal ?

Why is there a difference between the names of prophets in christianity, islam and Judaism, for example we refer to  Jesus (AS) as Isa(AS).

How did this difference occur and why?

A name is a name no matter which language it is!

texts: Does my husband have any right to my earnings?

texts: Assalamau Alaikkum. I'm married and working. I got married before 2 years. My husband is good and he does five times prayer. But when it comes to money he behaves differently. He wants my full salary. He had blocked my online bank account. I mean he has changed the password for internet banking and he is not sharing the password. If I ask him the password, he says no I'm your husband I should take care of all your expenses and everything and your duty is to go office and come like that. But I think as per the rule he doesn't force me to give my money to him. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't even know how he spends my money and for what he spends. If I ask he will say I don't have to say all to you, no such rule like that. I don't have freedom at all though I'm earning. Please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere and suggest me what should I do.


texts: Earning from news website is halal or haram?

texts:
I am a blogger and earning from Google adsense. I am going to start a news blog, but before starting I want to know whether sharing news like political news, sports news, weather news, hacking news, tech news and other local news is halal or haram? I will also share images in these news and video if needed.

Examples: Propakistani.pk, apakistani.pk.

PS: I checked all the other questions related to websites but there is no satisfying answers.

texts: Why are they called sects in Islam and not denominations?

texts:
I understand that Islam has different ideologies and ways of interpreting the Qur'an, and those people with like views will stay together and call themselves a group.

Though I wonder, why is each group called a sect when that word has a normally negative connotation to it? Is there a historical reason for using the word sect? Why, instead, isn't each group called a denomination? Is that a strictly Christian word or can it be used?


texts: Is a tournament with an entry fee and first- and second-prize money gambling?

texts:
My friends invited me to participate in a football tournament (FIFA) competition. A participant will have to pay 200 taka (less than $US 3) for entering. The winner will get 600 taka and the runner up will get 350 taka. Since there is a matter of money and a possibility of losing the money, I am quite unsure about my participation.

I want to know whether these types of competitions are permissible or not. Is it a type of gambling or not?


texts:
In an arranged marriage setting, can we send girl's picture without head scarf to a potential suitor's mother/sister.. not knowing for sure if they will delete the photo if not interested.
The family of the suitors have stated many times that they will come to the house for further talk if they like the girl.. which is acceptable in Islam as well. They have the right to see whom they are choosing for their son.
If we do not send without hijab pics.. they do not reply and the matter gets closed.. many proposals are going because of this.. please elaborate on this.
JazakAllahu khairan

texts: Is it permissible to work in a NGO that has a microfinance program, which is also one of it's source of fund?

texts:
Praise to Almighty Allah.
After more than 1.5 years of being unemployed, I finally got an offer from an International NGO (BRAC,www.brac.net) to work as an IT advisor in their Health, Nutrition and Population Program (HNPP). BRAC has several program, HNPP, Education, poverty alleviation, social development, and Microfinance (this one is RIBA). It gets funds from various donor agency, social enterprises funded by BRAC and earning from Microfinance. They also have an investment in retail bank (own 44% of BRAC bank) . My job doesn't involve working with microfinance program and exclusive to HNPP only.
I know that working in Bank is not permissible, not even as janitor.
My question is should I accept this job offer from this organization which has a microfinance program?


texts:
For those who are not familiar with the dilemma, imagine a trolley is hurtling towards five unsuspecting workers. Do you pull a switch to divert the trolley onto another track, where only one man works alone? Or do you do nothing?

So I was having a conversation with my friends about this dilemma,the majority of them were saying that they would pull the switch becasue they are saving 5 people instead of one and thus choosing the slightest harm.
And some others were saying that they would choose to do nothing because pulling the switch would make them accountable for the death of that man.
The first group was then arguing that their innaction would still kill 5 people but the second group was disagreing, claming that would not be responsible for those deaths.

So I guess what im asking is what would be the best way for a muslim to act in this situation ? What is the position of Islam on "innaction" in this scenario ? Would it count as a murder/sin if you choose to pull the switch ?


texts: Does one need to not consume any alcohol or drugs at least 30 days prior to the 1st day of Ramadan?

texts:
I've heard my friends say (with absolutely no source to support it) that in order to fast Ramadan you need to be clean, i.e., not consume any alcohol or drugs at least 30 days prior to 1st day of Ramadan.

My opinion is that you shouldn't drink or consume drugs anyway. The 30 days or whatever period shouldn't matter.

Does anyone have credible source to give more information about this?


texts: What is the link between mentioning oprhans and the permission for polygyny in (4:3)?

texts:
Why does the famous and well known verse about polygyny starts by referring to orphans:

  And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice]. (4:3)

There must certainly be a reason why Allah started the verse referring to orphans.
Does anybody can explain it?


texts: I need some clarification what an imam said during the Friday prayer 2 weeks ago

texts:
Well first and foremost salamu haleikum

I heard him saying:"A person will get taken out of this world if this person does everything right according to Quran." I think this is rubbish because it might pursue others to do more bad things than they already do. It even persuaded me for a moment to do more bad things according to Quran but then I thought what is this for nonsense. Look at people like sheikh Sudais or other important muslims. Why didn't get they taken out of this world?

Can you please clarify this for me? Because my reasoning could have some improvement.

texts: Who are the three (different?) addressee's in verse (10:87)?

texts:
First be aware that the issue can only be observed in the Arabic original as the verse (10:87) in its English translation looks like:

  And We inspired to Moses and his brother, "Settle your people in Egypt in houses and make your houses [facing the] qiblah and establish prayer and give good tidings to the believers."

But in fact as the verse starts the addressee's seem to be Musa and his brother only as in Arabic only the dual plural is used and tells them (Arabic and my commentary to show the linguistic issue):

  أَن تَبَوَّءَا لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُيُوتًا
  (Dual-plural): Both of you( Musa and Harun?) settle your people in Egypt in houses

then it moves further and says:

  َاجْعَلُواْ بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلَوةَ
  (Plural 3+): and make your houses [facing the] qiblah and establish prayer

before ending by addressing single person:

  وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
  and (You -singular-) give good tidings to the believers.

This seems like the first part of the verse addresses Musa () and Harun () (his brother), the second part seems to address a group Musa, Harun and their people? or only the followers of Musa() and Harun ()? And the last part seems to address a single person, but who is it Musa ()?

How is this verse interpreted in tafsir books and who are the addressee's of each part?

texts: How to understand the Hadith "..I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer..."?

texts:
(38) Chapter: The humility or modesty or lowliness(38)باب التَّوَاضُعِ

  Narrated Abu Huraira:
  Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protection (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

I want detailed explanation of this sentence from the Hadith above mentioned:

  " I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him."


texts: Why the exact date of Laylat al-Qadr (night of power) is not specified?

texts:
Why the exact date of Laylat al-Qadr is not specified in Islamic resources ?

I hear that people say the reason is to fill the last 10 odd nights with ibadah. But I think if it was so, Islam could just ask people for ibadah in those nights for other reasons instead.  I think there should be something deep about this uncertainty of Laylat al-Qadr.


texts:
I was discussing with a friend the term

كرامت

He was really confident, that people can fly and teleport if he has keramet. Or if someone is a really bad human he also can fly. I told to him that keramet could mean just a talent that someone has. For example being smart like Einstein. What do you think about that? And what is the exact definition of keramet?

Can an Islamic Imam get married?
Are they premitted pleasure marriages?


texts: The Adhan for Fajr is almost to the end of time, but dawn is half an hour before

texts:
Prayer timetable says that dawn is at 3:53am, and the sun rises at 5:45am. The Adhan for Fajr is very close to 5:45, something like 20minutes before.
 My question is, if I am going to fast(Dhul Hijja) I can eat until dawn, can I pray Fajr before the Adhan around 4? Why is Adhan so late, or is it the timetable that is making the problem? If it is, if dawn is later than it is written, why does it say that it is that early and people can't eat anymore from that early time?


texts:
Doing righteous deeds is mentioned a zillion times in the Qur'an, e.g.:

And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. ... -- Qur'an 2:25
...those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. -- Qur'an 2:62
But they who believe and do righteous deeds - those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally. -- Qur'an 2:82

Indeed, on reading the Qur'an, I considered it to among the most important take-home lessons.  Instruction to do good deeds occurs with frequency comparable to that of instructions to pray (and they often come together).  It seems strange to me that doing good deeds is not, as a result, listed as a pillar of Islam.
Question: Why is "doing righteous deeds" not a pillar of Islam?
I'm not sure how the pillars are determined, and there's a difference between Sunni and Shia pillars (according to Wikipedia).  It could possibly be part of "enjoining what is right", although I'm not clear on this.

texts: Why do Muslims say that man holds the earth in trust?

texts:
In 2015, there was an Islamic Declaration on Climate Change which was organised by a number of Islamic organisations including Islamic Relief Worldwide, Greenfaith and others. This was presented to the UN and to carry on this work, the organisation Global Muslim Climate Network was set up.
Nana Firman, the then co-chair of this organisation said at the time:

Islam teaches us that 'man is simply a steward whilst holding whatever is on earth in trust.'

I've read this before - elsewhere.
Q. Why is this, is it justified by reference to the Hadith or Qu'ran or both?

texts: Do step by step instructions exist on how to perform the purest supplication?

texts:
I originally had a question about:

  Quran - 40/60: Call upon Me; I will respond to you.

What I wanted to know was, how do you go about calling Allah?  It seems I have found the answer:

  Quran - 2/186: I respond to the invocation of the
  supplicant when he calls upon Me

This lead me to another question:

Via the Quran and/or hadith, have we been given step by step instructions on the best and purest method to perform a supplication?  i.e. when should a supplication be performed, how should a supplication be performed, what should be said in a supplication, should something be recited before a supplication, should something be recited after a supplication etc.?

If you missed the question, the question is:

Have we been given step by step instructions on the best and purest method to perform a supplication?


texts: Should one make Salat with or without shoes on?

texts:
I have always thought that one makes Salat without shoes on, but there is the following Hadith which says:

خَالِفُوا الْيَهُودَ فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي نِعَالِهِمْ وَلاَ
خِفَافِهِمْ
Act differently from the Jews, for they do not pray in their sandals
or their shoes
Sunan Abi Dawood

So my question is, according to authentic sources, should one pray with ones shoes on or off?

texts: Can descendants of the Prophet (syed) receive zakah?

texts:
Rasulullah said:

  Narrated Abu Huraira: Al-Hasan bin `Ali took a date from the dates
  given in charity and put it in his mouth. The Prophet said, "Expel it
  from your mouth. Don't you know that we do not eat a thing which is
  given in charity?" (Bukhari and Muslim)

This hadith clearly outlines the impermissibility of a "syed" person (someone proven to be from the lineage of rasulullah) receiving sadaqah from anyone else.

Is it permissible for them, then, to receive zakah?

Some groups and individuals believe other things about someone who is syed. That's fine, but don't answer this question with things like "syeds can take zakah" or "syeds can take zakah from syeds," or other beliefs. This is a clearly-stated axiom of my question.

Also, this question ignores the largely modern issue of actually proving someone is syed. Don't go there; that's a tangent, and something a lot of people claim to today. Again, the assumption is that you can or have verified that someone really IS syed.


texts: What if a person on a journey broke the fast of Ramadan?

texts:
This: Traveling During Ramadan: Should I Still Fast? made me think about the following question:

What if a person -like somebody who is on a journey during Ramadan- who had the choice not to fast, but decided to fast before the end of the day broke his/her fast.

This person started the day fasting in Ramadan (even if he/she had the permission to eat), but later maybe due to heat or whatever reason decided to break his/her fast before the sunset.

What are the views of scholars about this: Do they need only to fast that day as qada' or is a kafara necessary ...?

Qiyaam al-layl time 2:30 to 3:30 am

What is the difference between Taraweeh prayer and Qiyaam al-layl prayer?

I need some authentic references over this.


texts:
I'm doing some research about freedom of speech in Islam, and I am wondering if there are instances where satire on Islam is permitted.

One of my points of reference is in Judaism, where there exists a concept called "Purim Torah" which is when Jews traditionally draw silly and humorous conclusions and lessons from stories in the Torah that are clearly not the real lesson or may not even make much sense in reality.

Do we have a similar allowance for such a practice in Islam?


texts: What to do when Isha times on mosque calendar is wrong?

texts:
2 days ago, I was going to pray Isha. The mosque timetable said Isha starts at 10:38. However, Isha starts when twilight finishes.

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ فَقَالَ  " وَقْتُ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ مَا لَمْ يَطْلُعْ قَرْنُ الشَّمْسِ الأَوَّلُ وَوَقْتُ صَلاَةِ الظُّهْرِ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَنْ بَطْنِ السَّمَاءِ مَا لَمْ يَحْضُرِ الْعَصْرُ وَوَقْتُ صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ مَا لَمْ تَصْفَرَّ الشَّمْسُ وَيَسْقُطْ قَرْنُهَا الأَوَّلُ وَوَقْتُ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ إِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ مَا لَمْ يَسْقُطِ الشَّفَقُ وَوَقْتُ صَلاَةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ " .
٦١٢ صحيح مسلم

texts: Is this hadith aunthentic? "...so seek treatment (of illness) but do not treat (illness) with anything that is haraam."

  “Allah has sent down the disease and the remedy, and He has created a
  remedy for every disease, so seek treatment (of illness) but do not
  treat (illness) with anything that is haraam.”


texts: What exactly is the philosophy behind sending blessings and prayer to our prophet in case of Allah and the angels?

texts:
Allah ordered us to send prayers and blessings to our prophet () saying:

  Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ Allah to grant him] peace.(33:56)

from the sunnah we know the rewards and wording for those who do perform this deed.

But what exactly is the case for Allah and the angels when they sent prayers and blessing to our prophet ()? Is there a benefit for Allah in doing this, I might assume that there is for the angels at least ... so my question might be why and how is Allah doing this then and how and what is the deeper meaning or the philosophy behind this???

texts: Is Islamic divorce enough to get re-married, or do I need an English civil divorce, too?

texts:
Asslamualikum

It's been three years since I'm having problems in my marriage. Every time I mention this to someone, they ignore me. I have done so much for my husband more than his expectations and now he treats me like trash I have been talking to him for years and years still no change?

I live in England. I have been married in both ways: Islamic and civil. My husband has never mentioned he wants to divorce me, but in every situation whenever I ask him whether he's going to divorce me, he keeps on saying "I will divorce you but first I need to sort out my problems before I can sort out yours."

Basically, he didn't give me anything when we got married, like gold or money. So he's basically preparing for all that, but I have doubt that he is saying all this just to keep me quiet. For two years, I've been  telling him to divorce me, but every time, he always has this answer ready: "I will divorce you." He never seems to be bothered about it. Whenever I ask him, he would just talk around the bush, or he would just ignore everything.

I've spoken to his family about how I feel, the reasons why I want a divorce, and my situation. They are not bothered either. I don't know, but I got a feeling that my husband's and his family's intentions aren't too good or positive.

Question: I just want to ask if I can get married again if I only had the Islamic divorce, will the marriage be legal? Or will I need the English civil divorce also? After I get married, I can apply for the English divorce.


texts: Is genenoristy with the expectation of Divine reward selfish and less admirable?

I would say that an Atheist helping other people is BETTER than a Moslem helping other people because they want Allah to give him 'presents' in returns (sorry to say this). There is no sincere thing on this planet. Would believers still help other people if Allah were never promise them anything, Allah never punishes them, and heaven and hell don't exist??


texts: Is it enough to advise someone on stopping with a sin without telling them evidences?

texts:
Asking this because a few months ago i was watching/a fan of a tv show which i now realize is haram (few curse words, some inappropiate scenes). I'm saying “realize” because i used to watch it (and stopped Alhamdulillah) but during that period i told my cousins to watch it, but they didn't seem to care. Then one day my cousin apparently decides to watch it and likes it. Now i fear his sins are on me.

My question is: would it be enough if i just tell them to stop with the sin without telling him it is actually haram?


texts:
Assalamualaikum and greeting from Malaysia.

I would like to ask if Djinn can be captured by human? I would love to know it since, I have a family members that been disturb by a Djinn, we try to treat him with Islamic method and some of the method are by capturing the Djinn (but before that they will recite a Du'a from Quran which is correct base on my understanding) and they proceed by putting the Djinn in the bottle, and the bottle need to be throw into the sea or river.

Is this thing is possible in Islam? since according to history, even Prophet Muhammad doesn't catch a Djinn and put him in a bottle. I heard a story that Prophet Muhammad catching an Ifrit that try to disturb Prophet's solah, but after that, the prophet just release him.

Thus, how come the Djinn can be captured by normal human?

Thanks for the answer.


texts: Rulling on hadith regarding water wasting

texts:
Assalamualaikum,  last day when I was looking after my younger brother,  I found him playing with water and spilling it on to the bed , on seeing him wasting water  i took up the cup , at that time a thought came to my mind that prophet muhammad (let peace be upon him) had said  not to waste water  , I don't exactly the hadith at that time and later I searched in Google  and found this sunnah Ibn Maajah (419) narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) passed by Sa‘d when he was doing wudoo’, and he said, “What is this extravagance, O Sa‘d?” He said: Can there be any extravagance in wudoo’? He said, “Yes, even if you are on the bank of a flowing river.”
As I said I don't know the  hadith at that time . But I had the thought that prophet muhammad said not to waste water in my mind.  At that time my brother was crying badly and I know if I gave the cup he would again spill it on bed and my mother would scold me,  I and whole members of my family were fasting so we are not able to drink the water.  So I spilled the water through window  outside.  I don't intent to reject hadith or do kufr.  Pls answer my question is it kufr I am getting worried and sick day by day . Pls answer it fastly .
Assalamualaikum

texts: Who is the "witness from the Children of Israel" mentioned in Surah Al-Ahqaf, Verse:10?

Qur'an 46:10 is as follows:

  Say, "Have you considered: if the Qur'an was from Allah , and you disbelieved in it while a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to something similar and believed while you were arrogant... ?" Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

According my understanding, an Israelite testified something from the Qur'an as truth against unbelievers.

Who was he and what exactly did he testify for? Or is my understanding about this verse incomplete/incorrect?


texts:
Salam,

I have problem that face me at my home sick. I have been worked at a certain distance from my home which allow me to held jama and qasar when it was.

But my mother said not to held it, cause it just ordinary travel which held once a week. I still held it cause I feel tired when I go home.

I still do it because, as my child, I remember that Anas bin Malik R.A. was held jama at somewhere in some years. I just not remember which / who say it.

Am I wrong??

texts: Ruling of raising hands in Du'a before Taslim

texts:
Usually while making Du'a we raise hands.

But right after Tashahud and Darood-e-Ibrahim in salah before we say "Assalamu Alaikum..." turning both sides (Taslim)

because even that is Du'a, why don't we raise our hands?
If some school of thought does it, which school of thought practice it?

texts: I recently purchased a bottle of San-J soy sauce and was wondering if it was halal to eat.  On the bottle it says in the ingredients organic alcohol (to preserve freshness). On their FAQ it states that a very small amount is added specifically "There may be some alcohol that is naturally occurring in our Tamari and we also add a very  small amount of alcohol derived from sugarcane as a natural preservative".  Can anyone clarify if this is halal or haram to eat?


texts: Does Islam allow one to force someone to stick to the rules of Islam?

texts:
I am 22 years old. I always try to behave in Islamic ways. My father is  a believer in Islam, but he doesn't pray regularly. He also does not fast during holy Ramadhan. Can I force him to do those?

Also, does Islam allow one to force anyone to stick to all the rules of Islam?


texts: Is there a distinction in obligations between a Muslim and a non-Muslim?

texts:
Most of my knowledge is about Judaism. Within Judaism, it is not considered necessary for all non-Jews to convert to Judaism.  Consequently, non-Jews do not have to follow all 613 of the laws in the Torah. Instead, non-Jews are required (according to Judaism) to follow just 7 laws, and if they follow these 7 laws, they are considered to be doing everything that is required of them. For example, Jews do not believe that Muslims should be keeping the Jewish Sabbath. Even though it is considered prohibited for Jews to, for example, drive on the Sabbath, Jews do not consider it a sin at all when a Muslim drives on the Sabbath.

My question is, what is the level of obligation for non-Muslims (according to Islam) to follow the laws of Islam? If a person does not convert to Islam and accept all of the laws, is that person considered to be doing something wrong? For example, if a Jew drinks alcohol, would he be considered to be sinning according to Islam, or is it not a problem since he is not Muslim? Would that person be punished in the afterlife for having consumed alcohol even though he was not Muslim?

For the purposes of this question, let us assume that the person is aware of Islam, but chooses to remain loyal to his religion.


texts: What is the stance of an "interfaith Nikah" due to husband's conversion?

texts:
As-Salamu Alaykum. I am a new convert. I come from a Christian family. My wife is not considering conversion herself or for the kids. She has no problem with me being a Muslim. Yet, she freely continues do haram things like cook bacon for her and the kids. Again, she is completely supportive of my conversion.

Is interfaith nikah in this instance permissible to Allah(SWT)?
