texts: How Do Muslims Deal with "Difficult" Parts of Prophet Mohammed's Life?

texts:
First, this is not meant to be an insulting or hateful question. Please prayerfully consider answering it for the sake of a true seeker soul. I have long respected and honored Islam and the Prophet Mohammed. I intend no harm. However, I have often considered becoming a Muslim, but have been held back by several things. The following is one of them that I hope to resolve.

Might I add that one of my closest life long friends is a Muslim and I am close to a local Sheikh and pray often at local Masjids. There is nothing hateful meant by this inquiry. I just want to learn.

There are stories of the Prophet's life that are horrendous, most of which I have no clue how to resolve their veracity. One example would be the murder of Umm Qirfa. This anti-Muslim site, here tells much of the story from what appear to be real sources from Hadith, etc.

Is this story true?

How can anyone justify so inhumane a murder?

Thank you,

texts: Where can I get factual linguistic information about rahman and rahim?

texts:
Rahman and rahim are both names of Allah, and frequently used.

Now I once heard in this video that:

Ar-Rahman = merciful to all
Ar-Rahim = merciful to beleivers

I fail to understand how this interpretation has come to exist. Though he explains syntax, he jumps to interpretation without reasoning, or at least I don't get it. Thus I searched and I couldn't find much linguistically presented analysis for the differences. For example, this video.

Where can I find factual linguistics data, and not opinions?


texts: If Allah made all things, then Allah made evil. But for what purpose did Allah create evil?

Couldn't our actions be between a) a good choice b) an even better, more positive choice? What is the purpose of pain, evil and testing and why did Allah create these things?

texts:
I am a recent revert to Islam and was married three months ago to a Muslim man in Morocco.  I live in USA.  I was visiting the country and also visiting this man and his family to see if we were compatible.  There were two witnesses and I had a wali but there was no marriage contract written and no mahr was paid and now I wonder about the validity of the marriage.

He swears we are married but I am having serious doubts.  I don't want to be married anymore because I think it was done in haste but he says he will not divorce me.  I am so confused and scared to death that I will have to live with this situation and never be able to be properly married in the future.

There was no civil ceremony and I can make no legal claims as a wife should with regards to financial support or anything. Am I married to him according to Islam? Have I committed zina since we were intimate after that?

This question was asked in the Christianity.SE:

  I realize this might be a question better suited for the philosophy
  site, but I am very interested to get the Christian perspective.

  I was raised Catholic, but have left the Church in the last few years
  because of conflicts between my beliefs and the Church's. I suppose my
  real problem is that I have a hard time seeing a reason that requires
  God to exist. I was hoping to pose the question directly to you all:
  "Why must there be a God?"

  My lack of belief has definitely negatively affected my relationships
  with my family and I would really like a reason to believe once more.
  Any answers at all would be appreciated

I wonder what the Islamic perspective would be to such a question if you were to replace Catholic with Islam and Islam with Christianity.

  I realize this might be a question better suited for the philosophy
  site, but I am very interested to get the Christian Islamic perspective.

  I was raised Catholic Islamic, but have not practiced Islam in the last few years
  because of conflicts between my personal beliefs and the Islamic belief system. I suppose my
  real problem is that I have a hard time seeing a reason that requires
  God Allah to exist. I was hoping to pose the question directly to you all:
  "Why must there be a God Allah?"

  My lack of belief has definitely negatively affected my relationships
  with my family and I would really like a reason to believe once more.
  Any answers at all would be appreciated

Just for the record, I do not question God or his existence.

texts: Looking for some help in clarifying Chapter 2 verse 54 from Surat Al Bakarah

texts:
I picked up an english translation of the Qu'ran yesterday and began reading it. I have a question from The Bakarah 2:54

And recall when (on returning with this favour) Moses said to his people: “My people! You have wronged yourselves by taking the calf for an object of worship, so turn in repentance to your Creator and kill yourselves.This will be best for you in your Creator’s sight.” Thereupon He accepted your repentance. Indeed He is Much-Relenting, Most Compassionate.

My question is that if killing people is haram then why would God allow the Israelites to kill each other for worshipping a false God?

Thanks


texts: Should I make Qasar & jamma' if I move in-between city or islands in the same country?

texts:
I do know that when travelling more than a said distance it is permissible to perform Jammu(combining 2 prayers) and Qasar(shortening prayers) accordingly as per the guidance. But what I would like to know is that; How about if you're working abroad and you're completely away from your home town?

In addition to that; I travel in between the city too. As in, I travel from one island to another every day for work even though it is part of the same country. To make it more clear, I live in Maldives, a country which consists of 1197 islands if I'm not mistaken. Therefore, how will the prayers apply for me?? Can I shorten the prayers and combine or do I have to pray 5 times with complete raka'ats.??

This is just for my acknowledgement only & it can be useful for me at times to clear my doubts. But I do pray and still trying to pray all 5 times without performing any Jammu or Qasr.

To Summarize :

1- How should I pray if I'm working abroad and away from family ?

2- How should I pray if I travel in between city and in between islands in the same country ?

texts: Gambling: is it haram if i dont keep the profit gained? Is it haram if my loses are protected?

texts:
I don't know what came over me, all of a sudden i felt greed i never have before and went on this website and gambled. I lost my money and in desperation i kept playing in hope to just regain my money and said to myself ill never gamble again. I know its haram, i shouldn't have done it in the first place! i have no idea what came over me! i should have stopped myself. As i tried to regain my loss, i lost even more money. The gambling was online, on a trading platform, its based on rates of for example currencies going up or down. So then this happened. Its hard to explain but i am 'working' with someone now to trade my money in. So these people i agreed to work with have analysts, they analyses the pattern of the fall or rise and make predictions on whats about to happen next on the currency rate and based on that we place our trade. Because we work together, and they are confident in their analysis, i get full protection (as in, if we lose, i get my money returned by them to me, if i win, they gain a certain % themselves every time i win). So i pretty much just give them my money and they do the rest, and we both earn money. I have already placed the money, i am waiting for the results today.

So i have 2 questions:

i read somewhere on this website that some forms of gambling are
acceptable, that non permitted gambling is associated with taking
"unreasonable" risks. Since i am now protected, and if i lose money
it will be returned by to me, is it still haram? as i am not taking
a risk anymore really. I understand that the initial gambling i did
was definitely haram, i was just going and relying on luck.

My second question is

if this all is still haram, and i win, would it be okay to just take
the money i have used on this website back (my losses and what i
used in this trade)? and get rid of all the profit (for example
donate it to charity), because I'm thinking to do that anyway.

Please, i know i shouldn't have gambled in the first place, i don't know what came over me, but advice me of this current situation and if i should definitely pull out and end this horrible thing I've started even if it means losing all my money.


texts: Did the Prophet(pbuh) marry his wife "Maymunah" after the revelation of Quran 33:52?

texts:
With the verse Quran 33:52, Muhammad(PBUH) was not allowed to take any new wives or change them for other wives.

Not lawful to you, [O Muhammad], are [any additional] women after
[this], nor [is it] for you to exchange them for [other] wives, even
if their beauty were to please you, except what your right hand
possesses. And ever is Allah , over all things, an Observer.
according to chronological order of Quran this Surah revealed in  5 AH. here

But according to history, the Prophet married "Maymunah bint al-Harith al-Hilaliyah" in year 7 AH (629 AC) here.
Question:
Did the Prophet marry "Maymunah bint al-Harith al-Hilaliyah" after the revelation of Quran 33:52?


texts: Hadith about possessing too many blankets (or bedsheets?)

texts:
Recollecting from very long ago.

I remember hearing in a Jumua some Hadith about having too many possessions. It went something like "In a house there should be at most three blankets (or was it bedsheets?). One for the man of the house and one for the lady and one for the guest. The fourth is for the devil". My recollection could be only partially correct.

Can you help me identify the source of the Hadith?


texts: Do male cattle produce milk according to 16:66?

texts:
I was reading Surah Nahl 14 juz and then in 16:66 it said:

وَاِنَّ لَـكُمۡ فِىۡ الۡاَنۡعَامِ لَعِبۡرَةً  ؕ نُّسۡقِيۡكُمۡ مِّمَّا فِىۡ بُطُوۡنِهٖ مِنۡۢ بَيۡنِ فَرۡثٍ وَّدَمٍ لَّبَنًا خَالِصًا سَآئِغًا لِّلشّٰرِبِيۡنَ
And indeed, for you in grazing livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from what is in their bellies - between excretion and blood - pure milk, palatable to drinkers.

Well the word used for "bellies" is بُطُوۡنِهٖ and not بُطُوْنِهَا. The former is in masculine form and the latter is in feminine form and the Quran uses the former. But masculine cattles don't produce milk! Why does the Quran use the former then?

Is there are similar textual promise of paradise in the Quran?

And can a man refuse her wife.


texts: Is joining Maghrib and Isha salah together everyday for 2 months allowed?

texts:
In summer, around May 20 to July 20, the twilight in the sky doesn't disappear or disappears very late, after midnight.
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:

The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"The time for Maghrib is when the sun sets, so long as the twilight has not disappeared. The time for 'Isha' is so long as half of the night has not passed."
Narrated by Muslim, 612.

The question that people would ask is if the twilight doesn't disappear, when is Isha time?
A hafiz told me that some people say you don't pray Isha at all, but this is blasphemy. He used the following verse and other evidence to support that you don't miss out Isha:

"Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the middle Salat (i.e., the best prayer – 'Asr)."
(Al-Baqarah 2:238)

He said that if you don't pray Isha at all, then there will be no middle salah as the order will be: Fajr, Zuhr,  Asr and Maghrib, and Asr is the most important out of all of them.
What we see in salah timetables are estimated time for Isha, but we do not know, precisely so that will not be reliable as in some countries, the twilight never disappears or disappears very late that which there is not enough time to pray Isha.
Also, it is makrooh to pray Isha after midnight.
Ramadan is in the summer. This is why Taraweeh is prayed quite late. Also, in these countries, Suhoor is quite early. An example the hafiz told me was that in Norway, Maghrib is at 12:10, and Suhoor is at 12:40, meaning there are only 30 minutes to pray, so the people pray Maghrib and pray Isha straight after.
The problem is that student, teachers, etc. would be strongly affected by this. They would have to pray Taraweeh and get back home around 12, and then they will have to wake up for Suhoor at 2, pray Fajr at around 3:20, then wake up for school at six etc.
This hafiz told me that you should join Maghrib and Isha together, providing that you sleep straight after as you can stay up and could have prayed Isha later.
This hadith supports it:

Ibn' Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) joined Zuhr and 'Asr, and Maghrib and 'Isha,' in Madeenah when there was no fear and no rain. According to the hadeeth of Wakee,' he said: I said to Ibn' Abbaas: Why did he do that? He said: So that his ummah would not be subjected to hardship, i.e., so that they would not face any difficulty.
(Muslim 705)

Question: Is joining Maghrib and Isha salah together every day for two months allowed?
I'm asking this question as this hadith below says:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said when asked which deed is most beloved to Allaah:
"Prayer offered on time."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (527) and Muslim (85).

And if you keep joining up the prayer, you won't get the best deed.
Also, this article says that Hanafis don't allow joining up prayers except in 2 cases, and I mainly follow Hanafi madhab. Still, the hafiz also supports Hanafi madhab, but he won't follow the rule for that.

texts: What if I find that after we have a nikah we are not compatible? (Sunni viewpoint)

texts:
I understand and know that marriage is a big deal. I am looking forward to getting married, Alhamdulillah and Inshallah.

Question is: What if I find that when meeting a potential spouse that the compatibility based on questions seems to be there (with limited contact/meet), but then when we have nikah, maybe we are not exactly compatible? It may be that we are good people but when it came down to it, we just are not exactly compatible and by no ill will or bad means, we decide to divorce.

Would this be a haram act or an immoral act?

I don't want this to seem like a temporary (Mutah) marriage like Shia's believe but the reality is that things DO happen. It may seem very nice to begin with but then after the fact (of Nikah), things may not be so well as once thought or were alluded to.

I'd appreciate a solid answer with references as to this potential matter.

texts: The splitting of the moon: any metaphoric explanation?

texts:
Verse 1 of Surah Al-Qamar very clearly references the story of the moon being split. Mostly I hear the explanation that includes our prophet (PBUH) and the Quraish witnesses.

However, I am also convinced that a splitting of the moon is scientifically impossible. Is it possible that this verse has a deeper meaning? Is it perhaps written to illustrate that even a miracle of such scale would not convince a person who is a disbeliever at heart?
Or perhaps the word splitting would not necessarily mean a very large part of the moon was split from it, or that both parts of the moon weren't joined back together after the miracle?

I ask this question because I am a recent convert, but was raised as a sceptical atheist who still has a strong desire to see logic and faith joined together!

I lived in one country for 4 years and due to some family issues i came back to my home country for good. I was advised by many friends to take loan while leaving the country. As I was not much into deen at that time, i took the wrong decision.

texts: Are earnings from developing software which includes selling adult ebooks haram?

texts:
Last week, I got a job in which the client asked me to develop an eCommerce site where the client will be selling  online eBooks. He told me that there will be 14 categories of the books. I started development and when I required the names of categories, he sent me 14 names in which two were haram, i.e., they were of adult nature.

I told him that I as a Muslim, I can't create those two categories for you in the system and that he should deduct some amount from me for that. He agreed and told me that he will do the Haram part through another developer.

Now I am worried that whether it will make my whole project haram or halal? I am dealing with only halal part but I know that he will hire a developer and will add haram stuff to the system developed by me as soon as I have completed.

Will my earning, from the said software system, be halal or haram?

texts: Was there a zamanu jahilliya(Era of ignorance) after the Prophet (PBUH)?

texts: I am not that good at Tarikh, Islamic history, but I am concerned with how Islam is so divided more so in this generation. There is a lot of versions of simple things such as how the Prophet (PBUH) used to dress? Or even something every person performs every day or must perform. Where do we put our arms when we stand in our prayers? My question is was there an era where a lot of Islamic content was distorted or people were not that careful in transmitting the knowledge?


texts: In the Qu'ran, Shaytan is mentioned as Ibles and Shaytan. Why does he have more than one name, and what do they mean?


texts:
Is calling people by their first name considered disrespectful in Islam?

For example, I am part of 2 cultures.  1 culture considered it respectful to call people by their first name no matter who they are and what their age is.  For example, in 1 of these cultures, it is perfectly respectable to call your granddad by his first name.

However, another culture I am part of would consider that disrespectful.  This second culture says that a granddad should be referred to as granddad only, and should never be called by any of his names.

So in the first culture, if your granddad's name is John Smith, it is perfectly respectable to call him John, and would be considered weird to call him granddad.

And in the second culture, if would be considered disrespectful to call your granddad John, and would be considered respectful to call him granddad.

Does Islam have rules for this, is it considered disrespectful to refer to your granddad as granddad, or is it disrespectful to refer to your granddad via his real name?

Sunni view preferred with evidence from quran/hadith and/or fatwa.

I assume that would mean 'I think I know better than God and this way in my opinion is better', which would be shirk?
Or what if it's just 'I wish I was God so I could do whatever the heck I wanted to do, unleash all my desires as I pleased'.

In Surah Mulk, verse 5, Allah says:

  رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ

  And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and
  have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared
  for them the punishment of the Blaze.

How do we understand the highlighted phrase? Does it refer to meteorites falling to  earth? If yes, since they also fall on other planets, what do we make of their purpose?

According to science, meteoroids come from asteroids (between Mars & Jupiter) & comets (from Oort Cloud). Is this in conflict with the above verse?

texts: Are people lazy because they are destined to be lazy?

texts:
I recently came across the following Hadith and I am curious about the implications of it:

  Ali narrated that one day the Messenger of Allah was sitting with a
  wooden stick in his hand with which he was scratching the ground. He
  raised his head and said, “There is none of you, but has his place
  assigned either in the Fire or in Paradise.” They (the Companions)
  inquired, “O Allah’s Messenger! Why should we carry on doing good
  deeds, shall we depend (upon Qadar) and give up work?” Muhammad said:
  “No, carry on doing good deeds, for everyone will find it easy (to do)
  such deeds that will lead him towards that for which he has been
  created.” Then he recited the verse: “As for him who gives (in
  charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, and believes in
  al-Husna, We will make smooth for him the path of Ease (goodness)
  (Surah al-Lail 92:5-7). Sahih Muslim

Some people are hard-working while others are lazy.
In the context of this Hadith, can it be said that certain people are destined to succeed while others are meant to fail?

texts: Food with earnings from halal and haram money

texts:
A non-Muslim friend recently invited me out for lunch a few days back. Naturally, since he had invited me, he picked up the tab at the restaurant.

Now I am worried about a few things.

This friend has a halal business through which he makes most of his money. However, other than this, he and some of his staff also do consultancy for Tarot and "past-life" regression and so on and so forth, which is essentially haram. So he has earnings from two sources, one halal and the other haram.

I was wondering if I did the right thing by accepting his invitation for lunch. And if it was wrong, how do I compensate for this sin of eating food purchased with haram money, if at all the money was haram? Is it ok if I give away a similar amount in charity?

A point to note is that a few years back a friend (who is very particular in Islamic matters like halal, haram, etc.) had told me that if a person has earnings from both halal and haram sources and he invites you out, then insha Allah, Allah will consider the money spent as from his halal sources only. I was wondering how correct this is.

texts:
Before you read the rest, I want to clarify that I hate parents who physically and mentally punish their children.  I feel that Islam agrees with this, i.e. hitting/beating children to crazy extents that you end up breaking their bones and making them bleed.

My question is about the following punishments which are received in hell:

  Punishment for not fasting hanging by their hamstrings, with the sides of their mouths torn and blood pouring from their mouths

  Punishment for not giving zakat plates of fire would be beaten out for him; these would then be heated in the fire of Hell and his
  sides, his forehead and his back would be cauterized with them.
  Whenever these cool down, (the process is) repeated during a day the
  extent of which would be fifty thousand years

  Punishment for Malicious Gossip You will receive surveor punishment

  Punishment for not cleaning yourself properly You will receive surveor punishment

  Punishment for not acting out what he reads in the quran You will receive surveor punishment

  Punishment for consuming riba Some of them will have bellies as big as houses

  Punishment for not praying the heads of some people will be crushed with rock because they were too heavy for them to get up and
  pray.

Source
http://islamqa.info/en/ref/45325

For example, if I punished my children by hanging them by their hamstrings, with the sides of their mouths torn and blood pouring from their mouths, would be considered sick and evil, yet when this is the punishment given by God for not fasting, it's not considered evil?  Especially when Islam says that God loves his creation more than a mother could ever live her children, and especially as God does not need your worship either. i.e. God Loves you more than your mother, God does not need your worship, but if you miss a fast, you are hung up by your hamstrings?

So my question if you missed it, why in Islam is it considered evil for parents to break the bones of their own children, but God destroying his creation and regenerating it again just to destroy it again is not considered evil?

Just a question which I wanted some clarification on.

As I said earlier: I want to clarify that I hate parents who physically and mentally punish their children.  I feel that Islam agrees with this, i.e. hitting/beating children to crazy extents that you end up breaking their bones and making them bleed.

This question has been keeping me up at night.When the prophet (PBUH) preached islam in arab,he performed many miracles to convince them that this is the truth.The same is true for all other prophets.So the arabs during that time who didn't accept islam will have to answer to Allah,because they saw signs yet they were blinded.

But then when islam spread to other parts of the world during the middle ages,what is it that was supposed to convince them that this is the truth.I mean,the scientific and numerical miracles weren't discovered at that time.There were so many religions iin excistenceSo how were they supposed to know which is the truth and which isn't?What is it that Allah (SWT)is going to accuse them of?

What I saw in Iran was something along the lines of holding one's right hand up and moving it up and down, looking right and left, and saying a longer version of assalamu alaikum wa rahmat Allah three times.

Mom: "No you go in your room every time she calls.. are you plotting something behind my back that you always talk in private"
Me: "Why do you think like that? Am I not your son? Don't you believe in me?" etc.. and the conversation ended.
The next morning she called me to talk and I went obediently, she started crying and told "yesterday night I cried.. I tried to control my tears but I could not.. You made me cry.. ALL THE GOOD DEEDS YOU HAVE DONE TILL DATE WILL BE NULLIFIED BY ALLAH.. because you have hurt your mother.."
Can someone please clarify whether this statement is true, that a person who hurts her mother's feelings and makes her cry, all his good deeds will be washed away?
Reference to exact Hadith or Quranic verse will be much appreciated
Thanks. Peace be on all of you.

texts: What is considered 'insulting a Muslim'? And is it a sin? If so, is it a minor or major scene?

texts:
Assalamu 'Alaikum,

My question is kinda lengthy here. So, the important question is regarding a situation.

So, there was this guy who bought a wrong book, since it had the same name but the book had a different number on it. Everybody was laughing, not as insult though, just because the situation was funny when he realised he was doing the wrong sums from the wrong book. So, when everybody was commenting on it, someone said, obviously as a joke, "can't you read numbers?" and laughed it off. The guy who bought the wrong book obviously didn't mind and now, he probably doesn't even remember about that remark since everybody was talking. Now, it is not even a valid insult because it has nothing to do with him not being able to read numbers. He didn't specify the book number and that's how he got the wrong book.

The insult is kinda like jokingly calling Albert Einstein stupid because he forgot his pen or something. And the person who "insulted" the guy didn't mean it as an insult at all. In fact, she didn't even know insulting someone was a sin, but she was getting bad vibes about that action but wasn't completely sure and then researched it, and she found out it might be a sin.

Now my question is: " Is it a sin in this case?"

It would be great if you could quote hadiths and passages from Quran where it says it's a major or minor sin. But my main question is regarding the situation above.


texts:
Are there any laws in Islam which it is better to die rather than violate the law?

Does it matter whether violating the law would cause the person to die naturally (for example, eating pork while stranded with no other food) or whether the person is being forced to violate the law (for example, someone threatens someone with a gun and promises to kill him if he doesn't eat pork).

Eating pork is just the example I have used here. Are there any laws which should be broken in either of the two scenarios mentioned above?

Someone accuses a man of raping someone without any proof (even if the doctors say that there is no such evidence)

Sunni > Hanafi views please.


texts: Which scholars permit a female judge in an islamic/sharia court?

texts:
I know from Islamqa that a woman cannot be a judge in an islamic court, they put an exception on majority of Hanafis based on:

This is the view of the Maalikis, Shaafa’is and Hanbalis, and of some of the Hanafis.

And something similar by Islamweb as well:

The majority of scholars may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  them consider the position of a judge like the position of leadership, and are of the view that it is a condition that such a position be held by a man as stated by Ibn Hajar, may Allaah have mercy on him. On the other hand the Hanafi school of jurisprudence are of the view that it is permissible for this position to be held by a woman but not in matters which entail applying punishment.

It seems to me based on these answers that Hanafis might have the majority position of permitting female judges, Can you mention some major Hanafi scholars supporting women as judge? their evidence?
Can you tell me the notable scholars (if they exist), from other schools of thought who permit? and some of their evidences?
What is Ibn Taymiyyah's position on this issue?

My motivation for asking this question is because I have heard Ayesha RA would be consulted for Legal rulings and her understanding of Quran and fatwas is something that would often be taken seriously by sahaba (some similar description here). In light of her description, it feels hard for me to accept that its unanimously derived that a woman judge is Haram due to reasons of not being protectors over men, less intelligent etc and also due to the absence of an explicit prohibition.

texts: Is it allowed not to hate anyone including the most evil creatures?

texts: Hatred has destructive properties. It has pushed even the greatest scholars to commit the ugliest crimes. If you study the history of the caliphate, there were many periods that the caliphs were changed every year. Even today there are countless bombs that explode in Iraq, Afghanistan etj....  Even from my experience I feel that it destroys the properties of the heart and pushes me towards sins and kufr. My question is:. Is it allowed not to hate anyone including ibliss, dajjal and all other evil creatures with the thought that it is none of my business whether they are good or bad and with the thought that my heart feels and becomes much better when it doesn't hate anyone?

texts: How can I practically determine what "should" means?

texts:
I hear the word should used a lot and its meaning can be vague.  To illustrate how many times this occurs, from the single article Forty Hadiths for Women, the word should appears in:

  woman should take the permission of her husband before going out; women should not travel without mahram; women should have their own entrance to the mosque; women should not walk in the middle of the street; women should perform tawaf without mingling with men; men shouldn’t enter freely into private places where foreign women are; women should have their own learning venues; women should not carry funeral; women should not take off their clothes outside their homes; woman should not describe another woman to her husband; women should not speak unnecessarily in the presence of foreign men; a woman should not be married against her will; a woman should not ask for divorce without a reason; woman should be grateful to her husband; woman should not obey her husband if ordered to do a sin; woman should not donate from her money unless upon husband’s consent; woman should help her husband and his dependants; husband should provide for wife and children; woman should not wear tight clothes; woman should not wear false hair like Jews; woman should not lie and adopt falsehood; women should not wear high shoes; women should cover her face in the presence of foreign men; women should not show their ornaments to foreign men; women should not imitate men in dress, movements, and way of speech.

If we compare, e.g.:

a. "woman should not obey her husband if ordered to do a sin", with
  b. "women should not walk in the middle of the street"

we see the level of obligation is significantly different, but there is no corresponding change in phrasing.  So I can't tell which of these things are actually important without studying the Qur'an, hadith, tafsir, and fatwa in detail, which takes time.  And I'd need to do this for every one of these claims.

Question: How can I practically determine what should means?

Specifically, I'm seeking practical steps for those times when someone tells me or I read you should XYZ, and I want to know (a) if it's true and accurate, and (b) gauge the level of obligation.


texts: How should a muslim urinate according to Islam?

texts:
Whether I sit or stand, it seems like urine gets on me anyway. And it seems as if I need to urinate naked and bathe after every urination, but I'm pretty sure that's not how Muslims are supposed to do it. According to the Shafi'i school, how should a Muslim urinate, and especially how should one deal with urine that splashes onto oneself?

I think I'm just having excessive waswas concerning urine, I take so many precautions and I think it's most likely that urine isn't hitting my pants sometimes but I still am scared to wear the pants to salah.

texts: Does All-Mighty Allah has a particular shape? (Sahih al-Bukhari Page 1021, No.7437, A-Soltaniah Edition)

texts:
The following Hadith is narrated in the book of Towhid of Sahih al-Bukhari:(Page 1021, No.7437, A-Soltaniah Edition)

  حدثنا عبدالعزیز ابن عبدالله: حدثنا ابراهیم بن سعد عن ابن شهاب عن عطاء بن یزید اللیئی عن ابی هریره : ان الناس قالوا : یا رسول الله هل
  نری ربنا یوم القیامه؟ فقال رسول الله: هل تضارون فی القمر لیله البدر؟
  قالوا: لا یا رسول الله . قال: فهل تضارون فی الشمس لیس دونها سحاب؟
  قالوا: لا یا رسول الله. قال: فانکم ترونه کذلک، یجمع الله الناس یوم
  القیامه فیقول : من کان یعبد شیئا فلیتبعه، فیتبع من کان یعبد الشمس
  الشمس و یتبع من کان یعبد القمر القمر و یتبع من کان یعبد الطواغیت
  الطواغیت و تبقی هذه الامه فیها شافعوها او منافقوها – شک ابراهیم-
  فیاتیهم الله فیقول : انا ربکم فیقولون : هذا مکاننا حتی یاتینا ربنا
  فاذا جاءنا بنا عرفناه فیاتیهم الله فی صورته التی یعرفون فیقول انا ربکم
  فیقولون انت ربنا فیتبعونه ....

Since my question is related to a few parts of the Hadith, I will not translate all of it:

People asked the Prophet (Pbuh): O’ the Apostle of Allah will we see our Lord in the Day of Resurrection? Then the Apostle of Allah replied: Is there any dispute among you whether a full moon is visible? They answered: No. then The Prophet (Pbuh) continued asking them: “ Is there any dispute among you whether the sun is visible in a cloudless sky? They replied in the negative. Then The Prophet stated (Pbuh): “Then you will see your Lord just like this”. Allah will get the people together in the Day of Resurrection then He says: those who were worshiping any deity shall follow it. Then the ones who were worshiping sun will follow the sun and the ones who were worshiping moon will follow the moon and those who were worshiping Rebels will follow Rebels …Then Allah will come to them and says: “I am your Lord”, they reply: we’ll stay here till our Lord comes to us and when he comes to us we will recognize him, then Allah will appear in such a shape that they can recognize …

As you can see, according to this tradition, Allah has a particular shape without which the believers cannot recognize their Lord. This shape occupies a place moving from one area to another which means when it is present in the first area, it is absent in the other one at the same time.

On the other hand in the verse 11 of Surah 42 we read:

  لیس کمثله شیء

  Nothing is like Him

This verse clearly states that nothing is like Allah which means it is impossible to imagine any shape of any kind that is located in a particular place moving around and occupying places.

So how can one reconciles between the aforementioned Hadith and the above verse?

Does there any sect exists in Islam who does not believe in grave punishments? I.e. torments given in Barzakh life (life between world and akhirah) to a sinner?

If such sect exists, how they reply to the Quranic verses and Sahih Hadiths that prove that punishment in grave is haqq (truth) and will be given to sinners.

Ok so i have a a few questions about the nature if heaven.

1.why would there be sexual desires in heaven? The purpose of sexual desires and marriage is to facilitate the propagation of a species. So why do we assume we will have these urges in heaven when we will be immortal in heaven? And aren't we supposed to be cleansed our earthly vices in heaven?

Does it specifically say anywhere in the quran and hadiths that the purpose of the houris in heaven is sex? Many people I've met regard them as toys made for their pleasure and many people look forward to heaven just to have sex with these creatures.

3.why do many people say that certain desires and feelings would be removed from us in heaven but 1... Namely sexual desires would and should be still in us. Some examples ive seen here and elsewhere are: when someone asks jf they can play video games in heaven they get told that they wouldn't want to play video games in heaven because the desire would be removed (why doesn't this apply to sex).
Another question i read was about a woman asking if she can have her husband to herself and someone pointed out that if this contradicts with her husband's wishes then god would remove the feelings of envy from her but didn't even consider the option of god removing the husbands feelings of envy.
3.what is the nature of heaven in general? Is it spiritual or carnal? I have always thought of heaven as spiritual and transcendental.

Ive meet many people with the attitude that if they cant have orgies in heaven then there is no point in going there heaven.

texts:
I embraced Islam recently thanks to Allah. I was brought up and am living now in a christian society, which is a very bad environment that hinders me from clinching to my new religion. My question here specifically is about prayers, my parents are very narrow-minded who hate to hear any thing about new Muslims, so how can they know that their daughter has entered Islam!? So I am hiding my faith, hence the problem, as I can't pray at our very small home where everyone's move is felt. Once my mother saw me praying, and from that moment she is monitoring me very closely restricting my behavior.when im working i got more space to do namaz now i lost my job.while sitting in home it is difficult to perform namaz,otherwise I have to pray laying down or sitting or alike. My situation is very complex, sometimes I start praying then suddenly stop it pretending as doing something else once hearing my mother's voice, what's your advice?
Also, what's ruling on necessity of covering face and hands during praying, is it compulsory in general? What about it in my special case? Are my prayers accepted without covering face and hands?
I want to add a fact about me, I am facing multi problems and difficulties so I find in praying an outlet and great relief to myself, just entering Salat (prayers) supplicating to Allah, I feel immediately relaxation and chest delight, and hope comes back again.
Kindly advice as I don't have muslim friends except one or two muslims who are not much of Islamic following and religiousness, nor have I a nearby place where I can learn about Islam, only Internet. By the way, thanks a lot for your useful site and great favor you do for people.


texts: What did the prophet (PBUH) said to the bounty hunter who accepted Islam during Hijrah and what is his name?

texts:
During the hijrah of rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam), he was with Abu Bakr in the cave while the mushrikeen sought him out. Unable to find him, they placed a significant bounty on his head.
One particular bounty hunter managed to find rasulullah and Abu Bakr; but whenever he would approach them, his horse sank down into the sand and wouldn't move. This website states:

After a few moments the search parry decided that no one could have
entered the cave recently, or the spider's web would not have been
complete and the dove would not have nested there, and so they left
without searching inside. Three days later the Prophet (pbuh) and Abu
Bakr thought it safe to leave the cave. Abu Bakr's son, 'Amir, had
arranged for three camels and a guide to help them continue their
journey to Yathrib. 'Amir would ride behind his father.
The leaders of
Quraysh, meanwhile, returned to Mecca and offered a reward of one
hundred camels to whoever captured the Prophet (pbuh). Among those who
went in search of him was a famous warrior. He was, in fact, the only
one to catch up with him, but whenever he came close, his horse would
suddenly sink up to its knees in the sand. When this had happened
three times, he understood that the Prophet (pbuh) was protected by a
power stronger than anything he had known, and so he went back to
Mecca. On arriving there he warned everyone against continuing the
search, relating what had happened to him.

I believe, although I cannot find any information about it currently, that this particular bounty hunter accepted Islam.
To avoid making this question too broad, I would like to know, particularly, what rasulullah told him after he accepted Islam, and his name (fulan ibn fulan) and clan.
Anything else is bonus.

texts: Question about specific kind of Video Game

texts:
assalamu alaykum

I work as 3D visualizer, visualizing architect's designs such as house/apartements, buildings etc.
Recently, i'm thinking about getting into video game industry as well. here is the idea of the game so far:
1. The video game will be cartoony, but in three dimensional shape. the characters will be humans, not realistic, big head, big eyes, with colorful hair.
2. the video game will basically about fishing, keeping fish, breeding them, selling them.
3. No music, just sound effects like wind, water splash etc.

here's my question:
1. Is it permissible if i make human character in 3d (cartoony, child-like, unrealistic body proportion) that can move, walk, interact, etc?
2. if the answer of 1st question is yes, then how about female character with exposed hair? ofcourse other body part will be covered, just the face, the hair, maybe arms. please note that the character shape will not resemble realistic adult body shape, its more like a child with cartoony proportion. in three dimensional form.
3. My game will be about fish, so i will create a 3d model of a cartoony fish that will be animated, like swimming, jumping, etc. is that permissible? how if i create a fish species that doesn't exist in the real world, lets say a common catfish but with unique yellow-black color. or even a completely new species of fish that doesnt exist in real world? is that permissible?
4. I will not include music in my game, but can i add a sound effect that have two or three musical note in it? like Do-Re-Mi or Mi-Do

I'm looking for the detailed answer, as i think this will be a big step in my life, and i don't want to make a wrong step.

I was going to ask you some questions about masturbation during ramadan, you see last year I miss 10 days due to my addiction to masturbation and I thought it was ok until now however I was only able to replace one of the days. So what does that mean should I pay fidya or should I fast 60 days straight fortunately I don't think I can pay fidya because I don't think there is a way for me to pay it what should I do???, however this year was a change I was only able to masturbate twice and insh Allah that my addiction to masturbation will stop once and for all by the end of this year or possible by the end of the month. Please help me.

texts: Interpretation of Surah 86:6 "Emerging from between the Backbone and ribs"

texts:
Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam,

Surah 86 (The Night Comer) says :

  86:5 - So let man observe from what he was created.

  86:6 - He was created from a fluid, ejected,

  86:7 - Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

  86:8 - Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

Is it possible that Verse 86: 6 and 86:7 are actually two separate statements and not a continuation of each other?

That is, 86:6 speaking of how man is created from fluid ejected,
and 86:7 refers to how this fluid which has transformed into a foetus emerges out from between the backbones and ribs (Mother's Womb) and not refering to the sperm emerging out from the backbone?

For example on the lines of :

Have the students not observed how the Ford car is manufactured?

It is manufactured from Molten Iron,

Emerging out from the Ford factory.
(that is, the molten iron ultimately emerges out from the factory as finished car)

Have any of the classical Mufassiroon propagated this kind of an interpretation for these Ayat?

Found in Sahih Bukhari #5891 and Sahih Muslim #257, the hadith below suggest it is Sunnah to trim one's moustache:

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ  " الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ الْخِتَانُ، وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ، وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ، وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ، وَنَتْفُ الآبَاطِ ".
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying. "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits."

The hadith below found in Sahih Muslim #258 suggests one should do it no longer than every 40 days.

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ وُقِّتَ لَنَا فِي قَصِّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمِ الأَظْفَارِ وَنَتْفِ الإِبْطِ وَحَلْقِ الْعَانَةِ أَنْ لاَ نَتْرُكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً .
Anas reported: A time limit has been prescribed for us for clipping the moustache, cutting the nails, plucking hair under the armpits, shaving the pubes, that it should not be neglected far more than forty nights.

In order to trim one's moustache, he must first have a moustache. However, how thick does the moustache have to be in order to trim it?
A male starts growing a moustache during puberty so if one is growing their moustache at this age, it would not be that thick and they could barely trim it.
They wouldn't have a full moustache yet and would have to wait a couple of years until it has grown thick and this therefore means they won't be trimming their moustache every 40 days because they are still growing it. This henceforth raises the question:
When is it required for a man to start trimming his moustache?

My question is if someone had black magic performed on them, will this magic continue to work during the month of Ramadan?

Also, is 'ain (the evil eye) the same thing, and does that also work during Ramadan (or at least its effects).

Another word, I just wanted to say Ramadan Mubarak to all, may Allah (SWT) forgive all our sins and shower us and all our loved ones with mercy and blessings in this beautiful month.

First hadith:

It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled:
“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm."
— Ibn Majah, 2340

This is also stated in Ibn Majah, 2341 which is from Ibn Abbas.
Generally, Islamqa doesn't cite any da'if (weak) hadith. They stated this hadith in their website without any reference, while stating the ruling on smoking, what they usually don't do. However, it's found in the book of hadith.
But with regards to this hadith of both isnaad,
Sunnah.com said,

Grade : Da'if (Darussalam)
— Ibn Majah, 2340, Ibn Majah, 2341

So is there anyone who classed it as Sahih (authentic), and who are they? And who classed it as Da'if (weak)? And where?
Second hadith:

Abu Barzah Al-Aslami narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
"The feet of the slave of Allah shall not move [on the Day of Judgement] until he is asked about five things: about his life and what he did with it, about his knowledge and what he did with it, about his wealth and how he earned it and where he spent it on, about his body and for what did he wear it out."

This is the same case. Islamqa cited it in the same page mentioned above, without any reference what they usually don't do. However, it's also found in the book of hadith. And it's not only Islamqa who cites this hadith, rather I've listened the hadith from different places.
But Sunnah.com said,

Grade : Da'if (Darussalam)
— Timidhi, English reference, Vol. 4, Book 11, Hadith 2417; Arabic reference, Book 37, Hadith 2602

With regards to this hadith, my questions is same as the above.
Is there anyone who classed it as Sahih (authentic), and who are they? And who classed it as Da'if (weak)? And where?
But the fact is, all of this differences is raised and dissimilarities are found when the grade of the hadith is by Darussalam. It's not the only place where such dissimilarities are seen, rather in many cases, I have observed the same thing when the grade is by Darussalam.
Sometimes I feel it, unreliable to rely upon sunnah.com with regards to the grade of hadith, when it is by Darussalam.
Because, the Hadith regarding Salatul Tasbih was classed as Sahih by Sunnah.com with the grade by Darussalam.
But Islamqa proved it to be wrong in here and here.
And there are many incident like this that made the grade of hadith declared by sunnah.com with the reference of Darussalam, disputed, I think.
So it's requested to answer the questions with reliable references.

For example, you did something that was haram two months ago but did not know it was haram, then when you found out you started to regret it.

Would you be accountable for that or who would be?


texts:
Islam has days for voluntary fasting, e.g., Mondays and Thursdays, and Muhammad was known to fast on these days (e.g. Aishah narrated: "The Prophet used to try to fast on Mondays and Thursdays." sunnah.com) and others ("He observed Sawm on many days of the year..." Al-Islam).  I'm wondering if, during times of battle, Muhammad continued these voluntary fasts, given that it might impair his ability to fight.

Question: Did the Prophet Muhammad fast voluntarily during times of battle?

I found one pertinent sahih hadith:

  Narrated Abu al-Darda: We went out along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for some battle in intense heat, so much so that one of us placed his hand on his head, or placed his palm on his head, due to intense heat, No one of us fasted except the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and 'Abd Allah b. Rawahah. --  Sunan Abi Dawud 2409 [grade: sahih] (sunnah.com)

This implies he fasted despite battle, but it doesn't clarify if this was a voluntary or obligatory fast.  I also found one weak hadith, which I'm not sure if I should take seriously:

  Ma'mar bin Abi Huyaiyah narrated that: he asked Ibn Al-Musaiyab about fasting on a journey, so he narrated to him that Umar bin Al-Khattab said: "We fought in two battles along with the Messenger of Allah during Ramadan; the Day of Badr, and the Conquest (of Makkah), so we broke our fast during them." -- Jami` at-Tirmidhi 714 [grade: da'if] (sunnah.com)


texts:
Let's say a Muslim wants to touch, pet, and play with a cute dog. They intend to purify themselves afterwards, even if they have to do it several times a day.

Some people say this is haram because it is a sin to purposely touch something impure, much more play with it. Some people even go so far as to propose killing people who encourage others to touch dogs.

Please note that this has nothing to do with owning dogs, just touching and playing with them.

So, it is forbidden to touch and play with dogs on purpose?
