Is unnecessarily staying in a more expensive hotel and charging it to my employer a sin?
My work usually pays for my accommodation as I travel. Ordinarily, I stay in the cheapest possible place (e.g. backpackers), but sometimes I stay in more expensive places even though it's not strictly necessary. There'll be some justifications, e.g. the conference will be more convenient to get to;...
My work usually pays for my accommodation as I travel. Ordinarily, I stay in the cheapest possible place (e.g. backpackers), but sometimes I stay in more expensive places even though it's not strictly necessary. There'll be some justifications, e.g. the conference will be more convenient to get to; I didn't have time to optimize my bookings; I don't want to make my lab look like it's "cheap"; to avoid staying in mixed-gender accommodation.
**Question**: Is unnecessarily staying in a more expensive hotel and charging it to my employer a sin?
Depending on how you look at it, this resembles "theft"---I could send a smaller bill to my employer by staying at lower quality accommodation. My employer is not going to get grumpy at me (usually others stay in nicer accommodation than I require).

Is it haram for men to make clothing?
I am a male revert, born and raised in the west where sewing/clothing-making is traditionally seen as a woman’s role.

I am a male revert, born and raised in the west where sewing/clothing-making is traditionally seen as a woman’s role. I would like to start my own line of modest men’s clothing for prayer, but I am aware about the hadith saying that men should not imitate women and women should not imitate men.
Does the hadith also apply to functional roles in society?
Was it the same case in Arabia at the time of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wa salaam) that sewing/clothing-making was seen as a woman’s role?
Is there any other hadith or verse from the Quran that makes this impermissible for me?

Can a Muslim cook pork?
If someone asks for my help to cook something that has pork, can I help this person? I'm not going to eat, just going to help cook the food.

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?

As we know Dajjal will come from Khorasan. Chapter: The tribulation of Dajjal, the emergence of 'Esa bin Maryam and the emergence of Gog and Magog, Sunan Ibn Majah and he will be followed by 70,000 jews from Ispahan Chapter: The Rest Of The Ahadith About Ad-Dajjal, Sahih Muslim . But according to history, Assyrian's exiled the people of Kingdom of Israel which are 10 Lost tribes(Asher, Dan, Ephraim, Gad, Issachar, Manasseh, Naphtali, Reuben, Simeon, and Zebulun). Jews are expecting their king messiah from the progeny of David(PBUH) and the tribe of david was Judah from the southern kingdom of Judah(Which includes the tribes Judah and Benjamin). If dajjal come from area near Khorasan then he must be from the 10 tribes and historically the persian jews are not from the tribes of Judah The “Persian” Period . How the islamic theologians and scholars explain this dillema? I am studying the comparative theology for last 2 years. Can someone help me in this particular matters?

Currently I am working on a philosophy paper, exploring the correlation between cause and effect, or in other words how present knowledge is wholly dependent upon past knowledge.
I was thinking of applying some reference or explanation based on Islam. Is there anything I can talk about, with respect to the hadiths or maybe something from the Quran with regards to the past and present dependency?
