Is there a waiting period for slave women who are freed by their masters before they marry anyone?

As-salam alaykum, I couldn't find anything that answered my questions so here's what happened. today while I was praying salat al dhur during the last rakah i had doubts wether i made two sajdahs or one sajdah at first i thought it was just wiswas so i ignored it but i started thinking about it and i realized i might have i actually made one sajdah. I was already in the second tashahhud so I made sujood al sahw right before taslim do I have to pray my salah again?

Is there something like Sabbath in Islam? A day when no work is allowed? Jews have that, and observe it quite strictly. Christians have it, but place it on Sunday instead of Saturday. As far as I know, the "holy day" in Islam is on Friday, but I don't know of any restrictions to do work on Fridays. The closest to Sabbath I can think of is Ramadan, but as far as I understand, work is not prohibited as such, only avoided due to the stress imposed by fasting. Is my understanding correct? If not, what am I missing? --- Looks like this is a difficult question, so I try to rephrase it: is there any time or calendar date in Islam where doing work is haram? --- Again, this question has been misunderstood. The question is *not* if Muslims observe Shabbath, whether on Saturday or on Friday or on Sunday. Obviously *NO*. The question was if there is *any concept equal to Shabbath* and the accepted answer is "no, except for the times of obligatory prayers", where work cannot be done because the prayer requires all attention.

Salam, I’ve recently been looking at the differences between hafs and warsh variants and can understand the difference between most of them. However, I looked at a website recently which said that in Quran 66:12, in the hafs version it says “his books” while in the warsh version it says “his book.” Does this not change the meaning in the verse? Also, there are differences regarding singular and plural in other places as well, so I was wondering if that changes the meaning? Jazakallah Khair

Is it permissible for a non-Muslim to pray in the ranks with Muslims?

If you define justice as giving everyone what they deserve, then mercy is the opposite of that, either Forgiving them when they could be punished, or "multiplying" their reward. Now if you say someone deserved "mercy", that's justice and not mercy at all because they deserved it. It also can't be that God can be just at sometime and merciful at another, since that would mean he's sometimes unjust. Ditto for some kind of grander scheme of justice involving mercy. Let's not even get into fairness. If god gives mercy whenever he wants and doesn't(which he necessarily can't do for a reason, since if it were reasonable it would be called justice) then that means different people are punished differently for the same crime !

As-salaamualaikum, brothers. I have a confusion concerning the name of Allah. Can I make a conclusion that Allah doesn't have a name like we human and deities in polytheistic religion have like krishna, shiva, lat, uzza etc. , His name *Allah* changes depend on language like Elohim in Hebrew, God in English etc? It would be better if you guys provide references. And most importantly, ignore my bad English 🥴.

assalamualaikum, I know prediction is a sin but can you explain to me exactly what prediction is yesterday i was in a conversation and i said **“there no way we’ll be able to live on mars”** and i just said it because i found it unbelievable so does it count as predictions and will my salah not be accepted for 40 days? And thank you.

Here are many questions for personal advice, and the most common answer is "ask a mufti". Well, muftis cannot feed and make a living out of "thank-yous". Question is: what is the appropriate payment for a mufti?

Assalam o alaikum! I was watching a video recently where someone pointed out that the hafs and warsh recitations of surah 98 verse 6 have different meaning. In hafs the word for worst of creatures is شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ while in warsh it says شر البريئة the latter translates into worst of innocent. I've checked the translation for بريئة and it translates into innocent. These are neither same nor complimentary. How do you reconcile these two?

I came across [Qur'an 35:27](https://www.islamawakened.com/quran/35/27/default.htm) : > Do not you see that Allah sends down from the sky water, then We bring forth therewith fruits (of) various [their] colors? And in the mountains (are) tracts, white and red (of) various [their] colors, and intensely black. Is there anything more direct in the Qur'an or Ahadith?

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh I am a revert to Islam and have a question concerning the precise timing of when to say "allahu akbar" during prayer. I was told by one party that you say "allahu akbar" **only when you find yourself in an entirely upright position** (i.e., your head points towards heaven; e.g., after you have finished switching from sujud to the intermediate sitting position or directly before you bow down for ruku). A second party told me that you say it **at the beginning of changing from one position to another** (e.g., you say it when you *intend* to rise from sujud and *then* you rise or you do both simultaneously). A third party told me that they are not sure, but that they simply do it when it feels right (sometimes before they change positions, sometimes whilst they change positions, etc.). What is the correct opinion concerning this?

This question only pertains to the specific cases mentioned above as we all know that a woman has to cover her arms till her wrists as these areas are the part of sitr. The question has been asked since the Muslimah got no choice as the chemicals interfering with the sleeves may cause her harm ,and during the surgery, sleeves might be quite a big risk when operating on a human body. Plus, the Muslimah covers her arms till her wrists as soon as her work is done.(Answers as per the Hanafi Fiqh would be highly appreciated)

What is dua of noor and when did Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) recite this dua? And what are the exact words of this dua?

I have recently heard a claim that Mohammad's father was a Christian. The person I heard it from had reservations about the claim, thinking it false, so I hope that you can provide some facts and sources about Mohammad's father and what religion he was before Mohammad became the Prophet and if he converted after Mohammad became the Prophet.

In my culture (Australian; English background), we usually eat with a fork in our left hand and the knife in the right. We place food in our mouths using the fork in our left hand. This is how I was brought up, and it would be considered bad manners to do otherwise. If a knife is unnecessary, we can use the fork alone in the right hand. This is suitable for eating e.g. pasta, but not for eating e.g. a chicken fillet, which is cut up using the right hand. I found this fatwa: > It is unlawful to eat with the left hand using a fork or your bare hand as the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "Say Bismillah, eat with your right hand and eat from what is nearer to you". -- IslamWeb It strikes me as a very strong prohibition. The other two points in the Prophet's statement don't strike me as obligatory. **Question**: Is there a consensus that eating with a knife and fork, as in Western culture, is unlawful? I'm wondering if this is a mainstream viewpoint. It would take a lot of practice to get accustomed to eating in another way, and people will probably think it's inappropriate.

Salam, does the Qur'an describe the sky as a solid object? In Quran 22:65 Allah says that he withholds the sky from falling. How is this possible when the sky is not a solid roof? Jkzh in advance, pls give sincere answers

If a man divorces his wife due to infidelity. And the haq maher agreed at the time of nikkah was a trip to Saudi Arabia. Does this need to still be upheld, what would be the equivalent to have the haq maher paid.

I was 14 when my father and mother forced me to wear a niqab without even describing me the benefits of this. Obviously, I knew but I never had that sense of acknowledgement in my head. On their force and beating, I started wearing niqab just to avoid any conflict in the house. It's been more than 7 years, I've been wearing it but I never loved this act with my full heart. I always wanted to take it off. Now, I'm 22 and in a medical field. I wore abaya and niqab whenever my parents are around and took them off in medical school. I dress modestly and also in favour of complete hijab. But whenever I wear niqab it's like I'm being hypocrite or dual faced because I'm not ready for this yet. I've discussed with my parents and every time instead of understanding me they start telling me that you're a kafirah you'll go to hell on this. You'll take us into hell. That's wrong. My family is Islamic extremist, they force teachings on everyone. Will I go to hell? What's it like to live in a house where you've to follow Islam by force and beating. I feel suffocated while living with them. What does Islam say about parents who force their children.
