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?

As per fuqaha of 4 Madhab can Dar Al Islam revert Back To Dar Al Kufr/Dar Al Harb?

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.

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.

On January 8, 2024, the Saudi government hosted an Indian delegation to some of the holiest sites of Islam for a visit. Given that the Minister for Religion, Smriti Zubin Irani, is a Hindu and she didn't wear any hijab or abaya, what does Islamic shariya say about allowing and promoting non-Muslims, especially anti-Muslim Hindutva personnel, to visit these holy sites? 1. Is it permissible, according to Shariya, to allow Hindus to visit Islamic holy sites in Medina? 2. Is it permissible, according to Shariya, to allow women without hijab or abaya to visit Islamic holy sites in Medina?

For example playing with a team like Real Madrid, has a cross on the badge(logo). Would choosing to play with this team, make the player sinful or kufr? Even-though the video characters are the ones wearing it?

There is something, in my humble opinion, I really don't understand regarding Tayammum. According to the law, it's possible for one to **clean** himself by exploring soil, purified sand, or dust? (in case he doesn't have water). Let's assume that one has already clean hands and face and now he has to put them into the sand, how does it make them cleaner? I'm a bit confused by that.

Are only Dhimmi religions allowed to exist under Shariah rule while following their religion? What if a non-Dhimmi religion is to live under Islamic rule?

Can I pray salah beside my flag, The flag is not infront of me but it is about 2 metres from where I pray is it allowed or do I have to remove my flag? The Turkish Flag, Moon and star

Why Muhammad sm changed policy of tolerance of injustice to the policy of establishing justice by killing the culprits who were doing injustice to Muslims.

I am to marry a Muslim man. I am Sunni Muslim but he is Shia Muslim. We have both realized this is a problem and that the sects are generally against each other. There have even been some political issues. My family is not keen on letting me marry a Shia man, but he and I are both Muslim and we are looking for a way for him to convert to the Sunni sect, or anything that can help. He is not strongly bonded to the Shia sect at all or its beliefs. He is more leaning on the Sunni side. I hope it is not haram for me to marry a Shia man. My biggest concern is what he can do; how he can join the Sunni sect?

Salaam everyone, Why did Muhammad (s) make a surprise attack on Banu Mustaliq. In books of sirah, it says Banu Mustaliq were preparing to make an attack, but I don't trust books of sirah. Please can someone provide me a sahih/hasan hadith or a commentary on hadith (e.g. An-Nawawi, Ibn Hajar) on the reason behind the attack on Banu Mustaliq

So I follow the shafii madhab for most stuff but I have a problem with incontince for after peeing and in Maliki madhab says that it doesn’t break wudhu and if I follow this would this be considered talfiq or is it okay

My question is that is it permissible for male to massage her mom's or aunt's feet and legs, since these women are old so these parts often get cramped due to work and they ask to massage them. Is it permissible? As there is no shahwat involved?
