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?

How does exploring soil, purified sand, or dust of Tayammum make a person cleaner?
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 t...

(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.

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?

Why did Muslims attack Banu Mustaliq
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...

About touching which part of mahram women is permissible
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?

Over Ramadan and after Ramadan, I have noticed a change in myself. I am no longer interested in salah or reading Quran. I am an 11 year old who takes their deen very seriously but I'm starting to believe that my iman is weak because of these factors. I always do my five daily prayers, but I feel I do it because it is a habit of mine, not for Allah. I am often unfocused during salah and am bored, thinking about my life in the dunya. Please explain what's going on so I can strengthen my iman. P.S. Thank you for your time.

I think I was born gay.I am only seventeen years old.I had a great time with my boyfriend. Now I'm weak to him. I am a Muslim, I pray and fast But I can't get this haram relationship out of my mind, I feel sexually oriented again and again. For many reasons I can't get out of wanting to bring myself to the path of Islam that I love someone who is of my gender. I feel attracted to him. I want to solve this. And it is better to say something about how I will return to the path of Islam.

What is behind the statement "Were it not 'Iyad the Maghrib would be unknown"?
There's a famous quote about [al-Qadi 'Iyad][1] القاضي عياض بن موسى, which is often mentioned: > لولا عياض لما عُرف المغرب/ لولا عياض ما عرف المغرب Which translates to: > Where it not 'Iyad the Maghrib would be unknown Or an other version of the quote saying: > لولا عياض ما ذُكر المغرب Which transla...
There's a famous quote about al-Qadi 'Iyad القاضي عياض بن موسى, which is often mentioned: > لولا عياض لما عُرف المغرب/ لولا عياض ما عرف المغرب Which translates to: > Where it not 'Iyad the Maghrib would be unknown Or an other version of the quote saying: > لولا عياض ما ذُكر المغرب Which translates to: > Where it not 'Iyad the Maghrib wouldn't be mentioned This quote(s) may refer to the depth of 'Iyad's knowledge, these are his well renowned works: - a-Shifa الشفا بتعريف حقوق المصطفى about attributes and miracles of the Prophet (pbuh) - Mashqriq al-Anwar مشارق الأنوار على صحاح الآثار about difficult terms and strangeness (gharib) or errors in the narrations of sahih al-Bukhari, sahih Muslim and al-Muwatta' - Ikmal al-Mu'allim إكمال المعلم بفوائد صحيح مسلم a commentary on sahih Muslim - al-I'laam bi hudood qawa'id al-Islam الإعلام بحدود قواعد الإسلام about the foundations of Islam: a-Shahadatan, as-Salat, as-Siyam, a-Zakat and al-Hajj - tarteeb al-Madarik -his book on the Maliki madhhab and its scholars- ترتيب المدارك وتقريب المسالك لمعرفة أعلام مذهب مالك However this could also refer to the fact that 'Iyad was among the first scholars from the western Islamic states that didn't need to travel to the east (al-Mashriq) to seek knowledge, as the west (al-Maghrib) and Muslim Iberian peninsula (al-Andalus) had enough great scholars. My question are: - Does this famous quote have a source? - Are there further explanations and meanings of this quote? And if so which?

On a website name Jihadica, various fatwas containing Daesh insignia were collected by certain academicians and researchers in 2014. Fatwa No. 68 is translated by UC Berkeley medical anthropology doctoral candidate, Khashayar Beigi (below): *" the experts of the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools of Islamic jurisprudence permitted killing of the warring infidels or apostates under the constraining circumstances of eating their flesh to stay alive. Imam Alnawawi says, “**There is permission to kill the warring party, the apostate, and moreover to eat their flesh carries no punishment** .” If the experts of jurisprudence have allowed under war conditions believers to eat the flesh of the infidel in order to prevent harm and loss of life, these apply as well to the transplant of organs from the apostate to the Muslim. The life and organs of the apostate are not protected by Muslim jurisprudence."* While the opinions of Daesh certainly do not matter, I want to know whether the opinion they impute on Imam Shafi'i (RA) and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (RA) are accurate or not? Is cannibalism on the kuffar and murtadeen haram or halal?

Salam-Waleikum-Warahmatullahi-Wabarakatuhu, I am a 16 year old boy, born and raised Muslim, I don't know who to talk to about this thing. Alhamdulillah I have been doing everything to do fewer sins and to become a good person for a few months now. But I have a problem that has plagued me since I was 11-12 years old and that is a very serious problem in my opinion and it is a problem that I still do today, the problem is that I can't get away from pornography and masturbation and from thinking about haram things 😔, every time I do it I regret it but I only understand it after I have done a haram thing and then ask forgiveness from Allah (Subhana-Wa-Tahala) but after I crash again in this Shaytan trap and I'm afraid that Allah (Subhana-Wa-Thala) don't forgive me anymore. I don't know what to do to quit anymore, I'm fasting on Mondays and Thursdays like the Sunnah of the Prophet (Muhammad Sallelahi-Alehi-Wa-Sallam) not always but I'm trying every week, I try to pray more, I try to train / physical exercise to distract myself, I try to detach myself from the phone / computer but I can't stop 😫, I barely managed to do only one week without masturbation and pornography but then I did it again 😓. It is something that bothers me because I am doing zina (I look and listen) which is one of the most sinful things in Islam😣. What should I do, or would you have any advice to give me about it? 😥 Please anyone can answer me? Jazak Allahu Khairan,

It is narrated in The History of al-Tabari Al-Tabari, Al-Tabari, Vol. 2, p. 21, p. 21: >"It is related by the father of Damrah b. Rabi'ah-Ibn 'Ata' that Ham begat all those who are black and curly-haired, while Japheth begat all those who are full-faced with small eyes, and Shem begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham's descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that wherever his descendants met the children of Shem, the latter would enslave them." What is the authenticity of these narrations? Likewise, are there any authentic passages within the Islamic discourse that relate a message that African folks are destined to be enslaved and cursed?

When the affiliate generates leads, I also get commission from it. Is it halal for me to get commission from loan leads, as my company is not providing the loan directly to customers; they just send leads to buyers, and then they provide loans? Is my earning halal?
