I have only come across the hadith where Umar ibn al Kattab references his father's cruelty. If a parent is cruel what was advised at the time of the prophet(Saw)?

What does Islam say about parents apologising to children. I posted a thread previously about differences in cultures. Again, I am part of 2 cultures, and based on 1 of them, parents apologising to children is a very good thing, it is considered setting a good example and it teaches the child manners and also respecting them at the same time if the parent does something wrong and apologies to the child. The other culture I am part of considers this to be almost sin like, i.e. a parent never ever apologies to a child, no matter what, even in an accident situation or even if the parent wrongs the child and realises later that s/he wronged the child. Does Islam have any rules about this? i.e. in Islam, are parents allowed (or encouraged) to apologies to their children if the parent wrongs the child somehow. Or is it considered almost sin like for parents to apologies to children if the parent wrongs the child in some form. For example, the parent is going from 1 room in the house to another, and accidentally bumps into a child because the parent was not looking where s/he was going. Does Islam say that the parent should apologies, or does Islam that the parent should never apologies to his/her child? By saying something like "ohhh, sorry, are you OK"? 1 culture I am part of recommends this, the other culture considers this almost sin like. What does islam encourage? That parents are too high in their position as a parent to apologies to children, or parents should teach their children by apologising to them if needed to set an example? Prefer sunni view with evidence from quran/hadith and/or fatwa.

Salam alikum I know someone who stole lots of food and toys from several different places but now he wants to pay back the money but cannot return to the places because he moved away what should he do?

I am not a Muslim. In discussions about Israel/Palestine with Muslims online, a number of them have referenced a "rule of 80" in connection with Israel. From the context of the discussions, it seemed to be that they were saying that Israel would last only 80 years. Does anyone know the source of this "rule of 80"? Is there any authority for interpreting this source as applying to the modern state of Israel?

I am a teenage girl who at times experiences uncontrollable sexual thoughts or just general discharge does this constantly require ghusl? I make ghusl multiple times a day from Time to time due to my doubts and it causing overburdening within salah what do I do

As far as I know there are more than one reading for Quran. Some say they are 7 and others say they are 14. What does that mean? Are there more than one Quran? Which reading is the correct one and why? What is the role of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) exactly concerning these readings?

As you know, in Islam sexual relations are allowed between spouses and possessions of the right hand, with the latter being gained from war. Is it halal for a women to voluntarily submit as a slave to a man? In this hypothetical situation a proper contract would be put in place, no coercion would take place, the potential slave would be of sound mind and treated with respect. I haven't found anything in my research to indicate that this isn't Islamic. Thoughts?

Assalamu Alaikum waramatullah wabarakatuh, I am a 21 years old revert sister, from a Christian family recently I noticed my brother and two cousins are interested in my religion, my brother who is 17 has met with me with his intention to fast Ramadan and pray but he doesn't know how to or even know what to say, he says he will pray together with me.. is it permissible if I lead the prayer or if we pray on the same row, I do not understand how to go about it, thank you. Assalam Alaikum.

I recently learnt that fadak was an endowment to fatima by the prophet of Islam and abu bakr confiscated it as per twelver Fadak came under prophet/muslims in 628 CE. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquest_of_Fadak Zaynab bint Muhammad died in 629 CE. Umm kulsum bint Muhammad died in 630 CE. Twelver say fadak was endowment and not inheritance. Even if it's assumed if this is endowment are we accepting that prophet did injustice to zaynab and umm kulthum by not gifting them anything? Is this a slander on the prophet of Islam? I believe quran orders the parents to be just and equal in giving gifts to children.

I have had sex with an innocent girl of my age we both are muslims. I did not have the knowledge of haram and halal while performing the act but now I feel disgusted. She wants me to marry her but my parents are strictly against love marriges. Question: I want to know if this relationship would be halal if i convince my parents to get us married? I am afraid if this relationship would become haram as we have already indulged in the sinful act. I am very scared and I do not want to spoil her future. Please guide me in this as I do not want to let her go.

Salam alaikum brothers and sisters, I am very bored and I fill that boredom by sometimes gaming or by watching videos or by reading Qur'an - you get the point. I used to role-play too in character.ai, but stopped doing that. The role plays I usually did were something in the lines of putting myself inside an already existing storyline, for example Avatar the last airbender. I would put myself as an earthbender or something like that and start a role play based off of that, usually containing a conflict against either the villains or the heroes. Regardless, I stopped doing it because I feared it wasn't good. I usually came back after a few weeks to full my returning boredom. For people suggesting fasting, I'm already fasting in alternation (1 day yes, 1 day no). **Anyway, I want to know whether it's haram to role-playing in Character.ai or not, I also want a good explanation in if it's halal or haram with either hadiths or verses of the Qur'an.** Thank you.

When you come into mosque late for Zuhr, and someone is busy with salah, without you knowing if he is performing Sunnah Zuhr or Fard Zuhr, can you join that person and perform your Fard Zuhr and carry on after he salaam and still get the benefit of congregation (jama'a) salaah?

Before marriage I and my husband had non penetrative zina on video calls, Is my marriage valid?

I have a discord account and the display name is called The Egglord. Now, many people are attacking me on it as being shirk. Is this true? I do not intend to be a god or whatnot. I just named it because i loved eggs and i just had a lot of them in my pantry. So, I named myself that name. Now, many people are bullying me that it is pure shirk as calling yourself the lord of something is haram and implies you are a god, which is not true. I intended the name to be a joke way, as in king, like a royal member that owns an army of eggs, a commander you could say. Please help me on this!

We know that apart from becoming husband of Khadija, Muhammad (PBUH) did job under her. What was the name of the position of that job? (I understand there was no recruitment advertisement or job description like today, but still there must be a name even if that is simply 'assistant'.) Reference required.

I was wondering if Shafi school only allow people of the book to be Dhimmi and pay jizya is their a different opinion in the school that says all non Muslims can be Dhimmi. Also if this is true how did the Indonesias treat the Hindus and Buddhist as Indonesia practices the Shafi school and did they make them pay jizya

https://shamela.ws/book/11430/18980#p1 This link talks about the following: - The Malikis and Shafi'is say that when a minor is able to withstand intercourse this impediment is removed. - The Shafi'is say that if the husband says 'hand her over to me and I will not have intercourse until she is able' even then she will not be handed over to him, even if he is trustworthy. That is because there is no reasonable security from his lust. Medical research discourages pregnancy at very young ages e.g. 9, 10 and 11. However, Aisha was married at 9, an age considered very young for pregnancy. Scholars tend to focus on the dangers of sexual intercourse rather than pregnancy itself. How can coitus be permissible with a very young girl but the dangers pregnancy which can follow, were not discussed by them? Regarding the marriage to Aisha, since we have more medical knowledge of the dangers of very young pregnancy, would marrying someone of that very young age be forbidden and objectively wrong today, since the shafis said if you fear harm for her then the hand over cannot happen? I'm asking as angel Gabriel essentially passed the message to marry her from God. I have seen related Qs on the site but this is a bit different. Thanks.

Does performing one umrah remove all types of sins? How many times should one perform an umrah?

Under what circumstances could for example Persia be justified in engaging in a preemptive strike on for example Rome? Does there have to be evidence that Rome presents a danger to Persia? Or is it enough that Rome is known not only to be the home of idol worship but also the leader of idol worship worldwide?

I'm new to the religion and actively reading the Quran. I wanted to ask. Is it harram to hire an escort for spending time with you and having sex? She's not part of a brothel, just independant. Also, I'm engaged but my wife is many countries away, and something makes me feel like this would also make it harram, is that true? sorry for asking such dumb questions.
