as salaamu alaikum, Since my mother is now divorced to her ex-husband this is not my father, we still communicate. Does this mean he is no longer considered my mahram? Should I adjust my behavior around him now that he's no longer my mother's husband? How does this dynamic work? Jazakallah khair for your help.

The conditions for having more than one wife as per my understanding are:- - Treat all wives equally - Provide all wives with the same standard of accommodation If a man is able to meet all these conditions, then can he not have as many wives as he wants to? Why only limit to 4? Why only 4 wives are allowed in Islam?

I am a student. And I have to give presentations and group work. I have done my group work but I feel to embarrass to or public fear of speaking not most of the time bc I want avoid it. And this is taken at Friday. Which will affect my prayer and some others work. So I told them I will do my part but just present it. Because I will be out of town. Is it sinful ? To avoid matter like this ? Because I’m not that strong about my presentation skill. I feel embarrassed.

1.Almost all the restaurants in my area don’t sell halal slaughtered meat(chicken/mutton)so if I eat veg in these restaurants do I always need to ask them about the utensils they use for preparing the veg & non-veg food or just let it be as it might trigger my OCD? 2. Is the issue of contamination of food in Islam real as there is nothing specifically written about it in the hadhees?

I was wondering something, my father owns a restaurant and our food is halal. we work during ramadan and we open just before maghrib so we have a lot of muslims come to break their fast and to eat. if i give my customers their food, do i get the reward for feeding a fasting person like prophet Muhammad said in a hadith even though they pay me for the food?

Depending on how you read the verse of wudhu (5:6 in the Qur'an) you can wash the feet or wipe on them. Sunnis wash the feet as in the 1st reading and wipe on socks in a state of wudhu as in the 2nd reading via the Sunni ahadith. I would like to see reports from the Shi'a where the Prophet (as) actually wiped on his bare feet please. Shi'a don't accept washing the feet at all I understand.

Qur'an 16:66 states: > And indeed, for you in grazing livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from what is in their **bellies** - between excretion and blood - pure milk, palatable to drinkers. Scientifically speaking, I believe the cow does not produce the milk in its stomach, unless I'm wrong.

There are artists, some do poor work, some do great work. And there are the beholders and buyers that praise, enjoy and pay for that work. And then, there are palgiators, reproducing original artwork or extending it. Now some *beholders* as I choose to call them will get near ecstasy for some artwork, but will get really disappointed if it turns out it has not been made by their famous artist but by someone else. I call this idolatry, shirk, as they do not value the work, but the artist. What is the Islamic view on this?

How do islamic judicial system establishing that the crime of rape happened. Is the crime assumed to have taken place only on the word of mouth of the woman I read that the word of mouth is taken as evidence so is a innocent man hanged because some random woman with a vendetta said that she is raped by this man. If even a vaginal bleeding is taken as evidence in case of virgin woman it is completely possible that evil woman just shove her vagina with something to build a case and have a innocent man hanged. And even if pregnency is taken as evidence what if that child is from his husband and husband and wife collude to have that man hanged.How a man innocent man prove his innocence.and also Can he take Quranic oath as a last resort.will he be accquited.Otherwise I am seeing a innocent man being hanged which is a grave injustice. Please somebody shed light on this I am so confused right now.

It is well known that in surat al-Mujadilah (58) in each verse the name of Allah الله is quoted. I think that similarly it is possible that many surah's of the Quran may include in each verse the name of Allah or a synonym -meaning one of Allah's beautiful names- and I'd like to have a list of these surah's!

ويجوز شراء أولاد الْحَرْبِ مِنْهُمْ، كَمَا يَجُوزُ سَبْيُهُمْ. وَيَجُوزُ شِرَاءُ أولاد العهد منهم، ولا يجوز سبيهم. كتاب الأحكام السلطانية لأبي يعلى الفراء Page 145 Sorry for asking again same question but couldn't get proper clarity regarding his statement. What does Imam Abu Ya'ala ibn al-Faraa' al-Hanbali mean by saying it is permissible to buy from Ahlul Ahad but not permissible to capture a proper detailed explanation in a simplified manner? Regarding Ahlul harb it is clear it is permissible to buy and capture them but this Ahlul 'aahad creates confusion due to the word "ولا يجوز سبيهم". Does Imam mean that it is permissible to buy and set free or he mean if Ahlul 'aahad sell them as slaves it is permissible to buy and keep them as slave but capturing and enslavement are prohibited?

Please give a response to this as I can not find an answer anywhere. Was Maria al-Qibtiyya a slave before giving birth to prophet's son? Prior to Islam there were many sources of slavery but after Islam the only source of slavery is captives captured in war or children of slaves. Maria was neither of them, she was gifted by a king and she belonged to a noble family in that place. How did she become slave in the first place when she was not obtained in war. Just because a king claimed she was a slaves, will she became a slave for Muslim? Isn't the only source of slavery being captured in war or children of slave?

Assalam o Alaikum I`m here to tell my sins and ...... the problems I'm facing. I was in a haram relationship and my mom caught me last night talking to him this was my first time ... I was never like this I was a sweet, innocent girl. I want to repent of my sins. So my question is will my mother and Allah ever forgive me

Please help and assist me because I have accidently eaten gelatin in my ice cube gum candy. Well actully here's what happened... So a couple of months ago, my brother had brought an ice cube breakers gum candy and me and my freinds loved to eat gum in school so I decided to take it and share with them everyday because I wanted to be nice. I offered it to 4 of my freinds and 3 of them took and said thank you but one of them had warned me something I never forgot. She told me she didn't want it because this type of gum had gelatin inside... I honestly had a bad feeling about this but scince I wasn't for sure and my dad and brother was ok with buying this then I just decided to go along with it and I can't remember exactly why I never checked the ingredients on the back but I'm thinking it's because I was too scared that she would actually be right and I would see gelatin on the back and feel guilty for not listening. So I had assumed I would rather not know than me knowing and then feeling guilty on not listening to her. Now it was a couple of months later and I was researching if Oreo cookies were halal to eat and I had randomly gotten the memory of the gum and her telling me about it, so I decided to check for myself and search it up. Then to my horror it actually did say gelatin and now I am unsure on what to do because I not only ate myself, but I also shared with my freinds and why would I do such a horrible thing when I could have just red the ingredients on the back sooner😓. Now I have already made a Dua apologizing to Allah (SWT) for my evil deed but I wish to feel more sincere about it and I wish for any of you to help me and give me some Dua or repentance suggestions to gain complete forgiveness from Allah (SWT). Any help would be appreciated and may Allah (SWT) bless you all Ameen

AoA, What is the law for inheritance for a second wife who has a kid from previous marriage when the man has also 2 kids from a previous marriage and has divorced his first wife? The couple doesn't want to have children from the new marriage as each has child/ren already from their previous marriage. JazakAllah

In Tajweed, especially in this [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@Arabic101) , it is emphasized that some sounds should be lengthened up to 4 seconds. I am not a linguist, and I am not a historian. Yet I know many languages in different levels (Persian, English, a little French, Quranic Arabic, Kurdi, Turkish), and in none of them, there is this concept of elongation of sounds. And while I fear Allah and don't want to be a critic, it seems strange to me to think of Arabs contemporary to our Prophet (PBUH) who would speak with sounds that take 4 seconds to pronounce. This makes me suspicious of the Tajweed rules altogether. Can someone please explain where this comes from and how we can trust that it's true?

Firstly, I was wondering previously that many people lie about themselves in their job CV. As the person is getting job on the basis of his/her qualifications in the CV. So, as he is getting hired on the basis of the lies doesn't it make the money that he earns from that job Haram. Secondly, If a person earns haram money but does not spend that money for his own and gives it to the poor does that still make him a sinner?
