I came to know about an online tuition-free university: University of the People. The university offer tuition-free education, and provides a lots of scholarship and charges student only during exams, that can be waived off if you apply. Their motto is to provide free education, but the founder and CEO is Israeli. Now, I want to know as a Muslim student, should I take their bachelor's degree courses? And those who have already got educated with their scholarship, will it be haram for them?

> Al-Zawahir ‘an Iqtiraaf Al-Kaba’ir (2/225) It was also reported: “Whoever commits adultery with a married woman will have half of the punishment of this nation in the grave for her and for him. When the Day of Resurrection comes, God Almighty will judge her husband regarding his good deeds. This is if it was without his knowledge. If he knew and kept quiet, God will forbid him Paradise, because God Almighty wrote on its door: ‘You are forbidden to the cuckold.’” Edit: The Arabic text - التخريج من المصادر العربية الزواجر عن اقتراف الكبائر: (٢/ ٢٢٥) وورد أيضا: «إن من زنى بامرأة متزوجة كان عليه وعليها في القبر نصف عذاب هذه الأمة، فإذا كان يوم القيامة يحكم الله تعالى زوجها في حسناته، هذا إذا كان بغير علمه، فإن علم وسكت حرم الله عليه الجنة؛ لأن الله تعالى كتب على بابها أنت حرام على الديوث Is this true and authentic? If anyone has knowledge please comment or answer.

As salamualaikum After researching duas for better eyesight I’ve come across a few pages and videos claiming to recite Verse 22 of Surah Qaf then blowing it on your finger an rubing it on your eyes. Somehow that doesn’t really sound authentic/ part of the sunnah to me, which is why it would be helpful if someone of knowledge would help me clarify this matter.

What is the difference between the qalqalah and shaddah sounds?

When a woman is going through perimenopause- before menopause where her period has completely stopped. She gets her period during the usual menses week but the bleeding is irregular for example she bleeds on first day not second then starts again and not the next day. Should she be praying during the days she isn’t bleeding. Is ghusl needed before every prayer or wushu is enough

The Quran gives limited information about Haman. Is there any Hadith which presents more information about him? I cannot find any direct hadith from the Prophet pbuh but I think there would be some Mawquf hadiths available.

I recently came across the quote that says to read Quran after the burial of ones parents for the time in which a camel is slaughtered and distributed i wanna know how much time is enough or it takes to do that please help.

The way I perform ghusl is that I make intention, and then wash my entire body with water, and at the end, I pour water over my body. Pouring water over my body is not necessary, but I do it for good measure. Today when I was performing ghusl, I washed my entire body, which technically meant my ghusl was complete, but before pouring water over my body, I went out of the shower to the shelf on the bathroom, to get something. Then I came back and poured water over my body and finished ghusl. I am now worried that since I left to get something (I was still in the bathroom by the way) then my ghusl won't be valid, I think shaytaan is giving me waswas.

I need help concerning the fate of a person who exposes his sins whether out of pride or neglect. In an authentic hadith it is said that such a person will not be forgiven. Is this absolute? Can a mujahir still repent before he or she dies as he reaffirm his Iman? Or is it futile meaning there is no hope for such a person despite having Iman?

In a fatwa about women wearing pants,I read that it is permissible for women to wear pants if it is loose & not similar to pants that men wear. But I'm having a hard time understanding what kind of pants are for women. I mean men wear all kinds of pants these days. Can I buy a pair of pants from a shop if it says "Women trousers" on the lebel? Will that lebel be enough for me to explain myself to allah? Usually where I come from, people especially my moms age tend to consider pants as men clothing.however modern muslim women are seen wearing pants in recent times.

From the size of the major Hadith collections, I'd estimate that there are only around 80 thousand at most, including overlapping Hadith. Some links (quite unreliable) seem to put the number closer to 10 thousand unique Sahih(Authentic) Hadith. Is there a study that identifies exactly how many are out there? If not, what are the major Sahih(Authentic) Hadith collections? To be precise, I'd like to know from a Sunni perspective. But answers from other sects would be interesting.

Some Christians raise the question that the prophet used to keep fast of Ashura in pre-Islamic days till the time the series of revelations to Allah had not yet begun. So why He was adopting the methods of the Pagans

Salamun alaykum Shia brothers. I want to be educated on the matter of 12 imams. I don't want to offend anyone or mock any beliefs, I pose this question and set of points as I want to receive answers. My question is, did the Prophet (SAW) and the 12 Imams really make the concept of 12 Imams clear to their people? I contest this with 3 points: 1. We have 10's of 100's of hadiths and quran verses about Salah, Zakat, Hajj, Tawhid and Prophethood. Through this repetition, we're sure about the necessity of the 5 pillars within Islam. If the concept of Imamah was essential, it would deserve the same repetition by the Prophet (SAW) and 12 Imams in hadith literature 2. On the Hadith of 12 successors , it talks about caliphs instead of imams, doesn't mention names and says they'll be from the clan of Quraysh when the 12 imams are strictly from his (SAW) progeny. The Hadith doesn't make clear who these 12 successors would be. 3. Throughout history, many Shia sects came and went, and many branches still exist today. If the Prophet (SAW) and Imams properly conveyed Imamah to their people, why such differences between the Shia sects on the matter of Imamah? They all have their own Imams, with no set of Imams having more evidence than the other (According to my knowledge). In Shia sources, does each Imam narrate a hadith where he clearly appoints the next Imam? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Optional night prayer is a confirmed Sunnah and it is the best prayer after the obligatory ones. **The Prophet (may Allah exalt his mention) said**: >The best prayer after the obligatory prayer is the optional night prayer. [[Sunan an-Nasa'i 1614](http://www.sunnah.com/nasai/20/17)]

From what I've learned, Muhammad was revealed the Quran over 23 years from angel Gabriel, and he told it to his companions who memorized it through rhythmic chants and such, and this memorization technique seems to have been common in ancient pre-islamic Arabia. Only after Muhammads death it seems that it was written down. My question is, what were the exact techniques used to memorize the verses of the Quran. How did this work? Is there a known rhythm or way of singing or chanting them? If so, where can I learn this rhythm?

السلام علیکم ورحمة الله وبركاته I know that Shias don't trust most of the sahabah so they won't accept their Hadith narrations but obviously Imam Ali bin Abi Talib RA is an exception to this. In fact, we sunnis have a hadith narrated by members of Ahlul Bait from Ali RA that Mutah has been forbidden by the Prophet SAW. This is present in in [Bukhari](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4216) and [Muslim](https://sunnah.com/muslim:1407a) , among other collections used by sunnis. In fact, even a Shia scholar, Abdul Razzaq alSan'ani RH has narrated this Hadith [here](https://sunnah.com/ahmad:1204) . (Note that Sunnis hold Abdul Razzaq and his Hadiths in very high regard even though he was a Shia). What surprises me, however, is that Shias still consider Mutah to be permissible despite this Hadith. Which begs the obvious question, is this Hadith even present in Shia sources?

I have to take two medications twice a day. One I was going to try to take during suhoor, but the other medication is a stimulant and if I take it too late or early I will not longer be able to sleep. I am supposed to take it at noon. I don’t want to miss out on Ramadan but I have pots now pots now, and if I miss these medications I will only be able to lie in bed all day.
