In case that Khul'a الخلع happened and the wife and husband have legally been separated, but want to get back together. I assume that there's no turning back (reconciliation) within the 'Iddah as it would be the case for talaq. Nevertheless on this topic there are two different views one setting khul'a "equal to talaq" (divorce) and another setting it "equal to faskh" (invalidation) as I've learnt from https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/35273/what-is-the-period-of-iddah-after-khula . So there might be at least two different opinions on whether or not a reconciliation is not permissible. I'd like to have an answer addressing the possibly different fiqh views on this: - Is it allowed to reconcile during the 'Iddah? - If not is it allowed to re-marry during the 'Iddah or must they wait?

I have to eat anti epileptic medicine at 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. This cannot be delayed not even for 10 minutes. So if I eat my medicine while fasting, will it make my fast makrooh?

A husband under the pressure of his wife, without willingness to divorce her signs divorce paper but the signature of the husband is not genuine or the different from the signature on nikkahnama. Husband knowingly, deliberately signs the different signature than the genuine. Is this divorce valid?

What's the most practical way to wash feet in wudu? In my place, the sink is too high (or perhaps I am too short) which makes it difficult to wash the feet; or is better to use a bucket or tub of water? also, should we dry the feet immediately, because otherwise slippers and floor get wet?

As-salāmu ʿalaykum, I would appreciate clarification regarding my marriage situation. • Talaq 1: 19 May 2025 — my husband pronounced one talaq after I requested divorce. We reconciled the same day. • Talaq 2: 19 June 2025 — my husband pronounced one talaq after I again requested divorce. • Talaq 3: 7 July 2025 — my husband pronounced one talaq. I later realised I was menstruating at the time. • Reconciliation: 28 July 2025 — during what I believed was my ‘iddah, I asked my husband to state “I take you back as my wife,” and we resumed marital relations. No new nikah was performed. Could you please clarify: 1. Does the talaq pronounced on 7 July during menstruation count? 2. What is the current talaq count? 3. Are we Islamically considered married? JazākumAllāhu khayran.

I know someone who was raised Christian and continues to believe in God, but questions the modern day bible and believes it to have been altered, he also questions the notion of the Trinity, and whether Jesus was simply a human and not is not to be considered the son of God. My understand is that what defines "Ahlul Kitab" are that they believe in God and believe and follow the guidance of the bible/torah based on them being Christian or Jewish, but in situations where someone questions the modern day version of the bible and believes it to have been altered, is he still considered "Ahlul Kitab"? Thank you

Islamqa.info tells the shahadah can be ***affirmed in its meaning***. https://www.google.com/amp/s/islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/239026 The following are instances in Quran & sunni corpus where people attained Islam with a testimony which is different to the standard one. 1. The magicians of firaun said ***"We believe in the Rabb of Musa and harun"*** Quran 20:70 2. The people of ditch, ashabul aqdood said ***"We believe in the Rabb of this young man"*** [Muslim 3005] 3. Zaid bin amr bin nufayl said ***"O Allah bear witness I'm upon the religion of Ibrahim "*** [Bukhari 3827] 4. Waraqah bin nawfal affirmed that the angel which brought revelation to prophet is called namoos and ***he would support him if he was alive in future*** [bukhari 3392] There is ijma that all above became muslims and waraqah became a companion by that statement of his as per some scholarly opinions. https://islamqa.info/en/answers/182441/was-waraqah-ibn-nawfal-a-companion Since the magicians of firaun didnt speak Arabic, it can be construed that they said the testimony with a identical wording in a different language. So the question is can reverts whose language is not Arabic can say something similar to ***"I believe in deity of muhammad"*** or ***"I believe in deity of muslims"*** to validate to muslims that they follow Islam now? PS: it will ease difficulty of non Arabic speaking reverts, to say the testimony, since Islam is easy [ bukhari 39]

Both of my toes have mild ingrown toenails as the nails are curved but they don't penetrate the flesh. However, when doing ghusl or wudu water does not reach those parts of the skin covered by the curved nails. What should I do? I've tried to make sure that water reaches those parts but I remain uncertain. Have my ghusl and wudu (and ultimately salat) been invalid? I've been thinking of going to a doctor to remove the nails once and for all.

Ive heard people say that the time of isha is when the red glow dissapears from the western sky, Ive heard some people say this is when the sun is at 13 degrees however Ive heard other people say this is when the sun is at 12 degrees. I am trying to find the source for this? Where is the source that gave these amount of degrees? I am also wondering about the Shia tradition for the Maghrib prayer which is when the redness disappears from the Eatern sky, do we know how many degrees the sun is at this point?

I am Muslim but my Step-son is Christian and he eats Bacon and Ham (Pork). Since we live in the same house, Is it allowed to bring Bacon and Ham (Pork) in the house though I do not consume it? Is it permissible for me to buy such food for him with my Halal rizq when he ask for? please advise.

I’m going to answer my own question because there aren’t any posts, in fairness, that talk about this topic in the English language. This is something I wish my younger self could have read. ***But the question pertains to the definition of the word “kuba” or ”kubah” (كوبة) and does it relate to the topic of music in the religion of sunni Islam?*** > Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: > > عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَالْكُوبَةِ وَالْغُبَيْرَاءِ وَقَال"‏ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْغُبَيْرَاءُ السُّكُرْكَةُ تُعْمَلُ مِنَ الذُّرَةِ شَرَابٌ يَعْمَلُهُ الْحَبَشَةُ ‏. > >The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade wine (khamr), game of chance (maysir), drum (kubah), and wine made from millet (ghubayrah), saying: Every intoxicant is forbidden. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Sallam Abu 'Ubaid said: Ghubairah was an intoxicant liquor made from millet. This wine was made by the Abyssinians Abu Dawood 3685: Book 26, Hadith 3677 as well as > Narrated Ibn Abbas: > >عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِيمَ نَشْرَبُ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَلاَ فِي الْمُزَفَّتِ وَلاَ فِي النَّقِيرِ وَانْتَبِذُوا فِي الأَسْقِيَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنِ اشْتَدَّ فِي الأَسْقِيَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَصُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ ‏"‏ أَهْرِيقُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَىَّ أَوْ حُرِّمَ الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْكُوبَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ بَذِيمَةَ عَنِ الْكُوبَةِ قَالَ الطَّبْلُ ‏.‏ > >The deputation of ‘Abd al-Qais asked (the prophet):From which(vessels)should we drink ? He (the prophet) replied: Do not drink from the pumpkins, vessels smeared with pitch, and hollow stumps , and steep dates in skins. They asked: Messenger of Allah, if it ferments? He replied: infuse water in it. They asked: Messenger of Allah...” (repeating the same words). He replied to them third or fourth time: Pour it away. He then said: Allah has forbidden me, or he said: He has forbidden me wine, game of chance and kubah(drums). He said: Every intoxicant is unlawful. Sufyan said: I asked ‘All b. Badhimah about kubah . He replied: Drum. Abu Dawood 3696: Book 26, Hadith 3687 *side note, (الدُّبَّاءِ) *dubba'e* is not a pumpkin per-se but more precisely calabash or long melon because pumpkins were not discovered until Columbus in the 15th century. A bit of an anachronism since the hadith takes place 1,400 years ago.

I'm just wondering because I read someone saying there is a Hadith saying that the Prophet (p.b.u.h) did not accept the cross.

Assalamualaikum, this year will be my first Ramadan, Alhamdulillah. I am just wondering on what/how I should prepare myself, and if there is anyway to obtain extra good deeds this Ramadan. Thank you to everyone who answers my questions.

Salam Alikum brothers, I live in a small city with no mosques in it, it is 1.30 hours drive from Chicago, IL . I know there are 5 methods to calculate prayer times - Muslim World League - Egyptian General Organization - Umm al-Qura - University of Islamic Sciences - Islamic society of North America What are the differences between them, as each one gives me different prayer times. Which one should I follow? I have no mosque in here to follow its Azan thou. Does it have something to do with the Madhabs? Please advice

Allah has said that He would destroy everything, so would He destroy the Kursi too and does that mean that Allah will destroy everything and He will be the only one who will remain in the end?

Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyyah was a son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, in a Sahih hadith he mentioned: >I said to my father: Which of the people after the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is best? He replied: Abu Bakr. I then asked: Who comes next? He said: ‘Umar. I was then afraid of asking him who came next, and he might mention ‘Uthman, so I said: You came next, O my father? He said: I am only a man among the Muslims. I find this hadith contradicting to the fundamental values of Shia beliefs, not only the view of Umar to be one of the best people after the prophet, but that they are even mentioned before Ahl al-Kisa for example. How does Shia Muslims interpret this hadith?

Does verse 25:36 mean that the Egyptians ceased to exist as a people after the Exodus? > And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." > Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction. (25:36) > And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does > not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing > beneath me; then do you not see? Or am I [not] better than this one > who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear? Then why have > there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the > angels in conjunction?" So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. > Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of > Allah]. And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and > drowned them all.(43:51-55) > So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from > the sea that which covered them(20:78)
